Became the youngest prince in the novel Episode 75
Chapter 21 Snake Hunting (1)
“You’re qualified enough…” … .”
The night streets of Hubris, the capital city, where it is already past midnight and even the moon in the sky is hidden above the clouds.
Ouroboros executive Sharin May, who had just come out of the underground auction house, muttered as she walked alone through the night streets.
At the same time, an image of a man she had spoken to a moment ago appeared in her mind.
Although more than half of his face was covered by a white mask, you could tell that he was handsome just by looking at his exposed mouth and jawline.
“Who is it?”
Looking at the light gray hair, there was a high possibility that he was someone with the last name of Ilones, Agnes’ cousin.
But I couldn’t figure out anything more than that.
‘Anyone who can spend that amount of money at once must be somewhat well-known in the capital… … .’
They had been secretly working here for more than a dozen years, holding on to all information about the capital.
If it hasn’t been identified by their information network, it means that it either hasn’t been active at all or is powerful enough to escape their eyes.
Of course, the possibility of the latter was very small, so it was probably the former.
“dare.”
I didn’t like it.
From the eyes that seemed to be daring to look down at Sharin herself, to the cold voice without any emotion.
In particular, they were very unhappy with the fact that they interfered with Ouroboros’ plan without knowing the fountain.
at that time.
“Let’s take a look?”
A sharp voice came from the empty space next to her where nothing existed.
“No, you don’t need to.”
Sharin answered naturally, as if she had known it from the beginning.
“I’m going to disappear today anyway.”
Suddenly, murderous intent was shining in her eyes.
“All right. “Then would you like to stop by the branch right away?”
“later. “I have work to do before that.”
Sharin, who had entered the slums on the outskirts of the capital at the sound of the following voice, shook her head and looked ahead.
Soon, her vision began to show a group of five or six thugs coming towards her.

“I think I threw this away too ignorantly. “Didn’t the ring fly away in the explosion?”
A man with impressive scars covering his entire face muttered as he looked at the completely destroyed and burning magic car.
“So I told you to control your strength. Jeff you idiot! “What if I shoot you when we haven’t even completely left the outskirts yet?”
A brown-skinned woman with a sturdy body approached the man and shouted reproachfully.
“No, now was the best time? “If we had waited longer, there might have been a witness nearby!”
The man named Jeff frowned and retorted.
“Leave it alone, has this happened once or twice?”
About a dozen people appeared behind him.
Their identity was none other than one of Ouroboros’ special handling teams.
It was just a special mission, but the actual work was almost an afterthought.
However, their skills were at the top level in their branch.
In the first place, taking on such a special mission was difficult without considerable military force.
“Okay, let’s quickly find the ring and knit it. “Because I don’t want to smell the burnt corpse for a long time.”
Still, he is the leader of the processing team?
At Jeff’s words, the two unit members giggled and approached the smashed horse car.
“uh?”
Soon, doubts appeared in their eyes as they lifted the debris.
“Captain, there’s no body?”
“… … what?”
“I can’t even see a piece of bone.”
Jeff’s eyes were filled with doubt as he heard the unit member’s words.
Even if the impact was severe enough to completely destroy the car body, it was normal for the remains of the occupants to remain.
But what that means is that you can’t see anything like that… … .
at that time.
“There’s no way you can see it.”
A drowsy voice came from behind.
The moment when people’s heads turn towards the direction from which the voice was heard.
Kwasik!
The head of one of the unit members standing at the very back disappeared.
“Because I didn’t get hit in the first place.”
A man slowly appears behind a unit member who falls to the floor with his head missing.
It was Zion.
“What, you were alive? “I guess this was someone who had a knack for hiding it?”
Jeff looks at Shion with an expression of surprise.
There was no anger at all in his voice about losing his unit members.
“… … .”
Shion glanced at the building next to him without answering Jeff’s words.
Inside were Eileen and the driver, who had escaped before the car was destroyed.

‘It doesn’t exceed expectations.’
Sion already knew that this would happen from the moment she won the bid for ‘Breath of the Frost Queen’.
There was no way they would give up on what they were aiming for just because the ‘Ouroboros’ barely won the bid.
Because I knew that fact very well, I deliberately induced this situation.
“You have a ring, right? “If you give it to me now, I will spare your life.”
Jeff smiled at Zion and opened his mouth again.
Even though he had already lost one unit member, his voice was full of confidence.
The attitude that he could kill someone like Shion at any time if he wanted to.
“You talk so much without even having the intention to do so.”
Shion smiled and answered.
In the first place, it was much easier and cleaner for them to kill Shion himself.
There was no reason for them to keep him alive and suffer various consequences.
“Eh? Didn’t you look into my heart? “How did you know?”
Jeff shrugs his shoulders while speaking slyly in response to Shion’s words.
Soon he raised one hand and lightly snapped his fingers.
Woe!
At the same time, bright light burst out from the waists of other members of the widely spread unit and began to form a barrier wide enough to cover them and the entire city of Zion.
Shion looked at the barrier that covered him with interest.
“It looks like you prepared a lot.”
“Oh, you recognize me? It’s a mana blocking barrier. “We are also a bit scared of the ring’s power.”
Could it be that he had a rather thorough personality, contrary to his appearance?
Jeff, who had set up a barrier so that Zion could not use the Frost Queen’s Breath, grinned and gestured toward the other unit members.
Even then, Shion stands still and looks at the barrier and Jeff without any reaction.
“Don’t hold a grudge. Isn’t that how things are in the world? “I just think I’m a bit unlucky.”
It was as if those words were a signal.
Quaaaang!
Jeff’s men fired on Zion.
The speed is so fast that it’s hard to believe it’s pure physical ability without the use of mana.
“Haha! “There will be no pain.”
In an instant, the first unit member came right in front of Zion and struck down a huge sword the size of his own body.
Finally, the moment when such a great sword was about to split the top of Sion’s head.
Tuk-
One of Sion’s fingers slowly rose upward and lightly struck the side of the great sword.
That moment.
Kwazijijik!
A great sword that shatters like a glass cabinet.
“… … !”
The moment when the eyes of the unit member who was staring at him were filled with astonishment.
Quack!
Shion’s opposite fist, fired in darkness, exploded his head.
“what!”
At that incredible sight, a cry of astonishment came from the mouth of a man with a bushy beard who was running behind the curtain.
Phew!
Shion reached right in front of the man in one step and threw out his fist without hesitation.
A hairy man defends himself by quickly pulling his double-edged ax in front of his body.
Whoops!
The man’s ax and Sion’s fist collide, creating a loud roar.
Zion’s fist stops momentarily.
‘I blocked it…’ … !’
The moment a light of relief appeared in the hairy man’s eyes.
Damn it!
With the black star expanding as if exploding, Sion’s fist pierced the man’s ax and extended in a straight line.
Kwasik!
It immediately smashed his head.
Before the man’s body falls to the floor, Zion’s new form, engulfed in darkness, rushes towards the next opponent.
A barrier that blocks mana from being used?
What does that mean?
From the beginning, Sion himself was unable to use mana, and Black Star was also not a power made of mana.
Therefore, it was not affected in any way.
Let’s go!
A brown-skinned woman appeared from behind Zion, brandishing two daggers.
However, as if he had been reading the woman’s movements from the beginning, Shion took a step forward and at the same time lowered his head slightly to avoid the dagger.
At the same time, Zion’s elbow, which naturally rose backwards, aimed at the woman.
Paaang!
The speed was so fast that the woman’s head disappeared without a trace along with the sound of air bursting.
“Shibaal! Attack at the same time!”
One of the unit members, who unconsciously felt fear at the sight of Sion persistently targeting only his head, swore loudly and rushed towards Sion as if to shake off his fear.
Following his cry, the four unit members begin to flock towards Zion from all directions at once.
“Then it’s nice and comfortable for me.”
Shion grinned while looking at them and lightly clenched his raised fist.
Dark sea.
Rangegi, who wiped out waves of poisonous insects in one go during the previous succession ceremony.
At the same time, the sea of darkness that burst out from Zion instantly attacked the charging enemies.
“Kwaaaaaak!”
Because they could not use mana, the unit members were caught up in the waves of darkness and were torn apart.
Bub bub bub!
Shion’s eyes, which made all of the unit members struggling in pain comfortable by popping their heads, immediately begin to chase new prey.
“This, this… … .”
Jeff mutters as he looks at the scene with an incredulous expression.
There was no longer any composure in his eyes.
Kwasik! Kwasik! Kwazizig!
One person per room.
One life is lost in exactly one move.
A truly overwhelming gap.
Unit members who had returned alive from countless hellish missions were dying very easily.
Where on earth did someone like that suddenly appear?
And there was something even more incomprehensible.
“how… … “How can I use mana?”
That darkness burns clearly even within the mana blocking barrier.
It was clearly something that couldn’t be created if one couldn’t manipulate mana.
“I just think I’m a bit unlucky.”
Before we know it, Shion has ended the lives of all unit members and is walking towards Jeff.
The same words he said a moment ago flowed from Zion’s mouth.
But the feeling contained in those words was completely different.
at that time.
Taang!
A gunshot rang out.
Even before the battle began, a sniper hiding from afar pulled the trigger on Sion.
Although it was a non-mainstream weapon that was only recently invented, it is said to be the strongest in battles that do not use mana.
but.
Okay!
The bullet fired from the sniper’s gun stopped in front of Zion’s temple, unable to advance any further.
An alien darkness covering such bullets.
“iced coffee… … .”
The moment when a sob escaped Jeff’s mouth at that despairing sight.
Quack!
With a small gesture of Zion’s hand, pitch-black darkness rose from the sniper’s shadow and engulfed his entire body.
Jerk, jerk.
Shion completes the sniper attack perfectly and walks towards Jeff again.
Jeff’s eyes, as he looked at Zion, began to become filled with despair and fear.
‘How on earth can you kill something like that… … .’
Can’t win.
That is impossible.
‘then… … .’
Jeff, who had finally made a decision, completely removed the almost broken mana blocking barrier and unleashed a previously prepared sword strike towards Sion.
The strongest blow he can currently deliver in an instant.
Kwaaaaang!
Is he really the leader of the special processing unit?
Jeff’s sword collided with Sion’s hand, creating a shock wave unlike any before.
A thick layer of dust rises along with it.
But that was just it.
Zion, who emerged from the dust, was unharmed and without any scratches.
But there was one thing that changed.
Tadadat!
Jeff’s new model, which was right in front of him, was so far away that it could be seen as a dot.
From the beginning, he had used the last blow in order to escape.
“It really doesn’t deviate even an inch.”
Shion grinned as he watched Jeff’s back getting further and further away.
Everything was going as expected.
Tonight, Sion had no intention of ending the hunt like this.
‘If I had, I wouldn’t have even started.’
That’s why I deliberately lured them here, and that’s why I let one person go on purpose.
It would be difficult to make a rational judgment because the killing was shown as cruelly as possible to instill fear.
I’m sure the guy who ran away will guide me to their hidden base.
“It would be good to destroy at least one branch.”
Sion’s languid eyes began to follow Jeff’s dark wedding as he chanted like that.
