A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 472



Episode 472

‘The Battle of the Constellations.’

In fact Zeke already knew about the chess of the Demon World when Anastasia made the bet.

Demons who use psychic abilities use various tricks and mental powers to take territory away from powerful rivals.

Zeke wasn’t naive enough to think that Anastasia the princess of the underworld and the adopted daughter of the demon archduke would really compete against him in chess something that even humans could do.

As soon as he heard that Anastasia would be competing in chess he immediately used the Akashic Code to learn about the chess of the demon world.

And Zeke discovered that this Demon World Chess was a game created by the constellations in the past reconstructed by the Demon Archduke.

The game they enjoyed called the ‘Battle of the Constellations’ was surprisingly a war of slaughter using real races from the phenomenal world.

The constellations of that time also influenced the development of cities and civilization and they showed off their power by strengthening the cities they owned and invading the cities of other constellations.

As a result the more powerful the cities and armies the more dominance one could gain among the constellations.

The Demon Archduke created the Demon World Chess based on the old game battle system.

Unlike regular chess it required a production process because it was created based on the game of constellations that developed civilization and strengthened the corresponding faction.

The surprising thing was that there was a possible connection between the Kabbalah system that Zeke had and this constellation game battle.

‘If we can link up with the system we have a good chance of winning. We can even detect in advance when that demon uses tricks.’

When Zeke learned of this fact he boldly accepted Anastasia’s bet.

Zeke looked up and spoke to Anastasia.

“Ready.”

Anastasia smiled faintly at those words.

“Okay then let’s do it. Let the game begin!”

As she snapped her fingers the scenery around her changed.

Kookung!

Zeke’s body floated into the air and his human camp appeared beneath his feet.

It seemed like a way to directly enter the chessboard and take control.

‘How strange.’

Zeke personally moved the horses in his camp.

The horses moved quickly according to Zeke’s instructions but controlling them one by one was not easy.

It was difficult to control many things at once because when one piece was moved the others remained still.

There were so many detailed commands and choices available that I had no idea what to do.

‘You’re betting on something like this? You have no conscience.’

Zeke cursed Anastasia and connected the game battle and the Kabbalah system as planned.

[Connect the system.]

[Works with Defense Mode.]

[The personnel and production buildings owned by the manager are displayed on the screen.]

Since Zigg had been working with the Kabbalah system for a long time he was able to quickly adapt when it was linked to the defense mode.

Zeke gave orders to the system.

“Connect this Yu-Gi-Oh battle with the Akashic Code and find past Yu-Gi-Oh battle entries through karma data and give me the most appropriate guide.”

The fact that Anastasia had decided to wager this proxy war was a testament to her confidence.

Even if the systems were linked it would be difficult for Zigg who had never fought a proxy war before to defeat her.

That’s why Zig decided to actively utilize the system and past karma data.

[We have reviewed the relevant records and extracted data.]

[A certain amount of karma points will be consumed for application and guidance presentation. Would you like to use them?]

Since he had accumulated quite a bit of Karma Points after the large-scale battle Zeke boldly spent his points and received Karma data.

Tsk tsk tsk―

Past battle data has begun to be updated.

Zig spoke to the system.

“Okay system. Automatically proceed with proxy war based on the guide.”

[Switch to automatic mode.]

[We conduct proxy wars by predicting the optimal results based on past data.]

As soon as the switch to automatic mode was made the still horses began to move.

The workers went to the production building and started producing resources while the scouts explored the surrounding area on their own expanding the area of ​​vision that Zeke could see.

The horses moved automatically and after some time it became apparent that Zig’s side had made some progress.

If Zeke had been in direct control it would never have been possible to proceed at this speed.

A message appeared before Zeke’s eyes as he was checking the progress.

[Summoning a hero is possible by completing the Summoning Hall.]

[Which hero would you like to summon as your commander?]

Then several heroes appeared before Zeke.

While looking at heroes of various classes such as knights magicians archers and summoners an unexpected person caught Zeke’s eye.

Zeke read the description of the hero carefully.

-Saint George the Knight-

A hero who killed the evil ancient god Darkness with the holy sword Ascalon.

The holy sword Ascalon has once again appeared in this world as a new divine being thanks to the power of the great sage.

In the past civilizations there existed a knight who used the prototype of the Holy Sword of Ascalon as his weapon as a horse in this battle.

At that moment something flashed through Zeke’s mind.

‘Could it be that these words… were recreated using karma data from a lost civilization?’

Come to think of it it seems to be a similar principle to how the past was recreated using karma data in the Inverted Tower.

Zeke looked at the floating Sir St. George.

“Okay. Let’s give them a shot Sir George.”

When he chose Sir Saint George a knight holding the holy sword Ascalon appeared in the summoning booth along with a bright light.

Since the system would take care of everything else anyway there was nothing for Zig to do.

He stepped forward linking himself specifically with Sir George.

“Now let’s go and cut off those monsters’ heads.”

* * *

Kwah! Kwah! Kwah!

Black smoke billowed out from Anastasia’s camp and a loud noise spread in all directions.

She used the Orc race to quickly build production buildings and strengthen her combat units.

In fact there was something she didn’t tell Zeke: the race most advantageous to this proxy war was none other than the Orcs.

This is because they are a race that is strong from the beginning and has good productivity like humans so they are well-balanced from the beginning to the middle and late stages.

When Anastasia played against the Orc race her win rate was a whopping 95%.

In addition to choosing the well-balanced Orc race her unique ability was quite advantageous in Demon World Chess.

Tsk tsk tsk―

When Anastasia used her power the horses moved in unison on their own.

Her unique ability is ‘Puppetry’ which allows her to capture the mind of a target and turn them into a living doll which she can then control and manipulate at will.

As a result moving the chess pieces without any need to subdue the spirit in the first place was very easy for Anastasia.

Unlike other administrators Anastasia was able to freely control the horses so there were few people in the Demon World who could beat her in Demon World chess.

‘There is no way a human could defeat me.’

As the Orcish Iron Legion was created Anastasia divided the units and moved them from the citadel to other camps along with her workers.

This was because before going to Jik’s Citadel it was necessary to first occupy the fortress that would serve as a strategic point in order to have an advantageous mid-game battle.

‘He probably doesn’t know how to do this and is just stumbling around. But it’s also fun to thoroughly trample on him.’

Anastasia levitated into the air and led her army of orcs towards an empty fortress to the northeast.

Any neutral territory that is still empty can be occupied by the side that enters and occupies it first.

Early on quickly taking over these strategic points was one of the main strategies of proxy warfare.

It was when Anastasia’s Orc army reached the fortress in the neutral zone.

Shh …

To my surprise an arrow flew from the fortress.

Pubber pubber pubber―

The workers behind them were killed by an arrow that suddenly flew in.

Anastasia was shocked to see this.

“What what!”

Surprised she sent a scout toward the fortress to secure the view.

Surprisingly the fortress had a red flag planted indicating Zeke’s camp.

Anastasia screamed in horror.

“What the hell! You’ve already expanded your territory to this point?”

It was quite a distance from Zig’s citadel to this fortress.

So Anastasia set up her first intermediate base here and planned to expand her second and third bases to threaten Zeke’s fortress once the mid-game was over but unexpectedly Zeke’s soldiers took over this place first.

Then an arrow flew from afar and killed Anastasia’s scout in one blow.

As the view became blocked again the fortress was obscured by a black curtain.

Anastasia gauged the pace of progress on the human side by observing the strength and range of the arrows.

‘At that level the second long-range weapon enhancement has been completed. It has already progressed to that level?’

Anastasia couldn’t help but be astonished at the speed at which the Orc race was progressing faster than her own.

They still did not have enough troops to breach the strong fortress and invade it.

Then something occurred to Anastasia.

‘I wonder if this guy doesn’t know how to fight a proxy war so he emptied his own fortress and brought all his troops to this fortress.’

It was a mistake that beginners in proxy warfare often make.

Anastasia changed her plans and decided to advance straight towards the citadel.

If the citadel was empty as she had expected it would be possible to conquer it with just the current Orc army.

She led a newly produced unit of ranged Orc spearmen and an Orc steel corps towards Zigg’s citadel.

If they lost troops here their own camp would be empty but Anastasia was sure that would not happen.

Following Anastasia’s guidance the Orc force circled around the fortress crossed the hills and arrived at the plains.

Beyond this plain there is a fortress where Jik’s main base is located.

Anastasia ordered the Orc commander Blood-Soaked Steel Axe to cross the plains.

The Orc army was about halfway across the plains.

I saw something in the distance.

Doo doo doo doo doo―

A fully armed cavalry formation accompanied by a huge cloud of dust was charging towards the Orc legion.

Anastasia was shocked when she saw that sight and her thoughts stopped for a moment.

“uh?”

In the plains the cavalry of the human race shows its greatest power.

And the conditions for making them were just as difficult. But hundreds of cavalrymen were galloping across the plains carrying long spears in front.

Anastasia who had been dazed for a moment quickly gave orders to the orcs.

“Bar shield! Raise your shield!”

The Orc Steel Legion had a strong defense.

As they crouched and raised their sturdy rough shields it seemed as if a huge wall had been created.

But then the commander at the very front raised his sword and gave some order to the knights.

Suddenly the mounted knights split in two and charged towards the flanks of the shield-wielding Orc legion.

Kwakwakwakwang!

When the knights charged from the side instead of the front the Orc army was swept away without being able to properly defend itself.

He was beaten by spears trampled by horse hooves and beheaded by swords.

Among them the performance of the commander holding the holy sword was particularly outstanding.

The level of the commander in question was one that could not be achieved at the beginning of the game.

It was impossible to do so unless you gave up all production control and only moved the commanders to level up.

‘Crazy how could this happen…’

Before we knew it the Orc army that Anastasia had brought had been annihilated.

After the knights had defeated all the orcs they returned to their base across the plains.

Doo doo doo doo doo―

Anastasia looked blank as she watched the knights disappear like a whirlwind.

‘Am I dreaming right now?’

Even when I played in the proxy tournament in the Demon World I never felt pushed back like this from the beginning.

Anastasia gritted her teeth and glared at Zeke’s castle which was hidden behind a curtain.

‘I tried not to use this…’

An extraordinary power arose from her body.

For a moment her eyes turned white.

As the curtains that had been covering the area were lifted the situation in every area where the game was taking place was clearly visible.

Anastasia who was observing the situation like that couldn’t help but be surprised.

‘crazy….’

Zig’s citadel was twice as tall and heavily reinforced and red flags were already planted at strategic points around it.

Moreover the words of Zeke’s camp were moving much more in unison than those of Anastasia who was controlled by the power of the puppet.

‘How is such movement possible? If the words don’t move on their own….’

While spying on Zeke’s camp with such a confused mind something caught Anastasia’s eye.

Kookung!

Hundreds of knights and wizard siege weapons appeared right in front of Anastasia’s citadel.
