13 The Welcome Army (4)
What should i do.
The man thought as he dismantled the exorcist squad, which had only him left.
After I retired, I didn’t have anything I wanted to do or where I wanted to go.
All his memories and life already existed in the battlefield he had been on for decades.
‘ Are you really going to farm?’
With that thought, the man recalled the village he had lived in before joining the army.
A village on the outskirts of the Empire where none of the characteristics existed.
With him, a picture of a girl in the same village was drawn in the man’s head.
A girl with very beautiful blue eyes and a good smile towards men.
‘ I don’t know if it’s still there.’
But in the village the man went to, no one remembered him any more.
The only girl that came to mind was already dead.
There was only one daughter who had eyes just like her.
The man quietly began to cultivate a vegetable garden on the outskirts of such a village.
* * *
“ Gagging!”
A man with a mask covering his entire face except for his eyes came out of the tree with blood gushing out with his heart smashed.
dump!
The corpse of a masked man falling to the floor.
Such a masked man had eyes that could not understand until the last light of life was extinguished.
Did you think that hiding is meaningless anymore?
Pavabat!
From the forest on either side of the trail, about a dozen assailants began to jump out toward Zion at once.
“ You’ve been waiting for me to tell you when you’re going to say that.”
As if she already knew everything, she looked at Zion and the assailants, but was not surprised at all, no, rather, Riusina, who had a very happy face, licked her lips with her tongue.
The raiders split in half and rushed towards her and Zion.
“ Fight at the same time.”
Among them, cold words came out of the mouth of the man who seemed to be the leader.
Wedge lover!
Dozens of ice picks that appeared in an instant around the green-haired woman who looked like a wizard were all shot at Zion.
Sion does not move even as she watches the awls approaching her.
The moment when the awls reached Zion’s eyes.
“ Whoever likes.”
Kwagwagwagwang!
With a low voice, the Black Seongha, which burst out of Zion’s whole body, smashed all the awls and spread the ice powder in all directions.
The sight of the assailants was temporarily blocked by the ice powder that covered the surroundings.
in between.
undercurrent.
The new form of Shion dispersed like a mirage on the spot, and appeared right in front of the woman who shot out the magic.
Without hesitation, Zion’s hand goes toward the woman’s heart.
But did you expect such a movement of Zion?
Suga Gak!
Two assailants waiting on either side of the woman swung their swords at Sion at the same time.
A sword aimed precisely at Shion’s neck and heart.
If he continued to aim for a woman like this, he would have a sword stuck in his body, but Zion did not withdraw his hand.
No, it went even further.

Muklin (墨鱗).
Dude!
The darkness that envelops Shion’s body as hard as steel.
Swords are pierced over it.
Before the impact caused the dark scales to break.
Wow!
Shion’s outstretched hand hit the woman.
“ aah!”
A scream erupted from the wizard’s mouth.
‘ I’m sure I have better skills than the guys I’ve attacked so far.’
Sion thought as he looked at the wizard whose right arm had been lost due to his own attack with calm eyes.
If I had hit it with certainty, my heart would have exploded without even screaming.
That wizard reacted momentarily just before Shion’s attack hit and leaned over.
‘ Well, it doesn’t matter.’
If a strong opponent appears, that’s all you need to press down with that much stronger force.
That was the way Zion had done so far, and it was the way she will continue to do it in the future.
ride it!
In the meantime, other assailants, except for the female wizard who fell back and stopped bleeding, rushed towards Zion again.
As if he had passed countless times until now, as soon as he bowed his head to avoid the assailant’s sword swung in front of him, another sword flew out from the side, aiming for his neck.
An attack that cannot be avoided because it is coming at the perfect timing, where there is no deviation.

Myeong-an (冥眼).
Sion’s eyes, looking at such a sword, turn black, and he begins to capture the vast amount of information and the flow of grains that exist around him.
With him, the world in the field of view slows down as if watching slow motion.
In such a world, Shion slowly raised his hand and swung a finger to a point on the side of the approaching sword.
That moment.
tuung.
The trajectory of the flying sword was twisted, and it cut through the air, not Zion.
“ What… … !”
A moment of shock in the eyes of the bearded man who stabbed his sword in such a skillful movement that even reports could not believe.
Quad Duck!
Shion’s hand, which he dug without missing the gap that was created by that, smashed the man’s heart neatly.
The light of life disappears from the eyes of such a man.
Seeing this, Shion pulled his hand out of his chest without any regrets and tilted his head slightly to the left.
spot!
At the same time, the sword pierced through the original location of Zion’s head from the back as if it had made a promise.
Shion grabbed the tip of the protruding sword that brushed against his cheek and pulled it forward strongly.
“… … !”
The red-haired man who drew his sword lost his balance and stumbled.
Aww!
Shion, who had firmly stepped on one of the man’s feet and fixed it so that it could not move, rotated half a turn and pushed the opposite hand forward.

Myeongroe (冥雷).
Let’s weave!
The darkness turned into lightning at Zion’s fingertips engulfs and devours all the surrounding light.
The man’s head turning to ashes without even reacting to it.
“ This dog-like bastard!”
The all-white-haired man who wielded the sword for the first time in the life of his colleagues who vanished in an instant spit out abusive language and once again swung the sword wrapped in blue light towards Zion.
Shrek.
The new version of Zion was no longer there.
Kwajik!
A terrifying sound is heard at the same time as the man recognizes that fact.
Immediately, the eyes of the man who turned his head to the side where the sound was heard.
“You have to finish it.”
At first, there was a scene where Shion, who appeared right behind the sorceress, was piercing her chest.
“ Big, gagging!”
A wizard whose breath stops without even being able to scream properly.
Such a woman’s eyes did not understand how Zion had appeared from behind her until the moment of her death.
“ Ahhh!”
Again, the all-white-haired man rushed towards Zion with evil, but his victory was already overtaken.
Kwajik!
‘ Something is wrong.’
Dmitry, the leader of the raid group, who handled all his subordinates and coordinated the battle while watching Shion slowly walking toward him, thought.
I thought it was an easy task.
Taking the life of an incompetent prince and one of his subordinates, who were almost abandoned even in the imperial family.
Various rumors have been heard along with the word that it has changed these days, but I thought it was just an exaggeration.
However, in reality, the power of Agnes of Zion was not fully captured by the rumors.
‘ The author… … Are you really that Zion Agnes?’
read at noblemtl. com
Monster.
The Zion Agnes he saw was already a monster just like the other Agnes clan.
Did he really become that strong in such a short amount of time? Otherwise… … .
At the same time, Dmitry’s mind came to mind, above all else, to ask the client to handle Prince Zion with care.
Was the client already aware of this?
‘You have to tell me.’
I had to tell the main unit, who was now waiting outside the village, everything I had seen.
‘ Get out of here for now.’
With that thought, Dmitry pulled out a small glass bead from his waist.
An artifact with short-distance space travel magic.
It was a one-time use, but in the present age, there were so few wizards who could use space magic that they could count on their fingers, so it was a treasure worth calling.
Crisp!
Dmitry broke those glass beads without hesitation.
Above all else, life came first.
That moment.
Whoa!
His body begins to fade with the burst of light.
‘ Sion Agnes, remember… … .’
At last, Dmitry’s body was about to disappear completely.
“ Where are you going?”
Kwagak!
Suddenly, Shion, who appeared right in front of him, smiled brightly, took out Iklaxia and plunged it into the light that surrounded Dmitry.
That moment.
It’s hard!
The darkness that spread from the half-black sword that penetrated the light without any resistance began to shatter all the space movement techniques that covered Dmitry’s body.
Heukseongha, a power that denies everything, has erased some of the elements that make up the movement technique.
“!!!!!!”
Dmitry’s body, which had faded, became clear again.
With him, his pupils began to dilate to the point where they could no longer grow.
“ How, how… … .”
Dmitry stares blankly at a scene that he can’t quite comprehend with his own head and repeats the same words over and over again.
The last scene that came into his sight.
Scratch!
It was the figure of Shion hitting his neck with emotionless eyes.
“ I didn’t know it would come out so blatantly.”
Sion muttered a little while looking at Dmitry’s head, which was lying on the floor separated from his body.
Of course, I assumed there was going to be a disturbance.
Because Zion’s own brothers and sisters wanted this proof to fail more than anyone else.
They were certain they would not solve the disaster, but they would do anything to eliminate even the possibility of one-on-one.
‘ Still, there are about two guys who will send even human hunters like this.’
Recalling the faces of those two, Shion looked towards Liusina.
She was also just separating the last enemy’s head from her body.
‘ Looking at you, you killed him while playing around again.’
Perhaps if she had made up her mind, she could have done it much faster than Zion herself.
“ When this is over, I’m so touched… … .”

Meanwhile, Liusina, who approached Zion, muttered with a dissatisfied expression on her face.
at that time.
“ These people are a reconnaissance team, and there is a separate headquarters.”
Before Shion, a woman with short hair and big eyes appeared from behind a hidden tree and opened her mouth.
It was Narie, the top informant of ‘Eye of the Moon’ .
Her eyes frowned as she looked at the brutal battlefield.
” We’re waiting nearby and we’re going to raid this town soon.”
The figure of Nari, who seems more hazy by disturbing the focus of her eyes, which is still not very familiar, because she did not take a closer look at the scene.
As soon as she finished her words.
Sussuk! Sussuk!
Something rustled in the nearby bush and started heading towards the village.
As if they had already known the identity of the symbol, the expressions of the people including Zion did not change at all.
“ What did you ask me to find out more than that?”
Shion asked, turning his gaze to Narie again from the presence.
At that question, Nari opened a small map and began to open her mouth.
“ Here, here, here… … These three.”
The three dots displayed on the map with him.
“ A place that is high enough that you can see the Kurdish village at a glance, but at the same time, the top cannot be seen from below. Right?”
“ Yes.”
“ But why did you tell me to check out this place?”
Nari asked Shion, who was looking at the area marked on the map, but there was no answer.
‘ Oh, I have to report… … .’
When Nari cried inside him.
“ From now on, I will proceed as I said in advance.”
With those words, Zion, who opened his eyes from the map, began to move slowly.
The direction was not going to the Kurdish village by anyone looking at it.
“ Master, what about the village? They say they will be attacked soon.”
Looking at Shion’s back, Riusina asked.
Rather than asking because he was genuinely worried about the village, he could easily guess that he was asking because of the Congo water that would fall if he went there.
“ This is earlier than that. and… … .”
Zion answered him without stopping.
“ There is no one else to stop them.”
Zion’s eyes radiated a red light, and he was looking at the setting sun over the mountain.
* * *
“… … Are you really there?”
On a hill where the sun has completely gone down.
There a man murmured as he looked down at the slowly lit Kurdish village.
The appearance of such a man was very peculiar.
As if stitched together, his whole body was full of stitches, and the color of each part was subtly different.
An appearance that a normal human could never come out of.
But for the man it wasn’t a problem.
Because men weren’t human from the beginning.
Demon Cainris.
That was the true nature of the man.
“ Yeah. Are you surprised?”
To Cainris’ words, a woman with green eyes and a pale blue body among the three demons standing behind them answered while looking at the village.
“ I wonder if that ‘Giwang’ must have been in a corner like this after he retired… … .”
The Demon King Liam Reiner.
It was given the nickname because it was like the king of blood-crazed demons that crushed all the monsters that came into sight with only two fists.
The leader of the extermination squad that the demons on the border feared the most, and the No. 1 target for extermination chosen by the demons.
In the past, when he appeared on the battlefield, the monsters shrugged off just their existence and thought of defeat in their minds.
One of the undisputed transcendents who can change the game on the battlefield alone.
“ You idiots of the Empire, it’s not enough to neglect that power, to treat them like this.”
Cainris remembered.
In the past, when he was on the battlefield of the border, how much fear Liam Reiner’s existence gave him and other monsters a great fear.
And what meaning did it have for humans?
I couldn’t understand the Empire that treated such a great hero in such a way.
“ You said you came here after you retired? We’re fine.”
The demon woman answered with a smirk on her shoulders.
“ Thanks to you, I can kill you more easily.”
The reason she and Cainris and other demons came here was only to take the life of Liam Reiner.
An instruction from one of the Five Magic Spirits, who oversees all the demons in the Empire.
So it had to be a success.
‘ If it’s the original, it would be impossible to deal with even if all the demons here rushed at me… … .’
Cainris thought so, fiddling with something in her arms.
‘ If this were the case, the story would be different.’
One of the Seven Great Disasters of the Empire, an army called an illusion because nothing including its identity and cause is known.
Cainris now had a ‘coordinate’ that could generate such a phantom army.
“ No matter how noble you are, you cannot handle the entire army alone.”
With madness in the eyes of the muttering demons, expectations begin to rise.
The joy felt when dealing with the demon king who reigned with the fear of demonic monsters with his own hands must be immense.
Was it because I was too focused on that thought?
The demons could not see.
Shrek-
The darkness that slowly forms next to them and shakes as if smiling.
