62 The Battle of the Moon (1)
“ A warrior? And you are the master of the world… … What does that mean?”
A silver-haired woman who suddenly appeared and knelt down and bowed her head, and Sion looking down at that woman.
A voice full of doubts came out of the prince’s mouth, who looked at them alternately.
There was no answer to that, but Wolhoun’s mind was already starting to infer Zion’s identity based on the words he had just said.
‘ Well… … It was strange.’
Even after knowing that Walhawn himself is the Crown Prince, his tone does not change at all.
Tired eyes that naturally look down on everyone, including yourself.
And to the point where it’s not awkward at all.
‘ If you are the master of the world… … .’
There was only one person who could be called that.
The owner of the Agnes Empire, that is, the Emperor.
But, as she knew, the current emperor’s seat was vacant.
‘ Then why are you calling me this way? Is it like their own password? If not… … no way.’
It was when the Crown Prince, who had one assumption in his head like that, looked carefully at Shion’s hair.
Shion turned her head towards her.
Shion quietly opened his mouth to Wolhoun, who was startled by this.
“ I want to talk to you two for a while.”
“ Are you talking to me? … … ah.”
The Crown Prince who had said that soon realized that it was not him, but that woman named Claire, who was included in the two, and moved away with a slightly bewildered expression.
After the crown prince had completely disappeared,
“… … I’m sorry for the ungodly attitude I’ve shown you all this time.”
A voice that seemed a little more calm than before came out of Claire’s mouth.
“ How can you not?”
Shion asked Claire.
Although he gave a clue, it must have been difficult to come to an answer in such a short time with that alone.
You must have gotten the information from somewhere else.
“ I visited the ‘Temple of Destiny’ for a while before coming to Suinhae.”
“ The gods of fate don’t seem to have such a heavy mouth.”
Shion grinned at him and opened his mouth to the hero again.
“ Do you have any doubts about that? Normally, it would be hard to believe.”
“ No. On the contrary, after I found out that His Majesty was the reincarnation of the Eternal Age, I started to understand. What you have accomplished and everything you have done so far.”
Everything that Prince Zion had done since he came of age was literally impossible.
However, after learning that Prince Zion was the reincarnation of the Eternal Age, Claire’s mind had all the questions resolved.
Because there was no impossibility in front of him.
In addition, he understood the power he showed through Kronos’ five questions when he faced the Archduke of Oman at the old border.
If there was one thing she didn’t understand, it was why she was called imprisoned prince and hid her power and identity until she became an adult.
“ Who else knows that?”
“ I still don’t know. Even if I tell you, you won’t believe it.”
“That ’s right.”
With those words, Shion, who looked into Claire’s eyes for a moment, opened her mouth again.
“ Something seems remorseful.”
The warrior nodded his head.
“… … It was confusing at first.”
Then her mouth slowly opened.
“ It seemed that my existence had become useless, and the thought that the gods did not believe in me made me even skeptical of the return itself.”
The sense of purpose itself of saving the world feels blurry.
“ But… … As time passed, the more I thought about it, the more reassured I became. The fact that Your Majesty is present at the same time as me.”
It always seemed to be on the edge of a cliff.
The edge of a cliff that seems to fall into the endless abyss the moment you take even one wrong step.
In fact, that was the situation Claire herself was in, and that’s why she always suffered from endless anxiety and impatience.
There were more days when I didn’t sleep than the days I slept, and I often vomited and vomited in places where no one was watching.
The salvation of the world destined for destruction, and the lives of his companions.
Because he thought it was all in his hands.
However, since Prince Zion found out that it was an Eternal Age, such a burden was gradually disappearing.
In addition, Claire was realizing that she was becoming increasingly dependent on Prince Zion as much as the feeling of pressure that was disappearing without her knowledge.
“ I also had this thought. If I tell you, I can sincerely entrust everything to you and serve you.”
Aeons Orrelion Khan Agnes.
The only person who survived to become a myth.
If you do not believe in these beings, you cannot believe in any beings in this world.
‘ If there’s one thing I’m worried about… … .’
Claire, who had been thinking that far, shook her head slightly to clear the thought.
Because it was too much of a concern for me to do it myself.
“ You don’t have to let everything go. You just have to follow my instructions.”
Sion, who responded with a face without much emotion, immediately changed the topic.
“ Let’s talk about him like this and get to the point. Do you know that the monthly battle will start soon?”
“ Yes, yes. By the way… … .”
“ Tell me.”
Seeing Claire who seemed hesitant to continue speaking, Shion nodded.
“ It is highly probable that the monthly battle to be held this time is a trap to attract us.”
“ Why?”
“ For the monthly battle to begin, most of the leaders of the Resistance, including the Crown Prince, must first enter the enemy’s center. For the King of Beasts, there will never be a better opportunity than this.”
A perfect opportunity to cut off the resistance’s head.
“ There is a law that says you can’t harm each other during the Moon Fight, but it won’t be followed. Since we’ve already partnered with the magician, it wouldn’t be strange to break a law… … .”
The warrior who had been talking up to there stopped talking.
Because there was a strange smile on Sion’s lips as he looked at him.
“… … Did you even propose to the Moon King even though you knew it would be like that?”
Shion didn’t answer that, but Claire could be sure that Shion already knew about it.
“ There is something for you and your party to do in this month’s battle.”
“ Are you talking about participating in the proxy war?”
“ No.”
Shion quietly shook her head.
From such Zion’s mouth,
“ Do you remember what the Beast Beast King was aiming for at this time?”
A lower voice came out.
* * *
A huge battlefield.
“ Sir, can I ask you just one thing?”
The tiger beast, who had been glancing at the beast king sitting on the throne, quietly opened his mouth.
“ Let me tell you.”
Wolbyeokcheon’s voice was exhilarating despite the fact that he had suffered a major defeat recently.
Despite his doubts, the tiger beast continued.
“ May I ask why you accepted the Moon War?”
In his opinion, the monthly battle was an offer that he did not need to accept.
It is said that they suffered a huge blow from the last defeat, but there was a fundamental difference in power between them and the rebels.
As we have done so far, the war will naturally end if we use the difference and press it.
There was no need to give them the opportunity of the Moon King.
“ Of course, it is natural for us to win, but is there any need to open up the possibility? … .”
It was before the tiger beastman had even finished speaking.
“ This month’s battle. How many people do you think will come from the rebel side?”
Wolbyeokcheon, who was still smiling strangely under the mask, opened his mouth.
“… … Wouldn’t it be at least a few hundred?”
“ Then how many leaders of the rebels are among them?”
“… … !”
The tiger’s eyes widened when he realized what Wolbyokcheon was thinking.
“ In the first place, the monthly battle is not that important. The important thing is that all the leaders of the rebels gather here.”
“ Ha, but there is a law that says you can’t harm an enemy during the Moon War… … .”
The tiger beast couldn’t keep up with those words.
The eyes of Wolbyeokcheon seen through the mask.
Those red eyes were telling him that he had no intention of obeying the law from the beginning.
“ In the first place, the law is only meaningful when it is supported by a powerful force.”
Otherwise, the law was just a list of characters.
“I ’m already looking forward to it.”
With those words, the dark life in Wolbyeokcheon’s eyes began to appear young.

Myowangseong (卯王城).
At the same time as the center of Suinhae, it was an island made up of one gigantic castle.
As the place where the Beast Beast King stayed, the scale of the entire empire was so huge that even after Agnes Imperial Castle, it would not be lacking at all.
A huge dance hall that exists within such Myowangseong.
It is currently
Wow!
The air was filled with huge shouts that shook the air.
The source of such shouts was the numerous beasts surrounding the exercise hall.
A number that cannot be counted.
Their eyes were tinged with great anticipation for the upcoming moon battle.
As it was a proxy battle that would determine the position of the next Beast King, the level of the participants had to be beyond their imagination, and for the unmanned, to be able to watch the battles of such superhumans was a tremendous opportunity that would not be exchanged for gold.
A senior seat was prepared on one side of the dance hall where the endless shouts continued.
There, the elders, including the king of Suin, Wolbyeokcheon, were sitting there.
“ Heh heh, this is so, that you have to do something like this against the rebels.”
“ So that’s it. I never imagined this day would come.”
“ Well, let’s think about it. In a way, this side could be a shortcut to ending the war quickly.”
Unlike the elders who talked like that, Wolbyeokcheon kept his mouth shut and looked at the resistance camp on the other side of the gymnasium.
To be precise, his gaze was fixed on Crown Prince Wolhaun.
‘ There is no change from the past.’
All he had to do was watch from afar, according to the rule of Wangwang that he could not contact his rivals in advance, but he knew nonetheless.
His nephew is still as weak as he used to be when he ran away from his dying father.
‘ You will never ascend the throne.’
When Wolbyeokcheon, who smiled bitterly at such a prince, thought so,
“ Then let’s start the monthly battle from now on!”
A loud cry erupted from the mouth of the host in charge of the host.
Wow!
With him, the shouts of the warriors grew stronger.
“ This month’s battle will be held in the form of a proxy battle, not a direct battle, and five representatives from each camp will fight a duel.”
In such a shout, the host’s explanations begin to follow.
“ The duel will be held in a one-on-one format, and the victor in the duel will face the next opponent without replacement.”
In other words, it does not end in one battle, but continues to fight until it collapses.
Was it because of the pressure from the audience to move quickly?
“… … Now, the representatives of both sides, who will be fighting the Moon King from now on, will enter!”
The moderator who finished the explanation quickly moved on to the next step.
With him, the representatives of the Wolbyeokcheon Stream first began to enter.
“ I, the author is not Falundo!”
“ The author will be participating in the Wangwang Battle… … Wasn’t he originally not interested in such things?”
“ Look behind him! There is even a spear king!”
“… … I’m crazy. it’s crazy!”
The eyes of the spectators who saw the faces of such delegates began to color with astonishment.
If you add up the area of the sea, the water-in-sea is huge enough to occupy one-third of the entire empire, so there were countless powerful people in it.
And among them, there were also superpowers that were not very well known in the Empire, but were regarded as almost ‘seven skies’ in the Suin Sea.
And some of those superpowers have been included among the agents now entering.
‘ Still, I can’t do it roughly.’
Feeling the reaction of the uninhabited, Wolbyeokcheon smiled inwardly.
No matter how much the Moon Wang fight was not the main one, he had no intention of wasting this duel.
His plan was to crush them as overwhelmingly and thoroughly as possible, and then take all of their lives.
‘ What are you going to do, nephew?’
Thinking like that, when Wolbyeokcheon looked at the masked Wolhaun,
“… … Really, it’s so great that all five of them couldn’t keep their mouths shut. Can even one of them win? Well, this time, the Crown Prince’s representatives enter… … uh?”
Then the host, who was about to introduce Wolhaun’s agents, paused and looked at the paper with the list on it.
His eyes are starting to be dyed with a light that is more and more absurd.
How many times have you checked the list again?
Soon after, a voice filled with doubt and embarrassment came out of the host’s mouth.
“ There is only one deputy for the Crown Prince… … There is only one.”
and with those words,
jerk.
Ominous footsteps began to reverberate throughout the auditorium.
