Dark Fantasy Paladin - Chapter 57
Dark Fantasy Paladin Chapter 57
Episode 57
The divinity that burst forth from Gargantua burned throughout the chapel with the power to burn even the corpse of a demon.
The remnants of divinity illuminated the interior.
Aiden walked towards the front door. There were many restrictions when fighting internally.
Every time Iden walked, the floor, which had turned into a sea of blood, made a slapping sound.
Siron immediately followed suit and passed the chapel gate.
I entered a corridor full of hideous demons.
They glared at Iden from the outdoor garden on the left and right sides of the hallway.
However, it was not easy to approach. This was because I saw Aiden’s power in organizing the interior in an instant.
This time, Iden moved first.
He exploded the halo, melting the hybrids’ eyeballs, and swung his sword like crazy.
Under the night sky, only the horrifying sounds of cutting and the screams of demons continued endlessly.
Black blood drenched the blonde. Dirty flesh stuck to the holy armor and holy sword.
The more I did this, the faster Iden became and the stronger he became. He grabbed hold of his reason, which was fading with excitement, and grabbed the demon beast’s throat.
A dog with three heads was folded in half and its spine broken. A bull with sprouted wings was cut into pieces. A huge poisonous toad was crushed and exploded.
He snatched the bat that was trying to escape into the sky and tore it to pieces.
Like that, Iden moved his body until the demon disappeared from before his eyes.
Siron was unfamiliar with Aiden’s appearance like that.
It was like a murder weapon driven with the sole intention of killing the devil.
Shiron suddenly felt relieved that he was not a devil.
Before we knew it, the corridor was covered in black blood. The green color that filled the outdoor garden was nowhere to be seen.
The sky was pitch black and the ground was dull.
Only the moon and halo were shining.
Iden kicked the church door down and went outside.
Bugs were infesting everything as far as the eye could see. I had no idea where on earth these numerous demons were hiding.
Whatever it was, Iden was satisfied. It was worth taking the time to come to the southeast.
Just as Iden was about to move, a strong presence pushed through the crowd of demons and came out in front.
It was a demonic rider riding a blue ghost horse.
Dullahan. At first glance, it looked like a human, but a blue flame took the place of the head.
His dot-like black eyes rolled around and he laughed bitterly, tearing open his mouth.
Blue flames could be seen sporadically even in the seams of the black armor.
He cried lowly and sorrowfully. It was a voice urging people to die.
Some of the demonic believers seen in the background sat down. It was because I was paralyzed with fear. He must be new.
Aiden also did not relax. Because it wasn’t an opponent I could confidently win against.
Nevertheless, Iden was satisfied.
A demon ministered by the leader of the Benzegma cult. It was more efficient to kill one bastard than to kill hundreds of them.
Iden spoke to Siron with his eyes fixed on Dullahan.
“I’ll take care of him. Deal with the rest.”
She held the halberd tightly.
“Don’t worry. I will definitely take care of the rest.”
It was quite reliable. Even Iden recognized Siron’s fighting ability.
As I grow older, I will be able to attain the highest rank.
Aiden nodded and added divine power to the holy sword.
The sword body burned so brightly that it was blinding.
The Dullahan pulled a long stance from his back. The sword was so red because it sucked human blood.
The rider of the ghost horse fixed his black eyes on Iden.
Instead of life, the empty eyes were filled with distorted desire. It was an instinct to plunder the life of breathing things.
The moment Iden grasped the holy sword with both hands, the ghost horse leapt forward.
There was no sound of hooves, no sound of wind, not even a sign.
The ghost horse came right in front of Iden as if it were galloping across water.
He toured and raised his front paw. Cool breath escaped. Then he took it down.
Paaaaaa! A metallic sound erupted as the holy sword and hoof met. Aiden raised the holy sword horizontally and pushed back.
Aiden’s strength was superior.
The ghost horse couldn’t resist the recoil and took a few steps back.
Aiden did not miss that moment.
I twisted my waist the way it was supposed to. He kicked the ghost horse’s legs, which were on the ground with his shins, with all his might.
Wow! With a dull sound, the horse’s body tilted to the right.
The Dullahan smiled darkly. He stepped on the saddle, jumped up, and raised his attitude.
A red sword flashed in the air. It fell towards Aiden and hit him vertically.
Aiden dodged by rolling to the left. Kwaaaaang! The attitude crushed the ground. Mud and stone debris flew up.
Dullahan immediately turned his head. A holy sword approaches like a darting sight. He was aiming for the blue flame above the devil’s neck.
The devil plucked the attitude from the ground. Then, after throwing away the holy sword, he immediately widened the distance.
If the opponent was an ordinary paladin, it was okay to allow the attack.
Because ordinary blades and crude divine power could not harm Dullahan.
However, Aiden’s divinity was of too high a purity.
That light could easily cut down the blue flame.
Dullahan rolled his black eyes. Gradually, I began to feel a sense of victory.
The capabilities and level of the Paladin were identified. He was not an opponent worth hiding and fighting against.
Dullahan threw his attitude on the floor. Then, when he whistled, the ghost horse that had fallen down and was sneezing got up and ran towards him.
The Dullahan grinned and grabbed the horse’s neck.
Iden drew Gargantua and imbued it with divine power.
The moment the holy spear shot the body, the ghost horse changed into the form of a huge scythe.
Death Scythe, made of light blue flames, was a weapon forged with human souls.
Gargantua collided with the surface of the scythe.
There was no sound and the sensation of touch was strange. It felt like it was piercing the air, but I felt a slight friction force.
It felt like I was being pricked by something slightly denser than water.
Dullahan threw away his holy spear and swung his scythe. The horizontal trajectory was aimed at Iden’s neck.
Even a mere swipe was a fatal wound. Because it was a weapon that ripped out the soul.
I crouched down to avoid it. A few strands of hair were broken.
At the same time, I straightened my knees. I used my momentum to jump into the guy.
Aiden’s new form penetrated into the devil’s arms like a flash.
When dealing with a long weapon, the closer the distance was, the more advantageous it was.
The moment he was about to insert the holy sword, the devil lifted his leg and kicked Aiden in the front.
The Paladin endured. The impact became wind pressure and spread in all directions. The ground I was stepping on cracked.
Dullahan’s eyes wavered slightly. It was a children’s song. Because it was a dangerous situation for him.
Aiden stabbed the holy sword right in. It easily tore through the black armor and pierced the blue flames.
The Dullahan let out a cold scream. Aiden’s divinity was so fatal.
It didn’t stop. With the sword inserted, divine power exploded.
Kwaaaaaaaa! A pure white flower soared into the air, engulfing the blue flames.
Pure white brilliance dividing the night sky. The little devils stood frozen and the demonists and apostates trembled in fear.
Siron did not miss that moment. As he frantically swung his halberd, black blood and flesh flew around like snowflakes.
Iden roared like a wild beast. He raised the pierced holy sword with all his might and slashed.
I was planning to cut it in half from the abdomen to the head, but Dullahan was no easy opponent either.
The devil turned the weak ember left on his neck to the left.
I narrowly avoided the sword that cut through my stomach.
As long as the blue flame remains alive, the Dullahan will not die.
It completely melted its armor and inflicted fatal damage inside, but it could not completely extinguish its flames.
The core of the armor-less Dullahan was a shriveled blue flame.
It probably wasn’t like that from the beginning. It was a reaction that Iden burned alone.
The devil instantly jumped into the air, holding the scythe.
It looks like they are trying to supply souls. Small eyes quickly scanned the ground.
The moment Iden hit the ground, a blue scythe swept away the cultists and apostates.
Perhaps because the religious leader gave permission, the devil did not discriminate between his enemies and his enemies.
The souls ripped out by the scythe flew into Dullahan and permeated him.
The blue flame engulfed the firewood and burned again. Iden grabbed the guy’s ankle.
I threw it to the floor with all my might.
As it collided with the seething crowd of demons, all kinds of dirty things flew out.
Aiden placed the holy sword vertically and fell with a halo exploding.
Squirt! A flash of fire approaches, tearing through the darkness. The demons went wild and Siron quickly widened the distance.
Because I didn’t know if I got caught up, I might die.
Immediately afterwards, a flash of light pierced the Dullahan. Wow! The sacred fire engulfed the radius. It burned the darkness and melted the demons.
Dullahan also found it difficult to endure. White flames covered the blue flames.
The devil waved his arms desperately. I tried to collect the souls of the cultists with a sickle, but the regenerative power could not keep up.
Iden fertilized the guy’s entire body. He slashed, slashed, and swung his sword in a trance. Then I saw the direction its scythe was heading.
The apostate was frozen solid, holding the baby in his arms.
I chewed my lips and grabbed the blue handle of the sickle. Iden’s soul screamed. I felt like my whole heart was being ripped out.
I persevered and changed the scythe’s trajectory. Then, he squeezed out all the remaining divine power and burned the Dullahan to a pure white color.
There was no blue flame anywhere.
Everyone who saw it was taken aback and locked in place. The Paladin’s power against the devil was already beyond that of a human.
The hybrids began to retreat from Iden. The believers and apostates trembled with fear.
It was because they sensed their future.
Iden approached with his sword hanging down.
At that moment, someone jumped out from the group and grabbed the apostate who was holding the baby by the hair.
He was a Demon God and had dozens of red lines drawn on the sleeves of his priest’s uniform.
It was their way of indicating rank.
Therefore, there was a high probability that he was the leader of the Benzema cult. Of course, there was a possibility that it was disguise.
A hooded man snatched the child from the apostate.
Then he thrust the dagger and shouted.
“Don’t come! You bastard of the cult!”
He must have seen Iden grabbing Dullahan’s scythe. He had a good sense of vision.
In short, he was threatening Iden with the life of a newborn.
“I’ll give you ten seconds! Get out!”
Aiden’s expression distorted.
Whether the apostate participated in evil or whatever, the baby was innocent.
Parents may have used children when kidnapping travelers, but even that was only used as a means.
However, I couldn’t back down like this to save the life of an innocent child.
This is because it was not a path that modern people could walk while preserving all the values called humanity.
This world was not that beautiful.
Morality was the preserve of the peaceful, and most of those who achieved peace were not moral.
Because they were murderers, tyrants, and homicidal maniacs. History only praised him as a hero.
It was the same in Iden’s hometown.
Iden opened the status window. I planned to use this opportunity to completely kill my weakness.
There was no need for emotions on the thorny path.
“There’s only one second left, you bastard!”
At that moment, a blue afterimage landed in an instant, coloring the night sky bright blue.
It was Saya. She sat on the scarecrow and looked at Iden.
She was roughly holding the baby with one hand.
The leader, who didn’t even realize it, looked alternately at his own hands and at the child Saya was holding.
The nine-tailed fox opened its mouth.
“Aiden, I did things like this for you back in the old days. So I’m not interfering, you know?”
Iden looked at her.
The essence of self-loathing was there. It occurred to me that she was becoming more and more like that woman. That’s why it was so hard for Iden to look at Saya.
