Dark Fantasy Paladin Chapter 159

Episode 159

The Dawn Corps began clearing the area around Ben Beckman immediately after occupying the White Bone Wilderness. They won victory after victory and drove out all the demonic troops in the vicinity in just 5 days.

Even the sacred barriers were activated at major bases in all directions of Ben Beckman to completely purify the area.

It was a complete recapture.

Now that the sacred site of Ben Beckmann has returned to humanity, the first restoration has ended successfully.

『Bachekssar calendar 385 – January 2, 5th Walenstal calendar. 』 Today is recorded in the Bible as the ‘Feast of the Recapture of the Holy Land.’ A holiday of the empire and a holy holiday of the church. Every year on January 2nd, all residents will stop their work and bless the temple.

It was the same today. The banquet was in full swing at Benbeckmann.

The soldiers, who were exhausted from the continuous battle, also laughed and drank with renewed vigor.

Of course you need this kind of rest.

Benbeckman Night Market. The shopping mall, once overflowing with malice, has now become a resting place for humans.

A soldier shouted loudly from a food stall.

“For the noble sacrifices!”

The soldiers sitting at the table raised their glasses high.

“““For honorable deaths—!”””

Glasses clinked in the air.

They were toasting to the fallen.

A snow leopard, who was quietly watching the scene, approached the table.

She said with her arms crossed.

“Death is just death. Where is the honor?”

Everyone’s eyes turned to Ain.

The most senior soldier among the soldiers, General Ten, opened his mouth.

“There is no greater honor than this, to die by the sword of God.”

The snow leopard sat in the empty seat with an expression of ignorance.

“What good is the honor of a dead man? “I can’t enjoy anything anyway.”

The Ten Seals shook their heads.

“If you die in the temple, you can ascend to heaven. They call it the Hall of Fame. “You will find eternal happiness there.”

The snow leopard touched the handle of the drinking glass with his index finger.

“No one has been there. Who knows if it’s true?”

“It’s all in the Bible. Sometimes His Majesty Paidna describes the Hall of Fame.”

A soldier intervened.

“Isn’t Angel Joheim also from the Hall of Fame?”

The Ten Seals nodded.

“that’s right. The powerful angel Joheim died in the Battle of Beric and went to the hall. He received a thousand ring in recognition of his contribution.”

The snow leopard said.

“It might all be bright red. In the first place, the god who governs the afterlife is Mabet. I heard this guy will annihilate everyone except the transcendental? “When ordinary kites like us die, we just disappear.”

It wasn’t wrong. Because the underworld was Marbet’s world.

The Ten Seals opened their mouths.

“That’s why everyone looks forward to the temple.”

“What are you talking about?”

“Noble sacrifices are not bound by causality and are returned to heaven. “The sun reached an agreement with Marbet.”

I don’t know if it’s true or not. However, the Bible clearly stated so.

“In short, the only evidence is the Bible.”

“There is one more person right next to you.”

A soldier who was listening shouted.

“For His Holiness Taekwang—!”

Everyone raised their glasses.

“““For—!”””

The snow leopard looked at them blankly.

The afterlife. It was a concept I couldn’t quite understand. Because this life was the most important to Ain.

This may be because they lived fiercely just to survive in the harsh cold of the Perennial War. It could be because there was no main god for a long time.

Anyway, it was difficult to sympathize with humans.

Meanwhile, the security guard’s loud voice echoed throughout the night market.

“Your Majesty, please come!”

Soon, a dazzling procession was entering the market entrance. He crossed between the opposing lanterns and approached.

2nd Landing Army Pilgrim Corps. They had just arrived and were heading to the castle palace.

Everyone who was enjoying the festival stood up and showed some light courtesy.

Saya, who was sitting on the roof of the carriage, jumped down and approached the snow leopard.

The surprised snow leopard lowered its head.

“Seonghu Seo…”

“That’s enough. Rather, what do you want to happen when you die?”

The snow leopard looked at Saya with a somewhat embarrassed expression.

“What…”

“I heard what you said. I’m not trying to scold you, so please speak comfortably. “Where do you want to go when you die?”

Now that I think about it, Ain also has a god.

A being who may take responsibility until after death. However, it was difficult for the snow leopard to answer easily. Because it was a topic I had never thought deeply about.

“······I do not know. “I just like it now that I don’t have to starve.”

“They say that when you get used to it, you find other values.”

Once physiological needs are resolved, higher level needs are pursued. That was common to all intelligent beings.

“Think among yourselves and tell me. “Have you delivered it to Fenrir?”

The snow leopard nodded slightly.

Saya glanced at the table.

“Don’t fight about this. “Iden hates it.”

The soldiers who were glancing at the Ten-Tails’ appearance cleared their throats and said.

“of course.”

“His Holiness told us to recognize differences.”

Not everyone was this flexible, but the continent was changing little by little.

The fact that they crossed the diagonal line together may have also played a role.

Saya smiled and turned around.

I approached the procession that had stopped for a moment and got into the carriage.

Beatrice and Uriel were seated inside the pure white interior.

Saya looked at the Saint of Punishment.

“In a similar vein, you too. “Don’t encourage conflict.”

Beatrice trembled. Her pupils were dilated. As if he had lost focus.

Saya smiled a subtle smile.

“Well, I can’t do anything. Until you reflect on it.”

His eyes and tongue were taken away with gold. It was the result of a conflict that arose between Saya and Beatrice during the voyage.

Eyes as if looking at bugs, disdainful tone of voice. Saya did not tolerate such behavior from Beatrice.

Yuriel said with a bitter expression.

“······Your Majesty Beatrice is definitely reflecting. “Please stop being lenient.”

Saya shook her head.

“This is tolerance. Originally, I would have plucked it out in the bud. If anything germinates, it’s too late. “It ended like this because of you.”

Yuriel also knew it well. If it were Saya of old, she would have killed her without mercy.

“Humans can change. “Like your Majesty.”

That’s why you should give it a chance. It was Yuriel’s idea.

Saya thought for a moment and held out her hand.

“Prove it.”

A gem was floating on the pure white palm.

Yuriel tilted his head and looked at Saya.

“what is this?”

“If you put it on the area, the ban will be lifted.”

Embarrassment flashed across Yuriel’s face. It was not just because he had taken over the authority to judge Beatrice.

With this gem, Saya will be able to break the prohibition of no relationship that she placed on Yuriel.

Their gazes became intertwined in the air. Saya spoke first.

“If she stays the same even after being forgiven, she dies.”

The atmosphere became cold. Beatrice, who was listening, trembled.

Yuriel took a deep breath and spoke.

“I will give you acceptable results.”

“Then you are the one who dies.”

After saying that, Saya opened the carriage door.

“Please try your best. “I’m going to go see Aiden.”

Then it flew up.

*

Courtyard of Benbeckmann Castle Palace. In the spacious outdoor banquet hall, military commanders and those who had made contributions were looking at the throne.

Aiden said as he sat down in his seat.

“Come closer.”

Several of the protagonists who led the recapture to victory approached the podium.

Aiden raised his upper body.

“For future generations will remember your names.”

The Navy that shot down a floating ship in a naval battle, the Archer Cavalry that successfully led a surprise operation in the southern part, the Gospel Hall that recovered holy relics in the west, the Valkyries that cleared the Baekgol Wilderness, and joined the east to cut off the enemy’s supply and demand.

The warriors of the temple lined up and took the sword ceremony.

Iden personally attached the badges to them.

A badge of honor and a medal of merit bestowed by God. It will be an honor that will never be experienced again by a soldier.

Those with red badges on their chests knelt one by one.

“Castle and Wallenstal. Shine with light and illuminate the world.”

Aiden stopped in front of the last turn.

It was a Valkyrie with black short hair.

She kept glancing at Iden as if she had something to say.

Of course, Iden noticed it too.

“What is your name?”

Valkyrie’s face became a little sullen.

Iden wondered if it was an illusion. How long has it been since I last saw that expression in front of you? It was rare for anyone to show emotions other than awe or respect in front of Aiden. Even if there are complaints.

A Valkyrie without an answer. The Gospel Hall, which received the badge first, gave a slight look.

Valkyrie seemed to have finally returned to reality and moaned softly.

“I am Valkyrie Sylvia.”

After introducing myself like that, I looked at Aiden again. Don’t you know this? That was the intention.

Iden opened his mouth.

“Yes, Sylvia. Do you have any requests? “Tell me anything.”

The Valkyrie in front of me judged an official of the 2nd Demon Corps in the east.

A contribution of that magnitude should be praised.

Sylvia sighed inwardly.

It seems to be true that I lost my childhood memories. Sylvia did not remain in Iden’s mind.

The time when Yoo Ji-tae was possessed into the game was right after ‘Aiden’ graduated from the monastery.

Therefore, Yoo Ji-tae did not have any relationship with her.

Sylvia gave up and took the sword.

“As an agent, I only judged evil. I need no reward other than glory.”

Iden stared at her and then smiled slightly.

“Come visit me whenever you remember.”

Sylvia was puzzled. You know how to smile like that? It was quite different from the Aiden she knew.

“······I will do so.”

Aiden patted Sylvia on the shoulder and returned to the podium.

He said while looking at the audience.

“Everyone please take a seat.”

Everyone sat in their assigned seats. Individual drinking tables were set up in front of them.

“There has been a lot of hard work so far. “Forget everything today and enjoy it.”

I’m thinking of ending it briefly and leaving. It must be uncomfortable to be with God.

You have to loosen your belt and drink with your nose crooked, but you won’t be able to do that in front of Aiden.

Just as I was about to tie the knot and leave, Commander Ibischler opened his mouth.

“His Holiness Taekwang. Major General Ibischler has failed to fulfill his divine command. “Please punish me.”

Iden ordered Bayorn to be occupied before the New Year. Unfortunately, the sun has already changed.

Aiden said.

“You did well enough.”

“But…”

“If that’s the case, stand at the forefront and make up for your mistakes.”

Ibischler got up and got down on one knee.

“I will plant the white flag on the Bayjorn spire.”

“There is no need for that.”

Because the schedule has changed.

Originally, they would have surrounded Bayjorn and fought a public campaign.

It was different now. Petersarkin’s body is coming here. Iden planned to fight the demon god in front of both demons and humans.

The moment you win by killing them, the demons will disperse.

Sometimes a performance like this was necessary.

We will recapture the Holy Land without shedding a single drop of blood. It was a gift from Murciela.

Aiden was very happy.

“I’ll leave your performance to the next time. “I’m looking forward to it.”

After saying that, Iden stood up.

“Even when the sun sets, the white sheep will protect you. Enjoy your victory comfortably.”

I turned my back and activated the status window.

I poured the accumulated points into my physical abilities.

The atmosphere surrounding Aiden shook for a moment. The son-in-law disappeared and then returned to his original position.

The soldiers gulped as they looked at that scene.

Iden thought it was worth it.
