A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 495



Episode 495

A platform that rises so high that it seems to pierce the sky.

Statues of evil spirits with ominous faces supported the platform on all sides.

Ramon Siemens was climbing the hundreds of steps that were built between statues to lead to the podium.

He climbed to the top of the platform stood in front of the altar and gazed blankly at the altar built on the top floor.

The altar that the priest of the abyss had worked hard to build for the second baptism was made of crimson bloodstone.

Suddenly an apostle appeared opposite him.

Ramon Siemens could instinctively feel that the body of the apostle was possessed by a priest.

He looked at the priest and said

“I heard that there are not enough blood stones to put on the altar.”

Then a booming voice came from the apostle.

[I was planning on putting more in reserve but it doesn’t matter. This is enough to open the door and summon Ajita Haka.]

Ramon Siemens looked displeased at the priest’s words but said nothing more and just looked up at the sky.

In an hour a total lunar eclipse would begin revealing the red moon that only appears once in five hundred years.

‘I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time.’

In fact it didn’t matter when the ceremony was held as long as it was for the second baptism.

The reason he chose to perform the ritual on the day of the Red Moon was to receive the full power of Ajita Haka into his body.

After accepting the power of the evil spirit if he were to eat Abel who held the heart of the light dragon he could be reborn as a completely new being.

He was sure that even if Arthur Draker who had been bothering him were alive he would not be able to deal with him after he had been baptized.

Kookookookook―

The place where the altar was installed the Land of Extinction vibrated faintly in response to the approaching red moon.

Baranaon where long-standing mysteries are buried was the capital of the ancient kingdom of Kronos and even before that it was also the site of a ritual where the flesh-eating emperor Ajitahaka’s flesh-eating festival was held.

That is why it was the best place to best draw out the power of the ominous red moon.

As Ramon was thinking about the upcoming event the priest spoke to him.

[After Ramon Siemens’ baptism don’t forget the contract between us.]

At his words Ramon Siemens looked at the priest with contempt and said:

“How shameless to speak through the body of a subordinate while hiding your true self. If I fail the baptism will you still keep your contract?”

The priest had no answer to Ramon Siemens’ words.

Then Ramon Siemens opened his eyes wide and said:

“I don’t know about you guys but Siemens doesn’t break contracts. So stop talking nonsense and start preparing for the ceremony.”

The priest nodded at Ramon’s words.

Exactly!

He snapped his fingers and a black portal appeared.

Inside other dark magicians from the Abyss dragged Abel’s body bound tightly in chains.

Ramon also reached into the air and summoned a box containing the heart of the mad dragon Zeus.

He opened the sealed box and took out the pulsating heart of Zeus.

As the priest nodded the magicians released the chains that bound Abel’s body.

Clang!

As soon as the chains were released Abel who had become half a demon bit the neck of a nearby wizard.

“Kkaaaak!”

Abel bit the wizard’s neck and drank the flowing blood.

In an instant the wizard’s blood was sucked out and he collapsed on the floor turning into a mummy.

Abel feeling thirsty for raw blood tried to reach out to the other wizards again.

Then Ramon snapped his fingers.

Taaak!

In an instant Abel’s body was lifted into the air and his limbs were held in place as if by a giant hand his arms and legs spread apart and unable to move.

The priest approached Abel and stretched out his hand.

Then his heart suddenly split open.

Inside Abel’s chest a red knight’s heart was visible throbbing and dyed black.

Unable to withstand the extremely poisonous blood of the demon dragon he is gradually losing his strength.

The priest reached out and took the Red Knight’s heart out of Abel’s chest.

Push-shishissishik―

As soon as the heart was taken out it turned into poison and flowed out emitting black smoke and a foul smell.

Ramon placed the heart of the mad dragon Zeus into his empty chest.

The moment it was inserted the heart returned to its original position and began to beat fiercely.

Kookookookookook!

As his heart returned Abel’s eyes began to glow with a red dragon’s eye.

His skin which had been covered in ugly scales returned to its original state and words began to flow from Abel’s mouth once again.

“Zeek Zeek Draker… kill… kill.”

Abel who had begun to speak properly kept repeating the words as if the grudge against Zeke Draker was engraved most deeply in his mind.

As Ramon waved his hand Abel’s body floated up and landed on the altar.

As if pressed by an invisible force Abel was pinned to the altar lying flat on his back.

Ramon raised his head and looked at the sky.

The full moon was in the sky and the moon and the cursed land vibrated slightly as if resonating with each other.

That was when.

Gradually the moon began to be obscured by the spreading shadow.

The priest said to Ramon.

[When the moon is completely swallowed by the shadow the red moon will rise.]

A strange phenomenon that occurred once in five hundred years.

When the red moon rises the walls separating dimensions are loosened and evil beings hiding in the invisible realm are revealed.

Since the constellations left the phenomenal world these evil beings could no longer have substance and became ‘floating beings’.

These beings who had lost their form became mysterious beings with no names and were sleeping all over the continent.

The land of Baranaon where the altar was built was one of those mysterious realms whose names had disappeared.

As the full moon began to gradually take on a reddish hue floating formless entities began to appear one by one.

Black shadows could be seen swaying here and there around the statue of the evil spirit holding up the altar.

Ramon who had been granted the power of Ajitahaka knew the true identity of these beings.

‘Mara (魔羅).’

Fallen souls who have become evil beings by borrowing the power of the evil spirit Ajitahaka.

Even though Ajitahaka lost his power and was trapped in the isolated realm the Maras did not disappear but instead they lost their physical form and waited for the time to emerge from the invisible realm into the phenomenal world again.

They had been waiting in the back world for Ajitahaka their master and the master of all evil to descend to the world of appearances again.

The number of Mara wandering around as evil spirits was gradually increasing.

As time passed the figures of the Maras which had previously existed only in the form of shadows began to become clearer.

As the power of the Red Moon loosened the boundaries of dimensions the power of the trapped Ajatahaka seemed to extend beyond the Isolated Realm and affect the phenomenal world.

Ramon looked at the Maras gathered around the statue of the demon dancing and chanting ominous words he couldn’t understand.

Mara was one of the contracts between him and the Abyss.

The condition was that if he could bring Ajitahaka who was trapped in the Isolated Realm to the phenomenal world with the help of the priest and become his complete incarnation he would hand over the Maras who were trapped in the other world to Naraku.

From Ramon’s perspective he thought that if he had the power of Ajitahaka he could rule the entire continent so he thought that he could easily hand over the Maras to Narak.

But now looking at the countless shadows of Mara gathered under the statue of the demon I thought I knew why Narak had set such a condition.

Unlike typical demons or monsters Mara possessed both spiritual and physical attributes.

It was useful in many ways as it could move as if it was hiding in the other world and then materialize to attack.

Ramon felt it was a waste to hand over Mara to Naraku but the important thing now was to properly descend Ajitahaka so he decided not to have any more attachment to Mara.

‘Mara can be recreated after reaching the level of incarnation.’

Before I knew it half of the moon was covered by shadow.

The vibrations reverberating from the ground were also gradually becoming stronger.

The priest also felt this and began preparing to perform the ritual.

[Take out the evil spirit’s sacred water.]

At the priest’s words Ramon took out an old ceremonial dagger from his bosom.

The dagger engraved with a vicious demon was a sacred object that connected Ramon and the sealed Ajitahaka and granted him power.

The Siemens family kept this ancient relic of Ajitahaka but it was not until the Ramon era that they were able to properly use its powers.

The dagger Ramon took out floated into the air and landed on Abel’s left chest.

The priest stretched out his hand and said

[The divine water of Ajitahaka and the blood of Draker will meet the power of the Red Moon and open the isolated realm where the evil spirit is sealed.]

Abel a pureblood Awakened Draker who holds the heart of a mad dragon.

The one who sealed the evil spirit Ajitahaka in the isolation world was King Solomon the ancestor of Draker.

The priest planned to use that point to create a passageway between himself and the Ajitahaka who was trapped in the isolation realm through the pureblood of the fallen Draker.

The priest approached Abel who was lying on the altar of blood and stretched out his hand.

Woohoo!

A strange pattern emerged from Abel’s left chest where the heart of the dragon was.

As black energy rose from the strange pattern the priest began to chant a spell in an ominous voice.

As if responding to the spell the red bloodstones embedded in the altar began to glow and emit a strange energy.

Ss …

Strange whispers came from all directions along with the priest’s ominous incantations.

It sounded like a snake passing by or like the devil was right next to me spitting out words of temptation.

An ominous voice gradually grew louder and filled the surroundings.

At the same time the blood stone on the altar and the black energy flowing from Abel’s body merged into one and enveloped Ajitahaka’s sacred water.

Tsk tsk tsk tsk―

Black and red energy shot out from the dagger forming a circle and enveloping the full moon floating in the sky.

The full moon inside the circle was continuously obscured by shadows but it was gradually turning red perhaps due to the energy rising from the dagger.

Ramon watched the wondrous sight dumbfounded.

The priest said to Ramon

[Breathe in the power of the evil spirit and the passage will open.]

Ramon who came to his senses at those words reached out his hand towards the sacred water floating in the air.

Woohoo!

The power of Ajitahaka emanated from Ramon’s hands.

The dagger vibrated resonating with his power.

A gate leading to the evil spirit has taken shape.

But then it happened.

Kiiing―

Suddenly the power of Ajitahaka flowing from his hand dispersed.

‘what?’

Ramon hid his bewildered expression and reached out his hand again to activate his power.

Kiiiiiing―

This time it was the same.

The power was not manifested.

The priest said to Ramon.

[What are you doing? The moon’s shadow will soon rise and create a red moon. We need to complete the gate before that.]

Ramon couldn’t figure out why his powers suddenly stopped working.

He clenched his teeth and this time raised both hands.

Kugugugugugu!

A terrifying sinister aura emanated from Ramon’s entire body.

Even though he only borrowed a portion of the power through the divine water he was able to exert this level of power.

Even Ramon himself could not have predicted how powerful he would become if he could become an incarnation and use all of his powers.

Unlike before when I unleashed my power so strongly the power did not dissipate.

Ramon was relieved and was about to pour his power towards the crimson ring.

Kwakwakwakwa!

A golden halo of light spread across the sky surrounding the altar and the entire area where the demon statue was located.

The primordial light that purifies impure energy.

It was the ‘Will of Light’ that Zeke activated with the Holy Sword Ascalon.

Kiiiiiing!

Whether influenced by the will of light or not the output of the blood stone was lowered and the black energy flowing from Abel’s heart also became blurred.

The Maras who had been singing ominous songs and dancing under the statue of the demon let out terrible screams and hid inside the statue when they were touched by the light of purification.

Ramon looked up at the sky gritting his teeth.

Wooooow!

A figure floating in the sky was emitting huge golden waves.

Sieg riding Bucephalus wearing the Hersion of the goddess Theia and holding the holy sword Ascalon.

Ramon shouted at Zeke.

“Zeke Drakeoooooo!”

Ramon’s angry voice echoed throughout the ruins.
