Dark Fantasy Paladin Chapter 123
Episode 123
Vatican Congregation for Prosecutors and Prosecutors. It was the headquarters of the Heresy Inquisition and the largest religious court in the empire.
The saints transported the paladin to that terrible place. It was because of Iden’s order to bring him underground. I bet you thought they were going to torture you.
It was a method that did not work.
Since it was impossible to inflict physical pain on Murciela, the issue had to be resolved solely through dialogue.
Iden looked at the paladin.
In the interrogation room of the Ministry of Public Prosecutors, Paladin was sitting restrained on the punishment seat.
He met Aiden’s gaze and opened his mouth.
“Are you planning on leaving them here?”
Heretic newspaper officers lined up behind Aiden. All of them were advisory experts and the best talent in the field.
Their hideous expressions, tools of unknown use, and the interior made of cold stone walls combined to create a creepy atmosphere.
Most people open their mouths as soon as they are brought here. Because I was so afraid. Murciela was an exception.
Iden said with his eyes fixed on the paladin.
“Everyone get out.”
One of the interrogators looked at Aiden’s back and lowered his head.
“I’ll be waiting outside. “Please call me anytime.”
With that, he led the rest and left the interrogation room.
Iden leaned back against the backrest. I slowly opened my mouth.
“Let’s check first. Did you pass through the force field with Gu Xian?”
The bound paladin answered.
“There was a gap of about 10 minutes. “My side left a little late.”
“Gu Xian probably didn’t know that you were going to fall.”
Paladin chuckled.
“I would never have dreamed of it. That idiot was just bait. To tie you up.”
It was as Aiden expected.
“You’re drinking alcohol.”
“Do you like it?”
Iden stared at him intently. After a while, he let out a calm voice.
“So what is Gu Xian’s purpose? “He must have had his own reasons for crossing over.”
“Petersarkin’s command, the Grand Throne of the Gyu-Hwan-Gye, revenge on you, the ‘despair’ of Godhead gained by killing your comrade. It’s more than enough motivation to come over. I mixed it well and used it.”
It was almost similar to what I guessed.
“Petersarkin’s orders. “It looks like your tongue can reach the devil too.”
“Otherwise, the work couldn’t have progressed.”
A white tiger jumped out of Aiden’s arms.
“Did you see the demon spirit?”
The paladin drew a line.
“I also had a drink.”
“really? But for that to be the case, I think your point is a bit… um… a dick. “If it were true, I would have lived a life like a real novel.”
The white tiger looked up at Aiden.
“Can I take a look? “I can check everything and let you know.”
“You will fail. “It doesn’t matter if you try.”
She nodded her head vigorously. Then he looked at Murciela. Eyes stained black. But nothing was seen.
“······There’s a lot of fog. “Like you, Aiden.”
Because Murciela was also someone who remembered.
Aiden put his hands under both of Baekho’s armpits and lifted him up.
“You go out now.”
“But me too…”
“I’m limited in what I can say. hurry.”
A dejected white tiger stepped on the floor. I pestered him a few more times, but Aiden was stubborn.
I had no choice but to leave the interrogation room. It’s probably hiding in your arms. I felt like I was being fussy for no reason.
The paladin opened his mouth as soon as the white tiger disappeared.
“How can Taekwang be curious about my success story?”
“I’m not interested at all. “Let’s stop talking.”
“This is unfortunate. I think my story will be just as enjoyable as yours. “The methods may be slightly different.”
Even if you didn’t listen, you could probably understand it. Aiden changed the topic.
“Where did you go immediately after crossing over to the continent?”
Instead of going straight to the Holy Kingdom, he passed through another place. If I had gone straight to the Pope’s palace, Iden would have missed the timing.
When Murciella was on the continent, Iden was handling a lot of work.
He fought Gusian, blossomed Saya’s tail, and recruited Elquidora and the Earth Dragon. Is that it? They went all the way to the north and brought the Miao people with them.
Although I saved a lot of time thanks to the high-performance vehicle, it took at least a week.
What was Murciela doing on the continent during that long hiatus?
Paladin opened his mouth.
“I was looking for idiots. The ‘those who remember’ in this world didn’t move. “By this time, the rumor about them should have spread all the way to the demonic region, but I didn’t hear about it.”
12 Yoo Ji-tae ascended to heaven to create a body called ‘Aiden’. Of course I couldn’t do anything this time.
He seemed to find him strange.
Iden asked.
“So did you find it?”
“of course. It’s in a monastery in the south. To be precise, it was only my body that was caught in the gap between space and time.”
Aiden slowly opened his mouth.
“······How long have you been there?”
Paladin grinned.
“I saw you arrive too.”
In short, they were together at the monastery.
Ji Tae-yu and Aiden’s premonitions were correct.
Murciella overheard the entire conversation from the side of the Cheongun.
Paladin was back.
“That Ji Tae-yu guy always had a good sense. Do you remember? ‘Murciela has no substance. It can exist anywhere there is magic energy. ‘Maybe he’s next to us right now.’ This is what Ji Tae-yu said. Even I was a little embarrassed. But you already guessed it. “Wouldn’t that mean that Taekwang already knew me?”
Common sense suggests that Aiden could not have known Murciela.
Because the episode we ran together didn’t exist at all.
From Murciela’s point of view, Aiden was a character who stood out in this episode.
Aiden’s situation was different. Because he manipulated Murciela himself, he knew his characteristics better than anyone else.
This was the reason why the principle of action could be inferred.
It was difficult for Murciela to understand that. How can you understand something when you don’t even know it in person?
Aiden answered.
“Like you said, I know you. “But I can’t tell you why.”
“I told you all this, but I’d like to get at least one piece of it.”
“It is a secret related to this world. Therefore, it is bound to a taboo and the moment it is revealed, one dies.”
I couldn’t say that because you’re a character I created.
The paladin looked at Iden with a strange expression.
“He bypassed me and went straight to the basement of the Pope’s Palace. The Paladin was causing a ruckus, but you didn’t even hesitate. How did you know my purpose? It would be difficult to do that unless you are sure. “Maybe everyone there is dead.”
Iden shook his head.
“It was just a guess.”
Because Murciella was not a great person who would do something like this just to steal a paladin.
Aiden followed.
“Also, as I said, I know you better than your purpose. Don’t you have any aptitude for combat? It’s not something that can be made up for with effort. If the Paladin himself had moved, he would not have been able to stop it with the power of the Sword Saint or the Four Demons. But you are Murciela. “I can’t even bring out half of my power.”
Murciella chuckled.
“You know me. “Well, it’s beyond that level of understanding.”
“Did you get the answer? If not, don’t ask any more. “I ask the questions.”
Murciella drew a subtle line.
“Since you know so well, I’m sure you understand. I wasn’t captured. I walked on my own feet. “We can stop this conversation right now.”
Iden nodded.
“I guess so. All you have to do is commit suicide.”
It was difficult to prevent him from committing suicide with anything. It wasn’t even an authority, so it couldn’t be absorbed using the Divine Magic Path.
The structure of its body made immediate suicide possible.
Murciela said with admiration.
“If my arms weren’t tied up, I would at least clap my hands. “Are you my creator?”
Murciela has never revealed his body to the public. In any episode.
Aiden was annoyed for no reason. I opened my mouth calmly.
“If you want to die, die. However, this episode is the last. “I will stop the apocalypse, and there will be no place for you in that world.”
If the world did not fall, there would be no retrograde.
The guy was trying to commit suicide under the premise of ‘return’. The reason we are talking here is probably to prepare for the next episode of Aiden.
He had to dig up information.
The Paladin smiled and opened his mouth.
“How can you be so sure? I have seen beyond the apocalypse.”
“I went too. “I stopped along the way.”
“Oh, you’re just like me.”
It was natural. Because Iden manipulated it himself.
Paladin said.
“But is it different this time? Only when all intelligent beings are destroyed will the devil disappear. “You won’t be able to twist it.”
“possible. “Before that, let me ask you a few more questions.”
“There are conditions. Please share the method with me.”
“good night.”
In response to the immediate answer, Murciella frowned as if puzzled.
Iden asked.
“At the monastery I said that I was preparing the arrows of Perm. “Did you go to Paladin as soon as you heard that?”
Because you can stop it with the Divine Interceptor.
“Yes, but it was a long time ago. Arrows that kill unconditionally can only be used if you fully understand your opponent. No one knows my true self, so how can I shoot someone? I tried to ignore it, but it made me anxious. “I thought there might be a basis for that confidence.”
Immediately afterward, Murciella must have gone straight to Paladin.
Iden opened his mouth.
“So does that mean you changed your plan? “It sounds like you originally had no intention of using Paladin.”
Paladin nodded.
“Combat is not my field.”
“Then what were you originally going to do?”
“It’s not a major issue. From the moment I first crossed over, the continent was over. It would have been fine to use the Demon Church, and even if the demon beasts had been released, the Pope’s palace would have been empty. “There are so many ways to do it.”
It looks like he used his wits as soon as he heard Fama’s arrow. Paladin raised the corner of his mouth.
“Taekwang made a mistake. Even though he had a premonition that I was next to him, he put the arrow of perm in his mouth.”
Iden shook his head.
“I told you to listen. “It’s a shame to lose an army just to catch one of you.”
In the past, Iden was unable to pinpoint Murciela’s intentions. Murciella might become a parasite on the Heavenly Army carrying out its mission. What if you fire an arrow like that? Murciel will die, but so will one of the 12 Yoo Ji-tae.
There was one way to twist the plot. Spitting the arrow of perm out of the mouth. If he’s listening, he’ll come up with some kind of solution. At least you won’t be parasitic on Heaven’s army.
In the meantime, the safety of the heavenly army is guaranteed.
Even if I wasn’t eavesdropping, it didn’t matter to Iden.
Just pierce it and kill it. That was the best ending.
Of course, now it was neither the former nor the latter. Because Murciela did not aim for the Heavenly Army from the beginning.
All of this was not a mistake, but rather a result of Aiden’s inadequacy.
Paladin, who understood what was going on, raised the corners of his mouth.
“This is quite clever. “The porridge will fit well.”
Iden ignored what he said and moved on to the next question.
“Finally, why did you break away from the source?”
I was most curious and wanted to hear an exact answer.
If you think about it simply, it was like that.
The ending he is trying to create. Eliminate all sources and then subdue them. The origin seat will be completely destroyed, and furthermore, all demons will be cut off.
However, it was an impossible method.
This is because Barmont was a special case and most sources never escape no matter what they do.
If that were possible, anyone would have easily seen the ending. Murciela would not be unaware of that fact.
“Answer me.”
The Paladin made a sly expression.
“It’s my turn. Please share the method you mentioned earlier. How do you plan on twisting the apocalypse?”
The end he spoke of was the extinction of all intelligent beings. A world without devils or humans. Users who chose the Demon World as their background could only see this ending.
Of course, this is only from the user’s perspective, and if it were a true devil, it would place the highest value on the domestication of humans.
Murciella didn’t like either ending.
Because he was a devil and Yoo Ji-tae. The moment Yoo Ji-tae gave up on the ending was still etched in Murciela’s mind.
Shit game, shit ending.
Aiden slowly opened his mouth.
“I am watching.”
Murciella narrowed her brows.
“What if it’s surveillance?”
“Seekers of destruction grow by eating demons. As you know, there is no shortage of food for me in this world. It means that there are no limits to my power. “If we build mountains and create black seas with the corpses of devils, the time will come someday.”
The Paladin’s expression gradually became perplexed.
Aiden continued calmly.
“When I finally reach the level, I will disappear beneath the earth along with all my evil intentions.”
I will gather all the demons in this world into one place and monitor them. That’s what he was saying.
Paladin stuttered before opening his mouth.
“What…”
“It means the same. “I will watch over you for eternity so that demons cannot come out into the world.”
Murciella stared at Aiden for a long time. After thinking for a long time, I muttered.
“No new devil is born…”
“That’s right.”
The guy swallowed a laugh.
“It is truly a radical method.”
Paladin raised his head. I looked directly at Aiden and opened my mouth.
“…how noble you are.”
Iden stood up. He said as if he was hemorrhaging blood because he could no longer bear the stench.
“Repent if you like, you bastard.”
The hearts of the seeker of destruction and Yoo Ji-tae were colliding.
