Dark Fantasy Paladin Chapter 36

Episode 36.

The barrier has been shattered.

The translucent membrane burst like a balloon, scattering debris in all directions.

The sea water no longer rushed in. It struck Atlantis in an instant, keeping the pressure of the deep sea intact.

Aiden wrapped one arm around Uriel’s waist and descended deeper.

Even if the Seilun tribe’s mutation ability was extinguished, Iden and Uriel were still able to transform into fishmen.

This is because it was the power that Jonah lent.

Because she was the sole beneficiary of the godhood left behind by the sea god, she never loses her power.

However, Aiden had a duration. If I don’t finish the job quickly, I will be buried with Atlantis.

The broken pieces of the barrier were seeping into the seawater and moving towards one place.

The fragments pointed to the ruins of Elpis.

Iden swam after them. I glanced upward and saw that the water pressure was destroying the buildings.

A vortex created by repulsion swirled around, swallowing up the remains of the building.

If Iden had been a little late, he might have ended up in this living hell.

I turned my head again. Before I knew it, the shape of my destination loomed in the distance.

Dozens of dark red pillars rising from the bottom of a deep trench.

Pieces of the barrier containing light went down to the cliff and illuminated the trench.

Yuriel looked very embarrassed. Because it didn’t seem like a hero’s ruins.

There was Elpis’ palace.

The building, which seemed to have been colored with the blood of the devil, was encroached upon by misshapen letters, creating an unpleasant atmosphere.

It was a complete contrast to Arhan’s pure white palace.

The fragments of the barrier that surrounded Atlantis began to take the shape of a dome, surrounding the ruins this time.

It’s as if they don’t want to let something inside them out.

Iden swam quickly and approached the palace before the barrier was fully formed.

The moment I grabbed the huge doorknob, a barrier completely surrounded the palace.

The seawater that had filled the dome quickly flowed out.

Iden and Uriel returned to human form.

Yuriel looked at Elpis’ palace with a slightly shocked face. For a place to honor a great hero, it had an extremely unpleasant appearance.

Aiden spoke in a somewhat stern tone.

“You should be nervous. “If you do it wrong, you die.”

“Do not worry.”

She consciously avoided Iden’s eyes. It was because my feelings were complex in many ways.

Aiden swallowed his resolve and pulled the round doorknob. The

dark

red gate opened with a rusty friction sound.

Black smoke flowed out through the open door and spread outside. Devil’s energy. Yuriel’s expression hardened.

“Why is Magi in a place like this?”

“I will reveal it from the inside.”

When Iden tried to explode the halo, Yuriel stopped him.

“I will do it.”

A small ray of light flowed from the tip of her index finger and penetrated into the palace interior.

Round light sources scattered across the ceiling, walls, and floor. The interior was brightly lit.

The ability to manipulate divine power in minute detail was the exclusive property of saints.

The field was a little different from that of a paladin.

When Iden fully opened the door, the interior of the palace was clearly revealed.

Yuriel could not help but be astonished.

Because I saw the devil.

Dozens of support beams lined up facing each other. The chains connected to the dark red pillars bound the hideous being.

The devil kneeling in the middle of the bundle of poles

had no facial features. The grayish skin was lifeless. The skinny body could not hide the shape of the ribs.

Although he was about the size of an adult man, his fingernails were well over 30cm long and were dragging on the floor.

The guy hasn’t woken up yet.

“Please follow me.”

Aiden led the frozen Uriel between the pillars.

The closer Uriel got to the guy, the more fear he felt. Because he wasn’t an ordinary devil. It was one of the primordial beings called the Source.

Even priests could not be free from fear because it stimulated the primal emotions of humans.

Iden’s killing intent only soared because of the seeker of destruction.

When he reached the black platform right next to the devil, Uriel’s steps suddenly stopped.

“······sorry. please wait for a moment. “It’ll just take a moment.”

Iden, who was ahead, looked back at Yuriel.

She was taking deep breaths to calm herself.

“I have something to tell you if you come to the podium.”

This is because the ruins are shaped like this and the identity of the devil was written on a stone tablet.

At Aiden’s urging, Uriel took heavy steps again.

Seeing her pale face, Iden held out his hand.

“Catch it.”

Iden remembered what happened underwater. When I held her hand, the trembling definitely stopped.

Uriel was conflicted for a moment, looking at Aiden’s hands and face in turn. ‘Is this man doing this on purpose?’ I had similar thoughts for a moment, but he didn’t seem like that kind of person.

I couldn’t take any more time and cause trouble.

Yuriel slowly stretched out her arm and held Aiden’s hand. The rough but steel-like grip gave me a sense of relief.

Strangely, I felt relieved.

Iden and Uriel stood in front of the platform right next to the devil.

“You can decipher it.”

An old saying was engraved on a black stone slab. Aiden is a language that cannot be interpreted. However, I already knew the contents.

Before reading the record, I also had to understand Uriel as background knowledge.

Her eyes burned with divinity. A look of despair flashed across Uriel’s face as he read the words.

This is because the devil was the great hero Elpis.

He is the one who plunged the Seilun tribe into the deep sea under the orders of Bacheksar. However, she regretted her actions.

I felt a sense of skepticism after seeing the horrible cycle of eating and eating each other for decades.

I was so disgusted with myself for having caused that terrible fate.

The primordial demons are conceived from the emotions of the intelligent being.

Anger, sadness, boredom, hatred, resentment, self-destruction, jealousy, obsession, irritation, discomfort, despair…etc.

A person whose emotions go to extremes degenerates into a devil called the Source.

In Elpis’ case, it was guilt.

He cut out his own eyes and ears. Because I hated hearing and seeing their screams.

Nevertheless, the remorse that did not go away eventually led her astray.

So what if.

What if the cause of guilt disappeared? Wouldn’t it be possible for him to be liberated from this feeling?

Wrong thoughts were directed at the Seyrun tribe. If they become extinct from this world, he will no longer have to suffer from a sense of guilt.

It degenerated into an incorrect decision to kill everyone.

Such information was written in detail on the stone tablet at the top. A monologue left by Elpis. Uriel, who had read the whole story, could not hide his devastated feelings.

“······Is this all true?”

“That’s right.”

Yuriel looked at Aiden.

“I guess the Lord even knew about this.”

“you’re right. Elpis’ goal is to kill all of the Sierun tribe. When this demon awakens, it will tear down the barrier and head to land.”

Yuriel was about to ask how he knew such a secret story, but stopped. Because it was obvious that the answer would come back.

“······I see.”

“You can choose. “Do I wake up the devil or leave him behind?”

Yuriel was lost in thought.

At the ruins of great heroes, records dating back 200 years or fragments of lost Bibles are sometimes discovered.

Iden said that secrets about Bacheksar lie buried here, so the ruins must contain such records.

I couldn’t just take it. Because you could only obtain a holy relic by proving your qualifications, such as passing a trial or breaking through a labyrinth.

Yuriel also knew this well, and the condition this time was to execute the fallen hero.

Yuriel cautiously opened his mouth.

“It’s something that should never happen. “If we fail to suppress it, we will create a tragedy with our own hands.”

“you’re right. As you have read, Elpis tied herself here. “It’s probably because he knew that there were very few people who could stop him.”

Elpis sealed herself when she had any sense of reason left.

Bacheksar threw her entire remains into Atlantis. Wake up one day and do what you want.

The latter was a fact that Yuriel did not know.

Yuriel swallowed his sleep.

“If you wake up that demon, it will ultimately mean risking people’s lives for that purpose. “It’s never the right thing to do.”

Aiden said calmly.

“The shackles will wear out, and there is no eternal punishment.”

It meant that even if the devil wasn’t awakened now, he would be released someday.

Yuriel was silent for a while.

I don’t know how this man predicted the future, but he definitely had more information than anyone else. The mind’s eye judged his words to be true, and if so, there was only one option.

Yuriel closed his eyes for a moment. After a while, he opened his mouth.

“If Elpis is truly one of the origins, you will have to risk your life.”

This is because they were qualitatively different beings.

“There is a chance of victory.”

It may be too much to do alone, but if a saint is with you, your power increases several times.

The achievements gained from Arhan’s trials were also included in Aiden’s confidence.

Yuriel opened his eyes. His expression was calm, as if he had made a decision.

Her pupils burned bright white.

“Shall we begin?”

Iden nodded and the saintess knelt down on the black marble floor.

I started reciting a prayer.

“Saint  Bacheksar.”

Yuriel put her hands together neatly. A white haze stretched out from her.

“Your sword cries out for destruction.”

A radiance surged from her. The pure divinity sucked in and swallowed the darkness that was eating away at the space.

“I want to light up the night instead of the sun.”

Light filled the vast palace.

“I am trying to cut down the darkness and act as judge.”

The light scattered and fluttered like snowflakes.

“Please respond.”

The hymn that flowed from Yuriel’s mouth was heard softly.

Aiden pulled out the holy sword. The divine power that had spread throughout the hall began to gather into the blade.

It wrapped around the body of the sword and burned it white.

Iden lit up his halo. A vast force made the holy sword vibrate.

The divinity that Yuriel lent was deep and rich. Even as Iden, it was difficult to control, so I grabbed it with both hands.

Then he raised it above his head.

Pure white brilliance rose up to the ceiling and radiated. It absorbed all the light in the palace and burned alone.

Aiden roared and struck with all his might. Light cut through the darkness and fell on Elpis’ head.

The sword path that split the devil’s bone and led to the groin touched the ground, spreading divine power in all directions.

Quaaaaaaaaa! The palace roared and shook. The chains that bound the limbs of the source broke into pieces and bounced up.

The demon split in half wriggled.

Ainden turned around in an instant, picked up Uriel, and climbed off the ground.

The moment he sat her down on the huge chandelier hanging from the ceiling, the devil moved.

Banjogari stood tall on one foot. disappeared at the same time.

The chandelier swayed. When I turned my head, I saw the devil squatting down and stroking Uriel’s hair.

The saint suppressed her fear and continued to sing the hymn.

The long fingernails slowly approached Uriel’s eyes.

Mind’s eye. No, Yuriel shouldn’t have been hurt.
