I Became the Youngest Prince in the Novel Chapter 163

I became the youngest prince in the novel Episode 163

Chapter 45 Tower of Cause and Effect (3)

The office of 1st Prince Rubrios in Baekseong Palace.

Inside, there was Rubrios, sitting with a cold expression, and in front of him, a man dressed as a Church of Light Inquisitor was bowing his head.

“result?”

“… … “I didn’t find it.”

The Heretic Questioner answered the 1st prince’s question with a confused expression.

“hmm… … .”

At those words, Rubrios let out a dissatisfied voice and tapped the armrest with his fingers.

It had already been more than a week since the attack.

Immediately after that, a large number of Heresy Inquisitors and Shadows from the Church of Light were mobilized to track down the instigators of the attack, but they were not achieving any results.

“Were there any traces?”

“That’s right. There was absolutely nothing left.”

The Heretic Questioner shook his head again and answered.

“Magi is an evil force like no other. So once it’s revealed, it’s easy to track… … I couldn’t sense the demon energy itself at all. “I think they probably put a lot of effort into it.”

At this, the rhythm of the first prince’s fingers became faster.

‘Should I give up the chase?’

The Heretic Inquisitor in front of him now was the head of an organization that was one of the top three in the field of tracking down and eradicating unclean things throughout the religious order.

Among them, it’s not enough to even call it the best at tracking monsters.

If such people were to say such things, it was right to assume that they could not be traced.

‘Plus, there are a lot of things that get caught because it has to be done secretly and not revealed.’

A frustrating situation in many ways.

But in the end, the words to stop the chase did not come out of Rubrios’ mouth.

That’s because the anger I felt when I was attacked hadn’t subsided.

In addition, he instinctively realized that he had to somehow succeed in this task in order to eliminate the demons hiding within the empire.

‘Should I borrow Ozrima’s power? No, not there yet.’

According to what Shion said, there were monsters hiding in the Ozrima family, and if they linked up, there was a risk that information would leak out.

‘Where on earth has Zion disappeared in this situation?’

It was when Rubrios thought so, thinking of his half-brother, who had disappeared from the imperial castle a few days ago.

“Your Highness Rubrios!”

The voice of an attendant outside was heard.

“What’s going on?”

“Prince Zion has sent someone.”

“what?”

The first prince’s eyes were filled with doubt.

How could Zion, who is not in the imperial palace right now, send someone?

“Let them in first.”

Rattling!

As soon as Rubrios gave permission, the door to the office opened.

And then a woman comes inside.

Hair as black as ebony and eyes as red as ruby.

“hi!”

It was Liu Sina Blood Walker.

* * *

If you think about it a little, it wasn’t that difficult.

This is what the trial assistant said as soon as I entered the trial on the second floor.

-Join forces with other participants to take down two boss monsters.

-The types of monsters are random.

-Points are awarded differently depending on contribution and ability to deal with special situations.

And the most important last word.

-The ordeal begins right away.

The key clue was already contained in these words.

The ordeal on the second floor is killing the boss monster.

And the fact that the ordeal began immediately meant that the situation in which such a monster had to be killed was immediately created.

And yet, the fact that the only people in this cavity right now were the participants meant only one thing.

‘It means there is a boss monster disguised as a participant.’

Although they are commonly referred to collectively as monsters or monsters, the species of monsters that exist on the continent are so diverse that it is impossible to count them, and their abilities also vary widely.

Therefore, it was possible for monsters like demons to disguise themselves as humans to exist.

Once Shion figured that out, the next thing he did was to figure out who the disguised monster was while the others fought for control.

‘The person who created this ordeal seems to want us to understand the monster’s unique behavior and way of thinking, which are slightly different from humans… … .’

For Zion, there was another method other than the one that was so time-consuming.

It was an ordeal assistant.

Everyone who enters the tower is assigned an ordeal assistant.

However, there was no way a helper could be attached to a non-human monster.

In other words, a person without a trial helper is a monster.

There was no way for a normal person to notice it, but for Shion, it existed.

‘Frost Spirit.’

Is it because they were both created spirits rather than naturally occurring?

The frost spirit reacted sensitively to the ordeal assistant from the moment it entered the Tower of Human Beings, and thanks to that, it was able to recognize its presence.

And that’s what I found out,

Wow!

It was Deila, the priest of the earth that Zion had now divided into Gigaperses.

dump!

Deila’s body falls to the ground, split in exactly two halves.

There is a moment of silence as I see a scene that I cannot understand.

and,

“what… … “What is this crazy bastard doing now?”

Deshaun, who was right next to Deila, spewed out profanity and distanced himself from Zion.

At the same time, enormous power began to radiate from his entire body, which was on high alert.

Other people were no different.

Sreung!

The fairy swordsman aims his long sword towards Sion and Rain pulls out the spear slung on his back.

Among them, Rain, who had known Shion for a long time, seemed more embarrassed than the others.

‘Why are you suddenly doing this!’

It was a completely unexpected action.

Was he really as crazy as that shaman said?

at that time,

“It’s so tough, I cut it in half on purpose to kill it all at once.”

A sound like clicking his tongue came out from the mouth of Zion, who was still looking at Deila’s torn body as if he didn’t care about the boundaries of those people.

It was a moment when doubt appeared in other people’s eyes at those unknown words.

Knock knock!

With a strange sound, the body that had been split in two came together, bubbling, and began to change into another form.

Newly sprouting heads, arms, and legs.

In the place where all the changes had ended, a muscular man who looked completely different from Priest Deila was standing with a blank expression.

“Uh, that is!”

A voice of astonishment came out of DeShawn’s mouth when he saw that.

“Replicant! “Why is the clone here?”

A top-level monster that can be found very rarely in the remote areas of the south where he operates.

Cloned ghosts are normally no different from humans, but they emit a unique energy in a very brief moment when they change shape.

Because Deshaun had once been attacked by that monster and lost his entire group, I was able to recognize its energy right away.

“If it’s a clone… … monster? No way from the beginning!”

Only then did Rain and the fairy swordsman point the tip of their weapon towards the clone, as if they had grasped the entire situation.

And at that moment,

Paaaaang!

With the sound of air exploding, the clone’s figure disappeared on the spot.

The place where the clone ghost appeared again was right in front of Deshaun.

A clone demon perfectly replicates the abilities of the creatures it kills.

And this time, the abilities cloned by the clone demon were all those of the transcendent warrior who dominated the past era.

Whoops!

A terrifying shock wave explodes as the clone’s fist thrusts forward.

“Wow!”

Despite reacting in that brief moment and deploying several layers of protection, DeShawn’s new model was thrown backwards.

A clone ghost follows immediately to finish off such a shaman.

However, the clone’s new form could not reach Deshaun.

Previously,

“Where!”

Rain’s spear and fairy sword swung from both sides aimed precisely at the vital point.

Kwakagagak!

Just before the attacks of the two struck, a sword-like energy exploded from the clone’s entire body, which spun in the air like a top to throw them away.

Damn it!

‘You’re stronger than you think!’

Lane’s eyes wavered as he retreated backwards and swatted away those energies.

I never expected that the monster of the ordeal, which was only on the second floor, would have this level of power.

‘No matter how much the monster’s level reflects the participants’ strength to a certain extent… … .’

Even so, there was a big difference from the level I heard from the warrior.

In fact, it was still possible to kill it, but the problem was that it might take time.

‘We need to break through quickly.’

If you take a long time here, it is natural that the score you can receive will be lower.

Squeeze!

At the moment, even stronger brain energy exploded from Lane’s entire body as he became impatient, encroaching on the surroundings.

Crack!

The body of the clone that was rushing towards her and the fairy swordsman seemed to be bent at an angle that no human would be able to return to, and then it struck!

It went off in a completely different direction.

The speed is so incredible that even Lane misses it momentarily.

The destination for such a clone was Deshaun, who was just getting back together.

“… … !”

The shaman’s eyes were wide open, unable to react properly, as he had not yet fully recovered from the shock of the clash that had occurred a moment ago.

‘late!’

Lane’s eyes, following him, are colored with urgency.

“Khihihihi!”

Finally, it was the moment when the fist of the clone demon bursting into madness was fired to explode Deshaun’s head.

“Let’s finish it quickly and move on.”

A drowsy voice that doesn’t suit the situation at all.

“Kkihi… … ?”

At that voice, I thought a vertical solid line was drawn from the top of the clone’s head to its groin with questioning eyes, and then, wow!

It split into two parts once again.

Behind him, there was Shion, with a black chain wrapped around one hand and an indifferent expression.

Soon, with a crunching sound, the stretched out chain of Zion was embedded in the clone’s torn body.

Kwagwagwagwagwang!

Then, in a terrifying explosion, the clone’s body began to be torn apart without leaving a trace.

The roots were completely uprooted to prevent it from regenerating like before.

“How could it be so easy…” … .”

When a dazed voice came out of the mouth of the fairy swordsman who saw this, – you defeated the ‘Copycat Lord’. Quick kills award 2 additional points.

The voice of the ordeal assistant rang in his and other people’s ears.

-You handled the special situation perfectly. An additional 10 points are awarded.

And another voice that only rings in Zion.

It seems that the ‘special situation’ I mentioned at first was not a conflict between characters, but a clone of a ghost hiding by turning into a participant.

‘It was almost really dangerous.’

After the situation ended, Lane, who was looking at the spot where the clone demon’s body was, swallowed his saliva.

If they had entered the boss room without realizing that there were monsters among the participants, they could have been annihilated by attacks coming from behind.

‘Maybe that was what he was aiming for when he disguised himself as a priest.’

Usually, during a battle, the priest’s position was at the very back.

Rubbing the back of his neck, which made him cringe just thinking about it, Raine looked at the Zeon harness that had solved all of this.

“how… … .”

How on earth did they find out?

Even Raine himself, who had some knowledge about the Tower of Human Beings, never even thought that there would be monsters among them, let alone recognizing that the priest was a clone demon.

“… … .”

Other people were also looking at Zion with trembling eyes, probably thinking the same thing as her.

Incredible reasoning and judgment skills.

‘And the determination to execute it all at once.’

If it had been him, even if he had figured out that the priest was a monster, would he have been able to kill him without hesitation?

I probably couldn’t use my hands properly until I was sure.

But what surprised Raine the most was none other than the power of the Zeon harness.

‘It was only a moment, but to deal with three clones at the same time so easily… … .’

Even if it was a surprise attack, it was absolutely impossible without a certain level of skill.

It’s literally a force that makes you feel wary.

The man’s strength and abilities were impressive when I first saw them, but they couldn’t even compare to what I see now.

‘Plus, the atmosphere has completely changed as well.’

In the past, Zeon Harness felt like an observer watching from behind without stepping forward, but now he was taking control and leading the situation.

What on earth happened in such a short period of time, less than a year?

‘If not… … .’

Is this my true self now and was I hiding this back then?

A feeling of suffocating pressure that can be felt even when you are standing still and not saying anything.

As a result, people’s eyes naturally focus on Zion in the quiet community.

It looks like it’s waiting for instructions.

How much time has passed like that?

“Let’s go right in.”

Shion, who was looking at the place where the clone ghost disappeared for a moment, said those words and turned towards the boss room on one side.

People who begin to follow Zion as if possessed.

In the eyes of those people, unlike before, there was no dissatisfaction whatsoever.
