29 Double Trap (5)
The office of Chwiseonggung.
“ Sir, may I ask what’s going on?”
The knight with an impressive diagonal scar on his face, Diorned, asked Evelyn Agnes, the imperial family he served.
“… … .”
The 2nd princess just stared out the window with complicated eyes without answering those words.
It was already the second day.
Exactly after going to the big banquet.
Since then, his master has always had eyes like that.
So I had no choice but to ask.
How long had passed in silence?
“ I was obviously not feeling well.”
Evelyn’s mouth opened slowly.
“ I’m not feeling well… … Who are you talking about?”
“ It’s Zion. It looked serious, not just bad.”
With those words, the image of Shion she had seen in the banquet hall came to her mind.
That day, Shion looked better than ever, but Evelyn herself could not fool her eyes.
“ I could tell exactly when the chandelier fell. At that time, Zion was obviously trying to avoid it. But I couldn’t.”
A subtle stagger that accompanied him.
It was a movement that would never have been possible if it had been the original Zion.
“ It’s clear that your body isn’t moving at will.”
That meant he was in such a serious condition that he couldn’t move his body properly.
I don’t know why, though.
“ Are you worried about His Majesty Zion’s physical condition?”
“ No, I’m more concerned that other people might have noticed this too.”
If that’s the case, they won’t pass by like Evelyn herself.
I’m sure there will be several tricks to take advantage of this.

Maybe he was aiming for Zion’s life.
“… … Should I help?”
“ Sir.”
At Evelyn’s murmuring, Dearned called her in a low voice.
“Your Majesty Zion is no longer the one you need to help.”
His face was as cold as his voice.
“ Did you forget? Who passed the succession ceremony and subjugated the welcome army? Who killed Dan Icarus and the third prince Enoch? and… … Who made a unique appearance at the funeral of His Majesty the Emperor?”
“… … .”
“ All of this was accomplished by His Majesty Zion in just a few months. Now he is being called as one of the strong candidates for the next emperor. One of your undisputed rivals.”
They were all exaggerated but not added facts.
“ You have to be a little more sensible. Giving help is only possible when you are not on equal footing.”
Dear Ned, who speaks without hesitation as if pouring out what he usually puts in.
“Your Majesty Evelyn, this is a problem Your Majesty Zion must solve for herself.”
“… … yes.”
A low voice came out of Evelyn’s mouth, who had been silent for a while.
In fact, she knew too.
I just wanted to turn away.
In her mind, Sion still thinks, ‘Sister! Sister!’ Because he was just a cute little brother who followed him.
But that was now only the distant past.
“ Thank you, Dear Ned. Thanks to you, I have come to my senses.”
“ I’m sorry for being presumptuous, my lord.”
Dear Ned, bowing her head deeply at her words.
It was when the complex light slowly disappeared from Evelyn’s eyes as she looked at him.
“ Sir Evelyn.”
A knight came into the office and called her.
The second princess looked at the knight as if wondering what was going on with him.
The knight opened his mouth to her.
“ A strange movement has been detected within the Imperial Castle.”
“ A strange movement?”
“ It was detected that an unknown group was heading towards Chimseonggung. It is such a secret move that we would not have noticed if we had not placed our knights near Chimseonggung.”
“ Maybe… … .”
Evelyn’s eyes twinkled.
That was the moment she was about to get up.
“ Sir.”
Another knight entered the office with an urgent look.
“ What’s going on?”
“ His Majesty Utekan has come.”
The article’s answer to that question immediately flowed out.
“ Suddenly at this hour?”
It was such a clever timing.
Evelyn’s eyes began to glow strangely at him.
* * *
outside the castle.
In the pitch black darkness that was obscured by even the moonlight, Hanosral, the King of Signs, looked at the Chimseonggung Palace, which was not far away.
As the name suggests, the star is sinking, the appearance of Chimseonggung gives a gloomy feeling.
‘ It suits the future of Zion Agnes soon.’
Thinking about that for a moment, Hanosral grinned and looked at the countless demons and signs lined up behind him.
All of them were intermediate and above, and the number of advanced demons was also exceeding six.
A power that is truly rare in the human world, where each senior has an important role to play.
But it had to be.
‘ It’s because three of the Oh Maryeong mobilized their direct units.’
Their will to kill Zion Agnes at this opportunity was strong.
“ Tonight, we will attack Chimseonggung.”
Looking at the demons following him, Hanosral opened his mouth in a low voice.
“ Kill all living beings in the palace. I don’t care how or how many kills. let you run wild only.”
In the eyes of the King of Signs, a giant spirit and magic that begins to grow young.
“ Zion Agnes is mine. Don’t touch him like that.”
“ I see.”
At that instruction, the demons and the signers smiled and nodded their heads.
Their eyes were also glistening with life as if they were expecting the slaughter that would happen in the future.
“ All interference from outside is Utekan… … No, Tarahal has decided to block it, so we’re just focusing on destroying Chimseonggung.”
After saying those words, Hanosral turned again and began to slowly approach Chimseonggung.
A group of monsters quietly following him.
self-
Soon after, from the body of King Sain, who was walking, a dark red darkness like a curtain flowed out and began to cover the whole of Chimseonggung.
sound, light, vibration, etc.
It was a barrier that blocked everything flowing out.
“ What, what!”
Quajiic!
After witnessing the barrier, Hanosral and the demonic unit immediately passed through the outer gate, which immediately dealt with the guards who uttered embarrassing shouts.
Like the darkness that spreads to the world at sunset, the demonic monsters rush to the inner front door as quickly and secretly.
Finally,
Aww!
They even smashed the solid wooden inner front door in one shot and entered Chimseonggung Palace.
“ They immediately dispersed and found Zion Agnes first… … ?”
As soon as he entered, Hanosral’s words stopped.
His eyes were dyed with doubt along with him.
There was one reason.
Because the interior of Chimseonggung, which unfolded before his eyes, was so different from what he expected.
‘ No one… … No?’
A large hall that extends beyond the entrance of Chimseonggung Palace.
It was empty.
Even the servants who should have a surprised expression looking at this.
The knights who drew their swords and shouted who they were.
Not a single living life was seen.
In addition, there was no light to illuminate the inside of the castle at all.
Like an old abandoned castle, the hall shines only with moonlight.
‘ Something is wrong!’
It was a moment when Hanosral’s eyes fluttered like crazy at the strange sight.
“ You came later than expected.”
A single voice echoed in his ear.
It was a voice that Hanosral had also heard before.
languid yet heterogeneous.
Yet, the voice that resonates clearly as if locked in everyone’s ears.
Zion Agnes.
The adversary of the devil and the stealer of the Holy Blood.
And the one that Hanosral himself wants to kill the most.
bum bum, bum bum.
The figure of Sion slowly appearing in the darkness inside the palace came into the eyes of King Sign, who turned his head to the side where the voice was heard.
and at that moment,
“ Maybe… … !”
Finally, Hanosral was able to understand.
From the first time they attacked the hut of the mysterious monster until now.
Everything that happened in between was a trap that Zion Agnes carefully crafted.
“ I thought when I was attacked by you guys.”
Sion slowly approaches the King of Signs and speaks.
“ How can I use this to pull out one of my heads?”
Such Zion’s eyes begin to draw arcs like a crescent moon floating in the sky.
“ I thought it was definitely not going to be the usual way. Because your existence was so deep beneath the surface of the water.”
so that,
“ I used myself as bait.”
If it’s not that much, I won’t ask.
It was also spreading rumors that he was living in Chimseonggung Palace.
It was also leaking information that was in critical condition.
Attending a grand banquet and standing under a chandelier.
And when the pre-cut chandelier fell, it staggered without avoiding it.
All of this was Zion’s plan.
Of course, the guards at the main gate also had the eyes planted by the other royal families set up as cutlery in order not to look awkward.
“ Did you get caught like this thanks to you?”
Zion was talking as if he already knew who he was, but Hanosral couldn’t afford to worry about that.
“ The bloodline of this damned Agnes… … !”
His eyes were already stained with great anger along with bewilderment.
trap.
I was completely caught in the trap.
His heart and tenacity were terrifying, but at least he was a man who had just lived for twenty years.
He couldn’t stand the fact that the Omaryeongs, including himself, were playing on the palm of such a guy.
Ded Ded Dude!
In response to his emotions, the space around him begins to oscillate.
“ Yeah, nothing will change. It just got a little more annoying.”
But is it still one of the Omar Spirits?
The King of Signs, who immediately calmed his emotions, muttered softly.
No matter how well Sion Agnes is, the result will not change as long as he leaves.
“ Catch him and kneel before me.”
Soon after, with such instructions from Hanosral,
Paah!
Some of the demons behind them jumped out towards Zion.
It’s so fast that you can’t even see it.
“ But have you never thought of this?”
While watching the demons approaching him like that, Shion did not move and drew a deeper arc.
“ The reason I brought you here is because you are all ready to hunt.”
Finally, it was the moment when the demons who approached right in front with such Zion’s remarks were about to launch a direct blow.
Kirik!
Boom!
From both sides of Zion, I wondered if something misaligned and the sound of shells exploding at the same time came out, but Kwajijijik!
The bodies of the demons who rushed at them exploded without mercy, leaving no form behind.
with him,
“ Oh, there are a lot of good looking ones?”
“ Sir Zion, are you okay?”
Two figures slowly appearing from behind Shion.
It was Liusina and Liam Reiner.
The power that Zion prepared for this plan.
“ The authors… … !”
Hanosral’s eyes fluttered at the wave of immense power felt from those two.
But it was too early for him to be surprised.
Because this wasn’t all that Shion had prepared.
“ These bastards must have really been inside the Imperial Castle.”
Dozens of new characters appear behind Zion with harsh voices coming from the darkness.
The ferocious prayers that flowed out of them were more than the direct units that Hanosral had brought.
“ Sir, if you give me a command, I will rip them all to pieces right away.”
Girard, the vigilante corps commander who stood in front of them, looked at the demons and growled like that of a beast.
The Exorcist Battalion, a unit called the most elite in the border corps, which is considered one of the most powerful corps of the empire.
They were the newly formed extremists following the will of the first extermination unit that had been annihilated in the past.
Their eyes filled with endless hatred for the devil.
“ How the hell… … .”
A voice mixed with doubt and bewilderment came out of the mouth of the King of Signs, who vaguely recognized who they were in those eyes.
“ The enemy that appears is much easier to hunt.”
The moment Shion smiles at Hanosral,
aa
Finally, the first Omaryeong hunt began.
