A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 572



Episode 572

Bathory looked dumbfounded at Zeke’s words.

“…Arthur Draker is trying to resurrect the Demon King and bring the demons of the Demon World to the real world?”

“You got it right.”

At his words Bathory clenched his teeth and glared at Zeke.

“Zeke Draker are you making fun of me?”

Zeke met Bathory’s eyes and spoke with unwavering eyes.

“It looks like I’m joking.”

Bathory could barely suppress his anger at the sight of Zig’s eyes shining so firmly without any wavering.

“I guess it hasn’t reached the Empire. The Allied Forces were not formed simply to occupy the Empire. They were formed to prevent the advent of the Demon King and the Demon World.”

Although it was an unexpected statement there was no need for Zeke who had enough power to subdue Bathory and the Knights of Dracula to lie. Assuming that what Zeke said was true Bathory calmly analyzed and observed the situation.

Bathory who had inherited the enemy king’s intelligence soon figured out the gist of what Zeke had said.

“Does this have anything to do with Arthur Draker kidnapping the Guardian Dragon?”

Zeke nodded at her words.

“Yes it is known in the world that dragons started a war of liberation but the truth is different. The demons who took over the bodies of dragons attacked the world of phenomena and tried to bring down the Demon King in the body of Bahamut who was called the strongest dragon.”

Bathory jumped up from his seat in surprise.

“No way! Are you trying to inhabit Eos-sama’s body with the spirit of a demon?”

Zeke shook his head at Bathory’s words.

“I still don’t know what Arthur Draker’s plan is. Unlike a thousand years ago there are now methods developed to summon demons to the world in their entirety. Summoning demons using the body of a dragon that has little life left is an inefficient method.”

Bathory clenched his fist.

“Whatever the reason it can’t be just loot. We have to rescue Eos from him somehow.”

“Your bond with the Guardian Dragon is truly remarkable. Does this have anything to do with the loyalty shown by the Knights of Dracula?”

At Zeke’s words Bathory slowly opened his mouth.

“Since long ago Basarab has been the place where Eos has been the guardian dragon. After the liberation war the fear of dragons spread throughout the central continent so she has not shown herself… but to us she is a loving mother and a guardian deity. We all respect and follow her so we have kept her existence hidden.”

He could feel the affection and deep bond with Eos embedded in Bathory’s words.

‘They say that dragons are the ones who love humans the most. So humans must have loved dragons as well.’

Bahamut and Terrakan Draker were also people who had a deep bond that transcended the boundaries between dragon and human races.

Also since Zeke also had the heart of the Elder Dragon and the heart of Bahamut he could feel the bond between Eos and Bathory.

Zeke said as he looked at Bathory.

“…I know how the Count feels. However we must also assume that the Guardian Dragon may already be dead.”

At those words Bathory struck the Herzion he was wearing with his fist and said.

“This Hersion was created by Eos himself. As long as this light does not disappear it is certain that Eos is alive.”

“Does this mean that the Guardian Dragon and Hersion are connected?”

Zeke thought about what those words meant then got up from his seat and walked towards Bathory.

Then he took a closer look at the Herzion that Bathory was wearing.

“I’m sorry Count but please excuse me for a moment.”

“what?”

Zig reached out and grabbed Bathory’s Hersion connecting the system.

Then he ordered the central power plant of Herzion to be opened.

Cheeeeeeeing!

The center of Hersion on his chest opened revealing a brilliantly shining red jewel in the middle.

Zeke looked surprised at this.

“It’s the Dragon Heart. Eos must have loved your family so much that he planted his bones and heart here.”

Bathory looked even more surprised at Zeke’s words.

Although I inherited Hersion from the Red King and learned how to use it from Eos I didn’t know that it contained a dragon heart.

Zeke who smiled bitterly at her reaction placed his hand on the dragon heart in Hersion.

Woohoo!

The Dragon Heart vibrated strongly as if rejecting Zeke’s touch.

Then Zeke clicked his tongue and said.

“This is to find your master so don’t rebel and cooperate.”

Zeke used his dragon energy to neutralize Dragon Heart’s resistance and used the system to connect to the Akashic Code.

Woohoo!

In an instant a red aura rippled from Dragon Heart and Hersion.

Information about Eos and Dragon Heart flowed into Zeke’s head.

Wooooow!

Zig who had been receiving the information quickly let go and stepped back.

“Phew.”

Soon Bathory’s Hersion closed again and returned to its original appearance.

Bathory who saw this took a step back with a wary expression and spoke to Zeke.

“Zeke Draker… what on earth is your identity?”

“I am just me. There is nothing else. But.”

He spoke to Bathory with a serious expression.

“Eos’ condition seems worse than I thought. Her mind seems to be being polluted. If we’re not careful she could lose her ego.”

At those words Bathory was startled and sat up again.

“What does that mean! Then how on earth do I….”

“Calm down. If we have that Hersion we can pinpoint where Eos is. Instead the Count must trust me and help me.”

At Zeke’s words Bathory looked at him quietly and then nodded.

“…I understand. I will cooperate with you if only you can save Eos. However if you do anything suspicious I will immediately cut off your head and skewer you.”

“He must be the successor to the Thorn King. He must be so fierce.”

But then it happened.

“huh?”

Zeke lifted his head and looked up.

He felt an ominous aura coming from the direction of Jupiter Castle and ran straight out of the barracks.

His senses were a bit late in sensing the abnormal phenomenon because of the energy covering the valley.

Kookookookookook!

The energy surging from the direction of Jupiter’s Castle was something that Sieg had felt in the underground labyrinth of Siemens.

‘The Watchman of the End.’

Zeke said as he looked at Bathory who followed him.

“It seems like Castro has touched something he shouldn’t have.”

He levitated into the air and gave her a command that wasn’t a command.

“Count go to Jupiter Castle immediately and evacuate all citizens.”

Zick continued with a stern expression.

“Otherwise everyone in the castle will die.”

* * *

Kookookookookook!

The gates of Jupiter Castle which had been tightly closed opened.

The Black Spirits who had been waiting after receiving a call from Boris sent a signal to the headquarters when they saw that the gate was open.

Pishuuuuung!

The wizard Zeros shot a magical signal into the sky.

Clone who was leading the Black Spirits made a gesture at the signal.

“Let’s dig into the castle and take over one gate first. Then we’ll secure strongholds one by one…”

But something about the atmosphere was strange.

I thought the inside of the castle gates would be chaotic due to the activities of the spy group but it was excessively quiet.

Cloone spoke to Felix who was standing next to her.

“Take a few Felixes and find out what’s going on.”

“Captain why do you always ask me to do dangerous things…?”

“Do you want to go with the right answer or just go with the wrong answer?”

Eventually Felix avoided Cloone and grumbling took Diego and Aster into the castle.

“Hmm?”

Surprisingly there were no knights or soldiers guarding the castle walls.

Diego tilted his head at him as if he found it strange.

“Something seems strange?”

Aster nodded as if he agreed with those words.

But then it happened.

“Eww!”

A few soldiers came running towards them screaming like madmen.

As Diego and Aster prepared to cut them down with their swords Felix raised his hand to stop them.

“wait for a sec.”

One of the soldiers his face ashen ran towards them foaming at the mouth as if he had seen a monster and grabbed them clearly the enemy and shouted.

“Run away! You have to run away from here!”

The other soldiers except for him just ran away like crazy with terrified faces. After that mercenaries and soldiers started running out one by one mixed together.

Felix and his party seeing this sensed that something had happened in the castle.

“Let’s go back and report to the captain…”

But then it happened.

Kaaaaaaah!

A huge roar echoed throughout the castle.

The three men raised their heads and looked towards the direction of the sound. It was the highest tower of Jupiter Castle and something was seen climbing up it.

Felix opened his mouth wide and examined his teeth.

“What the hell… what is that?”

A huge black worm with many arms was climbing the tower.

Diego looked at Gochi with his eyes wide open and cried out in shock.

“Wow! There are people crowded together on that surface!”

The gochi which had been using its tentacles to capture mercenaries knights and soldiers of Jupiter Castle climbed up the tower to digest them.

Following its instincts the gochi climbed to the highest place and stretched out its tentacles in all directions.

Choaaa …

Hundreds of long tentacles stretched out from the tower to the other towers and the walls.

In the center of it all Gochi curled up as if he was hatching an egg.

After a while small protrusions began to grow on the tentacles that Kochi had stretched out in all directions.

Kururururuk―

The protrusions quickly grew and became large hanging in clusters like fruit on tree branches.

The rapidly growing fruits once they reached a certain size began to spurt out something along with mucus as if their water had burst.

Kaaaaaaah!

From the hundreds of fruits emerged a hideous-looking demon with six arms and six eyes.

The demons that had been hanging on the tentacles for a moment began to climb down the walls and towers.

Kaaaah!

With the commander gone the soldiers and mercenary knights hiding throughout the castle began to be attacked by the devil.

“Heeeeek!”

The rushing demons had hard shells like crustaceans and spat out acidic mucus.

Although the knights were able to somehow push away the demons with their auras the regular soldiers and mercenaries were unable to properly respond to the demons.

“Kkaaaak!”

Felix turned his gaze to the sound that echoed nearby. A mercenary covered in acidic liquid rolled down the wall in agony.

The bodies of the fallen mercenaries were picked up by the tentacles scattered everywhere and taken to Gochi.

The creature moved its tentacles and limbs greedily to bring food as if it were trying to devour all living things within the castle of Jupiter.

Even the Breaker mercenary group which symbolized bravery were too busy throwing down their weapons and running away unable to think of fighting against the tentacles and demons created by Gochi.

Doo doo doo doo!

Even hiding with the commander gone was no use. Eventually the number of mercenaries and soldiers who were forced out of the castle to avoid the evil spirits from all sides increased.

Then the knights swung their swords at the fleeing soldiers and shouted.

“Follow my orders! Otherwise there is only death!”

So the soldiers had no choice but to move around in confusion with the horseman behind them and the knight’s sword in front.

In an instant the city of Jupiter was thrown into chaos.

As Felix watched the chaotic situation something suddenly popped into his head.

“Even the Knights aren’t responding properly. Wait a minute what about the citizens of Jupiter?”

He had seen firsthand the horrific atrocities committed by Abel in Rome and he could not stand by and watch innocent civilians being sacrificed.

Felix said to Diego and Aster.

“Diego Aster. I will go inside and help the citizens of Jupiter escape so go out and inform the Captain of the situation.”

Diego and Aster nodded to Felix’s words and without wasting any time ran straight out of the gate.

Felix on the other hand ran quickly into the castle.

Krrrrrrrr―

As Felix tried to enter the castle demons rushed at him from all directions.

Choaaa …

Felix used the swordsmanship he learned from Baord the Arch Paladin of the Holy Kingdom and cut through the demons in one breath.

Before he knew it the Black Spirit Squad’s exclusive Hersion was equipped all over his body.

As he held out his left hand his gauntlet unfolded and a shield appeared.

“Chahaaaat!”

Felix used his Arch Paladin’s shield to block the tentacles flying towards him while swinging his sword to cut them all down.

Kieeeeeee!

Acidic liquid was sprayed everywhere but to Felix who was wearing Hersion it was like a drizzle.

He dug further in heading towards the downtown area of ​​Jupiter.

Then in the city center several citizens were seen gathered together holding weapons that could be used to fight off the demons.

Felix ran straight towards them.

Kwakwakwang!

He swung his shield to blow away the demons and cut off all the tentacles with his sword.

Cheeeeeeek―

The acidic solution corroded the surrounding walls and wooden planks causing smoke to rise.

The citizens of Jupiter were shocked to see the knight who suddenly appeared.

Felix shouted at the citizens.

“I’ve come to save you all! Follow me so we can get out of here!”
