Dark Fantasy Paladin Chapter 38Episode 38

Yuriel could not think of any other alternative.

It is said that the paladin who personally fought the battle believed in blessings and was sure of victory, but that premise has now disappeared.

From now on, it meant gambling.

That was something that deviated from Uriel’s beliefs.

No matter how likely it was to subdue Elpis without a blessing, countless lives could not be put up as collateral.

Even though the situation was harsh for Uriel and Aiden was unpleasant, she made a quick decision based on her beliefs.

He looked at Aiden with a stern expression.

“I just make one promise.”

“Please speak.”

“Never use it on me.”

“All right.”

“I won’t forgive you.”

Iden nodded. In the first place, I had no intention of looking into Yuriel’s inner thoughts.

Even though she was broken, she was not someone who would degenerate into a villain. The original work was proof.

Iden pointed to the stone tablet.

“Just place your palm and touch it.”

“Is there anything else you want to say?”

“Nothing in particular.”

Uriel stared at Aiden’s face and then turned his head towards the stone slab.

I felt like a fool for expecting a word of thanks from this blunt man.

The two put their hands on the slate.

At the same time, blue light flowed from the words and enveloped Iden and Yuriel.

A light haze spread to the wrists and eyes where each power resided.

Aiden said calmly.

“I will use it for good causes. Thank you.”

This was the truth that Yuriel finally confirmed.

“Be sure to do so.”

Yuriel drew a bittersweet line.

My mind is now leaving my side. Separating from the power that had been with me my whole life left me with a feeling of regret, but there was also a clear feeling of refreshment.

There were many lessons given by Siman, but the wounds were also great.

If you put the two on a scale, they might weigh the same.

Therefore, Uriel believed that she did not have romantic feelings for humans.

Recently, that thinking has changed a bit.

He said he could still be disappointed and expect more from people.

It didn’t feel too bad.

I looked at Aiden. The only person you can’t tell even with your mind’s eye.

He tells lies, hurts people without thinking, and sometimes seems to view people as tools.

The ending he created was always good.

Many people were saved by him.

Is it evil or hypocrisy? Yuriel couldn’t answer.

However, I was curious about the world he would see through his eyes from now on.

Those cold, sunken eyes were clearly carrying something, but since I didn’t know what that identity was, I wanted to find out.

I wanted to hear the story he would write.

I had no doubt that there were no more emotions than that. It had to be that way.

“It’s done.”

The blue haze of thoughts faded away and ended abruptly.

Yuriel tightened his eyes. The mind’s eye didn’t work.

It is said that people who lose a part of their body feel extremely awkward for a while. Yuriel was able to fully sympathize.

It was very unfamiliar because there was nothing there before.

On the other hand, Aiden’s pupils were filled with strangeness. He nodded and looked at Uriel as if he was satisfied.

“I guess we should try the experiment outside.”

“Again, don’t even dream about me.”

“I will keep my promise.”

Yuriel activated her powers as a habit. However, nothing was visible.

She sighed softly, as if resigned. Iden grabbed the holy sword that was rolling on the floor again.

“Let’s finish here for now.”

Black magic energy was gathering in one place. They became entangled with each other and took on some form.

Iden frowned at the rotten smell and unpleasant air current.

“Please bless me when I give you the signal.”

No matter how much you can come back to life, you must still be afraid of death.

It was difficult for Yuriel to understand the paladin who did not show any signs of such a thing.

Of course, Iden had his own reasons.

Because I wasn’t meant to die that easily.

Unlike games with save points, this was a stark reality, so if you died, it was over.

Therefore, Iden has invested quite a lot of points into abilities directly related to survival.

In some ways, it was not a human body. This was the reason I was able to survive the backlash of the blessing a little while ago.

Even if Yuriel hadn’t treated him, he would have eventually recovered. Of course, he would have been killed by Elpis before that.

Aiden was grateful to Uriel in many ways. Since I was indebted to him, I planned to repay him somehow.

Iden grabbed the sword tightly. First of all, the priority was to slaughter the demon in front of me.

Pieces of Elpis meat that had been rolling around on the floor gradually began to float into the air.

The demon energy swirled around and devoured the remains.

It gradually takes shape. A skeleton settled inside the black smoke, and skin covered it.

A woman’s body. One side of his bulging chest was rotten and rotting. The rotten skin gave off a foul odor.

The flowing black hair that Elpis sported when she was human was covered in sticky oil and stuck to her body.

Both eye sockets were empty. This was because the eyeballs were removed on their own. Black bloody tears flowed down.

The demon energy turned into faded holy armor and covered her rotten body.

Finally, a pitch-black holy sword fell from the air.

Elpis walked slowly and grabbed the sword. She looked up at the ceiling and opened her mouth. A sour smell filled the palace.

“······ Paladin Elpis Balorhard. “I will carry out the task that was left unfinished.”

As soon as I finished speaking, a terrible pressure pressed down on me. Blah blah blah! The ground cracked and the air shook.

Yuriel immediately deployed a sacred barrier to protect himself. If I had been a little late, all my internal organs would have exploded.

Even Aiden felt like he was having trouble breathing.

The moment Elpis’ new model soared into the air, Iden ran across the ground.

He should never have been sent to earth.

“Elpis—!”

She had no ears and could not hear. I sensed a divinity and turned my head.

Jealousy over the power he had lost and resentment toward the church turned into a fierce scream that rang loudly.

Aiden’s heart swelled with murderous intent. I wanted to cut that ugly being and quickly put its blood on my sword.

Iden flew through the air. The distance narrowed in an instant. It fell on Elpis’ head with the holy sword raised. The devil raised one arm.

Quaaaaaaaaa! The collision between holy sword and holy sword shook the earth and spread ripples.

Holy power and demonic energy intertwined and soared into the sky. The great repulsive force made the air howl sharply.

Elpis lifted Aiden’s abdomen with her free hand. Bye! The breastplate was completely shattered and Iden’s body soared into the air.

He broke the Chantelier and stuck himself on the ceiling, spitting out red blood.

“Kuheoeook.”

The source easily overwhelmed Iden. The Seeker of Destruction went into a frenzy to kill the guy, but he couldn’t make up for the gap in skill with emotions alone.

I reflected on my weaknesses and objectified my abilities. There was a long way to go.

I felt the reality that I had no choice but to use the trick of blessing.

There is only one chance. And that’s just 1 second. When the optimal situation was established, it had to be done at once.

So I didn’t avoid it.

Sigh! The dark red holy sword pierced Aiden’s shoulder and stuck in the ceiling.

Elpis stared at Aiden with empty eyelids. The stench irritated my nose.

Iden grasped her holy sword tightly. To prevent it from being pulled out.

“Uriel—!”

Before I knew it, informal language came out.

Immediately afterwards, Uriel recited a verse from the Bible. Blood flowed from the saintess’s eyes, nose, and mouth. She frowned in pain.

No matter how much Uriel used the Highest Blessing twice a day, it took a toll on his body.

Hana continued to sing.

Elpis hit Aiden’s face with her festering fist. Puk puk puk puk puk puk! My nose bone sank and my cheekbones caved in. My jawbone was aching.

Nevertheless, Aiden did not let go of Elpis’ sword.

As my mind began to fade, the light that was wandering around the palace began to glow.

Immediately after, it went straight to Aiden like a flash war.

The feeling from before comes back. The world stopped except for him. Elpis’ fist was slowly crawling.

Yuriel opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling.

Elpis’ head flew through the air. It broke in half and immediately turned into powder and scattered.

A headless body exploded from the ceiling, pouring out black blood like rain.

The devil was nowhere to be found.

Uriel, who intuitively observed that moment, could not even imagine Iden’s state.

If the Sword Saint or Paladin had been here, they would have been nervous as well.

Iden fell to the floor. Yuriel ran straight ahead and raised his wrist imbued with power.

Because I believed he was dead.

I knew how to use it instinctively. The moment I placed my hand on his chest, Iden gaped.

Yuriel’s expression hardened in shock.

“How…”

His whole body was covered in red blood, his half-severed shoulder was tattered, and his face was splattered, but

his life was still alive. I felt it when I treated Aiden, who had jumped into the blue flame, but his vitality was so absurd.

Yuriel immediately imbued divine power into her palms.

Because we had to make it possible to move independently of surviving.

He held it to his forehead and recited a prayer.

He gathered all the divinity within his body and poured it into Aiden.

The recoil caused dizziness. I accelerated with the intention of squeezing out every last drop.

Uriel looked at Aiden’s broken face with a sad expression.

I looked pitifully at my torn shoulder.

Fortunately, the wound gradually healed, but Uriel’s vision became blurry.

A feeling of exhaustion, as if my soul was draining away. The moment her body slowly tilted, Aiden’s large arms caught her.

Aiden gritted his teeth, raised his upper body, and looked at Uriel.

Uriel, whose eyes were half closed, put his hand to Aiden’s face with difficulty, as if there was still something left to do.

Aiden said, barely suppressing the pain.

“This is enough.”

“But the face…”

“It doesn’t matter.”

Iden lifted her onto his shoulders and stood up.

It felt like my whole body was screaming and telling me not to be blessed again.

Kuuuung!

The devil’s ruins let out a loud roar. It seemed that the palace could not withstand the passage of time as the resentment of Elpis, who had supported this place, disappeared.

I had to pack everything I needed and get out quickly.

Iden walked between the pillars where the demon was tied and ripped out all the ground there.

The hidden space inside was revealed. He immediately left the palace with a small box someone had placed at his side. Sёarᴄh the NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The barrier, which had gradually lost its meaning, was unable to withstand the water pressure and was collapsing.

Aiden took a deep breath, intent on inhaling all the remaining air.

My lungs were inflated. Jonah’s power could end, so preparations had to be made in advance.

Yuriel imitated his actions while remaining limp.

In fact, she didn’t need to.

This was because Aiden’s lungs were so powerful that they could store two servings of oxygen.

Aiden immediately inserted the holy sword into the lower part of the barrier. The weakened membrane opened easily. He just squeezed in and threw himself into the deep sea.
