Dark Fantasy Paladin Chapter 58

Episode 58

Aiden’s gaze, which had been fixed on Saya, moved towards the demons again.

There were still plenty of hideous hybrids. Finishing the cleaning was a priority.

Aiden shook off his complicated thoughts and ran out again.

He cut down the fleeing tribes again and again. They slaughtered them all with the intention of not leaving a single one alive.

Even as dawn began to light up the eastern part of the country, Iden was still moving.

It’s a bloody test. Mounds of large and small corpses rose all over the territory, and black blood flowed between the mounds like a river.

Iden stomped on the head of the last remaining one and exploded it.

I looked around with an excited expression. All the evil spirits turned into flesh and rolled around.

There were no demons or apostates in sight.

They must have all died at the hands of Siron or were captured by the executioners while escaping.

The death penalty was not the only misfortune awaiting them. The guilt-by-association system was also applied, so there was a high probability that even distant relatives would be exterminated.

This was because the Varanches Church did not show mercy to humans related to the Demon Church for any reason.

Even Iden couldn’t stop it.

Because that method of punishment was Bacheksar’s will. No matter how many heroes the Bible records, they are not above the head of God.

Aiden sheathed the holy sword and approached Saya.

She jumped down from the top of the scarecrow and landed on the ground.

Seogwang colored the nine-tailed fox’s silver hair even brighter.

Saya smiled and pointed at the baby.

“You didn’t cry? “I think he’s going to be big.”

Siron, who was looking at that scene, pulled out his halberd. Then he walked towards the child.

Iden stopped her.

“I will save you.”

Siron gave a somewhat puzzled look.

The baby in front of me was fundamentally different from the mother and son of the principality that Iden had saved.

Although they were forcibly oppressed, this child’s parents were human beings who were corrupted by their own will.

I could understand the theory back then, but not as much as this time.

What Iden was doing now was blasphemous and completely against the doctrine.

Siron opened his mouth.

“······Lord Iden is the child of a heretic.”

“Know. “I will save one.”

Even if the cult leader had continued his threats a moment ago, Iden would not have fallen for it.

Because I couldn’t let go of the leader to save a child. It was obvious that if they were released, greater damage would occur.

However, thanks to Saya’s intervention, the situation has already been resolved.

There is no reason to give up the baby. In short, it’s a matter of priorities. Although I could make sacrifices for deployment, I had no intention of being bound by doctrine or laws.

Aiden also knew full well that all of this was nothing more than hypocrisy for self-justification.

Still, I decided to save it.

Siron chewed his lips. The messenger of God went against Bacheksar’s teachings. It was difficult for her to accept.

“······Are you serious?”

“I’m serious.”

I grabbed the halberd tightly. My hands were shaking.

I wanted to deny one thing. She could not believe that the hero she had admired had defected.

Siron looked at Aiden with earnest eyes.

“This reason. Lord, there must be a reason for even this. Yes?”

Iden stared into her eyes.

It was a look I occasionally saw from Euron. A confused mixture of respect and distrust.

However, Euron was now at the point where he believed Aiden’s words that the devil gave birth to God.

Blind faith. It was one of the values that Iden demanded from his colleagues. Because I couldn’t explain every single thing I did.

Aiden had an iron plate placed on his face.

“God wants it. Just as he pardoned you, he will probably plan to do the same to this child.”

Shiron made a perplexed expression and Saya burst out laughing. Aiden did not react but turned his eyes to the baby.

He imbued his index finger with divine power and made the sign of the cross.

“Grow up straight. Always do good and help the weak. Your atonement will reach heaven. God will watch your reflection.”

The divinity was placed on the baby’s forehead. The guy laughed and cooed.

Aiden took over the baby. Then he placed it in Siron’s arms.

Her pupils fluttered.

“Leave it to a nearby monastery.”

“But…”

Aiden said calmly.

“Can I trust you?”

She swore to assist Iden until the end of her life.

Disobedience was impossible. However, the tenets of the church could not be violated either.

The hill she leaned on was only Aiden’s words that there was a revelation from God.

Numerous emotions flashed through Siron’s eyes. In the end, he lowered his head and gave a small nod.

Iden asked again. The mind’s eye worked.

“Can I trust you?”

“······yes.”

“Leave right away. “See you at the church.”

Shiron glanced at Saya. He turned his gaze towards Aiden again and let out a small sigh as if he had given up.

“I’ll see you later. Please take care of yourself.”

As Aiden nodded, Shiron took a step forward.

The morning sun was already coming up. The sun rising from the east stretched Saya and Aiden’s shadows and overlapped them.

Iden opened his mouth to the nine-tailed fox who was smiling brightly.

“How long do you plan on following me around?”

Saya shrugged and brought the white tail in front of Aiden.

“See? It’s one. “Where in the world is a nine-tailed fox like that, even though it’s been two years since it was born?”

The fox who said that smiled and took a step closer to Aiden.

“Oh, but it’s right in front of you? congratulations. Every man in this world will envy you. Just put a spoon on it. Then I won’t show up for a while. how is it?”

Before I knew it, Saya was so close that my breath could touch her.

He made a captivating line and cast bewitching eyes. The pure white skin turned red.

The unique scent was a temptation that any normal man could never resist, but Iden did not respond.

The expression on his face was also calm at first glance.

Aiden pressed a finger to her forehead.

“I can’t stand the smell of an animal.”

Although he said so, in reality, the reason he couldn’t hug Saya wasn’t just a matter of emotions.

The first child of a goddess is born with divine status. reply. He was a necessary child for Iden’s plan.

But that wasn’t the case now. Even though it was his own blood, the demigod was an arrogant and unusual being, and Iden could never control it.

Contraception was also impossible. This is because the nine-tailed fox’s wish was not simply to mix bodies, but to have energy.

Having sex doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll have a child, but you couldn’t gamble with your future as collateral.

A gloomy air flowed over Saya’s face.

“Why are you talking so meanly? That’s not the reason. “I’m hurt too.”

Saya also knew the situation roughly. Even when they were together in the past, Iden rejected the relationship and he indirectly told her why.

Because it was prohibited, I couldn’t explain it in detail.

Iden opened his mouth.

“I’m glad you know. So it’s impossible.”

“I can bear it. “You can just stop along the way.”

Aiden laughed. For the first time, the nine-tailed fox could not control his desires. It was fortunate if I didn’t kill the opponent with a double injury.

Aiden said, shaking his head.

“Saya you told me. Don’t fool yourself. This applies to you too. “How can a beast that is more self-centered than anyone else tolerate its instincts?”

Saya frowned.

“Don’t talk like you know everything.”

Iden nodded.

“i get it. I’ll apologize, so go now. “You have nothing to gain by following me around.”

Iden turned his back. Saya gently grabbed Aiden’s little finger and held it.

“In the end, you need me too.”

Saya’s use was not limited to children. The existence of the nine-tailed fox itself was also necessary.

Besides her, there were one or two other goddesses who could give birth to children.

Since I always had to have the next best solution, I already had a strategy in place.

A moist voice continued.

“Just let me stay by your side. I’ll wait as long as you want. really.”

Although she appears innocent at first glance, her true self was never like this.

Aiden knew better than anyone else what Saya’s nature was up to. An uncontrollable monster. I couldn’t have Saya by my side until Iden became stronger.

This is because I did not know that a problem that could be solved with a few drops of blood might have to be resolved in a sea of blood.

That shouldn’t happen anymore.

Iden ripped off the small hand holding her little finger.

Saya’s blue pupils were moist. She said in a slightly trembling voice.

“You are not what you used to be. I know it when I see it. “You can understand me now, right?”

“It’s not a matter of understanding or not.”

Aiden paused for a moment. Then he spoke in a low voice.

“To be honest, even this moment talking to you is difficult. Do you remember Regul, who taught me how to use a knife? It will already be gone from your mind. What about Anna, who always baked bread? Even his son, who swore to take responsibility for Benjamin who died fighting alongside him. “I still hear their screams.”

No matter how much mental strength I exerted, the festering feelings did not go away. It just made me look away and move.

However, sometimes such memories came without warning and tormented Iden.

He chewed his lips.

“Saya I begged you to stop. Should I do that again?”

Aiden’s voice was calm, but his eyes trembled slightly.

It was a feeling that was not often expressed.

Saya, facing him, became scared.

Suddenly it occurred to me that I might not be able to really melt away his feelings.

My hair turned white little by little. My eyes became red.

“Ah, Aiden… I am.”

Aiden shook his head.

“Don’t tell me I did something wrong. I am no different from you. Saya, from the beginning, you acted according to your values. Same goes for me. “We don’t need to ask each other for forgiveness.”

Even though he hurled abusive language at Saya to push her away, he also treated her harshly.

But it didn’t work for her. So I was speaking with sincerity.

“If you just let go of those feelings, we might be able to get along.”

interests. If they weren’t lovers, they could have been together for the sake of the future.

Whatever it was, Iden needed her.

Saya looked at Aiden with an earnest expression. Words that were much more painful than swearing were cutting into her heart.

“So, Saya, live freely now. Follow your instincts, extend your tail, and wander the world like a nine-tailed fox. “By then, I will have become a person who can be of help to you.”

Even if it was a conflict of interest, there was nothing that Saya could gain from Aiden now.

In order to completely resolve the love and hate relationship with her, Iden also had to become someone who could give her something tangible.

I didn’t know that if I held my emotions hostage and used them, they might come back as a bigger repulsive force.

Iden had essentially given up on the half-god child she was about to give birth to. I guess I’ll have to find another goddess.

Saya realized that Aiden had completely drawn the line. I was so scared.

She froze and tears finally fell from her eyes. I cried right away. He squatted down like a child, covered his face, and began to sob.

She didn’t know what to say. Please forgive me for being wrong. Those words just lingered in my mouth and then dissipated.

Aiden looked down at Saya.

The drooping ears and tail were pitiful. Deep in her heart, Iden was already wiping away her tears.

It was truly heartbreaking. If Iden had not invested his mental strength, Iden might not have hugged her.

Aiden took a difficult step.
