A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 460
by Hectopascal(헥토파스칼 )
Episode 460
Zeke was startled when he saw the message that appeared.
‘System access user?’
I knew that our hearts were connected through the oath of fidelity but I didn’t know that it also had the function of accessing the system.
Another message then occurred to me.
[It is possible to grant system sharing permission to the relevant user or change the relevant settings.]
[Do you want to grant sharing permission to the relevant user?]
That meant that if Zeke gave permission Scheherazade could share his systems as well.
Zeke realized the true function of the Oath of Faithfulness.
‘Is this the shared function of the system that the great sage spoke of? It means that the Kabbalah system can be applied to others not just me.’
Scheherazade asked looking at Zeke’s expression.
“Why is that? Did you really hear my voice in your mind?”
Zeke shook his head at Scheherazade’s words.
“I don’t know Your Majesty.”
“Hmm it clearly says so in the records. Is there another way?”
At that moment messages appeared one after another before Zeke’s eyes.
[A message from the system user ‘Can you hear me?’ has arrived.]
[A message from the system user ‘Can you hear me?’ has arrived.]
[A message from a system user has arrived: ‘Why are you refusing to sleep with me? You couldn’t possibly be…’]
Zig quietly closed the message window and looked at Scheherazade.
“The fatigue of the sacred ordeal is suddenly coming on me. Your Majesty must be tired as well so I will take my leave for today.”
Zeke tried hard to ignore Scheherazade’s words to stay longer since he wasn’t that tired.
Scheherazade sent Zeke away with a regretful expression.

Returning to his room Zeke sat down on the bed and turned on the system window.
‘I guess I should do some organizing.’

The newly discovered system sharing feature was amazing but since I had returned to the phenomenal world from the Temple of the Beginning and entered the Sultan’s Palace right away I still hadn’t sorted out the items I had received as a reward.
Zig decided to put aside his research on the system sharing feature and first look at the reward he received from the Temple of the Beginning.
‘I only received points as a reward and there are random boxes outside of the grade and special random boxes that I received before. Let’s organize the points first.’
I checked the status window and saw that I currently had 24478 points.
Zeke checked the required points for the Dragon Clan skill ‘Polymorph’ which has not been unlocked yet.
‘You need 7500 points to unlock it but if you deduct 30% from that you need 5250 points.’
There were plenty of karma points to release.
There you have gained the ability to fully unlock Defense Mode and earn a large amount of Karma Points.
Zig decided to unlock the polymorph skill without any burden.
As soon as I chose to unlock the skill a message appeared before my eyes.
[You have acquired the Dragon Tribe skill level 5 Polymorph skill.]
Although Zig unlocked the skill he was troubled over how to use the Polymorph skill he had acquired.
Then the message window popped up again.
[Choose the race you want to polymorph.]
At the same time a list of countless races appeared before Zeke’s eyes.
‘Oh? You can turn into an elf too. What about goblins or ogres?’
Upon closer inspection it seemed that even Master Nigel’s race the Unicorns were on the list of polymorphable races so it seemed that any race Zeke had ever encountered could be transformed.
‘They are the Ilgakjok. They say they are a race that has now disappeared from the Eastern Continent.’
Zeke chose the unicorn out of curiosity. However a message popped up saying that he couldn’t choose it due to lack of skill.
Zeke clicked his tongue and looked through the list again choosing a safe elf Polymorph.
Tsk tsk tsk―
Zeke’s body was enveloped in light and his body began to change.
After a moment when the light faded Zeke looked down at his body.
‘Hmm? Is this the body of an elf? The body feels somewhat light.’
Zeke stood slowly in front of the mirror in that state.
“oh?”
Zeke who had been transformed into an elf had a much more feminine appearance and a thin body than before.
The basic appearance seemed to be based on the original appearance with only the race changing.
“This is so amazing.”
As he examined his body Zeke suddenly realized something surprising.
‘I can feel the various energies existing in the atmosphere much better.’
Elves were originally the closest race to spirits and had keen senses that allowed them to sense areas that humans could not.
It was through the elf’s keen senses that Zeke first realized that the atmosphere was filled with such a variety of energies.
“With an elf body I can clearly understand how chakras work.”
Zeke moved his body around in admiration.
They could move more agilely than human flesh and their senses were also more sensitive.
It had been a long time since Zikya had surpassed the limits of humanity so he didn’t feel much of a difference from his original body but if he were a normal human he probably wouldn’t be able to easily accept the elf’s senses.

After testing the elf’s senses for a while Zeke released the polymorph.
“With my current level of skill I think I can maintain it for half a day.”
It seemed like the retention time was different depending on which race you changed into.
After testing out his polymorph skills Zeke took out the random box he had received as a reward.
“I wonder what kind of item will come out this time.”
After using his power of luck Zeke slowly opened the random box outside of the rank.
[The user’s strong will triggers the power of luck.]
[The result value of the random box changes depending on the influence of luck.]
[Provides optimal results for each user.]
When I opened the random box a rainbow of lights burst out.
The item appeared in the light.
After the light completely disappeared Zeke tilted his head at the item in front of him.
‘box?’
I opened the random box and another box came out.
Zig reached out for the antique-looking box and at the same time a message came to him.
[You have acquired the legendary item ‘Ark of the Covenant’.]
“tabernacle?”
The Ark usually meant a box for storing sacred relics.
It wasn’t easy to understand why the storage box was considered a legendary item.
Zig who had been wondering immediately checked the information on the Ark.
―Ark of the Covenant Information―
Description: An ancient treasure that holds the power of the primordial light. It was originally created by the constellations to preserve the relics so they would not lose their power.
Unique Power: Stacking
Special Note: If you place an item in the Ark for a certain period of time its attributes and abilities will be strengthened or a new skill will be granted. (Only one item can be placed at a time.)
Zeke was shocked when he read the description.
“Just putting it here will strengthen your abilities?”
Although it was already possible to strengthen items using the system it was not easy to obtain the necessary materials or meet the conditions.
Zig took out a suitable item from his inventory with anticipation.
“I wonder if this will work too.”
What he took out was the Eternal Ice Crystal that he had previously obtained by defeating the Nephilim the Snow Queen.
I had been keeping it because I didn’t know where to use it so it felt like a good time to test whether it could be strengthened with the Ark of the Covenant.
He opened the ark and put the everlasting ice crystal into it.
When the lid of the Ark was closed a mysterious light gently flowed from its surface.
[It takes about 3 hours to reinforce.]
After the message the progress of the reinforcement began to be displayed.
“Three hours. I’m excited to see how it will change.”
While he waited he decided to look into the system sharing capabilities with Scheherazade who was linked to him by the Chain of Oaths.
‘Show me system-related information.’
At Zeke’s command a list of related items appeared before his eyes.
―Sharing Settings―
1. Set up communication functions
2. System sharing settings
3. Set up inventory sharing
4. Set up shared security vault
Zig couldn’t help but be amazed when he saw the list of shared settings.
‘You can share not only the system itself but even the inventory and security vault right?’
Although he had made a pact of fidelity with Scheherazade it was still difficult to see them as a true alliance. Therefore sharing the system’s functions with her was very risky.
Zig first checked the communication function settings.
When I opened my inbox it was full of messages from Scheherazade.
Zeke shook his head as he deleted Scheherazade’s message.
‘I should probably not say anything about the fact that we can communicate with each other.’
Looking at the message function it was possible to send saved images and memory information and there was also a function to share one’s view with the other person.
Moreover since Zig was a system administrator he could also set the direction of communication.
It was possible to set it up so that I could send a message and the other person could only receive it.
Although this was possible with magic it consumed a lot of mana and had limited functionality compared to the system.
‘Let’s close the message function for now. If I need to communicate with the Sultan later I’ll have to change the settings again.’
As Zig was looking through the system sharing settings a message appeared before his eyes.
[Reinforcement completed.]
It was a message that the reinforcement of the eternal ice crystal placed in the Ark of the Covenant was complete.
Zeke approached the Ark and slowly opened the lid.
I felt a strong cold air emanating from inside.
Inside the Ark was a white bead the size of a fist.
It was originally a blue bead but it turned white after being strengthened by the power of the Ark.
Zig immediately checked the information on the strengthened Eternal Ice Crystal.
―Ice attribute elemental stone information―
Description: A perennial ice crystal that has been transformed and strengthened by the primordial light. A substance that is the crystallization of the pure elemental power of cold itself.
Unique Power: Absolute Zero.
Special Note: In order to handle elemental stones you must be able to control your elemental powers. Failure to do so may result in your powers going out of control.
Zeke read the description and focused on the part that said ‘a substance that is the essence of pure elemental power crystallized.’
“It is only possible to manipulate if you can control the elemental force.”
He held the elemental stone and tried to activate its elemental power.
Then a cold air burst out from inside.
Tsk tsk tsk―
In an instant the surrounding temperature dropped and the area around Ziggy began to freeze solid.
Zeke quickly gathered his energy.
“oh my god.”
I just raised my spirits for a moment and the room completely froze.
It was a cold that was incomparably stronger than when I used the power of freezing.
Zeke looked at the frozen floor and furniture in thought.
“Umm what should I do with this? I don’t think it’ll melt on its own if I just leave it alone.”
Zeke pondered and then took out the elemental stone again.
He carefully spread out his hydraulic field and adjusted the coldness of the elemental stone.
Tsk tsk tsk―
As the strong cold air was about to flow out again Zeke concentrated his mind and instead absorbed the cold air around him.
The cold air that was about to burst out changed direction according to Zeke’s will.
Accordingly the cold air that had frozen the room changed into white energy and flowed backwards into the elemental stone.
Tsk tsk tsk―
The room that had been completely frozen returned to its original state.
Zig opened his eyes with difficulty after withdrawing the hydraulic field.
“Whew elemental power is really hard to handle.”
The reason why the Elemental Sword which was the most powerful skill among Zeke’s was difficult to use was here.
Zeke looked satisfied at the sight of the powerful elemental stone and stored it in his inventory.
‘If I can emit this much cold air it could be useful in the war against the Demon King’s army.’
He recalled in his mind the ancient monsters and the demon giants trapped in the ice.
If you could freeze and seal large groups of monsters and demons with the power of absolute leadership it would be of great help in blocking the movements of the Demon King’s forces on the battlefield.
Thinking about how to use it in the future Zeke put in the elemental stone and examined his newly acquired power. Then he tried the power ‘Amplification’ which had a strengthened wide-area buff.
Wooooowoong―
Its basic role seemed to be similar to a wide-area buff that strengthens the power and abilities of skills.
But as he unleashed his power something began to rumble inside Zeke’s arms.
‘what?’
When I took out the thing vibrating inside my clothes I realized it was the hand mirror that the hermit in the story had given me.
As soon as Zeke took out his hand mirror the hermit in the story on the other side suddenly shouted.
―“Ugh! Finally connected! Zeke! Where are you now! Get here quickly!”
He shouted in an urgent voice.
―“Nigel got caught by them!”
