Dragonslayer’s Class Regression Chapter 133

Chapter 133

“How did you know that?”

Zeke was taken aback by Princess Arina’s words.

It was the Light Magic Book he received from opening a random box. No one should have known he had it, so he couldn’t understand how she knew he was coming to deliver it.

At that moment, the princess spoke to Clonne.

“Clonne, I’d like to speak with Sir Zeke alone for a moment.”

Clonne bowed politely to the princess and left with Felix and Liam who were standing behind.

Zeke still looked at Princess Arina with disbelief.

She slowly opened her mouth.

“Laura Agamemnon. Do you know about her?”

Zeke was stunned to hear his mother’s name from Princess Arina, as he never imagined this would happen.

‘What’s going on?’

Though he had thought there might be some connection between Lubern and his mother when the Healer class was mentioned, he didn’t expect it to be brought up so directly.

Princess Arina continued the conversation.

“Laura Agamemnon is our benefactor of Lubern, along with Lord Fab.”

“Laura Agamemnon is a benefactor?”

“Lord Fab rescued Lubern’s bloodline members who were imprisoned by the Order 50 years ago. Of course, not everyone could be saved…”

“Are you saying Laura Agamemnon helped with the rescue? The timeline doesn’t match.”

“Laura helped us settle here in Tempel afterward. She also helped change our identities so we wouldn’t be pursued by the Holy Kingdom.”

Zeke was shocked to learn that his mother was deeply involved in helping the Lubern bloodline.

Then he suddenly noticed something strange.

“Have you met Laura Agamemnon, Princess?”

Arina nodded.

“Laura and I shared a brief but deep friendship.”

Zeke had trouble understanding Princess Arina’s words.

Her appearance looked to be around Zeke’s age at most.

“Um… excuse me for asking, but your age…”

Arina covered her mouth and laughed lightly.

“Let’s just say I’m much more older than you.”

Even considering his past life, Zeke had lived quite long, but the princess seemed to surpass this.

Zeke nodded slightly and returned to the main topic, asking Princess Arina again.

“You still haven’t answered my question. How did you know I brought the Light Magic Book?”

The princess smiled and spoke.

“The savior with black eyes will bring Lubern’s lost power.”

Zeke had heard similar words before at Agamemnon Castle.

“Don’t tell me Laura Agamemnon made a prophecy.”

Princess Arina nodded.

“Those were the last words Laura left me before she departed.”

Laura Agamemnon, a Healer class and Irregular, possessed the power of prophecy.

Zeke could finally understand how Princess Arina knew he would bring the Light Magic Book.

She looked at Zeke and said.

“Laura, your mother, was the most beautiful and exceptional woman. I was so fortunate to have such a wise and passionate person as my friend.”

“So you knew I was Laura Agamemnon’s son?.”

“Being in hiding makes us pay attention to news from across the continent. We heard that the one who broke the curse of Agamemnon Castle was none other than a pureblood awakener of Draker with black eyes.”

While Zeke himself had been too busy to notice, the continent was buzzing with news about Zeke Draker, the genius knight.

Zeke smiled awkwardly and took out the Light Magic Book from his inventory.

Then he slowly held out the magic book to the princess.

“This is the latter part of the Light Magic Book.”

The princess’s eyebrows trembled slightly at Zeke’s words.

“Finally…”

Princess Arina touched the magic book with trembling hands.

Soon, light began to flow from the magic book.

A message appeared before Zeke’s eyes as well.

[The Light Magic Book verifies the successor’s mark.]

[Code authenticated.]

[Beginning succession ceremony.]

The Light Magic Book began to open with a swooshing sound.

Then light rippled from each character written in the magic book.

Zeke watched the succession ceremony with curious eyes.

Soon the book’s characters rose up glowing and began to envelop Princess Arina.

They then turned into light and absorbed into her body.

SWOOSH!

As pages turned, all characters rose and absorbed into her body.

When the last page’s characters transformed into light and absorbed into Princess Arina’s body, the book fell onto the table with a thud.

After the succession ceremony ended, the Light Magic Book, unlike before, became an empty book with no characters written in it.

‘Is it done?’

Princess Arina was breathing softly with her eyes closed.

Then a message appeared before Zeke’s eyes.

[Main quest mission successful.]

[Received title ‘Knight of Light’ as reward.]

[Received skill Holy Fire (S-rank) as reward.]

[Received coordinates for ‘Forgotten Primordial Temple’ as reward.]

[500 Karma points awarded as reward.]

[Additional Intermediate Administrator System privileges unlocked.]

[Item disassembly/repair function unlocked in store.]

[Item enhancement function unlocked in store.]

[Item crafting function has been activated in the shop.]

Various rewards poured in as missions were cleared.

Zeke examined one of them, named ‘The Forgotten Primordial Temple’.

‘Primordial Temple?’

It was a name he had never heard before.

At the same time, a quest window appeared.

―Main Quest Mission―

[Take the holy relic containing the power of the Beginning to the Forgotten Primordial Temple. (No time limit / Temple coordinates will be automatically activated when all 3 holy relics are obtained)]

[Quest Mission Reward: ???]

Seeing the sudden main quest window, Zeke made a bewildered expression.

‘What is this? What’s the power of the Beginning and what are these holy relics? And why is the mission reward a question mark?’

It felt distinctly different from all the quests that had come before.

‘Let’s put this quest aside for now. There are many other things to do besides this.’

Zeke decided to postpone the quest and examined the newly opened shop category list.

―Shop―

1. Buy / Sell Items

2. Dismantle / Repair Items

3. Enhance Items

4. Craft Items

‘Number 4, item crafting has been added. Does this mean we can make items directly?’

While Zeke was checking the shop categories, Princess Arina slowly opened her eyes.

“I’ve finally found the latter part of light magic. I can finally be a proper magician instead of just half of one. Thank you so much.”

Princess Arina’s face, white from head to toe, became slightly flushed with pink cheeks.

“Congratulations on successfully completing the succession ritual, Princess.”

Princess Arina smiled at Zeke.

“It’s all thanks to Sir Zeke.”

After contemplating, Zeke asked Princess Arina.

“Princess, I’d like to ask about the Healer class.”

“What would you like to know?”

“Sister Clonne told me that if you’re a Healer class, it’s possible to use light magic without holy power.”

Princess Arina nodded.

“That’s correct. Light magic is close to being a blood-inherited ability only permitted to the Luberen bloodline. For others to use this power, they need artifacts imbued with light magic.”

“In the case of magic artifacts, it’s possible to use them by generating aura, but why does light magic uniquely require a different power called holy power?”

Princess Arina continued.

“Holy power is different from aura or magical power. If I had to explain it… it’s like drawing out the power of the soul through strong desires.”

Hearing the princess’s words, something occurred to Zeke.

‘If it’s the power of the soul… is it similar to soul technique?’

Zeke deployed soul technique using incantation and middle diantan mana with will.

If light magic was also about calling forth the power contained in artifacts through will, it certainly felt closer to soul technique than aura or magic.

Princess Arina spoke to Zeke.

“According to Sister Clonne, you can call forth light magic without holy power.”

After thinking for a moment, Zeke answered.

“Yes, that’s correct.”

She smiled and said.

“It might be Laura’s influence. Or perhaps Sir Zeke also has the qualities of the Healer class.”

Fortunately, Princess Arina didn’t probe any deeper.

Zeke asked a new question.

“Does the Healer class only come from the Lubern bloodline?”

Princess Arina tilted her head slightly and slowly spoke.

“According to succession records, that’s how it is. But seeing that Laura was also a Healer class, we can consider two possibilities. One is that the Healer class can emerge from bloodlines other than Lubern. The other is that the Agamemnon family is a branch of the Lubern bloodline.”

Zeke was surprised to hear this.

“Are you saying Agamemnon might be of Lubern blood?”

“When the Lubern bloodline lost imperial power in the Holy Empire, most were killed or taken to the church, but some might have escaped. We can’t rule out the possibility that they changed their names and continued the Agamemnon bloodline.”

Listening to Arina’s words, Zeke felt there was some logic to it.

Agamemnon’s golden swordsmanship had many similarities with Paladin swordsmanship and Imperial style swordsmanship, and above all, the family’s sacred object, the Agamemnon mask, was a Healer class exclusive artifact.

If Agamemnon’s ancestors were of Lubern blood, it would also explain the tradition of appointing Healer class as family heads.

‘Did they hide their bloodline identity for fear of being pursued by the Holy Empire, and lose that history in the process?’

Zeke’s mother, Laura Agamemnon, might have discovered the connection between their ancestors and the Lubern bloodline while searching for the secrets of the Healer class, leading her to help them.

‘I never knew the Healer class, which I thought was cursed, had such a secret.’

Even Zeke’s previous life’s master, who was well-versed in ancient knowledge, didn’t know the details about the Healer class, so the information Arina shared was both unfamiliar and fascinating.

Then, looking at Princess Arina’s eyes, something occurred to Zeke.

“Come to think of it, Princess, why didn’t you heal your eyes with healing?”

At Zeke’s words, Princess Arina showed a slightly surprised expression.

“Are you perhaps talking about miracles?”

Zeke tilted his head at the princess’s response.

“I don’t know about grand terms like miracles, but I was just wondering why you left your eyes as they were when you could have treated them with healing.”

Then Princess Arina spoke with a bewildered expression.

“Sir Zeke, healing only aids recovery, it cannot fix blinded eyes or reattach severed wounds. That would literally be a miracle.”

“What? What do you mean…?”

Zeke was taken aback by Arina’s words.

In his previous life, he had countless experiences of healing burst eyeballs, broken bones, and reattaching severed limbs.

‘Then what was all the healing I’ve been doing until now?’

In his confusion, Zeke carefully said to Arina.

“Princess, could you perhaps show me healing?”

At Zeke’s words, Princess Arina smiled and reached out her hand toward him.

He placed his palm against Princess Arina’s hand.

Simultaneously, a warm light erupted from her hand.

WOOOONG!

The light that burst from Princess Arina’s hand seeped into Zeke’s palm.

Zeke recalled a similar sensation.

‘It feels similar to when health is restored using the Light Veil skill.’

Certainly, at this level, it seemed impossible to heal wounds.

“This is healing. Even as a Healer class, it’s impossible to perfectly heal wounds. Ah, Laura was a bit different though. She could use healing strong enough to immediately close cut wounds.”

Hearing the explanation, he realized the power was clearly different from the healing he had been using.

After contemplating for a moment, he spoke to Princess Arina.

“Princess, excuse me for a moment.”

Zeke took Princess Arina’s hand and deployed healing along with a wide-area buff.

WOOOONG!

The strong recovery power surging from Zeke’s body was transferred to her.

WOOOONG!

Zeke could feel his power concentrating on Princess Arina’s eyes.

Princess Arina showed a bewildered expression as she felt the sudden influx of external power.

But feeling the warmth of the strong power settling in her body, she slowly closed her eyes.

TSSSSSS!

As the wave eventually stopped, Princess Arina slowly opened her eyes that had been closed.

Unlike before, her pupils were gleaming with a mysterious light.

She touched her eyes and tears rolled down.

“My, my eyes?”
