I became the youngest prince in the novel Episode 186

Chapter 48 Floating City (3)

The city hall is the highest decision-making body of the floating city of Adegripa.

The deputy mayor’s office at City Hall was brightly lit even after midnight.

And inside the vice mayor’s office, Archendelt was looking out the window with complicated eyes.

“I really don’t know.”

The voice that flowed out, as if expressing his state of mind, was full of confusion.

The person who confused him like this was none other than Prince Sion Agnes, who lived alone in the huge mansion visible from the window.

“What on earth is that power?”

With that muttering, Archendelt recalled the proxy battle of Prince Sion that he had seen earlier.

Even thinking back on the scene where Grimmel’s magic disappeared without a trace as soon as it touched Prince Sion’s power, I still got goosebumps.

‘It was definitely a strength I had never seen before.’

Is this the hidden power of the Agnes royal family?

Or, I denied it because I couldn’t feel any flow of mana at the time, but it was also possible that it was a new type of magic that no one had discovered before.

A truly veiled ability.

However, there was another reason why Archendelt looked at the mansion where Prince Sion was staying with such complicated eyes.

“Those last words and gestures… … “It was clearly a signal to ‘us.’”

The ‘we’ he speaks of here does not refer to the city hall he belongs to or any other official wizarding organization.

An organization that was created when this floating city was created and is secretly protecting the city.

Archendelt was a member of that organization and was therefore able to recognize Prince Sion’s signals.

“The question is, how does Prince Shion know that signal?”

It was a signal that could only be known if one became a member of the organization he belonged to.

However, I couldn’t understand how Prince Sion, who had no contact whatsoever, knew about that signal.

‘If not, is it really the ‘shadow’ side?’

Archendelt, who had been thinking that far, shook his head.

Because it was too much of a leap.

at that time.

‘Still, I need to discuss it with my superiors…’ … hmm?’

A strange sight came into his eyes.

A group of people infiltrate the mansion where Prince Shion is staying.

The movement was so stealthy and fast that even Archendelt wouldn’t have noticed it if he wasn’t constantly looking in that direction.

“Those guys… … !”

Archendelt’s eyes began to fluctuate.

Soon after.

“His Majesty Zion is in danger! “Prepare the troops immediately!”

An urgent cry came from his mouth as he stormed out of the vice mayor’s office.

* * *

A group of people were moving quickly in the dark.

Even though the number of people was close to twenty, there was no sound at all.

The reason was simple.

All kinds of blocking magic, such as blocking presence, blocking sound, and blocking vision, were applied to them.

And the level of such blocking magic was so high and secret that even the same wizard could not notice it at all.

Sreuk.

Without making any noise, the group that suffocates the guards guarding the front of the mansion quickly enters the inside.

“I go up and look through everything. “Kill everyone in the mansion, including Prince Shion.”

At the same time, a chilling voice flows from the mouth of a man who appears to be the leader.

Following those words, the scattered assassins begin heading to the upper floor, eliminating all the guard wizards they encounter.

Nevertheless, the scene where no sound was still heard was very strange, and at the same time it showed how outstanding their skills were.

Some of the assassins who reached the top floor of the mansion in less than five minutes opened the last remaining door without hesitation.

What catches their eyes is a large bed and a blanket rising above the bed.

Sugagagak!

Since they had to erase all life in the mansion anyway, the assassins did not make any special checks and immediately fired cutting magic at the bed.

The bed splits into dozens of pieces due to the magic.

However, on that bed, the severed body parts did not protrude and blood did not gush out.

Because there was no one lying in the bed from the beginning.

‘If it’s not here, where… … .’

It was a moment of doubt in the eyes of the assassins as they knew that this was the only room left.

“I was wondering where you would come first.”

With a low voice coming from behind them.

Pow!

The head of one of the assassins was missing.

“Was it this way?”

Darkness shimmers behind the corpse of the assassin, who falls down with his head missing.

A man emerges from such darkness.

It was Zion.

Shion’s eyes were wide as if he already knew the identity of the assassins who attacked the mansion.

‘Shadow Curtain.’

There were two secret societies in this floating city.

‘Watcher of Light’ who protects the city from the dark.

And then there are the ‘Watchers of Light’ and the ‘Shadow Nest’ who want to overthrow the entire city.

The reason why Sion bothered to participate in the magic proxy war was to attract the attention of these two secret organizations.

Because there was nothing that could be as unconventional and attract people’s attention as participating in a proxy war.

Therefore, when the battle was over and people’s concentration reached its peak, Zion sent a signal that only they could recognize, and the first to respond was ‘Shadow Nest’.

‘I knew there was no limit, but I didn’t know they would try to kill me so thoroughly.’

Are they not thinking about the repercussions of the assassination of the royal family?

‘No, I know, but it would be correct to say that I don’t care.’

Thinking like that, Shion turned his head towards the other assassins.

“The target can nullify magic. “React as you have prepared.”

With the words of a person who appeared to be a superior, the assassins present took out the weapons they had prepared from their pockets.

A magic gun with dozens of magic treatments, including noise magic, strengthening magic, speed magic, and accuracy magic.

“Did you think I couldn’t nullify the enchanted object?”

Sion looked with interest at the magic guns pointed at him.

“Well, that’s true, but… … .”

Shoo shoo shoot!

Due to the noise magic, the guns fire with minimal sound.

It was the moment when the magic bullets fired from him instantly broke the speed of sound and reached right in front of Zion.

“That doesn’t mean your attacks can reach me.”

One step.

With Zion’s light steps forward.

Tukwaaaaang!

The wave that exploded from beneath Zion’s feet shattered all the magic bullets that were being fired.

As if that wasn’t enough, the shock waves that continued to spread created spider web-like cracks on the walls on all sides.

The moment when the emotions of agitation appeared for the first time in the eyes of the assassins who were looking at him.

Phew!

Zion’s new form, which disappeared on the spot, appeared in front of the nearest assassin.

Still, does this mean he is a top-level assassin with extreme training?

The assassin reacted by casting a speed spell on his body to widen the distance and at the same time pulled the trigger of the gun aimed at Sion.

However, magic bullets were not fired from such firearms.

Much faster than that.

Quack!

Because Shion’s outstretched hand grabbed the barrel of the gun and crushed it.

As a result, Shion threw the gun, which had become a lump of scrap metal, to the side and dug in even further, thrusting out his other fist.

“… … !”

In order to block Zion’s blow, the assassin quickly deployed several layers of defensive magic.

Damn it!

Shion’s fist smashed them so easily that even the assassin’s head exploded.

Zion’s new type, which shoots straight at another assassin before the headless body of the assassin stumbles and falls to the floor.

“Start by weakening!”

Rather, various debuff magics began to unfold towards Zion along with the cries of the leader assassin, who became desperate in a situation where they felt like they were being hunted.

Increased weight, slowness, blindness, paralysis, etc.

The speed of Zion gradually slows down as if such magic is working.

When the wizards, whose eyes lit up at him, quickly aimed their guns.

Kyaaaaaaaaa!

With a sound like a deafening sound, darkness covered Zion’s entire body in an instant, extinguishing all debuff magic.

It was a mangap.

Doo doo doo!

Zion’s new form, which dodged all the magical bullets pouring in with him by looking at the direction of the gun, moves as if disappearing and arrives in front of the next target, the assassin.

Quad deuk!

An assassin who gives up his life without even being able to properly react to Shion’s movements, which are much faster than before.

Shion, who had taken out two other assassins around him at once, looked at the last remaining leader assassin in the room.

“how… … .”

The battle itself cannot be established.

As if he had already lost his will due to the overwhelming appearance, the assassin took a step back and let out a stupid voice.

Kwasik!

Shion smashed the assassin’s head without hesitation and immediately opened the door and went outside.

As soon as I stepped outside, what I saw were numerous other assassins coming towards me.

“It reminds me of the old days.”

Shion grinned while looking at them.

This is because this current structure is similar to when Zion himself was first attacked at Chimseong Palace.

Of course, the enemies now were much stronger than then, but it didn’t matter.

Shion himself had also become stronger than before.

‘It would be better to leave at least one person alive.’

As Shion thought so, darkness began to stir throughout his body.

* * *

“Hurry!”

An urgent voice came out from the mouth of Archendelt, who was moving at almost full speed with the ‘3rd Guardian Battalion’, the force that could move right now.

Usually, he was so diligent in maintaining his dignity that he rarely showed himself running or rushing, but he had no time to worry about such things now.

‘It must be stopped. No matter what happens, we must prevent Prince Sion from dying!’

What would happen if a member of the royal family who participated as an envoy to the exchange meeting, and one of the members of the royal family closest to the next emperor, was assassinated within the floating city?

The empire would certainly be held responsible, and it could have escalated into war.

‘I was foolish. ‘I should have paid more attention to security there!’

Why didn’t I think of it?

In a way, it was natural that ‘Shadow Nest’, which was always intent on destroying the floating city, would target Prince Zion.

“Please just hold on until we arrive, Your Majesty.”

With those wind-like words, Archendelt increased his speed even further.

Of course, he had heard all too well that Prince Sion’s military power was very outstanding.

And I also witnessed some of that power during the proxy war.

But I still didn’t feel reassured.

The assassination abilities of the ‘Assassination Wizards’ trained directly at ‘Shadow Nest’ were truly beyond imagination.

In the past, even though it wasn’t a direct confrontation, there was a record of even the 5th ranked magician being killed by them.

Therefore, his anxiety could not help but increase.

“please… … .”

Still, does this mean that it is a blessing in disguise?

The mansion where Prince Sion was staying was not far from the city hall, so Archendelt was soon able to arrive in front of the main gate of the mansion.

Originally, I had to use search magic to look inside in advance, but it looks like I don’t even have time to do that.

“Your Highness Zion!!!”

bang!

Archendelt broke the closed front door and went straight inside.

And that moment.

“… … uh?”

His eyes turned blank.

A large hall visible as soon as you enter.

There were already countless corpses strewn about in those halls.

It wasn’t the corpses of the guards guarding the mansion.

Assassins from ‘Shadow Nest’ who infiltrated the mansion a little while ago.

All of those assassins were lying haphazardly in the hall with their heads or hearts missing.

At that completely unexpected sight, silence flowed between Archendelt and the guardian battalion that followed behind.

at that time.

Come on! Come on!

Breaking the silence, someone appeared from the darkness at the back of the hall.

An assassin coming towards us, forcibly dragging one leg that was not moving.

One of the assassin’s eyes had already disappeared, and the other eye was filled with great fear.

As if I had witnessed a nightmare that I could never escape.

“… … “Save me.”

As if he had already lost the sense of reason to judge the situation, the assassin was pleading as he approached Archendelt, who was no different from his enemy.

In a completely incomprehensible situation, Archendelt stares blankly at the assassin.

“Please save me… … !”

Meanwhile, it was the moment when the assassin finally reached right in front of him and stretched out his hand towards him.

Kwasik!

Something came out of the darkness behind, bit the assassin’s head, and disappeared into the darkness again.

Soon after.

Quack, quack, quack!

The most eerie sound that comes out of it.

How long did that sound last?

With the sound of finally stopping.

Jeopuk, Jeopuk

Slowly, a figure emerged from the darkness.

“It’s a little late.”

The man is smiling whitely at Archendelt and the Guardian Battalion, who are still looking at him with a mesmerized face.

It was Zion.
