28 Stripping the ceiling (1)
Agnes Empire University Horse Tower, said to be the best university tower in the Empire.
“ It’s the first time I’ve ever seen a spell that works this way.”
“ Certainly, combining it with blood magic could maximize the effect.”
“ Before that, how about this? Here… … .”
A large number of wizards were busily moving in the laboratory of the master of the mage located on the top floor there.
The peculiar thing was that many of them were blood mages.
It was a strange sight that there were so many blood mages, even in a large city, there were only a handful of them, but no one thought it strange.
“ How about this other than that? If you twist the drinks like this… … .”
They just do their job as if they are used to it.
A small room that exists on one side of such a laboratory.
“ How… … .”
There, Ahmad Ozrima, one of the Seven Heavens and the owner of the University Tower, looked at the woman sitting in front of him with trembling eyes.
A woman with dark hair and red eyes.
Its appearance was very beautiful, but it was nothing like that that made the Archmage’s eyes tremble.
“ How can human nature be like this?”
The eyes of Ahmad, who were able to see the essence of man as he was able to glimpse some of the truth.
The essence of the woman, Riusina, reflected in his eyes was quite shocking, if not as much as Prince Zion.
The essence is full of only bright red life.
It was not even understood how humans with this essence existed.
“ Spirit, be careful. You shouldn’t say that in front of people.”
Liusina opened her mouth with a grin at Ahmad like that.
“ I’m still holding on to it.”
Of course, what he was holding back was his desire to kill Ahmad.
There were seven heavens.
One of the most powerful people of our time.
If you take that life, how many lives can you get?
Just thinking about it made her body tremble a little, but she endured it.
Because I couldn’t break Zion’s instructions engraved on my soul.
“ It’s the same with me.”
Ahmad’s eyes, as he responded with a smile, also gleamed with the curiosity of a wizard.
In addition to that, his momentum was also increasing endlessly in line with Liusina’s life.
Ded Ded Dude!
A room shaking as if it was about to collapse at any moment due to a collision of momentum between two wizards who reached the sky.
It was the side of Ahmad who gained the momentum first.
“ I don’t know where someone like you came out of nowhere, but for now, let’s start with what His Majesty Zion has instructed.”
“ It’s sympathetic. Still, the owner told me to go as fast as I could because it was going to be useful soon.”
“ I will soon be able to use this… … .”
With that mumble, the archmage placed a piece of paper with a magic circle on it on the table.
It was the red circle that Zion had given him in the past.
However, the shape of the magic circle was quite different from that time.
“ That means something big could happen sooner or later.”
“ Then it’s the owner’s business, but it has to be big.”
With that in mind, Liu Sina looked at the red circle on the table.
Her eyes fluttered with anticipation as if thinking about what would happen next.
* * *
Zion’s bedroom that exists in the Chimseonggung Palace.
There, Shion was sipping coffee while burying herself in a chair after a long time.
“ How are you, my lord? Does it suit your taste?”
Fredo, an old knight standing next to him, asked Shion.
Shion quietly nodded at him.
Fredo laughed softly at Shion’s reaction.
Because if Prince Zion, who is very picky about coffee, reacted like that, it was really okay.
“ Next time, just tell me at any time. I’ll get on it right away.”
Nogisa nodded and spoke.
To be honest, Fredo did not know if the present Prince of Zion was the same person as the former Prince of Zion.
Because too much has changed for that.
But he knew only one thing.
That he is one of the few people Prince Zion believes in.
Therefore, Fredo also wanted to repay Prince Zion’s trust in some way.
‘ Anyway, it’s all about making coffee like this.’
However, it was the Nogisa’s heart that he wanted to stay by the side of Prince Zion for a long time, even if this was helpful.
at that time,
“ Sir Zion.”
Thierry came in through the window instead of the door and called for Zion.
It was a strange position, but Shion turned his head toward Thierry without panicking.
Because it was Zion himself who told me to come without being noticed in the first place.
“ We proceeded as directed.”
Thierry immediately bowed her head and opened her mouth to Shion.
“ The information that Your Highness is not coming out has been secretly leaked to the media in the capital.”
“ What else?”
“ The information that there is something wrong with His Majesty’s body and that the mysterious monster is currently in Chimseonggung can only be exposed until the top intelligence groups of each faction do their best to dig into it.”
Shion laughed softly at his words.
The first steps to setting the trap were slowly being completed.
‘ People don’t doubt what they’ve achieved through their efforts to cut bones.’
That’s why I’m sure you’ll believe the information you’ve obtained is true.
Of course, some of the truth is also mixed with it, so it’s harder to think of it as a lie.
Besides, Zion hasn’t actually left the bedroom for several days now.
Because of this, except for Fredo, even the knights and servants of Chimseonggung could not see Zion’s face.
He was also refusing to receive any visits from nobles and officials.
All of this was the cornerstone for setting the trap.
“ What about the other royal families?”
“ It is quieter than expected. It seems like it will move after the grand banquet is over.”
“ It’s a big banquet… … I forgot about the funeral.”
At Thierry’s words, Shion nodded as if he had just remembered it.
Agnes Grand Banquet.
It was a large banquet held within the imperial castle during this period, and its importance was much higher than that of other banquets.
Because, like the Agnes State Council, only nobles and their families close to the core of imperial power could attend.
Therefore, the imperial family also attended the grand banquets and strengthened their personal connections.
Also, I was looking for a mate.
‘ Obviously, nothing happened during the grand banquet in the chronicle.’
So there were some things I didn’t care about.
But it’s unclear how things will change this time around.
It was when Shion tapped the table with his finger as if thinking about something.
Tickle!
The bedroom door opened and someone walked in.
“ The purification is over.”
A woman with her white hair fluttering and waving a flask containing something shiny.
It was just a monster.
There was a danger of being attacked again if she stayed in the hut, so Sion had secretly brought her into the Imperial Castle.
“ Now, after drinking this, you can start ‘making the frame’ in earnest.”
In the process, Goeui knew that Shion was the prince, but he still did not raise his words.
Truly that honorable act.
“ Sir Zion. Then I wish you a speedy recovery.”
“ Sir, please take care of yourself.”
As if they had promised him, Thierry and Fredo bowed their heads toward Shion and left the bedroom.
“ Oh, there are only two men and women in the bedroom. Isn’t that too naughty?”
A mysterious man who approaches Zion with a joke that is not appropriate for his age.
Of course, Shion did not respond to her words.
As if it wasn’t interesting, the monster with a slightly pouty lip held out a flask containing an angel’s blood purified medicine to Shion.
“ Drink it all at once. It’s my first time in a case like yours, so I don’t know exactly what the process will be or how far it will change.”
She went to the bed with those words and tapped her palms as if to sit here.
“ Of course, I don’t know the level of the pain. But don’t worry about the effect. It’s a drug I made.”
His words were full of pride in his own abilities.
“ I do.”
Shion grinned at that, and sat cross-legged at the place she was pointing, and drank all the medicine in the flask.
That moment,
pounding!
strong once.
Zion’s heart jumped.
“ It works faster than expected. Then I will start right away.”
The ghost, noticing the change, sat down behind Shion with a serious expression and began to move his hands quickly.
Whoops!
The energy that flows out of her hand and seeps into Zion’s body.
However, Shion did not detect such a strange movement.
already,
pounding! pounding! pounding! pounding!
It was because I was too busy paying attention to the changes that were taking place in my body.
The heart starts beating like crazy with the first beating as a trigger.
With him, the medicine Zion inhaled begins to spread through the blood vessels and spread throughout the body in an instant.
Whoops!
In addition, Zion’s consciousness moved away from the outside and naturally sunk into the inside.
‘It definitely works.’
The medicine that had spread throughout his body was slowly changing Zion’s blood vessels, muscles, and even his bones.
It wasn’t just a change of appearance.
A change that occurs gradually from genetics.
Whoops, whoops!
A body with no mana that was born as a heavenly type.
It endlessly destroys and reconstructs the essence of the body itself.
As a result, Zion’s body was constantly resounding with eerie sounds.
A dreadful agony struck with him, but Shion endured it without raising an eyebrow.
“ This is… … !”
However, unlike such Shion, there was little confusion in the eyes of the mysterious person who was breathing energy from behind.
Since at some point, Shion’s body has been pushing her away and rejecting her energy.
with him,
self-
A foreign darkness that covered Zion’s body.
Such darkness quickly seeped into his body and began to swallow up all the remnants of the Holy Blood in his veins.
‘ Something is wrong!’
It was completely unexpected.
“ Sir, you must stop!”
After the ghost released his hand, he shouted with a bewildered expression, but Sion could not stop.
No, it didn’t stop.
Because this was a natural situation for Zion right now.
Black Seongha.
A power that denies everything that exists in the world, and a power that only Zion himself can handle.
Such a Heukseongha was tearing up the purified Holy Blood that had entered his body under the will of Zion.
Quad Duck, Quad Duck!
And it led Zion’s body transformation in a new direction.
Soul and body complement each other and can never be separated.
Therefore, as the body changes, the spirit of Zion begins to be elevated endlessly.
Along with that, the realm of Heukseongha is advancing anew.
Whoa!
The Heukseongha, which had been stagnant at the beginning of the three-star, soared to the end at once.
As a result, for a moment, the energy in his body ran like crazy and tried to get out of control, but Sion controlled it by suppressing it even more strongly.
Zion knew.
What a great opportunity this is for you now.
hey hey!
Iklaxia resonates with the Black Star of Zion, revealing her appearance before she knows it.
That moment,
Whoa!
A shock wave that suddenly exploded from Shion’s body began to shatter everything around him.
“ Great!”
A monstrous monster who quickly retreated to him and spread protective magic.
Then, in her eyes,
blatantly!
Sion, who was still sitting in the center of the shock wave, saw cracks like spider webs being drawn all over her body.
“ I hope it’s a humpback… … !”
Before the cry that came out of the monster’s mouth, whose eyes were so wide that it couldn’t grow any longer, was not even completed, paa
A black light bursting from Shion’s body began to cover the entire bedroom.
