Chapter 48 Floating City (1)

A terrace at the top of Chimseong Palace.

There, Zion was looking up at the pitch-black night sky and the stars shining softly within it.

slowly.

Zion’s hand reaches out to the stars.

Following that hand, a darkness darker than that of a naturally occurring night begins to spread into the sky.

And when the spreading darkness reached its peak, crack!

Zion tightly grasped his wide open hand.

At that moment, the darkness that had been spreading around Zion’s hand condensed in an instant.

When viewed from below, it looked as if the darkness of Zion had swallowed up a star in the sky.

with him,

Slur-

Black stars begin to rise in the night sky around you.

The moment those black stars went from five to six, they stopped increasing.

“Is the 6th star still there?”

There was a faint hint of regret in Zion’s eyes as he gathered the stars again while chanting like that.

The more battles you fight and the more powerful enemies you fight, the faster the Black Star grows.

Therefore, Sion thought that he would be able to rise to the next level if he could fight the remnants of the ‘Evil-stained Frost Queen’, who was stronger than him, and the Six Claws, who had similar powers.

However, Zion’s current state remained at the end of the Five Stars under the Black Star.

This alone was beyond shocking and unbelievable to others, but it did not meet Zion’s expectations.

‘Probably both battles depended on the power of Divine Power rather than the Black Star.’

I felt like I should refrain from overusing my divine power.

‘Actually, I can’t abuse it.’

Because the power consumed was beyond imagination.

With that, Shion concluded his thoughts about the Black Star and the Holy Spirit and then thought about the group of warriors who left a few days ago.

‘We should have reached the border of the Demon Station by now.’

Normally, it would have already been enough time to get inside, but it was delayed a bit due to the conditions that the warrior Claire Plosimar had put forward in exchange for heading to the Demon Station.

There was only one condition.

I want you to help me head to the demon area with all my friends from before returning.

Since it was not a particularly difficult task for Zion, he immediately contacted Tyran and Elesis and had them join the warrior group.

At best, it could have seemed like he was sending the two he had brought in to the hero, but Shion didn’t think that way.

‘After all, after returning from Demon Station, they will all come under my control.’

In fact, it was correct to say that it was already half way down.

In addition, at this time, it was much more advantageous for growth to be by the hero’s side than to be with Shion himself.

Because the fate of salvation possessed by heroes will elevate them to a higher level.

‘This will be enough to delay the great war, so what we have to do now is…’ … .’

As Zion looked up at the night sky while thinking about that, a strange sight suddenly appeared in his eyes.

“It’s coming just in time.”

What was reflected in Zion’s eyes was a huge city.

A city floating in the sky, not on the ground, slowly approaching the capital, blocking part of the moon.

The floating city of Adegripa.

It was the only floating city that existed in this world and was where Zion was headed from now on.

* * *

Where in the world has the highest level of magic?

When asked about it, people point to two places.

First of all, there is the magic society Rebrion that exists in Hubris, the capital of the empire.

This place collected only the essence of the knowledge of all the magic towers that existed within the empire, and was called a kind of sacred place among magicians.

And the second was the floating city of Adegripa.

This city, created by several dragons about two hundred years ago, had a different character from Lebrion.

If Lebrion was a sacred place only for human wizards, Adegrippa was a place where the highest-ranking wizards from all races in the world gathered.

In some ways, it is safe to consider it to be a higher level place.

In addition, although it was called a city, it could also be considered a magic tower as 99% of the people staying there were wizards.

And now in front of the gates of such a floating city,

“I think it’s time to come… … .”

A wizard in the shape of a dragon man was waiting for someone with numerous attendants.

His name is Archendelt.

He was the deputy mayor of the floating city and the highest-ranking wizard in the city, ranked 9th in the magic hierarchy.

The reason why Archendelt was leading the wizards and standing in front of the gate connected to the outside of the city was because of exchanges with the Imperial Magic Society that took place every three years.

Even if only the best wizards gather together, stagnant water will eventually rot.

Therefore, the floating city considered such exchanges very important and encouraged them.

The reason why Adegripa, who does not stay in one place but wanders the skies around the world, bothers to come to the capital of the empire and stay for a few days.

“It is said that this imperial delegation includes Ahamad Ozrima, who is said to be the greatest wizard among humans… … “Is that true?”

“It’s true. “That’s why I came out to welcome the delegation.”

Archendelt nodded and answered the question of the dog-headed wizard next to him.

It was unclear what kind of whim the person who had been hiding in the university’s magic tower and not showing up for so long was acting on, but from this point of view, it could be said to be good news.

“I’m looking forward to it. I hope we can gain a lot from each other… … But are they really coming together? that… … .”

“You mean Prince Zion Agnes?”

“That’s right.”

“You said you accepted the invitation, so wouldn’t you say so?”

The deputy mayor answers with an equally strange expression when asked by an attendant with a strange expression.

There was a reason for these two reactions.

For decades, the imperial family had not visited Adegripa even once.

Ever since one of the dragons that created the city two hundred years ago made a contract with the emperor of the time and was granted autonomy, an invisible conflict has existed between the Agnes family and the floating city.

Therefore, even though a separate invitation was sent to the imperial castle every time an exchange took place, there was no case where it was accepted.

“It’s a big deal. Isn’t this almost the first time? “The royal family of the Agnes Empire is coming here.”

“That’s right. Aren’t they the ones who barely show their faces until we go to the imperial castle?”

“But what kind of person is Prince Sion Agnes? “I heard that he is the closest royal to the next emperor due to his tremendous military power and deep inner world.”

“hmm… … .”

Archendelt, who furrowed his eyebrows for a moment as if remembering something at the training wizard’s words, continued.

“Honestly, I have a hard time believing that.”

He could not believe not only those words, but also all the rumors that had been heard about Prince Sion recently.

Prince Sion, whom Archendelt himself saw in the imperial castle five years ago, did not match any of those rumors.

“The prince I saw was infinitely weak and infinitely soft. He had no interest in the throne and did not fit in. And that temperament could never be changed.”

Therefore, Archendelt honestly thought that if a fight for the throne broke out, Prince Sion would be the first to die.

But Prince Sion not only killed other members of the royal family, but he is also being called the next emperor.

It would have been easier to believe that the world would end tomorrow.

“Huh, really? It’s really strange for Archendelt to say that. Surely then… … .”

It was before the attendant, who had a puzzled expression on his face, finished speaking.

Paaaaat!

Suddenly, a brilliant light burst from the gate, which had been unresponsive for so long.

“It looks like the delegation is finally here!”

It was the moment when another training wizard let out an expectant voice while looking at that scene.

In the light, wizards wearing robes embroidered with patterns symbolizing the Agnes Empire began to appear one by one.

From the highest-ranking wizards representing each magic tower to new wizards who are said to be promising leaders of the next generation.

“The level of this exchange meeting seems to be quite high.”

When Archendelt looked satisfied while assessing the skills of the empire’s wizards,

“Hehe, it’s been a while since I’ve been here.”

An impressive old man with long pure white hair and beard, and kind eyes, walked out of the light.

A gentle smile on the old man’s lips.

‘Ahamad Ozrimah.’

Even though he had never seen the old man before, Archendelt knew that the old man was a ‘wizard of contempt’ the moment he saw him.

Unlike other wizards, the old man’s level could not be understood at all even with his ‘half-dragon eye’.

In addition, the magical power flowing from such an old man was naturally taking over the surrounding space.

‘As expected, one of the ‘Seven Heavens’ is different?’

The deputy mayor, who looked even more expectant, was about to walk up to greet Ahmad.

Jerk.

The sound of a single step reached his ear.

The sound of footsteps that is so small that it cannot be heard unless you listen carefully, yet it ominously stimulates deep within the listener’s heart.

At the same time, as if they had made a promise, the eyes of everyone there, including Archendelt, began to turn towards the gate where the footsteps were heard.

And there,

Jerk.

there he was

A man with pure white skin and drowsy eyes, wearing the uniform symbolizing the Agnes family.

Zion Agnes.

Jerk, jerk.

The existence of other people, including Ahmad, was forgotten in the minds of the people who watched as if fascinated by the figure of Zion slowly walking out of the gate.

Because the alien presence flowing from Zion was already filling their minds.

‘Those rumors… … Was it true?’

No, looking at what I felt now, I even thought that the rumor had been reduced.

The pressure is truly beyond imagination.

‘How can people change so much?’

Archendelt’s eyes shook mercilessly.

Is it really true that the man in front of him is the same Prince Zion he saw before?

Although they looked the same, I felt like I would trust them even if they were completely different people.

“… … .”

Shion suddenly approached Archendelt and looked at him blankly.

“Si, meet Her Royal Highness Princess Agnes of Sion!”

Only then did the deputy mayor come to his senses and hastily bowed his head towards Zion.

Was his shouting a signal?

“Meet Her Royal Highness Princess Zion Agnes!”

Next, the practicing wizards of Archendelt also bowed their heads towards Sion and greeted him.

Shion slowly scans these people as if looking for someone.

Soon, from the mouth of Zion,

“Let me first get a guide to the city.”

A voice came out so low that it felt boring.

* * *

“This is a complex where the labs of manipulation wizards are gathered, and the name is…” … .”

Archendelt, the deputy mayor of the floating city, who accompanied the delegation, claiming to personally guide them as to what wind was blowing,

“Isn’t it truly amazing, Your Highness? “How can a city run so well even though there are only wizards?”

With the words of Ahmad, who was walking right next to him, in one ear, Zion thought about what he had to do here.

A total of two events occur here in the floating city.

The first is the fall of the floating city.

The second is the assassination of a person.

‘If you think about the future, the second incident is more important… … .’

If I had to choose the more urgent one, it would be the first incident, the fall of the floating city.

It was exactly three days from now when the floating city crashed onto the capital city of Hubris.

A catastrophe of such magnitude that it is almost comparable to the ‘frozen night.’

Of course, Zion had already figured out how to prevent it.

‘Let’s just find out the location first.’

When Zion thought this as he looked closely at one of the places he was guided to,

“Today’s schedule will end with just a city tour, and the actual exchange meeting will begin tomorrow.”

Archendelt, who was still glancing at Sion with disbelief, opened his mouth.

“In addition, the ‘Magic Proxy Battle’, which is called the flower of exchange meetings, will also be held. Perhaps your Majesty will find it interesting as well. Would you like to observe it together?”

“I don’t think I’ll be able to observe.”

Shion smiled slightly and answered.

“Do you have any other plans?”

“Because you have to participate, not observe.”

The first step to prevent Adegrippa’s fall.

“yes? What does that mean… … .”

“I… … “Vice Mayor.”

Next to Archendelt, who was questioning Shion’s words, one of the attendants held out a piece of paper with a special magic coating with a strange expression on his face.

“What is this?”

“This is a list of wizards from the Empire and Floating City side who will participate in tomorrow’s ‘Magic Proxy War.’

“Why is this suddenly… … !”

The deputy mayor’s eyes began to widen as he scanned the list he had received with eyes still filled with doubt.

Zion Agnes.

It was the name written at the end of the list of magicians on the Empire’s side.

“Is it true that Your Highness is also participating in the proxy war?”

“Is there any way it can’t be done?”

“That’s not it… … .”

Contrary to his words, Archendelt’s eyes were full of distrust and doubt.

Regardless of the level of power he possessed, Prince Sion was not a wizard.

‘What on earth are you thinking? I would probably lose without even being able to fight properly anyway. And why did the empire agree to it?’

Questions continue to grow, one after another, endlessly.

But the next day, his question was,

Quad deud deuk!

Everything turned into shock.
