11 Shadows of Eternity (2)
“ Why did you bring up the word contact when you said you were going alone anyway? … .”
Chimseonggung Palace where Zion left.
Riusina, who was left there, looked out the darkened window and muttered in a dissatisfied tone.
She didn’t like that Zion didn’t take her as she went to contact the Aeons Shadow.
I’m worried that I’m going to have an accident.
“ Heh heh, wouldn’t the prince have any thoughts as well, Liu Shina-sama?”
Fredo approached Riusina’s side and answered.
“ Lina.”
“ Yes?”
“ Call me Lina, not Liusina.”
Still looking out the window, Riusina said.
Although two hundred years have passed, there may be no one who still remembers her name and associates her with her characteristics.
Then it was obvious that troublesome things would happen, so I was trying to be careful in advance.
“ I see, Lina.”
Was it because Fredo was surprised by the answer without asking any questions?
Riusina asked, turning her head toward the old knight.
“ Aren’t you curious about me?”
All Fredo knew about Liusina was that she used her name and magic.
Still, he did not express any doubts to Liusina and Shion who had brought her.
“ Your Majesty Zion is pitiful. I have been isolated in this palace since I was a child, and no one sided with or helped His Majesty.”
The bitterness in the corners of the old knight’s eyes.
He had been watching Zion for a long time by his side and was well aware of how complicated Zion’s life was.
A life worse than that of an aristocrat in a nameless country.
“ Lina-sama is the one who came into this hellish castle to help Her Majesty Zion. And he was also the one who brought His Majesty Zion out of the city and brought him with his own hands. That alone is enough for me.”
A gentle smile lingered on Fredo’s face as he said that.
“ He is quite devoted to his master.”
At that, Liusina grinned and turned her head out the window again.
How many servants in the world do not doubt anything just because they were brought by someone they serve?
She thought what the old knight had just said was wrong.
At least one person has always been on Zion’s side.
* * *
The Eternal Shadow was established by the Eternal Age when the Agnes Empire was founded.
Eternal Orrelion Khan Agnes wanted to have the emperor’s own ‘eyes’ that no one knew about.
That’s why I created a shadow and wanted to see everything that exists in the world from behind the Empire forever.
And one day, when the empire was in danger, he wanted to show its true value.
The eons of shadow faithfully followed the wishes of such eons.
Information is power.
That is why the shadow of the eons never appeared in front of the world, even though it was holding a very strong power.
He was thoroughly active under the water, and only the successive emperors were informed of its existence.
However, Thierry, the current head of the Shadow of Eternity, thought that maybe he might have to break those rules.
That’s because the empire was on the verge of collapse.
‘ Magical Station (魔域).’
They deceived even the eyes of shadows that exist everywhere in the world, and slowly, little by little, penetrated into the human world over the course of several decades.
It was only after Emperor Urdios had cut ties with them when the Shadow of Eternity realized that fact.
After that, the Shadow of Eternity stopped all other activities and concentrated only on identifying the demons that permeated the Imperial Castle.
although it didn’t go well.
There was no way to contact the emperor again.
‘ Because it is the same as making even the presence of shadows revealed to the devil.’
So Thierry waited.
An opportunity to overcome this situation and an opportunity to reveal the demonic beings.
In such a situation, it was Zion Agnes who came to the shadows.
‘The emperor said it was sent, but there are too many suspicious things.’
From the eerie power he possesses, to his recent unconventional actions and his personality that seems to have turned 180 degrees.
In addition, Thierry knew that Sion Agnes was unable to receive mana.
Was the monster wearing Zion Agnes’ skin and pretending to be him?
Or is it really the key the Emperor has sent to overcome this crisis?
To find out, Thierry, along with a few other officers of the Eternal Shadow, were watching Prince Sion meet the trap he had prepared through the magical barrier that he could see inside.
If the eyes of him and the other executives are combined, we will be able to make an accurate judgment.
‘ If you push to the limit, you will inevitably use all of your hidden power.’
Whether it’s magic or something else.
You will soon know the true identity of Prince Zion.
Thinking so, Thierry’s eyes fell down.
* * *
“ It’s fun.”
As soon as Thierry’s presence completely disappeared, Shion smiled, dodging the dozens of swords that were pouring on him.
It was not unexpected that this would happen.
Perhaps even if Zion was the leader of the shadows, he would have done this.
Because it would be suicidal to tell the identity and location of the shadow to someone who didn’t understand it properly.
Wow!
Shion looked at the dozens of knights who turned their heads towards him while pulling out the sword stuck in the floor with a mechanical sound.
No, those were not articles.
A magic-driven golem in the form of a knight.
They were crystals of modern-day production series magic, whose entire body was made up of sophisticated magic circles.
‘ It’s actually easier this way.’
Sion began to grasp the structure of the present space by raising the Black Star and spreading darkness in all directions at the same time.
I didn’t know why the Shadow of Eternals was using the magic golem, but it seemed to make things easier.
The power to deny everything that exists in a dark world.
If you use that power to cut off the magic that flows through the bodies of those golems that are rushing towards you, they will automatically stop running.
Wow!
In the meantime, one of the golems that approached right in front of them slashed their swords at Zion.
Simple but fast movements that are incomparable to ordinary people.
It was a speed that was difficult to follow even with the naked eye.
Shion’s new type was already leaning out of range, as if he knew the trajectory of the golem wielding the sword.
Suga Gak!
A sword that lightly brushed Shion’s cheek.
Shion, who had taken a step forward from there and dug into the golem’s arms, stretched out a hand as it was.
tuk.
Shion’s finger lightly touched the golem’s chest.
That moment.
Dude Duk Duk Duk!
The golem began to tremble as if it had been electrocuted, then stopped working and collapsed.
“… … !”
One of the shadow executives, who was watching the scene from beyond the wall, stood up with his eyes wide open.
But the surprise didn’t end there.
undercurrent.
After that, Shion, who lightly evaded the attacks from all directions, begins to walk among the golems like a vision.
Tuk, tuk, tuk, tuk.
Sion’s fingers gently touched the golem’s body as they passed by.
The Black Star, which started from such Zion’s finger, instantly penetrates into the magical circuit that exists inside the golem’s body, erasing the movement of the magical energy flowing within it.
Tickle! Tickle! Tickle!
Golems crumble behind where Zion has passed, like a doll with a broken thread.
The movement was so subtle and bizarre that it caught the attention of the viewers.
“ How can it be so easy… … .”
Unbelievable voices coming from the mouths of the executives watching.
Those magic-driven golems were not meant to be destroyed so easily.
It was known because they airlifted themselves and even took charge of the operation.
The outside was covered with several layers of defensive magic, and the inside was also protected by a magic firewall that was strong enough to not even cause incontinence from any shock.
In terms of defense, it is an excellent weapon that even most Imperial Knights look down on.
However, Shion’s hand naturally penetrated the defense magic and penetrated into the golem, as if erasing everything.
Did I even feel the surprise of those people?
“ Were you there?”
The darkness spread by Zion sensed the presence of people beyond the magical barrier blocking all directions.
At the same time.
Koo!
Sion stopped on the spot and rolled one foot widely.
The energy that rises from it and soars upwards on the legs.
At the same time, such an energy reached his right hand in an instant, and at the same time, it was amplified and amplified countless times due to Iklaxia, which wrapped around Shion’s whole body.
Kirik!
As if they sensed danger from the appearance of Zion, the magic-driven golems turned their heads at the same time and started to rush towards Zion from all directions.
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
A sense of intimidation as if an entire knightly order was rushing at you.
Sion’s right hand, who had been watching the golems rushing towards him, with still eyes, slowly extended forward.
Wow!
At last, the golems who came close enough to feel each other’s warmth at the same time swung their swords towards Zion at the same time.
Shion strongly grabbed the outstretched right hand.
black night.
That moment.
Tuoung!
The pitch black darkness that erupted from Zion’s right hand swept through the golems in an instant.
Even that wasn’t enough, the darkness that broke through even the magical barrier that was blocking all directions and stretched beyond it.
Did time even stop?
As if frozen, the movement of all golems stopped.
soon after
Goo!
Golems collapsing to the floor at the same time as if they had made a promise.
with him.
Kwajijijik!
Even the magical barrier that surrounded Zion broke down, revealing Thierry and the officers behind it.
They looked at Zion without hiding their embarrassment.
Even those who boasted that they knew nothing about dealing with all the information in the world could not even guess what kind of power Zion used in front of them.
‘ Are you heavenly? no. It’s totally different from that.’
bum bum, bum bum.
Zion begins to slowly move towards them.
The darkness that flows with every step and the ominousness that spreads with it.
‘ That look… … .’
Thierry’s eyes began to waver without mercy as he watched Shion approaching him like that.
Orrelion Khan Agnes, the Eternal Emperor, who founded the empire and made the mythical achievement of unifying the world.
The only thing that has been passed down about such an eternal festival is its name and achievements.
In the shadow of the eons, an additional description of the appearance of the eons has been passed down.
Eternity has always been accompanied by darkness.
Ominousness lingered in his steps, and the world crouched in fear as a black star whirled in his eyes.
Zion Agnes.
The appearance of Zion Agnes approaching this way was very similar to the description of such an eons.
at that time.
“ He told me to prove it.”
A low voice came out of Zion’s mouth.
The voice was very small, but it echoed clearly in the ears of everyone present.
“ But it’s not me who has to prove it.”
Shrek.
The figure of Zion was erased without a trace on the spot along with the darkness.
The place where Zion appeared again was in front of a middle-aged woman, one of the officers of the shadow of eternity.
“ You guys.”
Before the woman and other executives even responded to those words.
Kwajik!
Zion’s hand pierced the woman’s heart without hesitation.
“!!!!!!”
The moment when people’s eyes are once again colored with astonishment at Shion’s actions that far surpassed even the shock.
aah!
From the woman’s mouth with her heart pierced, terrible magic began to come out with a sound that no human could ever make.
