I Became the Younges Chapter 33: Shadow of Eternity (2)

Chapter 33: Shadow of Eternity (2)

"Why did he even ntion he'd bring

along if he was going alone?"

In the Chimseong Palace, left by Zion, Liushina grumbled, staring at the dark window.

She was upset that Zion hadn't taken her with him to et the 'Eternal Shadow'.

She was anxious about potential problems.

"I bet Prince Zion had good reasons, don't you think, Miss Liushina?"

Fredo, who had walked up to Liushina, answered her complaints.

"Shina."

"Yes?"

"Just call

Shina, not Liushina."

Liushina, still gazing out the window, spoke her mind.

Even after two hundred years, so might rember her na and link it to her.

This could cause trouble, so she was being careful.

"Sure, Miss Shina."

Maybe it was Fredo’s unquestioning reply that made her curious.

Liushina turned towards the knight and asked,

"Don't you wonder about ?"

All Fredo knew was her na and that she had magic.

But he didn't seem to question Liushina or Zion, who had brought her.

"Prince Zion had a tough ti. He was alone in this Chimseong Palace since he was a kid. Nobody stood by him or helped."

A hint of sadness ca into the knight's eyes.

He had watched Zion from afar for years and knew how hard Zion's life had been.

His life had been worse than a naless country noble's.

"Miss Shina, you ca to this dreadful royal palace to help Prince Zion. And he brought you in himself. That's enough for ."

Fredo’s face had a small smile as he spoke.

"You're very loyal to your master."

Liushina laughed at his words and looked back out the window.

How many people would trust soone so blindly, just because their master brought them?

She thought the knight had been wrong before.

Zion always had soone by his side.

The Eternal Emperor founded the 'Eternal Shadow' when he established the Agnes Empire.

Emperor Aurelion Khan Agnes wanted his secret 'eye'.

So, he created the Shadow to watch the world from behind the Empire forever.

And soday, if the Empire was in danger, he wanted the Shadow to show its worth.

The Eternal Shadow faithfully followed the Emperor's wishes.

Knowledge is power.

So, even though it held great power, the Eternal Shadow never showed itself to the world.

It worked unseen, showing itself only to each new Emperor.

But now, Thierry, the current leader of the Eternal Shadow, thought of breaking these rules.

Because the Empire was close to ruin.

'The Demonic Realm.'

They had tricked even the eyes of the Shadows that watched the world. Over decades, they had slowly, too slowly, moved into the human world.

When the Eternal Shadow found out, Emperor Urdios had already cut them off.

Since then, the Eternal Shadow focused only on finding the demons that had co into the imperial palace, stopping all other work.

But it wasn't going well.

There was no way to connect with the Emperor again.

'Because that would show the Demonic Realm even the Shadows exist.'

So Thierry waited.

For a chance to beat this problem, and for the demons to show a weakness.

The one who sought the Shadow in this ti was Zion Agnes.

'He says the Emperor sent him, but there's too much that's strange.'

From the creepy power he had, to his sudden changes, and the total flip in his personality.

On top of that, Thierry knew that Zion Agnes's body couldn't take mana.

Was a demon wearing Zion Agnes' face and taking his place?

Or was he really the key the Emperor sent to beat this crisis?

To find out, Thierry watched Prince Zion face the trap he had set from the other side of a magic wall. Several other Shadow leaders were there with him.

If they watched together, they could make the right choice.

'If he's pushed hard enough, he'll have to use all his hidden power.'

Whether it's magic or sothing else.

Soon, they would know the real Prince Zion.

With this thought, Thierry's eyes narrowed.

"This is fun."

Zion laughed as he dodged the swords falling on him, just as Thierry's presence totally faded.

He hadn't missed this.

Even if Zion was the Shadow's leader, he would have acted the sa way.

Telling an enemy the Shadow's identity and location without understanding them fully was like suicide.

Whizz!

Zion pulled a sword from the ground with a chanical noise and looked at the knights turning to face him.

No, they were not knights.

They were magic golems that looked like knights.

They were the peak of today's summoning magic, with magic circles covering their whole bodies.

'This is better.'

Zion started to understand the space he was in, as darkness spread all around him and he pulled up the Black Star.

He didn't understand why the Eternal Shadows used magical golems, but it made his work easier.

The Black Star cancels all that exists in the world.

If he used that power to stop the magic flowing inside the golems rushing at him, they would stop working by themselves.

Whizz!

In a mont, one of the golems that had co close, quickly swung a sword at Zion.

A simple but incredibly quick movent, impossible for a human.

The speed was so fast it was hard to see.

However, Zion's body was already moving as if he knew where the golem's swing would go, just missing it.

Swoosh!

The sword barely cut Zion's cheek.

From there, Zion stepped forward, into the golem's space, and reached out his hand.

Tock.

Zion's finger lightly touched the golem's chest.

At that mont.

Vrrrrrrr!

The golem shook as if it was hit with electricity, then stopped and fell.

"......!"

One of the Shadow's leaders, watching the scene from the other side of the barrier, stood up, his eyes wide.

But the surprise wasn't over.

Zion, easily avoiding the attacks coming from all sides, walked among the golems like a ghost.

Tock, tock, tock, tock.

Zion's finger lightly touched the golems as he passed them.

The Black Star started from Zion's finger and went straight into the golems' magic circles, erasing the magic inside them.

Unable to hide their surprise, they stared at Zion.

Even they, who were proud of knowing all the world's information, had no idea what power Zion used.

'Celestial wave? No, it's not the sa.'

Plod, plod.

Zion started to slowly move towards them.

With each step, darkness flowed out, and a feeling of dread spread.

'That figure....'

Thierry's eyes started to shake as he watched Zion co closer.

Aurelion Khan Agnes, who started the empire and joined the world with his mythical achievents.

All that was rembered about this emperor were his na and what he did.

However, the Eternal Shadows also kept a description of the emperor's look.

The emperor was always surrounded by darkness.

Dread spread with his steps, and when a black star spun in his eyes, the world was afraid.

Zion Agnes.

The figure of Zion Agnes, coming closer, looked a lot like the emperor's description.

Then.

"You asked for proof."

The quiet voice that ca from Zion's mouth.

His voice was very soft, but everyone heard it clearly.

"But it's not

who needs to give proof."

Whoosh.

Zion's form vanished from sight within the surrounding darkness.

When Zion reappeared, he was in front of a middle-aged woman, one of the Eternal Shadow's leaders.

"It's you."

Before the woman and the other leaders could respond.

Thrust!

Zion's hand shot through the woman's heart without a second thought.

"!!!!!!!"

As people's eyes widened in surprise at Zion's unexpected move.

Screeeeeee!

A horrible magic started to co out of the woman's mouth, along with a noise no human could make.
