A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 567



Episode 567

‘The Wheel of Fortune.’

I remembered what the Elder Dragon and the Great Sage had said about him.

“Does the Wheel of Destiny… refer to the constellations of the heavens? Those who killed the primordial light the creator and made the beings of the phenomenal world their slaves?”

Satan shook his head at those words.

“The thirteen zodiac signs. They were once my brothers. But they too are ultimately beings subject to fate.”

“If the constellations of the heavens are also subject to fate does that mean there is another being that holds even their fate in check?”

Satan nodded slowly.

Then he seemed to think for a moment and opened his mouth.

“He who murdered the primordial light and stole its power.”

Kookookookookook!

In an instant life energy rose from Satan’s body and the entire valley shook.

He said with shining eyes.

“The sun god. He holds the wheel of destiny.”

Zeke held his breath for a moment at the name Satan mentioned.

‘The sun god?’

Zeke also knew about the existence of the sun god.

Geo Lubern who led the early Holy Empire worshipped the god of light.

However as the power of the empire was transferred from the Luverne Bloodline to the Holy Empire the Order of Light was transformed into the Order of the Sun which worshipped the sun god.

And later when the Holy Empire split into the Holy Kingdom and the Roman Empire their doctrines also split. The Holy Royal Palace worshipped only the sun god while the Roman Empire worshipped the sun god the moon goddess Theia and all thirteen constellations that protected them as gods.

The Elder Dragon said that this was because the constellations that killed the Primordial Light were fearful of his resurrection and had lowered his status.

‘It is said that the primordial light was sealed under the name of the sun god and the god of chaos was demoted to the name of the moon goddess… but the sun god killed the first light?’

Satan looked at Zeke and said.

“I was the first to resist the Creator but it was the Sun God who took advantage of this to kill the Creator and steal his power. He and I were once the most loving brothers but since then we have gone our separate ways.”

He continued speaking with a slightly bitter expression on his face.

“All of this is ultimately a stage that he has created. We are just actors on that stage moving according to the scenario called destiny.”

“Then why does the Sun God do such things? If everything is determined by his will anyway why does he have to erase civilization and recreate it over and over again? Wasn’t it to prevent that by killing the primordial light in the first place?”

At those words Satan spoke with a stern expression.

“The Sun God has taken the power of the primordial light but he cannot fully use it. He realized that he must understand the primordial light in order to fully use its power. He too is not completely free from the sanctions of karma.”

Zeke clenched his teeth as he heard Satan’s words.

“…Is all this practice? To acquire the power of complete creation?”

The fact that the entire process of destroying the phenomenal world and taking countless mortal souls to exploit for karma was ultimately nothing more than practice made Zigg feel like this reality itself was a bad joke.

‘No matter how much we struggle are we nothing more or less than the playthings of the constellations?’

Then Satan snapped his fingers at Zeke.

“Zeke Draker you don’t have to make that face. Didn’t I tell you? I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”

He said again with his charming smile.

“A perfect stage and a perfect actor. The Sun God wants to become a perfect being through this. But before he can achieve it fortunately the Elder Dragon and the Great Sage created a being that could defy the wheel of fate. Their power alone is not enough to resist the Sun God who holds fate in his hands.”

With those words Satan pointed to Zeke.

Zeke looked Satan in the eye and said.

“Does it mean that you can resist fate just by going back from the future to the past?”

“You’ve not only come back in time you’ve come from beyond the fourth wall outside the stage set by the sun god.”

He snapped his fingers once more and a halo of light gathered.

A stage for performing an exciting play was created on the table.

I couldn’t tell exactly what it was about but the actors were there doing their best to act out the content of the play.

Satan put his finger between the stage and the audience.

“This is the fourth wall.”

Then one of the actors who was backstage returned to the audience stepped over Satan’s finger and climbed up onto the stage.

“I see. You’ve gone beyond this wall.”

The stage was thrown into chaos when a new actor who had been absent from the stage appeared.

All the actors began to change their performances and improvise new content to fit the appearance of a new character who broke the fourth wall.

Satan saw this and said

“This is the current state of affairs. What do you think will happen if this state continues?”

Zig opened his mouth as he looked at the messed-up stage.

“…I guess the play will continue to be improvised like this or I will decide that it is too unmanageable and end it halfway.”

Satan chuckled at Zeke’s words.

“That’s right. If it becomes uncontrollable the curtain will fall. That’s what the person who put on this play is saying.”

Zeke raised his head after hearing Satan’s words.

“Does this mean that the sun god who holds destiny in his hands because of my existence is coming down to bring down the curtain?”

“Perfect stage perfect actors perfect scenario. If that’s what he really wants then so be it. Because right now it’s not at all what he intended.”

Zeke heard Satan’s words and seemed to know what the Elder Dragon and the Great Sage intended.

‘Breaking down the fourth wall and throwing the stage into chaos. This will force the mastermind behind the wheel of destiny to come up onto the stage…’

Satan slowly rose from his seat.

Then he approached Zeke and grabbed his shoulder.

“Zeke Draker you are not yet ready to stand against him. To become a true resister of destiny you must be more prepared before he comes to bring down the curtain.”

“What kind of preparation are you talking about?”

“You must have a divine nature that can stand against him.”

Zeke furrowed his brows at Satan’s words.

“Is it not enough to just absorb your soul?”

Satan shook his head at those words.

“After falling to the Demon Realm and losing my true name my strength also declined. My shining wings fell off and now all that remains is a weak amount of authority.”

Satan said that his power to gather civilizations that were on the verge of extinction and create a city in the Demon Realm was weak.

It was difficult to even imagine how powerful Lucifer must have been when he was still a boy.

The sun god had powers equal to Lucifer’s and he had even absorbed the power of the primordial light.

Satan looked into Zeke’s eyes and then slowly opened his mouth.

“To confront him you must completely absorb the sealed demon lord’s soul.”

Zeke looked fierce at Satan’s words and jumped up from his seat.

Then he stepped back and pulled out Levatein.

“…It’s funny how I’ve been taking the devil’s words seriously all this time.”

In the end he had been trying to trick Zeke by putting in effort to resurrect the Demon King’s soul in his body.

Satan shook his head as he watched Zigg’s reaction.

“Ha I was worried because I thought it might be like this. I am attractive but I am not good at talking. This is not Azazel… Mephistopheles is good at it.”

Chijijijijijik―

Satan’s body began to blur as he spoke with a regretful tone.

He said looking at Zeke.

“It’s about time. I used the power of this canyon but a being of divine status like mine would consume a lot of causality if I were to reveal myself.”

Satan looked at Zeke and said.

“Before the end comes hear the truth from Mephisto first. Otherwise you will end up like Solomon in the past.”

Satan’s appearance became blurred as if he would soon disappear.

Zeke shouted at Satan.

“Listen to the truth. What are you talking about!”

Satan said with a seductive smile.

“I will be sleeping inside you. Come whenever you are ready. I will make arrangements for you.”

With those words Satan’s appearance completely disappeared.

Tsk tsk tsk―

As soon as Satan disappeared time in the canyon began to flow again.

Zeke chewed on the words Satan had left behind then shook his head to calm his confused mind.

‘I can’t trust the devil’s words. In the end I have to find out the truth for myself.’

He picked up Levatein again and looked out into the mist beyond the canyon.

‘One by one. I will overcome them by my own will not by someone else’s.’

As usual Zeke entered the fog of the canyon with an unwavering spirit.

* * *

Inside the canyon the Red King and the Knights of Dracula were camped out waiting for Zeke to arrive.

The Red King wanted to use the unique power of this canyon to capture the Knight of Salvation Zeke.

The Red King wearing a red herzion and sitting cross-legged in meditation was recalling the secret that Sieg Draker held.

‘He can use the power of the dragon.’

The power of the dragon which had already disappeared from the Central Continent was the source of countless miracles that Zeke had performed so far.

The Red King’s head was filled with information about Sieg Draker.

The enemy king analyzed the numerous miracles he had shown to the world to determine what abilities he had and prepared traps accordingly.

‘We must catch him here.’

In fact neither Castro Pollock nor Jupiter were of much importance to the enemy king.

He even deliberately caused Castro Pollock to lose patience and open the gates to attack the Allied forces.

The warlocks of the Abyss were disgusting beings but they were accustomed to driving people mad so it wasn’t that difficult.

The enemy king thoroughly exploited even those aspects to create the current situation.

And this whole situation was just a process to bring down Zeke Draker.

As he expected Zeke Draker showed up on the battlefield and entered the canyon to capture him.

Now all that was left to do was calmly wait for the bastard to fall into the trap.

Kiiiiiing―

Then a sharp sound arose from the front of the valley.

The enemy king who had been sitting calmly slowly got up.

At the same time other Dracula Knights also lined up their displays.

A deep low voice flowed from the enemy king’s helmet.

“He has reached his target.”

This canyon had the power to control the dragon’s power and penetrate the subconscious to confuse the mind.

As the enemy king he did not know the principle by which such power worked.

But he knew very well that that unknown power was very fatal to one who had the power of a dragon.

The Red King waited for Zeke to enter here with his dragon powers limited and his mind polluted by the power of the canyon.

The calculation was that if the dragon’s power was limited it would only be able to exert the power of the Black Knight.

With the power of the same black knight the enemy king himself who had more experience on the battlefield would have the advantage and with the Knights of Dracul with him he should be able to easily capture Sieg Draker.

‘There is only one reason for the defeat of those who have great power: arrogance.’

The reason he was able to defeat the Murk Empire 25 years ago was because he focused on attacking their arrogance.

His calculations were correct that a young knight born with the great power of the dragon would definitely jump into this place alone.

The Red King was riding on his beloved horse the Red Hare and carrying his beloved weapon a giant red axe.

The Knights of Dracula spread out across the canyon and waited for Zeke to come here.

And just as the Red King had expected the figure of Zeke Draker began to appear across the canyon.

“Hoo hoo…..”

Zeke Draker approached the enemy king with his face distorted and his red eyes gleaming covered in wounds all over his body.

He glared at the enemy king with fierce eyes and let out a roar.

“Nenooooooooh!”

In that moment the enemy king retreated riding his red horse.

And just in time a furious Zeke raised his sword and charged towards the enemy king.

At that moment the magic circle that had been installed in advance on the bottom of the valley was activated.

Woof woof woof!

As the magic circle created by the black magicians of the Abyss was activated black smoke rose up and enveloped Zeke’s body.

“Kwaaah!”

Zeke quickly took off his gloves and tried to use the pureblood Draker ability of reflecting magic but black smoke enveloped his hands and he could not move.

The enemy king saw this and sent the signal again.

The Knights of Dracula who were hiding throughout the valley took out the secret weapon they brought from Jupiter and aimed it at Zeke.

As soon as the enemy king’s signal was given dozens of shells flew toward Zeke.

Kwakwakwakwang!

A huge roar and explosion engulfed Zigg who was bound in a magic circle.
