27 Double Trap (1)
Observation Deck on the outskirts of the Hwangseong Fortress.
“ The other one?”
Utekan, who was standing there, asked as he saw a woman in a cloak walking alone.
Because I couldn’t see the expressionless man I used to go with all the time.
“ My kids went to steal the Holy Blood or something, but they left for a while because something happened.”
“ Is there a problem?”
“ Well, I don’t know about that. We don’t share all the plans.”
Looking at such a woman, Utekan changed the question.
“ What happened to Zion?”
“ It almost seems right.”
The woman smiled and opened her mouth.
“ I couldn’t get direct information, but based on the indirect information I collected and the circumstances, Sion Agnes came into contact with a mysterious person.”
“… … .”
At those words, Utekan was silent as if thinking about something.
The woman looked at him and shrugged.
“ That said, I don’t know if there is something wrong with Shion Agnes’ body. Because there are a lot of people who are looking for negativity who simply want to improve their body and become stronger.”
“ No, there must be something wrong with your body.”
Then Utekan slowly shook his head and answered.
He knew that he had swallowed up the original Utekan Agnes’ memories.
What a piece of trash Sion Agnes’ body is.
A body that can’t even run properly, let alone simple exercise.
‘ If such a Zion met a mysterious person, there is only one reason.’
I was told that they overcame it because they showed an excellent level of force recently, but it seems that wasn’t everything.
“ Yeah? If you are so sure… … So what are you going to do now?”
As if leaving a choice, the woman looked at Utekan.
“ Isn’t it obvious? You’ll have to kill yourself.”
At that, Utekan opened his mouth, his eyes shining coldly.
The moment when the mysterious person heals the body of Sion Agnes will be the biggest gap that will never happen again.
Even if it wasn’t, the fact that Zion Agnes was outside the Imperial Castle was worth attacking.
“ Where is Zion now?”
“I don’t know. I’m always tracking them, but they keep getting cut off in the middle as if someone is interfering.”
The woman thought that someone was probably the shadow organization of Prince Zion.
“ Then it would be better to wait on the monster side.”
“ I think so too. The location of the monster has already been identified. Unlike usual, he was staying in the suburbs of the capital for a long time. I think I made some kind of deal with Sion Agnes.”
So it was easier to find.
Of course, the acquaintance of the mysterious person who was used to find it had already been killed.
“ Let’s send the power there right now.”
To the woman’s words, Utekan answered with a stiff face.
It’s better to move quickly even if it’s uncertain than to miss the time to prepare for this and that.
Besides, he was thinking of moving even his direct subordinate this time.
“ Oh, are you making decisions that are unusually quick? Then I will add the children under me.”
A woman who smiles at him and talks to him.
But the woman’s smile was filled with a deep soul.

“ Huh… … Do you feel like you got this for nothing? You didn’t even explore the dungeon and went straight there.”
On the way back to Hubris from the ruined Land of Angelosh.
Rat, the leader of the Rat mercenary corps, opened his mouth, remembering Shion who had left first.
“ Doing nothing, what! I almost died! Wow, I still get goosebumps all over my body just thinking about it.”
Amber, who was next to him, said as if she was really creepy, wrapped her arms around her body.
All of the things that happened in Angelosh’s estate were things she would never have experienced in her lifetime.
It was like a disaster that was difficult to avoid, let alone cope with even one.
To be honest, I was surprised that no one died in the estate even now.
‘ No, there were dead people.’
All the young people who were in Angelosh.
I don’t know how Yeongji itself ended up like that, but I didn’t want to think about it any more.
Their employer, who left earlier, said they would contact the Imperial Security Forces, so I won’t care anymore.
But unlike her, Rat smiled and opened her mouth.
“ But that’s it. Aren’t you curious?”
“ What else?”
Rat said to Amber who asked bluntly.
“ The real identity of our employer.”
To be honest, no one thought that Zion Harness, who had now been an employer, was the son of a fledgling aristocrat who had just ventured out.
It was impossible for a single nobleman to survive alone and have so many wizards.
Even the name Zion Harness must have been a pseudonym.
“ Ellie, haven’t you been with him for a while? Do you have any guesses?”
“… … I don’t know.”
After being silent for a moment at Lat’s question, Elesis shook her head.
Of course, she knew the identity of her employer.
But I had no intention of saying it.
‘ Prince Zion Agnes… … .’
Zion’s face pops up in Elesis’ head.
He was the first person in her life to leave such a strong impression in such a short period of time.
No, no one will ever surpass him forever.
The alien darkness that surrounds them, the pure white laughter, and the overwhelming force.
Each and every one of them was still vivid.
‘ Answer… … I have to.’
It was true that Prince Zion saved Elesis’ own life, no matter how other he had it.
That’s why I ended up wanting to repay you, but
– I don’t need you right now. If you want to repay me, you’ll have to be someone who fits that level.
The answer back was this.
– Then if I become a person worthy of that later… … Will you accept the reward?
It was a really strange thing to say.
Prince Zion looked at him with his characteristic languid eyes, but did not answer.
Other than that, all the conversations with Prince Zion were memorable, but there was another word that engraved the most deeply in Elesis’ mind.
– You are special. Just think of that special for a moment.
The words Prince Zion said just before he left.
Those words reminded me of what Elesis’ mother had always told her before she died.
– Elesis, you are more special than anyone else in the world.
A word he never expected to come out of his mouth.
‘ Zion Agnes… … .’
There was an unknown light in Elesis’ eyes as he muttered his name to himself once again.

“ No, look at this, Master!”
– Tweet!
“ Does this tweet hate me?”
– Tweet!
Shion looked at Liusina, who was fighting with the Frost Spirit next to him, with pitiful eyes.
Do people know that the adversary of mankind, who was called the Thousand Year Witch in the past, is doing this?
“ I hate it because you call it chirp.”
With those words, Shion increased the speed of climbing a little more.
Because I didn’t want to get involved in that fight.
Zion and his party are now in a small garden near Hubris.
It was the place where the hut of the ghost was located.
“ No, it’s because I can’t even touch my finger while sitting on the owner’s shoulder.”
– Tit!
A frost spirit who shook her head while resolutely chirping at Riusina’s words.
It was as if he were saying, ‘You can’t do it at all’.
‘ I should have left it on the college tower.’
Sion thought about it while shedding Riusina’s words out of one ear.
It was right that she should now be facing Ahmad in the University Tower, just like other blood mages.
Because it was necessary for the improvement of the red circle.
Still, there was a reason why Shion had to bring Riosina.
– Your Majesty Zion. The movement towards the monsters has been strange lately.
This is what Thierry said when she stopped by the Imperial Palace for a while.
Information obtained by using the monsters in the shadows of eons that were left undestroyed in the past.
Of course, they didn’t know they were being used.
– I was pursuing the whereabouts of the High Emperor and the mysterious evil spirit at the same time. The front side blocked, but the monster side failed.
The moment he heard that from Thierry, Shion was able to draw a conclusion right away.
‘ I found out that I was trying to be treated by a ghost.’
Other than that, there was no reason at all to pursue Zion himself and the mysterious monster at the same time.
how did you find out
‘ If that’s the case, I’d be suspicious of something wrong with my body.’
If Shion himself is on the magic side, he will never miss this opportunity.
It is certain that they will attack soon.
‘ And that’s when I’m at my weakest.’
The moment you receive treatment from the ghost doctor.
That’s why Sion didn’t have to stop Riosina, who insisted that she followed.

Maybe it was something she needed.
‘ No, have you already seen it?’
With that thought, Shion smiled lightly.
In fact, from the moment Zion started climbing the mountain, the darkness under the Black Star had spread lightly throughout the mountain.
Such darkness was whispering to Zion that there were uninvited guests here.
“ Master, when will you start?”
Liusina also whispered softly to Shion, as if she had already noticed.
Her eyes were gleaming with life and anticipation.
Those eyes that really fit the celestial character.
“ Still wait.”
Shion quietly opened her mouth to Riusina.
Unlike her, Zion’s eyes are so quiet.
Shion didn’t want to miss a single guy who was trying to save his life.
So now was not the time.
‘You have to pull it deep.’
so that you can never run away.
Such Shion’s eyes were twitching strangely all of a sudden.

“ I’m really going to save you.”
Goeui looked blankly at the object in front of him and murmured.
angel blood.
Except for a few drops in the deepest part of the Church of Light, it was considered non-existent in the human body.
But the blood of such an angel was enough to fill the bottle in front of her halfway.
“ It’s the first time I’ve ever seen a sheep like this.”
In a way, holy blood was more precious than dragon blood.
Its value is invaluable.
“… … How did you get it?”
The ghost looked at Zion and asked.
Her eyes gleamed in incredible light.
To be honest, he never dreamed that Shion would really save him.
The reason I extended my stay to three weeks was simply because of my interest in Zion and my whims.
However, the man in front of him got the Holy Blood faster than he said at the time, instead of three weeks.
“ Can you cure it?”
As if he had no intention of answering her question, Shion asked with languid eyes.
“ Of course not. I’m not saying I can do what I can’t.”
A monster who smiles lightly and answers.
I thought that Zion wouldn’t be able to save me, but that didn’t mean it wasn’t a lie.
After all, she was a healer who was at the top of the field of human improvement throughout the empire.
“ Once I purify this Holy Blood, I will combine it with other drugs. After that, full-scale improvement treatment begins.”
“ What time?”
“ If it is short, it will take a day, and if it is long, it will take about 3 days. Of course, there will be pain as well. In a way, it changes the composition of the body itself.”
The man in front of me was a unique case that even a bizarre doctor who had seen patients for decades had seen for the first time.
Of course, it was in the top five even if the condition was serious.
So, of course, it took a long time.
“ Come on, let’s start right away.”
With those words, it was time to reach out for the angel’s blood.
“ No.”
Shaking his head slowly, Shion opened his mouth.
“ Before that, I have work to do.”
“ What happened?”
A mysterious person looking at Zion with questionable eyes and asking.
“ Right.”
Shion replied with a smile towards her.
