I became the youngest prince in the novel Episode 145
Chapter 38: To the Church of Light (5)
“I never thought something like this would happen in one shot… … .”
Sion muttered as he looked at Keyndal’s body falling to the floor with his upper body completely torn apart.
Even though he said he had become significantly stronger compared to when he went to Angelosh Territory, he never thought he could kill him so easily.
The head, heart, and even the core exploded with the previous blow, so there was no possibility of regeneration.
The possibility of regeneration is limited.
‘In the past, that guy was resurrected instead of regenerated.’
In that case, there was a good chance that this guy, who was of the same level, could also be resurrected.
“… … “Are you dead?”
Just then, Olivia approaches from behind and utters words that sound like a resurrection spell.
Did he at least benefit from her spell?
That moment,
Knock knock!
With a strange sound, the corpses of other dead people nearby disintegrated and gathered together with Keyndal’s body, which had only the lower half of his body left, and began to form a new body.
A technique previously used by Cesarus.
Keyndal was using that technique this time.
“Wow!”
Is it because he hastily used the liquor of half-life after his sudden death?
As soon as his body regenerated, Keyndal vomited a bowl of blood and retreated at an insane speed, widening the distance between him and Sion.
‘What the hell, what the hell!’
Young huge fear in his eyes.
I couldn’t even perceive it properly.
All he remembers from a moment ago was that his attack and that man’s fist collided, and at that moment, he lost consciousness.
And when I came to my senses again, the Half Life Jutsu, which can only be used once, had already been activated.
‘strong. It’s so much that I can’t even guess.’
I thought it wouldn’t be easy since I came all the way through the train alone, but I never dreamed it would be this strong.
Who would have thought that one’s life could be lost in a single blow.
At this level, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was just below the seven heavens.
‘It’s not at a level I can deal with.’
Keyndal was cool-headed and quick to judge.
Therefore, he also knew that he had no chance of winning in the current situation.
‘then… … .’
widely!
With that thought, Keyndal snapped his fingers.
That moment,
Damn it!
A hole opened in the ceiling of the train, and the signs above poured into the compartment.
They were subordinates who had been waiting on top of the train in advance in case their target escaped.
Kiaaaaaa!
Originally, he had planned to attack together with his subordinates, but after the attack a little while ago, Keyndal’s thoughts had completely changed.
‘Just run away.’
After confirming that his subordinates were rushing toward their target, a platinum-haired woman, Keyndal immediately soared toward the hole in the ceiling.
The target probably won’t be able to deal with all the signs alone, so it may take some time.
If you take advantage of that opportunity and jump off the train… … .
But at that moment,
C’mon!
With a sound like a snake crawling,
Rattling!
Keyndal’s body, which was about to jump off the train, stopped in place.
Before he knew it, a blue-black chain was wrapped around his ankle.
Soon after,
“Where are you going?”
Zion appeared on the roof of the train, clutching the other end of the chain with a low but eerie voice.
“What about that woman…?” … !”
A voice full of confusion flows from Keyndal’s mouth.
“Your goal is stronger than you think.”
The moment Shion smiled and answered,
Hwaaaaaaa!
-Why is it so strong… … Wow!
The screams of the dead rang out along with the enormous sacred power exploding from the hole.
“Ugh!”
Keyndal, who realized that something had failed in the light and sound, let out a groan of despair and cut off the chained ankle.
Then, he fired hundreds of demonic energy that bunched up like an awl towards Sion and desperately threw himself outside the train.
He hasn’t given up running yet.
However, Zion’s movements were much faster than his movements.
“You haven’t answered my question yet.”
Shion appeared right next to Kayndal like a ghost in the darkness and thrust her left fist into his side.

Toukwaang!
With the sound of a shell exploding, Sain’s body bounced to the other side of the fist and fell back onto the roof of the train.
‘… … ‘I can’t escape!’
Keyndal’s eyes are dyed with despair.
If this continued, I really had no choice but to face death.
“Aaaah!”
He turned the survival instinct filling his mind into a loud cry and stretched out both hands towards Zion.
Quad deuk!
The fraud that burst out from Keyndal’s hands sucked up all the surrounding energy and swelled like crazy, then transformed into the shape of a huge snake and shot towards Zion.
A final struggle made by consuming all the life he had.
Quaaaaa!
The red snake, which is stronger than the last blow that Cesarus used before, only targets Zion’s neck.
The surrounding mana screams and burns, unable to withstand that force.
Tooung!
In comparison, Zion’s fist thrown towards the approaching snake was very shabby.
An ordinary fist that does not feel any power, not even the Black Star.
It looked so dangerous that if Olivia had seen it, she would have run away screaming.
However, the moment the fist of Sion and the snake launched by Keyndal touch each other, blah blah blah!
A completely different scene than expected unfolded.
Spider-web-like gold starts from the area touched by Zion’s fist and quickly spreads throughout the snake.
The red snake splits into hundreds of pieces along the crack, shattering into pieces and disappearing.
Even that is not enough,
Kwazizig!
Sion’s blow, which extended through space, erased Kayndal’s entire lower body.
“Kwaaaaaak!”
The moment a loud scream bursts out of Sain’s mouth, crack!
Zion suddenly appeared right in front of him and stepped on his chest.
Sion, who naturally ignored Keyndal’s screams that rang out once again, slowly opened his mouth.
“I have something to ask.”
In fact, I could have completely erased it with the previous blow, but the reason I kept it alive was because of the question that arose in my head.
“Why were you targeting Olivia Bright?”
According to the chronology, Olivia was not attacked during this time.
No, there had never been an attack by a demonic force until just before the Great War broke out.
The change in content means that the movements of the monsters involved have also all changed.
“… … .”
Keyndal glares at Sion without answering.
Nevertheless, as if it didn’t matter, Shion asked the next question.
“The Church of Light headquarters that exists in Legero. “Is this incident related to that place?”
Even though these guys could have killed Olivia in Hubris, they deliberately targeted the moment when she would head to Legero.
That means there is a high probability that this attack was planned by monsters hiding in the Church of Light.
“Besides, for some reason, this attack doesn’t seem to have a purpose in itself.”
If that were the case, Olivia would have been dealt with in a much easier way than this.
at that time,
“Hahaha!”
Keyndal, who was being stepped on by Sion, burst into laughter.
“Did you really think I would answer you? “This is truly foolish.”
Fresh blood starting to flow from his eyes, nose, and mouth.
“I have only one thing to say to you.”
Keyndal’s eyes slowly draw an arc.
“Try struggling amidst destruction at least once, human.”
As the meaningful words flowed from Keyndal’s mouth, the light completely disappeared from his eyes.
He committed suicide by destroying the core.
“Destruction… … .”
Shion muttered that and looked at Keyndal’s body gradually disappearing.
Keyndal did not answer the question and answer just now, but Sion had gotten what she wanted to some extent.
The subtle reaction Keyndal showed every time he spoke.
Through that reaction, Shion was convinced that his guess was true.
In fact, from the beginning, the question and answer itself was not started because I wanted to hear the answer, but to observe Keyndal’s reaction.
‘I smell something.’
It was a journey that started with a light heart just to learn the contents of the oracle, but it seemed like it could turn out to be bigger than I thought.
‘Once I get to Legero, I’ll have to try contacting the eye of the moon.’
Thinking this, Zion’s eyes sank deeply as he watched Olivia coming up to the roof of the train through the hole.

Office on the top floor of Qingcheng Palace.
“Whoa… … .”
A loud sigh flowed from the mouth of the 5th princess Deanna, who was sitting there.
She looked very distraught.
“Utekan is dead…” … .”
More than a week had already passed since she heard the news, but Deanna was still unable to escape the impact.
Of course, it was not like mourning for her dead brother.
Because there was no such thing as affection between them from the beginning.
“That too to Zion.”
How on earth did Sion, who went to deal with the monster army, end up killing Utekan?
It was a very questionable situation, but there was something else that was even more incomprehensible than that.
“How on earth did they kill him?”
A large colony of giants.
It was a place full of forces supporting him, so much so that it could be said to be Utecan territory.
How was it possible for Sion, who entered such a large colony with only his own bodyguard, to kill Utekan?
After that, Zion even took most of the major tribes of the giant colony under his command in just one week.
A fact that is simply unbelievable.
“I heard that after entering the colony, they immediately rallied the giants who opposed the 4th prince. In addition, it is said that he received help from monsters during the war with the giants on the 4th prince’s side.”
Lloyd opened his mouth to Deanna.
“no way… … Are those monsters an army of monsters?”
“We haven’t figured it out yet, but it’s highly likely. Of course, Prince Sion’s side claims that the monster army was already destroyed in the steel fortress and that it was other monsters that appeared in the large colony.”
“You can insist on that as much as you want… … !”
Deanna’s words stopped as she was answering him.
Her eyes slowly began to shake as if she realized something along with him.
if.
Really if.
‘What if all of this was Zion’s intention?’
What if they selected an army of monsters, took possession of them, sent them toward the large colony on purpose, and then lured Utekan into killing them?
What if the subsequent takeover of the giant colony was all planned from the beginning?
‘No, that can’t be.’
Deanna, who had thought about it that far, shook her head to shake off that thought.
Not only was it a huge leap forward, but it was virtually impossible to plan and move it all.
And whether that is true or not, as a result, Zion obtained a large colony of giants and gained an absolute advantage in the future competition.
It was very clear that if a ‘world conference’ was held in this state, Zion would take the throne.
‘It can’t go on like this.’
With that thought in mind, Deanna, who was frowning as if contemplating something, opened her mouth again towards Lloyd.
“I need to hurry up and visit the Fairy Forest.”

La Morde, the largest train station in Legero, the City of Light.
Inside La Morde, which was named after one of the saints of all time, the Holy Knights and priests dispatched from the Church of Light were busy moving about.
Their faces look very urgent.
After all, they were now facing an emergency situation.
“What happened to the lady who decided to come from the Henryson family?”
“There is no news yet.”
In response to the words of Findry, the third-class paladin who commanded them, one of the paladin next to him shook his head with a dark expression and responded.
“Ha, where on earth did it go…? … .”
A bewildered voice came out of Findree’s mouth.
The incident began last night when the daughter of the Cross family, one of the participants in the saintess competition, went missing.
She did not appear even after the scheduled time had passed, and the Church of Light became suspicious and immediately began searching, but even after searching the entire route, they could not find even a trace of her.
And starting with that, it began to become clear that other contestants in the saintess competition were also disappearing one by one.
The trains they were said to have boarded were empty, and all traces of people known to be traveling on foot, carriage, or horseback were cut off.
Simultaneous disappearance of contestants in the sainthood competition.
In this unprecedented situation, the Church of Light declared an emergency, and that was why the paladins, including Findree, were here.
“What about the newly arrived participants other than the Henryson family?”
“… … doesn’t exist. “The only participants currently in the city are those who originally lived here or those who arrived before yesterday evening.”
Findree’s words became even more distorted at the paladin’s words.
Even though the saintess competition could not be held, the disappearance of the participants was a very serious matter.
Among the participants were several women of high-ranking nobles, and if they made a mistake, they could have had to take full responsibility for their disappearance.
“We have to find the missing people somehow. Just in case, we station people on standby here, and everyone else traces their movement routes again… … .”
Because Findry wanted to avoid that situation, she was about to give instructions to the other paladins with stern eyes.
“excuse me! Look over there!”
One of the priests next to him hurriedly pointed somewhere with a surprised look on his face.
People’s eyes turn towards the direction his finger points.
“… … !”
Soon, something came into their field of vision, slowly approaching towards them from the far end of the track.
Shake! Shake!
train.
It was a train.
The solar train departs from the capital city of Hubris and arrives here.
However, the condition of that train was very miserable.
One side was gone, the entire roof was torn off, there were no intact compartments, and numerous wheels were missing.
It’s amazing how it moves.
In fact, the speed of the train was gradually decreasing as if its lifespan had come to an end.
and,
“Well, that… … !”
As the train got closer, the eyes of those who noticed something began to dilate even more.
“Participant… … I am a participant. “The contestants for the saintess competition have arrived!”
Two figures sitting side by side on the roof of the engine room of a half-destroyed train.
It was Zion and Olivia next to him, looking exhausted.
