A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 525



Episode 525

The master of an irrevocable contract.

As the name of the Demon King’s constellation flowed out from Zeke’s mouth Elizabeth’s eyes shook greatly.

‘How do you know your father’s constellation name?’

She felt something was terribly wrong.

The problem was that I couldn’t find out what was wrong.

Even with his genius mind that was well-versed in all the magic in the demon world he couldn’t figure out what Zeke had done.

She felt she had to discipline Zeke even if he was rude in front of the Demon King.

Elizabeth raised her head and tried to get up from her seat overcoming her sense of intimidation.

To the Demons obeying a master who had sworn to be their vassal was as natural as breathing.

She tried to raise her body while forcibly overcoming her demonic instincts.

But then it happened.

“Sit down.”

With each soft word from Zeke a huge pressure pressed down on Elizabeth’s body.

Kookookookookook!

As he unleashed the field of gold power with the Elemental Sword the pressure applied to the entire hall increased several times.

The princesses as well as the demons who were keeping a distance behind them had to clench their teeth and endure the pressure of the gold field.

Even Catherine who was confident in her abilities had difficulty controlling her body.

Zeke took another step forward and spoke to the image of the Demon King’s face in the mirror.

“I asked the Devil’s Jang what it would be like to make a deal with me.”

At that moment a message appeared before Zeke’s eyes.

[The fallen constellation the master of the unbreakable contract looks upon the immortal.]

[The fallen constellation the master of the unbreakable contract marvels at the faint divinity he senses from the immortal.]

At the same time sparks flew from Zeke’s body.

Phage phage phage!

As the polymorph that had set him as a demon was released Zeke returned to his human form.

Elizabeth who had somehow managed to keep her head up while enduring the pressure of gold was shocked when she saw Zeke return to his human form.

‘How on earth?’

After deceiving Belial into signing a contract with Elizabeth Zeke was transformed into a race similar to the Arzidum a demon race that had been captured in advance using Polymorph.

Elizabeth who did not notice that the contract was not fulfilled due to deception made a deal with Yekaterina herself to bring Zeke under her command and used her power to open a communication network with the Demon Leader.

Elisabetta clenched her teeth as she realized that she had been tricked by Zeke.

“Zeke Draker you dare….”

Elizabeth who had strong pride trembled and ground her teeth unable to admit that a lowly human had deceived her.

But then the image of the face in the mirror suddenly popped forward.

Grrrrrrrrrrrr―

The face that came in front of Zeke making a strange sound shook its head from side to side.

Soon the message came back to me again.

[The fallen constellation the master of the unbreakable contract finds the immortal’s offer interesting.]

[The fallen constellation asks what kind of deal the owner of the unbreakable contract wants.]

Zig said as he looked at the image of the owner of the irrevocable contract in the mirror.

“Make sure that the demons of your camp do not agree to the summoning contract with Narak.”

He took out Solomon’s ring and held it out to him continuing to speak.

“If you accept my offer I will hand over the soul of the constellation sealed in this ring.”

Zeke opened the constellation’s level that was trapped in Solomon’s ring.

Woohoo!

Mamon the endlessly greedy one.

Black snake in the mouth Belial

Wirinom the Rider of Blood and Madness

They were the souls of the constellations sealed in Solomon’s ring.

The fallen constellations eat each other’s souls to increase their level and power.

The master of the contract the Demon Master also thought that he would be greedy for the souls of powerful demons such as Mammon and Belial.

The image in the mirror hearing Zeke’s words came closer to Solomon’s ring.

Grrrrrrrrrrrr―

He moved his face around as if trying to get a good look at Solomon’s ring.

[The fallen constellation the master of the unbreakable contract finds the immortal’s offer interesting.]

[All three spirits are demons from the realm of Gehenna and the ruler there the Master of Unquenchable Flames warns that he may target the immortals.]

Zeke opened his mouth at the devil’s warning.

“It doesn’t matter. If they attack just kill them.”

Grrrrrrrrrrrr―

At Zeke’s answer the face in the mirror shook its head back and forth.

[The fallen constellation the master of the unbreakable contract is pleased with the words and actions of the immortal.]

[The fallen constellation the master of the unbreakable contract makes another offer to the immortal.]

Zeke furrowed his brows as he looked at the message that had appeared.

‘Any other suggestions?’

My first thought was that if it was a proposal from the devil of the contract there might be some kind of trap.

But then a huge vibration came from the mirror.

Wooooow!

The princesses who were kneeling felt the vibration and were startled.

Especially Elizabeth who was barely able to raise her head had an expression of disbelief.

“Oh Father is your tongue real?”

In order for the Demon Lord the ruler of Pandemonium to manifest in the phenomenal world an enormous amount of karma was needed to neutralize the karmic sanctions. This vibration now meant the consumption of such karma.

Soon a metal tube that seemed to be made of mercury extended out from the mirror accompanied by a vibration.

The metal tube extended out and slammed into the back of Anastasia’s neck who was shivering.

Meow!

Anastasia in cat form let out a long howl.

A moment later a bright light emerged from Anastasia’s eyes.

Anastasia’s body floating in the air emitted a halo and it felt like she was far beyond the phenomenal world.

“Ahhh can you hear me?”

A being of distant rank spoke in an incarnate voice through Anastasia’s body.

Zeke broke out in a cold sweat without realizing it.

When the Demon King took on the body of his incarnation Anastasia the area around her changed into a divine realm.

A unique space of a different dimension from the unique barrier that the evil god Chaos had created was spread out in Yekaterina’s invasion fortress.

‘I feel a difference in level that cannot be compared to the evil spirit Ajita Hakana or the evil spirit Honon.’

Because he had become a transcendent being and had attained godhood he was able to feel the magnitude of that power even more fully.

Compared to the demon leader’s level the souls of Belial and Mammon felt like fireflies in front of the sun.

The demon leader who had taken over Anastasia’s body continued speaking.

“Zeke Draker. It’s nice to meet you in person. I can say that I’m a fan of yours personally.”

The demon leader looked at Zeke and spoke in a friendly voice.

Although his speech and voice were soft the power contained within them fully revealed the status of the ruler of the demon world.

The devil continued speaking.

“Let me introduce myself first. I have a long and boring constellation name ‘Master of the Irrevocable Contract.’ I wish it were a little shorter but it’s not something we can control so there’s nothing we can do about it. Since you’re special I’ll allow you to call me ‘Mephistopheles.’”

Zeke was startled when he heard the demon leader’s true name.

Demons are reluctant to have their true identities revealed.

This is because the spirit entities such as the fallen constellations have a power that determines their existence in their true names.

The first thing that sorcerers focus on when summoning an ancient spirit is to find out its true name and call it correctly.

In other words if you could just figure out the true names of the spirits half of the magic would be done.

Nevertheless the demon leader revealed his true name without any hesitation.

That meant he had confidence in himself.

Zeke opened his mouth and looked at him.

“Mephistopheles. Are you the Demon Lord and the Ruler of Pandemonium?”

Mephistopheles nodded to Zeke’s words in the form of a cat.

“As expected you are a suspicious person. Okay I have to be thorough in everything I do. I will stake my soul on it. I am indeed the Demon Lord and the ruler of Pandemonium.”

Zeke didn’t quite understand why the demon lord Mephistopheles was so kind to him.

Mephistopheles smiled faintly as if he had noticed his thoughts and continued speaking.

“You’re quite popular among us. Things in the demon world are exciting but they become boring after a while. Even if you pay a high price things in the phenomenological world are more dynamic and fun.”

Through Mephistopheles’ words Zeke realized that the fallen constellations were watching what was happening in the phenomenal world.

‘Are you saying that even those who were not directly involved were watching what was happening?’

Mephistopheles snickered as he looked at Anastasia’s body that had been turned into a cat.

“The reason why this child who is lacking compared to other talented children was able to become my adopted daughter is because she has a good wavelength with me. You made her into a cat so it was easier for me to manifest her.”

Zeke said still looking at the leisurely Mephistopheles.

“There must be a reason why you paid such a great price to show up here in person.”

“You’re impatient. That’s good. I also like getting to the point first.”

He waved his cat paw and clapped his hands.

Then the screen popped up and the divided demon realm area appeared within it.

It was the same screen that Elizabeth had shown.

“That Beta kid has already shown you this. In fact it was the real thing that he proposed to you. If you Zeke Draker were to join our camp I would have put aside the card called the Demon King’s Advent.”

Zeke frowned at Mephistopheles’ words.

“I heard that the goal of all demons is to bring down the Demon King but it’s hard to believe that you the Demon Master are willing to give it up.”

Mephistopheles nodded at those words.

“I guess so. I fully understand how you feel.”

He clapped his hands again and the screen changed.

A cityscape of Pandemonium appeared on the screen.

“Look at this Zeke Drake. We are creating a brilliant civilization even in the Demon Realm built on the fragments of that unstable dimension.”

Unlike other areas of the Demon World Pandemonium had the appearance of a city that was no different from the phenomenal world.

No rather in some ways it was a more advanced form with numerous types of demons living together to form a society.

It was quite different from the image of the Demons who were known to pursue only violence and struggle and find joy only in war.

“It took a very long time to get to this point. It was my own experiment. An experiment to see if it was possible to create a civilization even on the barren border of the Demon World.”

He continued speaking slowly.

“In fact you could say that demons are almost the same as humans. If left alone humans would also fight and fight each other. I looked closely at the differences between demons and humans. And I realized one difference. It’s called a ‘contract.’”

At Mephistopheles’ words Zeke opened his mouth.

“So the destructive instinct of the demons was suppressed through a contract?”

Mephistopheles smiled and nodded at his words.

“That’s right. Humans form a society by borrowing the power of contracts. I applied that contract to the demons. Of course I imposed much stronger sanctions than I did for humans. At first I failed many times. If the sanctions were too weak no one would keep the contract and if the sanctions were too strong the contract would not be properly executed. It took thousands of years to find that balance.”

Mephistopheles smiled happily as he looked at the civilization of Pandemonium that he had spent so much time creating.

Then he looked at Zeke again and said.

“Zeke Draker I have a new goal in mind for this experiment: to spread it throughout the entire Demon World.”

“Abyss and Abaddon Gehenna too?”

“Yes of course since the environment there is different from Pandemonium a different method would be needed. However I think that civilization could be established there as well.”

Zeke now understood what Mephistopheles was planning.

“If that’s possible then there’s no need to force the Demon King to come down to the mortal world.”

Mephistopheles nodded and said.

“That’s right. If that’s the case we actually need a stable phenomenal world. After all in order to maintain the unstable society of the Demon World we need the karma created in the phenomenal world and the more the phenomenal world prospers the more karma there will be.”

Mephistopheles descended from the air and came closer to Zeke saying:

“So I would like to offer you a new contract.”

Zeke looked at Mephistopheles silently and Zeke met his eyes and slowly opened his mouth.

“How about you becoming the sixth Demon Lord?”
