52 Organizing the Interior(5)
“ Really… … Are you okay?”
Next to Evelyn, who was slowly moving along Guando on a white white horse, Dierned, the 1st division commander of the Gray Lions and her confidant, followed along while riding a black horse and asked.
His face when he asked the second princess like that was very cautious.
“ Have you not worked hard to ascend the throne for a long time, or almost your entire life?”
“ I am fine. No, it’s not good enough, it’s remorseful.”
Turning her head toward such a knight, Evelyn opened her mouth.
“ As you know, I have tried to ascend to the throne because there was no one suitable to bear the burden. But now that a suitable person has appeared, I think it is appropriate to hand it over.”
“ That person is Prince Zion.”
Evelyn didn’t reply to that, but Diorned could read the light of positivity in her eyes.
“ I’m sorry to all of you who believed in me and followed me until now. I decided to do this big thing on my own without saying anything.”
“ Yes, my lord. To be honest, I was a little sad this time. Could you please just say a word?”
2 Dear Ned, who responded with a playful expression to the princess’s words, continued with a smile.
“ This does not mean that I am dissatisfied with your decision. In fact, whether you ascend to the throne or not is not a very important factor for us to follow you.”
Yes, it was from the beginning.
Diorned himself and all the knights here were drawn to Evelyn’s righteous charisma, fairness, and personality.
“ We would have followed His Majesty, even if he wasn’t a member of the Imperial family, even if he wasn’t strong enough to be called the strongest knight. So you don’t have to worry about that.”
A bond that was not bound by status or status already existed between them.
“ We are always on your side”
Evelyn smiled softly as she looked at the other knights who had the same gaze.
There were always people here to help her.
“ Coming to think of it, it seems that you, Dearnad, gave me a lot of advice and bitterness about the throne.”
“ Haha, back then, your Highness wanted to ascend to the throne. I just want you to achieve what you want.”
Evelyn, who smiled as she looked at Diened, who passed like a serpent as usual, turned her gaze to the front again.
‘ After completing the work on this border, I must help Zion in earnest to normalize the empire.’
The gray sky reflected in the eyes of the 2nd Princess as if to inform that they had arrived at the border with the Demon Station.
The sky seemed a little darker than usual.
* * *
The center of the capital Hubris.
“ This is… … What happened?”
While muttering like that, Diena watched the battle between Shion and Ilias, the chieftain of Palantir, that was taking place right in front of her.
Her eyes were dyed with doubts about the battles of completely unexpected characters.
The reason she is here now is simple.
A few hours ago, Diena was participating in an event for the fairies who had settled in the capital along with Hallegrion, who had returned to the Imperial Castle for some reason.

Meanwhile, she stopped the event due to a loud noise from the next door and came out, and the current scene unfolded in her eyes.
“ Let’s find out right now!”
One of the subordinates who said that from behind ran straight to somewhere, but Diena was so focused on the battle in front of her that she couldn’t even look at it.
Quang! Quang! Aww!
No, it was correct to say that he understood the meaning behind that battle.
Because the Zion Agnes she knew would never have done something like this for no reason at all.
“ What are you going to do, my lord?”
Hallegrion, who was next to Diena, asked quietly.
“ For now, we don’t intervene, we just watch.”
It would be better not to move too hastily until you understand the situation accurately.
“ Okay, by the way, I never thought that the Palantir could be so powerful. Judging only by what you can see, it is already more than ‘sky’, but… … .”
The sight of Ilias, showing off a much more powerful force than is known to the world, was astonishing enough to open her mouth, but Diena’s eyes were not on him.
Also, there was no time to worry about him.
‘ I’m much stronger than before.’
An ominous darkness erupted from Shion’s whole body, weighing down such Iliad by an overwhelming difference.
The darkness had completely taken over her consciousness.
“ Hallegrion.”
Soon after, without taking her eyes off the battle, Diena opened her mouth.
“ Yes, my lord.”
“ How long has Hallegrion lived so far?”
“ A little over two hundred years.”
“ Then, Hallegrion must never have actually seen the Eternal Day that founded the Agnes Empire.”
“ Yes. I’ve only heard anecdotes about him from my ancestors, or a technique or two that he used mainly. That’s not very accurate either… … .”
“ Okay.”
At that answer, the eyes of the 5 princesses were slightly dyed with disappointment.
“ But why are you asking that all of a sudden?”
“… … That darkness that Zion is using now. Doesn’t it look similar to the power said to have been used by the Eternal Eternals?”
“ Hmm, dealing with darkness is similar, but… … Diana-sama, what are you thinking right now? … !”
Diena did not respond to Hallegrion’s words.
Because I’m not sure yet.
From the moment she first suspected her, she began to search all the records of the Eternal Eternity, so she can now confidently say that she knows more about it than anyone else.
But the more I knew, the more my doubts grew.
‘ Is Zion really the descendant of the Eternal Age?’
There was something strange about that.
Because the power of the Age of Eternals, which Diena discovered, could never be passed on to other people or future generations.
‘ That’s why Cheonseonghae, an alternative product, was created… … .’
It was strange to even say that it wasn’t.
Because, in her eyes, that darkness must have been that of the Eternal Age.
Also, the extinct light sword I saw before.
The sword was a weapon that was like a symbol of the Eternal Age.
‘ How the hell does Zion use that power?’
incomprehensible contradiction.
The contradiction was making Diana so confused.
‘ Obviously, only you know that you can use it… … .’
at that time,
“ aah!”
A devastating scream erupted from the mouth of one of the two men fighting fiercely in front.
It was Ilias who uttered that scream.
His humiliation was so tragic.
“ Turn it off… … .”
One eye that has already disappeared and the whole body that does not exist as a holy place.
In addition, the hole in his chest, from which blood was flowing, was surprisingly fatal that he was still alive.
No, it was right that my life had to be taken because my heart was actually broken in half.
Nevertheless, the reason he is still alive is because ouroboros’ Arcane Power was automatically activated shortly after his heart was pierced by Sion’s anomalous attack using Dark Souls.
Anyway, barely holding on was all I had to do.
“ How… … .”
In the eyes of Ilias, there was urgency and despair at the same time.
Now, he was deeply feeling how arrogant his assessment was when he first saw Prince Zion.
Prince Zion was much stronger than he thought, and the difference was so overwhelming that his original skills could never fill it.
Therefore, even the plan of getting out of the seat while fighting the battle could not be carried out.
It was only possible with a certain amount of skill backed up to aim for a gap.
‘ How could this be?’
Yes, I could understand it to some extent if it was because of the difference in absolute power it had.
However, as Ilias felt, the gap between himself and Prince Zion was not that great.
Rather, the difference is other than power.
Tuquaah!
Breathing, sensory, mystical control, weaponry, and more.
In all respects, there was a huge gap.
It’s like reading the future.
Kwagak! quagga!
All attacks made by Ilias himself were blocked without being properly activated.
bang! bang! bang! Quang!
Conversely, all the attacks that Prince Zion makes lightly are locked into his body as a critical blow.
It would be absolutely impossible without a lot of combat experience along with innate combat skills.
‘ Prince Zion, who has only been through a real battle for a year… … Why did I feel like a veteran of a hundred thousand battles!’
A situation that cannot be understood.
No, if you think about it, the fact that you were being pushed to the sky was already incomprehensible.
But Ilias could no longer think about him.
“ Do you think you can afford it yet? I think about other things during the battle.”
Quad Duck!
Because in front of his eyes, Prince Sion was putting another fatal blow in his body with a creepy smile.
‘ If you keep going like this, you will surely die, then… … .’
As a result, suppressing the scream that was about to burst out of its own accord, Ilias firmly grabbed the spear in his hand.
That moment,
Shea ah ah ah ah!
With a sound that sounded as if countless snakes were howling at the same time, an incomparable density of morale began to burst out of his body.
Ouroboros’ arcane power, ‘Dead Sea’, was activated in earnest.
There was a huge penalty after one use, but now I can’t afford to weigh that.
Because life had to be attached to make a promise for the next one.
Suddenly, like that of a snake, Ilias speared the spear in a straight line towards Zion.
An honest blow with no virtuosity.
But the power that erupted from him was completely different.
As if hundreds of snakes wrapped around each other.
A bundle of intertwined morale shoots aiming only at Zion.
Thing blah blah blah!
A new version of Shion that is pushed back even after taking out Giga Perses and Muspelheim to defend it.
Ilias did not follow Zion like that.
He paused on the spot and immediately prepared for the next attack.
‘ This blow ends the battle.’
Before Prince Zion adapts to this power.
Before properly estimating the difference in power with oneself amplified by the Dead Sea.
Ilias thought that the best chance of winning was to put all of his strength into an end at once.
Easy profit!
The ‘dead sea snakes’ that capture Iliath’s wind begin to wrap around his spear.
Dozens, hundreds, not thousands.
A fraud that is amplified without knowing its end.
Whooing!
The earth, which could not withstand the power, shook and shattered.
The surrounding buildings collapse due to the unstable oscillating space.
“ Aww!”
The people watching screamed as if they felt the overwhelming power transmitted from the scam, but they couldn’t move on the spot as if their trembling feet weren’t falling.
In the meantime, Ilias’ morale, which had been continuously summoned, finally,
“ Take it, Your Majesty Zion.”
It was shot toward Zion in the shape of a huge red snake centered on the spear.
A blow with unimaginable power so that even Diena, who was nearby, shuddered for a moment.
‘ Is that still the head of Ouroboros?’
Shion thought so and looked at the giant snake approaching him.
Surely, that blow from Ilias contained so much power that even Shion himself would find it difficult to take it head-on.
However,
‘ There’s nothing I can’t do.’
I told you to take it, so if you take it, that’s it.
With that thought, Shion smiled and grabbed the air.
Shrek-
Eclaxia is caught immediately.
Shion took a large step forward and lowered her body, just as if her feet were taking a pose, it was the moment when she attached a sword of extinction to her side.
Whoa!
A pure white sphere that did not match the Black Star appeared in front of Zion’s eyes.
A sphere that radiates intense light in all directions like a small sun.
with him,
hey hey!
A lunar eclipse and a partial lunar eclipse are activated at the same time, and darkness begins to overlap endlessly with the pulled Zion’s Iklaxia.
With him everything around him starts to slow down.
In addition, the entire space, including Zion, becomes so quiet that even the sound of a single particle falling can be heard.
As if time seemed to stop.
All flows in space stop.
Shrek-
slowly.
Iklaxia drawn alone in a space that has stopped like that.
Finally, it was the moment when such an extinct light sword cut through the tiny sun in front of Zion’s eyes.
Once (day).
———————–!
From end to end of sight.
Along the one line drawn in the world, everything that exists is splitting at the same time,
“ I, that one!!!!!”
Hallegrion, who was watching the scene, widened so much that he couldn’t grow any more.
