Became the youngest prince in the novel Episode 44
Chapter 13 Illusionary Army (9)
In the Agnes Empire, there are as many knights as there are stars in the sky.
When you ask people which of these knightly orders is the strongest, they usually pick three to four.
The Gray Lions, led by Second Princess Evelyn Agnes, were always one of the knights on the list.
“hmm… … “Prince Shion came all the way here?”
Charon, the leader of the 5th division of the Gray Lions, looked around with his eyebrows slightly furrowed.
The place where he and the knights of the 5th Division he led were located far from Hubris, the capital of the Agnes Empire, was an area that could truly be called the outskirts of the outskirts.
“We still have a little more to go. “I said you were in a village called Kurdistan.”
Adjutant Paulo came next to Charon and opened his mouth.
“… … Why on earth did you come all the way to the outskirts? “You never know where the phantom army might arise anyway.”
A dissatisfied voice came out of Charon’s mouth.
There is only one reason why Charon and the 5th Division are on this country road right now.
It was precisely because of Eveline Agnes’ instructions.
‘I want you to protect Zion.’
Evelyn, who heard that Sion left the imperial castle with only one subordinate, immediately called Charon and gave orders.
Of course, she also did not think that Zion would be able to find a welcoming army.
Nevertheless, the reason Evelyn sent the 5th Division was because she thought that other royal family members might target Sion when she went out of the castle.
Based on the history so far, it was quite possible, no, it was definitely going to happen.
That is why she sent the elite of the elite, the Gray Lions, out of the imperial castle without anyone knowing.
“The Gray Lions of the world have to look after the imprisoned prince.”
Although he followed the instructions of Evelyn, whom he revered beyond respect, Charon was very unhappy with this situation.
It was natural for Prince Sion, who had no ability at all, to be eliminated from the royal family of the Agnes Empire, which regarded military power as the highest virtue.
Charon couldn’t understand why Evelyn was protecting Prince Sion like that.
Even though he is my half-brother.
“Haha, it’s nice to come out of the capital after a long time and see a quiet night view. Please enjoy the scenery around Daejangdo Island.”
Unlike Charon, who complains like that, Paulo takes a deep breath and speaks leisurely.
“Paulo, you are so comfortable… … .”
Charon, who was frowning and opening his mouth to the adjutant, suddenly stopped speaking.
“… … uh?”
As he looked ahead, his eyes began to grow bigger.
What was reflected in his eyes was a huge barrier covering the Kurdish village and the entire surrounding area in the distance.
“That… … .”
Soon after, Paulo’s face hardened as he witnessed the same thing.
A barrier that large and precise was something that even the Gray Lions had never seen before.
Normally, they would have wondered why such a barrier was in such a place, but the thoughts that were going through their minds right now were different.
The Phantom Army, one of the seven greatest plagues of the Empire.
Nothing was known about him, but one thing was known.
That is, before the phantom army appears, a large-scale barrier is always created around it.
“Captain, no way… … !”
Toward Paulo, who is looking at him with shaking eyes.
“First, approach near that barrier.”
Charon opened his mouth with a firm voice.
* * *
The second condition to obtain Kronos’ mythical Noble Phantasm.
That is, the person with the ‘coordinates’ had to personally kill the king of the illusion army.
In the chronicle, the warrior kills the cursed king, but now he plays that role.
Damn it!
Zion was taking his place.
There was no detailed information in the chronicle as to why this condition was necessary to obtain Kronos’ Noble Phantasm, so Zion did not know much about it.
Considering that the original name of the ring that served as the ‘coordinates’ was ‘Cronos’ Judgment’, I could only guess that it was related to the punishment that Kronos gave to the king.
Phew!
Before Zion, who was thrown backwards by the first collision, could land on the ground, the Cursed King, riding a skeletal horse, approached right in front and swung his sword one after another.
The dark blue fire that burns throughout the king’s sword.
Black Island.
Sion, who somehow created a posture in the air, shattered the entire space and swung Eclaxia, which formed a perfect sword body, towards the approaching king’s sword.
The moment when the two swords collide.
Blah blah blah!
Along with the huge wave that exploded, the surrounding atmosphere split apart and began to burn.
The earth, unable to withstand the shock, shatters and explodes into powder.
With that, Zion’s new model bounced backwards once again.
But this time it seems different from before.
Stand tall!
As if defying the laws of physics, Zion suddenly stopped mid-flight and disappeared on the spot along with darkness.
“… … .”
The king in black armor, who was watching the scene, suddenly raised his sword toward the empty sky above.
That moment.
Hahaha!

A wave that explodes with the sound of something hitting something.
A step later, Zion appeared from the darkness, crossing swords with the king.
It seems like it doesn’t end there.
Whirling!
Shion rotates her body in the air and lunges towards the king once more.
The sword of Zion swings towards the king’s neck once again.
Did he think it was too late to draw his sword to block?
The king, who had been following the movements of the Sword of Zion with his eyes, raised his other arm covered with armor.
Hwaaaaaaa!
Blue flames cover the king’s entire hand.
As usual, the darkness of the Black Star surrounding the Sword of Zion would have consumed all such fires.
Let’s go!
That wasn’t the case this time.
Eclaxia of Zion was unable to pierce the blue fire and was captured by the king.
Even at that moment, the Black Star of Zion was extinguishing the evil fire, but the amount of evil fire spewing out from the king was overwhelmingly greater than that.
The cursed king pulls the hand holding the Sword of Zion towards himself, breaking his balance while simultaneously swinging the sword in his opposite hand.
Shion saw this and immediately let go of the sword of extinction and quickly retreated.
But at that moment.
-Don’t miss it.
The king’s sword accelerated once more.
Hahaha!
A roaring sound erupts.
At the same time, Zion’s new model bounced backwards at a speed that was barely visible.
Quang! Quang! Quaaaang!
It broke through two large rocks in succession and finally stopped after destroying half of the last rock.
A wave that explodes belatedly in the place where Zion passes by and devastates the surrounding area.
Jureuk-
A stream of fresh blood flowed from the corner of Zion’s mouth, which was stuck in the rock.
at that time.
-I expected it.
The king of the illusionary army got off his horse, slowly approached Zion, and opened his mouth.
-Because you were the first to stand before me as a judge.
-I was hoping that maybe, really just maybe, this endlessly repeating punishment would come to an end.
but.
-But why?
That expectation was in vain.
Because the power of the human standing in front of him could not even reach his toes.
A dark look of disappointment appeared in the king’s eyes.
-Why are you so weak?
Even anger could be felt in the king’s voice.
“… … .”
Shion looked at the king approaching her and checked his physical condition.
His hands were shaking slightly as if he had received a strong shock, and his body was creaking and screaming here and there.
This was despite the fact that a moment ago, when he received the king’s sword, a veil of darkness surrounded his entire body and he hit the point of attack, draining most of his strength.
If he had been hit correctly, he would have definitely died at that moment.
‘There is definitely a big difference in basic specifications.’
Even though the Black Star was amplified through Eclaxia, the power gap was too large.
This is a situation where Zion’s own attack does not work at all.
I don’t know if Black Star can fully reach the 3rd floor, but for now, it was definitely a difficult opponent.
‘I can’t hope for any outside help.’
All the soldiers of the other illusionary forces were blocked by handshakes, so one-on-one contact was possible, but no further help could be expected.
Liu Sina was unable to help because she had to control Aksu’s entire army.
It took Liam, who had just entered the battlefield, a lot of time to get here.
‘then… … .’
Clap, clap.
Sion tightly grasped Eclaxia as she felt the king slowly approaching towards her with blue flames burning all over his body, and a presence of a different order of magnitude emanating from the king.
‘There is only one way left.’
The eyes of Zion sinking downward.
Hwaaaaaaa!
At the same time, the sword of extinction absorbs all the light around it and creates the sword body once again.
Thump, pound, pound, pound!
Zion’s heart began to beat at a crazy speed.
As a result, all the blood vessels within Zion vibrate to their maximum, amplifying the black star flowing within them beyond their limits.
The darkness around him fluctuated uncontrollably with him.
-… … ?
The moment when the king’s eyes were filled with doubt for the first time as he approached the sound of his heart beating so loudly that he could even hear it in his ears.
Pop.
It all stopped in an instant, as if time had stopped.
The silence that follows.
Soon after.
Good!
A strange sound broke the silence.
A sound like a rusty door slowly opening.
The sound was coming from deep inside Zion’s body.
Along with that, the darkness calmly descends around Zion.
-What have you done!
The new form of the king of the phantom army, feeling an eerie feeling for some reason from the sight of Zion, rushed right in front of Zion at maximum speed.
The king immediately raised his sword above his head and slashed at Zion.
Fuhahahaha!
The king’s sword was burning more powerfully than ever before, burning all the surrounding air.
Shion lowers her head without even looking at the flaming sword coming towards her, consuming everything like that.
The moment when the king’s flame sword finally splits Zion’s head.
Suddenly!
The sound of something being cut down echoed throughout the battlefield.
A moment of silence with him.
Soon after.
Coo!
Breaking the silence, the arm holding the cursed king’s sword fell to the ground.
-… … !
For the first time, a look of confusion appeared in the king’s eyes.
In the eyes of the king’s helmet, an ominous darkness slowly forming the shape of the moon behind Zion was reflected.
Lunar eclipse.
It explodes all the black stars that exist in the body in an instant, instantly raising all abilities beyond their limits.
The best amplifier and one of the best reversals that Zion has.
Soon after.
Phew!
The new form of Zion that activated the lunar eclipse disappeared from the spot and appeared right in front of the king.
The speed is incomparable to what it was a moment ago.
At the same time, Zion swung Eclaxia, which had already been raised above her head, towards the king.
-you… … !
The cursed king was surprised by the incredible speed, but quickly switched to the other arm and raised the sword he was holding.
The moment when the two swords collide.
Hahaha!
The huge shock wave that erupted from him once again swept through the already devastated surroundings.
Grrrrrrrrr!
In the midst of such a shock wave, the swords of Sion and the King are touching each other and sparking enough to brighten the surrounding area due to friction.
‘I blocked it…’ … .’
That was the moment the king thought as he looked at the Sword of Zion, which was no longer able to advance.
“I have something to ask you.”
A low voice flowing from Zion’s mouth.
“Who is weaker now?”
At that moment, Zion’s eyes curved like a crescent moon.
Tukwaaaaang!
The heterogeneous darkness surrounding Eclaxia grew as if exploding, shattering the king’s sword and falling to the ground.
