53 Boundary Road (1)
The scene was like the blow of a hero in a myth.
A silent sword that accurately separates the small sun floating in the air and the center of the sun.
And along the trajectory of the sword, even a single black line engraved into the world.
Atmosphere, space, mana.
Everything caught on that line splits.
Then, the split sun explodes, and the bursting light begins to cover it.
Whoa ah ah ah ah!
As a result, the vision turns white.
How much more pure white world could there be?
People could see in the sight that finally returned with the light that was slowly fading away.
“… … !”
A huge snake that was completely split from head to tail along a line and disappeared while flying red ashes, and the spear that existed at the center of the snake.
And even Ilias, who was staring at the scene with a blank expression on his face from behind.
“… … Everything in the world repeats endless death and reincarnation by the cycle of reincarnation.”
From Ilias’ mouth, a voice filled with emptiness slowly came out.
“ That’s why we just wanted to bring death into this world to give everyone a new and equal beginning.”
Then, his body slowly begins to crack.
“ I know.”
Shion smiled at Ilias and opened her mouth.
“ I was just tidying up.”
Arrangement of rats who dare to destroy their own without permission, and arrangement of everything that will hinder them from starting a full-fledged war against the devil.
“… … .”
The chief of Ouroboros did not respond to Zion’s words.
Because I had already stopped breathing before then.
‘ Isn’t it still unreasonable to even amplify the power of a lunar eclipse and a partial lunar eclipse?’
Looking at the corpse cooling off, Shion returned Iklaxia in her hand to the darkness.
‘For once’, which split the red snake that Ilias had just created, was one of the techniques that Zion used to enjoy in the past as the next stage of the Lunar New Year.
Heukseongha reached 6 stars, so I opened it up once, but it didn’t seem like it could be used perfectly yet.
If it had unfolded properly, the moment the sun split, everything that became a target would have been destroyed.
‘ If it’s still like this… … .’
at that time,
“ Master!!!”
A high-pitched voice was heard calling Zion from afar.
Shion’s eyes turned to the side where the voice came from, and the figure of Riusina approaching, waving her hand in this direction, came into view.
‘ I think it’s over over there.’
When Shion smiles at the witch’s face that looks refreshed as if she’s been running wild enough to be satisfied after a long time,
“ Dude, what… … .”
Hallegrion’s eyes, who had been looking at Zion from a distance, were still trembling and fluttering.
“ Why?”
Diana, noticing his condition, asked quietly.
Of course, the blow that Shion showed a while ago was so great that even her mouth opened her mouth, but that didn’t mean it wasn’t that great.
Because there were things I had seen before.
However, Hallegrion seemed even more surprised than when the demons suddenly appeared during the competition.
“… … Diana, do you remember what I told you a little while ago?”
“ What do you mean?”
“ It is said that among the stories of the Eternal Age passed down from the ancestors, it also includes the techniques he used frequently.”
“ Yes, I remember.”
“ The last technique used by Prince Zion… … That technique is one of the techniques of the Age of Eternals that I have been told.”
“!!!!!”
At those words, Diena’s eyes also expanded like Hallegrion.
“ Is that true?”
“ Yeah, exactly like the description I heard.”
The small sun rising before my eyes, the darkness encroaching on the surroundings, the quiet space, and even a single line drawn in the flow of the surroundings that gradually slowed down and eventually stopped.
Except for the power, all parts were so identical that it was difficult to find any differences.
“ I guess… … As Your Highness guessed, Prince Zion seems to have inherited the power of the Eternal Age.”
“ Ha… … .”
At Hallegrion’s confident words, a breath similar to a sigh escaped Diena’s mouth.
It felt like my head, which had been hazy as if I had wandered in the mist, was clearing a little.
But with him, another question comes to mind.
‘ How?’
How did Sion use the power of the Eternal Age, which had already been cut off?

Moreover, his youngest brother, who could not even deal with ordinary mana, let alone natural harm.
No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t even guess the contact point, let alone the method.
‘ Then I have no choice but to ask myself.’
With that thought, Diena walked towards Zion.
“ The darkness you just used.”
As soon as she arrived in front of Zion, her mouth opened.
“ Is it the power of the Eternal Age?”
direct question.
“ What do you think?”
At that, Zion asked Diena.
An ambiguous answer that is neither positive nor negative.
However, since the answer was already available, Diana moved on to the next question.
“ How on earth can you use that power?”
Recognizing that the question came after a lot of deliberation, Sion answered with a smile.
“ Think for a moment. leaving all possibilities open. Then maybe you will find out.”
After saying those words, Zion passed her and started walking.
“… … All possibilities?”
The 5th Princess quietly murmured while looking at the back of Shion, who was gradually moving away with Liusina.

“ There will be a huge war that will never happen again on this continent soon.”
Evelyn slowly opened her mouth while looking at the gray sky that seemed darker than usual.
A large crowd of people were looking at her.
The crowd included Evelyn’s direct unit, the Gray Lions, as well as numerous legions and knights guarding the border.
“ This participation is a cornerstone for our empire to gain a more advantageous position in such a great war. In addition, it will also be a punishment for the demons that have corroded the Empire.”
During the last regular patrol, Evelyn sensed a large-scale movement of numerous high-ranking demons that did not originally exist on the outskirts of the border.
And the present speech was a signal that signaled the beginning of such a subjugation.
“ Those gathered here today… … .”
As the speech continued, the children’s anger in the eyes of the gathered people also began to grow bigger. Despite the fact that they had to go deep into the devil and they had to deal with enemies that were incomparably stronger than before, there was no fear in their eyes.
Lion Princess Evelyn Agnes.
Because the world’s most powerful knight was with them.
Finally,
“ From now on, the subjugation begins.”
At the same time Evelyn’s speech ended,
Whoo!
As if an elaborate cog wheel was rotating, all the troops there began to move in line with each other without a single divergence.
-2 The Princess Departure.
And a demon who was watching it from afar delivered the fact somewhere.

After the Ouroboros Foundation collapsed and the head Ilias died, the remaining branch and other members of the organization also disintegrated.
It was impossible for an organization that had lost its center of gravity to be maintained.
So, the rearrangement went smoothly.
To the extent that all Zion had to do was to wipe out those remnants along with the demons still remaining in the capital.
And the current study of Chimseonggung.
‘ It seems that the work at Hubris has been completed to some extent.’
Shion put down the teacup she was holding in one hand and thought so as she read the progress report that Thierry had offered.
There were two things that Zion considered most important in preparing for the great war.
The first is to subdue all the demons hiding in the Imperial Castle and the Capital.
The second is the perfect subjugation of the three Apocrypha.
Since the first of them has been completed, it can be said that there is one less thing to be concerned about.
There was confusion due to the numerous empty spaces that were created as a result, but it was the chaos that had to be suffered anyway, and it should be sufficiently calmed until the war.
at that time,
“ Oh, right, Master! I have a present!”
Liusina, who was still showing off her friendship with the Frost Spirit even though they had not seen each other for a long time, suddenly clapped her hands and got up from her seat.
Soon after, the witch puts her hand into the subspace that looks like an animal’s mouth and pulls out something.
“ The place I went to this time was near the fairy forest. So it’s something I was really lucky to have.”
With those words, what Riusina offered toward Zion was a teal-colored coffee bean in a small barrel.
“ Wow! It’s called mint coffee, but it’s a rare coffee that is grown in very small quantities even in fairy forests. I heard it is more expensive than gold of the same weight. I tasted a little, but it really makes my mouth feel refreshed… … .”
Before the witch’s words were even finished,
“ I don’t drink.”
Rejection came out of Zion’s mouth faster than ever.
“ Why is it so expensive? … Eh?”
“ He said he didn’t drink.”
Liusina’s face changed in a bewildering way at the quicker-than-light rejection, but Shion refused once again and pushed the mint coffee bucket out to her eyes with her finger.
Shion’s eyebrows frowned as if he remembered the intense taste of that time.
At times like this, Shion resented her perfect memory.
“ Oh, it’s delicious… … .”
Liusina’s expression turned gloomy at that, but it didn’t mean it couldn’t be.
Sion, ignoring the witch and the mint coffee cask that was pathetic in her hand, turned to Thierry.
“ What happened to the last time you ordered?”
“ As you said, I have delivered everything to the hero’s party, to Jeongro-kun, and to everyone else.”
Thierry immediately bowed her head in response to that, and continued speaking with a questionable face.
“ By the way, Your Majesty, the fact that you gave these instructions… … Can you think of the border as where you are going from now on?”
“ Yes.”
“ Then may I ask why you are going to the border?”
Normally, she would not have asked such a question, but this time, Thierry wanted to ask her master.
Because Zion’s instructions were more thorough and meticulous than ever before.
Also, its size was enormous.
If it goes on like this, there will be a large-scale battle that is incomparable even to the war that took place in a large colony of giants.
This was already a great war.
“ There is one person I need to save. Also, there are guys to hunt.”
To Thierry’s question, Shion answered in a low voice.
“ By the way… … .”
After this level of preparation, I wanted to ask who should be saved and what enemies should be hunted, but Thierry stopped asking questions.
Anyway, as time goes by, you will find out naturally.
Soon after, a completely different question came out of his mouth.
“ I see. So when are you going to leave?”
“ Just tonight.”
To that, Zion replied with a cold glow in his eyes.
‘ The time has come.’
History flows according to its destiny.
The fate of this world has already been determined by its destruction, and so history also wants to destroy it and continues to strive towards it.
This event was the most important moment and also a great crisis that accelerated such history toward destruction in earnest.
Zion was planning to use it in reverse.
‘ Here, the great stalk of fate is twisted.’
How to shine brighter as a star rises in the deep darkness.
Stars slowly began to rise in the eyes of the emperor who had swallowed up the world of the past.
