I became the youngest prince in the novel Chapter 252

Chapter 64 Baekseong Palace Basement (2)

A slum on the outskirts of Hubris, the capital of the empire.

Compared to the central area, there was little security, so dozens of big and small crimes occurred every day.

In addition, was it because making a living was more important to them than the crisis in the world?

Even during this time when war was just around the corner, various crimes were taking place in the slums.

Even in such slums, shantytowns are where the extremely poor live.

Kwasik!

There had been a huge commotion there since morning.

About a dozen adult men broke down the door of a shack without hesitation and stuffed all the furniture inside into sacks.

In their midst, there was a small trembling girl and a boy in his late teens hugging her protectively.

“hmm… … “I don’t think I can even repay my debt with this.”

A man in his mid-forties who appeared to be the leader of the men looked around the house and muttered as if he was troubled.

The man’s name is Nodik.

He was a very notorious person among the loan sharks in the slums who did not hesitate to do illegal things if it meant making money.

“Perhaps.”

The Nodic, who had been looking around for a while, turned his grim, scarred face towards the boy and asked.

“Are there any valuables hidden in the house? Jewelry, gold jewelry, etc. “It’s better if you have cash.”

“doesn’t exist. “Because you guys already took it all a long time ago.”

The boy, Velid, glared at Nodik and opened his mouth as if chewing.

The background that brought him to this situation.

It was an obvious story.

His parents, who had taken out debt to open a store to escape difficult circumstances, died in some kind of accident, and immediately Nodik, the private loan shark who had lent the money, began to forcibly collect the money.

And at a ridiculous interest rate.

“This is a bit difficult… … ah!”

Nodic, who was stroking his chin for a moment at Velid’s words, then snapped his fingers as if he remembered something.

“There are still some left.”

As the loan shark said that, his gaze was directed towards Belid and his sister.

Human trafficking.

It was prohibited under imperial law, but the Nothics were not concerned about such things.

Did you notice his thoughts?

“You crazy bastard!”

Belid quickly tried to leave the place while holding his younger brother, but he was unable to escape the gangsters who had already narrowed the siege.

The boy and girl were immediately suppressed and brought to their knees.

“Ugh… … “I was thinking like this from the beginning!”

At Belid’s words, Nodik smiled, showing his yellow teeth, and turned his face towards the boy.

“I heard you’re quite intelligent, right? I think I could get a decent price if I put it up on the underground auction house. Of course, the same goes for your younger brother.”

At those words, the boy’s face turned thoughtful.

“Oh, no! “Please, Illiya!”

The sight of Velid bowing his head and pleading with all his pride was very pitiful, but the look in Nothic’s eyes did not change at all.

If I had been shaken by something like this, I wouldn’t have started in the first place.

The men, moved by Nodik’s glance, began dragging Velid’s younger sister away first.

“Ugh! “Oppa, oppaaa!”

“Off! “You f*cking bastards!”

It really was a shit life.

I struggled again and again to escape this hell-like poverty.

I prayed and prayed to God to give me just one chance.

But the more I struggled, the deeper hell became and God did not listen to my prayers.

A pit where not even a single ray of light can reach.

He existed within it.

‘But please… … Just once. If there really is such a thing as God… … !’

It was the moment when Belid shouted that in his heart as he stretched out his hand toward his younger sister, who was being dragged away with blood vessels bursting and her eyes turning bright red.

Rattling!

The door of the half-broken shack opened forcefully.

And from beyond, knights with strange-looking eyes that did not fit in with the slums here began to enter the house.

“What are you guys doing… … !”

Some oblivious gangsters rushed at him,

Suddenly!

His head was immediately cut off by one of the knights with his sword drawn.

A knight shaking off his sword as if it was dirty.

In the frozen silence that began with that, the middle-aged knight standing in front looked at Velid and opened his mouth.

“Belied Frost? And Ilya Frost?”

“… … yes?”

“I’m going to the imperial castle right now. “Get ready.”

Unlike the brutal appearance he showed as soon as he entered, the knight’s voice speaking to the boy and girl was not only soft, but even polite.

At that time, did he even smell the money?

“hello. Drivers. “I call myself Nodic.”

Nodic, who was watching from one side as if assessing the situation, opened his mouth with a coy smile.

“Are you planning to take them to the imperial castle?”

The knight looked at Nothic without saying anything.

“Then how about talking to me first? Their parents owe me a debt, and since they recently passed away, that debt now belongs to them.”

“… … so?”

“I think I will have to manage everything, including their identities, until the debt is paid in full. so… … .”

“now.”

Before Nodik could finish speaking, the knight opened his mouth in a cold voice.

“Are you saying they belong to you? Slavery in the empire should have been banned long ago. Are you now admitting to me that you broke it? and… … .”

Suddenly!

Suddenly, with a silver flash, Nothic’s right arm fell off.

“Kwaaaak!”

“If you interfere with the execution of my name one more time, next time I will cut off your head, not your arm.”

The Nothic screams, clutching the spot where his arm fell off, and the knight looks at him with emotionless eyes.

“What the hell! “Whose name is that?”

In response to the Nothic’s shout, which was like a struggle, the knight blurted out a word.

“We are the Knights of Agnes.”

With that one word, all questions were answered and the eyes of the people there began to flutter.

Because there was only one person in the world who could give orders to the Knights of Agnes.

“Bellied Frost.”

The knight, filled with astonishment, turned his head towards Belid again,

“His Majesty, Emperor Zion Agnes, is calling you.”

He opened his mouth as if making a declaration.

* * *

‘Trials of eternity?’

As Shion felt his vision being colored by bright light, a question appeared in his mind.

The voice of an artificial spirit suddenly ringing in my ears was a voice, but the idea of ​​an eternal ordeal was beyond absurd.

First of all, he had no memory of making something like this.

‘Then, either the owner of the ‘realm’ created it, or my past self created it after I entered this body… … .’

Soon after,

Hahaha!

Through the sight reflected in his returning vision and the artificial spirit’s voice ringing in his ears again, Sion was able to know that the latter was correct.

[You have entered the eternal trial.]

[You are currently under siege. Survive by avoiding attacks from beastmen and fairies.]

A very simple message.

‘Could it be that they thought I would visit the ‘area’ and made it in advance?’

Shion thought like that and looked around.

Hundreds of minions standing in a circle surrounding themselves, and an army of beastmen and fairies surrounding them from afar.

Shion knew very well what the current situation was.

One of the crises he faced in the past when he was Orrelion while traveling the continent to devour the world.

‘Was it when the conquest of the giant colony was almost over?’

Perhaps feeling a sense of crisis due to the enemy’s army advancing at a speed far exceeding expectations, Yeo Yeo-rim and Suin-hae formed an allied force and mobilized all their might to target Sion himself, who was moving with a small number of troops. That was the current situation.

‘Originally I wouldn’t have been caught… … The situation was strange. As if the world itself was in the way.’

For one being to devour the entire world, it was originally something that could not and should not exist.

A reverse heaven that goes against natural law.

Therefore, the world assigned the fate of defeat to Zion, and this battle was one of the battles where that fate was most powerfully displayed.

The only thing that can deny this fate is the Black Star he possesses.

Therefore, this could be seen as a kind of proof test.

A test to prove that you are who you are.

at that time,

“your majesty! “You must avoid it quickly!”

One man, who was looking at the forces of the Beast Sea and Fairy Forest, which were gradually narrowing the siege and getting closer, shouted to Zion with an urgent look on his face.

‘It’s been a while.’

Sion chuckled as he looked at the man who looked similar to Lucas Ascalon.

Sword Saint Ian Ascalon.

He was one of the five kings who assisted Zion in the past and the founder of Ascalon, one of the five great families.

Although it was just a recreated world, not real, I couldn’t help but feel glad about it.

“We will clear a path even at the cost of our lives, so get out of there!”

Whoa!

Even though he was a young man in his late twenties and his skills had not yet matured, the sword of Ian Ascalon was shouting like that. A force of light that seemed to split the world asunder was coming out of it.

“Normally, I would have told you not to overdo it, but… … Things don’t seem to be going well right now.”

On the other side of Ian, a beautiful woman dressed as a wizard looked at Zion and spoke.

“Your Majesty, how about we do as Ian says this time?”

It was Rizwell Ozrima, one of the five kings and the future ancestor of the Ozrima family.

If Ian was fire, Rizwell was water.

Her voice was very calm, as befitted her personality, but even she couldn’t hide the young anxiety in her eyes.

At that time, did you even listen to what those people said?

———————–!

The entire earth shook with a sound so loud that human ears could not hear it.

At the same time, the land on the side of the fairy army’s camp began to rise upward, forming the shape of a giant whose end was so large that it was impossible to see.

Diotne, the spirit king of the earth.

He borrowed the form of the earth and appeared in the world.

That oh oh oh oh!

As if it was going to do its best from the beginning, the Earth Giant, inhabited by the Spirit King, began running towards Zion at incredible speed.

Dedddddddddd!

Additionally, the ground shakes like crazy as if there was an earthquake.

“Your Majesty!”

Ian Ascalon, who saw this, called out to Zion in an even more urgent voice, as if he was running out of time.

It was still impossible for him to deal with Diotne.

“Your Majesty, first we will build a road on the other side… … .”

It was at that moment that Rizwell also said the same thing and filled the magic with both hands.

“no.”

A low voice came out of Zion’s mouth.

Shion walks slowly with him.

The direction of those steps was towards the approaching Spirit King.

“Your Majesty Orrelion!”

Hearing Ian’s voice calling him from behind, Zion stretched out one hand and grasped the air.

Sreuk-

Eclaxia is being held in my hand as if I’ve been waiting for it.

In fact, if you think about common sense, it could be said that the right decision was to hold on and wait for reinforcements or break through one side of the siege and escape.

Not only was the difference in power incomparably extreme, but at this time, Zion himself had not yet reached the 7th star of the Black Star, so he could not inflict a proper blow on the Spirit King.

But still.

My current answer and Orrelion’s answer in the past had already been decided.

It is the one answer that will never change even if faced with a hundred, or even a thousand, crises, and the way Zion has always proven himself until now.

slowly.

The sword of Sion slowly draws towards Diotne, who slams her fist down with a scream that threatens to tear the sky apart.

That single sword was very strange.

Even though I’m clearly looking at it with my own two eyes, is it being drawn from top to bottom?

Or is it drawn from the bottom up?

Or is it drawn from left to right?

I couldn’t tell.

A sword that moves steadily at the same speed even in time, which rapidly slows down along with the denial of space and senses.

Finally, the Spirit King’s fist, which fell like a meteorite burning the air, came to a complete stop just an inch above Zion’s head.

The moment the tip of the Sword of Sion reaches its final destination, Tuhwahahahahaha!

As time returned to normal, an enormous friction flame erupted and covered the entire atmosphere surrounding the battlefield.

As a result, in the sight that has turned completely white,

Blah blah blah!

The Spirit King of the Earth is split in two and collapsing.

In that myth-like scene,

“From now on, we will delve into the enemy’s core and smash his head.”

Shion gave a quiet instruction to Ian and Rizwell, who were looking at him with blank eyes.
