Chapter 13

Dark Fantasy Paladin Chapter 13Episode 13.

Euron smiled awkwardly, scratching the back of his head as if embarrassed.

“Haha, that’s right. Not everyone can be a hero. “I don’t know if it’s Lord Iden.”

Euron can’t be a hero. Sein, who denied it very firmly, waved his hand as if he felt a little sorry.

“no. If you work hard, you too will be able to leave your name in the Bible. It’s just that Elohimderk is an artifact that reacts to divine power… Maybe my brother can’t handle divine power… I’m sorry. “You felt bad, right?”

“Hey, I’m not that petty, am I? They say it responds more to divine power than that. “The answer has been found.”

Euron turned his head. Sein followed him and looked around, but couldn’t find any sign of him.

The necklace that was simply brightening the outdoor garden gradually lost its luster.

*

Elohimderk.

It was an artifact classified as an ancient relic meaning a passage connected to God.

Elohimderk guides the user to the ruins where God’s Noble Phantasm rests.

In the game, you had to pass ten trials given by the Pope to obtain it, and that was right in front of you a little while ago.

Iden was planning on getting the item. I also made a plan.

The Pope’s Trial is famous for its extremely difficult level, but it was an artifact worth the effort.

After much time had passed and I had become a little stronger, I tried to challenge myself, but I thought that it might not be necessary.

Iden seemed to have a general idea of what was going on.

In the original work, it seems like the cult abandoned the siblings and absorbed that artifact as well. It must have ended up in the Pope’s hands.

Aiden was caught in a very strange feeling. The thing that brought good luck was not a swallow.

An extremely disgusting half-demon. My feelings for them were instinctive that could not be explained by reason or common sense.

Iden hates demons just as humans hate pests.

Aiden sat down on the bed and sighed deeply.

Would you rather steal Sein’s necklace? no. Then Elohimderk might not react. If the condition in the game is to pass the ordeal given by the Pope, then in real life you will need another qualification.

Basically, approval from the owner was required. Sein and Iden…

Those thoughts were suddenly cut off by a knock on the door.

“This is Holy Knight Sein. “Can I come in for a moment?”

Aiden took a deep breath. My lungs were fully inflated. I could probably last about an hour.

“Come in.”

The door opened and Sein hesitated and opened his mouth.

“I’m sorry for being late. But I really have something to tell you…”

“I understand, so come in and talk.”

As Sein took a step closer, the room became brighter little by little.

The glow emanating from her chest really puzzled Iden.

If someone else had stood there instead of Sein, he might have smiled and welcomed me happily.

On the other hand, Sein’s expression was changing to confidence.

She put both hands behind her neck and unhooked her necklace.

“I want to give this to the Holy Knight. “I hope you accept it.”

Aiden was momentarily taken aback. So easy? The moments I worried about made me feel like a fool.

I looked at the blue radiance emitted by the crystal jade for a moment.

Sein smiled brightly and held out the necklace.

“Master said so. When the great hero who will rewrite the Bible appears next to me, the jewel will respond. I guess I didn’t notice because it was bright during the day. Although it shines so brightly now. Please accept it. I will lead the paladin to the ruins where the relic rests.

Iden had never seen unintentional favor. Especially in this world.

“You’re just giving this to me?”

Sein hesitated slightly before opening his mouth.

“······In fact, Master said that a great hero appeared and freed my brother and me from our unfortunate fate. But my brother says there is no such thing. They say the freedom gained through begging is just an illusion. “My brother is a fool and most of what Master said was right, but I think he was right this time.”

Kadak seems to have taught Sein how to use heroes. That was probably the task for Sein, the owner of Elohimderk.

Liberated from the shackles of a religious denomination. However, Sein and Daryl kicked that opportunity away.

If liberation had been made a condition, Iden might have agreed.

Would Sein have said something like that even if he had known that he was mixed race? Iden suddenly had this question.

“Do you know why the church shackled your siblings?”

Sein nodded his head slowly.

“They said my parents had committed great disrespect against God and had to atone for it. “The priest told us that one day God would forgive us.”

I felt miserable. God and the church will never forgive them.

“You cannot be saved that way.”

“yes? But…”

Aiden looked at the Elohimderk that had been handed to him.

“I owe you a debt, so I will pay it back. “Go out.”

*

As dawn dawned, the special team left the inn and headed toward the northern gate of the city.

The North Gate was the entrance closest to the unexplored area, so most of the people who entered and exited this place were adventurers.

Luckily the line wasn’t long. However, the expressions on the faces of those in front were distorted.

A few people who failed to pass passed by Aiden, spitting on the ground.

“What the hell are you fucking bastards controlling? Could that desert be the territory of Serengal? Shit.”

“What is monster hunting? You’re shaking like crazy. “I wish I could rummage through it.”

“Please lower your voice. Do you want your tongue cut out? Ugh.”

Daryl glanced at Aiden’s gaze and opened his mouth. He was wearing a mask even though it was hot.

“You guys over there! Why does everyone have horns like this? It looks like the soldiers chose it. that’s right?”

A man in the group approached and shook his head as if he was shaking.

“Don’t even talk. The lord has sealed off the entire area above to catch one death worm. “The contract expiration date is approaching, but I can’t come out.”

It seemed that the lord of this place had developed a taste for monster hunting. They must be leading all their troops and cornering them.

“Unless there is a gold rank or higher adventurer on your team, it would be better to go back without wasting time.”

He left those words alone and grunted as he returned to his colleagues.

Iden felt very uncomfortable and bothered by these little things he had to face every time he couldn’t reveal his identity.

While I was looking for something to say, my turn had already arrived. It seemed like all those ahead had failed to make it.

“next.”

One of the soldiers looked at the group with a very businesslike expression.

“Any business?”

As Daryl approached and pulled down the mask, the soldier’s stiff face softened slightly.

“Who is this Daryl?”

The two talked for a while and finally the soldier sighed.

A moment later, the gate creaked and went up.

“Be careful. If the lord finds out, you could be treated badly. “You and me.”

“Don’t worry. “Who am I?”

“So, you, who are so intimidating even to the devil, why should you be afraid of people?”

“Haha… There are some scary people.”

Daryl glanced at Iden, then quickly looked away.

The special team boarded the camels and immediately passed through the castle gate.

The desert in the early morning was rather chilly. It was much better than the heat, so the expressions on the group’s faces were much more comfortable.

We checked the plan again, chatted occasionally, and headed to the ancient tomb.

Euron was very conflicted after learning that his siblings were half-demon. It was something that could not be helped. The cult was a group whose mission was to eradicate demons, and Euron had always grown up with such teachings.

Daryl never spoke unless necessary.

And before we knew it, everyone fell silent.

This is because the desert, where the daily temperature difference is so large, radiates so much heat as the sun sets in the sky that it is impossible to forget any thoughts of making a fuss.

Sistine approached Aiden and handed her a leather canteen.

“Sir Iden, this is the transition point.”

It is impossible to confidently enter the entrance of the ancient tomb. The first destination was Jeon-i-jin, which the Holy Wizards had worked on in advance.

“How much is left?”

“It’s near the mound over there.”

As Euron and Daryl tore down the small sand mountain, the hidden Suljin appeared.

Everyone got off the camels and sat around the edge of the camp.

“Finally, I explain. The gathering place is behind the altar where ceremonies are held on the 3rd basement floor.”

No one knew where it would transfer underground. Everyone will be scattered.

Euron took out black priest uniforms from his backpack and distributed them to everyone.

It was to disguise themselves as demon cultists.

Iden, who had finished changing clothes, scanned the crew with his eyes.

“God is with you. “I hope everyone is safe.”

Aiden nodded to Sein.

“Everyone, please listen to the scroll.”

As Sein chanted the spell, Jeon Ijin burned brightly.

“Now tear it apart.”

The small town’s annual budget evaporated in an instant.

Everyone’s new model has disappeared.

*

The place where Iden transferred was a corridor on the second basement floor where ancient warriors were lined up in a line.

All of them were as frozen as stone statues.

‘The location is not bad.’

Rather, I was worried about other personnel. It would have been a bit difficult if Sein or Priest Bandel had teleported to a distant place. However, this was an element that could only be left to luck.

Aiden walked in the direction where the unpleasant sound of prayer was coming from.

I felt sick as I heard the strange sound echoing through the walls. It was not a voice made by normal people.

The sound is getting closer. The occasional scream made Iden anxious.

The moment I saw the exit of the corridor, I felt a sign of presence in front.

There was nothing in the passageway that could cover Aiden’s size.

Aiden put his hood down and walked in the direction where the footsteps were approaching.

Iden encountered a demon cultist wearing a black priest’s uniform.

“That big guy I haven’t seen before?”

“Shinjin.”

“Oh yeah?”

He trotted over to Iden.

“But why are you so stiff? Relax. strength.”

The man walked around Aiden and tapped her body.

“But are you a priest? “My body is strong.”

“He’s from Benzema…”

“Oh, I thought so. The magicians are so tough that they made up people like you. ah! You know Benzema’s Schrein, right? “That bastard joined the school with me, so he’s probably about the same size as you?”

“yes.”

“Oh wait a minute. “I wonder if his name was Shurein… It’s been so long that it’s hard to tell.”

Aiden was increasingly feeling the limits of his patience.

“Oh, I don’t know. “It’s done.”

The man pretended to be obscene with his hands.

“You know those babies you gathered to feed Marticoras? If you’re a newbie, you probably haven’t even tasted it. Follow me, you bastard. Whining is so much fun. “I’ll give you a good experience.”

The guy gestured.

“You want me to come quickly? “Squaw…”

Iden’s hand shot into the guy’s mouth.

He ripped out the man’s jawbone and opened his mouth wide. Sёarᴄh the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

I immediately grabbed my tongue. The man looked at Iden with dazed eyes, unable to even scream.

“Wow…”

“You should try whining too.”

Aiden’s voice was coldly low.

“Why don’t you try it?”

“It’s so big…”

The man whined as he tightened his grip.

“Dirty bastard.”

He pulled out his tongue and wrapped it around the man’s neck.

The human tongue is much longer than it appears, so even after turning it around, there is about a span of length left.

He fell to the floor without even a word.

Aiden hid the body behind the statue and walked away.
