Dark Fantasy Paladin Chapter 84

Episode 84

The ground I was standing on was hollowed out.

With the feeling of emptiness sinking beneath their feet, the three of them were enveloped by gravity pressing down on their entire bodies.

The princess didn’t even have time to acknowledge the situation.

The moment I was about to reprimand Iden’s yanking hand for being rude, I was already falling.

A black cliff. A gut-wrenching discomfort came over the princess. A sharp wind blew from below and swept across my entire body.

At the moment when my teeth were shaking with goosebumps, the only thing that calmed my mind was my huge forearms.

It was Iden’s arm around my waist. The princess frowned and tightened her grip on her seat belt.

I promised myself that I would definitely investigate this matter.

On the other hand, Yuriel felt extremely stable. With Aiden, this was now all too common and safety was mostly guaranteed.

In fact, I felt comfortable because it was legal skinship. Without paying attention to anyone else, I hugged Aiden tightly. As if in response, his forearm tightened around her. It might be Yuriel’s illusion.

The three fell straight down.

*

Just before reaching the shimmering surface of the water, Uriel surrounded the group with a sacred barrier. Even if it falls into the water, if it falls from this height, the impact will be enough to explode the internal organs of an ordinary person.

Immediately afterwards they hit the surface. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! I left the rising water column behind and went straight to the depths of the water.

Dark water where you can’t even see an inch ahead. When Iden immediately lit up his halo, the three were able to see each other.

Lapelia was a half-human, half-killer whale,

Iden

was a saltwater crocodile, and Uriel was a golden mermaid.

Without a moment to catch their breath, the torrent began to engulf them and tow them somewhere.

The ever-increasing acceleration eventually took away the minds of Uriel and the princess.

It was an extremely fast pace, but it was no problem for Iden. Rather, it was so peaceful that it was an opportunity to realize my own growth once again.

His body vision even captured the number of passing air bubbles in an instant, and his cognitive ability took into account all variables and future plans even in urgent situations.

It was already far beyond the scope of humans.

The ability points gained along with the status were equivalent to a year’s worth of training in the East.

It was natural growth and the reason I was able to choose this route.

The underground waterway connecting the imperial capital and the royal capital allows you to cover a distance that would take more than a week on horseback in just three hours.

No human could withstand that speed. It’s the same no matter how much you turn it into a fisherman. However, Aiden’s existence made it possible.

If you hold the group in your arms and absorb the shock with your back like you did now, you could have sufficiently prevented damage to the body.

Of course, the speed will decrease accordingly. Still, it was much faster than the land route.

Aiden spent a whole day in the canal like that.

*

A space buried in pitch darkness.

An untimely ray of light began to rise in the void where one could not see even an inch ahead.

The source was a cloudy puddle of water.

It was faint, but it was getting brighter and brighter. Eventually, the moment it reached the surface, light soared into the air.

Then it flew all the way to the ceiling, staining my son-in-law pure white.

The huge pupil, which had been immersed in darkness, revealed its true appearance.

The jagged stalactites on the high ceiling spat out cloudy lime water onto the floor.

Below, the demonic energy that had accumulated over two hundred years settled like fog, giving off a terrible odor.

The paladin, convulsed by the smell, jumped out of the puddle.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! The water flowed like a fountain. Iden flew high and landed softly.

He gently placed the princess and saintess, who were on either side, on the floor.

Yuriel was completely unconscious, but Lapelia was able to keep his mind at least halfway.

The princess fell to the floor and cleared her throat. I spat out the thick water and looked up at Aiden.

“······Couldn’t you have at least said something?”

“I couldn’t go into detail. sorry.”

This waterway was a route that could only be found by completing a separate episode. However, Iden used an expedient method. Therefore, speaking was prohibited.

The princess frowned slightly.

“Is it always like this?”

“It happens sometimes.”

“Your colleagues must be very dissatisfied.”

Everyone did that. Euron Daryl Uriel Xerath Jonah Saya…etc. At first, everyone asked for an explanation, but eventually they complied without saying a word.

Iden nodded.

“I sometimes hear complaints.”

The princess was dumbfounded by the calm tone of voice and stood up.

Then he spoke in a calm voice.

“It certainly wouldn’t have been possible to bring the SS along with them.”

“It would have been difficult for me to take care of them along the waterway.”

“So where are we in the end?”

“The royal road connected to the labyrinth is an underground cavity.”

That meant that all the troublesome routes were omitted.

After crossing the border, infiltrating the royal capital, hiding in the palace, and going underground without being noticed by anyone.

One-third of the princess’s plan involved that process, but Iden eliminated it.

In the end, Lapelia had no choice but to be willing.

If you are a retainer who always achieves that level of performance, I will keep you by my side even if he behaves a little unruly.

Of course, Iden was not her subordinate. It was a bit ambiguous to praise.

While the princess was internally satisfied, Yuriel groaned and opened her eyes halfway.

Iden immediately went over and picked her up.

“Are you out of your mind?”

The princess burst into laughter at that sight.

“The temperature is quite different.”

According to the law, the safety of the royal family was paramount. It would be right for such treatment to be directed to the princess first.

However, I didn’t mind it at all. Because I hated the feeling of being pampered.

It would have been a much more satisfying life if I had been born a man.

Iden was actually able to make it happen. That was in the future.

Yuriel slowly opened her eyes and looked at Aiden. A cough came out. It was because of the layers of magic energy.

Iden opened his mouth.

“You can purify it.”

From the moment I entered the labyrinth, I had to control my divine power as much as possible, but it didn’t matter now.

Yuriel said, blushing slightly.

“Please put it down first.”

She felt the princess’s gaze and felt a little embarrassed.

Iden put her down. The princess approached and spoke with an interested expression.

“Wouldn’t you be disgusted if it were a man?”

Yuriel smiled awkwardly.

“How could I hate my god? “I’m just sorry.”

In a way, Yuriel was the one who created the religious strife. Because she played a decisive role in Aiden’s acquisition of status.

Even if I heard that the princess was a traitor, I had nothing to say.

Lapelia shook her head.

“This is what Bacheksar wanted. Those who deny it will have to beg for their lives at my feet. “Don’t worry about it.”

Yuriel knew well that the princess’s words were sincere. The only person whose outside and inside matched. Even though I lost my eyesight now, there was no need to check even if I had it.

Yuriel slightly lowered his head.

“I am always grateful to you.”

The princess said with a faint smile.

“It’s okay, please purify it quickly. “I can’t breathe.”

Yuriel immediately launched a sacred sphere into the air. The natural light source began to swallow up all the purple smoke. Even the demon energy that had been corrupted for two hundred years was mere dust in front of the distant divinity.

My son-in-law was very kind.

Aiden said, looking at the two.

“Let’s move right away.”

The princess and the saint began to walk side by side, following Aiden. The damp cave floor gave off a bitter chill, but the princess’s heavenly intelligence gently embraced the group and protected them from body temperature.

The energy of the sun that only the royal family can handle. Aiden didn’t need that warmth.

“You two can use it.”

With that said, he continued moving forward. As I walked, my wide pupils began to narrow little by little.

The princess looked at Yuriel and said.

“Do you know the destination?”

Yuriel shook his head slightly.

“I don’t know the details, but I heard that it is the path that will lead to the sun.”

The princess looked at Aiden’s back with strange eyes. Then he spoke to Yuriel.

“Is that all?”

“Yes, that’s all I heard.”

“You did a good job following that explanation.”

“Isn’t there something similar to you? “ You, too,

have been ruthless since long ago.”

“Rather than that, he had a way of making us believe and follow him.”

He could have been seen as a king. The princess laughed.

“It would have been even more so if I had that mound.”

Yuriel smiled slightly.

“You have enough.”

“There is no such word as enough. “Well, that’s it.”

The princess continued immediately, brightening the mood.

“You should know now. “I’m heading to the devil’s eye.”

Yuriel looked at her with somewhat puzzled eyes.

The princess spoke calmly.

“You probably know about Atraksha.”

Yuriel nodded.

“······He is the moon god and the ancestor of the lower world.”

The blood of the sun and the moon flowed in the veins of the royal family. Of course, it has faded now. This is because they have repeatedly intermarried with humans for generations.

The princess slowly opened her mouth.

“His incarnate body is sleeping in the demonic sutra. “He has been suffering as a plaything of the devil for as long as two hundred years.”

That was a curse. The incarnation of the moon that the devil plays with. Only by freeing her could the chain of corruption be broken.

No more legitimate children will be born.

Yuriel did not know the secret story behind the royal family, so he could not understand it well. The princess calmly explained.

When the period finally came to an end, Yuriel’s expression was filled with astonishment.

The princess smiled bitterly and said.

“I killed my brother with my own hands.”

“My dear.”

It was difficult for Yuriel to say anything.

The princess was back.

“Anyway, the labyrinth we are heading to is the palace where the sun and moon lived while they were in this world.”

380 years ago, this was the place where Bacheksar and Atraksha lived together in the demonic realm.

In a word, I was in the devil’s eye.

And the basement of the Trapelgar royal capital was a passage connecting the continent and the labyrinth.

A deity arranged by Bacheksar. Originally, it was impossible to step on the demonic realm in this way, so it was okay to think of it as a deus ex machina created by God.

The sun needed a hero to clean up its incompetence. I hoped to rescue my lover, who I had no choice but to leave behind in the devil’s land.

This was Iden’s role.

Yuriel made the sign of the cross without saying a word.

The princess opened her mouth.

“But your god said that only three people are enough to visit such a dangerous place.”

The princess suddenly stopped walking. The wide pupils had narrowed to the point where he had to bend down, and the huge Aiden was almost crawling on the floor.

Iden began to read the stone tablet blocking the passage.

The princess spoke to Iden.

“So what do you think? He said he would be able to judge for sure once he arrived. “If you feel even the slightest bit uneasy, it’s okay to go back and come with the SS.”

It was the entrance to the Demonic Land. If I took one more step, there was no turning back.

Aiden answered in a calm voice.

“It just creates unnecessary sacrifices.”

Then he pointed to the phrase engraved on the stone tablet.

“Let the blood flow.”

The princess narrowed her eyebrows slightly.

“Are you sure?”

“Do not doubt.”

The calm tone did not contain any trace of anxiety or hesitation.

Iden spoke again.

“You will sit on the throne.”

“You will ascend to the throne.”

The princess cut her hand with a dagger. Iden also exploded with divinity.

The divine status fell from heaven. The three disappeared.
