Dark Fantasy Paladin Chapter 124
Episode 124
I can watch over all the demons alone. It was a very radical and primitive method, but Murciela caught a glimpse of the noble spirit in it.
The jailer of the abyss and the eternal watcher. A being who hates the devil more than anyone else tries to embrace all the evil in the world.
It will be a never-ending cycle. Carrying the burden of peace and existence on both shoulders, I will forever be with the demons I hate so much.
Murciella looked up at Aiden. The gaze we met was calm and calm, as if we had made up our minds a long time ago.
There wasn’t even a single lie mixed in. He was seriously thinking about going through with it.
Murciella slowly opened her mouth.
“······It will be heavy.”
“It’s not your problem.”
Iden didn’t want to hear the obvious, but Murciela continued.
“It is truly noble, but in the end it will be crushed by the leaden mass of time. Even if you endure, the world will forget that you exist. Time will tell. When one hundred years, two hundred years, and eternity had passed, the name Taekwang would have already weathered away with time and disappeared like dust. “It means no one will remember your sacrifice.”
That might happen. In a world where the main enemy, the devil, has disappeared, the power of God will no longer be needed.
Religion will remain just a pillar that supports people’s hearts. You will never truly feel God next to Him like you do now.
Even myths can be distorted and transformed to suit the tastes of those in power.
The faith will continue, but that faith will not be directed to the current Aiden. They only served Taekwang, who was corrupted by history.
Aiden let out a calm voice.
“Does not matter.”
Murciella looked dejected.
“Other gods may rob you of your feats. No, I’m sure it will. Shaylan, the sea god, will claim that he has submerged all the demons, and Jimo will say that he has created abundance by turning malice into fertilizer. What do you think the nine-tailed fox will do? He will surely advertise that he has purified dirty souls. I don’t think even Bacheksar will be any different. “It will rob my son of his merits.”
Iden shook his head.
“That doesn’t happen.”
“How can you be so certain?”
“When I leave with the demons, all the thrones will be empty.”
Murciella narrowed her brows.
“······In other words, I will slaughter all the gods.”
“I will do it if there is no other way.”
“Do you want one God?”
“similar.”
Although it was truly impossible, Murciela felt a glimmer of hope. Because the person who spoke was Aiden. Due to his nature as a seeker of destruction, there were no limits to his powerlessness.
To become the one god, strength alone is not enough, but it was the first step.
What if Iden can absorb the values that the rest of the gods govern? I didn’t know that I might actually get closer to the one God.
Only one god. Iden was saying that he would become such a unique being and disappear.
“Why so much?”
“It’s a useless question. “Ignore my intentions and just look at the results.”
The end will not come.
It was an ideal ending for everyone except Iden and the demon.
Murciella was lost in thought. He calmed down his expression and opened his mouth again a moment later.
“It was a useful conversation.”
Iden took out a piece of parchment from his pocket. An indulgence obtained from Arhan. It was an artifact that forgave sins unconditionally according to the subject’s will to repent.
Even devils can become human if they repent.
Aiden said.
“Take out the main body. “I need your blood.”
Murciella shook her head.
“I will not become human.”
“You can’t have the devil around.”
“This is a breakdown.”
Iden frowned.
“Then there is nothing but death.”
Murciella chuckled.
“Do you know how many devils have been pardoned with indulgence over a thousand years? There is only one. Our people choose death only when they become human. “I am also a devil.”
lie. The mind’s eye judged it that way.
It meant that there were other reasons why it could not be humanized.
Aiden said.
“If you’re thinking of going back to the Demon World and acting like a Ganja, stop. By failing in this matter, you have lost Peter Sarkin’s trust. “It’s hard to help me there.”
He drew an arc.
“I don’t remember saying I was with you.”
“Then decide now. “What should I do?”
I was planning to look into his mind to see exactly what his intentions were.
“Your mouth is heavy.”
Iden nodded.
“Then die.”
I felt strange. The feeling of vomiting along with the words. It may be because they consider them children.
I was thinking of pulling out a knife. If necessary, I had to endure it all the time.
Murciella slowly raised the corners of her mouth.
“Why did you escape the grief? “Didn’t you ask that?”
This was the only part of Murciela’s behavior that I could not understand.
The guy opened his mouth again.
“It was to live as a parasite on the soul of a unique entity.”
A rare expression of agitation flashed across Aiden’s face.
Unique object. Even when they die, their souls do not disappear immediately but are temporarily returned to the underworld.
It was the same with Saya in the past. Spiritual creatures were also exclusive beings, so they did not die but went to the underworld.
This was also the reason why the power of the lion’s resurrection did not reverse the cause and effect of ‘annihilation’ but simply requested the resurrection of Saya from the God of the Underworld.
If Uriel had used the power of the sea god on an ordinary human, the underworld god ‘Mavet’ would not have intervened.
In short, it meant that a unique entity lived two lives.
Once in the present world and once in the lower world. Of course, it was difficult to view the latter case as a true life. Because only the soul remained, waiting for eternal death.
Aiden said.
“Your soul is going down to the Underworld with Barmont?”
I was able to roughly understand the reason for awakening the source.
It was Murciela’s insurance. We assumed the possibility of failure on the continent.
In other words, he would have become a parasite on Barmont and tried to escape.
Even the divine force field could not prevent the soul’s return to the underworld.
Murciela stopped laughing and shook his head.
“It was supposed to be that way, but things got a little different.”
“Because you probably didn’t know exactly what the four powers are.”
“Yes, that’s right. It’s a fatal mistake. “My soul was captured by the nine-tailed fox.”
Saya freely manipulates the souls of others. There was no way I wouldn’t have noticed the parasite.
As Murciela, it was difficult to understand Saya’s level because she had not experienced the Nine-Tailed Fox in any of the episodes.
In a way, it was a feat of heaven. Because they have been killing baby nine-tailed foxes every time the world goes backwards. It created a disconnection of information.
Murciella said.
“But do you know what? “My spirit has been nearby since a while ago.”
I wondered what that meant. Just as Iden was wondering, the door to the interrogation room slowly opened with a friction sound.
Saya was standing. Very cold eyes. The gaze he looked at Iden was so cold.
I’ve never seen an expression like that on a lover before.
“······It’s ridiculous, really.”
You must have overheard the conversation. I would have understood everything except for the parts that were forbidden.
There is even talk of calling themselves the devil’s watchers.
Saya said, chewing her lips.
“Iden, are you serious?”
Iden felt extremely dizzy. I felt sorry for myself for not being able to detect my footsteps even with my good hearing.
It may have flown, but… it was just like that.
Iden couldn’t think of the best answer, so he kept his mouth shut.
“answer quickly.”
It was difficult to brush it off or lie.
Aiden sighed softly and opened his mouth.
“sorry.”
“Did you ask me to apologize? “I asked you if you were serious.”
Saya couldn’t accept it. Why should only Iden bear such pain? It was something that should never have happened.
When there was no answer, the air began to turn cold.
Murciela, who was quietly watching the scene, cleared his throat.
“Can’t we have that conversation later, slowly?”
He then pointed to his and Barmont’s souls that were tied up in the air.
“Life is coming to an end. “If you don’t send me to the underworld, I will disappear.”
Aiden studied his lover’s expression. It was hard as wax, so it was difficult to release it right away.
For now, he returned to the matter at hand.
“It’s the same even if you go to the lower world.”
It could not be resurrected. Except in a few ways.
Murciella shook her head.
“It was twisted. You also provided one more solution.”
“You mean Jura?”
Yoo Ji-tae’s ninth character, Jura, went down to the underworld. It was to make a contract with ancient spirits.
Murciella drew an arc.
“That’s right. “It would be nice to sneak in.”
It won’t be easy.
“Anyway, I don’t have much of a choice. “Since you are a parasite on Barmont, you must go down to the lower world.”
Aiden said, casting a glance at Saya.
“no. If you tear your soul, you will be completely destroyed.”
The nine-tailed fox was even able to delete the soul of its own individual.
Murciela opened her mouth.
“I know roughly. So do you want to do that?”
“I should do it. “You refused to be excused.”
“As I said, devils are inherently creatures that cannot live as humans. It’s impossible, but you keep forcing me…”
“Stop talking bullshit. I see lies. What is the real reason? “There would be no sense of belonging to the devil.”
You could tell just by looking at the fact that they were not aiming for human domestication.
If he were a devil by nature, he would have already seen the ending.
Murciella drew an arc.
“It would definitely be boring to be trapped with demons in eternity. “As a prisoner, I will be a companion to you, the guard.”
truth. But that couldn’t have been just one reason.
Iden opened his mouth.
“You clearly agree with my plan. “Isn’t even a weak excuse predicated on my success?”
Be it a conversation or anything else, it was only possible if Iden trapped the devil.
“But I don’t understand why you insist on the devil.”
“It’s just like I said. Also, there are probably more things you can do as a demon than as a human. “Am I not Murciela?”
“You avoided my question about whether you would join us. “How can I trust you and send you to the devil’s land?”
“That’s because I don’t completely agree with your plan. There’s one big problem. Can you guarantee that Taekwang’s heart will not be broken even for eons? “You might say it’s possible, but I’m not sure.”
When Iden, exhausted, stops watching, the apocalypse comes again.
The guy continued.
“You will need to fix this error. “You can’t carry everything alone.”
The demon stared straight at Iden.
“However, this Murciela supports your noble beliefs. I will find a way out. “There must be another way.”
After thinking for a moment, Iden opened his mouth.
“What do you plan on taking responsibility for the failure?”
“Petersarkin cannot blame me. “It was made that way.”
Murciella smiled strangely.
“But Taekwang is a little different from the rumors?”
Saya was clearly feeling strange too.
The guy continued.
“I heard you hate even the devil’s breath, but you’ve been talking to me for such a long time. It also seems like they are trying to save me somehow.”
The guy grinned.
“I’m sorry if it’s a mistake.”
“It’s an illusion.”
“I apologize.”
Aiden looked at Murciela’s soul. There was little time left and a decision had to be made.
Either send it to the underworld or tear it up.
After thinking about it, I made up my mind. Where I turned my gaze, Saya was still standing like ice.
I felt like I was going to break my head trying to make a decision, but something even more painful was waiting for me.
Iden was afraid of the future that was destined for him.
I sighed softly and opened my mouth.
