A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 486



Episode 486

A pure-blooded dragon slayer lineage blessed by Aura.

For researchers from the Nostra Family who study those with bloodline abilities this was the subject they most wanted to study.

The two wizards moved to the laboratory with anticipation carrying the blood they had extracted from Dool.

The performing wizards had already moved the chest containing Zeke’s body to the laboratory.

The chief wizard spoke to the senior wizard as soon as he arrived.

“Take out the body of the pureblooded dragon slayer.”

At those words the senior wizard opened the chest that had been enchanted with preservation magic and Zeke’s clone which had been crumpled inside appeared.

As the senior wizard gestured the acolytes waiting behind took out Zeke’s body and placed it on the examination table.

The chief wizard approached the experiment table and examined Zeke’s clone.

“It’s in good condition. It seems to have died recently. It’s good enough for various experiments.”

At that moment the senior wizard who was nearby looked at the chief wizard and said.

“But this article… isn’t it the famous article of salvation? I’m sure Howard will take care of it but I’m worried that there will be repercussions.”

At those words the chief wizard clicked his tongue and spoke to the senior wizard.

“If you are a true seeker of truth you must be free from the shackles of the world. You may not know it while you are alive but once you are dead and placed before us you are nothing more than a test subject. Do not be swayed by emotions such as fear as your mind and hands will become dull.”

At the chief wizard’s scolding the senior wizard closed his lips tightly and nodded.

The chief magician who had been examining the dead body of Zeke opened his mouth.

“I guess I should take a look inside before more time passes. I’ve been curious about the awakening of Draker’s pureblood and the formation of the lower abdomen. I see it as one of the bloodline abilities. What do you think?”

The senior wizard answered with a look of agreement on his face as if he were agreeing with the chief wizard’s words.

“I think so too. The magical power rejection reaction that only appears in purebloods can also be seen as a type of bloodline ability.”

The chief wizard nodded.

“Okay I guess we’ll have to see if we can extract that ability from this test subject. It would have been nice if we had brought him back alive but… that would be too greedy.”

They were preparing to dissect Zeke’s clone.

Wheeeeeeeeing!

A senior wizard stood in front holding a hacksaw that revolved around magic.

He spoke to the practicing magicians behind him.

“Take off that uniform and keep it safe. We’ll need to put it on the fake body when we send it later.”

It was as the performing wizards quickly approached Zeke’s body and tried to remove his uniform.

Tsk tsk tsk tsk―

Suddenly black smoke began to flow out of Zeke’s body.

“Huh huh?”

The practicing magicians enveloped in black smoke retreated then rolled their eyes and collapsed.

The chief wizard and senior wizard who were watching this were flustered and tried to respond to the situation belatedly.

“What is it?”

But before they could cast their spell black smoke soon enveloped the entire laboratory.

The Chief Wizard and Senior Wizard also soon fell to the floor.

The clone of Zeke that was on the experiment table disappeared into smoke and instead Zeke who had been watching from behind appeared.

He looked down at the wizards who were paralyzed by the power of shadow and unable to move.

The chief wizard rolled his eyes and looked at the living Zeke Draker in disbelief.

Zeke approached him slowly.

“You are a true seeker of truth. Is that how you rationalize yourself?”

He chuckled and placed a hand on the chief wizard’s head.

“I will personally confirm how close you are to the truth.”

Wooooow!

The power of the Blood King and the wisdom of the Dragon unfolded together thoroughly searching the mind of the chief magician.

Although his brain seemed to be destroyed by the tremendous force Zeke paid no attention and continued searching through his memories to find information.

Soon the chief wizard’s eyes rolled back and drool flowed from his mouth.

But Zeke wouldn’t let him lose his mind.

I reawakened the bastard’s consciousness with amplified healing making him feel the pain vividly.

After extracting all the information Zeke stood up from his seat looking at the chief wizard whose eyes had completely lost focus.

“I have planted an endless hell in your head. The nightmare of being trampled by those you have caused pain will never end.”

Zeke placed similar curses on other wizards and found the secret room where the research materials he had seen in his memories were stored.

After collecting all the materials there and putting them in his inventory Zeke cut off the hands of the Chief Wizard and Senior Wizard and stood in front of the black door again with them.

Kurururung―

The door opened and Dool who was trapped inside the glass case was seen.

A third eye appeared on Zeke’s forehead.

“Bloodline of the fallen god.”

As he conveyed his message through his third eye Dool who had been floating in the glass case as if dead slowly opened his eyes.

Zeke said to Dool.

“I’ll give you a chance for revenge. But there’s one condition.”

Dool’s eyes turned to Zeke.

Zik continued speaking looking into Dool’s eyes.

“The Nostra Family’s grand boss who imprisoned you here. Tell me his identity.”

Kookookookook!

A giant door opened and Howard Draker entered the underground base.

He frowned at the damp air emanating from within the base.

The bloodline ability users escorting him from the side had familiar expressions on their faces.

And now beside Howard there were not only Bloodline ability users but also Draker’s knights and even Ishtar’s mystics.

This is because one of the conditions for cooperation that Ishtar set forth was to introduce the Nostra Family.

They were interested in the Nostra Family’s chimera research and wanted to establish a partnership and deal with them through Howard.

From Howard’s perspective it wasn’t a bad deal because the stronger his relationship with Ishtar became the more cards he could play.

Furthermore it was expected that if the Ishtar mystics were present the people of the Nostra Family would not be able to act rashly.

‘It’s quite an eyesore to see those who were keeping an eye on Arthur Draker during his lifetime suddenly become active…’

As Zeke had expected Howard was in charge of the dirty backroom dealings between Draker and the Nostra family.

Arthur Draker who had noticed Howard’s true nature early on gave him a seat in the House of Representatives and put him in charge of these backroom dealings.

Howard who is quick-witted has been working with criminal organizations and carrying out illegal activities without hesitation as soon as he receives orders from Arthur in order to preserve his position.

Then when Arthur Draker died Draker took advantage of the fact that he was the only connection to the Nostra Family.

Howard headed deep into the underground base with his cronies and the bloodline abilities of the Ishtar Mystics Family led by Himel.

Upon arriving at the reception room inside Howard was greeted by a man in a fancy suit.

“Howard! My old friend. Welcome.”

The man who greeted him with open arms was a middle-aged gentleman named Peter Olson.

He was a nobleman from the central region who ruled a small fief.

However this was only a superficial status and in reality he was one of the executives of the Nostra Family which controlled and shook the underworld.

“Peter it’s been a while.”

Howard greeted Peter and introduced Himel who was standing next to him.

“This is Himel Ishtar the successor of Ishtar that we were talking about. Himel this is Peter Olson. He is the actual operator of the Nostra Family.”

Peter laughed out loud at Howard’s words and slapped him on the shoulder.

“This guy is really talking nonsense. He’s going to be in big trouble.”

Peter bowed to Himel with the graceful reserved gesture of a middle-class nobleman.

“Welcome successor of Ishtar. It is an honor to serve you.”

He tried to kiss her hand as he would a normal lady but Himel did not let go of his hand and only glared at Peter with sharp eyes.

Peter sat up again with a slightly embarrassed expression and offered her a seat.

Howard and Peter Himmel sat at a round table.

Soon the servants brought wine.

Peter holding his wine glass in a noble gesture looked at Howard and said.

“Your expression is really good because things are going well.”

Howard nodded.

“Ishtar’s side was a great help. The poison of the mystic is truly terrifying. Even the Black Knight will fall into the abyss the moment he lets his guard down. Of course you were a great help. We were able to capture Sieg Draker with the power of the Bloodline ability users who amplify the gravitational field.”

Peter said clicking his tongue.

“Zeke Draker was a thorn in our side so we gave him special ability users. I was surprised when the boss made that decision. I guess that means he was worried about him that much.”

Peter’s words surprised Howard because they were unexpected.

“I didn’t know that even the boss would come out to catch him. If we had left Zeke Draker alone he might have become a monster worse than Arthur Draker.”

Peter winked holding a glass of blood-red wine.

“Anyway it’s a relief that we caught him. Now then let’s have a toast to the death of Zeke Draker and the new birth of the Draker family.”

Peter and Howard clinked their glasses together but Himel sat quietly without lifting his glass.

Peter took a sip of wine and looked at Himel like that.

“I would like to ask why the successor of Ishtar has come to see us.”

At his words Himel took something out of his bosom.

A bottle containing black liquid.

It was a strengthening drug made using corrupted holy blood that Rahim the leader of Six had.

Himel stammered and spoke in Central Continental dialect.

“I need this medicine. Ishtar.”

The Ishtar family said they needed a strengthening drug made by the Nostra family.

Peter looked surprised at Himel’s words.

“Oh I didn’t know that Ishtar would be interested in this. No I’m more curious as to how you got this in the first place.”

The black pill was a top secret even within the Nostra family.

It was also questionable how the medicine which could not be leaked outside ended up in Ishtar’s hands.

Himel continued with a sharp look in his eyes.

“Make up your mind. Deal. Or die.”

Deal or die.

It was a choice befitting the Ishtar family a transcendent family.

Peter looked surprised at Himel’s words then shook his head and laughed.

“Haha that’s just like the Ishtar family. Even I wouldn’t want to become the target of the mystics.”

He put down his wine glass and looked at Himel.

“We are more than happy to trade with Ishtar. However there are some conditions.”

Himel said putting the black medicine in his bosom.

“Tell me. The conditions.”

Peter chuckled and slowly opened his mouth.

“We need test subjects.”

In that moment life blossomed from Himel’s body.

In response the bloodline ability users behind them became alert and Ishtar’s mystics also drew their swords.

As the atmosphere became tense Howard stepped in and tried to mediate.

“It is not pleasant to see bloodshed during a transaction. Let’s calm down and resolve the issue through dialogue.”

At those words the mood on Ishtar’s side eased a little and Peter nodded to Howard as if expressing his gratitude then spoke to Himel.

“If you’re going to use that enhancer you’ll need to do a clinical trial anyway. The Ishtar family has elven blood so there’s no way to know what kind of reaction the black potion made for humans will have. If you give us a test subject we’ll give you the experimental information as well as the improved potion.”

The Nostra family already knew that House Ishtar was of elven descent.

Himel frowned and glared at Peter before gesturing to the shamans behind him.

Then the magicians completely sheathed their swords and stepped back.

Himel said to Peter.

“There are no test subjects. Tell me. Other conditions.”

Peter shook his head at those words.

“It’s hard for us to make any other conditions. We have a lot of money. Isn’t information really important?”

Himel hesitated at Peter’s sly words but then nodded as if he had no choice.

“Okay. I agree to the terms. But there is another condition.”

Peter smiled and lifted his wine glass.

“Okay. Tell me what the conditions are.”

Himel raised his hand and held up three fingers.

Then he folded his fingers one by one.

Peter and Howard tilted their heads at her incomprehensible actions.

It was when all three fingers were folded.

Kwakwakwakwang!

A huge explosion was heard outside.

As Peter and Howard were about to get up in surprise they realized that their bodies were frozen and they could not do so.

‘Do you know?’

The bloodline ability users and knights behind them had already been instantly subdued by Ishtar’s mystics.

One of the magicians took off his mask.

Yellin the true successor to Ishtar revealed his face.

She said as she looked at Peter and Howard.

“There is only one new condition. The necks of you piece of trash.”
