A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 477



Episode 477

‘It’s a war in the demon world.’

Actually I had heard some stories about the Demon World from Arataso so I had expected this situation.

On the surface the six great demons including the Demon King ruled over the entire Demon World but it was said that fierce territorial disputes broke out among their subordinates the Demon Tribe every single day.

What was surprising was that the territorial disputes occurred not only between clans of different affiliations but also between clans that worshipped the same devil.

The fact that the Demon King created a proxy war called Demon World Chess based on the playful battles of the constellations in order to preserve his power shows that the conflict is so fierce that it cannot be compared to the battles between humans.

Anastasia looked at Zeke and continued speaking.

[The Demon Realm is currently divided into four major regions. To the south is Abaddon to the north is Gehenna to the east is the Abyss and to the west is Pandemonium where my father the Demon Archduke resides.]

Since he had never heard much about the realm of the demon world Zeke listened to Anastasia’s words.

“Are you saying that the demons who rule your realm are fighting?”

[Yes on the surface it is pretended not to be but there is a fierce battle being fought to exert greater influence on the phenomenal world.]

When Zeke heard Anastasia’s words one thing came to mind.

“Hmm? If that’s true then as the Demon Archduke I guess he wouldn’t care much if you Anastasia were captured in the phenomenal world. He’d have to keep the other demons in check.”

Anastasia flinched slightly at Zeke’s words.

In fact that was exactly what she was worried about.

Zeke said looking at Anastasia.

“What do you think Demon Princess? Do you think the Demon Prince will come to the mortal world for you?”

Anastasia couldn’t easily answer Zeke’s words.

The main body of the Demon Chapter which had the strongest power among the fallen constellations could not come directly to the phenomenal world.

It was a situation where only the level of intervention was possible sending an incarnation to the phenomenal world to lend power but given Zig’s past actions if he made a mistake the main body of the demon world could suffer a blow so it was not an easy decision to make.

As Anastasia failed to answer properly Zeke’s gaze grew colder.

“If this happens the contract will lose its meaning.”

Zeke planned to use Anastasia as bait to lure the Demon King.

But if Anastasia wasn’t valuable as a hostage there was no need to keep her.

Anastasia waved her front paw in confusion at Zeke’s words.

[Even if Father cannot come in person he will send my sisters to save me!]

Zeke looked incredulous at Anastasia’s words.

“I heard from other demons that you sisters aren’t that close. Rather aren’t you competing with each other to look good to the Demon Prince? If it’s the Demon Prince who cares for you then that’s fine but what about the other sisters?”

Anastasia gritted her teeth at Zeke’s words.

[Crack. That’s true. But those X-years-olds will definitely come not to save me but to laugh at me and take over my territory.]

It wasn’t that she was coming out of sisterly love but she was coming for some reason.

Zeke was slightly troubled after hearing Anastasia’s words.

Seeing that Anastasia who had the appearance of a cat flailed her front paws in confusion.

[The contract has already been made so it cannot be broken! My sisters will definitely come! If you keep them like me then eventually Father will have no choice but to show himself!]

Anastasia was the one who sold not only her sisters but also her father the demon archduke to survive.

It was a truly demonic appearance.

Then a cold voice was heard from behind.

“I really hope so.”

Anastasia’s hair stood on end and she jumped up towards Zeke in surprise at the voice that was full of life.

Kaaaaang!

Anastasia who suddenly found herself hanging on Zeke’s shoulder appeared from behind and looked at him trembling with fear.

thud!

Nigel who had placed the head of the giant demon on the ground glared at Anastasia who had turned into a cat and said.

“Tell your father and sisters to please come up to the phenomenal world.”

Thud thud!

Nigel was gnashing his teeth.

“I’ll chew it all up as soon as it comes.”

Nigel spoke with a warning his voice full of murderous intent.

Although she didn’t say it out loud it seemed like she was still burning with anger at Anastasia for making her wear a dress while she was sleeping.

Anastasia who had received High Table’s wrath with her whole body trembled and dug into Zeke’s arms.

[I’m trying to kill myself!]

At those words Zeke shook his head.

“No you won’t kill me since you made a contract with me. You can skin me alive and dry me in the sun though.”

Anastasia’s face turned pale at Zeke’s words.

Nigel glared at Anastasia in Zeke’s arms with a disgruntled expression.

Then he quickly approached Zeke grabbed Anastasia by the scruff of her neck and threw her to the floor.

Anastasia landed on the floor momentarily forgetting her fear and shouting at Nigel.

[What are you doing!]

“Don’t let me see you you’re unlucky. Before I peel you off.”

Nigel glared at Anastasia with an annoyed expression and only then did Anastasia feel fear again and slowly move away. Nigel who was watching sighed and gestured to Zeke.

“Come in. I have something to say.”

Zeke followed Nigel into the tree house.

When I went inside I saw Nabu lying down on the armchair dozing off.

Nigel saw this and kicked the chair with his foot.

“What what?”

Nigel glared at Nabu who was floundering around with a pitiful expression.

When she motioned for him to come out Nabu grumbled and got up from his chair.

Nigel who had taken the armchair looked at Zeke and said.

“I met Nabu and had a chat.”

“What are you talking about?”

At Zeke’s words Nigel nodded to Nabu.

Nabu opened his mouth again grumbling at Nigel’s attitude that seemed to suggest that he explain himself.

“About what to do with the black star.”

At those words Zeke furrowed his brows.

“If it’s the heart of the Elder Dragon there’s a chance that the demons will continue to target it. We should strengthen the seal and border here…”

Nabu shook his head at Zeke’s words.

“No that’s not it. I’ve talked to the chief too… I think there are limits to keeping the Black Star here.”

Zeek asked in surprise at Nabu’s words.

“So are you saying that you will move the black star to another place?”

At Zeke’s words Nigel who was sitting in the armchair jumped up.

Then he walked up to Zeke stared intently at his face and then clicked his tongue.

“I don’t know what the chief is thinking. He told me to give you the black star.”

Zeke’s face became bewildered at Nigel’s words.

“Are you talking to me?”

Nabu nodded stroking his chin.

“Well if the chief said that there must be a reason.”

After listening to the two people’s words Zeke hesitated and then opened his mouth.

“If I take the black star what will happen to this forest?”

Nigel answered Zeke’s question.

“No one knows. The forest itself has been under the influence of the Black Star for a long time and has come to hold unpredictable mysteries…”

Nigel continued slowly.

“You can think about the forest later. What’s important is protecting the Black Star. Since you’ve completely absorbed Bahamut’s heart you should be able to embrace the Black Star as well.”

Zeke was surprised by Nigel’s words.

“Are you telling me to absorb a piece of the heart of the Black Star or Elder Dragon?”

“Yes. In the current situation I think that is the safest way to protect Black Star.”

Zeke listened to Nigel’s words and thought deeply.

Something crossed his mind then.

‘A black star that holds the power of the Elder Dragon. If you absorb it you may be able to jump over walls and advance to the next realm.’

It was clear that the battle would be easier if they could use the power of the Elder Dragon when dealing with the hordes of the Abyss and the demons who used the power of the devil.

Zeke nodded and said.

“Okay I will accept the black star.”

“Okay. Now that it’s been decided there’s no need to waste time.”

Nigel reached out and placed his palm against his mid-game.

“What are you doing Master?”

“What do you think you’re doing? You’re trying to hand over the Black Star.”

“Yes? Right now?”

Wooooow!

A huge vibration occurred in Nigel’s body.

Zeke unconsciously frowned at the vibrations transmitted through Nigel’s hand to the intermission.

‘Ugh….’

It felt similar to when the first intermission was opened.

For the first time in a long time I felt a tingling sensation in the muscles all over my body.

Nigel who had checked Zeke’s pre-emptive strike by causing a vibration opened his other hand.

Tsk tsk tsk―

A magic circle appeared on her palm.

Then a part of the black ore appeared above the magic circle.

Wooooow!

Zeke could feel that the black ore that appeared through the magic circle was the broken heart of the elder dragon.

The energy of the elder dragon that I felt in Carcosa was flowing out of the black ore.

‘It’s just a part of the heart but it holds this much power.’

Bahamut’s heart was a power that humans could not even imagine but the Elder Dragon’s heart was on a different level.

Nigel said as he looked at Zeke while holding the black ore.

“Putting the heart of an elder dragon into a human… Even I think it’s just crazy.”

At those words Nabu shook his head.

“Zeke that guy has already surpassed the level of a normal human. He’s probably stronger than dragons.”

Nigel did not deny Naboo’s words.

If there was one being in the phenomenal world who could absorb a black star it was Zeke.

She decided to believe in Zeke’s strong will and specialness.

“Clench your teeth.”

Wooooow!

The vibrations sweeping through Zeke’s body grew stronger.

Zeke endured the pain that felt like his body was going to turn to dust and tried to accept Nigel’s energy.

Then a complex pattern appeared glowing over Zeke’s chest.

Woohoo!

Nigel brought the black star he was holding to Zeke’s chest.

Jiji …

The black star emitted a black electric current as it touched the sentence floating on Zeke’s chest.

Nigel forced the black star into the sentence ignoring the black currents shooting out in all directions.

“Eww!”

Then an even stronger black current enveloped Zig’s body.

He clenched his teeth so hard that his molars almost broke.

Even though I was using the healing factor an unimaginable pain tore through my entire body.

Cold sweat also formed on Nigel’s forehead as he pushed in the black star.

On the surface it seemed like she was forcing it in but through careful calculation and careful control of her strength she was stabilizing the black star before Zigg’s stop.

Woooo …

It was when the black star was more than halfway into the sentence.

A message appeared before Zeke’s eyes.

[Unidentified seal stone detected.]

[Unidentified Seal Stone reacts to those who have received the title Blessing of the Ancient Dragon.]

[The power of the powerful dragon sleeping within the sealing stone awakens the administrator’s potential.]

[If you accept this seal stone your body’s mana capacity will exceed its limit.]

[If you continue to absorb there is a possibility that the manager’s soul will be greatly damaged.]

Zig focused on the word ‘potential’ that appeared in the message window.

‘I will endure and definitely jump over the wall.’

Zeke endured the pain and accepted the black star.

Tsk tsk tsk―

Nigel was still carefully pushing the black star into Zeke’s midsection with all his might.

Kookookookook―

The black star that had been slowly entering was soon absorbed into Zeke’s body.

Nigel stepped back sweating profusely. Now it was up to Zeke.

She gritted her teeth and looked at Zeke.

But Zeke didn’t respond at all.

“Zeke it’s okay…”

Then something unexpected happened.

“Cough!”

Before Nigel could finish speaking Zeke collapsed with black blood spilling from his mouth.

He lay on the floor twisting his body this way and that in agony.

“Euuuuuuu!”

Black veins spread from his chest and bulged all over his body.

“Kuaaaah!”

Zig screamed then his head dropped. Then he didn’t move at all.

A surprised Nigel approached Zeke and squeezed his chest.

But Zeke’s breathing did not return.

Nigel shook Zeke with a pale face and shouted.

“Zeke… wake up. I said wake up!”

Zig who collapsed with black blood flowing out was unable to get up still breathing.

Zeke Draker met with such an unexpected death.
