I became the youngest prince in the novel Chapter 197

Chapter 49: The Frantic Archduke (1)

The deep part of the ‘forest where the sun never rises’ located in the northwest corner of the empire.

“So you’re saying it wasn’t you who attacked the village?”

Liu Sina, who was sitting on a large rock there, looked at the people who were still bowing their heads in front of her.

Followers of the Jeonghwa religion have tattoos of six-headed beasts on their bodies.

These were not ordinary believers.

Among them, there were special believers staying at the main altar.

“Yes, mother! “The monsters that attacked the Black Fairy Village were driven by extremist believers in our headquarters.”

The old man who was bowing his head more deeply at the front of the congregation answered.

The old man’s name is Collins.

He was one of the executives of the main body of Jeonghwa Church.

“And you moderates are bringing back those monsters to get rid of them?”

“Oh, yes! “As expected, you have extraordinary insight!”

“… … “You just explained it to me.”

To summarize their explanations, they were as follows.

The main body of the Jeonghwa Church was divided into the radical faction, which wanted to purify the world in advance before the return of the thousand-year-old witch, and the moderate faction, which wanted to begin purification after the witch returned. Among them, the radical faction had suffered an accident.

The group continued to develop Liu Sina’s blood magic, which they had accidentally acquired in the past, in their own way, and the radicals half-intentionally caused the monsters created as a result to go berserk.

‘Hmm, it’s definitely different. ‘I improved it in a direction I never thought possible.’

Liu Sina thought like that and looked at the strange creatures standing quietly next to Collins.

It seemed that the clue his master had mentioned was that strange creature, or to be more precise, his own magic improved by the main body of the Jeonghwa Church.

‘Then in the end, there is only one way… … .’

Next to Liu Shina, who was organizing her thoughts like that,

“that… … What are you going to do? “Uh, mother?”

Lynette, who was watching, hesitated and opened her mouth.

Her eyes were very confused.

Why on earth do the figures of the Jeonghwa Church who suddenly appear give blessings to Liu Sina and call her mother?

And why is Liu Sina taking it for granted?

‘No way, Lina, this person…’ … .’

In the meantime, Lynette guessed Liu Sina’s identity with her innate sense, but she did not say those words out loud.

For now, I’m just trying my best to not be an eyesore.

“Why are you calling me that again?”

“Everyone calls me that, so I thought I had to… … .”

“You have no spine.”

It was a survival instinct, not a will, but Liu Sina, who couldn’t have known that, clicked her tongue, turned her head towards Collins, and continued speaking.

“I’m going to the headquarters. “Guide me.”

“Oh, I understand! “Everything goes according to Mother’s wishes!”

Collins, who answered those words with an excited voice, bowed his head even more.

If the thousand-year-old witch, who was the reason for the existence of the Jeonghwa Church, joined their moderate faction, the tyranny of the radical faction would also be easily put to rest.

“Shall I go with you? I don’t think I need it anymore… … .”

Lynette cautiously suggested that we split on that decision, but

“What are you talking about? Did you forget we promised to explore the heart of the forest together? Of course we should go together.”

It was immediately discarded.

Riosina, who got up from the rock, leaving behind Lynette, who was dead, began to look hopeful.

Thousands of years later, the clues to the upward path were slowly getting closer.

* * *

With bizarre cries, the hidden demons reveal their true form, and the entire main lecture hall begins to fill with disgusting demonic energy.

The reactions of other people who saw this were divided into two types.

“Well, that… … .”

People who are frozen and express their astonishment as if they cannot accept the situation that has just happened.

“You’ve finally shown yourself, you rats.”

And people who quietly devise techniques and prepare for battle.

Among them, the wizards who visited the school like Shion all belonged to the latter group.

‘It works well.’

Sion smiled quietly as he looked at the numerous demons that were forcibly revealed by the red light.

Through the collaboration of Professors from the University’s Magic Tower, including Ahamad, and the Blood Tower, the effectiveness of the improved red enemy line was improved incomparably compared to before.

In the past, when it was used by the Heavenly Sword House, it was a dark red line that could only reveal mid-level demons even though it used Priscilla’s blood.

However, even though there were demons with higher-level and higher power here now, it was having an effect on all of them.

‘If it’s like this… … .’

It seemed like there was not much time left to get rid of all the demons that existed within the imperial castle. While I was organizing my thoughts about Zion,

“I will erase everything from the world.”

Grumble!

The battle finally began with Ahmad’s white flames burning only the demons.

Kwagwagwagwagwang!

Wizards who shoot out high-level magic prepared in advance without hesitation,

“You damn human bastards!”

The demons fight back even though they cannot come to their senses.

It was quite threatening, but it couldn’t turn the situation around.

Because the current situation itself was already a trap perfectly planned by Zion.

together,

“Keep no mercy in your hands! “Today, we will hunt all the rats here.”

The level of wizards brought by Zion was also very high.

As well as Ahamad, one of the ‘Seven Heavens’, other wizards, including Archendelt, were also at the top of the city’s magic hierarchy.

There is no need for Zion to step forward.

“shit! “Damn it!”

Histon swore as he looked at his subordinate demons being hunted one by one by those wizards.

Where on earth did things go astray?

If the battle continued like this, annihilation was only a matter of time.

Escape was also impossible because ‘He’ was watching.

“Keuuu! Zion Agnes!!!!”

Histone lets out an angry cry while glaring at Shion, the person who created this whole situation.

And the next moment,

“That… … .”

His eyes suddenly took on a different color.

A woman sits in the left corner of the main lecture room, looking at the battle scene with a blank expression.

It was their target, Selphia Woodheart.

‘You’re neglecting your goal like that?’

Not only Prince Sion but also other wizards were quite far away from her.

In some ways, it was a questionable situation, but there was no time to think about such things right now.

“Aim for the target! “I must kill you right here!”

Histon instinctively realized that this was his last chance, and with a cry, the two demons close to Selphia began rushing toward her at terrifying speed.

“Stop those guys!”

An urgent cry came out of Archendelt’s mouth as he reacted immediately.

“No, stay still.”

Shion stopped him like that.

Even though each and every one of the high-level demons was rushing towards Selphia, there was not even the slightest twinge in Shion’s eyes as she looked at them.

‘This is where the seeds germinate.’

Because this was also an intentional situation.

Meanwhile, the demons were already approaching Selphia.

“Ahhh… … .”

The students around them were groaning foolishly, unable to move as they were weighed down by the tremendous demonic energy flowing from those demons.

Like them, Selphia also stood still and looked at the approaching demons with blank eyes, but there was one difference.

Her dazed eyes contained a completely different emotion than fear or despair.

thud! thud! thud! thud! thud!

Selphia’s heart is beating like crazy.

This heartbeat began exactly when the demons revealed their true form.

What on earth is going on?

Selphia couldn’t understand the change that was happening to her right now.

Why does the world seem to be getting slower and slower?

Why does the surrounding noise subside?

But there was one thing we knew for sure.

The trembling of the body along with the heartbeat.

That trembling is due to the excitement and anticipation rising from deep within one’s heart.

Sreuk-

The first demon attack was blocked as if it were only natural by Selphia’s hand that was slowly and lightly extended forward.

Before the confusion in the eyes of those demons appeared,

Knock knock!

All the magical energy he possessed was sucked towards Selphia through the hands he touched.

Her frantically beating heart turns the absorbed magic energy into a completely different form of power.

Kwazijijik!

The power was released outward again, blowing away the upper bodies of the demons that followed.

Maggi eating (攝食).

A unique characteristic exclusive to the anti-demons that only Selphia Woodheart has.

It was the moment when those characteristics were finally revealed to the world.

“!!!!!”

In the main lecture hall filled with astonishment at the incredible sight, only Zion’s eyes glowed with satisfaction.

‘Not bad.’

Although it expanded after that, it was impossible to estimate how much further it would grow in the future if it was able to crush two high-level demons as soon as it was awakened.

Moreover, the true value of that characteristic was different.

‘Given majority.’

An ability that will be acquired naturally as the character develops in the future.

If you think about that, it was completely understandable that he would go to such lengths to kill Selphia in the Demon Station.

Meanwhile,

‘I have to get out of this place.’

Histon, who watched his subordinates being attacked by Selphia, had such a thought in his mind.

I couldn’t understand how the target, who was just a failing student, could kill two high-level demons in an instant, but now was not the time to think about such things.

Even the last attempt at the mission was a complete failure, and staying here any longer would have been nothing more than a dog’s death.

‘If it’s like this, ‘He’ will understand that I ran away.’

With that thought, Histone was about to move towards the window of the main lecture room.

Rattling!

His body stopped in place.

“B-but… … !”

Immediately afterwards, Histone trembled and muttered as if he were talking to someone.

“From now on, we are targeting Sion Agnes.”

After muttering lowly with shaking eyes, they suddenly began rushing towards Zion.

Quaaaaa!

As if he had made a promise, all the remaining demons followed him.

Was it because I thought it was the last time?

The explosive magic energy released from the demons desperately rushing toward Zion instantly pushes away all the magic pouring in.

As a result, a path opened for a moment between the wizards, whose reactions were slightly slow.

Histone and the demons did not miss the path.

“Si, Your Highness Sion!”

Several of the magicians of the floating city shouted urgently as they watched the demons quickly rush to the front of Zion along the open road.

I knew that Prince Sion was strong, but the demonic energy felt from the demons that were rushing towards him was also tremendous.

And Zion also felt it fully.

‘The power I felt was similar to or greater than that of Hanosral that I faced before.’

Shion’s eyes widened slightly as he looked at Histon approaching from the front and made that decision.

Clearly, his previous self had struggled enough to use ‘Kronos’ Question’ against Hanosral.

but,

‘It’s different now.’

There was an incomparable gap between myself now and then.

With that thought, Eclaxia was silently grabbed by Shion’s hand stretched out to the side.

A sword of extinction that naturally absorbs all the light around it and replaces it with darkness.

Such darkness gathers on Eclaxia’s blade and begins to create other blades.

One layer.

Two layers.

Three layers… … .

At the moment when a total of five sword blades and a partial lunar eclipse overlapped,

“Die, Agnes’s blood!”

The Sword of Sion was finally swung at Histon, who was pouring out all his magical power with a desperate look on his face.

A single black line drawn along Eclaxia’s trajectory passes by Histone and the demons following behind it, and quickly reaches the end of the field of vision.

And the next moment,

Blah blah blah!

Everything caught by that black line began to split in two.

Is this what a hero in mythology would strike?

… … .

A large lecture hall filled with silence as the sword strikes were beyond shocking and even amazing.

And it was the same for Ahamad and Archendelt, who witnessed the battle between Zion and Stigma.

Just because I’ve seen it once before doesn’t mean the thrill it gives me is gone.

Susss-

In such silence, the corpses of Histone and the demons who met their end without even being able to scream slowly disappear.

Even though all the demons in the main lecture hall were dealt with, Zion did not collect Eclaxia.

Because there was still one rat left hiding.

“Why don’t you stop coming out?”

Shion mutters softly with her eyes fixed on one of the walls of the half-destroyed main lecture hall.

It was that moment.

“Hey, you’re hitting a bit, aren’t you?”

A cheerful voice that did not suit the situation at all rang in the ears of everyone in the main lecture hall.

Along with him, a girl appeared from the rippling wall.

I guess I’m only in my early teens now.

A girl with purple lips and a dark red dress with lots of lace.

‘That guy… … .’

Shion’s eyes began to turn cold enough to freeze when he saw the girl.

Because that girl, no, that monster, shouldn’t be here right now.

Grumble!

Muspelheim reacts on its own and wraps itself around Sion’s body.

-Contractor, it’s dangerous.

Even though she wasn’t called, the frost spirit suddenly appeared next to her and began to stand guard, glaring at the girl with its power raised.

Nevertheless, the girl just looks at Shion with a bright smile on her face.

Although no power was felt from that girl, it was clearly visible in Shion’s eyes.

The world around her was screaming and falling apart just by the girl standing there.

The frantic Archduke Acrimosia.

One of the Four Great Dukes, and a being who rules over all blood and madness in the world.

That was the girl’s identity.
