Dark Fantasy Paladin Chapter 6

Episode 6.

Late at night, the mountain was neither dark nor quiet.

This is because Aiden’s Holy Gauntlet revealed his son-in-law, and the cries of the dead echoed from all directions.

The new soldiers and Iden were running at the foot of the mountain. The dead followed after them endlessly.

‘Xerath hasn’t caught the necromancer yet.’

Instead, he left a trail in the forest for Iden to chase.

The weeds were on fire or the outside of the trees were charred black. Iden followed Xerath’s footsteps, following those marks.

“Cheer up!”

The new recruits also ran with their muscles pumping, but the distance from Aiden was gradually increasing.

However, there was no time to consider them. Aiden imbued the tip of his sword with divine power and scratched the ground.

A white glow marked Aiden’s movements.

It was unlikely that the new soldiers would find traces of Xerath in the dark forest, so it was a method that Iden prepared separately.

Aiden immediately ran at full speed. I climbed up a shallow valley and ran down the slope.

We entered a hilly area. A wide flat land with gentle undulations. The trail ended here, so I quickly looked in all directions.

The silhouettes of two people could be seen at the edge of a hill in the distance.

When I got closer, it wasn’t a very good situation.

Behind the necromancer was a distant cliff. As he took something from the bottle and tried to drink it, Xerath’s flames melted the bottle.

“Suicide. God is watching. “There is no greater disrespect than that.”

“The God I believe in is different. It’s a dedication to Him.”

When Xerath spotted Iden, he stuck out his tongue.

“How are you here? Huh, did you really defeat the Dark Warrior?

It was amazing for a newly commissioned Paladin to stand up against a Dark Warrior.

But Iden did more than that. The result of running non-stop for about two years. But considering the second half, even this was not enough.

“I somehow managed to organize it. Rather, why is the situation like this?”

“You have no shame. You’ve worked hard, but there’s no profit here. As you can see.”

The necromancer attempted to commit suicide to avoid being captured. As the guy took a step back towards the cliff, small stones rained down.

He smiled bitterly and stared at Aiden.

“I feel sorry for you. I can’t believe I can make such a good bowl. “That’s just a pity.”

The necromancer’s wide eyes sparkled with desire.

They always covet a good body. It takes the soul, locks it in a prison called the nucleus, and returns it to the body, turning it into a doll.

A marionette that moves even though it is rotten and crumbling. The necromancers of this world were extremely evil.

Iden frowned, displeased with his gaze.

“There are many things I want to ask. “You won’t answer.”

He was clearly waiting for Iden in the graveyard. Who did you hear it from and why did you wait? Even if it was assumed that Bishop Forell was behind it, Forell’s motive was unknown.

Joining hands with heresy? Although the bishop was a villain in the game, he was not an apostate.

“I have no right to answer your question.”

Iden was dumbfounded. What a right. It was difficult to know what fanatics were.

“Can you open his mouth?”

“If you hang them on a frame and touch them, anyone will tell the truth. “And that’s only when life is at stake.”

The necromancer raised an eyebrow.

“Sadly, that doesn’t happen. “Demon God, I will offer up my soul.”

The guy spread his arms and threw himself towards the cliff.

“Tsk, I messed up. Without that guy…”

Before Xerath could finish his sentence, Iden sprinted forward.

I pulled out my lance and threw it violently in the direction where it fell.

Squirt! The flying spear pierced the man’s shoulder and became lodged at the foot of the cliff on the other side.

“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”

Xerath could not keep his mouth shut at that strange act.

“How on earth are you a character straight out of the Bible?”

Aiden was calm.

“Please help me take this off.”

Xerath suddenly went behind Aiden and loosened the seam of the holy armor.

“There is no time. Master, please go to where the bishop is right now. “I will bring a sorcerer and join you.”

The bishop said that the Demonic Cult would raid the scene when the offering ritual began.

I wasted too much time because of Dark Warrior. By now, the bishop might be stealing the children, or the Demon Cult might actually be holding a ritual.

The latter was truly the worst situation.

“What are you doing now?”

Iden walked away from the edge of the cliff for a moment. Swollen thighs. At the same time, the run toward the cliff continued. The explosive momentum kicked up dust.

“See you later.”

Iden flew through the air. I threw myself into a canyon that was dizzying just looking down.

Around the halfway point of the cliff on the other side, Iden crashed into the upper part of the rock where the necromancer was firmly anchored.

The plate gauntlets rubbed against the rock, sending debris and pebbles into Aiden’s face.

A roar echoed through the canyon. Every time Iden touched the protruding bumps, they could not bear the weight and shattered.

Aiden continued to rub against the wall. I used my hands and feet to slow down the acceleration as much as possible, and soon the speed began to decrease.

I was approaching the rock I had seen. Aiden took out the holy sword and stabbed it into the outer wall.

The holy sword refined with Adamantine easily penetrated the wall.

I continued to slide and fall, but the fall stopped the moment my feet touched the rock.

Iden turned his head.

The necromancer looked at Iden in fascination.

“It’s all you…”

“Shut up.”

Puck Iden’s fist hit the guy in the jaw.

When Iden pulled out the spear stuck in the wizard’s shoulder, the unconscious man woke up again, complaining of pain.

After hitting him one more time, he completely fainted.

Iden picked him up and climbed up the rock wall. Since we came over the other side of the cliff, we had to circle around and go to the offering site.

I ran quickly.

*

Aiden made a makeshift gag by tying together strong tree trunks and rocks. This is because if the necromancer wakes up and bites his tongue, he will be in trouble.

After putting a gag in his mouth, we headed to a small pioneer village in the mountains.

The village where Bishop Forel identified the altar of human sacrifice. There were no doubts about the location since Xerath had already conducted a preliminary inspection.

But I was worried about what was happening there.

The bishop was a person who satisfied his selfish desires with children.

The girl is used as a plaything, and the boy’s character is destroyed and made into his personal guard.

The castration soldiers created in the middle of the game were very difficult opponents for users.

It is certainly a good thing that there is an opportunity to nip the bishop’s power in the bud before it grows any further.

But what if he is related to the Demonic Cult? It was never a happy thing.

Because it meant that the difficulty level of this world had risen exponentially.

Those thoughts stopped when a small village surrounded by mountains appeared.

Aiden frowned.

At the entrance of the village, a resident lay bleeding.

‘dead.’

His pupils were out of focus. Aiden hurriedly entered the village.

The interior has already been reduced to rubble, as if a group of thieves had swept over it.

Private buildings were all open, household items were lying around haphazardly, and the streets were littered with corpses.

‘Shit.’

When Aiden reached the center of the village, he was astonished.

Forell kneels in restraints. His castrated horse, Cernut, had also burned and turned black.

Dozens of children were also well protected by the new soldiers who had joined Xerath.

Yeah, that was good up to that point.

“Have you arrived already?”

A frame was placed in front of Xerath. A child was tied to a wooden pole erected on a straw bale and burst into tears.

Xerath snapped his fingers with a very businesslike expression.

The bales of straw quickly became covered in yellow flames. The power of Xerath. It was a blue flame that instantly burned the criminal brought to the judgment table.

‘No way…’

Iden was so helpless that he had to relax his guard against Xerath. I forgot that he is a fanatic who burns people without blood or tears.

Numerous messages appeared simultaneously.

“Shit!”

Aiden chewed his lips and threw himself into the rising flames.

*

Iden was never a good person.

All of his altruistic actions after being possessed were solely for the sake of growth.

To survive the grueling second half of the story. And because I don’t want to live as a weak person in a world completely dominated by the principle of the fittest.

He has been pretending to be a good man.

Was it the same this time too? Iden asked himself repeatedly, but there was no answer.

“It’s incredible vitality.”

Just someone’s voice seeped into my ears. As I pushed up my eyelids, I saw platinum-blonde hair swaying neatly beyond my blurry vision.

It had a familiar appearance.

‘Uriel?’

One of the six saints of the church.

“Are you out of your mind?”

Aiden’s mind became increasingly clear due to the shock of the inside shaking.

“······Where are we now?”

“In my carriage.”

The moment I jumped into Changyeom flashed through my mind. Aiden immediately raised his upper body.

“Now wait a minute! If you still move like that…”

“Xerath. No kid. Anyway, what happened!”

Uriel was startled by Aiden’s sudden behavior and pressed herself against the wall.

“If you’re talking about a child addicted to hemp magic… wait a minute. “I saved your life without even saying thank you.”

Aiden frowned in frustration. When the saintess got scared, Iden sighed.

“sorry. But saint, I am in a hurry right now. Please tell me quickly. “What happened?”

“I’m not a saint yet, and I don’t want to hear an apology. Haha, that’s it. I purified the boy, and the Inquisitor arrested the bishop and necromancer and headed to the church headquarters first. Are you done?”

The child lived? Clearly, the child was pushed out of the scaffold the moment the flames rose. However, if it were Xerath, he would have put the child on the scaffold again.

Among the tens of thousands of routes in the game, there were only a handful of cases where Xerath withdrew his judgment.

Aiden couldn’t understand at all.

“Is that all true?”

“······It’s hard for me to believe, but it’s true.”

Iden opened the carriage window.

A vast plain. Numerous troops were escorting a single carriage in a long procession.

I saw a flag with a flag bearer. Lion pattern. It was a family that Iden knew well.

‘Marquis de Sacillier.’

That means that Uriel is not yet a saint. If you are ordained a saint, you will abandon your family name and family name.

Iden immediately looked back at Uriel.

“Why am I here? “Where is this procession headed?”

“If you’re going to just pour out what you have to say, I won’t answer any more. “You need to stabilize now…”

“I’m fine.”

Thinking about it, Uriel answered that Xerath went to the church ‘first’.

The destination of this procession was also meant to be a religious order. A route related to Yuriel suddenly came to mind.

Aiden was usually excluded, but the route that users sometimes chose to get Uriel’s attention was to join this force.

He could escort Uriel, who was heading to the church for the saint’s investiture ceremony, or,

if it was a job for the Demon God Church, he could choose assassination or kidnapping.

The latter was, in fact, impossible to succeed.

This is because the old knight who was at the head of this army was a strong man known even within the world of swordsmanship.

Therefore, there was no room for the user to intervene in this flow, regardless of whether they chose the escort or whatever else they chose.

So-called event route. General users only focused on appreciating Uriel’s appearance.

Of course, Iden could not afford to waste such meaningless time.

“I will head to the church separately.”

If I joined this procession, I might feel frustrated and turn away. Because it was so large-scale, it was so slow.

The doubts about the bishop and Xerath had to be resolved. As Iden threw open the carriage door, a gust of wind blew in.

Yuriel’s expression eventually became tinged with embarrassment. Iden said, turning to her.

“There will be a group of people trying to contact you under the guise of being at the top. “Never get too close.”

It was an incident caused by family and political issues that had nothing to do with the devil or paganism.

If things went according to flow, it would end without incident, but since I chose hell as the difficulty level, I didn’t know what could have happened.

If the saint dies, the second half of the story becomes more difficult. That was the reason for throwing out a hint.

“Lastly, I will definitely repay the favor of saving my life. “I will hear the details at the main office and then I will leave.”

Iden jumped out of the carriage. Yuriel just looked at the back, completely absorbed.

Euron’s voice came from the rear ranks.

“Ah, Lord Iden!”

Euron looked as if he had seen a ghost and then sighed in relief.

The cart he was driving contained Aiden’s holy armor. Petra walked beside it.

Suddenly, his divinity and nobility values soared sharply.

“Euron, come back quickly.”

“Yes yep!”

First of all, I passed.
