I became the youngest prince in the novel Chapter 196

Chapter 48 Floating City (13)

A cavity that exists in the deepest layer of the Tomb of Sorrow.

-Was it me who decorated the throne, not you? … .

In the center of such a cavity, a being wearing armor made of bone and leather was slowly disappearing.

It was Caletus, King of Sorrows, the owner of the tomb.

Although his name is not known because he has never used his power properly, he is a demon with the highest level of power in the demon realm, as he is given the title ‘King’.

“and… … “I really thought I was going to die.”

In front of Caletus, who was disappearing like that, Rayne lay down on the floor, throwing aside the spear that had been broken during the battle.

Her appearance wasn’t that good.

Although his limbs were not blown off, there was no sound on his entire body, and there were wounds that could have been life-threatening if they had gone even an inch deeper.

“It’s all because of lack of practice. Train harder in the future.”

Turzan came next to Reign, who was stretched out, and opened his mouth bluntly.

Even though his injuries were no different from those of Lane, no one refuted that statement.

Because he was the one who took most of the attacks from the King of Sorrows from the front.

Nevertheless, the fact that he was similar to Raine, who only occasionally received the overall skill, was a testament to how well-trained Turzan’s body was.

“What are you going to do now?”

Tyran, who had been watching Elesis treating the two for a moment, turned his head towards Claire and asked.

There was surprise in his eyes.

Unlike Raine and Turzan, there were almost no wounds on Claire’s body.

Even though he fought at close range with them, his injuries were more minor than those of Tyran himself, who provided long-distance support.

This indirectly shows how high the level of her power is.

‘Are you really a hero?’

at that time.

“We need to treat only fatal injuries and get out of here right away.”

A calm voice came out of Claire’s mouth as she was looking somewhere other than the group.

What she was looking at was not a cavity or a tomb, but a huge anger bursting out from a place far beyond.

Even though the distance was so far that she couldn’t even perceive it, the power felt from the owner of that anger was causing a shiver in Claire’s body.

“One of the archdukes will be coming here now.”

Zelis, Prince of Jealousy.

It seemed like he realized his child’s death right away.

‘You shouldn’t deal with Jelis now.’

There was a reason why he had to deal with the other archdukes, but it was also an enemy that he could not deal with at the moment.

4th Duke.

They were the four strongest beings excluding the Demon King, and their strength was so beyond imagination that they could not even be compared to other demons.

In addition, each of these Grand Dukes had the ‘fate of world destruction’, so their status and level were higher than those that existed before.

It’s safe to say that each one has already reached half a body.

One of those four archdukes was Jellys, the archduke of jealousy, so it was natural that he couldn’t deal with him alone or even if the entire party attacked him.

‘But later… … .’

Feeling the power coming towards her at an incredible speed, Claire made that decision and turned around.

Now was the time to step aside.

* * *

Selphia Woodhart.

Her role in the annals was not very significant.

Like Sion Agnes, she died as soon as she appeared.

And that was also due to the assassination on the Demon Station side.

The reason Selphia Woodheart was assassinated was because of the magical properties she was born with.

A unique characteristic specialized only for anti-monster warfare.

‘Perhaps the lack of magical aptitude is also due to the fact that all abilities are concentrated in that characteristic.’

As Shion thought so, he looked at the woman with light pink hair who was still looking up at him blankly.

It seemed like I didn’t really understand the current situation.

And that was true not only for her but for everyone in the classroom.

“What do you mean by that, Your Highness Zion? The student in front of His Majesty right now is… … .”

“Selphia Woodhart. This Seyfran is a failure of the magic school and a disgrace to the floating city, unable to use even basic magic. is not it?”

Shion answered, interrupting the principal who opened his mouth with a puzzled expression.

“you’re right. But why do you say that? “If you need talent, we will recommend students who maintain top grades at school.”

There was a reason why the principal said this.

It was a very happy fact that Prince Sion, who was mentioned as a strong candidate for the next emperor, came to his school and personally took the student, but the problem came after that.

If it becomes known that the student’s level is poor, Saferan School will be ridiculed not only by the city, but by the entire world.

Aside from that, I couldn’t understand why Prince Shion wanted to take in a failing student in the first place.

‘I… … ‘Need it?’

And it was the same for Selphia.

As I said earlier, Selphia herself was a failure at this school and a disgrace to the city.

Therefore, there was absolutely no reason for Prince Shion to need him.

but.

“No, we don’t need those low-level guys. “All I want is this guy.”

Despite such words and thoughts, Shion still answers without taking his eyes off Selphia.

“B-but… … !”

“I don’t like saying the same thing twice.”

Shion, who silenced the principal with a quiet but irresistible rebuttal, opened his mouth to Selphia.

“You are going to the imperial city with me. “I know I have to move out of the city next year anyway, so I guess I can think of moving it up a little bit.”

Rejection was something I didn’t even think about.

An extremely arrogant way of speaking that completely ignores the other person’s opinions.

But at the same time, it was a way of speaking that suited Sion very well.

“I plan to leave the city tomorrow, so get ready in advance.”

“Yes, yes!”

Selphia unconsciously nodded at the strong scent of a ruler coming from that voice.

‘If we take him to Hubris, we will naturally be able to protect him from further assassination attempts.’

With this, the second task to be resolved in the floating city was completed, but there was still concern in Sion’s eyes.

‘Should I clean it up while I’m at it?’

They were demons hiding in this school to assassinate Selphia.

Their level was so outstanding that even if the assassination failed, there was a strong possibility that they would cause harm to the floating city in the future.

Shion himself also had no reason to come to this city again after this incident, so it might have been difficult to weed him out if not now.

“How long has it been since your technique has been improved?”

Zion asks Ahmad.

The Archmage, who understood the meaning behind Shion’s words even though he did not say what the spell was for, answered with shining eyes.

“It’s worth saving. “Now is the time to take a test.”

Shion, who had made his decision, smiled slightly and turned his head towards the people who still did not fully understand the situation.

“But since we’ve come this far, we can’t just leave.”

People’s eyes are filled with doubts about those unknown words.

“Where is the biggest lecture venue in the school?”

Among them, a quiet question came out of Shion’s mouth as he looked into the principal’s eyes.

* * *

Saferan Magic School, one of the few higher education institutions in the floating city.

Today, many people gathered in the main lecture hall of such a school.

All students at school, including professors and staff.

“Is that true?”

Their faces were strangely excited.

It was because of Prince Zion’s lecture that would be held here shortly.

“You’re giving that theory lecture here?”

Even though it was a lecture given by Prince Shion, who had no knowledge of magic, there was a reason why people had such low expectations.

A technique based on the ‘correlation between space distortion and time due to gravity magic’ written by Prince Zion when he visited the Empire’s University Magic Tower earlier this year.

The technique was a new paradigm that was completely different from previous magic theories.

Therefore, at one time, it caused a huge stir among the Adegripa who had passed on the magic, and some of the magicians were so shocked that they even ruined all the research they had done so far.

Since the author of the technique was said to be giving a lecture himself, I couldn’t help but look forward to it.

Prince Sion’s offer to recruit Selphia Woodheart, a failing student at school, was simply buried.

“I didn’t say that was the exact theory, but maybe it is? Other than that, there isn’t really anything Prince Shion can lecture about. But that doesn’t mean I learned magic.”

“Wow, that’s awesome. “You can’t leave it on video, right?”

“They said it couldn’t be done. “I heard you took away all related items when entering the classroom?”

Next to people talking with such flushed expressions.

‘What the hell is this…? … .’

Histon, a demon who was disguising himself as one of the students at Saferan Magic School, quietly furrowed his eyebrows.

As a demon with almost the highest level of power, he was commanding the demons hiding within this school to carry out his mission.

‘Now the mission was just around the corner.’

The mission was to assassinate a person within the school.

In fact, I couldn’t understand why so much effort was being put into assassinating a target who was not a professor but a student, and on top of that, a failing student.

However, since it was an order from above, I did not question it and steadily proceeded with the plan, and tonight was the moment when it finally came to fruition.

But everything was turned upside down by the sudden appearance of Sion Agnes.

‘If the target leaves after Sion Agnes like this, the mission will be a failure. I have to kill him somehow before then.’

But right now I couldn’t move.

Prince Shion gathered all the students and professors in one place, as if he knew their plan.

In addition, the unknown pressure coming from Prince Zion, who was slowly ascending to the podium, was preventing him from moving carelessly.

‘This is really annoying. I can now understand why there is so much control from above.’

Histon’s eyes are filled with frustration.

‘however… … ‘Why are you giving a lecture all of a sudden?’

Prince Sion, as judged by the devil, was someone who never moved without meaning.

Therefore, this action must also have a hidden intention.

The problem was that the intention was completely unknown.

The question above the demon’s eyes was also raised when he was young.

“Let’s get started right away.”

An emotionless voice flowed from Zion’s mouth as he arrived at the center of the podium.

Although it is very small, it is a voice that can be heard clearly in the ears of everyone there.

As a result, the main lecture room naturally fell into silence and everyone’s attention focused on Zion.

Under the gaze of those people, Shion began to use magic chalk to write something on the large blackboard behind him.

The wizards’ expectations rise further along with him.

But soon their expectations began to turn into doubts.

“… … “Magic circle?”

What Shion was drawing was not a magic trick, but a huge magic circle.

One could have thought that the gravity technique had been transformed into a magic circle, but a high-level wizard could tell the moment he saw it that it was not like that.

For that to be the case, the fundamentals of the technique were too different to begin with.

It’s as if they specialize in finding something… … .

at that time.

“There are too many rats in this world.”

Zion’s voice continued into the ears of those wizards.

“It’s hiding everywhere and trying to gnaw on mine, but it’s hard to see, so it’s quite annoying to deal with.”

Was it instinct?

Or was it just intuition?

The demon Histon felt an ominous feeling in Prince Sion’s voice, as if his heart was pounding.

Along with that, one memory flashed into his mind like a thunderbolt.

‘It is clear that Prince Sion said that he has the ability to distinguish between us.’

However, the demon’s judgment was that there were various limitations to that ability and that all it had to do was to uncover a small number of nearby demons.

Otherwise, all the demons hiding in the imperial castle would have been eliminated long ago.

But what if… … .

‘What if that judgment was wrong?’

Additionally, what if that ability was further improved and developed?

With the alarm bell ringing in my head, my heart starts to pound harder.

It wasn’t because of anxiety.

Prince Zion’s magic circle is quickly approaching completion.

It was because of the bright red light flowing from the magic circle.

“Today’s lecture is about how to find such rats.”

Shion quietly recited as if she could see through the state of Histon and the other demons.

“Oh, no! Hurry up and get out of here… … !”

The moment when Histone finally couldn’t hold on any longer and was about to run out.

“It’s already too late.”

With Shion looking at him exactly like that and smiling mischievously.

Kyaaaaaaaaa!

Finally, the main lecture hall began to fill with bizarre cries and ugly demonic energy.
