I became the youngest prince in the novel Episode 22
Chapter 8: Succession Ceremony (3)
“Huh, huh!”
A huge maze that exists on the third floor of the Palace of Qualifications.
Lynette was running along the curved road, breathing heavily.
Her eyes are filled with embarrassment.
Lynette was constantly looking back as if she was running away from something.
“Something is wrong.”
She felt it from the moment she arrived on the first exam floor.
Hundreds of thousands of poisonous insects flock to you as soon as you enter.
That was by no means the level of testing that would be applied to a succession ceremony.
If it weren’t for her ‘assimilation’ skill that hides all traces from the opponent, she would have melted without even leaving behind any bones.
And Lynette’s suspicions were confirmed from the moment she went up to the next floor.
-Keuuu!
The Death Knight rushed towards her with a roar.
It was surprising that there were undead in the middle of the castle, but what was even more surprising was the strength of the Death Knight beyond imagination.
Lynette ran away without even thinking about fighting as her entire body was covered in death energy, clearly showing how outstanding a knight she had been in life.
“Kwaaaaaak!”
“Too strong… … Argh!”
“What on earth is this…?” … “Gagging!”
In her ears, she heard the screams of other participants coming from beyond the walls of the maze.
‘Could it be that the succession ceremony that has taken place so far was like this?’
No, that couldn’t have been possible.
This was because it only seemed to anyone that the intention was to kill all the participants.
A succession ceremony that is by no means normal.
How far did he run to avoid the Death Knight chasing him?
“crazy!”
A curse filled with embarrassment flowed from Lynette’s mouth.
A wide space visible in front of her.
Because four Death Knights were waiting for her in that space.
No, to be exact, I wasn’t waiting.
‘What are you fighting?’
The Death Knights she couldn’t even handle were fighting against just one person.
And that person is.
“Zion… … “Prince?”
It was Zion.
Prince Zion fights against the Death Knights with his entire body covered in ominous darkness.
Prince Sion was not pushed back even an inch.
‘No, it’s not that I can’t be pushed around. Rather, we are on the verge of victory. How on earth… … .’
Her eyes slowly fell into Sion’s movements against the Death Knight.
Yep! Damn it!
It’s not flashy, but it’s precise.
And it’s weird.
Not even a single gesture or toe movement was meaningless.
The darkness swirls around Zion as if watching a dance.
Kwasizik, Kwasizik!
Every time darkness passed, a huge amount of effective damage was being inflicted on the Death Knights without fail.
A movement that goes beyond natural and is even beautiful.
‘I can’t see how it moves at all.’
This did not mean that the movement itself was not visible.
Even though I saw the movement, I couldn’t understand the principle.
Just as animals living on the ground cannot tell what the stars are when they see them.
“I’ve been hiding my skills all this time.”
That was the only thing that made sense.
That level of military power and the expertise of having participated in hundreds of battlefields could never have been created in a day or two.
I was being deceived.
Everyone in the world, including Hwangseong, was being deceived by that man.
In order to achieve his goal, he endured so much cruel persecution and humiliation, but never once showed his strength, and his terrible state of mind was appalling.
‘For what purpose… … .’
When Lynette looks at the battle in fascination with such a misunderstanding.
‘It’s an undead, so even if you hit it half-heartedly, it won’t die. It has to be completely destroyed.’
Zion was slowly preparing to end this battle.
Stormy night.
An attack that completely erases the opponent’s buff as one of Black Star’s skills.
It was the storm of darkness that started from Zion’s feet a little while ago, and the storm completely blew away the energy of death that covered the Death Knight.
After that, Seunggi was also leaning in this direction, but Shion had no intention of wasting any more time.
-descent… … That’s right.
As he looked at the Death Knights who were gradually regaining their senses and saying one or two words at a time, Sion tightly clenched his right hand.

Quad deud deuk!
Along with that, the Black Star condenses into the Fist of Zion.
Perhaps sensing that the power coming from him was unusual, the Death Knights attacked from different directions at the same time and swung their weapons at Zion.
However, since Shion had seen all such movements with his bright eyes from the beginning, he did not panic and began to respond immediately.
Whoa!
The halberd of one of the Death Knights passed right over the head of Sion, who took a big step forward and lowered his head.
Zion doesn’t stop at just dodging, but immediately dives into the arms of the Death Knight wielding the halberd.
Quaaaang!
Behind Zion, attacks from other Death Knights who narrowly missed the attack shatter the floor.
As if he had been through numerous battles in his lifetime, the Death Knight immediately threw away his halberd, pulled out a dagger from his waist, and swung it towards the rushing Sion.
Kiiiiing!
The energy of death gathers with the Death Knight’s dagger and creates another blade.
Even as he watched the dagger being swung towards him, Shion actually increased the speed of digging even further.
The moment the Death Knight’s dagger approached Sion’s neck.
Bullfight!
Shion’s fist came up from below and struck the dagger face.
The dagger’s trajectory was distorted by the impact and it slightly scratched Sion’s neck.
Meanwhile, the fist on the other side of Zion, where the Black Star was concentrated at its peak.
Quad deuk!
It pierced the Death Knight’s armor and chest all at once.
The Black Star that explodes from Zion’s fist stuck in his chest begins to consume all the magical energy that exists within the Death Knight.
Even if they are undead who have been resurrected from death, they are ultimately beings born through necromantic magic.
Therefore, if you erase the magical power that is its source, death is the same.
thud!
The Death Knight lays down on the ground, the light disappearing from his eyes like a lamp whose power source has become enlarged.
at that time.
-For me too… … Glorious… … Death!
Behind Zion, a Death Knight struck with his great sword at a speed that was incomparable to before.
A blow so powerful that it can easily destroy even a sized building.
“I’ll accept it.”
Did he get excited?
Until now, such a blow would have been avoided or avoided, but this time, Shion did not do so.
The owner of the Black Star extends one hand toward the approaching great sword with a small smile on his lips.
“Up, danger… … !”
A huge sword wrapped in the embodied energy of death and bare hands without any energy.
The sight seemed so dangerous to Shion that a voice came out from Lynette’s mouth, who was hiding and watching.
Zion’s hand and great sword finally collide.
However, the results turned out to be completely different from Lynette’s expectations.
Kwajijijijik!
Zion’s hand easily smashes the great sword and blows off the Death Knight’s head all at once.
In Zion’s hands, the power to deny everything, the Black Star, was suddenly shaped like an awl.
Sion, who destroyed the two Death Knights in an instant, immediately rushed towards the Death Knight holding a spear.
The darkness stretches behind Zion.
Its appearance was like that of a reaper.
Tooung! Kwazijijik!
As for the third Death Knight, Sion simply reverses the direction of the attack by striking the spear, then digs in and finishes with a single blow.
Death Knights who were hit by the same pattern were not weak.
Zion was so incredible that he was able to complete that pattern without any error.
Kwaaaaang!
“Whoa… … .”
Soon after, Shion, who had destroyed the last remaining Death Knight in an instant, caught his breath and glanced at Lynette who was hiding.
‘Bad luck.’
All collaterals who participated in this succession ceremony, including that woman, were unlucky.
All of the ridiculous things that are happening in the palace of qualifications are all aimed at killing Shion herself.
They’re just caught up in it.
But that didn’t mean I had any intention of helping.
Participating in the succession ceremony in the first place was their choice.
Besides that.
‘We have to finish this first.’
Thinking like that, Shion raised his head upward.
‘They’ who are watching all of this from somewhere hope that Shion himself dies while taking the test in this palace of qualifications.
Therefore, Zion had no intention of moving as they wanted.
And finally.
“It would be better to smash the head.”
The moment when a small voice comes out of Zion’s mouth.
Sreuk-
Zion’s new form disappeared without a trace on the spot.
* * *
“What on earth is this…?” … !”
On the 9th floor of the Palace of Qualifications, there is a control room that can control all other exams along with the exam.
It was in such a control room that Lambard, the general overseer of the succession ceremony, was now located.
Numerous screens fill the walls of the control room.
Those screens reflected the entire palace of qualifications without exception.
However, there was confusion in Lambard’s eyes as he looked at the screen.
Because the most important character was not captured properly on screen.
No, the signal was being picked up.
But that signal… … .
4th, 5th, 6th floor… … .
It was soaring upward, breaking through the floors at an incredible speed.
A speed that makes absolutely no sense, and can only be reached by passing through the floors in a straight line.
Could there be an error in the magic equipment that sends the signal?
Zion Agnes.
The protagonist of this succession ceremony, and the person who must be killed at all costs.
‘Things are going wrong.’
Lambard felt that way from the moment Prince Sion entered the first floor of the test.
In fact, all of the supervisors, including Lambard, had thought about it.
Prince Shion will die without even passing the first test.
Because Prince Sion was the one with abilities worse than that of an ordinary person, let alone a low-level knight.
Even if he had been really, really lucky and had survived, he would have died right on the second floor.
The trap they planned was originally created based on the assumption that the current direct royal family would be armed during the succession ceremony.
However, Prince Sion shattered all of their expectations.
‘I’ve never seen or heard of such power.’
The darkness that burns away all the waves of poisonous insects.
The sight of Prince Zion walking slowly, scattering such darkness, was so overwhelming that it gave me goosebumps just by looking at it on the screen.
And it was in the second layer of the test that the supervisors’ astonishment reached its peak.
Death Knights are made from the corpses of knights so powerful that even they themselves cannot guarantee victory in a one-on-one match.
Prince Sion took on four such Death Knights at once and achieved a perfect victory.
That was absolutely not the appearance of Sion Agnes, who was called the imprisoned prince.
No, let alone the imprisoned prince, there has never been a prince or princess who left such a strong impression in any succession ceremony Lambard had ever seen.
“What happened? Has Agnes’ blood finally awakened? Or was he hiding his powers? Then, since when… … .”
Lambard held his head in confusion.
Everything I had planned was going wrong.
If he fails, he and all the supervisors will fall out of favor with him.
If that were to happen, there was only one outcome left.
‘We have to figure it out somehow. If things don’t work out, we can take action!’
Lambard quickly gathered his thoughts and asked the wizard manipulating the screen in the control room.
“How far did Prince Shion’s signal come?”
But there was no answer from the wizard.
“Cardo, aren’t you asking where I am? Why is there no answer… … .”
That was the moment when Lambard nervously called out the wizard’s name again and asked.
“You mean him?”
An unfamiliar yet familiar voice.
A voice that should never be heard here and now.
After stopping speaking, Lambard’s head slowly turns towards the direction from which the voice was heard.
Soon after.
Tuk, degurrr.
With the wizard’s head rolling on the floor in his eyes.
The figure of Sion, smiling in this direction, came in.
