49 The Grand Duke of Frenzy (2)
Frenzy Archduke Acrimosia.
One of the two archdukes that appear directly in the chronicle, and one who fought a battle with the warriors.
Therefore, Zion was immediately recognizable as soon as he saw it.
‘ Why is the Grand Duke of Frenzy here?’
If it was originally, there were no beings that corresponded to the Great Supply at this time.
No, to be precise, you were right that he couldn’t appear.
Since they each had a different ‘destiny of destruction’, their strength reached half a body, but the limitations they had were enormous.
Of course, those constraints are naturally loosened as the end of the world approaches.
However, at the moment, it must be so severe that it is impossible to bring out its original power unless it is within the magic power.
I couldn’t understand why he showed up here until he had to endure it.
“ It’s amazing. How could someone like you come out of a human race? I’m not even a warrior. And it only took a year or so to have this level of strength? Does that make sense?”
Acrimosia leaned back and pulled her upper body forward and looked at Zion.
A girl’s eyes full of interest.
“ I am so excited. I didn’t know that such a big rat would crawl out already.”
A cold voice came out of Shion’s mouth, looking directly at the archduke’s eyes.
“ Huh? Do you know who I am?”
The frantic Archduke who smiled at him,
“ I’m curious. Every day, the kids below me say Zion Agnes and Zion Agnes, but once I saw them with my own eyes, I would be able to relax.”
I answered Zion’s words.
“ But isn’t it a bit strange to call me a mouse bastard? That’s what the stronger one does to the weaker one. That’s enough to catch and kill at any time.”
With those words, the interest in Acrimosia’s eyes begins to turn into madness.
at that time,
“ Who are you!”
One of the wizards who was watching the scene nearby opened his mouth as he approached Acrimosia.
“ Who are you to speak such disrespectful words to His Majesty Zion… … !”
Before the magician’s words were even finished,
“ Do not interfere.”
A completely different cold voice came out of the archduke’s mouth.
That moment,
Quad Duck!
Without any warning, the entire body, except for the wizard’s head, was torn off by something invisible.
Tuk, Degur.
The wizard’s head fell down and rolled on the floor.
The wizard’s face was frozen as if he was not aware that he was dead, as he shouted to the girl.
It was a moment when the eyes of the people who saw the terrifying sight were shaking.
Ded Ded Dude!
The presence that had been hidden from Acrimosia’s whole body exploded like an explosion, and it began to crush the entire lecture hall.
No, the presence of the Archduke begins to extend beyond the lecture hall to the entire city.
The movements of the wizards, eroded by the presence that lightly transcends the limits of mortality, stop.
It’s like being prey caught in a spider’s web.
A body that hardened without moving a single eyebrow or a finger.
‘ Can’t breathe… … !’
Among them, the wizards and students of shallow skill were unable to withstand the pressure and fell with blood squirting from their eyes and noses.
“ Is this enough that I can’t intervene?”
It was time for the frantic Grand Duke to look at such people with a satisfied expression.
“ It certainly doesn’t sound like a rat.”
A low voice echoed in her ear.
At that voice, Acrimosia’s eyes turned to Zion again, and for the first time, she began to be surprised.
Sion Agnes is looking at this side with calm eyes that make him look bored.
It looked nothing like the first time, but
‘ You mean the same thing?’
That was what surprised her.
Even though she was bound by restrictions, it was the presence that Acrimosia herself made up her mind to reveal.
The sense of pressure that was derived from it was not something he could take casually like that.
‘ Even if there must be a sign of discomfort… … .’
There was also no such thing.
“ You… … Are you really a fun guy?”
With that murmur, when the childish surprise in Acrimosia’s eyes turns into greater interest from the beginning,
‘ How do you… … .’
From the depths of Zion’s eyes, looking at the frantic Grand Duke, a light of concern was rising.
Heukseongha is said to have reached the 6th star and possesses two types of divine powers, but Shion knew that he was not yet able to reach the beings in front of him.
As proof of that, I was able to free myself from the presence of Acrimosia only after raising the Black Star to the maximum and using a lunar eclipse.
‘ It would be possible somehow if it was the four grand dukes of the First War… … .’
The four grand princes appearing in the chronicles were of a much higher level because they were the beings who directly led the end of the world.
To the extent that it is one step higher than the apocalyptic dragon I saw in the previous trial of the Tower of Causality.
Of course, if you use ‘Cronus’ Question’, you could definitely destroy the monster in front of you, but you couldn’t.
Because the remaining two questions had a separate place to use.
In fact, I was going to leave about one extra question in case this happens, but I used that extra when dealing with the fallen angels last time in Rezero.
Therefore, Zion’s troubles had to deepen.
at that time,
“ If this is enough, you can expect enough.”
Acrimosia, who was looking at Zion in a moment of sudden bursting, suddenly turned her body to the other side.
At the same time, I wondered if the space in front of her would shake, and a large iron door with the faces of distorted demons engraved in it appeared.
“ I believe you will make me more interesting than now the next time I see you.”
A girl who walks towards the iron door that opens slowly with a rusty sound.
“… … Are you just going?”
“ Of course. I told you before. He said he came to ‘see’ it with his own eyes. You see, now I have to go.”
It was an action that was completely incomprehensible, but it was also an action that was possible enough for a mad prince who was originally mad.
Zion did not catch such an archduke.
‘ Good job.’
Even as Zion, it was not something he wanted to clash with one of the Archdukes here.
at that time,
“ Hmm, but it’s no fun if I just go, so should I give you a present?”
Acrimosia, who had stopped moving through the iron gate, muttered like that, and turned to face Zion again.
A small sphere protruded from the fingertips of the Archduke extending along with him.
A dark red sphere made of some of her power, ‘Frenzy’.
Such a sphere absorbs all the power that exists around it, and its size is called out in an instant, and then it begins to extend toward Zion.
It looked as if a small sun was rising.
ggggggggg!
A broken space and a distorted time.
‘ Ah… … !’
The faces of some of the top wizards, including Ahmad, who looked at the scene, began to turn white.
They were feeling it instinctively.
The moment the sun with unfathomable power is completed, the floating city with the name of Adegrifa will disappear without a trace.
‘ Die.’
It was a moment when those thoughts came to their minds with him.
Tuoung!
Sion, who was looking at the sun with freezing cold eyes, began to move.
As if taking a stance just before pulling out a sword, Shion stepped forward and attached Iklaxia to his side.
At the same time,
hey hey!
With such Zion’s sword, the dark areas that were expanding and encroaching on the surrounding space are sucked in in the reverse order and begin to form a single line.
2 stacks of lunar eclipses.
3 stacks of partial lunar eclipses.
And the explosive amplification that follows!
‘ Before it is completed, it cuts off the core with one blow.’
Quad Duck!
Shion, who had calmed down by grabbing Iklaxia, who screamed at the power beyond imagination condensed in an instant, even stronger, looked at the approaching sun with her black eyes.
What was reflected in Zion’s eyes was the shape of the invisible tiny core that existed inside the sun.
As if aiming at such a nucleus, Shion leaned even lower.
In the meantime, it was the moment when the frenzied sun that was nearing completion was about to release all the power it had absorbed.
cut off light.
A momentary stillness as if time had stopped.
In the midst of this, Iklaxia, moving alone, begins to draw an indescribable curve in the distorted space.
very slowly.
A curve that cuts through the light.
And finally, the moment when such a curve completely rips apart the deepest core of the dark red sun, wow!
An explosion of dark light erupted from it and began to color the entire floating city dark red.
“ Also, you… … !”
And in such a world that is dyed with light, the frantic Grand Duke, who smiled brightly at Zion more than ever, completely disappeared.
* * *
A quiet forest far away from a wealthy city.
Chunkyung!
In the middle of a forest where only small beasts exist as living things, an iron gate of a demon that doesn’t fit in there at all appeared.
And a girl appears from beyond that iron gate.
It was Acrimosia, the Grand Duke of Frenzy.
“ Sion Agnes… … .”
Acrimosia’s face, muttering that name, was remembered.
I mean, it’s been awhile since I’ve felt my heart pounding.
It was almost the first beating of my heart since I tore and killed one of the Four Grand Princes in the past and took his place.
“ It was good that I went to see it in person.”
Freshness and excitement enough to blow away the boredom he had felt so far was flowing through Acrimosia’s whole body.
In particular, the sword strike that split the sun he had created at the end was even exhilarating.
‘ To feel this kind of feeling for a being who doesn’t even have the destiny of salvation… … .’
Of course, it’s still not close enough to you, but as time goes by, you’ll have enough power to satisfy yourself.
‘ But that power seems to be familiar somewhere. I definitely didn’t see it… … .’
The eyes of Acrimosia, who tilted her head for a moment with him,
“… … Well?”
When he found something, he was impressed.
“ What is this, I wasn’t the only one who gave you a present?”
Saying that, the frantic Archduke smiled.
In her eyes, a part of the dress that had been sharply cut and a fairly deep wound that had been exposed inside were reflected.
* * *
After work at Saferan School of Magic, Adegripa was literally stunned.
It was very shocking to discover the demons hiding in the city, but the appearance of the frantic Grand Duke Acrimosia made everyone astonished.
Is it because he has never been attacked by a demon so far, and his belief that it will continue to be so has been shattered.
The wealthy city’s leaders began to search the entire city, raising its borders almost to wartime, and the city’s wizards agreed.
That’s why the recent events were so threatening.
In fact, the whole city was almost blown away.
In addition, the empire that heard the news was also tainted with chaos, and it was natural for them to strengthen their vigilance posture.
Along with that, there were even opinions that the war with the demon station had reached the point of view due to this incident.
The edge of a floating city with such chaos and bustle.
“ Are you going down right away?”
There were Zion standing in front of the warp gate and the city leaders who came out to see off such Zion.
“ Let’s stay a little longer. Isn’t the exchange meeting over yet?”
Archendelt opens his mouth to Shion with a sad expression on his face.
In fact, the exchange meeting was just an excuse, and the real purpose was a reward.
In return for saving this city twice from Stigma and the Frantic Archduke.
Among them, Akendelt recalled the second moment, which was both dizzying and thrilling.
If the man in front of him had not been there, the city would have been destroyed.
That is why he was more grateful to Prince Zion.
“ No, you have to go now.”
I guessed Akendelt’s mind like that, but Shion shook his head.
Because I had work to do right away.
It was more urgent than the Grand Duke of Frenzy at the moment.
“ And I hope to see you again soon anyway.”
“ Yes? What do you mean?”
Archendelt’s eyes change in amazement at Shion’s next words.
It seemed that Obergia had not yet received a word.
Shion, who did not bother to answer him, turned towards the warp gate.
Wrath!
A warp gate that greets Zion with a bright light as if prepared in advance.
At the same time, behind Zion, Archendelt and the wizards of the floating city gathered there begin to bow their heads deeply.
“ Then I look forward to seeing you again, Prince Zion Agnes.”
The greeting was full of sincerity.
Shion, who smiled at him, pushed himself into the gate without hesitation.
world conference.
One of the largest conventions on earth and one of the most important gates to determine the next great throne was finally approaching.
I wonder when the final 2 questions of Krono’s questions are gonna be used?
Maybe against the Fairy heaven? Or against another of the Princes
