46 Six Claws(1)
4th participants had exited, the Tower of Causality did not allow any more people in.
And leaving the tower behind, the silver-haired woman and her party were walking.
“ We never met after all.”
The woman who was at the forefront of them all of a sudden murmured darkly.
There was no subject, but Turzan and Lane knew who the word meant.
It must be a man named ‘Zion Harness’.
“ Don’t be too disappointed. As you guessed, if he really knows the future, we will surely meet again someday.”
“ Okay, let’s focus on other things than that for now.”
A faint smile appeared on the woman’s lips, who had been comforted by her colleagues.
Whenever this happened, once in a while, memories with colleagues from before the return came to her mind.
“ Yeah, that’s right.”
It would be right to stop regretting it and focus on what you can do right now.

Moreover, since I received a reward that was one level lower than the one I was originally going to receive in the Tower of Causality, it was right that the next schedule had to be rushed that much.
“ But where are you going now?”
Lane followed her next to her and asked.
Although she could not obtain the desired reward in the Tower of Causality, her face did not look so dark when she asked that question.
The reason was simple.
After a great achievement in her battle with the remnants of the Frost Queen in her last ordeal.
In Lane’s opinion, it was far more valuable than the material reward.
“ I’m going back to the capital.”
To such a lane, the woman answered with a better voice.
“ There are things to do there… … There are people I need to meet.”
With those words, a person came to her mind.
That person was Prince Zion Agnes, the first and biggest variable that a woman thinks of.

Whoops!
This is a newly developed model, inside a horsepower car designed to run on roads other than roads.
Sion was organizing his thoughts while looking out the window at Hubris, the capital city that was getting closer.
‘I gained a lot from this attack on the Tower of Causality.’
First of all, Muspelheim, the god of the fire god Loki.
It was right to view this journey as a success just by obtaining this piece of armor.
In fact, even though Shion already had a defense technology called ‘Spirit of the Soul’, it was only a technology and could not be a perfect defense system.

Muspelheim was something that could fill all those loopholes.
In addition, the value itself was beyond imagination.
Among the mythical Noble Phantasm that he has acquired so far, if he had to pick the one that boasts the best performance and rank, it could be called ‘Kronos’ Five Questions’.
A god representing Kronos, the god of time.
The ten thousand armor pieces were a divine spirit that was equivalent to those five questions.
‘ Of course, in terms of performance, I don’t know.’
It’s something you’ll have to figure out in the future.
In addition, the Muspelheim was a useful item for any event that would later occur.
‘ And this.’
With that thought, Shion turned her gaze out of the window and looked at the blue marble in her hand.
This marble passed the final ordeal and was the first prize received at the time of settlement.
And the identity of the marble was surprising enough even for Zion.
‘ You’ll get it here.’
It was the last piece of the Frost Queen’s power, which was called ‘Sorrow of the Frost Queen’.
The object that the criminal organization Ouroboros gave up looking for, and Zion had also given up half of finding it because the location was not listed in the chronicle.
‘ Muspelheim’ was the expected reward, this power fragment could be said to be an unexpected reward.
‘ Obviously, this was not the original reward for first place.’
Is it a coincidence?
Or is it intentional?
Nine out of ten, Zion saw it as the latter.
Otherwise, Loki wouldn’t have said that at the end.
‘ In any case, you were going to push me… … .’
Is that the thought of Loki alone or of the whole group?
And although it is currently unknown whether there were any other intentions, it would be right to consider it a good thing for now.
‘I’ll try to figure it out and combine the pieces of power a little later.’
For now, there was something else to take care of.
“ So… … There was a battle in the middle of the capital?”
Having finished thinking about the Tower of Causality, Shion looked at Eileen who was sitting in front of her and opened her mouth.
At that, Eileen nodded and opened her mouth in a businesslike tone.
“ Yes. It was not just a battle, but a battle large enough to expose an enormous amount of magic and destroy a mansion and the entire surrounding area.”
“ And those who fought the battle were these two, Liusina and Lubrius?”
“That ’s right.”
“ Tell me in more detail.”
I had listened to it briefly before leaving, but because it was a brief summary, I still did not know exactly what Zion was.
“ Do you remember the demons who attacked your majesty before leaving for the tower?”
“ Yes.”
“ It started when a thousand-year-old witch found out the location of those demons.”
Eileen’s explanation that followed him was somewhat predictable.
Having found the location, Liusina stormed the mansion where the demons were staying with the first prince, and immediately there was a battle so large that it chaosed the entire capital.
However, the result was beyond Zion’s expectations.
Contrary to what I expected to win, Riusina and the 1st Prince were seriously injured in the battle.
“ They say that they are not defeated because they both suffered fatal wounds, but for that reason, Prince Rubrios and the Thousand-Year-Old Witch are now secretly being treated in the Imperial Castle.”
“ How did that happen?”
“ It wasn’t a situation to ask, so until that point… … .”
At that answer, Zion’s eyes sank deeply.
Riosina and Rubrios.
It was obviously a wrong move for the two of them to move without telling him, but Shion thought it was possible.
‘ He must have had that much confidence.’
In fact, that confidence was justified.
‘ Seven Heavens’, but as Zion guessed, both of them had the strength to match them.
Their power was so great that it would not be pushed against anyone in the world, except for the first and second heavens, Iveline Agnes, which are called the heavenly heavens among the ‘Seven Heavens’.
‘ The fact that the two of them suffered fatal wounds means that the guy you saw last time is that strong?’
The instigator of the last cafe attack.
I couldn’t understand it properly because I saw it from a distance, but the atmosphere and energy I felt was definitely the ‘six claws’, the highest-ranking executive in the magic station.
‘ Omaryeong Serkia, who was next to him, was weaker than Utekan, so he wouldn’t have been an opponent from the beginning. … .’
It didn’t make sense at all.
Even the one who is at the top of the six claws by force will have a hard time fighting them both at the same time.
Obviously there must be other reasons.
‘ You’ll find out why soon.’
At the end of those thoughts, inside the horse-drawn carriage that was dyed with silence.
how much time has passed
“ I see you, His Majesty Zion.”
Thierry approached with her head bowed as if she was waiting next to Shion who finally got off the horsepower car and entered the Imperial Castle.
“ Where are Riusina and the First Prince?”
Shion nodded at him and immediately asked where the two were.
“I will guide you. Come this way.”
Thierry, realizing that Shion already knew everything, began to walk without saying a word.
“ How are you two?”
“ Uh… … It looks like he was seriously injured… … I think you have to see for yourself and judge for yourself.”
Thierry responds with a strange expression to Shion’s question as she follows him.
At Thierry’s answer, Shion’s eyes were dyed with doubt.
However, the moment he followed him and arrived in front of the hospital room where Rubrios and Liusina were together, Zion knew what his answer meant.
“ Hey hahaha!”
Riusina’s characteristic high-pitched laughter coming from the inside.
That laugh sounded too normal to be called a critically ill person.
“ Right. Of course the owner is perfect in every way, but sometimes it takes too much weight.”
“ Haha, you agree. Sometimes when I think that maybe my voice is going out to the ground after doing that… … .”
Hearing the sound of the conversation that followed him, Shion entered and saw Rubrios wrapped in bandages all over his body.
The first prince of the Empire who immediately shuts his mouth as soon as he makes eye contact with Shion.
I was sitting with my back against the entrance, so I guess I didn’t notice that Zion had entered.
“ And among the owner’s proprietary words, there’s a saying, ‘By the way,’ isn’t it? Frankly, that too… … Eh? Why are you suddenly shaking your head from side to side?”
Liusina, who was still talking happily, followed Lubrios’s bewildered gaze and turned her head to the back.
“ Lord, lord!”
Upon discovering Shion, her face changes to resemble that of the first prince.
“ Hehe… … I’m here?”
Soon after that, Liusina smiled awkwardly and waved her hand to Shion.
“ I didn’t know the two of them fit together so well.”
“ Big, big… … Are you here, Zion?”
Rubrios also coughed and greeted Shion, who opened her mouth with her eyes narrowed.
Then, Sion stares at the two of them silently, avoiding their gaze in a cold sweat again.
at that time,
Tit!
After entering the Tower of Causality, the Frost Spirit, who had not appeared until now, pokes his head out of Shion’s head and looks at Liusina.
Every time we met, did they fight like an enemy, yet they were affectionate?
The spirit, who looked at Riosina for a while and confirmed that it was okay, Jjaek!
She chirped at her as if teasingly, and disappeared again.
“ That sparrow!”
This time, as if she understood the meaning of the tweet, when Riusina got up from her seat,
“ How are you?”
From Zion’s mouth, a question that entered the main topic flowed out.
He had to be held responsible for moving without heeding his own words, but it was Zion who decided to put it off for now.
“ I can’t say it’s good even with empty words.”
The first prince who answered that way looked fine for a seriously injured person, but the inside was broken to such a degree that there was no sanctified place.
Even a person with enormous divine power would take quite a while to heal.
Liusina had a similar situation.
She was in a state of semi-permanent wounds that could not be regenerated at once even with Sangria Requiem, and was recovering by returning most of her power to it.
“ What happened? Did you get hit by the guy you saw during the raid?”
“ It’s not the guy.”
Riusina shook her head as she looked at Shion who asked that question with subdued eyes.
“ It was the boys.”
“ Guys?”
“ There were two. We’ve never met.”
Waiting for Riusina and Rubrios, who climbed to the top floor of the mansion, destroying everything that stood in the way, was a demon named Hisseller.
He was both strong and cunning to the point where it was hard to guess the end of it, so he realized he was at a disadvantage after a brief battle and without delay opened the space and summoned another demon.
And the demons that came out like that had the same strength as Hisselor.
‘ Did you have one more six claws?’
At that moment, the light of understanding was young in Shion’s eyes after hearing Riusina’s explanation.
Certainly, if there were two claws instead of one, even these two would have had a hard time.
The strength of the claws was beyond imagination as much as their status.
‘ Two of the claws are already coming out.’
It was much faster than the content of the chronicle I had read.
It is probably the result of the accumulation of futures exchanged by Zion himself and the returning hero.
“ Still, I did not lose. No, technically speaking, I think we won. Because he was the first to leave.”
Rubrios’ voice came to Shion’s ears as she was thinking about that.
“That ’s right, even though this side’s injuries were so big that we couldn’t chase it, it’s almost as good as a win.”
Liusina nodded at him and confronted him.
Shion, who shook her head once, got up from her seat at the sight of the two being strangely matched.
There was no need to be here any longer since I checked the condition and even identified the cause of death.
“ Where are you going, master? If I’m going to find them, I… … .”
“ No.”
Shion’s cold voice interrupts Riusina’s words.
“ You focus on your recovery for the time being. Then I will hold you accountable for what you did.”
His voice was low, but it had an irresistible power.
“… … .”
With the witch and the 1st prince behind him, who could not say anything more, Sion went out of the hospital room.
“ What are you going to do?”
Thierry followed up behind Shion and asked.
In fact, even though he asked that question, Thierry already knew the answer.
Because his boss was never the type of person who could stand still even when he was being hurt.
The enemy who reveals this will repay you a hundredfold and a thousandfold.
This was the disposition of Zion that Thierry had seen so far, and it was also one of the reasons why he sincerely followed Zion.
“ I mean.”
As if meeting Thierry’s expectations, Shion’s mouth begins to slowly open as she walks.
“ I hate it when someone touches mine.”
In Shion’s eyes that were so muffled, a deep darkness was burning like a shimmering light.
A fanatic and murderer is quite a pair
