30 The King of Signs (4)
—————–!
The starlight of the heavenly sea that lights up the entire world in pure white.
The sea of sin touched by such starlight disappears without a trace.
Even that wasn’t enough, the starlight that Zion emitted broke even the world behind it and penetrated the sky of the original world beyond it.
It’s like a scene from a myth.
“… … .”
Sign King Hanosral looked at the night sky that was visible beyond the barrier that had been opened like that with empty eyes.
His body had already been blown away by the starlight, with his entire lower body and two-thirds of his upper body blown away.
“I lost.”
A low voice came out of his mouth, which had been silent for a moment.
Hanosral knew.
He knew that his body had already been hit so badly that it was impossible to regenerate.
It will probably disappear completely from the world like a barrier on the other side that collapses sooner or later.
“… … Did you know me?”
Hanosral asked Zion, who looked down at him with languid eyes.
I hadn’t thought about it until a little while ago because my head was spinning due to over-excitement, but now I know.
That the man in front of him was waiting for Hanosral himself to use the shield.
Perhaps he knew that his extra life was within the barrier and purposely aimed for it.
That action would have been impossible if he had not known him from the beginning.
“ I’ve been curious about it for a long time. Zion Agnes… … How the hell do you know who we are? And how do you know our plans?”
Starting with the first Chimseonggung Palace, the Shadow of Eternity, the phantom army, the Imperial University Tower, the Angelosh Territory, and Hanosral himself.
Without a single failure, Zion Agnes has thoroughly smashed the shadows of the demons involved in everything and took everything he wanted.
It was an area that could not be explained simply by the depth of the heart and the meticulousness.
“ Answer me.”
The last question Hanosral had before he died.
“ Who the hell are you?”
he wondered
About the existence of Zion Agnes.
In less than half a year, the imprisoned prince was selected as one of the strong candidates for the emperor.
In addition, a person who has built up his own power by taking all the checks and checks of the demon demons and the other royal families, and has achieved enough force to kill one of the five demon spirits alone.
How in the world could anything like this be possible?
He probably wouldn’t have believed it if he hadn’t seen Hanosral himself.
At Hanosral’s question, Shion grinned.
‘ How can you always ask the same thing like this?’
So, without answering, Shion, who was about to step on the King Sign’s head and explode, stopped as if he had remembered something.
‘ It wouldn’t be bad to see a reaction once.’
With that thought, Yvelin’s natural sun, which had been young in Zion’s whole body, disappeared without a trace, and the Heukseongha began to fill the place.
In addition, the surrounding brightness subsides darkly and the heterogeneous ominousness that thickens.
“ Yeah, the power you originally used… … I was also curious about the identity of that power. How the heck is such a power similar to ‘that being’… … !”
Hanosral, who opened his mouth while looking at Zion’s Black Castle, stopped talking.
Soon his eyes began to glow with a light of astonishment.
The eyes of the King of Signs were stuck in the three black stars that shone within Zion’s pupils.
“ Maybe… … .”
I thought it was the same for a while, but I never thought that was the case.
Because ‘that existence’ had already disappeared hundreds of years ago, and its power was a concept that could never be passed on to future generations.
But now, in Hanosral’s head, that conviction was starting to crack.

Maybe really maybe.
What if that wasn’t an impossible concept?
What if there was a really subtle possibility and passed on to the next generation?
Such doubts quickly grow and turn into new convictions.
“ It was… … you… … It was… … !”
That’s the way it was.
Only then can everything that has happened up to now be explained.
The King of Signs, who repeats only the words that it has been so, as if all questions have been solved.
The disappearance of his body begins to accelerate more and more.
“ The cursed descendants of aeons… … This time, we must… … .”
After that, Hanosral completely disappears from the world without saying the last word.
‘… … Did this have anything to do with the Eternal Age?’
Looking at the place where Hanosral had disappeared like that, Zion thought about it.
The blood of Agnes to be cursed.
Zion always wondered what this word meant.
It was because all the monsters he encountered spoke the same words.
The demons they had dealt with during the old welcome army certainly recognized the Black Star and uttered those words.
So, just in case, I openly exposed the Black Star to Hanosral, and it seemed like I got a good clue.
‘ Obviously, the demon appeared long after the death of the Eternal Eternal Emperor. But how are they related?’
Is it an error in the setting of the Plosimar Chronicle?
Or does something else exist?
As of now, there was no other way to know.
‘ If you continue hunting in the future, you may find out naturally.’
So when Zion finished his thoughts,
Kwajizijik!
If it was just right, the barrier was completely broken.
And the sight of the original world revealed beyond it.
There, another Hanosral was being brought to an end by a thousand-year-old witch.
“ How… … .”
The King of Signs who completely disappears while looking at Shion walking out of nowhere with a startled look.
“ Huh? Did the owner come just in time?”
Liusina, who found Shion soon after, smiled cheerfully and waved her hands.
There was little light in her eyes that she expected this to happen from the beginning.
“ The Lord Zion has come! Hurry up and get this sorted out!”
Kwagwagwagwang!
“ Kiaah!”
The surrounding battlefield is quickly cleared with Girard’s shout.
There was no need for Zion and Liusina to intervene.
Recognizing that the leader Hanosral was dead, the demon squad immediately lost their fighting spirit, and it was as easy as breathing for the demon squad to deal with such monsters.
“ Are you all right, Zion?”
After arranging all the monsters like that, Liam approached Zion and asked.
In his eyes, the excitement from the battle after a long time had not yet disappeared.
“ Yes.”
“ The report is unbelievable. You know, there are monsters roaming inside the Imperial Castle like this. Even such high-ranking monsters… … .”
Liam muttered in a blank voice while looking at the corpses of demons.
To be honest, Liam was skeptical when Shion called the Emperor for the need to hunt monsters.
If someone else had said something like that, I would have dismissed it as nonsense.
What happened at Chimseonggung Palace today was both shocking and hard to believe.
“ If you attack the Emperor of Zion so openly, you will have already penetrated deep into the Empire as well as the Imperial Palace.”
Girard, the commander of the guard corps, approached Liam’s side and said,
Contrary to his appearance, which seemed to know only his muscles and battles, it was quite insightful.
“ Right, that’s correct.”
Shion replied with a grin.
“ However, considering that this fact has not been made public until now… … Are you thinking of something?”
“ I’m going to set the trap deep so I can catch it at once.”
It was not yet the time to wage an all-out war with the demons that permeated the Empire.
Although they were aware of each other’s existence, there was a difference between revealing it openly and not revealing it.
Even today, they didn’t reveal it, so only a few were able to move.
It was still the best way to reduce the enemy’s power little by little.
‘I ‘ll have to prepare slowly.’
When Shion thinks like that, thinking of an all-out war that will one day happen,
“ I see. Then I’ll be silent about today’s work. The next time you need to hunt monsters like this, please call me anytime.”
Next to Girard who bowed his head and answered,
“ Sir Zion.”
Thierry, the leader of the shadows, appeared.
“ Everything has been figured out.”
“ Tell me.”
“ Today, we traced the path of the demons that invaded Chimseonggung in reverse.”
It was what Shion had instructed Thierry in advance of the battle.
“ All of them entered from outside the imperial castle, and some of them were connected to businesses run secretly in the capital by the 4th Prince Utekan.”
“ Did you finally catch the tail?”
At Thierry’s words, Shion’s eyes lit up coldly.
it was undoubtedly
That workplace must be one of the secret branches of the demons hiding in the Empire.
“ What would you like to do?”
“You ’re asking the obvious.”
The sinister smile that formed on Zion’s lips together with him.
Shion had no intention of ending this work like this.
Because it was Zion’s disposition to pluck up all the roots around the existence that revealed it to him.
‘ This opportunity, along with the power of Utekan, will significantly reduce the number of demons in the capital.’
“ Then you better move as fast as you can.”
“ Yeah, I’m going to start moving right now. Let’s put Liusina in first.”
If the monsters move before they realize that this attack has failed, they can do more damage.
“ I like it. You can kill more.”
At Shion’s words, the thousand-year-old witch was delighted.
at that time,
“ But, Sir Zion, there is one problem.”
Thierry opened her mouth with a slightly troubled expression toward Shion.
“ There is only one business place of the 4th Prince revealed now, but in the process of attacking it, many other secret powers connected with the business will be revealed. If His Majesty wants to destroy them all, we need more power than we do now. It is also the power to move freely at any time.”
It was said because I knew Zion’s disposition to complete a job perfectly.
To be honest, it would not be an exaggeration to say that there is no armed group under Zion right now.
Although Riusina was strong, there was a limit on her own, and the guard corps and exorcism had to protect the boundaries with the demon, so they couldn’t use them at will.
4 The same was true of the Wollo Corps that was taken from the prince.
“ Don’t worry.”
Shion smiled and opened her mouth.
Absence of immediate armed groups.
Zion was also fully aware of that fact.
So, the solution was already in mind.
“ It will happen soon.”
The unknown words raised doubts in the eyes of the people, but the mouth of Sion, who quietly drew the line, did not open any more.
* * *
A small garden near Chimseonggung.
“ What is going on?”
A woman in a monastic robe standing alone there muttered in a dazed voice.
With him, the crisis that had just happened before came to mind in the woman’s mind.
– Answer me. I asked why you don’t feel the touch of God in you.
1 Prince Rubrios asked the question to the woman tenaciously.
The woman couldn’t answer the question because she couldn’t know what God’s hand was, and because the first prince’s eyes were already filled with mad confidence.
When the woman considered the battle with Rubrios and even escaped,
—————–!
Starlight rose from Chimseonggung Palace.
The brilliant starlight of the heavenly sea that soars to the end of the field of vision in an instant and illuminates the sky of the Imperial Castle.
-… … Hmm, let’s ask again next time.
After thinking for a while between the starlight and the woman, Rubrios eventually walked toward the Chimseonggung Palace with those words and disappeared.
‘ What the hell is going on?’
Somehow, she overcame the crisis, but her anxiety was growing as she looked towards the Chimseonggung Palace.
Chimseonggung Palace, where no other sound or light comes out after the starlight that is shot toward the sky.
Because of Rubrios who headed to Chimseonggung a while ago, I couldn’t even go check it out myself.
“ What happened to Zion Agnes… … .”
The woman who had been muttering until there shook her head strongly.
It is impossible.
No, it had to be impossible.
Wasn’t it the power that had an overwhelming advantage to block all the variables in the first place?
‘I have to join the Utekan side first.’
A woman who begins to move quickly as if trying to shake off those thoughts.
However, in her mind, the starlight she had seen a while ago continued to appear, amplifying her anxiety.
‘ After all, really… … If Hanosral really suffered… … .’
It was such a big deal that it turned the whole game upside down.
A balance of power that has been secretly maintained within the Empire for over a hundred years.
It was as if the balance had finally begun to collapse.
‘ Maybe we should prepare for it.’
But the woman didn’t know.
That the balance had already been broken little by little from the old days.
that someone is watching you.
