65 Assault on the Imperial Castle (6)
An abyss that exists in the deepest part of the demonic area.
One of the thrones that exists in the deepest among them.
– Finally.
The ‘existence’ that arose from such a throne was recited in a recalled tone.
What the existence is looking at is the imperial castle of the empire reflected on the huge screen that exists in front of them.
No, to be precise, it was one person who was dealing with two witches within such an imperial castle.
– You’re finally here.
The eyes of beings filled with joy.
Although the appearance had changed, it was immediately recognizable the moment I saw it.
An alien darkness that does not fit in with anything in the world!
Above all else, an ominous presence.
Even those bored eyes that look down on everything in the world.
It was a look that had never been forgotten for hundreds of years.
No, to be precise, you were right to say that I couldn’t forget it.
Because he was the one who gave existence the only defeat.
It was also a very humiliating defeat.
at that time,
“ The author… … The author is Zion Agnes, the current emperor of Agnes.”
The frantic Grand Duke, Acrimosia, who was looking at the same scene through the screen, opened his mouth in a polite tone towards the existence.
“ And he’s also the one who has thwarted our plans so far.”
As she said that, her eyes were very hardened.
Despite the fact that it exists beyond the screen, the immense power that is felt.
That power was different from the time we met in the wealthy city in the past.
It’s like seeing another being.
It was only now that he realized that he had become strong enough to kill arrogance and jealousy.
In addition, the current scene of suppressing the runaway red-eyed witch and Iades at the same time reminded us of the seriousness of the situation.
‘ No matter how weak you are compared to us, how can you get hurt so easily… … .’
at that time,
– No.
The existence opened its mouth while looking at Zion, who had destroyed Iades and immediately moved to another place.
– The author is not like Zion Agnes.
Unlike the other archdukes, the eyes of the being who spoke like that were gradually tinged with joy.
– Can’t you see that? What kind of beings have you been dealing with so far?
Excitement in the voice of being.
“ Yes? what is that… … .”
Even after hundreds of years of worship, it was the first time he had seen a king like this, so his eyes of anger and frenzy began to turn into doubt.
– There is only one person in the world who has that kind of power.
Aeons Orrelion Khan Agnes.
Existence assumed that he had reappeared in the world to keep his promise to himself in the past.
– It will be different from then, Emperor.
It was a moment in which the existence was muttering like that, looking only at Zion, regardless of the questions of the Grand Dukes.
Shrek-
Shion, who had finished the remnants of Orogirichi, suddenly raised his head and met the presence and eyes.
‘ What?’
There was little doubt in the eyes of the Archdukes who were there, including his existence.
Because there was no way anyone over there could see them.
However, as if denying that thought, Shion, who looked at the existence precisely and smiled, pulled out a black spear from the air.
It was the Dragon Storm Spear Agdvar.
Shion takes a javelin stance towards the hole in the sky while holding Agdevar, which he immediately pulled out.
That moment,
hey hey hey!
All the energy that existed in the Imperial Fortress began to be sucked into the tip of Zion’s spear.
Ded Ded Ded Dude!
The atmosphere fluctuates mercilessly, as if it was predicting what was going to happen, and the time quickly slowed down.
“ Maybe… … .”
The furious eyes he had been looking at from the other side of the screen trembled.
It was also a moment when the eyes of the group of heroes who barely got up nearby also turned dazed.
Fight!
At last, Shion’s hand, which was pulled to the maximum, was swung and the dragon bomb spear instantly disappeared.
The place where Agdvar appeared again was beyond the abyss hole in the sky.
behindhand,
—————-!
As if a dragon ascends to heaven, a black line is drawn along its trajectory, and thousands of shock waves begin to burst out of it.
With a blow that far transcended mortality, the abyss hole could not endure for even a moment, and it would disappear.
As if that’s not the end
“!!!!!!”
A blow that reached the place where the Archduke and the King, who were looking at him from beyond the abyss hole, were there.
In the end, the blow
Dude Duk Duk Duk!
It stopped only when the being raised a hand and reversed causation itself.
As soon as I crossed over, even though I had used my hand, the abyss around me was shaking and disappearing in the aftermath of that moment.
“ King, are you all right!”
The Archdukes, who had their eyes wide open at the unusual situation, looked at the existence and shouted.
-… … .
Without answering that question, the being who looked at the screen that had just been completely smashed by the spear attack.
– I’m really looking forward to the day we meet again.
Soon after, a voice that seemed to be unable to control the joy welling up from the mouth of such a being came out.
* * *
raid on the imperial castle that never existed in history except for the First War .
Contrary to the shocking movement, the damage caused by it was not as great as expected.
Not only did the Grand Princes of the squadron leading the attack die without being able to use their power properly, and the abyss hole in the sky where the monsters poured out was also closed shortly thereafter.
Of course, most of them were Zion’s activities.
Now that the raid is over and the repair of the broken imperial castle is being actively carried out,
“… … .”
Zion was sitting at the top of the small meeting room in the People’s Palace, holding a teacup in front of him.
The people in the conference room quietly staring at Zion.
That aspect was great.
The heads of the five-generation families that have now become four-generation families.
Rubrios Agnes and the Floating City of Archendelt.

Milleon Jeffrey, the leader of the Knights of Agnes, etc.
All the supreme powers leading the empire were gathered here.
Even so, the conference room so quiet that even breathing could not be heard was indirectly proving how great the authority of the emperor, Sion, was.
In addition, his authority was further strengthened by the performance he showed this time.
How many times have people stared at Zion with their mouths closed like that?
” I’m sure you’ve guessed the reason why I called you.”
A low voice came out of Shion’s mouth.
“ War… … is it?”
Ludwig Ascalon, the head of the Heavenly Swordsman family, opened his mouth first with a hardened face.
“ Right.”
“ However, all the damage that Hwangseong suffered from the last raid has not been restored.”
Growing Ozrima, who became the new head of Ozrima in response to Shion’s answer, glanced at the damage report in front of him and said:
“ At the same time, the people of the Empire are also worried.”
Of course, as written in the report, the damage of the Hwangseong was not that great.
Although a lot of buildings were lost and part of the walls collapsed, there was almost no damage to the key people running the empire, so administrative work was proceeding without any setback.
However, regardless of the extent of the damage, the fact that the imperial castle, the center of the capital and the symbol of the empire, had been attacked, felt uneasy and fearful among the people of the empire.
It was only natural that confusion followed.
“ First, starting a war after calming down your anxiety… … .”
“ Ask me one thing.”
Shion’s voice cut through Groud’s words.
“ When is the best time to start a war?”
Zion’s eyes scanned the slowly gathered people.
“ When everything is ready? Or when you are sure you can beat your opponent?”
No, it wasn’t.
“ The best time to start a war is when your opponent cannot predict.”
A cold smile hangs on Shion’s lips as he sets down the teacup again.
“ That’s the biggest hit.”
It was not Zion’s idea.
It has been proven through numerous wars in history that have been passed down until now.
That is why it was always quiet just before a war, and the beginning was secret.
so that no one can notice.
“ Then, the declaration of preparations for war at the world conference in the past… … .”
At that time, Archendelt noticed something and opened his mouth, looking at Shion with surprised eyes.
Shion nodded at him.
“ At that time, I had no intention of starting a war.”
The work of the Fairy Forest and the Beast was not completed, and the monsters that existed in the Empire had to be sifted out.
So, rather than openly proclaiming it, it made the enemies nervous and prevented them from moving hastily, which allowed them to buy time.
In other words, it could be said that it was a kind of psychological warfare.
“ But not now.”
The attack on the Imperial Castle was only a small trouble, and the other preparations were already complete.
Therefore, Zion was thinking that now was the right time.
It would be difficult to predict that the magic station would move right away in a situation where it was not fully maintained.
“ For sure… … As Your Majesty said, now may be the best time.”
At that, Mileon opened his mouth, stroking his chin.
“ If it’s a war that has to be fought anyway, it would be best to attack from this side first.”
“ But for that, there is still a difference in power between the Demon Magician and the Empire.”
Groud refuted the words of the knight commander.
Of course he knew.
How much transcendental strength the Emperor Zion in front of you possesses.
And how much has the percentage of superpowers increased compared to the past?
However, what Groud was worried about was not the top-level demons like the Four Great Princes.
“ Everyone is well aware of the fact that the power of one of the lowest ranks of Demonic Magic is equal to that of any knight.”
A fundamental power gap created by species differences.
“ There are far more troops here, so if we push through numbers, we can somehow deal with even intermediate monsters… … I don’t have enough power to deal with the higher ranks or higher level monsters.”
Therefore, even in the First War, the Empire could not advance to the Demonic Demonstration even after annihilating all the four great princes of the squadron, and had no choice but to be content with just driving out the demons that existed in the Empire.
In a field where there was a basic electric power difference, going into a magical place that was nothing more than an enemy’s stronghold was like an act of suicide.
Did you expect Groud’s words like that?
“ If only we could fill that gap.”
Shion smiled and opened her mouth.
“ Are you not against it?”
“ Yes? Is there such a way?”
At Shion’s words, not only Groud, but the eyes of everyone who was there were dyed with doubt.
Because there couldn’t be any way.
It was a well-known fact that it takes a very long time to raise a common knight.
However, it was impossible to imagine that it would be possible to create in such a short amount of time the power to deal with not only ordinary knights, but rather advanced monsters.
But unlike those people, Zion, who was still smiling in an unknown way,
“ Come in.”
He said looking towards the door of the conference room.
OK,
“ Hey, I’m going in… … .”
The door opened and a girl with azure hair appeared from behind.
“… … who?”
When people look at her with eyes full of doubt and bewilderment,
“ That guy!”
Rubrios, the only one who recognized the girl’s identity, stood up.
Veila, the warehouse keeper of ‘ Stars’ Dream’.
Why did she, who should be guarding the Imperial Castle’s underground treasure trove, appear here?
Despite the reactions of people including Lubrios, Shion calmly raises a teacup.
Was that action a signal?
“I ’ll open it!”
‘ Era, I don’t know!’ With a look on her face, Veila waved her hands in the air with that cry.
Whoa ah ah ah!
A space that begins to open around the place where Veila waved her hand with a burst of light.
That moment,
“!!!!!!”
The eyes of those who witnessed beyond the space that were slowly beginning to appear began to expand to the point that they could no longer grow bigger.
It was a feast.
hundreds? No, thousands?
There were countless weapons that could shake the world even if only one was released, including transcendental weapons containing legends and myths, and it was a feast.
A sword that can become the heirloom of a family is randomly lodged in the corner, and a magic ring worth the equivalent of a castle rolls across the floor.
It is truly a sight that goes beyond the opening of the mouth and the soul.
To those who stared blankly at the emperor’s treasure trove,
“ Is this enough?”
Shion, who put down the teacup again, said with a smile.
