Became the youngest prince in the novel Episode 6
Chapter 3 Hunting Night (2)
“The attack… … !”
Kwasik!
Before he could finish speaking, a dagger was stuck in the knight’s mouth.
“What are they doing…?” … “Gagging!”
The assassins’ weapon that eventually took the breath away of even the knights who followed them.
The assassins who killed the three knights of Chimseong Palace in an instant emerged from the darkness and pushed the bodies to one side.
Unlike those known in the world to go alone, assassins also preferred to work in groups to ensure the death of their enemies.
“Did you know we were coming?”
Assassin No. 18 muttered as he looked at the iron plates placed on the necks and hearts of the knights whose lives had been cut off.
Not only that, there were twice as many knights on night watch as the information received, and they were even patrolling in groups of three instead of groups of two.
Even if we had been more thoroughly prepared due to previous raids, this was a strange situation.
It seemed like they clearly knew they were going to attack.
“It’s an attack!”
“Unite and prepare!”
As evidence of this, although it was only a short period of time, cries were already echoing throughout the palace.
‘But nothing changes.’
After all, from the beginning, they had come with the intention of erasing all life in the palace.
And it also had a lot of power.
It was already too late to call it an assassination, but it was all that was necessary as long as the goal was achieved.
‘If we go up like this, erasing from the bottom… … hmm?’
Thinking like that, No. 18 looked around at his team members, and a doubt appeared in his eyes.
Obviously, the initially assigned group members were seven, excluding myself.
But he could only see six people.
“Where did one go? He clearly said that acting alone was prohibited… … .”
at that time.
Self-
A strange sound came to No. 18’s ears.
An eerie yet strange sound, like a snake crawling on the floor.
The moment when No. 18 and the other assassins unconsciously turned their heads in the direction from which the sound came.
Kwasik!
This time, a sound like something being smashed was heard from the exact opposite side of where the sound was coming from.
In the eyes of No. 18, who turned his head in that direction again.
“… … !”
An assassin who had been there a moment ago was seen falling to the floor with his head missing.
“What is this… … !”
The assassins’ eyes are filled with confusion.
But their perplexity did not last long.
“stop.”
Is it because he had countless experiences of being deployed in combat?
Number 18 quickly grasped the current situation and gave instructions to the remaining assassins.
“Do not move forward any further and be alert to your surroundings.”
Moving with an enemy who had not yet appeared was tantamount to suicide.
Close the gap between each other and compensate for blind spots in vision.
As if they were used to this, the assassins quickly formed a formation.
The silence that follows along with it.
That silence also contained great tension.
It was an enemy who assassinated two people in an instant, avoiding their attention.
The moment I relaxed even a little, I could have lost my life.
‘There are no blind spots in vision. At this rate, at least we won’t lose any more trillions… … hmm?’
At that time, something strange caught No. 18’s eyes.
darkness.
At the end of his field of vision, darkness was strangely stirring.
As if he were alive.
Even though he was already accustomed to darkness, this was the first time he had ever seen such an alien darkness.
When No. 18 was looking at such darkness as if possessed.
The darkness laughed.
It didn’t make sense for the darkness to laugh, but it certainly made sense to say it was laughing.
At that moment, goosebumps appeared all over No. 18’s body without realizing it.
Right!
A strange sound was heard from behind.
Number 18 quickly turned his head with an ominous feeling in his eyes.
Drop, drop, drop!
The mouth of a pitch-black beast made entirely of darkness appeared, chewing the upper body of one of the assassins.
Let’s go!
The assassins around him quickly swung their swords, but the beast’s mouth had already disappeared, and in its place was the corpse of the assassin, with only the lower body remaining.
“what… … .”

A tired voice came out of the mouth of another assassin who saw this.
Along with that, anxiety and fear quickly spread among the assassins.
I couldn’t figure out its identity at all.
No, they weren’t even sure if the enemy they were dealing with was human.
“Come to your senses!”
Co-pilot number 27 noticed the growing anxiety and shouted loudly.
“Yes, it’s just one guy. Next attack… … !”
But his words did not last until the end.
Quack!
Because the head was already gone before that.
“Ugh, ugh!”
And the appearance of No. 27 raised the assassins’ anxiety and fear to the maximum.
The assassins, unable to make the right decision, simply start running away to get out of the place.
They were assassins who would choose to fight rather than run away even if they were directly faced with a force they could not handle, but that was only when they recognized who their opponent was.
An unknown enemy whose form is not even known.
The feeling of fear as such an enemy devoured my comrades one by one was beyond imagination.
‘I’ve never heard of a guy like that being inside Chimseong Palace.’
Since the situation was already out of his control, No. 18 broke into a cold sweat as he left the scene like the other assassins.
“Kwaaaak!”
“Save me… … “Ugh!”
The screams of assassins were constantly coming from behind him, as if they had no intention of hiding anything anymore.
hunt.
Now they were being hunted.
They were also subjected to assassination, which was their specialty.
The screams get closer and closer despite running at full speed.
“Ugh… … .”
And finally, the moment when all the screams coming from behind stopped.
No. 18 was visible.
Sssss.
The darkness that was smiling at you just moments ago appeared before your eyes.
“who are you… … “Who is it!”
As if in response to No. 18’s crushing cry, the shimmering darkness cleared like a curtain, and a man appeared within it.
Gray hair and a thin build.
And the eyes are so quiet that they are drowsy.
“… … !”
No. 18’s eyes begin to fill with astonishment upon seeing such a man.
Zion Agnes.
The prince imprisoned here in Chimseong Palace and their goal.
“how how… … .”
The same words were flowing out of No. 18’s mouth over and over again, as if he was greatly shocked by the fact that it was Sion who had been hunting them all this time.
‘I must inform you.’
The world didn’t know.
What kind of person is Prince Sion, whom they ignored and looked down on?
No. 18’s goal was no longer to assassinate Shion.
The plan was to get out of here and report this to his group.
Tadat!
The moment that thought occurred to No. 18, without hesitation, he turned back and ran at full speed.
No, I tried to run.
“I guess I’ll let at least one guy go… … .”
Number 18 was able to see Sion’s low voice in his ears.
“Not you.”
The sight of his headless body jumping forward and then falling.
‘It’s definitely better in practice.’
Shion thought as she looked at the corpses of the assassins.
Black Star’s level was rising faster in today’s actual battle than in recent training.
Because he knew that fact in advance, Sion did not avoid battle, but rather enjoyed it.
“Stop it!”
“Where is His Highness the Prince? We must find it and protect it!”
Kagang! Kagagak!
The sounds of intense fighting can be heard from all over Chimseong Palace.
‘It will be finished soon.’
Hearing these sounds meant that the knights in the palace were fighting back rather than being unilaterally attacked.
If Shion himself went around and gave his strength, it was only a matter of time before things were sorted out.
at that time.
Quagwagwagwang!
A noise different from before was heard in Zion’s ears.
The sound of something exploding rather than simply clashing cold weapons against each other.
Was there a wizard in the palace for a while? As Shion thought this, a light of understanding appeared in his eyes.
‘I forgot.’
With that thought, Shion’s body began to sink into the darkness again.
Dark current.
Black Star’s basic movement technique.
The Black Star was essentially a heterogeneous force that did not fit in with anything else, but it was closer to darkness than light.
Therefore, he was more familiar with darkness and had many related abilities.
As if riding a wave, Shion quickly moved towards the direction from where the sound came and looked at the scene where the battle was taking place.
“What are you guys doing? “How can you think of attacking the imperial palace!”
Quagwagwagwang!
Every time Priscilla, with an angry expression, makes a hand sign, magic pours out and the surroundings are dyed red.
The flowing connection between attack and defense clearly showed that she was an outstanding mage who was coveted by many magic towers.
Even in Shion’s eyes, Lee Chae looks a little young.
but.
Let’s go!
The assassins fighting Priscilla were also not easy.
Among those who attacked Chimseong Palace today, she seemed to have the best skills and did not lose an inch against her.
No, on the contrary, they were gradually gaining victory.
“Ugh!”
A painful moan comes out of Priscilla’s mouth as attacks come through the gaps in her magic.
The number of scratches increasing on her body.
And finally.
“this… … !”
When one of the assassins breaks through her magic and plunges his sword straight into her heart.
Zion moved.
One step.
Shion took a single step and moved between Priscilla and the assassin and slowly extended his hand forward.
Okay!
An assassin’s sword whose trajectory is distorted by the darkness that flows through Sion’s hands.
Zion did not miss the gap that was revealed.
Kwasik!
The heart of an assassin is shattered in an instant.
“who… … ?”
Priscilla’s eyes were filled with doubt.
Before the assassin’s body with its heart shattered fell to the ground, Zion’s new form moved through the darkness toward the other assassins.
Kwazik, kwazik, kwazizik!
One life in exactly one move.
It is impossible to block or avoid it.
It was no longer a battle.
It was just a massacre.
‘It’s a failure.’
Number 4, who was watching the scene from behind with a tired expression, had an instinctive intuition.
Even a wizard with such outstanding skills didn’t expect it.
That unknown person, who was massacring high-level assassins in the assassination group with darkness wrapped around his body like a veil, was the cause of this failure.
The fact that the assassins who had infiltrated other places were quickly wiped out was probably the author’s fault.
‘I never thought there would be such a being in Chimseong Palace, which was thought to be an abandoned place.’
variable.
That was a variable large enough to single-handedly upset the situation itself.
Jerk, jerk.
Number 4, who had already taken care of all the assassins and was looking at Shion who was walking towards him with shaking eyes, seemed to bend his knees.
Whilick!
I threw myself towards the window at the back, not towards Zion.
He chose flight rather than battle.
“… … .”
Zion did not chase after No. 4 and took away the darkness surrounding him.
“Zion… … “Prince?”
Priscilla, who saw Shion’s appearance revealed as a result, let out a voice of astonishment, but Shion did not respond.
All he could do was look at No. 4, who was moving away at high speed, and a long black thread stretching behind him, connecting his fingers.
Dark Soul Death (暗魂絲).
This thread, which only Sion could see, was one of the Black Star’s techniques, and once connected, it was a tracking technique that allowed the location of the target to be known within a certain range.
This hermit will guide you to their home base.
‘I’ll leave soon.’
From the time she became aware of her surroundings until now, Sion has never once spared the enemies who tried to kill her.
When Baek targets him, he rips Cheon to pieces, and when Cheon targets him, he rips out Man’s head.
Thoroughly ensure that no variables exist.
This life was no exception.
A black star spinning clearly within Zion’s eyes, emitting a languid light.
It showed that the Black Star had finally entered the first star.
