Dragon killing method?'
The definition of the True Dragon Sword left behind by Shatton Draker was a way for humans to kill dragons.
Zeke read through all the words he had left behind.
[With the help of the great hero king, humans were able to make a contract with the dragon, who was called the coordinator of all things.
Humans, who have many shortcomings compared to other races, have always been weak beings.
The dragon felt pity for such humans and generously shared his knowledge with the contractors.
After the King of Heroes, those who made a contract with the dragon began to settle down in various continents and create their own civilization.
The pace of development was so unbelievable that I was initially scared.
The fear I felt was of an incomprehensible being called a dragon.
If those beings with infinite power and knowledge suddenly change their minds one day and decide to erase humans from this world, all humans will disappear that day.
I tried hard to suppress the fear growing in my heart and looked for various ways in which humans could fight the dragon.
My first thought was magic.
But magic was the first boon dragons gave to humans.
He taught us how to create a circle in the human heart and generate magical powers like a dragon.
It was absurd to think that using magic to stop a magical race, the dragons.
The second was the Elemental Sword of the King of Heroes. However, this power was only granted to him who inherited the blood of the King of Fairies.
At first, I studied various ways in which an elemental sword could be used by a human.
Ironically, the one who most enthusiastically helped me with my research at this time was the Hero King's contract dragon, Kronos.
Kronos took an interest in my research and, using various magical experiments, the abilities of the Eastern Continent's Successors, and the Elemental Sword of the King of Heroes, he attempted to find a way to transcend human limitations.
And then Cronus and I eventually discovered a power called 'Aura'.
He found a way to manifest a type of power other than elemental power or magical power in the human body.
Having found a clue to how humans can overcome human limitations, I continued my research even after the King of Heroes left for the spirit world.
And finally, by completing the 'True Dragon Sword', he was able to completely control the power of the aura.
I delivered this True Dragon Sword not only to the Kingdom of Kronos, but to all human kingdoms.
It was a kind of desperate attempt to avoid disappearing in vain in case the dragon turned its back on humans.
The problem was that there was no one who could fully understand and use this True Dragon Sword.
To master Aura, you must go through arduous training and go through excruciating pain, but by using the artifacts created by the dragon, you can easily obtain much more powerful power.
So, because it was difficult to find a proper successor to my True Dragon Sword, I ended up leaving behind this secret book in the form of a scroll.
If there are any future generations who seek this vision book, I hope they will understand my intentions and study it diligently.]
Shatton Drake's instructions ended like this.
At the same time, a message came to mind.
―Achievement Quest (Intermediate Mission)―
[Learn the True Dragon Sword, the vision of the Black Swordsman Shaton Draker. (Time limit: 3 months)] [Quest Mission Reward: Successor of the Black Swordsman Title / Report Coordinates for the Kingdom of Kronos]
"As a reward, a report from the Kingdom of Kronos."
If it was a report from an ancient kingdom, there was a high chance that it would contain valuable items.
It was a useful reward for Zigg, who was trying to build up his own power.
There, the True Dragon Sword Technique was a secret sword technique that could be said to be the origin of the Yongsal Technique.
If it was the True Mountain Chronicle left behind by Shatton Draker, the founder of Auror, it would certainly be a vision that could easily overcome the wall of the Black Knight.
'The time limit is three months. I should focus on learning the True Dragon Sword while I'm in Valhalla.'
Then suddenly Zeke felt something strange.
The Draker family's dragonslayer lineage had a much longer history than was known.
But why is it that the anecdotes about Shatton Drake and Terracan Drake, who inherited his vision, have not been passed down?
There is no one who does not know the exploits of the dragon slayer Terrakan Draker, who killed the evil dragon Bahamut and saved the Central Continent.
However, not as much is known about the Terracan Draker as one might think.
Everyone knows about the liberation war that took place a thousand years ago, but the information that is known is passed down only as a legend rather than history.
Because of this, Terracan Draker also felt more like a mythical hero like Kaisir rather than a real person.
'Why have I never questioned this before?'
Rather than saying that I didn't have any questions, I think it would be better to say that I didn't feel the need to have them.
Zeke had never thought much about the legend of the Dragon Slayer until he inherited the legacy of Terracan Draker.
But as I began to form direct and indirect relationships with people I thought were legends or myths, I began to suspect that there might be something hidden behind what I knew.
"Systems, find the personal records of Terracan Draker in the security vault. Something like a diary."
[Search for administrator requests.] [There is only one search result for your request.]
Zig opened the contents of the system search.
Then an image appeared before my eyes.
The video was corrupted and had a lot of noise on the screen.
Still, it was possible to make a rough guess, as it seemed like someone had recorded what they saw and heard on video.
[Calibrating screen.]
As the system calibrated the screen, the noisy screen became clearer than before.
Something appeared on the screen.
At first, Zeke didn't recognize what it was.
Then, a little later, I realized.
"dragon?"
A being so huge that it made one wonder if such a thing could exist in the world was looking at Zeke.
A huge dragon, its entire body covered in black, hard scales, looked down at him with golden eyes.
Just receiving a gaze gave me the sense of oppression that seemed to destroy everything and freeze my soul.
Then the being opened its mouth.
"Terracan."
Zeke realized that the gaze in the video was that of Terracan Draker.
"Bahamut."
Terracan Draker called the black dragon before his eyes Bahamut.
Then Bahamut slowly lowered his head and said.
"Terracan, my contractor."
Zeke was surprised to hear that.
'Terrakan was Bahamut's contractor?'
Support support support!
The noise got worse again.
I couldn't hear Bahamut and Terracan speaking clearly.
The screen flickered and cut off and then came back on repeatedly.
When the screen returned, Terrakan Draker's sword was stuck right between Bahamut's eyebrows.
It seemed like the two were talking about something, but I couldn't hear what they were saying clearly.
After a while, Bahamut completely lowered his head to the floor and closed his eyes.
And from the spot where Terracan Draker had stuck his sword, Bahamut's body slowly disintegrated into black ash.
Where his body had been, only a heart shining like a jewel and the strongest of fangs remained.
And the video ended.
Zeke looked dumbfounded, as if in disbelief.
'Bahamut was the contracting agent for Terracan Draker?'
Zeke was greatly confused by the fact that Terracan Draker and Bahamut had a contractual relationship with each other.
It was clear that there was something unknown in the legend of the Dragon Slayer.
Zeke's keen senses were triggered.
'Perhaps an important secret of the Draker family is hidden within it.'
If you could get your hands on the family secret, it could be a useful card someday.
Zeke decided to investigate the hidden details of the legend of the Dragon Slayer.
The place he was now was the Valhalla Library, the best library in the Central Continent.
Zeke began to search through all the books on the legend of the dragon slayer in the Valhalla library and read them.
And Zeke discovered something surprising.
"The content is all the same."
As if it was made up on purpose, the only things about the legend of the Dragon Slayer were that Terrakan Draker defeated Bahamut and opened a golden age on the Central Continent.
What is even more surprising is that there were no research papers or books on this subject to begin with.
Compared to the hundreds of books and essays written about King Kaisir, whose existence is uncertain, there is virtually nothing about Terracan Draker.
"How can this be?"
It was as if someone had deliberately deleted and censored all content about the Terracan Draker.
Even Zeke realized that in his past life he had not even been aware of this situation.
Feeling that there was no point in learning about Terrakhan Draker in the Valhalla Library anymore, Zeke returned to the mansion.
Then I contacted Kay separately.
The content was to find and send to me any books about Terracan Draker from any region, including the Central Continent.
And a week later, Zeke received a bundle of books from Kay.
These were books about the legend of the Dragon Slayer, written in the languages of the Northern and Southern Continents.
The problem was that these things were not much different from what Zeke had seen in Valhalla.
Zeke read the letter Kay had enclosed.
Zeke received Kay's letter and confirmed what he had expected.
Draker was hiding the history of Terracan Draker and censoring information about him.
It was difficult to understand why Draker, who had ascended to the position of the third generation of the Transcendent Family under the name of the Dragon Slayer Family, would erase the past of his founder, Terracan Draker.
Zeke burned the letter Kay sent him.
It seemed as if there was a bigger secret hidden inside than I had thought.
That was when.
'Who is it?'
Zeke's senses detected the presence of intruders stealthily approaching.
Zeke's senses, having learned elemental power through the Elemental Sword, were on a different level from those of ordinary knights.
He took out Bahamut and immediately hid himself by leaning against the wall.
Judging from the way they hid their presence and moved in an organized manner, they were professionals, not amateurs.
'Did you get chased by the Imperial Hounds? That can't be... . . . '
When he killed the hounds he encountered in the Giant Mountains, he left behind only traces of his status as a southern hitman.
Even when coming down from the mountain, there was no trace left because a portal was used.
Zeke watched, holding his breath, as they entered his room, puzzled.
The black-clad intruders began to search through his room, unaware that Zeke was hiding there.
Because his movements were so cautious and secretive, it would have been difficult to even notice traces of him searching the room if you hadn't noticed him in advance.
Zeke realized that these were not the Empire's hunting dogs.
The hunting dogs could not move so stealthily and quietly.
The moment he realized that, Zig stepped on the stepping stone and approached.
WHEEK!
Zeke, holding a dagger instead of Bahamut, caught up with the intruder and immediately tried to cut off his head.
But surprisingly, the intruder twisted his body to avoid Zeke's attack and immediately rolled over and ran outside.
Zeke moved towards the others who had not yet gone out.
Shhh!
He threw a dagger at his leg to prevent him from escaping.
However, the other intruder also managed to evade Zeke's attacks and tried to run away right away.
'At least at the level of a Purple Knight.'
Zeke took hold of the dagger and performed the Welcome Step.
Chomp!
The intruder, who was about to escape out the window, was stopped by Zeke's sword and had no choice but to roll back into the room.
The man in black, his face covered by a mask, lowered his posture and drew the sword on his waist.
Zeke realized their identity when he saw the sword drawn by the man in black.
'Northern Ranger?'
