Dark Fantasy Paladin Chapter 138
Episode 138
Deep night on the eastern coast of Sanctuary. Although it was a polar night, the beach was bright.
This is because the divine light consecrated by white sun floated over the sandy beach and water.
Unlike usual, it was full of people’s sounds.
“You idiots! So, are you going to step on the devil with that? Clench your teeth and run! Swing it!”
“There is no time to rest! Greg, while you rest, the devil continues to multiply! “Time won’t wait for you!”
Military training was in full swing. Dawn Corps, the first unit deployed in the first landing operation. They burned their fighting spirit day and night.
The roar of the drakes crossed the night sky, and the halos of the paladins melted the darkness.
The mermaids were preparing an amphibious assault, and the elves were using the World Tree to remodel supply ships and transport ships.
The same goes for Ain. The heilangs were engrossed in rehearsing their mobile strike.
As such, the Dawn Legion was composed of many races. Joint training was essential.
Saya quietly watched them. Sitting on the edge of a cliff with blank eyes.
He muttered softly.
“······Why are you like that?”
At the same time, a voice came from behind me.
“The reasons will be different for each person.”
Saya turned her head. The uninvited guest who appeared through the bushes was Yuriel.
The saint bowed her head slightly.
“sorry. Did you disturb me?”
“How long have you been there?”
Saya didn’t notice at all.
“It must have been about three hours.”
After saying that, Yuriel pointed to her green cloak.
The shadow of the World Tree. It was an artifact that completely erased the presence of the wearer. It only activates when you step on grass.
Yuriel added.
“His Holiness ordered us to avoid the devil. But I used it to spy on His Majesty. sorry.”
Saya looked straight ahead again.
“I saw a weakness, so why not bite it like an animal?”
Yuriel came over and sat down next to Saya. Their hair was blowing in the wind.
“No, it’s not the first time.”
“what?”
“When the moon is red, Your Majesty always comes here. He quietly looks at the sea or sometimes cries silently. “Today it’s both.”
Saya let out a laugh.
“So you watched me every night under the red moon? “It must have been quite fun.”
Yuriel shook his head.
“I thought that was the case, but it wasn’t. “It looked so lonely that I just wanted to sit next to it.”
Saya said with an expressionless face.
“It’s funny who sympathizes with whom.”
“That’s right. “His Majesty is already sitting next to His Holiness.”
There was silence for a moment. Yuriel pointed to the troops being trained.
“You said earlier why are you working so hard for this?”
Saya had no answer.
Yuriel continued.
“Some people struggle for wealth, others for fame, and some for their beliefs. “The reasons are all different.”
Then he looked at Saya.
“Isn’t it love for you?”
It was accurate. There was no reason for Saya to be with Aiden other than love.
Saya opened her mouth.
“Same goes for you. “I deceive myself by saying it’s faith.”
Yuriel smiled and nodded.
“Maybe so. That’s what faith is all about. Wealth, fame, faith, and even love. It can be tied together in the name of faith. Religion is also the best means of packaging desires.”
Saya rested her chin.
“I don’t think that’s what a saint would say.”
“Yes, of course. And you know what?”
Saya didn’t really react.
“I’m sure His Holiness feels the same way as I do. Even though he is God, he does not consider religion to be anything more than a means.”
Saya, who had been silent, let out a dry voice.
“that’s right. “You and I, they are nothing but tools to Iden.”
Yuriel smiled vaguely.
“The tone is a bit different… but it is not wrong in that it is used for His Holiness’s will.”
“There are no more words than that.”
Yuriel looked at the troops.
“Do they think that too? “It’s a tool.”
“They talk so much about it being the sword and shield of God.”
“There are many sincere people. But there are just as many masks. “Everyone believes in God, but very few people give up their lives for God.”
In the past, as Uriel confirmed through his mind’s eye, people’s driving force was generally desire.
Faith was often just an excuse.
“Your Holiness knows all that. So, rather than forcing faith, it stimulates desire.”
Yuriel took in the sanctuary with both eyes.
“Look here. He gave the sea to mermaids, volcanoes to dwarves, forests to demi-humans and elves, the unknown to dragons, justification to humans, and civilization to giants. You have made each of our wishes come true. He also built it so that only His Holiness could enjoy it.”
This race did not leave the sanctuary. Because there was no other place better than this place. Also, in the center of the empire, there was still racial discrimination.
Only Sanctuary was a free city and a special zone.
Yuriel said.
“He is a very smart person. He didn’t force it, but he placed it in everyone’s subconscious so that it could be taken away. That’s why no one goes against His Holiness.”
She looked at Saya.
“Maybe the sanctuary is just for specimens? All races will live together in that fertile demonic landscape. “His Holiness is showing it as a sanctuary.”
Iden was presenting a justification for participating in the war to other races.
The magic field’s sacred force field disappears. That was weak. Because it was quite a distant future.
Another reason was needed to unite the continent. That was coexistence.
This would be much more efficient than the route of exterminating all races and reclaiming the Demon Realm.
In the original version, it is decided by the user’s choice.
In this episode, Iden chose coexistence.
Saya chuckled.
“Do you understand that it is for the greater good? Sorry, but I’m not interested. I wish tools like yours were just a little more special. That’s it. “Today…”
Saya trailed off and sighed.
“done. “I don’t know why I’m telling you this.”
Yuriel shook his head.
“That’s not what I want to say.”
Her eyes sank seriously.
“You’re always smart, but you’re clumsy only with Saya. “Do you know why?”
“You probably have no experience with women.”
“No, it’s because I’m sincere in my love. “If I viewed my relationship with you only as a means, like other people’s faith, His Holiness would have used that emotion much more cleverly.”
Saya stared at Yuriel in silence. Yuriel continued with a faint smile.
“I don’t really know what happened today, but I’m sure of one thing. “Didn’t His Holiness openly hurt you?”
A nail was driven directly into his chest. The despair of killing Aiden with my own hands. It remained in my heart as an eternal scar. It will never be erased. The person who sowed such frustration was also Aiden. The feeling of betrayal and disappointment was too great to describe.
I cried so much that no more tears came out.
Yuriel looked at Saya’s expression and nodded.
“You probably planned to bear your own mistakes and bear your anger on your own. Even if I remain a sinner. “I believe so.”
Saya, who pondered for a moment, stood up.
“I don’t know. “No matter how I package it, I don’t want to even see your face for the time being.”
Yuriel drew a calm line.
“You have to show me your example.”
Saya looked down at Yuriel.
“What can I say about you…”
Then he shook his head.
“no.”
He turned around and walked away.
“Just remember one thing. Are you saying you don’t want to break it? “If you continue to deny and ignore your feelings, the results will be obvious.”
“Don’t worry about me. “I’ve already reserved a seat.”
Saya paused for a moment.
“okay? “Do your best to the best of your ability.”
“Okay then, please go in carefully.”
Yuriel stayed in that position for a long time.

Iden was sitting on the bed, looking at the silver bottle.
An object that flew from the sky. It was a lunar artifact.
The dragon god Belphegis spoke while trapped in a meditation stone.
“Do you know what this item is used for?”
“Roughly.”
“It’s Geumgyeongnakru (金鏡落淚).”
In a word, it was the tears of the moon. It was an artifact that completely destroyed memories, so it was almost impossible to save.
“Your mother must have manipulated the extinction time.”
This item could erase Saya’s painful memories.
Since the phenomenon of the Ten Tails remains, Geumgyeongnakru would be the best solution to the current situation.
Iden nodded.
“I guess so.”
“What do you do when you know everything? “Hurry and go find the Ten Tails.”
Iden put the silver bottle into his arms.
“Do not use.”
As a dragon god, I couldn’t understand.
“Are you serious?”
“I’m serious.”
“The wounds in the heart are not easily erased. “If it’s Nakru, it can be treated, so what?”
“I just don’t want to write it. “That’s it.”
“The possibility of control is much higher.”
“It’s already been decided.”
“Is there perhaps a better use?”
“You’ll find it if you look for it.”
“under! “Oh my.”
Iden looked out the window.
“I will ask for forgiveness first. Afterwards, it is fed according to Saya’s choice. “Say no more.”
I thought they were pursuing extreme efficiency, but now I see it’s a little different. Yongshin was frustrated, but just kept his mouth shut.
You’ll figure it out.
I just changed the topic.
“Whatever it is, aren’t the preparations almost over? “I also got the Ten Tails.”
“The foundation has been laid. “I plan to advance the expedition by about half a year.”
“I looked at the outline, and it said that the first restoration site was Gyuhwangye. “The super heat world will have an advantage in many ways.”
First of all, the Choyeol Realm was geographically closest to the Sanctuary. If we occupy that place, supply and transportation will be much easier.
However, Iden chose the Gyuhwan system, which requires a little more navigation.
Siron Kadak Murciela. It was because of these three. There were other reasons, but they played the biggest role.
Also, since the sea god had been recruited, there were no major difficulties in sailing. The waterway manipulated by Shaylan will safely tow our warships to the Demonic Land.
In short, I was able to create the best route to my taste.
Aiden roughly explained the situation.
Of course, there was no way the Dragon God of Mangojijwa would not know.
“Nevertheless, it doesn’t change the fact that the ultra-hot type is better. “If I had chosen the Gyu-hwan world, the advance guard I just mentioned would have played a pretty important role.”
“That’s it.”
The dragon god let out a hum.
“The rest was reasonable. They’ve already organized an air attack unit into the Dragoon Corps. How long has it been since the dragons arrived? “Anyway, human beings are quick to act.”
It was true. The number of knights who succeeded in communicating with dragons continued to increase.
Iden’s unexpected surprise. I was very happy to be able to operate an air assault unit during the first landing operation.
The leader of the dragoons is Bentham, so there will be no mistakes.
Iden opened his mouth.
“All the initiative lies with us. “The landing operation is guaranteed to succeed.”
Demons cannot come over to the continent and cannot receive any information.
This was because the Demon God Religion was eradicated.
“The problem is…”
The moment the Dragon God was about to say something, a black figure flew out of nowhere and sat on the window sill.
“Please forgive my rudeness, Your Holiness.”
He was a high-ranking intelligence officer.
Iden looked at the shadow.
“What’s going on?”
It was rare for the Holy Intelligence Corps to report directly to Aiden.
Inyoung said while feeling anxious for no reason.
“Nine heads washed up in a box. After investigating their identities, they turned out to be members of the Holy Wisdom Extermination Team. “It seems like it was sent from the Demon Lord.”
Three years ago, the apostles, including Siron, headed to the demonic realm first. They must have been them.
Aiden hurriedly raised his upper body.
“Where are you?”
“Survey Corps barracks…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Aiden’s new brother disappeared.
