66 The Eve (1)
An indoor dance hall that exists inside the Baekseonggung Palace.
A rare sight was taking place there.
“ All right, all right! Come on, success!”
“ Why… … You don’t choose me!”
hundreds? No, thousands?
Countless knights and wizards gathered in the dance hall, exclaiming a mixture of joy and sorrow.
What is unusual is that each of these people’s level of power is excellent.
All of the top powers, such as the most elite knights of the Knights of Agnes, as well as the leaders of each Knights and Wizards, were gathered in the gymnasium.
“ Ha ha ha ha! From today on, I am your master!”
There was a reason they had gathered here early in the morning to express their various emotions.
It was because of the ‘Dream of the Stars’, a treasure trove that was open in front of them.
The very day after notifying the leaders of the existence of ‘The Dream of the Stars’ at the meeting, Sion convened the high-ranking forces in the capital to the Baengseonggung performance hall and immediately opened the warehouse to them.
The knights and wizards, possessed by the state of arms seen beyond such a treasure trove, stretched out their hands as if possessed and started to choose the things they wanted, and that’s what happened as a result.
of course,
Crazy!
“ Aww!”
Because that and receiving the recognition of the armed forces were separate, many knights were experiencing bitter failure.
Success and failure in one place at the same time.
It was like watching a lottery winning scene.
And in the middle of such a dance hall,
“ Just because I opened the warehouse doesn’t mean that everyone gets a choice! The weapons in ‘Dream of the Stars’ can only be handled by special people!”
Veila was shouting with her chest thrusting forward as if bubbly.
It was the first time in hundreds of years that she had seen so many people, so she seemed a little reminiscent.
and,
“ I’m really going to open up… … .”
On the other side of the gymnasium, Claire, who had some auxiliary weapons, was looking at Shion with a strange look.
‘ Dream of the Stars’ was an imperial treasure trove, so it was said that the emperor had the right to use it at will, but it was not really easy to open it to others like this.
It is because not only all the weapons gathered by the emperors for hundreds of years, starting from the Eternal Age, but also the power contained in each one was able to shake the world.
Therefore, even the slightest desire for possessiveness had no choice but to completely hide its identity, far from opening it up.
However, Emperor Zion was showing a way to completely break such common sense.
‘ I don’t think I’m possessive… … .’
No, in a way, Emperor Zion could have been the most possessive of those Claire herself knew.
Because it was the reincarnation of the Eternal Eternal Emperor, not anyone else.
A being who held the whole world in its grasp.
‘ Perhaps the Emperor Zion has nothing to do with the people here or the weapons of ‘The Dream of the Stars’… … .’
After all, everything that existed in the Empire belonged to him, so he might have thought he didn’t care.
‘ A really unknown person.’
When the eyes of the hero looking at Zion like that only deepen,
‘You’re persistent.’
Shion was kicking his tongue inwardly as he saw the vibrating sword shining like crazy in front of him.
A sword with a pure blue blade resembling a clear sky.
It was Rigveda, the heavenly sword, one of the three myth-level weapons in ‘Dream of the Stars’.
Whoo! Whoo!
As soon as the warehouse was opened, Rigveda, who flew in by herself, refused everyone else’s touch and continued to do this in front of Zion.
Like a dog wags its tail towards its owner.
‘ There is no need to have it.’
Sion already had Iklaxia, the main weapon, as well as the secondary weapons, Agdvar and Giga Perses.
So no more weapons were needed.
In addition, other armaments such as armor and ornaments did not exist in ‘Dream of the Stars’ that could match the performance of gods such as Muspelheim and the Frost Queen that Sion is using now.
In addition to that, all other necessary items are already prepared.
Therefore, it was difficult to expect the efficiency even if the number of armor was increased here.
However,
‘ If I don’t choose, I’ll probably be stuck in the warehouse again.’
With that thought, Zion grabbed the handle of the celestial sword vibrating in front of him.
Because he thought that this side would be better than letting a weapon with this level of power be left unattended.
Whoops!
Rigveda, which shed tears of joy and joy, disappeared beyond the space.
It seemed that there was a storage function befitting a mythical weapon.
‘ Should I use even a pair of swords in the future?’
It was time for Zion to think as he looked at the place where Rigveda disappeared.
Paah!
From the center of the dance hall, a bright light enough to blind people began to burst out.
As a result, Zion returned naturally, and a single spear that was bright enough to be transparent to the eyes of others, and Lane Dranir holding the spear came in.
The eyes of people who are dyed with surprise.
That’s because the spear that Lane is now holding was Agnus, the Gravity Spear, one of myth-level weapons.
“ To receive the approval of Agnus… … .”
Some knights muttering with a dazed voice.
Even Lane, the party involved, was looking at the gravity spear in his hand as if in disbelief.
‘ Did you have more potential than you thought?’
And the eyes of Zion who looked at it were also young.
In order to be recognized as a myth-level weapon, the force it possessed was also forceful, but the limit that the target could reach in the future, that is, the potential, was important.
In the history that has been passed down until now, only about five or six people have been chosen as myth-level weapons.
That meant that Lane’s potential was in it.
‘ But Lane’s final force recorded in the chronicles did not come close to that.’
He said that he didn’t realize his full potential until the world was destroyed.
‘ Then… … .’
Shion’s eyes looking at Lane began to deepen.
* * *
time past midnight.
“ I see you, Emperor Zion Agnes.”
Except for Claire, who arrived at the vacant lot on the outskirts of the Imperial Castle, the warriors and their party bowed their heads toward Shion, who was waiting for them there.
“ Are you here?”
Zion slowly walks out of the darkness outside.
Rein, who felt a strange eerie feeling at Shion’s strangely shadowed appearance despite the faint moonlight shining from the sky, shrugged slightly and opened her mouth.
“ May I ask what you called me for?”
The eyes of Lane and others who asked that question were stained with doubt.
Because I was called suddenly without hearing any reason.
Except for Claire.
Sion, who looked at them with eyes that could not understand their thoughts, slowly opened his mouth.
“ Before the end of this week, we will start the war.”
Calm tone, as if taking a walk in the neighborhood.
But the content was unconventional.
“ And in that war you will face the Grand Dukes.”
“… … .”
“ But now, with your own strength, that is impossible.”
Was it because it was an undeniable fact?
Although the words could be offensive in a way, Lane and others clenched their fists, but could not refute it.
“ So I try to make it possible for you guys.”
With those words, the darkness that exists around Zion begins to vibrate strangely.
In fact, this situation was what Zion had been thinking about for a long time.
Because of the last attack on the imperial castle, the hero Claire finished awakening, but the rest of the party was not.
So, before the war, Zion was going to germinate all the seeds of awakening in the group of heroes.
And among them, Lane, in particular, had a higher goal.
“ Let’s go all together.”
Zion knew.
The best way to increase your power in a short period of time is to fight close to actual combat.
Whoa!
A huge barrier surrounding the vacant lot, perhaps prepared in advance.
In the rapidly changing atmosphere with him, did he feel that Zion’s words were sincere?
“ All ready for battle.”
The group of warriors with hardened faces immediately started forming a formation around Lane.
At the same time, the tension begins to soar.
“ You must be prepared to kill.”
A low voice came out of Zion’s mouth, who didn’t move until they were ready.
“ I think so.”
Then, the moment when an arc is drawn on Shion’s lips,
Whoops!
The new form of Shion, who disappeared on the spot, skipped Turzan and Lane in front of him and appeared right in front of Elesis.
Shion’s hand stretched out toward Elesis’ neck without hesitation as if the word killing was true.
Just before Zion’s hand reached her,
Tuhwa Hahak!
The divine shield that had been opened in advance activated and blocked Shion’s hand, and at the same time, Turzan, who was charging from the side, fired a fist like a cannonball.
A giant’s fist that was fired towards Shion’s head, distorting the space only with pure physical force.
But the fist did not achieve that goal.
Tuoung!
Sion’s hand lightly touched the lower part of his stretched arm, and he was thrown upwards.
It is absolutely impossible without accurately grasping the focus of the shooting attack and touching it at the perfect timing without any error.
Shion, who had created a gap like that for a moment, threw a fist at Elesis, who had not yet left his seat.
Whoa!
The divine shield rose once again around Elesis, but the result that followed was completely different.
Sool from above
Unlike a little while ago, the barrier fell apart without being able to hold out for even a moment.
“… … !”
Before Elesis’ eyes could even flutter,
Tuquaang!
Her body, hit by Shion’s fist, bounced off at a terrifying speed and crashed into a nearby rock.
“ Elesis!”
Rain calls out the saint’s name in a hurry and swings his spear.
Grip support support!
As if she had decided to do her best from the beginning, her spears, which were split into hundreds, all turned into blue thunder dragons, and were shot at Shion.
Its power was so formidable that only the aftermath could crack the top barrier that covered the vacant lot, but it could not reach Shion.
Dumpling Duck Duck Duck!
Shion annihilates all approaching thunder dragons with just a gesture of reaching out and grabbing it.
in between,
woohoo!
Turzan, who stepped hard on the advance, shot his right fist, which he had pulled to the maximum, towards Shion.
A fist slammed up to the front of Shion’s head at once with waves that burst out continuously from the back of the elbow.
Could it be because the emphasis was completely hidden from the previous one?
Shion clashes head-on with the fist of such a giant.
According to common sense, Shion’s fist extended without any force was to be crushed by Turzan’s fist, but blah blah blah blah!
The scene that follows is completely beyond that common sense.
Unlike Shion’s fist that was still standing there, the giant’s right arm bounced back without mercy.
Whoops!
Shion, who grabbed Turzan’s face, which was stained with embarrassment, with one hand, quadruped!
I just pressed it down.
Turzan’s upper body, penetrating the ground and digging endlessly beneath it.
“ I will block the movement!”
Ded Ded Dude!

Meanwhile, Tyrann’s completed Gravity Magic began to weigh on Zion, but it didn’t last long.
Koo!
Now, the new type of Shion, which offsets Tyrian’s magic, which is now even looking at level 10, with one advance, rushes to the front of the wizard at once.
and,
Aww!
A blow that rips through dozens of defensive magics that Tyrian has unfolded and hits his body like a piece of paper.
Before Tyrian’s body, unable to overcome the shock, bounced back, Whoo Wook!
After taking one more step, a new form of Shion appears in front of Lane.
“… … !”
Lane reacts immediately, even though she is startled by the movement that is much faster than herself using lightning.
The newly acquired gravity spear Agnus manipulates the gravity around it and at the same time is engulfed in a blue lightning and aims at the heart of Zion.
However,
jerk.
As if she knew in advance where her attack would fly.
Shion, who moved half a step to the side while leaning slightly and sending the spear over her shoulder, wanted to dig into Lane’s arms as it was, hey hey hey!
The swirling darkness condensed his right hand into her chest.
Lane’s body was thrown out without even screaming at him, and her body was locked in a barrier, blah blah blah blah blah blah!
The space around her is distorted by the line drawn along the trajectory she flew in late.
4 seconds.
The time it took for all of this to happen.
And it was also the time it took for Shion to lay all the warriors on the floor.
Zion quietly lights up darkness in the middle of the empty space where the heroes and party are scattered.
From the mouth of such Zion,
“ Wake up.”
A cold voice came out.
