I became the youngest prince in the novel Episode 127
Chapter 36 Ouroboros (2)
A branch of the Church of Light within the Imperial Castle.
A woman who appeared to be a priest was kneeling and praying in front of the huge statue of the god of light inside.
The sanctity and piety felt from such a woman proved how great her faith in the God of Light was.
“Hehe, why don’t you take a break and pray a little. Then, if your body gets damaged, wouldn’t the light be sad?”
The woman’s daily behavior was like an example to other priests, to the extent that these words came out of the mouths of the priests she stayed with.
But ironically, the true identity of such a woman was far from that of a priest.
No, it was correct to say that they were polar opposites.
Serkia, the half-demon general.
Because she was one of the five demonic spirits that oversaw all the monsters that had infiltrated the empire.
Due to her characteristics, Serkia was able to use divine power despite being a demon, and thanks to this, she was able to easily infiltrate the Church of Light within the imperial castle.
Therefore, there was no suspicion at all.
Who on earth could think of this?
The leader of the monsters on the other side of the light is using divine power and praying to the God of Light.
but,
“ha… … .”
These days, the word ‘not at all’ has become meaningless.
And that too by just one person.
“driving me crazy.”
Cursing words quietly flowed from Serkiah’s mouth while she was praying.
“That fanatic bastard.”
1st Prince Rubrios Agnes.
She was the only person in the imperial castle, or indeed the entire empire, who doubted her identity.
After meeting in the garden near Chimseong Palace, he was quiet for a while, but recently he has been coming to visit Serkia himself.
Although she was visiting a branch of the Holy Father of Light under the pretext of offering prayers, she could feel Rubrios’ eyes on her every time she came.
‘What on earth do you mean you can’t feel the touch of light?’
I would have understood if I had asked him why he was there at that time.
However, when I suspected that I could not feel the touch of an unknown light, I felt sick to my stomach.
‘It’s not even divine power.’
So I couldn’t figure out how to solve it.
‘I need to contact Utekan once… … .’
Contrary to his seemingly independent personality, Rubrios was persistent.
That’s why I always had my eyes glued to her even when I wasn’t visiting the church.
Because of this, Serkia was unable to move freely and was unable to properly contact the subordinate demons, let alone Utekan.
The most annoying royal family.
Originally, it was Sion Agnes, but recently, her thoughts were slowly leaning towards the first prince.
“Things are getting more and more complicated.”
Since when did this start happening?
The ultimate goal of all the monsters that permeated the empire, including Serkia herself, was simple.
After taking control of the empire in the dark, he throws it into as much chaos as possible.
And at the same time as the full-scale invasion of the demon area, they exploded all at once from the inside and opened a bucket.
‘But they keep being discovered and eliminated before the Great Plan even begins.’
However, it is not possible to compete head-on without the support of the Demon Station.
I couldn’t help but feel frustrated in many ways.
at that time,
– Serkia.
The voice of a subordinate demon came to Serkia’s ears.
It was a method of conveying it all at once in one’s head, rather than through voice.
Seeing that his appearance was not reflected, he seemed to be aware of the eyes of Rubrios nearby.
The demon continued speaking as if he knew she couldn’t answer.
-Diral’s location has been discovered.
“… … !”
At that moment, Serkia’s eyes began to emit a strange light.
* * *
The Ouroboros Central Branch where Sharin May resides.
It had a different character from other branches in the capital.
While other branches were responsible for executing one plan, the central branch was responsible for overseeing all plans.
Therefore, its scale was the second largest after the headquarters, and the level of the members staying there was also incomparably high.
The office on the top floor of the central branch.
“what? “Failed?”
There, Sharin May asked Jansen, the leader of the Red Scorpion unit in front of her.
There was an absurd light in Sharin’s eyes, as if she was dumbfounded.
“… … “Yes, sorry.”
Sharin knew how capable Jansen was as he bowed his head in front of her.
So I didn’t understand it any more.
How on earth can you fail?
Wasn’t the Red Scorpion unit the one who sent not only the target but also other forces around the target?

“Could it be that your goal was to perfectly manipulate the fragments of the Frost Queen’s power?”
The only possibility that exists.
But Jansen shook his head.
“no. The target did not use any of the Frost Queen’s powers.”
“But why… … “Why did you fail?”
With Sharin’s loud cry, the surrounding air trembled as if in sympathy with her anger.
“… … .”
Jansen lowered his head further without answering.
In fact, he had a lot of things he wanted to say, starting with the target’s ridiculous force, but if he said it now, it would be like fueling Sharin’s anger, so he kept his mouth shut.
“You’re not answering?”
“sorry. It’s so much stronger than I thought… … Instead, we captured a person close to our target alive.”
In the end, Jansen turned his attention to Sharin’s irritated interrogation and quickly announced the existence of the woman he had kidnapped.
“People around you?”
“Yes, she is a brown haired woman.”
“… … Is she that girl then?”
As Sharin mumbled like that, the image of the woman next to her when she was talking to the masked target at the old auction house came to mind.
I don’t remember clearly because I wasn’t paying attention at the time, but she also had reddish-brown hair.
“Resume goal tracking and lead the way to her right now. “Because I have to see it for myself.”
Sharin, who was thinking about something for a moment, stood up and spoke to Jansen.
‘It would have been nice if I had brought the target myself… … Since things have already gone wrong, we have no choice but to extract maximum efficiency from the given conditions.’
To that end, rather than taking out his anger on Jansen by holding him responsible for the failure, it was right to focus on the woman he had kidnapped.
‘It doesn’t matter even if it’s not that woman at that time.’
Anyone around the target will likely know some information about the target.
Sharin planned to extract the information herself.
“Okay, this way!”
Jansen hurriedly stood up and began to guide Sharin.
Sharin’s eyes, looking at his back, seemed alive for a moment and then disappeared.
As the situation is the way it is, I’ll let it go for now, but I was definitely planning to take responsibility for it later.
“I’ll go with you too.”
Diral, who was watching from the side, also began to follow them.
Unlike young Sharin’s eyes, which were filled with only irritation and anger, his eyes had an uneasy glow.
‘Why do I feel so bad?’
Of course, Sharin’s plan didn’t work out, but it didn’t really matter to Diral himself.
The reason I came to Ouroboros instead of returning to the monster camp was simply because it looked fun, so it didn’t really matter even if this place was destroyed.
However, the discomfort he felt now was similar to the time when his life was threatened by a red-eyed woman in the old castle.
Diral, who did everything based on interest, also believed that life was precious, so he had no choice but to be more sensitive than usual.
‘Is this a useless feeling?’
There was a high probability of that happening.
At that time, the woman would have been in the imperial castle, and there was no way other variables would have come to see her curled up in silence here.
in between,
“It’s in here.”
Jansen, who was walking ahead, stopped in front of a room with a thick iron door.
At first glance, it was not an ordinary room, but a room used for special purposes such as torture.
“open it.”
Sharin speaks while looking at the door with cold eyes.
Clap!
When Jansen opened the iron door, the room was revealed to be larger than expected.
Torture devices lined up on both walls and a steel chair in the center.
And tied to that chair was a woman with her head covered with a hood.
“We haven’t started the interrogation yet. Would you like to check it out?”
“okay.”
At Sharin’s words, Jansen immediately began walking towards the woman.
‘what?’
Diral’s eyebrows furrowed slightly as he watched the scene from behind.
The face couldn’t be seen because it was covered with a hood, but the overall silhouette looked familiar.
‘For some reason, I feel like I’ve seen this somewhere… … .’
Meanwhile, Jansen, who had come right in front of her, took off the woman’s hood.
That moment,
Sreuk-
Her black hair was flowing and flowing down.
Along with that, bright red eyes slowly reveal themselves.
“… … uh?”
Jansen’s face was filled with doubt as the woman’s eyes and hair color were completely different from before.
“What do you mean, brown hair…?” … .”
The words that flowed from Sharin’s mouth next to him were not even completed.
“You, you!!!!”
A scream-like cry came from the mouth of Diral, who was behind him.
Pointing at the woman with a trembling finger, his face showed an expression of great astonishment that had never been seen before.
It had been a while since I had seen it, but I recognized it right away.
No, it is correct to say that I have never forgotten it.
Why on earth is that being here?
The red-eyed woman who took her arm away from the imperial castle and drove her to the brink of death.
“It’s been a while, huh?”
As she looked at Diral, the corners of the woman’s mouth turned bright red,
“what… … !”
The moment Sharin’s pupils dilated due to the eerie feeling that gave her a shiver, wow!
The entire room began to turn blood red.
And at the same time,
Kwaaaaaaah!
A huge explosion began to be heard from the entrance of the branch.
* * *
“attack! “It’s an attack!”
The explosion was so large that it shook the entire building, and the combat personnel inside the branch started running toward the entrance where the explosion occurred.
All of them had doubts in their eyes.
‘What happened?’
This central branch was one of the most secretly hidden among the many branches of Ouroboros.
In addition, the defensive forces protecting the branch were also densely deployed around the area.
But the entrance suddenly explodes without any warning?
Soon after,
“… … !”
The sight of the entrance to the building completely destroyed and collapsed came into their eyes.
Along with that, gray dust spread in all directions.
The gang members, who were looking at the scene with bewildered eyes, were about to approach the collapsed wreckage to understand the situation.
Jeopuk-
The sound of footsteps coming from the spreading dust.
Although the sound was very quiet, it was clearly heard in the ears of everyone there.
At the same time, people’s heads begin to turn towards the direction from where the footsteps are heard, as if they are possessed.
And at that moment,
Finally, the owner of the footsteps slowly emerged from the dust.
Jerk, jerk.
Gray eyes filled with boredom on an expressionless face.
And naturally, the heterogeneous atmosphere that weighs down the surroundings.
It was Zion.
How blankly I must have looked at Zion walking away like that.
Soon, in the eyes of the gang members who came to their senses, life began to become difficult.
“Kill!”
Dozens of gang members start rushing towards Zion with a short shout.
They didn’t know the identity of the man who broke through the entrance, but that didn’t matter.
The only thing that mattered was that there was an intruder in the secret branch that only Ouroboros could enter, and that they had to eliminate that intruder.
Paaang!
As if they all had outstanding skills, the movement of the gang members was so fast that a wave of energy was created behind them.
Even as he looks at the approaching members of the organization, Shion walks slowly with his eyes still completely calm.
“Where am I!”
Meanwhile, the gang members who had reached Zion in an instant attacked without hesitation.
It was finally the moment when their weapons were about to sink into Zion’s whole body.
Suddenly!
The neck of the gang member who was swinging his sword at Zion at the front was split without any warning.
And before that gang member’s head hits the floor,
Sugagagagagak!
Then, dozens of silver flashes erupted and cut off the heads of all the organization members who were swinging their weapons at Zion.
It’s a very clean sword strike without even a single unnecessary thing.
But it wasn’t Zion’s work.
dump!
As the headless bodies of the organization members fell to the floor, dozens of people appeared around Sion.
They were all wearing black masks with strange expressions.
Twilight Sword.
It was the strongest shadow sword of Ascalon.
“From now on, we will open the way.”
The leader of the Twilight Sword Order, Lucas Ascalon, slightly lowered his head towards Sion and opened his mouth.
Soon, the cold eyes inside his mask turn to the newly appeared members of the Ouroboros organization.
“Don’t let your highness stop his steps.”
With those oath-like words,
Sugagagagagak!
The Twilight Swordsmen immediately rushed to the front and began to move forward, cutting down all the charging members.
A hallway that turns red in an instant.
Jerk, jerk.
Up that hallway, the emperor who had swallowed up the past world walked slowly.
