Dark Fantasy Paladin - Chapter 12

Dark Fantasy Paladin Chapter 12

Episode 12.

A strong grip crushed Daryl’s airway and blocked his breathing. Aiden subdued him like a beast and pinned him firmly to the wall.

“Mongrel, let’s see what you look like.”

Daryl spat foam out of his mouth. There were black threads running across his pupils.

“Why are you hesitating?”

Iden’s characteristic of being enraged by demons imbued him with a terrible murderous intent.

I wanted to burn its whole body and rip out its head, but a shred of reason remained.

I couldn’t use divine power.

With his free hand, Aiden brought the vial containing holy water to his mouth and opened the cap.

Then he slowly thrust it into Daryl’s face.

“Are you planning to run away without even being able to resist? “Before that, reveal your ugly nature.”

Huh. Huh. Daryl opened his mouth desperately. The two eyes began to play separately like reptiles, and the round pupils began to turn vertical.

“Look at this.”

Iden smiled cruelly and dropped a drop of holy water on Daryl’s face.

God’s fall is so poisonous to demons that even a very small amount can cause fatal injuries.

The more devil’s blood is mixed in, the higher the devil is. It causes greater pain.

Chi-ik! Daryl’s skin was burning and giving off an unpleasant odor. The stench of the devil. The face touched by the holy water was covered with smooth scales.

“You got mixed up with Sentinel.”

They were a race of demons in the shape of snakes that lived in the demon world.

Iden started a fight and threw Daryl, who was convulsing, to the floor.

He desperately covered his mouth and muttered. As if trying to prevent screams from escaping.

Aiden was a little puzzled. You won’t be able to endure it? It was common for people to cry out desperately and then slowly die.

Iden laid down on his stomach and turned the moaning Daryl over with his feet.

Daryl’s eyes as he looked at Iden were pleading for something.

It wasn’t a begging for life.

“Three three. Sein… keheeook.”

Iden grabbed his hair and pulled him closer.

“what? “Say it straight.”

“My younger brother. “I don’t know…”

Daryl couldn’t speak properly. The moment Iden was about to ask again, the locked door was opened.

“Lord Iden.”

They were female knight Sistine and priest Bandel.

Aiden looked at the two with a bewildered expression. They didn’t seem surprised at all by Daryl’s true appearance.

“What kind of bullshit are you talking about? “If you don’t explain it properly, you too will die here.”

Sistine trembled and Vandel swallowed a groan.

The two immediately composed themselves and calmly opened their mouths.

“Lord Iden, as a sworn knight, I swear that I will never be tainted by evil.”

“I am also a human being who has dedicated my life to God. “I cannot be deceived by the enemy of God.”

Iden threatened in a low voice.

“I asked you to explain. “It’s an oath and a dedication, so I didn’t ask you to repeat lip service.”

Sistine carefully opened her mouth as she closed the open door.

“······Daryl is a quarter. Priest Bandel and I are watching and protecting him by order of the Archbishop. Sometimes we carried out missions together.”

The vague hypothesis was gradually becoming more certain.

There was an incident in the middle of the game where Archmage Kadak reduced the church headquarters to ruins.

In the end, Paladin (the best paladin) overpowered Kadak, but the damage was indescribably devastating.

It was a big incident, but it was not dealt with in detail. This is because around the middle of the game, the user had no influence to intervene in the fight between such powerful players. No matter how fast the growth is.

anyway. Kadak’s motive for the attack was revenge.

Hatred of the religious order that was destroying its disciples. From what Iden remembered, the Archmage’s disciples were mixed race.

A half-demon with a mix of demon and human blood. The denomination did not separately disclose the names.

I just heard through rumors that one of the students was a magician, but now I see that it was Sein. Daryl’s younger sister.

Aiden was embarrassed. I never thought Archbishop Tegain was behind it.

Daryl and Sein, the archmage’s disciple and demon hunter brother and sister, were abandoned by Tegain.

Iden looked at Daryl, who was complaining of pain.

“I guess I’ll be able to hold on because it’s a quota.”

A quarter of black blood was flowing inside the guy’s body.

Iden chewed his lips and asked the priest and knight.

“Did the Archbishop expect me not to notice?”

Sistine shook her head.

“no. However, even if you notice it, when you use divine power. In other words, he thought you would figure it out during the mission. “The Archbishop told me to give the Lord his word before that.”

While Sistine was trying to figure out the right time to speak, Iden noticed and ended up in this situation.

“So what should I do?” “You want me to slaughter a hunting dog?”

A deep look appeared on Sistine’s face. As she glanced outside the room, her eyes sank pitifully.

Sistina moved closer to Iden so Daryl couldn’t hear. And then he whispered into my ear.

“I will leave it to Lord Iden’s judgment.” He told me to use it if I thought it was necessary for the mission, and to kill it if I didn’t. “I also said that I would not get involved as the decision after the mission is over is the Lord’s authority.”

Iden felt like his heart was pounding. Tegain may not know it, but if he kills this guy, disaster will come.

Archmage Kadak. It wasn’t enough for that monster to turn the entire kingdom upside down, so it had to find Aiden.

“Shit.”

After thinking about it for a while, Iden decided that killing him directly was not the right choice.

Seeker of Destruction is a very good trait, but I felt really shitty every time I ran into a situation like this.

Because I had to somehow suppress a desire that was several times stronger than my sexual desire.

“Bring the people in.”

Daryl’s face, which had been convulsing in pain, turned even whiter.

“what. I don’t know… Huh. “Three people.”

Aiden barely held back the rising murderous intent and grabbed his snout hard.

“Do not open your mouth in front of me. Don’t breathe or say anything. Do you understand?”

This is because the smell of the devil’s breath and black blood clouded my reason.

Sistina looked at Aiden’s gaze and hesitated before opening her mouth.

“······In fact, people in the world do not know that they are a quota. Moreover, strangely enough, there have been no cases of mutation and it has not shown any resistance to divine power.”

Iden could roughly guess the reason. Kadak must have planted a special artifact or blocked it with magic.

And what about Daryl? I had this question, but I couldn’t figure it out right away.

Whatever it was, this whole situation was extremely stressful for Iden.

I felt lucky if I didn’t spill any gastric fluid anywhere.

“It’s so fucked up.”

“sorry.”

“Please understand.”

Sistine and Vandel bowed their heads at the same time.

Iden thought there was no reason for them to apologize to him. In that case, their apology is most likely an attitude born of guilt.

“You sympathize with mixed-race siblings.”

Their expressions froze as if they were embarrassed. Seeing that there wasn’t even a denial, it seemed like Iden’s guess was correct.

Iden approached the priest and knight who were standing as if they were stuck in place.

“The sworn knight and the sworn priest stand side by side, defending and pitying the mongrels. “I don’t understand at all.”

Sistine’s face turned blue.

“······sorry. I won’t make excuses. However, what I have felt while watching the siblings over the past few months is that they are closer to humans than demons. I hope there is at least a glimmer of mercy in your judgment.”

“Did you mess with Daryl?”

Sistine’s face heated up. I immediately shook my head.

“I swear in the name of His Majesty the Emperor and the Holy Father that such a thing has never happened.”

It didn’t seem like a lie. What I meant was that I wasn’t defending Daryl because of the military.

“What about the priest? “Looking at the priest, it seems like Lord Sistine has similar thoughts.”

Vandel hesitated and opened his mouth.

“It is true that the siblings had cold blood flowing through their veins, but the red blood that filled the rest was warmer than anyone else’s. Just as light can swallow up darkness, I think it will be possible for them if they have the opportunity.”

Do the siblings have the ability to roast and boil people, or is what they felt real? Aiden didn’t know.

“I’m just curious whether you can say that even while hanging on the scaffold of an inquisitor.”

Both of their faces turned pale. It may not have been a crime to use mixed race people by order of the archbishop, but virginity was another matter.

“That…”

“That’s done.”

Iden found it difficult even to be in this room. I felt like it would calm me down a little if I got some fresh air.

I left the two behind and went to visit.

‘Let’s cool off.’

When I left the room and went outdoors, I caught sight of the half-demon again.

Euron and Sein were talking in the inn garden late at night.

The girl listened to Euron’s story with her eyes shining brightly.

Euron was so engrossed in it that he made all kinds of gestures, wondering what was so exciting.

“Don’t look back! After shouting like this, he engages in a desperate fight with the Dark Warrior, but the spear whizzes! It flew and stuck in the guy’s torso, and Sir Iden rushed in in an instant and cut the guy into pieces. Now then, what was I doing at that time…”

Sein burst into laughter.

“Do you think there’s an eye on the back of your stupid brother’s head? “You said you told me not to look back, so how can you be so oblivious?”

Euron scratched his head.

“Haha, what can I say… I guess it’s like saying that if you fight with your back to back, you have something in common. Haha, something like that.”

“Ugh, what is that? Anyway, so. “What were you doing at that time?”

“me? “What am I, a dead man who caught fire while Lord Iden was discussing his story with the enemy commander…”

Euron smiled a little bitterly as he finished speaking.

“Actually, it didn’t help much. The interrogator did it all. I think I just swung the knife because I was so intoxicated by the feeling that I was doing something… Actually, I couldn’t even think about it. haha.”

“I know what it is. The Holy Knight is your idol. “You respect me, right?”

“of course. It must be harder to find someone like that among new recruits, right? “There is a flame that can never be extinguished, called the burning flame of a fire, and inside it–”

Aiden, who unintentionally overheard, felt uncomfortable for no reason and wanted to leave, but couldn’t.

The shame of integrity was taking hold.

“If everything you say is true, you are truly a hero worthy of appearing in the Bible. “The Holy Knight.”

Euron, who was nodding his head, looked at Sein’s chest with a curious expression.

“But what is that? “It suddenly shines.”

“This one? This is the necklace my teacher gave me, and it will embrace the light when a great hero appears who will rewrite the Bible that has stopped. “I will lead him to the ruins where the holy relics rest… huh?”

The necklace was becoming brighter and brighter.

“Why is this?”

“It can’t possibly be me-”

“Probably not. “I guess.”
