A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 582



Episode 582

At Mephistopheles’s words the mirrors projecting the other overlords began to vibrate strongly.

Kiiiiiing―

The voices of the rulers of the Abyss the <Merciless Ruler> and the <Unwavering Ruler of Strictness> resounded loudly.

[Reviving Babel!]

[You bastard! What the hell are you planning to do!]

Babel the first city in the Demon World created by an arrogant savior.

Babel continued to expand its unstable territory until it eventually collapsed on its own.

After the arrogant savior who supported it was sealed in the phenomenal world the rate of collapse accelerated even more and the demons had to use great force to stabilize the unstable world that seemed ready to collapse at any moment.

Because of that the Demon World was divided into four districts and maintained its current form.

But even so the world was still unstable and the demons had no choice but to constantly increase their followers and fight with other demons to protect their territory.

Mephistopheles looked into the mirror and said:

“The reason we have no choice but to continue to struggle is because this world is unstable. But! With the power of an arrogant savior it is possible to build a stable world like the old Babel!”

At those words the master of Gehenna the <Master of Unquenchable Passion> spoke.

[Babel also collapsed on its own unable to handle the power. Do you think that now with the power of an arrogant savior you can stabilize the demon world?]

Mephistopheles shook his head at the words of the <Master of Unquenchable Passion>.

“That’s because the arrogant savior brought fragments of forgotten time that were constantly disappearing expanding the realm of the demon world.”

He spoke with a regretful expression as he recalled the past.

“The arrogant savior was as arrogant as his name suggests. He wanted to save all the civilizations that were about to disappear. Among them were some that were just trash and not worth saving.”

Mephistopheles’ eyes flashed purple.

“The new Babel will not be as complacent as the arrogant savior created it. It will be a more stable world than the present one.”

The other overlords were silent after hearing Mephistopheles’ words.

As a great monarch creating a demon world that was not as unstable as it is now was a proposal that appealed to him.

The problem was that the one who brought the proposal was the devil himself Mephistopheles.

At that time the ruler of Abaddon <Master of the Abyss> opened his mouth.

[Devil Chapter So what is your plan? Are you going to capture the human who inherited the power of the arrogant savior tear his soul to pieces and use that power to create Babel?]

At those words Mephistopheles shook his head.

“The power of the arrogant savior doesn’t work that way.”

He paused for a moment then opened his mouth again.

“I wish to appoint my successor as the great monarch of the Demon World.”

At Mephistopheles’ words the mirror began to vibrate violently again.

[Humans as Overlords?]

[You’re crazy! I can never admit it!]

Despite the strong reaction Mephistopheles smiled and said.

“I’m not saying that we should acknowledge it right away. We can hold a meeting of the Grand Monarchs and meet him in person before making a decision. If we think that he is not worthy of being a monarch….”

Mephistopheles’ eyes were filled with a gloomy murderous gaze.

His momentum was transmitted to other monarchs through the mirror.

Then the <Master of Unquenchable Passion> spoke first.

[Then I agree. I will see him at the council of the Grand Monarchs and judge him.]

He also expressed his approval for <The Merciless Ruler> and <The Unwavering Ruler of Strictness>.

If they did not meet and attain the dignity of a monarch they would tear out his soul and devour it themselves.

Finally the <Master of the Abyss> spoke.

[This time let’s accept the devil’s offer.]

The conversation ended with the decision to open a meeting of the Grand Monarchs and soon the shadows that had been rippling in the mirror disappeared.

In the room where he was left alone Mephistopheles was holding a glass of wine his arms crossed and a strange smile on his face.

‘The new overlord of the demon world.’

His eyes flashed with mysterious colors whose exact light was unknown.

* * *

Zeke prepared to go out with Mephistopheles to attend the meeting of the Overlords.

In order to handle the unstable realm of the demon world the great monarchs stayed in the depths they had created and maintained this world with their own power.

Since the stability of the realm could be shaken if such great monarchs were to leave thorough advance preparation was necessary.

After completing his preparations Zeke sat in a magnificent carriage pulled by six giant dimensional beasts that resembled dragons.

Then he looked at Mephistopheles who was sitting across from him with a rather uncomfortable look.

He was possessed inside an automaton that had the appearance of a noble lady with purple hair not his original form.

Mephistopheles felt Zeke’s gaze and smiled seductively.

“Your gaze is hot.”

Zeke said as he looked at Mephistopheles like that.

“The automata I made are like that too… I understand that you are a dangerous being in many ways.”

At Zeke’s accusation Mephistopheles opened his fan waved his hand and said:

“Don’t misunderstand. I just like things that are naturally beautiful. In the first place constellations don’t even have genders.”

Mephistopheles took out a mirror looked at the face of the automaton he had made flesh and smiled with satisfaction at himself.

“What do you think? This doll is one of my favorites. It’s based on a woman from a civilization that once disappeared and was famous for her beauty.”

Mephistopheles leaned towards Zeke and said.

“How is it? Isn’t this beauty enough to capture your heart?”

If it were a normal human man his appearance would have been beautiful enough to pass by just by looking at him but it didn’t work on Zeke at all.

He said pushing away the leaning Mephistopheles as if he found it annoying.

“It’s disgusting get out of here.”

Mephistopheles laughed even more cheerfully at Zeke’s words.

“The more I look at him the more amazing he is. That must be why he was able to transcend the status of a transcendent being and attain divinity.”

Zeke listened to Mephistopheles’ words with one ear and let it go then looked out the window.

The six horsemen leading the carriage were running through the rift between dimensions.

A myriad of lights flashed past the carriage as if stars were streaming.

Zeke looked at this and asked Mephistopheles.

“Where are you going now? Aren’t you going to the conference room?”

Mephistopheles shook his head at his words.

“No matter how great the ice body is if the great monarchs gather in one place the balance of the demon world will collapse. It would be a better method to create a temporary area in the dimensional rift and gather there and then disperse.”

It seems that having reigned over the demon world for a long time they have found their own way to gather safely.

As we were talking I felt the carriage enter a realm somewhere passing through a dimensional gap that flowed like starlight.

Kugugugugugu―

Then a strong vibration occurred that shook the entire carriage.

When Zeke looked outside again he saw a world filled with nothing but the ocean.

‘A unique area? No… It’s more like a temporary area created by fixing some of the fragments of broken time.’

It occurred to me that there might have been a world like this in the phenomenal world at some point.

The dimension number flapped its wings with all its might and flew into the middle of the sea.

A single island was visible standing alone in the vast ocean.

At the very center of the island stood an old castle.

The dimension number pulled the carriage there.

Kookookookook!

Soon the carriage landed in front of the castle.

As Zeke and Mephistopheles got out of the carriage someone approached them.

“Welcome Your Majesty.”

A demon wearing a monocle and a suit bowed politely to Mephistopheles.

Zig could feel a strong energy coming from the old demon who bowed his head.

‘I guess we can consider this a top-tier demon.’

Mephistopheles greeted him briefly and then looked at Zeke and said:

“Let me introduce you to Zeke Draker. He is the butler Shamos who manages the Grand Council Hall. He was once a vassal of the arrogant Savior so I guess we have a connection.”

At those words Shamos raised his head and looked at Zig.

Then soon his eyes changed.

It seemed as if Zeke had noticed that he had absorbed the soul of the arrogant savior.

Shamos his eyes bright looked as if he couldn’t understand how a human could absorb the soul of a great overlord.

Mephistopheles seeing him like that spread out his fan and said.

“Come on butler. I know you have a lot to ask but let me give you some guidance first. If we delay any longer the other overlords will cause a huge uproar.”

Shamos seemed to have mixed feelings but he didn’t show it. Instead he bowed his head respectfully and guided them into the castle.

Kookookookook!

In the Great Monarch’s Conference Hall created in the temporary area there were quite a few employees including Shamos scattered throughout.

As Zeke looked at these employees he realized that each and every one of them was a high-level demon or higher.

‘Could it be that they are all vassals and followers of the arrogant savior?’

The castle’s employees looked at Zig with surprised expressions as if his thoughts were correct.

I felt the arrogant savior’s aura flowing from Zeke.

Seeing this Mephistopheles smiled and said:

“You’re very popular Zeke Draker.”

Zeke furrowed his brows as he looked at Mephistopheles who was smiling mischievously thinking that it was difficult to tell how much of this great devil was serious and how much was a joke.

Meanwhile guided by Shamos the two arrived at the castle’s convention hall.

And when the door opened an amazing sight unfolded.

“Khaaaaaaa!”

“Chahaaaa!”

A muscular demon with a completely red body and a muscular demon with a completely blue body were arm wrestling on the conference hall table.

Behind her sat a voluptuous woman with horns on her head her eyes closed and across from her sat an undead with its face engulfed in blue flames.

‘<The Merciless Ruler> <The Ruler of Unwavering Strictness> and <The Master of Unquenchable Passion> and <The Ruler of the Abyss>.’

The great monarchs who rule the demon world were gathered in one place.

The demon lord Mephistopheles waved his hand at them.

“Hey you all still have faces that make me want to kill you!”

It was Mephistopheles who started off with a cheerful greeting as befitting the devil.

The <Merciless Ruler> and the <Unwavering Ruler of Strictness> who had been arm wrestling frowned at Mephistopheles.

“Devil’s Field! What is that weak-looking thing!”

“It’s so disgusting I can’t stand it!”

The two great demons who fought fiercely over the Abyss region clashed the most and had many similarities.

Mephistopheles ignored the two archdemons’ words and sat down in the empty seat of honor.

And then she said with a seductive smile.

“Okay everyone is probably busy so let’s get to the point quickly.”

He snapped his fingers.

Then a platform and lights appeared where Zeke was standing creating a stage for him.

Mephistopheles said with a smile.

“Today’s main character! The human who inherited the soul of the arrogant savior Zeke Draker! Waaah!”

It was Mephistopheles clapping and cheering alone.

Then the <Merciless Overlord> a red muscular body with horns sticking straight up made an expression of interest.

“Hmm so you’re that Zeke Draker. I heard from Gusion or rather the <Judge of the Ceaseless Struggle>. He said you’re a very interesting guy.”

At those words the <Unwavering Ruler of Strictness> standing next to him snorted and shouted at Zeke.

“Human! How dare a human like you dare become the overlord of the Demon World! I absolutely cannot accept it! You were supposed to see it and decide right? After seeing it I can’t accept it even more!”

Zeke looked at the two loud demons.

Then he slowly opened his mouth.

“Baal the merciless ruler; Agares the unwavering ruler of strictness.”

Phage phage phage!

Just saying the true name of the Great Demon caused a causal aftershock to blow.

But Zeke paid no attention to this and opened his mouth again.

“Come out. I will deal with you myself.”
