A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 531



Episode 531

Zig checked the list of mobile bases the system had brought up.

―List of mobile bases―

1. Ark

2. Triangle

“The ark and the triangle.”

Zeke looked surprised as he looked at the list of mobile bases.

The Ark hidden in Death Valley and Captain Kidd’s ship the Triangle.

As Zeke had expected the production of a mobile base itself was impossible but the existing ancient relics could be used as mobile bases in conjunction with the Offense Mode.

‘The triangle has sailed while connected to the system. But… does the ark also have to be set afloat and moved on the sea?’

Zeke asked the system.

“Can you also find out the functions of the arks that are floating in the system list?”

The system responded to Zeke’s words with a message.

[You can check the functions open to the administrator.]

“Really? Then display the Ark’s open function on the screen.”

Soon the system will display the Ark’s features that can be used in conjunction with Offense Mode.

Zig couldn’t help but be amazed as he checked out the features.

“Isn’t the function almost the same as the floating ship used in Demon World Chess?”

Demon Chess was created based on the playful battles of the constellations and it was possible to retrieve data from civilizations that had disappeared in the past due to the constellations.

What this means is that the things that can be produced in Demon World Chess are items or pieces that actually existed in the past phenomenal world.

Zeke was reminded again that the ark was a relic from an ancient civilization that had disappeared.

‘The floating ship produced in Demon World Chess is the same as the ark in Death Valley.’

I felt anew that traces of a lost ancient civilization still exist in various places in the phenomenal world under the name of mystery.

The ark was one of those relics that contained such ancient mysteries.

Zeke looked closely at the ark’s functions and realized that it had more usable functions than the floating ships produced by the Demon World Chess.

“The Ark can also teleport by itself right? If you have enough karma you can load troops onto the Ark and teleport to the enemy territory in one go.”

If you use the ark you can gain an advantageous position in the battle with Narak as well as in the siege with Jupiter.

‘I guess I’ll have to make time to go to Death Valley and retrieve the ark.’

Zeke decided to quit offense mode and get back into defense mode this time.

This invasion by the demon princesses made me feel the need to be more thorough in my defenses against the demons’ attacks.

“System this time display a list of areas where defense mode can be linked.”

[Loads a list of ‘Base Areas’ that can be linked with Defense Mode.]

A list of defense stronghold areas appeared along with the message.

―List of Base Areas―

1. The Fortress of Atrahasis

2. The Tomb of the Dragon Slayer

3. The Resting Place of the Hero King

4. The Heavenly Tribe’s Resting Place

5. Giant’s Guardian Tower (Acquire authority)

6. Ark

7. Infinite Tower (Gaining Authority)

Zeke looked at the list of base areas which had grown larger than before and examined the contents in detail.

‘7th Infinite Tower.’

The Infinite Tower the third defensive base that was accessed from the Nirvana Central Branch of Aten was added to the list of stronghold areas.

At the time he did not have the authority to be the tower’s administrator but it seems that he acquired the authority by receiving the protection of the title of Great Mage.

‘Both the Giant’s Guardian Tower and the Infinity Tower have acquired administrator rights. If the Demons invade this side it will be possible to set up a defense line remotely.’

Zig’s gaze shifted to number 1 on the list after scanning it once.

‘Wait the fortress of Atrahasis?’

Clearly in his memory the name of the number 1 was previously ‘Fortress of ???’

But now ???’s name had been changed to Atrahasis.

He had heard the name Atra-hasis before.

This name appeared in the same way when the true identity of Agamemnon’s mask was revealed.

‘Atrahasis… is the true name of the great sage.’

And what Fort No. 1 refers to is the Agamemnon Castle in Mycenae.

“Agamemnon’s castle is the fortress of the great sage?”

Zeke had always thought that Agamemnon’s castle was made by dragons.

‘It was a fortress built by a great sage not a dragon.’

Now I think I understand why there was a sacred mask here and why there was a divine being Nahuel in the lake.

Zigg took a look at the newly opened fortress’ features along with the update to Admin Mode.

It was possible to summon various defensive weapons starting with the large defensive magic circle.

“If the update had been just a little bit faster we could have perfectly defended against the invasion fortress’s attacks.”

Zeke muttered in regret then set the defense function to automatic while he was talking.

Now that Zeke is no longer at Castle Agamemnon we can defend ourselves which gives us time to prepare for waves of monsters.

After organizing up to defense mode Zigg closed the system window and cooled his head for a moment to check other items.

And at one point Zeke was holding two keys in his hands.

“The Key to Kronos’s Treasure and Arthur Drake’s Legacy…”

The Kronos Report Key has yet to be used in actual combat.

The Report Key contained the power to use items contained in the Kronos Kingdom Report for a certain period of time by consuming Karma Points.

However as a Ziker who had a legendary item I didn’t really feel the need to summon the item with the key of the report.

If you’re going to spend Karma Points anyway it’s more cost-effective to buy other things you need from the store.

It was a reward for a hard-won quest mission but it was an item that had little utility for Zeke who had the Elder Dragon system.

Then something occurred to Zeke.

‘What would happen if I put this in the Ark of the Covenant?’

I confirmed that even legendary items can be placed in the Ark of the Covenant.

Without another thought Zeke took out the Ark of the Covenant put the key inside and looked.

When the lid of the Ark was closed surprisingly the Ark’s power began to activate.

Wooooow!

Zig looked at the glowing Ark anticipating how the Key of the Report would change.

Finally the Ark was opened again and the key to the treasure rose from within.

Zeke checked the key information.

―Key to the Report of the Kingdom of Kronos (Reinforced)―

Description: A key that can open the report of the Kingdom of Kronos. It has been strengthened by the power of the Ark expanding its abilities to include the power to summon spirits.

Unique Ability: Report Open Summon Spirit

Special: Users can summon items contained in the Kronos Kingdom Report and spirits related to the Kronos Kingdom for a certain period of time. When summoning a spirit the stability of the summoning can be increased by using an item related to the spirit as a medium. Karma points are consumed for causality.

Zeke was surprised to see the key to the enhanced report.

“Summoning a spirit related to the Kingdom of Kronos?”

In addition to summoning items another power was created that could summon spirits.

Zeke held the key and tried to summon a spirit by thinking of a person.

[Summoning is not possible due to insufficient stability in connection with the spirit.]

Zeke looked disappointed as he saw the message that had appeared.

Then Zeke remembered that the cloak he was wearing was that of Jerome the Wise Knight one of the Clock Tower knights.

He grabbed Jerome’s cloak and tried to summon the spirit again.

[Connection stability has been increased through a medium associated with the spirit. Summoning is possible. However the medium may disappear depending on the connection environment.]

Zeke canceled the summons after seeing the warning message that appeared.

I couldn’t just destroy my precious cloak to try summoning it.

‘If you prepare related items in advance and summon the spirits when needed it will be helpful in battle.’

The legendary clock tower knights were all people with powers close to transcendence.

Although there is a time limit on the summoning it can be a great weapon if used strategically.

At the same time Zeke remembered one thing.

“If this is true then it is possible to summon Master Kaiser or even the Sword Saint.”

Since both of them had previously appeared in the phenomenal world in the form of spirits it didn’t seem entirely impossible.

But considering that the two of them had the status of transcendent beings it seemed like summoning them would require enormous karma.

In particular it seemed virtually impossible since Caesar was a being so strong that just being in the phenomenal world would cause problems with causality.

After strengthening the Kronos’s Report Key and seeing new possibilities Zeke examined another key the legacy of Arthur Draker.

He looked at Arthur Draker’s key with a complicated expression.

‘If Arthur Draker wasn’t dead then why did he leave me this key as a legacy?’

Arthur Draker was the person that Zeke had the most difficulty understanding both in his past life and in his present life.

To this day Zeke still can’t figure out whether to believe that Arthur Draker is not his biological father.

However it was not entirely unreasonable considering that his mother Laura Agamemnon had detested Arthur Drake.

Since it was common for noble families to marry for unavoidable reasons and have other lovers it wasn’t all that surprising that Arthur wasn’t Zeke’s biological father.

‘Besides strictly speaking Luverne also inherited the blood of Terracan Draker so even if Arthur Draker is not my biological father it is not strange that I am Draker’s blood relative.’

Since Agamemnon’s bloodline branched off from Luverne it made sense that he would have awakened the power of immortality even if his biological father was not of Drake’s blood.

Moreover in the case of Zeke the blessing of the Elder Dragon was combined with the talent of a healer to awaken the power of immortality.

That’s why Zeke had no idea who his biological father was.

Even though he tried to recall past memories with the wisdom of the dragon he could not retrieve proper data due to the lack of a medium.

He held Arthur Draker’s key in his hand and looked at it with mixed emotions then unconsciously activated the Sage’s Eye.

But surprisingly the key reacted.

Phage crackle!

A spark flew from the key and the karma data contained within it was transmitted to Zeke.

‘What is this…?’

When I received the key from Baron before no matter how much I tried to read the contents with the wisdom of the dragon there was no response.

But now unlike back then it was possible to view karma data.

A message appeared before the surprised Zeke’s eyes.

―Final scenario (??? Chapter of the Temple)―

[??? Find the temple of the constellation.]

[Scenario Reward: Granting the Power of the Constellation]

Zeke was surprised when he saw the final scenario that suddenly came to mind.

‘Arthur Draker’s legacy is connected to the final scenario?’

A map came to mind with a scenario asking you to find the temple of a constellation marked ‘???’.

Zeke’s expression changed strangely when he saw the map.

“This is the Duchy of Troy.”

The Duchy of Troy the home of the Drake family.

There was a cradle there to raise young drakers and a lair the main home.

The legacy of Terrakan Draker known as the progenitor of the Draker family was also found there.

Zeke thought it was no coincidence that Arthur Draker’s legacy pointed to the Duchy of Troy.

‘It might have something to do with Arthur Draker’s secret that I don’t know about.’

Zig saved the location marked on the map.

Right now I was in a hurry to finish the first final scenario I received the chapter of the Fallen Constellation so I was planning to finish that first and then go to the Duchy of Troy.

After receiving a new ending scenario Zeke began to think more deeply about Arthur Draker.

As his thoughts grew deeper someone came into Zeke’s room.

“My lord it is Baron.”

It was quite late at night and Baron came to Zeke’s room in person.

‘What’s going on?’

Although he accepted Baron as his subordinate he was always on guard as he was kept by his side to keep an eye on him.

Zick spoke softly toward the door.

“Come in.”

When his permission was granted the Baron opened the door and entered politely bowing his head.

“Sorry for the interruption.”

“It’s okay. What’s wrong Baron?”

Baron came closer to Zeke and opened his mouth.

“I have something to tell you my lord.”

He closed his mouth for a moment and then continued speaking.

“Some time ago some suspicious movements were detected from Nirvana.”
