43 Rewards (2)
ensuing silence.
The reason Simeon thought so was because of Luminus’ overflowing interest, which had never existed in the history of the Church of Light.
So the Pope thought.
In order for a being to receive such divine attention, there must be something special that is different from mortals.
And it was simply impossible to have the best bloodlines of the empire or the fate of a world-shaking world.
Even a hero who has only appeared twice in history had only to receive an oracle once or twice.
Then, it was clear that there was more to Prince Zion than that.
In addition to that, it must have been that the god they worship had made a huge contribution to the extent of giving thanks and rewarding them directly.
Combining the two, the conclusion that could be drawn was that Prince Zion was the Destroyer.
The Destroyer had a high rank enough to overwhelm Belial, the strongest fallen angel, and he even contributed to saving the City of Light.
‘ Of course, it’s a huge leap forward.’
He said it just in case, but Simeon was already well aware that it couldn’t be.
Although he has a great reputation these days, Prince Zion was a person who had fallen enough to be called a shame of the imperial family until just less than a year ago.
I can’t believe that such a person could be called a powerful candidate for emperor by overtaking other members of the royal family in such a short time, because it was absolutely impossible to surpass even that and achieve the level of an annihilator.
Nevertheless, they dared to ask this question because they were so curious as to why their god paid so much attention to Prince Zion.
at that time,
“ What do you think?”
Shion, who had languid eyes, smiled softly and asked the pope.
Simeon, who looked at Zion with his shaky eyes for a moment at the ambiguous answer, shed a heinous laugh and then opened his mouth.
“ Of course it can’t be. I’m sorry for asking a strange question all of a sudden.”
The Pope, who made his own conclusions, immediately changed the subject.
“… … There is only one reward that our denomination will give to His Majesty. And that’s the best reward we can give.”
“ What if the best reward?”
“ From now on, our Church of Light will support His Majesty Prince Zion Agnes.”
It was an extravagant word.
Until now, the Church of Light had never supported outsiders who were not members of the Church.
No, it was the first time he had intervened in the struggle for the throne, with the exception of the 1st Prince Rubrios.
Something that never existed in history.
“ Weren’t you already supporting Rubrios?”
It was certainly shocking, but Shion, who kept her eyes still as calm as the first time, asked Simeon.
“ Yes. Of course, I will continue to support His Majesty the First Prince in the future. But when it comes time to take the side of one of the two, I think I will lean a little bit more towards your Majesty.”
“ Why?”
“ Of course, the one that benefits the Church more is His Majesty Rubrios. Dedicated to giving up the throne and giving everything to the Light, he is also one of the elite paladins. However… … .”
With those words, Simeon’s two eyes lit up with the same strange light as before.
“ Doesn’t the light tell you what you are most interested in?”
1 Eyes like Prince Rubrios.
Those eyes were unmistakably the light of fanaticism.
“ Even the highest priests have already received many oracles that are difficult to receive only once in their lifetime, and beyond that, they have gone through descent and designation. If we don’t support this person, who are we going to support?”
For Simeon, who worshiped the light more than anyone else, this was the most important factor.
So there was no hesitation in his eyes.
“ And perhaps even the First Prince might give up competing with His Highness if he knew this. Of course, we have to make one promise.”
The Pope did not speak of the treaty.
He seemed to think that it would be better to listen directly to Rubrios.
‘ Is this the reason for saying confidently?’
Looking at Simeon like that, Shion thought.
I was going to get it someday, but I didn’t expect it to be so easily supported by the Church of Light.
Perhaps the main reason was that Luminus intervened to talk directly with him.
‘ Even if that statement is false and they take the side of Rubrios more, it is a good condition.’
Still, it will be usable until he clashes with the first prince.
After thinking like that, Shion opened her mouth.
“ Not bad.”
“ I am glad that you are satisfied.”
“ Then let me give you a present as well.”
The pope’s eyes were dyed with doubt at those words.
“ If it’s a gift, what are you talking about?”
“ Did you know that the monsters hiding within the church were discovered?”
“ Yes, yes. I heard that your Highness removed it yourself.”
“ You probably don’t think that’s all there is to it.”
“… … !”
The young question in Simeon’s eyes turned into surprise.
“ Then I’m still in the church… … .”
“ I’ll take them out.”
Zion’s eyes sink coldly with those words.
Shion had no intention of letting the demons set up in the church that had become his own.
* * *
With the full cooperation of the Church of Light, the extraction of monsters was done very quickly.
Is it because it was one of the places where the magic station was on the lookout?
Although most of the demons under Gulihur and his subordinates were wiped out due to the last incident, there were still quite a few monsters left in the main corps.
Although not all of them, Zion was able to get rid of most of the monsters that had hidden in the depths of the church, and it took only three days until then.
After that, Zion left the church without delay and headed for the Imperial Castle.
Because the work in the City of Light was over and there was no reason to stay any longer.
“ Goodbye, Sir Zion. May the blessing of light always be with you.”
Was it because it wasn’t an official visit?
Only the Pope and Archbishops and a few high-ranking figures who knew Zion’s identity were the last to meet Zion.
Before that, I had heard that Olivia was looking for Zion herself, but I didn’t have to meet her because I could see her again when the time came.
The first place Shion, who immediately returned to the Imperial Castle, went,
“ Come on… … Eh?”
It was somewhere other than Chimseonggung.
“ Are you here again?”
‘Dream of the Stars’ is the world’s best treasure trove that exists beneath the Baekseonggung Palace.
Shion nodded towards the warehouse keeper, Veila, who greeted him with puzzled eyes, and then entered the warehouse.
“ It’s nice to see you again, but… … Why are you here?”
Coming closer to Shion, the homunculus asked.
It was extremely rare for an imperial family who once visited this place and went out carrying arms before becoming emperor again.
Direct blood relatives could visit at any time, but anyway, it was impossible to go out with additional weapons.
You just have to suck your fingers and watch, but who will ever come back?
“ I have something to gain here.”
“ Yeah?”
At Shion’s words, Veila’s doubts deepened.
The imperial family in front of me must have taken a sword from here before.
“ You already know that you can no longer bring weapons from here, right? Of course, taking the broken knife in the first place doesn’t mean asking for an exchange or return!”
“ I don’t think so. It’s just taking what was originally mine.”
The ‘place where Iclaxia was first’, as Luminus said.
Zion was convinced that the place was the dream of the stars here.
“ Yes? what does that mean… … .”
Shion looked around the inside of the warehouse while shedding the words of Veila, who continued to question him, through one ear.
But I couldn’t find what I was looking for.
‘ Are you on the inside?’
With that thought, Shion opened her mouth to Veila.
“ I want to go inside.”
“… … I’ll open it up for now, but could you tell me the reason?”
Just like the last time, the warehousekeeper took a deep breath and waved his finger once.
That moment,
Whoa!
A new entrance appears as the space opens up.
It was the place where the highest grade weapons were kept among the dreams of the stars.
“ I already told you.”
After a short reply, Shion pushed himself inside without hesitation.
A feast of legends and mythical weapons unfolding in the eyes of Zion soon!
Did he even recognize Zion, who had grown tremendously compared to before?
Whoa!
As soon as they enter the inside, all kinds of weapons start to cry towards Zion as if they were courting.
“ Huh… … .”
Even after protecting the warehouse for hundreds of years, when Veila, who follows the scene she sees for the first time, opens her mouth slightly, jeep, jeep.
Shion immediately moved forward.
Zion walks while looking at only one place without even paying attention to the other weapons.
Gravity Spear Agnus.
Old Palace Hafnoth.
And even Rigveda, the heavenly sword that bursts out the loudest cry.
The eyes of Zion, who passed all myth-level weapons,
‘I found it.’
Finally it lit up.
A half-sword god that is embedded in the corner of the warehouse and absorbs all the surrounding light.
It was the rest of the Extinction Lightblade.
Its location was the same as when Zion first discovered Iklaxia in the past.
“ What? Why is there something like that… … .”
A voice tinged with suspicion came out of the mouth of Veila, who discovered such a sword after Shion.
She only managed the warehouse all day, so she knew where even a single jewel the size of a fingernail was.
But even as such Veila, it was the first time I swore to see that sword.
‘ Obviously, nothing has happened until now… … !’
something I can never understand.
In the meantime, Shion, who had reached the front of the sword god, reached out and grabbed the air.
Shrek-
Naturally, Iklaxia was caught in Shion’s hands.
Did he realize that his half was right in front of him?
Woo woo woo!
The summoned extinct light sword fell and let out a loud cry.
With him, spider web-like lines flowed from the tip of Iklaxia and began to connect with the cut part of the embedded sword.
————–!
A continuous union, and a burst of black light.
“ Dude, what… … !”
The light that spread in all directions along with Veila’s shout finally filled the entire warehouse.
The moment when the young astonishment in the eyes of the warehouse keeper also reaches a climax, Whoo Wook!
That black light disappeared without a trace in an instant, and her view returned.
What was reflected in Veila’s vision was Shion, who was walking towards this side with indifferent eyes.
It was a single silent sword held in Zion’s hand with a perfect sword body.
“ Come on.”
Shion, who walked right in front of the warehouse keeper who was standing still, showed her the complete Iklaxia.
“ I did it this way, so it doesn’t matter if I take it, right?”
At Shion’s question, Veila nodded her head with blank eyes.
* * *
“ Master Hi~”
After getting the other half of Iklaxia, the first person to welcome Zion, who returned to Chimseonggung, was none other than Riusina.
She sits on a chair in the study, which was originally Zion’s seat, and waves her hand.
“ Hi?”
“ Oh, the owner doesn’t know? This is the greeting I learned in the blood system I went to this time. How are you?”
“ Looking at how you learned to say things like that, it seems like you did a good job.”
“ Then, who am I?”
Liusina responded with a smile to Shion’s words.
On this journey, she had obtained new clues to further develop her own blood magic beyond perfectly following Shion’s instructions.

Maybe it’s because he didn’t know that there was another realm on top of what he thought was already the end?
The witch’s eyes were full of excitement and anticipation.
“ Are you here, my lord?”
Next to her, Thierry smiled softly and greeted Shion.
Shion, who nodded his head to greet him, asked straight away.
“ What special things happened while I was away?”
“ In the Imperial Castle, there was nothing except the 1st Prince looking for His Majesty. But there was one strange thing outside the imperial castle.”
“ Tell me.”
Thierry, who hesitated for a moment at Shion’s words, slowly opened her mouth.
“ It… … A gigantic tower appeared overnight on the western outskirts of the Empire. However, the tower was the size of a city and its height reached the sky… … .”
Thierry blurs the end of her words, whether it’s hard to believe.
‘ Is it finally open?’
Upon hearing Thierry’s report, Shion’s eyes began to shimmer.
