A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 481



Episode 481

Phew!

The sound of the sword cutting through the air echoed throughout the training grounds.

“Chahaaaaat!”

A woman stomping her feet and swinging her sword forward.

The entire atmosphere shook with the immense power emanating from her seemingly slender body.

“Hoooooo.”

The woman who was holding her sword and taking a deep breath was none other than Kali Draker Draker’s guardian knight and direct pureblood.

Kali Draker looked at the silver sword with complicated eyes as if something was bothering her.

Just then she picked up her sword again and was about to swing it.

Clap clap clap.

When suddenly a clap was heard from behind Carly turned around in surprise.

She was startled to see an unexpected figure standing behind her.

“Zeke?”

Her youngest brother had shown up at her castle in Jason without any notice. For a moment Kali could not believe the whole situation.

Zeke approached Carly who looked a bit dazed.

“How have you been sister?”

He hugged Carly happily.

Zeke said grabbing Carly’s shoulder.

“I heard news about your father.”

Carly’s face darkened at Zeke’s words.

Everything Arthur Draker had done to maintain the Draker family’s power was reprehensible but I never wished for his death or thought he would go down this path so vainly.

Carly who had complicated feelings about Arthur Draker’s death didn’t know how to respond to Zeke’s words.

Then Zeke said to Carly.

“Do you really think that Arthur Draker died of illness?”

Carly looked up in surprise at Zeke’s words.

“Are you saying… that my father is not dead?”

Zeke nodded at her words.

“I don’t know yet. But I think the Arthur Draker I know would never die suddenly from an illness like this.”

Carly took Zeke’s words differently.

‘It seems Zeke also can’t believe his father’s death.’

It was understandable that Arthur Draker would react this way as he was stronger than anyone else.

Carly looked up again and spoke to Zeke.

“Let’s think about father later. Let’s go and have dinner first. Helen will be very happy to know you’re here.”

Zeke shook his head at those words.

“Sister I must make sure that no one knows that I came here.”

“Huh? What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

Zeke said looking at Carly with a serious face.

“Is there a place with strict security that no one else can enter?”

Carly thought deeply about Zeke’s words and then nodded.

“If there is a memorial hall on the top floor of a tower no one can enter.”

“Then that would be good. Take Sister Helen and come to the memorial hall. No one else is allowed in under any circumstances.”

As soon as he finished saying those words Zeke’s body suddenly became blurry and soon disappeared without a trace.

Carly blinked a few times at the spot where Zeke had been.

‘Zeke… I wasn’t having an illusion was I?’

Then a voice rang in Carly’s ear.

-You have to move quickly Sister. There’s no time.

Kali who received Zeke’s telepathy quickly left the training ground and moved.

Carly took Helen up to the memorial hall.

The memorial hall was a space to honor Kali’s mother Tali Prana.

Since it was Kali’s personal space it was a place where no one could approach without permission so it was the perfect place to secretly meet.

As Carly and Helen entered Zeke appeared in the empty space.

“Zeke!”

Helen ran towards Zeke as he appeared and hugged him.

He felt comforted for a moment by the warm embrace of his kin whom he had not felt in a long time.

Zeke said looking at Helen.

“How have you been sister?”

Outside she was known as a renowned steel knight but in front of Zeke she was just an ordinary older sister who was a fool to her younger brother.

He sat down at a table in the memorial hall and served tea to Carly and Helen as he spoke.

“The council of elders including Howard Draker has appointed me as commander-in-chief and ordered the occupation of Jupiter.”

Carly was surprised to hear Zeke’s words and asked.

“Jupiter? That place is guarded by Siemens and Castro Pollock so it won’t be an easy place to penetrate.”

Zeke nodded.

“They are proceeding knowing that. They are doing it to create an excuse to send me out of the Four Seasons.”

Carly heard Zeke’s words and realized how things were going.

“…So you’re trying to put me in the lead instead of you Zeke.”

“Yes Rep. Howard Draker is leading the charge.”

Carly understood the situation at the Council.

‘If Zeke who has already achieved the realm of the Black Knight becomes the head of the household there must have been anxiety that a new overlord who surpasses Arthur Draker might be born.’

Kali wasn’t an easy opponent but she probably thought it was better than dealing with Zeke.

Carly looked at Zeke and said.

“There is no need to follow such a forced decision from the Council of Elders. You should be the next head of the family Zeke.”

She had already decided to yield the position of head of the household to Zeke.

Arthur Draker led the Draker family to become the strongest on the continent but he did too many wrong things along the way.

It was hoped that if Zeke became the head of the household he would be able to right the wrongs that Arthur Draker had committed in the past.

But then Zeke shook his head.

“The next generation is not me.”

He said looking into Kali’s eyes.

“You have to be the older sister who takes care of the house.”

Both Carly and Helen were surprised by Zeke’s words.

Carly said in a trembling voice.

“What are you talking about Zeke?”

“If I become the head of the family I will become the second Arthur Draker and only move the Draker family with fear. After you become the head of the family please create a new Draker family. I will support you from behind.”

A new Drake who is not synonymous with fear.

Zeke thought that it was Kali not him who could create such a Draker family.

There was another intention involved as well.

‘I can’t move properly if I’m tied to my family while the hellish bastards are trying to resurrect the Demon King.’

In order to counter the Abyss which constantly summons new demons to revive the Demon King the power of the Draker family had to be used but it had to be untied.

Zeke intended to entrust Kali with running the family and ask her to provide the necessary military resources.

To do this the Draker clan needed to be reorganized and now was the perfect time with Arthur Draker’s death throwing the entire clan into disarray.

‘Arthur Draker may have faked his death. If so we must act quickly before he reappears.’

Howard was a quick-witted man so he shouldn’t have been given time to think deeply.

This was the reason why Zeke wanted to push things forward quickly.

Carly couldn’t help but be deeply troubled when she heard Zeke ask her to take charge of the household.

Soon she nodded slowly.

“If that is what you want then let it be so.”

She added as she said she would do so.

“However once the situation stabilizes I will hand over the position of the head of the family. At that time you Zeke will have to lead the Draker family as the head of the family.”

“Okay sis.”

Zeke answered that he would do so and turned his head towards Helen who was next to him.

“I also have a favor to ask of you Sister Helen.”

Helen nodded as if to say something.

Zeke looked at her intently and said.

“Please take my place as Commander-in-Chief of the Jupiter Army.”

Helen was surprised when Zeke asked her to take on the role of commander-in-chief.

“What are you talking about? I am not yet qualified to be Commander-in-Chief.”

“If Sister Kali becomes the head of the household Sister Helen can be granted the title of Guardian Knight. If Sister Helen makes a deal with the Council of Elders on the condition that she takes on the position of head of the household it is entirely possible.”

Carly nodded at those words.

“That doesn’t seem that difficult. But Zeke why on earth are you doing this? You’re giving us the position of both the head of the household and the commander-in-chief.”

Carly and Helen wondered what Zeke’s intentions were.

Zeke said looking at the two of them.

“I’m trying to catch the rats hiding in the family.”

At his words Carly and Helen’s eyes widened.

Carly looked at Zeke and said.

“Rat cub… Are you saying there is a spy in the Four Seasons? With whom?”

“I don’t know for sure. There is someone who uses Draker for personal gain. Howard Draker who leads the Council. He is a small-time person who only acts for his own gain wearing the guise of a war hero.”

Zeke’s eyes sharpened.

“Please help me Sister. I will set a trap to catch him.”

* * *

Howard Draker received a sudden call from Carly Draker and quickly entered the Four Seasons.

Kali Draker who had been trapped in Jason finally started to move.

Howard’s mind was spinning in confusion as he went to Carly’s office in the Four Seasons.

‘It seems that Carly’s mind is also getting anxious since Zeke Draker is moving.’

Howard a follower of power could not imagine that Zeke would give up his position as head of the household to Carly and join hands with her.

He opened the office door and went inside.

“Congressman Howard.”

Carly Draker stood up and greeted Howard.

“Thank you for coming in person.”

Howard smiled inwardly with satisfaction at Carly Draker’s polite treatment of him.

‘I was right. Kali Draker is definitely trying to get her place as head of the household through me and the Council.’

If Carly makes the first move it will be easier for Howard to take the lead.

He nodded at Carly pretending to be polite.

“King Kali contacted me so of course I had to come.”

Howard took his seat at the head table with Carly and soon the attendants brought out the tea.

“Please drink. I have prepared Ishtar’s precious tea for you sir.”

Howard flinched at Carly’s words.

“Ishtar’s Charani. I didn’t know that Lord Kali had contact with them as well.”

Carly smiled faintly at Howard’s words.

“At first I was able to establish contact with Ishtar through Zigg.”

Howard kept his mouth shut at Carly’s words.

Through the black stage it was known that Zeke and Ishtar had some kind of relationship.

However it was unexpected that Kali Draker not just Zeke also had some kind of relationship with Ishtar.

She said looking at Howard Draker.

“There is something I would like to discuss with you Congressman that is related to this…”

Carly hesitated for a moment then opened her mouth when Howard nodded.

“I received a response from Ishtar saying that if I become the head of the household they will formally pursue an alliance with Draker.”

Howard’s eyes shook violently.

‘Ishtar one of the Transcendent Houses allies with the Drakers?’

Ishtar one of the transcendent families that formed the axis of the continent was no different from the ruler of the south.

If Ishtar declared an alliance she could put pressure on Jupiter who had established himself in the southern region.

Above all if Kali Draker can bring about an alliance with Ishtar there will be enough justification to make her the head of the household instead of Zeke Draker.

Howard’s mind was spinning in confusion.

‘Ishtar chose Kali instead of Sieg Draker….’

Howard who was a seasoned politician spoke with a serious expression hiding his true feelings.

“An alliance with Ishtar… Those ruthless murderers are like a double-edged sword.”

He planned to make her rely on him by undermining Kali’s favorable conditions and mentioning that things could get complicated.

But after hearing Howard’s words Carly nodded as if she understood and said that there was nothing she could do.

“That’s true. If that’s what you think then I think it would be best to forget about the alliance with Ishtar.”

Howard was taken aback when Carly reacted differently than expected.

He cleared his throat once and then opened his mouth again.

“However if we can join hands with Ishtar in the current situation it will be of great help in keeping Siemens in check and it will also likely help Lord Kali ascend to the position of head of the household.”

First Howard took a step back.

After hearing his words Kali slowly nodded and said.

“I see. But even if we ally with Ishtar there is still one problem.”

“What is your problem Sir Kali?”

“Zeke Draker.”

She said looking at Howard with cold eyes.

“I have to get rid of that guy if I want to become the head of the household.”
