Became the youngest prince in the novel Episode 40

Chapter 13 Illusionary Army (5)

An armed group that is not affiliated with anything and operates solely for money is called a mercenary group.

And among them, there was also a mercenary group that specialized in hunting only humans, and people called them ‘human hunters.’

Among such groups of human hunters, Red Hat’s leader Yu Quan, whose skills were among the top three, was looking at a village that existed not far away.

‘That village is the target this time.’

To be exact, the target was Prince Shion, who was in the village, but it made no difference.

That village was also scheduled to disappear today anyway.

‘Was the request to disguise it as if it had been attacked by a ghostly army?’

Where the phantom army once appeared, not a single blade of grass remains.

Therefore, in order to thoroughly camouflage it, it was essential to erase the entire village.

‘Well, this might be better for Prince Sion.’

At the very least, you will face death after finding the phantom army.

“Captain, Dmitri isn’t coming back?”

Behind Yu Quan, a thin man approached and opened his mouth.

“I sent you to check their movements in advance, but aren’t you having fun first?”

“Then why not? Captain, let’s go quickly! “Now waiting is the limit!”

At those words, other members also looked at Yu Quan and began to pester him.

After looking at the now completely dark sky for a moment, Yu Quan slowly opened his mouth.

“Okay, go kill them all.”

As Yu Quan said that, his eyes were as red as the moon in the sky.

“Huh, huh! no… … no!”

Perna, a girl running along a long path, had a sense of urgency in her eyes.

‘I have to tell you, hurry!’

Earlier, she encountered strangers who gave her a strange feeling, secretly walked behind them, and soon witnessed an incredible sight.

I don’t know what happened, but outsiders who stopped by Liam’s house were attacked by unknown people and a skirmish immediately broke out.

And the close combat was at such a high level that Perna, an ordinary person, could not even see a single movement.

The only thing she saw was the darkness surrounding the pale man and the blood-red lines flowing from the fingertips of the red-eyed woman.

By the time Perna was able to accurately perceive their movements again, the entire battle had already ended.

With the victory of outsiders.

Defeating a much larger number of enemies than them, and enemies with superior skills, was certainly a very shocking sight.

And the moment she heard the words of the newly appeared woman with short hair, everything else was erased from Perna’s mind.

‘The main force is separate, it is waiting nearby and will soon attack this village.’

As soon as Perna heard those words, she started running towards the village without caring that they would notice her presence, and had not yet arrived at the village.

Tadadat!

The girl felt that the distance between Liam’s house and the village was very long today.

“please please… … .”

The nightmare that struck the town a few years ago slowly begins to play out in the girl’s mind.

I didn’t want to repeat that scene ever again.

‘If it’s soon… … ‘When exactly?’

How much time is left?

Even if we inform them now, will the villagers, who have no means of transportation, be able to run away?

Soon, the image of a village far away appeared in the girl’s eyes.

‘I need to tell you quickly… … !’

And that moment.

Rattling!

Perna’s new model, which was running, suddenly stopped.

“ah… … .”

The girl’s eyes are filled with despair.

Already in town.

“Kihahaha! Cut off everyone’s throats!”

“Please help me, please! Save me… … “Gagging!”

“Here’s the money, I’ll give you something worth money, but Peter…” … .”

“Eh? “I don’t need any money, right?”

Phew!

“Aaaah!”

The nightmare from that time was repeating itself.

“no… … .”

Perna stood blankly, looking at the hellish scene.

Then her eyes met the eyes of an old man whose head had just been caught by one of the human hunters.

‘Grandpa Gibson!’

An old man who always treated her affectionately as if she were his own granddaughter, having lost both of her parents at a young age.

Damn it, hit it.

The old man was afraid that Perna might be caught by the hunters, so he couldn’t even make a voice and was just shouting with his mouth.

I hated it.

This town.

He can’t even protect his own body, so he always gets taken away.

Yet the village people are always smiling.

That’s why I wanted to leave this village, and that’s why I wanted to become strong enough to leave the village.

No, actually… … .

-Perna, have dinner at my house today.

I didn’t want to leave.

-Sister, let’s go picking fruit together! When my mom picks some fruit, she makes a delicious pie with it!

I just wanted to protect it.

-Oh my, are those the only clothes you have? Wear this at least. I didn’t buy it for you, it just didn’t suit me.

These foolishly kind and simple people.

I wanted to become strong because I wanted to protect it.

-Hehe, it’s Perna. It looks like we used too much firewood, so I’d like to come in and get some.

Anymore.

I wanted to become strong because I didn’t want to lose anyone.

“Let go of those hands! “You f*cking bastard!”

Perna picks up a pickaxe lying nearby and runs towards the hunter who grabbed Old Man Gibson’s head.

but.

“Eh? “What is this guy?”

Quack!

There was no way a girl in her mid-teens with no powers could stand up to a professionally trained human hunter.

The hunter with full pierced lips immediately let go of the old man and grabbed the neck of Perna, who was running towards him.

“Queu, qurr!”

Perna struggles, clutching the hunter’s hand with both hands.

Perna’s secret was gradually being blocked by the hunter’s incredible grip.

However, the girl’s eyes were still glaring at the hunter with great anger.

“Hey, look at those eyes? Are you going to kill someone? Do you like it. “It’s a feeling.”

The hunter who was looking at her face grinned and raised his other hand.

“I will especially dig out your eyes first.”

The hunter muttered cruelly and slowly stretched his hand towards Perna’s eyes as if he was enjoying it.

The girl’s vision as she looks at the hunter’s hand approaching her begins to gradually blur due to the lack of oxygen.

‘In the end… … .’

Maybe it was a planned result.

They were the prey and they were the predators.

The struggle of a helpless prey was no different from inviting death.

Finally, the hunter’s hand came right in front of Perna’s eyes.

It was a moment of despair in the girl’s eyes.

Kwaaaaang!

Did thunder strike right next door?

With a sound like a shell exploding, the hunter’s arm holding Perna’s neck disappeared.

“… … uh?”

A stupid sound came out of the hunter’s mouth after a blow that was far beyond his awareness.

at that time.

“Bow your head.”

Perna, who naturally fell to the floor, heard a familiar yet heavy bass sound in her ears.

The moment when she unconsciously curled up from the power in that voice.

Tukwaaaaang!

A sound like an explosion of thunder was heard once again, and a blow like a cannonball passed lightly over her head, exploding the hunter’s body.

“I heard that the disaster Prince Sion chose this time to prove his successor was a phantom army.”

On a hill near a Kurdish village.

Behind the demon Cainris, who was overlooking the village there, a demon with gills instead of ears opened its mouth.

“That imprisoned prince? Do you have great confidence? “Did you really think you could handle it?”

Cainless snorted at that.

Since he was active within the empire, he also knew some things about Sion Agnes.

“I think everything else, let alone the welcome army, will be difficult.”

“Maybe there was no intention to solve it from the beginning. “I heard that when he left the imperial castle, he took only one subordinate with him.”

“It really might be so. “If you think about it, you can at least make the excuse that you didn’t know where the phantom army was coming from, so it fits perfectly.”

“Perhaps they won’t come even if we tell them that we will raise a welcoming army here?”

While the other demons were laughing at Zion, the Gill demon who had been quietly listening opened its mouth again.

“I think we need to be careful about Prince Sion. Are you aware that instructions have been given regarding Sion Agnes this time?”

“What instructions?”

“The order was to place Sion Agnes on the watch list as soon as she returns to the imperial castle.”

“what?”

The eyes of the blue-bodied demon woman were filled with doubt.

Because the people on the ‘watch list’ were all people with tremendous influence within the empire?

“why?”

“We believe that Sion Agnes may be related to the demons who disappeared from the castle this time.”

“That means… … “Are you saying that Sion Agnes is hunting demons?”

The Gill Demon did not respond, but that was already enough.

“If that’s true, Prince Shion already fully understands our existence… … .”

It was ridiculous.

They knew how thoroughly the demons within the imperial castle hid themselves.

However, accurately identifying the identity of such demons and hunting them down was absolutely impossible with the abilities of Sion Agnes that they knew.

But if, by any chance, that’s true… … .

“Everything I knew about Sion Agnes until now was a lie… … .”

It was then.

“I have a question.”

A voice suddenly cuts off Cainless’s words.

Although it was low, the voice that rang clearly in everyone’s ears did not belong to anyone here.

“… … !”

The eyes of the demons turned their heads in the direction from which the voice came with a stern expression.

Quad deuk!

“Garg, gag!”

Before I knew it, I saw a fellow demon with his heart pierced and bright blue blood pouring out.

A demon that lets out a suffocating scream with eyes full of questions as to why its own heart has been pierced and why it cannot understand.

Immediately next to that demon.

Sreuk-

A darkness even blacker than the night gathered together to form the image of a grinning Zion.

“I tried to hide it, but how could I not hide it?”

Shion asks as if she is truly curious as she throws away the corpse of a demon whose heart, core, and transmission core were all shattered in one blow like trash.

“Who are you… … !”

“Sion Agnes. The author is Zion Agnes.”

The gill demon opened its mouth heavily, interrupting the blue woman who was looking at Zion with astonished eyes.

The eyes of other demons begin to fluctuate along with him.

‘How are you here? Do you know who we are? Do you even know what you are trying to do? And what kind of power is that… … .’

Along with that, various questions begin to arise in Cainless’ mind.

But the demon stopped thinking about such questions.

There was absolutely no way to know right now anyway.

‘Only one thing is certain.’

The Sion Agnes in front of me has completely hidden her true face.

No matter how much it was a secret attack, it means that he ended the life of a fellow demon of a similar level to Cainris himself with a single blow.

That was by no means the kind of thing that the ‘shame of the imperial family’ that we had heard about so far could do.

And the darkness hovering around me.

It was more alien and ominous than anything Cainless had ever seen.

“You must kill him.”

We must kill him here and now.

With those low words, so much magical energy began to flow out of Cainris’ whole body that it took my breath away.

An opponent that requires you to give your best from the beginning.

Cainris’ intuition concluded that Shion was like that.

Dudduddu!

As if agreeing with his intuition, the blue woman and the gill demon’s entire bodies burst out with terrifying magical energy and begin to vibrate the surrounding air.

‘It’s definitely different.’

Shion’s eyes sank as he looked at those demons.

Just looking at the quality and quantity of the demon energy flowing out, it was a level of power that was on a different level from the demons that Sion had faced so far.

I probably wouldn’t have been able to deal with the demons I killed the first time so easily if it hadn’t been a sneak attack.

‘At my current level, the maximum is two people.’

So what should I do?

Although it was an unfavorable situation for anyone to see, there was a smile on Shion’s face.

Zion.

The higher the wall blocking the front, the higher it is.

The deeper the valley you have to cross.

I felt even greater anticipation.

A crisis that never existed when he was the emperor of the original world.

The joy you feel when you overcome that crisis and move on!

at that time.

Tooung!

The three demons who disappeared with a light cloud of feet appeared right in front of Zion.

The atmosphere is belatedly torn apart behind them, causing a sonic boom.

“die.”

Soon, the attack of the demons, which had the power to easily destroy the hill they were standing on, was simultaneously heading towards the vital points of Zion.

“I wanted to save it as much as possible.”

A low voice flowing from Zion’s mouth.

With him.

———–!

The darkness spreading from Sion’s right hand grasping the air began to take the shape of a sword.
