3 Hunting Night (2)

“ The attack… … !”

Kwajik!

Before he could finish speaking, a dagger was lodged in the knight’s mouth.

“ What are these guys doing… … Gagging!”

The weapons of the assassins that end up killing even the knights that followed them.

The assassins who killed the three knights of Chimseonggung in such an instant appeared from the darkness and pushed the corpse to one side.

Contrary to popular belief that he travels alone, the assassins also preferred to form a group and kill the enemy with certainty.

“ Did you know we were coming?”

Assassin No. 18 murmured as he looked at the iron plates on the necks and hearts of the killed knights.

Not only that, but there were also more than twice as many knights standing on the night guard than the information received, and they were even patrolling in groups of three instead of two.

It’s a strange situation, even if we were to prepare more thoroughly for the previous raid.

Apparently they knew they were going to attack.

“ It’s an attack!”

“ Get together and get ready!”

Although it wasn’t long as evidence of that, shouts were already echoing around the palace.

‘ But nothing changes.’

After all, they came here with the intention of erasing all life in the palace.

And he had some power.

It was already too late to call it an assassination, but the goal was to be achieved.

‘ If I go up while erasing from the bottom like this… … Well?’

Thinking like that, No. 18 looked around at his crew, and doubts were small in the eyes.

Obviously, there were seven members who were initially assigned to the group except for himself.

But he saw only six of them.

“ Where did one go? Surely it would have been forbidden to act alone… … .”

at that time.

self-

A strange sound was heard in No. 18 ‘s ear.

A creepy and strange sound, like a snake crawling on the floor.

The moment when Room 18 and the other assassins turned their heads to the side where the sound was heard without knowing it.

Kwajik!

From the exact opposite side of the sound source, this time there was a sound as if something was being smashed.

In the eyes of #18, who turned his head towards him again.

“… … !”

I saw the assassin who had been there a while ago, having lost his head and falling to the floor.

“ What is this… … !”

The eyes of the assassins tinged with embarrassment.

But their embarrassment did not last long.

“ Stop.”

Is it because of the experience that has been put into practice countless times?

18, who quickly grasped what was happening, directed the remaining assassins.

“ Don’t go forward any longer and be alert to your surroundings.”

It was like committing suicide to move with an enemy who had not yet appeared.

Close the distance between each other and compensate for blind spots in the field of vision.

As if accustomed to this, the assassins quickly formed a formation.

The silence that followed him.

The silence also contained great tension.

It was an enemy who assassinated two people in an instant to avoid their attention.

The moment you relax even the slightest bit, you could lose your life.

‘ There are no blind spots in the field of vision. If it’s this much, at least we won’t lose another trillion won… … Well?’

At that moment, something strange came into Room 18’s eyes.

darkness.

At the end of his gaze, the darkness flickered strangely.

as if he were alive.

He is already accustomed to the darkness, but he sees a foreign darkness for the first time in his life.

When number 18, as if possessed, was looking at such darkness.

darkness laughed.

It was nonsense for the darkness to laugh, but it certainly suited the expression that it was laughing.

The moment when No. 18’s whole body was unwittingly goosebumps.

Whoops!

A strange noise was heard from behind.

At the eyes of #18, who quickly turned her head at the ominous feeling.

Whoops, whoops, whoops!

The black beast’s mouth made of darkness came in, chewing on the upper body of one of the assassins.

Suga Gak!

The assassins around him quickly swung their swords, but the mouth of the beast had already disappeared and the body of the assassin with only a lower body left in its place.

“ What… … .”

A tired voice came out of the mouth of the other assassin who saw it.

Anxiety and fear that quickly spread among the assassins with him.

I couldn’t figure it out at all.

No, they weren’t even sure if the enemy they were dealing with was a human.

“ Calm down!”

No. 27, the co-chief, noticed the growing anxiety and shouted loudly.

“ Yeah, it’s just one guy. Next attack… … !”

But his words did not come to an end.

Aww!

Because before that, my head was already gone.

“ Ugh, ooh!”

And the appearance of No. 27 raised the assassins’ anxiety and fear to the maximum.

The assassins start running away just to get out of their place without making a proper decision.

They were assassins who would choose to fight rather than run away even if they faced a strong person they could not handle, but that was only when they knew who their opponent was.

An unknown enemy whose shape is unknown.

The feeling of fear when such an enemy devours his comrades one by one is beyond imagination.

‘ I’ve never heard of a guy like that in Chimseonggung.’

As the situation was already out of his control, he left, like other assassins, and number 18 broke into a cold sweat.

“ Ouch!”

“ Sah, live… … Aww!”

The screams of the assassins are constantly heard behind him as if he has no intention of hiding it anymore.

hunt.

Now they were being hunted.

They were also being subjected to their main specialty, assassination.

A scream that gets closer and closer despite running at full speed.

“ Ugh… … .”

And finally, the moment when all the screams from behind ceased.

18 could be seen.

self.

The darkness that had been smiling at himself a while ago appeared in front of his eyes.

“ Who are you… … Whoever it is!”

18 ‘s chewing cry, the trembling darkness lifted like a curtain, and a man appeared from within.

Skinny body with gray hair.

And languid eyes that are too quiet.

“… … !”

Seeing such a man, No. 18’s eyes begin to color with astonishment.

Zion Agnes.

The prince imprisoned here in Chimseonggung and their goal.

“ How, how… … .”

Perhaps they were shocked that Zion had been hunting them until now, so only the same words were flowing out of No. 18’s mouth over and over again.

‘You have to tell me.’

The world didn’t know.

What kind of person was Prince Zion whom they ignored and despised?

The goal of #18 was no longer to assassinate Shion.

It was to get out of here and inform his group about this.

Tadat!

As soon as that thought occurred, No. 18 did not hesitate to turn back and run at full speed.

No, I was going to run.

“ I’m going to let one go, but… … .”

With Zion’s low voice heard in his ear, No. 18 could be seen.

“ You are not.”

The sight of his headless body protruding forward and collapsing.

‘ It’s definitely better in practice.’

Looking at the corpses of the assassins, Shion thought.

Heukseongha’s status in today’s actual battle was rising faster than the recent training.

Knowing that fact in advance, Zion did not avoid the battle, but rather enjoyed it.

“ Stop it!”

“ Where is the Prince! We must find it and protect it!”

Kagang! Kaga!

The sound of fierce fighting can be heard from all over the Chimseonggung Palace.

‘It will be finished soon.’

Hearing these sounds meant that the knights in the palace were fighting against each other without being hit unilaterally.

It was only a matter of time until Zion himself moved around and gave strength to it.

at that time.

Kwagwagwagwang!

A different noise could be heard in Shion’s ears.

The sound of something exploding rather than just colliding with each other.

Was there a wizard in the palace for a while? The light of understanding was young in Shion’s eyes.

‘I forgot.’

With that thought, Zion’s body began to seep into the darkness again.

dark currents.

Black Star’s basic mobility.

Heukseongha was essentially a foreign power that had nothing to do with it, but it was closer to darkness than light.

Therefore, he was more accustomed to the dark and had many related abilities.

Shion moved to the side where the sound was heard in an instant as if riding a wave, and looked at the scene where the battle was taking place.

“ You guys, what are you guys doing? How can you think of raiding the Imperial Palace!”

Kwagwagwagwang!

Whenever Priscilla, with an angry expression, signs a seal, magic pours out and colors the surroundings red.

The flowing link between attack and defense clearly showed that she was an excellent wizard coveted by many magic towers.

Even in Shion’s eyes, the difference was slightly younger.

However.

Suga Gak!

The assassins who were fighting Priscilla were also not happy.

Among those who attacked Chimseonggung today, as if he had the best skills, he was not pushed even a single inch against her.

No, on the contrary, he was gradually gaining victory.

“ Ugh!”

A painful moan escapes from Priscilla’s mouth at the attacks that come through the magical rift she’s unfolding.

The scratch on her body gradually increased.

And finally.

“ This… … !”

The moment one of the assassins pierces her magic and thrusts a sword towards her heart.

Zion moved.

one step.

Shion, who took just one step and moved between Priscilla and the assassin, slowly extended her hand forward.

soo much!

An assassin’s sword whose orbit is distorted by the darkness that flows in Shion’s hand.

Zion did not miss the gap that was revealed by that.

Kwajik!

The heart of an assassin that is shattered at once.

“ Who… … ?”

Questions are young in Priscilla’s eyes.

Before the corpse of the assassin whose heart was smashed could fall to the floor, the new form of Sion rode through the darkness and moved toward the other assassins.

Quajik, quajik, quajik!

One life for exactly one move.

It is impossible to prevent or avoid.

It was no longer a battle.

It was just a massacre.

‘It’s a failure.’

No. 4, who was watching the scene from the back with a tired expression, instinctively felt it.

Even a mage with such great skills didn’t expect it.

It was the unknown person who was slaughtering assassins with advanced skills even in the assassination corps with darkness all over his body, which was the cause of this failure.

The rapid annihilation of the assassins who had infiltrated other places was probably the author’s work.

‘ I think there must have been such an existence in Chimseonggung, which I thought was an abandoned place.’

variable.

That alone was a big variable that overturned the situation itself.

bum bum, bum bum.

Suddenly, after killing all the assassins, I wondered if #4, who was looking at Shion walking toward him with shaky eyes, would bend his knees.

Whirick!

Instead of facing Zion, he flew towards the window behind him.

Choosing to run rather than fight.

“… … .”

Without chasing after such number 4, Shion removed the darkness that surrounded it.

“ Zion… … Prince?”

A startled voice came out of Priscilla’s mouth when she saw Zion’s appearance, but Shion didn’t answer it.

I just stare at No. 4, which is moving away at a fast pace, and a long black thread behind him that runs down to his finger.

Amhonsa (暗魂絲).

This thread, which can only be seen by Zion, is one of the skills under the Black Star, and once connected, it was a tracking technique that made it possible to know where the target was within a certain range.

This sorcerer will guide you to their stronghold.

‘ Let’s go soon.’

From the moment he became aware of his surroundings, until now, Shion had never saved the enemies who were aiming for his life.

If Baek aims at him, he rips the cloth, and if the cloth aims at him, he pulls out Man’s neck.

Strictly so that no variables exist.

This life was no exception.

A single black star spinning clearly in Shion’s eyes that gave off a languid light.

It was announcing that Heukseongha had finally entered the 1st star.
