Dark Fantasy Paladin Chapter 46

Episode 46.

The Aspects could not abandon Iden.

Originally, it would have been right to cut off the tail and return to the church to report. It was common sense, but it couldn’t be applied to Aiden.

A Biblical hero was left to die.

If you posted a report like that, the penalty was not only punishment but death.

The beliefs of the saints also told them to die here even if they had to die.

They left traces all over the forest. So that the investigation team can find clues about the nine-tailed fox in the future.

Siron, who was racing, prepared for death. He lowered his posture and hung both arms holding the halberd behind him.

The blade scratched the ground and made a loud noise.

Her eyes sparkled with madness. The reason why this happened was because of the single determination to crush the Nine-Tailed Fox’s bones.

I kicked the ground at the end of the mound. He soared into the air and raised his halberd above his head.

The weight of the ax became the driving force and drove Siron down.

“You bitch!”

The fox gets closer. When I finally got into range, I hit with all my might.

Aiden moved. He pulled out the holy sword and lifted it horizontally. Kwaaaaang! The halberd clashed with the holy sword and let out a loud metallic sound.

Siron’s face was colored with astonishment. Why is Iden protecting the nine-tailed fox?

It was an illusion. Iden was protecting Siron.

A belated reaction shook the ground.

Iden swung the holy sword that was in contact with the halberd in a semicircle, sending Shiron flying backwards.

Siron was pushed back for a while and landed in a shallow stream.

She couldn’t hide her embarrassment.

“Did you forget Siron’s orders!”

“Oh no, why…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Iden shouted at Jude.

“Cancel it now!”

Jude also couldn’t understand the situation at all.

God defined demi-humans as vermin, but

a hero protects an animal? It was an absurd statement.

The moment he was conflicted, the nine-tailed fox sighed.

“Let’s talk about the female later.”

The nine-tailed fox looked at Jude. It disappeared, leaving behind a silver afterimage, and before I knew it, I was on top of the bedrock. She grabbed Jude’s mouth and lifted him up.

The unfolding calculation formula disappeared.

Blue eyes stared straight at Jude.

“Mimul, I feel bad, but I’ll save you. I promised. Don’t fight for me, okay?”

After saying that, the fox threw Jude down the ravine. I turned again and jumped off the rock

.

The nine-tailed fox quickly approached and gently waggled its tail. He looked at Iden with shining eyes as if he was hoping for something.

“I learned patience and realized that promises are important. What do you think? It’s proof that I, too, am becoming an adult.”

Aiden didn’t answer. The fact that the beast showed mercy was certainly surprising. However, it did not erase the essential sense of danger.

The nine-tailed fox smiled and took a step closer to Aiden.

“Did you do well? Touch me.”

Aiden frowned and pushed her away. I put the holy sword back and ran straight to Jude.

“Are you okay?”

Jude groaned and stood up, unable to hide his embarrassment.

“Ah, Lord Iden. How on earth am I supposed to accept this?”

“I was a slave who was under my control.”

Jude’s face became even more perplexed. The same goes for the theory that has already arrived. The two had a hard time understanding Aiden’s words.

Siron glanced at the nine-tailed fox, then immediately looked away and opened his mouth.

“Lord Iden, to be honest, I don’t understand it at all.”

Iden nodded.

“I understand. I will explain later, so please wait a moment.”

When he tried to turn to the nine-tailed fox, Jude stopped him.

“Where are you going? No.”

“That’s right. I’d rather leave now.”

Siron gently pointed at the nine-tailed fox. The fox was looking into a hand mirror and improving her appearance.

Iden shook his head.

“If you do that, everyone will die.”

Actually, there was a problem to solve.

“If anything, just stay here and watch. If you disobey even this, I won’t let you go.”

They have already disobeyed orders once. Regardless of the reason, it was a feeling of beheading. This is because the orders of superiors during missions are absolute.

Of course, Iden knew full well that they had come prepared to die. I had no intention of taking responsibility. It was just a warning for later.

Aiden turned around and said.

“It can be solved.”

He was so determined that I couldn’t stop him. I just looked at Aiden’s back with anxious eyes.

Iden slowly approached the nine-tailed fox and gestured.

“Follow me.”

She smiled brightly as she put the mirror into her bosom.

“Yeah, anywhere.”

Because it would be difficult to eavesdrop on the conversation, I kept my distance from the Aspects for a long time.

We stopped near the beginning of the rapids. Iden turned and looked straight into her eyes.

“Saya, don’t think about doing anything foolish.”

I had to protect Yuriel. Also, I couldn’t let the nine-tailed fox die. If the fox targets the saint, the paladin will make his move.

Yuriel and Saya. Losing both would be the worst.

Gumiho drew a pleasant arc.

“You’re finally calling my name?”

“Enough of the bullshit.”

I didn’t want to make a scapegoat anymore.

Saya looked at Aiden. The smile gradually disappeared and the expression became calm. she asked seriously.

“Is it precious?”

“need.”

“The kind you always spoke vaguely about?”

Iden nodded.

“who?”

“How can I trust you?”

The nine-tailed fox was silent for a moment as if he was worried. After a while, he shook his head with a cold face.

“I’m sorry, no matter how much I think about it, I can’t do it. I don’t want to step on the same ground as the female that kissed you. She’s going to die.”

Iden chewed his lips.

“Don’t be annoying. I breathed into my lungs. To save my life.”

“I believe it, but it still doesn’t work. If I’m going to endure the stench coming from your mouth, at least the culprit must disappear.”

Aiden’s eyes twinkled with frustration and anger. Soon he became quiet again and slowly stretched out his hand and placed it on the back of Saya’s head.

It seemed like he was stroking her, but then he grabbed her silver hair. She was truly agitated and her eyes widened.

Saya was completely covered with her broad shoulders so that the saints could not see her.

Covered red lips. Saya’s blue pupils dilated greatly. Immediately afterward, it trembled and then closed. Iden’s hand, which was holding her hair, was shaking.

She opened her mouth. Iden parted his lips before his tongue could be entangled.

“I can smell you now. Don’t kill me.”

Saya slowly opened her eyes. I looked at Aiden with a blush appearing on my pure white skin.

“This is the woman holding my life. Remember that.”

Aiden left those words behind and turned around. I felt dizzy and wanted to leave this place quickly.

I left the frozen Saya as is and walked towards the Aspects.

*

I was planning to get out of the forest as quickly as possible. Because I didn’t know that the nine-tailed fox might come after me.

The group rode their horses at full speed.

Dusk fell and the moon settled. The sun came bright and the sun rose in the sky. They were running even as the day was setting again.

As dusk fell, I finally saw the exit of this damn forest.

I have never encountered any giants.

It seemed to be true that the nearby seeds had dried up. The culprit must buy it. Those who reverenced fighting to the death would not have been able to shake off the temptation of being a nine-tailed fox.

However, Iden wondered if it could be defined as a fight. There was a high probability that it was a one-sided massacre.

Jude, who was following, shouted.

“Lord Iden! I can’t stand words!”

Petra also seemed to be at her limit.

“Let’s slow down.”

Iden slowly slowed down. Before I knew it, the gaps between the trees had widened infinitely, and yellow roads appeared sparsely on the once green land.

An area where the vitality of the forest is weakening. As we rode slowly and headed straight ahead, we came across terrain that could no longer be called a forest.

The giant trees that stretched all the way to the sky were withered and on the verge of falling. Also, the barren land was no less than that of the eastern part of the empire.

There was something different from the County of Carshua. The presence or absence of Magi. This place had a very gloomy atmosphere with purple energy settling down like fog.

There was nothing in the desolate red-brown field.

Jude looked around and frowned as if he was disgusted.

“It’s a place called the Land of Screams.”

Iden moved forward slowly. There was no sign of life.

However, people live here too. The common people of the principality. They were the pillars that supported the Demon Suzerainty.

Iden walked slowly across the barren land. Before we knew it, the sun had passed and the full moon was lighting up the night sky.

I stopped in front of a strange, twisted old pine tree.

“I’ll walk from here.”

Aiden said. The reins were tied to a pole.

The church decided to dispatch personnel separately to retrieve the warhorse.

The saints also got off their horses and stepped on the ground.

They disarmed all of their weapons, placed them under a tree, and sprinkled red-brown ocher on top to hide them.

I took out a piece of loose cloth from the backpack attached to the saddle and changed my clothes. Goat’s entire body, with his bandages removed, was covered in terrible burn marks.

There was no hair, and most of the eyes, nose, and mouth were melted.

There seemed to be a story.

Jude had an uncharacteristically stocky body for a wizard, and Siron had bigger breasts than he looked.

Iden said, looking around at the group.

“From now on, focus only on operations. Forget about the nine-tailed fox for a moment.”

Mistakes should not be made by being caught up in thoughts. It was also a warning to Aiden himself.

The three nodded.

“I will hear the explanation later.”

Aiden took another step. The saints walked behind him.

After walking for quite some time, I saw private houses built sparsely on the red-brown land.

It was so flimsy that it seemed like it would fall apart if you touched it.

Long beyond that, there was a city that was brightly lit even at night.

A civilization built on an artificial island. It was a culmination of magical engineering built up through the cries of the common people.

The residents living in the Land of Screams were sacrifices for that night.

It wasn’t just expression.

Great evil Gu Xian.

The person the dukedom worships is the source of the Demon Lord, who is in charge of ‘Despair’.

Gu Xian demands human screams from his followers. The reward paid was a magical achievement.

Low-income people were the scapegoats.

Iden watched them from afar.

Dead people with black undereye eyes were moving rocks. He picked up the stone, moved a few paces, and put it down. I picked it up again and brought it back to its original place.

The series of processes was repeated infinitely.

An old man with a sore spine cried out. However, labor continued. The demonic energy imprinted on his soul made it impossible for him to rest.

A small child cried as he looked at his mother’s broken body. The boy’s head moved along the corpse. There was nothing I could do because my legs were walking on their own.

In addition, countless humans screamed. The more they cried, the more brilliantly the city shone.

Jude swallowed and Siron gritted his teeth. However, I could not sympathize with the heretics.

“It’s hell.”

“It’s the price of serving the wrong being.”

“I guess so.”

I wanted to ask him if he really thought that. In Aiden’s eyes, he could only be seen as a victim.

At that time, someone screamed and held his head.

Because there were no residents who did not scream, the voice was muffled, but it was noticeable because it was alone and did something different.

It seemed to be resisting demonic energy. Finally, I started running.

There are people like that sometimes, and even that was something the principality was happy to do.

This was because the common people had a ban that prevented them from leaving a certain radius, and as soon as they realized this fact, despair welled up and became the food of the principality.

The woman ran like crazy in the direction of the group.

Her face was green and drenched in magic energy.

I was running frantically, as if I couldn’t even see ahead, and bumped into Aiden.

Aiden supported the falling woman’s back. She lost the baby she was carrying. Aiden’s free hand held the baby.

The woman immediately fell down and desperately groped the ground.

“Oh baby. My baby. Where is the baby? Where are you? Where are you…”

Magi’s eyes were covered in black.

Jude and Siron’s eyes fluctuated.

Aiden was at eye level with the woman and placed the child in his arms.

The woman put her head on the ground and began to beg.

“I’m sorry. I’m going to die. I didn’t run away. I took a wrong turn. I can’t see. I’m sorry. The child. Please just save the child. Please, please, please.”

Iden got down on one knee and lifted her upper body. In the meantime, the woman prayed.

“Don’t be scared. It won’t hurt you.”

Yupe stuck her head out from within the embrace. She opened her mouth wide and absorbed demonic energy.

The purple skin regained its original color, and the black membrane covering the eyes slowly opened.

Jude, who was quietly watching the scene, made the sign of the cross.

“Bacheksar, what should I do?”

I couldn’t even understand the theory.
