I became the youngest prince in the novel Episode 187

Chapter 48 Floating City (4)

A desert area located in the northwest of Majeok.

“Why on earth are the humans here… … !”

“Why are you doing this again after you entered the empire?”

Quad deuk!

“Gagging!”

Rayne smiled slightly and stabbed the spear, instantly piercing the core of the demon that was spitting out doubts.

Unlike the Empire, the corpse of a demon does not disappear even after it dies.

“Everything has to be dealt with. “Because we don’t want our existence to be known.”

Quaaaang!

Next to Raine, who was casually shaking off the corpses, Turzan, who had smashed the heads of two demons with a single punch, spoke in a blunt tone.

at that time,

“Hey, over there! “There’s a guy running away!”

Elesis, who was assisting the group from behind, pointed at a demon running away with his back turned and shouted urgently.

This was because the demon’s new form was already so far away that it could be seen as a dot.

“it’s okay. Because I already wrote her hand.”

However, Tyran’s expression as he said that while looking at the same place as her was as calm as the first time.

And at that moment,

Tukwaaaaang!

The fleeing demon was literally destroyed by something transparent that fell from above without even leaving a trace.

“Oh, that’s pretty cool, wizard? “If only I could fix that pretense and laziness, it would be perfect, right?”

Lane whistles as he sees this,

“It’s Tyran, not the wizard. And this laziness is my greatest charm.”

Tyran answers him shamelessly.

Claire smiled faintly as she looked at the group.

Although there was still some awkwardness between us, we were getting closer faster than she thought.

‘Honestly, I didn’t expect that we would get together like this right away.’

In fact, Claire was honestly doubtful when she asked Prince Shion for a favor.

Because I had already been rejected by both Tyran Friharden and Elesis Desire once.

However, as if denying that very thought, Prince Sion naturally allowed the two to join his group with just one word.

As if all the hard work he had done so far was in vain.

‘A truly unknown person… … .’

Its purpose, power, and identity.

“But Claire, can you really just entrust the work in the floating city to Prince Sion? If you say it right, it might be difficult… … .”

At that time, Lane came next to Claire and asked in a concerned tone.

She had already fully felt Prince Sion’s overwhelming power at the Tower of Causality and the Plant, but there was still reason to be so worried.

‘Because the enemy we have to deal with is that strong.’

Seven heavens.

A term used to refer to the seven strongest men in the world.

However, from the beginning, ‘Seven Heavens’ consisted only of similar races such as humans, fairies, and giants, and among them, characters who showed appropriate performance.

So, in other words, there were also sky-level strongmen who were not part of the ‘seven heavens’, and the place where such people were most likely to be located was the floating city.

‘Especially the first and second ranked floating cities… … .’

In order to prevent the city from falling, these are the beings that must be directly encountered or collided with.

They were beings who were looking for an opportunity to go beyond the sky and escape the cycle of reincarnation.

The decisive reason why floating cities were able to receive recognition of their autonomy from the empire.

Therefore, it was true that no matter how much he was Prince Sion, he could not feel at ease.

‘I don’t know if the ‘Annihilator’ I saw in the old Le Zero will help me… … .’

Claire shook her head and immediately dismissed that thought.

Because it was a useless assumption.

“I have no choice but to believe it first.”

The hero responds to Lane and then begins to walk slowly.

At the end of the warrior’s field of vision, the destination of this journey, the ‘Tomb of Sorrows’, was slowly revealing itself.

* * *

Is the world about to be destroyed?

A view filled with darkness, as if the sun never rose, and a mountain of corpses piled up layer upon layer everywhere the view could reach.

Due to the miasma of decay flowing from the mountain of corpses, the atmosphere and space are torn apart, and the world itself is collapsing.

and,

-I should have been your despair.

At the center of the mountains piled up like that, a ‘being’ was spitting out words.

-No, it had to be the despair of this world.

As the saying goes, the demonic energy flowing from the ‘being’ was transcendent enough to bring despair to the world, and the very structure of the world was shaking with every word uttered, but the state of such a ‘being’ did not seem to be very good.

-But why?

My body was already so damaged that I couldn’t fight, and the foundation that maintained my existence was also shaking.

-But why did you become my despair?

A man stood quietly in front of the ‘being’ who spoke like that.

Pure white skin contrasting with the black uniform that seemed to absorb all the light in existence.

The man, who gave off an ominous and alien feeling, as if he did not belong to this world, was looking down at ‘existence’ with bored eyes.

Although no energy was flowing from such a man, the eyes of the ‘being’ looking at the man were constantly trembling.

Because he knew that the darkness that covered his vision, no, the entire world, belonged to that man.

The fate of this world was already determined to be destroyed, and ‘Existence’ was the executor of that fate.

But the existence of that man was not only shaking that fate, it was destroying it.

Incomprehensible.

I was able to be certain that ‘existence’ was a word that existed for that man.

-It’s a pity. If I had been given a little more time, the fate of destruction would have been perfectly ripe… … .

A ‘being’ who looks at the man slowly approaching towards him and lets out a lament mixed with deep despair and regret.

at that time,

“Hey.”

The man who came right in front of such a ‘being’,

“The fate of destruction… … “When will it be ripe?”

He opened his mouth with a very ominous smile.

* * *

“… … “Is this a dream?”

These were the first words that came out of Zion’s mouth as he woke up in the morning sunlight.

It’s been a long time, no, it’s a dream that can be said to be the first.

But Shion knew that what he just had was not just a dream.

‘I guess it’s one of the things that happened after I inhabited this body… … .’

The reason for thinking so was simple.

One of the two beings that appeared in the dream a little while ago was me before I was possessed by Sion Agnes’ body.

In addition, since I had no memory of that scene at all, it was not difficult to figure out that it was something that happened in the past after being possessed.

Was it possible to get a glimpse as the level of the Black Star increased?

The exact reason was not known.

However, there was something else that really got Zion on his nerves.

‘Obviously I was trying to keep him alive.’

It was Zion’s nature to completely pull out the roots of enemies who exposed themselves to him.

But why did he say that?

Although it wasn’t visible on the outside, was he also in an emergency situation?

Or was there another reason?

‘I don’t know.’

There was no way to know more at the moment, so it was time for Shion to give up thinking about him.

“Your Highness Zion, did you cough?”

Archendelt’s voice came from outside the bedroom.

“come in.”

Shion answers as he gets up from the bed.

After hearing those words, Shion immediately asked Yongin, who came inside.

“What’s going on?”

Even if the attack had occurred last night, there was no reason for the deputy mayor of the floating city to come here so early since it had already been cleaned up.

Except for one thing.

“… … “Do you know about the lights and shadows that exist in the floating city?”

Archendelt, who looked at Sion with complicated eyes for a moment, immediately got to the point.

“If I didn’t know, I wouldn’t have sent the signal yesterday.”

‘also… … .’ The deputy mayor closed his mouth once more in response to Zion’s answer, gathered his thoughts, and continued.

“As you may have guessed, I belong to one of two organizations, the ‘Watchers of Light.’ And the place where His Highness was attacked yesterday is the ‘Shadow Nest’.”

“so?”

“I would like to invite you to become the ‘Watcher of Light.’ Do you want to accept it?”

Shion laughed inwardly at Archendelt’s words.

Because I finally reached out to connect with myself where I wanted to be.

“Guide me.”

So there was no reason to refuse.

“Then we will leave right away. Please do not reject the power.”

Soon after, when Sion finished preparing, Archendelt came to Sion’s side.

His actions of moving to the side instead of leading the way out of the mansion were incomprehensible, but the reason was soon revealed.

-???????

Archendelt chants a spell that cannot be pronounced with human vocal cords.

That moment,

Whoa!

It seemed as if a large magic circle filled with very complex-looking letters appeared beneath Shion and his feet, and then, wow!

Just like that, the two new models disappeared from the spot.

Along with that, the light flickers before Zion’s eyes.

How much time has passed like that?

The sight seen through Zion’s vision, which came back with the disappearing light, was completely different from just now.

The interior is like a temple.

And inside, countless beings were busily moving around, looking for things to do.

Such beings were completely different in appearance from races such as beastmen, fairies, and goblins, but they all had one thing in common.

They are all wearing white robes with golden cloud patterns engraved on them.

When their eyes begin to focus on the newly revealed Zion,

“The ‘Watcher of Light’ does not have a separate entrance to maintain secrecy. Therefore, access is only possible through space movement using a special order. Then this way.”

Archendelt took the lead and began guiding Zion somewhere.

“Originally, we should take you to the reception room after a brief verification, but since there is someone who wants to meet His Majesty, I will guide you there first.”

Although it was a short speech, there was a lot of information that could be obtained from it.

There is a being who wants to meet Sion himself, and that being is in such a high position that he ignores the procedures of the ‘Watcher of Light’.

And as far as Zion knew, there was only one person who could do that.

“Is the person who wants to meet me the head of this place?”

“… … you’re right.”

Archendelt nodded with a surprised expression.

I didn’t expect you to guess it right away.

“In fact, it was he who invited His Highness Zion here.”

Originally, even if Prince Sion had sent a signal, contact so quickly would have been unplanned.

However, since the leader of the ‘Watchers of Light’ decided to meet in person, the other Watchers had no choice but to follow suit.

‘What on earth are you thinking…? … .’

To be honest, Archendelt was not very pleased with the idea of ​​having Prince Sion as the ‘Watcher of Light’.

The reason was that Prince Sion was a member of the royal family of the Agnes Empire, but more than that, it was because of the appearance that Prince Sion showed during the attack that took place last night.

The cruel and ominous appearance that Prince Sion showed while dealing with the assassins sent from the ‘Shadow Nest’.

That image still remained vivid in his mind and had not disappeared.

Because the attack itself was kept secret, it was not known to the public, but Archendelt was confident that if it were known, people would feel even greater fear of Prince Sion.

Just like myself now.

‘It’s been a while since I saw you.’

That’s what Sion thought as he followed in Archendelt’s footsteps.

In fact, Zion had a relationship with the leader of the ‘Watchers of Light’.

A relationship that comes from the original body, not the current body.

‘In the past, it was thought that the writer of the chronicle created it using a real being as a motif… … .’

Now that he knew the truth to some extent, Shion recognized that the two were the same being.

Meanwhile,

“From here, Your Majesty, you must enter alone.”

Archendelt stopped in front of a large door that looked about ten times larger than a normal door and opened his mouth to Sion.

A door that seems to have been made for the entry and exit of something other than humans.

At those words, Shion pushed the door open without hesitation.

Well-

Despite its size, the door opened very easily, as if some magical action had been taken.

As Shion entered the open door, what he saw was a huge cavity.

A cavity so huge that the door you enter seems relatively small.

The appearance of such a cavity was more unique and mysterious than any cavity that Zion had ever seen.

Even though it was obviously blocked, I was able to see the entire transparent sky through the common ceiling.

In addition, even though the sun was shining in the sky, countless stars were shining.

There must be various transcendental magics at work here that allow us to read heavenly energy.

and,

-This world is heading towards destruction.

Such a communal owner slowly opened his mouth to Zion.

-Because of this, the fate of the world is becoming increasingly unstable and the human empire is slowly collapsing. And the effects of that destruction are now reaching this floating city.

The owner, whose body was so large that the huge cavity seemed narrow, was staring directly at Zion with his pupils curled up and vertically slit.

What is young in his eyes is a power and wise energy whose end is unknown even to present-day Zion.

As a result, the world around us is endlessly torn apart and reorganized.

-That’s why I can’t escape from here. The moment you take your eyes off it even for a moment, you will miss the flow of the sky. So please understand that I was called here out of necessity.

Light Dragon Obergia.

The leader of the ‘Watchers of Light’ and one of the two dragons that created the floating city.

Among the dragons, which are said to be the strongest and wisest creatures on earth, it is an ancient dragon that has lived for such a long time that it is ranked in the top five, and it is ranked first in the magic hierarchy of the city.

Shion looked directly into Gwangryong’s eyes and smiled slightly before opening his mouth.

“okay? “If you’ve been watching, you would know that this city will fall in two days.”

-… … !

Obergia’s large pupils twitched.

Because he never expected that Prince Sion would know what he had only recently discovered by combining various information, including Cheongi.

How on earth did Prince Sion, who had nothing to do with the city, figure it out?

-… … You are truly an unknown person.

Soon after saying those first words, the ancient dragon spoke to Sion.

-I really want to ask you how you figured out that fact and how you knew about the monitor’s signal, but… … The reason I invited you here was because I wanted to know something else. So it would be right to ask that first.

After saying those words, the question that came out of Aubergia’s mouth again, who was silent for a moment as if gathering her thoughts, was very unconventional.

-Heir to Agnes’ blood. How can you use the power of eternity?

Gwangryong, who had seen the proxy war fought by Zion here from beginning to end, was convinced.

The darkness that shimmered faintly in Sion’s body and denied all the magic fired by the opposing wizard.

That darkness is the power of eternity.

There was no possibility that he had seen it wrong or was mistaken.

The darkness that gave such an ominous and alien feeling was the only force in the world that existed in eternity.

However, there is one problem:

‘The power of Eternity is something that can never be inherited.’

This was the same even for Agnes’ blood relatives.

That’s why they created a force called Cheonseonghae as a substitute.

However, after hundreds of years, a new member of the royal family using the power of the Eternal Emperor appeared, so of course questions and confusion arose.

at that time,

“Still, I thought you might be able to recognize me.”

A low voice came out of Zion’s mouth.

-… … What does that mean?

The ancient dragon’s eyes are filled with doubt at the words that are not a suitable answer to the question and at the same time their meaning is completely incomprehensible.

“Think about it carefully.”

In the eyes of Zion, which are bent at the sight of such Obergia,

“Who am I?”

Black stars began to rise one by one.
