A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 476



Episode 476

Zeke flinched at Bacchus’ words and put down the teacup he was holding.

He looked at Bacchus and said:

“Arthur Draker is dead? The strongest king on the continent?”

Bacchus nodded.

“I didn’t believe it at first either… but I guess it seems right.”

Zeke’s mind was spinning with complicated thoughts.

The death of Arthur Draker.

It was something that had happened in my past life but it came to me as a shock all over again.

Zeke asked Bacchus.

“What is the sign?”

“It was a natural death due to a chronic illness. They said he had been sick for quite some time.”

Just because he was a black knight doesn’t mean he couldn’t get sick.

There were also frequent cases of death due to old age and chronic illness.

However Arthur Draker was relatively young among the Black Knights and was usually very active outside so it was not thought that he had a chronic illness.

Zeke listened to Bacchus’ words and fell into thought again.

‘In his previous life Arthur Draker died of a chronic illness. And when Abel took the position of head of the family the Continental War began.’

After Arthur Draker’s death the Central Continent fell into great chaos.

Thinking back to that time Zeke built a new family.

‘What if Arthur Draker was trying to use his own death to cause chaos in the Central Continent?’

Just like in the previous life the repercussions that would occur if the Drake family head died were enormous.

First of all there would be great chaos within Draker and the situation in Midland as well as the entire Central Continent would change.

Zeke opened his mouth again looking at Bacchus.

“What’s the situation inside the Draker family?”

“We haven’t yet been able to accurately determine the information inside the Four Seasons. However one thing has clearly emerged.”

He paused and then opened his mouth again.

“Baron Draker of the Dark Stage. Something is revolving around him.”

Baron Draker was Arthur Draker’s most loyal confidant.

After hearing that Zeke became increasingly suspicious.

‘Arthur Draker faked his death and the Baron controlled the resulting ripples.’

It seemed like there was some purpose but I thought I would have to go into the Four Seasons to find out for sure.

“Do you know what Sister Carly and Sister Helen are doing?”

“Both are staying in Jason’s domain. They haven’t shown any particular movements but it seems that some elders are trying to contact them.”

With the position of the head of the family vacant there was a need to nominate a successor.

It was only natural that the elders would approach Carly Draker who was a candidate for the House of Lords.

‘I guess I’ll hear from you soon.’

Zik thought he should go to Sagyeseong as soon as he finished his work here.

As the conversation with Bacchus was almost over Niki entered the central barracks.

She abandoned her previous languid attitude and knelt in a reserved posture speaking to Zeke.

“Your Majesty I have something to tell you.”

“Tell me.”

“I captured some suspicious individuals who broke into the headquarters a while ago and I thought it would be good for Your Majesty to take a look at them so I brought them in.”

“Suspicious ones. Understood. Let them in.”

She nodded and whistled.

Then Niki’s men dragged the chained men into the barracks.

Niki said with a cold expression.

“You are before the king. Bow your head immediately.”

Zeke looked at the people Niki had brought.

‘Huh? Those guys.’

Surprisingly those who were dragged in were the Samjian clan.

All four of them had weak bloodshot eyes but the one who looked the youngest among them had eyes that could be called bloodshot.

Nikki made them kneel and spoke with a cold look in his eyes.

“These guys suddenly appeared in front of the headquarters and started a commotion demanding that we obey them without warning. Although they were weak they gave off an ominous aura so I brought them here to show them to the King.”

Zeke heard Niki’s words and understood what was going on.

Tantra’s successors such as Titus appeared in the Central Continent to regain the power of the Blood King who had reappeared.

He planned to increase his power by subjugating the Baekmyeon Tribe and the Beast Tribe who were his former subordinates and the Mongma Tribe and regain the power of the Blood King.

‘You were trying to subjugate the Red Eye vampires but you were caught instead.’

It was a mistake to mess with the clan of Jinjo who had become a royal vampire without being able to properly use the power of his bloodshot eyes.

Zig slowly approached the Samjian clan.

Like Titus and Juliana she had red hair and white skin but the tattoos on her face and body were different.

It seemed that the shapes that could be engraved varied depending on the family.

The child in the front looked to be about the same age as Titus.

Although he tried hard to look calm he trembled slightly when he felt the Blood King’s energy emanating from Zeke.

Zeke looked at them and thought about it then said to Niki.

“Go and ask the Western Alliance if there are any guys like them.”

Niki immediately bowed his head to Zeke’s words and went out of the barracks.

And when they came back in a little while later a group of Samjian clan members came in with them their faces bruised and their clothes in tatters.

As expected it seems that he was captured after being defeated while trying to subjugate the Western Alliance forces made up of Suin.

The successors of Samjian who were captured by Red Eye and the Western Alliance and were kneeling before Zeke recognized each other and shared gloomy expressions.

Zeke looked down at them and summoned the power of the Blood King.

Tsk tsk tsk―

A third eye appeared on his forehead and a red aura began to swirl around.

Unlike Caligula who was an evil tyrant Zeke’s third eye glowed with a mysterious red light rather than an evil energy.

The successors of Samjian trembled when they saw this.

Zeke told them.

“You keep your head up stiffly even when facing the true king.”

The successors of Samjian felt that Zig’s eyes were piercing through everything they did.

They belatedly bowed their heads and buried them in the ground in an undeniable sense of fear and soaring awe.

“I have met the true king!”

A dozen or so Samjian clan members showed their submission to Zigg who had unleashed the power of the Blood King.

Zeke asked the heir of the family who seemed to be the highest in status among them.

“How did you get from Tantra to here?”

The successor barely managed to open his mouth suppressing his fear at his question.

“The magicians and tantric sorcerers who came to us joined forces to create a door made of mandala.”

Zeke looked surprised at his successor’s words.

“Does this mean that the gate connecting here and beyond the Ten Thousand Year Mountain Range was made into a Tantric mandala?”

The successor nodded.

“Yes that’s right. Since the mandala has the effects of amplification and continuation it can be used in various ways as long as magic power is supplied. However… the more power you handle the more complex the mandala needs to be drawn so it takes a lot of time. You also need holy blood level magicians to activate it….”

As he listened to the successor’s explanation of everything he knew Zeke was reminded of the mandala Yulina had drawn on the floor.

Although it was much more elaborate and complex than the magic circle of the Central Continent it was a barrier strong enough to confine Morgant a mid-level demon.

‘If we can use it properly there are many places where we can use it.’

Since it takes a long time to produce it would be difficult to apply it to the battlefield right away but it seemed like it could be useful when building defensive lines and fortifications.

After thinking for a while Zeke decided to take the Samjian clan to Mycenae where Hades was.

Hades who inherited the Book of Hyperion seemed to be able to create something more by applying their mandalas.

Zeke said to Niki.

“Heal them and give them a place to stay.”

“Understood Your Majesty.”

He decided to leave the Samjian clan in the central barracks for now and move to the tree house where Nigel was.

After checking on Nigel’s condition I returned to the Four Seasons to find out what was going on.

Zeke used the system portal to quickly travel to Nigel’s treehouse.

As I entered the tree house I was surprised to see the purple-haired triplets playing in the air with Yulina in the front yard.

‘It looks like the teacher has cured the children.’

As I was watching with a happy heart the children who had been playing happily looked frightened when they saw Zig.

They seemed so surprised that they dropped the marbles they were holding without realizing it.

Zeke saw the children looking scared at him and came up with an idea to reassure them.

“Raven.”

As Zeke called Raven with her gorgeous feathers appeared from Zeke’s shoulder with a phoenix-like appearance.

Woorururu―

Raven’s Phoenix Castle which holds a mysterious aura calmed the triplets.

The children looked at the beautiful phoenix in wonder.

Raven fluttered her wings in triumph as she received the gazes of those children.

As Raven spread her wings and flew into the sky the children happily followed her.

“Pretty bird!”

“Let’s play together!”

“Come here!”

Zeke looked satisfied as he watched the triplets and Yulina running around with Raven and playing again.

At that moment the door to the wooden house opened and a woman with a tired face came out.

“Are you here?”

Zeke approached Nabu and said with a smile.

“Your Majesty’s face is beyond words.”

“Ugh I stayed up all night with Manna fixing the broken barrier here and there.”

“Thank you for your hard work. How are you Master?”

“He said he woke up earlier and was going to take a walk.”

“I’m glad you’re safe.”

Zeke nodded and asked Nabu.

“What about Anastasia?”

Nabu pointed toward the warehouse as if telling me to look for myself.

Zig opened the warehouse door and went in.

But there was nothing inside.

“Anastasia.”

When he called my name two glowing eyes appeared in the darkness.

Then something suddenly rushed towards Zeke.

Kaaa …

Zeke quickly turned to the side and grabbed the scruff of the neck of something that was rushing toward him.

Surprisingly what Zeke was holding in his hand was a ferocious-looking cat.

The cat was struggling while being held by Zeke.

He said looking at the cat.

“Do you like your new body?”

At Zeke’s words the cat made a furious expression and hissed.

But even so it only seemed like a cat’s trick.

This ordinary-looking cat was actually Anastasia a princess of the demon world.

Zeke made a deal with Anastasia which gave him ownership of her soul.

In order to control Anastasia who could jump anywhere at any time he used the Blood King’s power to manipulate souls.

First he captured her soul with Solomon’s Chain then borrowed the power of the Blood King and Nabu to turn her into a cat.

Zeke who remembered the story of the princess who was turned into a cat by a curse turned Anastasia the princess of the demon world into a cat.

As Zeke snapped his fingers a buzzing sound was heard along with Anastasia’s words.

[Kwaaaaaah! You damn human! I’ll kill you! Get me out of this little thing right now!]

Anastasia was so loud that I had blocked her from speaking but as soon as I let her go she started screaming loudly again.

Zeke looked down at Anastasia with cold eyes and said.

“Then do you want to be sealed in the ring or disappear?”

Anastasia flinched at Zeke’s words and then slumped down.

And then I trembled inside thinking to myself I’m going to find a way to escape from here.

Zeke took Anastasia now a cat out of the warehouse and threw her on the floor.

Anastasia was thrown without any sincerity but landed gracefully with the cat’s characteristically nimble movements.

Zeke looked at her and said.

“You know why I kept you alive right?”

At those words Anastasia who had become a cat raised her tail and said.

[You’re probably trying to use me as bait to lure my sisters and father. You clever bastard.]

Anastasia was the adopted daughter of the Demon Master the Demon Duke.

Among the six demons that rule the Demon World the Demon Leader who is at the top was cooperating with Narak to resurrect the Demon King.

Zeke realized that in order for the phenomenal world to be free from the Demon King’s threat he had to deal with the Demon King and his followers.

That was why the Demon Duke was preparing a trap to lure them in while keeping his most beloved daughter Anastasia with him.

“As the beloved daughter of the Demon Archduke she will come to save you soon. Isn’t that right Anastasia?”

Anastasia said looking at such a Zig.

[Zeke Draker there’s something you don’t know.]

“What don’t I know?”

Anastasia in the form of a cat glared at Zeke with a sharp expression.

[The Demon World is currently in the midst of a fierce war.]
