18 The Night of Extinction (3)
Icarus, one of the Imperial Wizards.
Last day, Zion and Riusina suffered close to annihilation, but to be precise, it was not annihilation.
At the ceremony, there were remnants of the military that were performing missions outside the imperial castle, and they were not involved in the incident and were still alive.
Of course, Icarus was on the verge of dissolution, and the status of the remaining wizards was not what it used to be.
for that instance.
“ Damn it! Why are we doing this… … .”
The two guards guarding the main gate of Jeokseonggung were all wizards belonging to Icarus.
Among them, an angry voice came out of the mouth of the wizard Albert, who was standing on the left.
“ Even if Icarus is destroyed, shouldn’t the main gate guard be made by lower rank knights?”
“ Don’t complain.”
The wizard Johnson, standing to his right, looked at Albert and answered.
“ Honestly, I think we are lucky to be alive right now.”
“ Ha, yes, but it’s still too much. It’s not our fault, but why… … .”
“ Shh! Quiet.”
Johnson interrupted Albert, placing a finger on his lips.
Now, this place was in front of Jeokseonggung, and anyone in the palace could have listened to Albert.
“ It is right to remain quiet for the time being as if a mouse is dead. Even if Icarus is destroyed, our skills do not disappear. When the situation calms down, I’ll probably send it to another wizard.”
“ So when is that? Even at this screening ceremony, we were completely excluded. Did you see it a while ago too? He scraped all the troops inside the Jeokseonggung and sent them out of the imperial castle. But we are here.”
“… … .”
Johnson is silent at Albert’s words.
In fact, he was not without complaints about this treatment.
I don’t know what he was going to do, but the third prince, Enoch, was putting all his heart and soul into the royal family inspection that was held from tomorrow.
He had secretly stole all the power except for the minimum force to protect the palace.
Even so, the fact that they were guarding the palace was nothing short of being completely alienated.
at that time.
“ Uh… … ?”
A questionable voice came out of Albert’s mouth, who was looking ahead.
“ Why?”
“ Look over there. What is that?”
Johnson’s eyes, which turned to the point where Albert’s finger was pointing, also begin to stain with doubt.
bum bum, bum bum.
A person was walking in the distance with steps that ominously stimulated the depths of his heart.
The darkness that was deeper than the night that spread from the seal dyed the surroundings even more black.
But that wasn’t what made Albert and Johnson’s eyes questionable.
Hundreds of imprints followed by black imprints.
Usually, a corps consists of tens of thousands of soldiers.
But Albert and Johnson felt as if the entire corps was in motion from the hundreds of people they could see right now.
A very rare sight even in the Imperial Palace.
The problem, however, was that the corps was approaching the Jeokseonggung Palace.
“ Stand, please… … !”
Whoops!
Albert’s head, which was about to shout something with his big eyes, disappeared.
“ Albert!”
Albert’s body slowly fell to the floor.
Soon after, in Johnson’s eyes, who had been left alone, he began to see the figures of the people who were approaching right in front of him one by one.
“ All right, you… … !”
Among them, the moment when Johnson’s eyes were astonished when he saw the face of the man walking in front of him.
Kwajik!
His head, like Albert, also disappeared in an instant.
Shion, the man who looked at the wizards who had turned into corpses so quickly with drowsy eyes, turned his head toward the tightly closed front gate of the Jeokseonggung Palace.
“ Go right in.”
The moment when a quiet murmur came out of Zion’s mouth.
Aww!
With a loud roar, the main gate of the palace shattered into pieces.
bum bum, bum bum.
As a result, Sion slowly walks into the open Jeokseonggung Palace.
About halfway through the huge hall that continued through the entrance, Zion.
“ Attack! It’s an attack!!”
A number of knights and wizards rushed out from the inside of the palace as if an alarm had sounded.
Perhaps they did not know that they would be attacked within the imperial castle, and their eyes were all filled with bewilderment and surprise.
“ How dare you attack the castle palace where His Majesty Enoch resides!”
The escort knights of Jeokseonggung rush towards Sion, with the leader of the Nogisa with long beards leading the way.
The moment when such knights rushed to the vicinity of Zion.
“ Erase everything, starting with the ones who run to you.”
Lloyd, the captain of the 1st division of Ygracia, standing right behind Shion, spoke out in a cold voice.
The spirit corps finally begins to move with him.
blah blah blah blah!
hundreds? No, thousands?
Countless number of ice spirits summoned in an instant turn into white spears and shoot at the rushing knights.
Quad Duke!
“ Ouch!”
“ Big, gagging!”
The knights who allowed all such spears of ice into their bodies without being able to properly block even a single one.
In the first place, the spirit magic used by the spirit masters of Ygracia was comparable in power to the lieutenant’s magic.
That’s why there was no way the knights guarding the entrance to the palace could stop it.
“!!!!!”
The eyes of the wizards who watched the scene from behind were astonished.
It was only one workshop, but that was enough to identify the attackers.
Because there was only one force in this world that could draw out thousands of spirit magics of that level at the same time.
Spirit Corps Ygracia.
“ I, the spirit corps!”
“ Why is Ygracia here!”
An embarrassed cry erupted from the wizards’ mouths.
Kwagwagwagwang!
It was already too late.
The spirits of Ygracia who annihilated all the knights that rushed at them and rushed towards the wizards.
It didn’t even take ten seconds.
“ Uh, why is Ygracia… … Alas!”
The wizards gathered in the hall by such spirits also begin to rapidly annihilate.
Agnes Empire’s strongest group of spirit warriors, Igrasia, named the Spirit Army because only a few hundred people can generate power comparable to that of the Army.
The power of Igrasia was unfolding here without filtration.
The spirits of Ygracia, who cleaned up the enemies in the hall in such an instant, looked at Zion.
Because now Zion has the authority to command them.
“The 3rd Prince Enoch’s office and bedroom are all on the top floor of the palace. We will open the way right there.”
It was the enemy castle, which was like Enoch’s stronghold, but there was a reason Lloyd spoke so confidently.
They also had pride in the power of the spirit corps, but more than that, the present Jeokseonggung was nothing more than an empty house.
It may be because of the screening ceremony that will be held from tomorrow, but almost all of Enoch’s power in the Imperial Castle went out, and the fact was thoroughly confirmed.
Lloyd was unwittingly admiring Shion, who had created all of this.
‘ From attracting His Majesty Diena, who never moves unless he completely leads the board, to cooking the 3rd Prince to his liking and creating this situation.’
Although he did not know the strength he possessed, he had no choice but to acknowledge that horrifyingly deep heart.
at that time.
“ No, you guys go underground.”
Shion shook her head and answered.
“ Yes?”
“ Because there’s something Diana wants to check.”
“ What… … .”
Lloyd’s eyes were stained with doubt, but the new version of Shion was already heading upstairs in the distance in the palace.
“… … Let the 2nd and 3rd squads follow the charge of Zion. The rest go underground with me.”
“ I see.”
Lloyd, who was looking at Shion’s back, shook his head once, gave instructions, and started moving rapidly towards the basement.
In his experience, speed was the lifeblood of such an empty house robber more than anything else.
“ You, who are you… … !”
Quad Duck!
“ They are intruders! membrane… … Alas!”
In the middle, the troops kept coming out to block the way.
They could not stop even for a single moment the spirit corps, the core power of the 5th Princess Diena.
It was just a meaningless repetition of death.
How recklessly did it go down?
In their eyes, as if it was the last gateway to the basement, they entered an iron gate that was well three times thicker than the other gates and had even been magically treated.
“ Crush it right away.”
Aww!
Lloyd and Igracia, who immediately smashed the iron gate and entered it at once, saw the sight beyond the iron gate slowly.
That moment.
“ Crazy… … !”
Along with harsh profanity, Lloyd’s face, which had not changed a single expression no matter what happened, began to contort without mercy.
* * *
Suga Gaga!
Sword attacks aimed at the vital point were pouring from both sides of Shion, who climbed the stairs almost as if running.
As if he had expected it, Shion naturally took a step diagonally and at the same time leaned over to avoid the sword attacks.
Fuhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
The darkness that circulated around Zion with him swelled up like a flame, and swallowed up all the knights who fired their swords.
“ Ouch!”
From the darkness that engulfed those knights, there was a creaking sound, but Shion passed by without even checking.
‘ You must reach the place where Enoch is as quickly as possible.’
After all, most of the power remaining in the Jeokseonggung will be located underground where the Black Magic Lab is located.
The upper part was as if it was empty, so speed was more important than anything else.
Due to the nature of Enoch, there was almost no chance that he would curl up and run away from the palace to avoid Zion himself, but there was still a possibility that he might do it.
If I missed Enoch here, my future plans could be severely disrupted.
“ Stop it! Never let it go up here!”

Meanwhile, dozens of wizards on the side of the 3rd Prince descended from the top of the palace and indiscriminately fired their magic at Zion and Ygracia who followed.
Is it really the home of one of the imperial families who are challenging the next hegemony of the Agnes Empire?
Perhaps they had enough time to spare even though most of their power was turned four-row, so the attacks of such wizards were different from those who had clashed at the entrance a while ago.
Whoa ah ah ah!
All sorts of magic approaching, dyeing the entire space red so that they couldn’t even get out.
Such magics are mixed in the air to create synergy and become more powerful.
“ Develop the spirit tree!”
With the sharp cry of Celia, the captain of the 2nd Igracia Squadron, who was looking at the approaching magic.
Ded Ded Dude!
Numerous spirits summoned by the spirit masters’ complex chant were all woven together and began to form the shape of a huge tree.
Spirit Tree.
One of the representative anti-army defense techniques of the Spirit Corps Ygracia.
Aww!
Soon after, the spirit tree and dozens of magic collided with each other, and a huge explosion erupted with a roar that could tear the eardrums.
That moment.
————–!
A ray of darkness pierces through such an explosion.
As if a lightning bolt was drawn horizontally, the darkness crossed the battlefield and in an instant it was rushing to the back of the wizards on the 3rd Prince side.
However.
“ Even if you dare to underestimate us, you are still oily! You are begging me to kill you!”
Before Shion, who had become so dark, passed all the wizards in the enemy castle, one of the close combat wizards who sensed it with excellent reaction speed immediately blocked the front of Shion.
Spa Papa Pat!
Along with him, the other battle wizards also began to tighten towards Zion, filling all directions with about a dozen auxiliary and battle magics all over their bodies.
“ Damn it!”
Celia, who witnessed the scene between the exploding explosions, spit out swear words and rushed towards Zion.
‘ What the hell are you going to do by yourself!’
A young look in her eyes was puzzled.
Did you not realize that the level itself was different from the wizards you were dealing with at the entrance a while ago due to the recent clash?
He couldn’t quite understand why he went into the midst of veteran battle wizards alone.
Even if Prince Zion had achieved remarkable growth in recent years, that would have been suicidal.
“I ’ll crush you at once!”
In the meantime, the figure of Zion completely disappearing among the battle wizards who finally attacked.
“ Damage!”
It was a moment when Celia, who had not been able to reach him, contorted her face and cried out urgently.
“ The footsteps.”
A low voice echoing in the ears of those on the battlefield, including her.
“ I think you do.”
they didn’t know
That Zion induced this situation from the beginning.
with him.
bright light.
Kwajizijik!
The battle wizard’s wall covering Zion burst out without mercy, and an eerie black light began to soar like an explosion, enough to give you goosebumps just looking at it.
