A Dragonslayer’s Peerless Regression – 593



Episode 593

King Notales and the nobles gulped at the one word Zeke spoke.

Normally I would have been furious at such insulting language and immediately called the executioners and ordered them to drag Zeke away but I was so overwhelmed by the aura of intimidation emanating from him that I couldn’t open my mouth.

In particular King Notales who had locked eyes with Zeke was trembling all over as if he would collapse at any moment.

He looked in disbelief at the bloodshot eyes shining brightly on Zeke’s forehead.

‘Seriously bloodshot eyes? How on earth?’

None of the holy bloods of Tantra have had such clear blood eyes as Zigg has now.

Moreover there was a power so strong in Zeke’s bloodshot eyes that it could be felt even from afar.

As the nobles including King Notales stood there helpless Saruhan who was standing next to them shouted.

“You are the rightful heir to Shambhala! You who bear the name of the Blood King! Our true master commands you to kneel!”

He glared threateningly at King Notales and the nobles and cursed.

“The great Blood King has arrived in the kingdom! Shouldn’t you kneel down immediately!”

At Saruhan’s shout several young nobles knelt down in confusion.

But King Notales soon gathered strength in his body and glared at Saruhan with his brow furrowed.

“What are you Captain Saruhan doing now?”

Saruhan responded with a fierce expression.

“Fake king. Now that Tantra has welcomed its true master immediately lay down your crown and ask for mercy from the Blood King.”

Notales’ face twisted as he looked at Saruhan who had referred to himself as a false king.

He shouted trying hard to ignore the power he felt from Zeke.

“Where did you get such a plausible fake to talk nonsense! You will pay the price for daring to insult the great king of Tantra!”

Tsk tsk tsk―

At that moment bloodshot eyes began to appear on King Notales’ forehead.

When the power of the Three Eyes was revealed in his bloodshot eyes not only the low-ranking dancers and attendants but even the high-ranking nobles trembled and knelt before him.

The power of the Samjian was to be able to subdue not only the spirit but also the soul of the being it looked at with bloodshot eyes so it was impossible to escape from the will of the ideal contained in his sight.

However there was no change at all in the look in Zeke’s eyes as he looked at King Notales.

‘How can this be?’

He wanted to use his powers to penetrate Zeke’s mind.

Tsk tsk tsk tsk―

Then the red bloodshot eyes that appeared on Zeke’s forehead began to glow even brighter and soon he shot red energy towards King Notales’ bloodshot eyes.

Cheeeeeeek―

King Notales’ bloodshot eyes began to burn as he was directly hit by the red energy rising from Zeke’s bloodshot eyes.

“Keep keaaaak!”

King Notales collapsed and rolled on the floor in agony as if his brain was going to burst.

At the same time he felt his brain being ripped apart piece by piece.

Zeke’s bloodshot eyes were looking into everything about him.

“Oh no! Go away! Go away!”

King Notales was completely subdued by Zeke’s bloodlust and even his mind and soul were conquered.

“Ughh …

A moment later King Notales became completely idiotic with a bloodshot scar on his forehead unfocused and drool dripping from his mouth.

Saruhan who was behind Zeke broke out in a cold sweat as he saw King Notales being subdued by Zeke without even being able to exert his full strength.

‘To suppress the king’s bloodlust in one breath….’

The reason Notales was able to become the king of Tantra was because his power was stronger than anyone else in the kingdom.

Anyone who faced his bloodshot eyes including the Samjian clan could never escape the scope of his power.

The power of King Notales was crushed in one breath by Jig.

Zeke walked slowly towards the throne and sat down on the empty throne.

Sitting on the throne looking down at the Great Hall Zigg looked like he was more worthy of the title of Ruler than anyone else.

Zeke said as he looked at Saruhan.

“Summon all the key high-ranking nobles of the kingdom immediately.”

He said with a cold look in his eyes.

“Tell them that a new king has come here.”

* * *

Doo doo doo doo doo!

Armed soldiers and sorcerers swarmed in front of the Tantra Palace.

They were high-ranking nobles and their private soldiers within the kingdom.

The nobles of the Holy Blood had come with private soldiers to behead the man who had usurped the palace and proclaimed himself the ‘new king’.

In an instant thousands of troops gathered in front of the palace.

The nobles of the Holy Blood moved their troops behind them and entered the palace.

Chuck! Chuck! Chuck! Chuck!

The nobles expected that the usurper would close the palace gates and launch a siege.

But surprisingly all the palace doors were wide open.

Tosabid the head of the Arakjimun family the most powerful of the nobles of the Holy Blood furrowed his brows and led his troops into the palace.

‘The usurper who subdued King Notales and became the new king.’

It is not known how he killed King Notales and usurped the throne. It was clearly a situation that required caution but Tosavid instead sought to use it as an opportunity.

King Notales was at a considerable disadvantage in the power struggle as he came from a rival family.

However since a usurper appeared and got rid of King Notales from his point of view he could use this to establish a new king.

‘The question is how he managed to surprise King Notales. He could have attacked him while the king was under the influence of drugs. In any case with this number of troops we should be able to subdue him no matter what method he used.’

He envisioned a new future unfolding before him.

‘If I can elect a new king from the Arakjimun family… I can hold the Tantra Kingdom in my hands and shake it.’

Tantra was a secret kingdom within the Eternal Mountains but it monopolized all the rare resources hidden there and enslaved other races within the mountains allowing its nobles to lead very affluent lives.

The lower classes had to fight a life-threatening battle with the demons every day but for the upper-class nobles it was like paradise so they tried to maintain the current order by any means possible.

And the one at the top among them is the king.

Tosabid mounted on an elephant raised his head and looked at the palace.

It already felt like the palace was his.

But then it happened.

“what?”

A black shape was seen floating in the air.

The black figure slowly descended towards the troops of the other noble families including Tosabid.

thud!

It was a strange four-armed being that had landed in the square in front of the palace.

‘What is that…?’

It was when the Tantric troops were embarrassed and could not come forward hastily after seeing Caligula.

Caligula’s three eyes began to glow red as he settled down.

Tsk tsk tsk tsk―

Although he became the Shadow Guardian Caligula was originally the Blood King who ruled the Samjian clan.

As he unleashed the power of his bloodshot eyes bloodshot eyes appeared on the foreheads of not only the nobles but also the soldiers.

“Kkaaaak!”

The nobles who had strong bloodshot eyes reacted more strongly to Caligula’s power.

The Holy Blood Tosabid could not help but scream in agony as if his brain was burning.

“Euuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”

Unable to bear the pain Tosabi tossed and turned misstepped and fell from his seat on the elephant’s back.

Phew!

Even though my shoulder hit the floor and my arm was dislocated it was nothing compared to the pain of my brain burning out.

It wasn’t just Tosabid who couldn’t come to his senses.

The other Holy Bloods who had led the soldiers also writhe in pain.

The soldiers of lower rank suffered less than these but in the midst of the chaos they were unable to move quickly because they had no orders from their master.

The nobles and their soldiers who were trying to storm the palace were instantly neutralized by the bloodthirsty power that Caligula had unleashed.

At that moment someone slowly walked out of the palace.

Kookookookookook!

An absolute ruler who approaches by following a path of shadows rising from the ground while clad in shadow armor.

Zeke had made his appearance.

Caligula who was emitting an incredible amount of bloodshot eyes also stepped aside with a respectful attitude as Zeke approached.

Zig looked down at the Tantric nobles and their private soldiers gathered in the square.

As he raised his hand Caligula closed his eyes.

Tsk tsk tsk―

The red eye symbol engraved on their foreheads sank.

At the same time the burning pain in my brain subsided.

“Ugh ugh.”

The nobles of the Holy Blood were only able to come to their senses when the pain subsided.

They barely managed to make eye contact with Zeke who was standing in front of Caligula and looking down at them.

And when they saw the bloodshot eyes shining brightly on Zeke’s forehead they realized.

How greatly they were mistaken.

‘He is not a usurper. This is the one….’

‘The true king.’

‘The successor of Shambhala.’

Even without saying a word the great power of the Blood King felt from Zeke was enough to subjugate them in an instant.

All the nobles of the Holy Blood knelt before Zig and bowed their heads.

“Greetings to the great Blood King!”

“True master!”

“Forgive our rudeness!”

Zik looked at the Tantra nobles with sunken eyes.

Even though he only looked on all the nobles of the Holy Blood swore loyalty to him.

Seeing this Zeke felt once again how great the power of Blood King Caligula was.

‘Even after thousands of years it still has an impact on its descendants.’

It seemed that I knew how deeply rooted the power of the Three Eyes was.

Zeke chose the most high-ranking of the kneeling ones and ordered them to come forward.

He was immediately ordered to go next to Zigg as he was assigned to be the Tosabi of the most powerful Arakji family.

“Did you call O king?”

Zig sat on a throne made of shadows and looked at the kneeling army in the square and asked Tosabid.

“Is it possible to set up a magic circle that can communicate with the outside world or move through a portal?”

Tosabid looked embarrassed at Zig’s words.

“I apologize Your Majesty. Although we have powers that have been passed down from ancient times what you have said is beyond our ability.”

Although it was possible to use Mandra to create an excellent magic circle it seemed to be ignorant of the magic system of the Central Continent.

‘It’s a problem because it’s such an isolated place that communication itself isn’t easy.’

Whether it was by chance or an arrangement unknown to Zeke since he had come here he had subdued the Tantra Kingdom but there was no reason to waste any more time here.

Eventually we had to move to the Central Continent but the problem was that we couldn’t use the system portal in the Everlasting Mountains.

The system portal that could be used with karma points was a convenient feature but the area it could operate in was limited so it seemed like I would have to go outside the Mannyeonsan Mountains and into the territory of the Murk Empire.

Zig looked at Tosabid and asked.

“Is this all there is to Tantra?”

Tosabid shook his head at those words.

“Those gathered here are the private soldiers of the Holy Blood Family. There are garrisons guarding the border and a central standing army.”

“Is the Central Army’s job to defeat the evil spirits that invade the kingdom?”

“That is mostly true but it is more about preparing for conflicts with external enemies Your Majesty.”

Zik turned his head at Tosabid’s words.

“If you mean external are you talking about the Muruk Empire?”

“No Your Majesty. Within the Mannen Mountains not only the Tantric Kingdom but also other races live in groups.”

“They are a different race. Are you saying that you are having a territorial dispute with them?”

“They invade farms managed by the kingdom steal food and kidnap slaves which often leads to battles.”

Listening to Tosabid’s words Zeke was able to understand how the inside of the Mannyeon Mountain Range was formed.

‘It seems that the Samjian clan of the Tantra Kingdom is at the top of the food chain. They enslave other races. There are also races that rebel against such a system.’

The Tantric kingdom was divided into classes based on the blood rank system and people from other tribes were treated like livestock and forced to do hard labor.

Zig said as he looked at Tosabid.

“You have joined hands with outside warlocks in order to maintain this system that you rule.”

Tosabid’s expression darkened at Zeke’s words.

In fact the Tantric kingdom joined hands with the Abyss to dominate other races and solidify their own vested interests.

They helped open the gates to the Mannen Mountains and secured the safety of the farmlands using the demons they controlled.

Additionally they used the power of the Abyss to suppress other races that rebelled against them.

In the case of the weak and vulnerable races they had no choice but to survive by working on the farms they created.

Zig wanted to completely change the structural system of Tantra which had become so rotten that it was falling apart.

He turned his head away from the tossabide and opened his mouth towards the front.

【As the true master of Shambhala I declare.】

Zeke’s voice humming and echoing in my head spread across the square and throughout the kingdom.

【As of today the blood rank system of the Tantra Kingdom is abolished.】
