44 The Assault (2)
It was a sudden, truly shocking statement, but Shion thought it was worth trying.
‘ In fact, even the Pope said that there was a possibility that Rubrios would give up the competition on his own.’
The reason I thought so was simple.
If the first prince had heard all of what happened in Rezero and the Church of Light, he would also have heard that Sion himself was assigned by Luminus or went through the advent.
If so, he must have had a tremendous influence on him, a fanatic to the extent that more or no less than the Pope.
It was a little different from the truth, but at least on the surface, no one in history has ever received so much attention from the light.
According to Rubrios’ standards, a being who ascended the throne as a representative of God and spreads the will of light in the world could have been the most suitable.
It probably doesn’t show it outwardly, but on the inside, he’s very confused.
in reality,
“… … .”
Rubrios remained silent, not immediately rejecting Zion’s words.
His eyes look complicated.
How quiet did it go?
“ I can’t answer that right now.”
1 From the prince’s mouth came a more subdued voice.
As Shion had thought, Rubrios was hesitating.
The greatest purpose of his ascension to the throne is to make the state religion of the Empire the Church of Light, so that all the people will serve Luminus.
If what the church had heard was true, it might have been right for Zion to rise, but he didn’t know if the emperor, Zion, would spread the meaning of light like himself.
In addition, there was still a deeply ingrained idea in his mind that he was the only child worthy of the throne.
“… … I’ll think about it for now, so I’d like to talk about it again later.”
Various thoughts were swirling and collided, so that was all I could say.
“ I believe it won’t take long.”
Shion smiled and nodded, as if penetrating Lubrios’ heart.
I didn’t even think that I would accept this offer right from the start.
For now, just knowing the heart of the first prince was a good achievement.
“ How much do you know?”
With those words, a low question flowed from Shion’s mouth, who tilted the teacup once.
“ What did you mean?”
“ About the hidden monsters.”
“… … All I know is the demons revealed from the Church of Light this time and some demons hiding in the Church of Light in the Hwangseong Fortress. But I do know that there are far more undisclosed ones.”
It was a guess at first, but after a large number of demons were discovered in the Church of Light, it had changed to certainty.
If the Church of Light was like this, it must have been deeply rooted in the Imperial Castle, which was the center of the empire.
“ And I think that Enoch, Utekan, and the Ascalon family, where you took your life, are also related to the devil… … right?”
“ Do you still know quite a bit?”
Looking at Lubrios like that, Shion, who smiled brightly, snapped his finger once.
OK,
Damn it!
As the water vapor in the air froze, a huge ice sheet was created.
Appearing on such a plate of ice is a map representing the entire empire.
“ The areas marked in black are the places where the magician’s touch has been reached.”
Along with those words, a black dot made of darkness dyed the golden part of the map black.
As a starting point, the black dots start to appear on the map over and over again.
From the Ascalon family and the Ozrima family, to the Five Great Gates surrounding the Imperial Castle, and to the Church of Light.
‘ Also… … .’
Whether he had expected it up to this point, there was a young light in Lubrios’s eyes that he knew it would happen.
It was strange that he had already extended his demonic beasts to the Ascalon family and hadn’t touched the other five great families.
However, the eyes of the first prince soon began to be colored with surprise.
After that, the speed at which the black dot was drawn did not decrease at all.
Thumbs up!
A black dot that spreads across the entire empire beyond the capital in an instant.
“… … !”
Perhaps even that wasn’t enough, the black dots stopped spreading only after covering up to three generations of apocryphal giants such as giant colony, fairy rim, and Su In-hae.
No, it was not appropriate to say that it had stopped.
Because the whole map was already dyed black.
“… … .”
Rubrios stared blankly at the map with a shocked face.
I knew it was serious, but I never imagined it would be this big.
It wouldn’t be strange if the whole of the empire was passed on to the devil right now.
Of course, it was simply to mark the place touched, not complete domination, but even so, this made no sense.
‘ What kind of fight have you been fighting until now? … .’
With that thought, Rubrios looked at Zion with astonished eyes.
Whether he knows his thoughts or not, with a calm face, Shion erases the ice map floating in the air.
It was the first time that the fact that had been thoroughly hidden was revealed to the same royal family, but there was no disturbance in Shion’s eyes.
Sion had long thought that if there was anyone in the royal family who could reveal this fact, it would be Rubrios.
The reason was simple.
‘ Lubrios is a fanatic enough to spread rumors throughout the empire.’
That means that he dedicated his everything to Luminus, the god of light.
Therefore, there was no possibility of being deceived by the magic station itself.
In addition, in the chronicle, the only member of the royal family who did not have any monsters among his close associates was the first prince.
However, until now, the possibility of becoming an enemy was greater, so I did not say it.
“… … Zion, that’s what you said a while ago.”
Lubrios, who looked at Zion with his shaky eyes for a moment, slowly opened his mouth as if he had decided something.
“ It hasn’t changed that I can’t give you an answer right away, but one thing has changed my mind.”
“ What?”
“ In matters related to the demons that have permeated the Empire, we will not only cooperate, but will completely follow your opinion.”
It was a word that did not fit his inclination to always lead and rule over everything, but he took this situation seriously.
“ Do whatever you want.”
At the words of the first prince, it was time for Shion to put down the finished teacup on the table with a grin.
“ By the way, Zion.”
From Lubrios’ mouth came a cold voice that had a different feel than before.
“ Are the guys outside right now your guests?”
words whose meaning is unknown.
There was no one outside the current cafe.
Because Riusina had already returned to the Imperial Castle, and the owner of the cafe had him leave work together.
The view outside the window was also the lake that continued to ripple due to the pouring rain.
“ I thought you were guests, didn’t you?”
However, as if he understood the words, Sion naturally asked.
“ If it weren’t for both of us guests, there seems to be only one left.”
enemy.
That moment,
Whoops!
The speed of the raindrops reflected out of the window slowed to a noticeable degree for an instant.
Rain falling slowly as if time had slowed down.
At the moment when Rubrios is about to get up from the anomaly, Kwagwa and overgrowth!
Almost all the raindrops suspended in the air were colored black and swelled up, causing a huge explosion.
A cafe building that disappears without leaving a shape in the relentless explosion and a lake that vibrates and pours water in the aftermath.
Before the vibration of the lake disappears,
slurp-
From the empty air, dozens of monsters with purple skin and human form appeared.
Explicit magic was flowing out of the bodies of such monsters as if they had no objection.
“ Make sure to finish it.”
The moment a cold voice came out of the mouth of the monster, the demon, who seemed to be the leader among them, Pababat!
Some of them ran towards the center of the blast, which is still dusty.
Very quick and systematic movement.
Soon after, their new models completely disappeared into the dust.

Momentary silence.
and,
Whoa ah ah ah!
An explosion of pure white light erupted from the inside.
Quang!
As soon as the light subsided, the demons who had entered the dust were thrown out, turning into charred corpses that could not be recognized.
“ Darling demons like trash… … .”
A muffled murmur echoed through the dust.
With him, Rubrios, wrapped in divine flames like the light of the sun, slowly walked out with an arrogant gaze.
The moment you see it, your body trembles so overwhelmingly.
“ Power attack.”
The demons, who were still maintaining their composure while watching the scene, rushed towards the first prince at once according to the command of the chief.
But at that moment,
“You can’t just look at it.”
With a languid voice coming from behind,
Gee!
A fine solid line was drawn on the necks of five or six demons nearby.
Along the solid line, the heads separated from the body fall helplessly down.
Thumbs up!
At the same time as the heads of those demons touched the floor, the owner of the voice slowly appeared from behind.
Surrounded by ominous darkness, a man smiling while looking at the demons.
It was Zion.
Nettle!
Was he not at all shocked by the sudden death of his colleagues?
The two demons closest to each other swung their deformed arms towards Zion without hesitation.
An attack that occupies all the space above and below and erases the place to avoid.
Just as these attacks were about to reach Zion’s body,
tuk.
Shion’s toes, which had suddenly stretched out, slightly touched the demonic attacks coming from below.
As a result, the path changed and the demon arm soared upwards, Kwaang!
It collided with another demon’s arm and made a loud noise.
While the arms of the two demons were blocked,
Bubbly!
Heuk Seong-ha, who did not miss the gap, swept through them, and immediately exploded their heads.
Before the corpses of demons who lost their heads like that fell to the floor, a new version of Shion that jumped out toward other demons.
I wondered if hundreds of black dots would appear around such Zion, Papa Papa!
They scattered and were shot in all directions.
Sunspots all over the whole body of the demons without a single error.
Kwagwagwagwang!
Perhaps that wasn’t the end of it, the sunspots exploded and the demons’ bodies began to be erased without leaving a trace.
As a result, a large vacant lot is created around Zion.
“ First, stop them from moving!”
Is it because nearly a third of the power was lost in an instant?
For the first time, a cry filled with urgency erupted from the mouth of the chief demon who was leading the battle.
Slow down, crush, blind.
According to those words, the demons, who spread the distance, began pouring out all kinds of curse words towards Zion.
I wondered if the numerous abnormal magics that were triggered by that would suppress Shion’s body for a while, but it was the second stage of the delusion.

Mang wedding cap (亡魂鉀).
Fuhwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
I wondered if the darkness that surrounded Zion’s whole body like smoke would change to the form of armor, then burned like crazy and started eating all of these recipes.
Together with him, it was caught in Zion’s right hand and absorbed all the surrounding light.
Then Agdvar started vibrating like crazy,

Myeongroe (冥雷).
Let’s weave!
Swinged by Zion, dozens of black lightning bolts poured out from its trajectory.
Without properly recognizing the lightning bolts that were shot at the speed of light, the demons that were penetrated could not even scream and perished.
“ Why… … .”
For the first time, the feeling of fear was young in the eyes of the remaining demons looking at it.
They were elite.
Among the newly dispatched units from the Magic Station this time, they are among the top five elites.
‘ Surely he said he would be able to deal with it enough… … .’
But I never dreamed that I would be pushed so overwhelmingly.
quagga gag!
All the attacks they shoot are blocked or bounced off, and on the other hand, all the attacks that the opponent pours are locked in their vital points.
And the bigger problem is that there is not one such opponent.
on the other side too,
Tuquaang!
A blonde man wearing a light armor all over his body was slaughtering at almost the same speed, shooting holy spirits in all directions.
As a result, the number of demons rapidly decreased.
When he was young with embarrassment on the faces of the demons,
‘ Something different.’
Shion thought while piercing the hearts of the three demons rushing from the side with a single blow.
It has been subjected to numerous raids in the meantime, but this raid was different from other raids in its nature.
It is said to be the outskirts, but from the attack without hiding the magic within the capital, to the boldness of targeting two royal families at the same time.
If it wasn’t certain, it didn’t fit at all with the previous attempts to move as secretly as possible.
‘ But he’s too weak for that.’
It wasn’t that the demons themselves were weak.
Rather, he was strong and systematically well trained.
However, it was just not enough to deal with Zion himself.
Those guys who dare to fall like this from the demonic powerhouse that can guess their own strength to some extent.
It was not included in the ‘Seven Heavens’, but there was only one reason to send when there was a first prince with a power similar to that of Evelyn.
‘ It must be a hand that is thrown away from the beginning.’
The reason could not be confirmed because there were various reasons, but there was a high probability that the subject, or the link leading to the subject, was nearby.
Because there was no way I could use a hand like this without meaning.
sususu-
The Black Seongha, which secretly emanates from the whole body of Zion, who ceaselessly slaughters demons, begins to spread out in all directions through the darkness in the rain.
The sense of Zion rapidly expanding with him.
Soon after,
“I found it.”
Shion’s eyes lit up with a cold light.
