A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 589



Episode 589

“What? Using Zeke as bait?”

Nabu looked back at Ivan with an expression of disbelief.

Then Ivan nodded and said.

“In the current situation the only being who meets the conditions to become the Demon King’s vessel is Zeke Draker.”

I had hoped so but I never thought the chief would really try to use Zeke.

Then the leader slowly opened his mouth.

“It’s not enough to describe Zeke Draker as a mere decoy. He is a defiant of fate. He is the only being with the variable that can break the wheel.”

He said as he looked at Nigel and Naboo.

“Arthur Draker and the constellations of the heavens will have no choice but to pay attention to Zeke Draker who will become the only body of the Demon King. They will take advantage of the gap when the Demon King descends into his body to break this endless vicious cycle.”

Nigel gripped his sword tightly at the chief’s words.

“You little punk!”

She shouted at the chief with a strong murderous aura.

“Could this be the reason why Zeke regressed?”

After Zeke and his soul connected Nigel had recovered his memories of his previous life.

She knew how much despair and pain Zeke had lived through in his past life as well as the process he had gone through to become stronger.

After such a miserable death Zeke had been constantly trying to gain a new life and not repeat the same mistakes. However when his fate was about to be decided by someone else again he could not hold back his surging anger and exploded.

The chief continued speaking his face hidden by his robe.

“I am only faithful to the mission given to me.”

Nabu also ground his teeth at his words.

“I don’t know what the bloody mission is but if it means sacrificing Zeke Draker I will never go along with it.”

When Nigel and Nabu showed their hostility the chieftain reached out to them.

Pfft pfft pfft!

Then the aftereffects of karma began to occur in the two people’s bodies.

Nabu shouted at the chieftain.

“Ha! You’re really going to make me and Nigel go down the rabbit hole right now? Chief are you crazy?”

Although there were some aspects of him that felt questionable Nabu had no doubt that his intentions were good.

But the leader’s actions now clearly cross the line.

Ivan approached the chief and said.

“We need the strength of those two to stop Arthur Draker.”

At his words of dissuade red eyes flashed from the chieftain’s robes.

“If it’s going to interfere with the crack that will shatter the wheel of destiny it’s better to rule it out now. This is an arrangement that has taken a very long time to prepare.”

Ivan shook his head.

“They are the ones who have been at the forefront of maintaining the balance of the phenomenal world. If you persuade them sincerely they will surely understand your intentions.”

In the situation where the Chieftain and Nigel Nabu were facing each other Manna who had been still slowly opened her eyes and spoke.

“Would you please listen to what I have to say for now?”

He said turning the prayer beads.

“I sense a being with strong hostility approaching this place at high speed.”

Nabu opened his eyes wide in surprise at Manna’s words.

“Arthur Draker! He’s coming!”

Ivan after hearing Manna’s words said to the chieftain.

“Now is not the time to do this.”

The chief nodded to Ivan’s words and slowly lowered his hand.

Only then did the aftershocks of causality that had been occurring in Nigel and Nabu’s bodies subside.

Ivan said to Nigel and Nabu Manna.

“We need to clear the castle before they come. With the High Table down there’s a lot more work to do. Help me.”

Manna quietly clasped her hands together and bowed her head and Nabu glared at the chief but soon nodded.

The last remaining Nigel slowly lowered his sword aimed at the chief and spoke in a sharp voice.

“For now I will follow suit since the situation is urgent. However if there is even the slightest sign of trying to use Zeke….”

Kugugugugugu!

A storm of energy surged through Nigel’s body.

She spoke in a voice full of life.

“I will stop you with all the strength of my soul.”

“Eeeeeeeeek!”

Release looked at Zigg drooling as if in pain.

Zeke who had gained the right to force the soul body to execute by releasing her seal had a relaxed expression on his face.

He said as he watched the release.

“You called me here to absorb my soul.”

Release had planned to seduce Zeke and absorb his soul after learning that he was the successor to the arrogant Savior.

But Lilith shook her head looking at Zigg with a pitiful face as he realized the whole situation.

“Great monarch you are mistaken. I never planned such a thing.”

Despite having just absorbed the soul power from Zeke Lilith shamelessly denied what she had done.

The reason she could do this was because of her unique power ‘Charm’.

There were quite a few beings in the Demon World who could use the ability to seduce or control their targets.

But most of them were ones that forcibly influenced the subject’s mind.

However the power of release was the power to make the subject feel good about her by acting on her soul.

Emotions were something that was difficult to control by anything and this was also the case for the divine constellations.

Many constellations despite being fully aware of Lilith’s shameless and heinous evil deeds turned a blind eye to her wrongdoings and instead fell for her even more.

The only constellation that could withstand her fascination and imprison her was the arrogant Savior.

He too was smitten enough to accept Lilith as his companion but he was strong-minded enough to make a final decision when he saw her increasingly evil and greedy.

Zig said as he looked at the release.

“What you have done has already been deeply impressed upon me through the memory of the arrogant savior.”

Release’s expression changed as soon as he heard Zeke’s words.

“…You came down here knowing everything?”

“I was hesitant because the memory of the arrogant savior is not perfect. I think there is something but I think I will have to experience it to find out.”

Zeke had deliberately fallen into a trap in order to regain the memories of the arrogant savior and the divinity that resided within her body through release.

When Lilith absorbed Zeke’s power Zeke was able to use the system in reverse to forcibly connect to her seal and interpret her soul body.

The reason this was possible was because a part of the soul of the arrogant savior was mixed into Lilith’s soul body.

Through this Zeke was able to interpret the seal of release and subjugate the soul body as well.

Zig examined the phrase he had dragged in front of him among the spread out strings.

The text was none other than the forced contract between Release and the arrogant Savior’s followers.

Lilith’s expression hardened as she watched Zeke read that part.

‘If this continues I will lose everything.’

She activated her unique power Fascination to the fullest.

Her power which acts directly on the soul rather than the mind or body cannot be resolutely rejected by any constellation.

Even now he was in a situation where he could absorb Zeke’s power and exert his authority to the fullest.

She spoke to Zeke with the power of fascination.

“Great monarch! Please listen to my words.”

Although Lilith spoke her words of appeal with earnestness Zeke paid her no attention and focused on reading the sentences.

Release was perplexed when Zeke showed no reaction even though he had unleashed his full power.

‘How can this be?’

Zik paid no attention to the release and turned his head towards Shamos beside him.

He said to Shamos.

“Shamos.”

When his name was called Shamos looked confused and raised his head towards Zeke.

“Oh great monarch.”

“You brought me here.”

Shamos clenched his teeth at Zig’s words.

Although it was something he had to do under Lilith’s orders he could not deny that he had trapped Zeke.

He knelt before Zeke.

“…I will not make excuses. Please Your Majesty take away this wretched life that I have continued for so long.”

Shamos prepared to lose his soul entrusted his life to Zeke.

Zik looked down at the shamos and then raised his hand toward the string in front of him.

Woof woof woof!

At his gestures the text on the string began to erase.

When Lilith saw this she screamed in horror.

“Oh no!”

Because he was holding the arrogant savior’s followers together by oath he was able to exert some power even in the confinement.

If the oath that bound them were to disappear her way out of this place would be blocked forever.

It was when Lilith was about to rush towards Zeke.

Clang! Clang!

Solomon’s chains shot out from the floor and wrapped around Lilith.

Lilith looked at the chains that bound her and shouted at Zeke.

“Great monarch! Why have you done this to me?”

Zeke ignored the voice and spoke to Shamos who was released from the oath of release.

“You have entrusted your life to me so I will take it. Find the old relatives of the arrogant savior scattered throughout the Shamos Demon Realm. I will reign over them.”

Kookookookookook!

Shamos shed tears without realizing it at the aura of absolute dominance that was rising from Zeke.

‘This person is our true master!’

Shamos approached Zeke kissed his feet and swore his loyalty.

Only then did Zeke turn his head and look at the chained Lilith.

Release appealed to Zeke with pitiful eyes and voice.

“Great monarch… please….”

He spoke to Lilith in a voice completely devoid of emotion.

“I had intended to use you as my subordinate. But seeing the countless things you have ruined in the memories of the arrogant savior I can’t do that.”

“Leave it to me! I will be loyal to the great monarch! Please I will do whatever you ask!”

Zeke shook his head with a cold expression.

“When you tried to absorb my soul you should have considered that there might be a price to pay.”

Srrrrrrrr―

A shadow rose from beneath Zeke’s feet.

The chained Lilith screamed as she saw a shadow approaching her.

“Oh no! No!”

The shadow swallowed Lilith in one breath as she struggled to escape somehow.

Tsk tsk tsk tsk―

As Lilith was absorbed into the shadows Zeke felt the arrogant savior divinity that had been dwelling within her body transfer back into himself.

Wooooow!

Having absorbed the power that the original Lilith possessed Zeke has a greater understanding of the power of the arrogant savior than before.

Zeke looked satisfied as he felt more comfortable using his power and domain.

‘Okay and….’

Zeke reached out.

Then a shadow rose and a shape emerged.

Kugugugugug―

A shadow spirit resembling Lilith with black wings on her back appeared.

It was Zeke who created the shadow summons using Lilith’s soul.

[<Twisted Temptation’s Corruption> Release’s corrupted soul has been transformed into a shadow spirit.]

[The shadow spirit ‘Lilith’ submits to the immortal.]

[The rank of the subdued shadow spirit is high and the limits of the shadow spirit are exceeded.]

[Shadow Spirit ‘Lilith’ becomes Shadow Guardian ‘Lilith’ and is registered as the user’s guardian.]

Although Lilith was an evil being it is true that she had a strong enough soul to be granted divinity and so she became a shadow guardian like Caligula.

Release opened his mouth and bowed down to Zeke.

[I have become a completely new being subordinate to the great monarch. As a guardian spirit I will be loyal only to the monarch.]

Zeke smiled with satisfaction as he watched the Guardian Release completely subjugated to him.

Zeke nodded and got up from his seat.

Behind him followed Lilith who became Shamos and Guardian.

When I opened the door and went out surprisingly all the employees of the castle were gathered there bowing their heads waiting for Zeke to come out.

As Zeke had expected not only Shamos but all the employees in this castle were followers of the arrogant savior.

Those who had just broken their pact with Lilith had gathered to pledge their loyalty to Zeke who had saved them.

As Zeke passed among them the servants knelt down to his feet keeping pace with his steps.

They bowed their heads and swore their loyalty to Zeke as he walked down the hallway.

Having absorbed everything about the arrogant saviors Zeke naturally accepted their oath of loyalty.

Applause could be heard from across the hallway as all the employees prostrated themselves before Zeke and pledged their loyalty.

Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!

Mephistopheles appeared from the darkness.
