Became the youngest prince in the novel Episode 9
Chapter 5 Thinning (4)
A forest within the Hwangseong Fortress, a little away from Chimseong Palace.
Alex, a knight who was secretly guarding Chimseong Palace at some distance under orders from Evelyn Agnes, suddenly looked suspiciously at the red light coming from Chimseong Palace.
“What is that?”
The light extends from the training hall and gradually covers the entire palace.
Was it because of the color?
Alex’s eyebrows furrowed slightly at the ominous feeling of that light.
“I do not know. It looks like magic… … “I don’t think there was an attack.”
The adjutant who was listening to Alex’s words next to him responded while listening to the sound coming from the palace.
If an attack had occurred, various battle sounds, including the sound of weapons clashing, should have been heard, but none of them were heard.
“hmm… … Should I report it?”
Therefore, Alex was also hesitant to report to the higher-ups.
It was a report that reached the ears of the ‘Lion Princess’.
I didn’t want to bother him with useless information.
But his thoughts were soon changed by a sound he heard.
Kkkkkk!
An eerie sound that feels as if the lung itself is being cut out.
Would demons crawling up from hell make this sound?
Alex, shaking his hands slightly at the instinctive repulsion he felt, opened his mouth to the adjutant.
“Notify the higher-ups right away.”
“All right.”
The adjutant must have thought he couldn’t waste time and immediately lowered his head and ran.
Alex, who looked at the back of the adjutant for a moment, also began moving towards Chimseong Palace.

Red enemy camp.
The effect of this magic circle, which Shion completed with Priscilla, was simple.
It allows you to reveal the true appearance of the ‘enemy’ within a certain range.
Two years later, before a full-scale war broke out, humans had already developed this magic circle to weed out the countless ‘enemies’ among themselves, and it was very effective.
Wow.
Zion, who was looking at the red line and the gathered people, opened his mouth to Priscilla, who was looking confused next to him.
“I need your blood.”
“… … yes?”
Starting with the magic circle, Priscilla questioned Shion, who was making incomprehensible noises, but Shion did not answer.
“One drop is enough.”
I just look ahead with my eyes shining.
Priscilla shook her head a couple of times and slightly cut the tip of her finger, letting a drop of blood fall into the center of the magic circle.
That moment.
Kkkkkkk!
A horrifying sound coming from where the servants were gathered.
When Priscilla takes a step back due to instinctive rejection.
“found.”
A low voice came out of Zion’s mouth.
What is reflected in Zion’s eyes is Baren, the deputy chieftain of Chimseong Palace.
No, it was originally Varen, and it was screaming with a look that no longer seemed human.
Tentacles exploding from the entire body and arms and legs twisting grotesquely.
“Well, what is that…” … “What is it?”
“enemy.”
Shion gave a short answer to Priscilla’s question, who was dumbfounded by the musical instruments emitting from the monster.
That was the true ‘enemy’ of the Flosimar Chronicles of Heroes, including humanity.
Monster.
It refers to all beings residing in the demon realm, such as demons, demons, and evil people, and is a being that exudes hostility toward all living creatures except demons.
The person who served the devil and destroyed the world.
‘It was here too.’
The monsters in the Flosimar Chronicles were very meticulous beings.
Decades before the war, he hid into the world under the orders of the Demon King and slowly ate away at humanity.
The monsters’ methods were very sophisticated, so humans were swayed by them and killed each other without realizing it until just before the war.
In the end, humanity chose the path of self-destruction and the world was destroyed.
‘One at the lower level.’
Shion thought as he looked at the monster that revealed its true form.
Since Chimseong Palace was a place with almost no influence in the first place, only one low-level demon was probably planted there.
No, it is true that we should be surprised at the meticulousness of the demonic power that planted the demons in such a place.
Hehehe!
At that time, the monster that was screaming began to rush straight towards Priscilla.
“Why, why me… … !”
Unlike her expression of embarrassment, Shion begins to glow in the darkness calmly.
It was planned that the monster would attack her.
Her blood, called demon blood, was like a heavenly elixir to monsters.

One year from now, Priscilla is in a state where she cannot live or die after being kidnapped by demons due to the demonic blood flowing in her body, so they supply her with blood.
That’s why she was called the ‘Princess of Misfortune’.
If Priscilla’s blood is mixed, the effect of the search force, which can usually only detect low-level monsters, will be maximized and it will be able to detect even mid-level monsters.
So there was no way that a low-level monster could hide its identity.
Wow!
A monster that runs towards Priscilla while ignoring everyone around it.
“Protect His Highness the Prince and Priscilla!”
The knights who came to their senses belatedly quickly blocked the monster’s path.
Sugagagagagak!
It wasn’t enough.
Dozens of tentacles sprouting from the monster moved at incredible speeds and cut down the entire bodies of the knights.
“Oh, the sword!”
“Aaaah!”
It didn’t even take one minute for all the knights who rushed in to die or become incapable of fighting.
That was a monster.
Even the lower classes are monsters with overwhelming power that cannot be compared to humanity.
‘The Demon Station is full of guys like that.’
Shion raised the corner of his mouth thinking that and slowly stamped his foot.
At the same time, the image of Zion seemed to melt into the darkness that came after the sun set.
Slurp-
It appeared right in front of the monster.
Certainly, unlike those he had faced so far, the monster immediately recognized Zion and moved its tentacles.
Tentacles shooting towards Zion’s vital points with terrifying cutting power.
Kwa-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-gak!
Zion’s whole body was pierced by that.
“Si, Your Highness Sion!”
The moment Fredo, who was watching the scene from behind, shouted urgently.
Susss-
The pierced image of Zion dispersed as if it were melting into water.
Almost at the same time, Shion appears again from behind the monster.
It seemed like darkness was forming on Zion’s hands.
Quad deuk!
One of the monster’s tentacles was pulled out.
A monster that screams in pain and twists its body.
Meanwhile, Shion, who had carelessly thrown away the tentacles he had pulled out, continued to extend his hands towards the exposed vital parts of the monster.
Grumble!
The monster, which instinctively sensed danger, raised its neck and gathered all its tentacles to defend against Sion’s attack.
Thick demonic energy rising on the tentacles of such a monster.
But the moment Zion’s hand touches it.
“… … !”
The demonic energy disappeared as if it had been washed away.
As if it never existed from the beginning.
Kwazijic!
Shion’s hand easily shattered the defenses of the monster, whose eyes had widened in shock, and pierced one of the monster’s hearts.
Wow!
‘You had two hearts, right?’
Zion’s eyes do not stop there and immediately search for the next heart.
At that time, the demon came to its senses and desperately gathered all of its remaining demon energy and released it all at once to the outside.
Toukwaang!
Shion widens the distance to avoid the explosion of magical energy because he has not yet been able to destroy this much magical energy at once.
As a result, the monster took a moment to catch its breath and glared at Shion.
“… … how.”
Slurred human language flowing from what is thought to be the mouth of a monster.
20 years.
It was 20 years.
There was a time when monsters hid in the human world and were here at Chimseong Palace.
This has never happened before.
Nothing similar happened.
Stupid humans did not recognize his identity and he thought they would continue to do so.
however… … .
“Well, what is the magic circle?”
The moment I saw the red light leaking from that magic circle, the desire to take off the human skin I was wearing arose without my knowledge.
And the moment when Princess Priscilla drops her blood on top of it.
He lost his senses.
The only thing that filled his mind was his thirst for Priscilla’s blood.
What’s even more incomprehensible is this.
“And what is that power?”
A darkness that extinguishes demonic energy without a trace the moment it touches it.
I have never seen or heard anything like that since I was born.
And I couldn’t believe that all of this was done by Prince Zion, who I had been watching for over 10 years.
“who are you.”
The man standing before his eyes is definitely not Prince Shion.
That was the conclusion the monster reached.
“Your enemy.”
“… … what?”
There was doubt in the monster’s eyes at Shion’s abrupt answer, but that doubt did not last long.
Because Zion’s new form, which moved along with those words, came right in front of me in an instant through the darkness.
Kiaaa!
The monster, which gathered all its tentacles together to form a giant drill, let out a roar and launched it towards Sion.
Perhaps because he instinctively realized that it was the last time, the attack was on a completely different level than before.
‘At this level, I can break through that darkness…’ … .’
But at that moment, Zion’s hand, which had been moving forward and destroying everything until now, underwent a strange change.
Shion’s hand gently digs under the monster’s tentacle drill, which shoots out like a snake swimming in water.
The moment when Shion’s hand moves at a strange angle and is gently lifted.
Tooung!
The monster’s tentacle drill soared upward as if struck by lightning.
“how… … !”
Shion, who immediately dug into the gap that was revealed, reaches out without hesitation towards the heart he found a moment ago.
Kwasik!
A resonating sound.
The last thing the monster saw, with its two hearts shattered and its life dying out, was Sion’s eyes bent as if in joy, and a black star circling within them.
‘It might have been difficult if Black Star had not reached 1 star.’
Monster species that hide in the human world do not leave a body so as not to leave traces even when they die.
That’s why Shion thought as he watched the corpse of the monster gradually disappearing.
strong.
The first monster I faced was very strong.
If the lower class is like this, then how are the guys above them?
So I was even more excited.
The stronger the opponent and the higher the wall, the more interested Zion felt.
‘I think it was probably like this.’
Shion looked at the corpse like that for a moment, then raised his hand and stabbed it into the neck of the monster that had not yet disappeared.
Quack!
Then the sound of something breaking is heard.
The devil takes two measures against monsters hiding in the human world.
One of them was the disappearance of corpses that is happening now, and the other was the transmission of information.
The moment a monster dies, all the information it has seen and heard so far is transmitted to the demon realm, and Zion has just destroyed the core responsible for that transmission.
“what happened… … “Did it happen?”
A trembling voice was heard in Shion’s ears as he finished it perfectly.
When Zion turned his head, he saw Priscilla looking at him with shaking eyes.
Not only that, but the images of knights with pale faces and servants sitting on the floor due to damage to their souls from demonic energy were also coming in.
An expression that makes it impossible to understand what happened.
“More than that, that thing that just disappeared… … .”
Priscilla seemed to have been unable to bear the question and was about to open her mouth to Sion again.
Quang!
“Your Highness Zion!”
A group of knights rushed into the training hall, throwing open the outer gate as if to break it down.
Knights with a level of prayer so high that they cannot even be compared to the knights at Chimseong Palace.
These are probably the guard knights that Evelyn secretly posted near Chimseong Palace after her last visit.
Among them, a man who appeared to be the leader of the knights realized that the work had already been completed and approached Sion and bowed his head.
“Greetings. Your Majesty Zion. My name is Alex from the White Lion Knights. “May I ask what happened?”
Shion, who was looking at Alex with incomprehensible thoughts, slowly opened his mouth.
“Nothing.”
“… … yes?”
“We just weeded out the enemies.”
Alex’s eyes grew suspicious, but Zion’s mouth did not open anymore.
‘Not yet.’
It couldn’t be revealed yet.
If this fact becomes known, the hidden monsters will delve deeper into the shadows.
‘That doesn’t work.’
Until you hunt them all yourself.
Thinking like that, Zion’s eyes were directed to Baekseong Palace, which appeared as a dot in the distance.
