Dark Fantasy Paladin Chapter 37

Episode 37

Sharp nails reach towards Uriel’s eyes.

Iden immediately pulled out Gargantua and imbued it with divine power.

The Holy Spear shot its body and aimed at Elpis’ head. The devil flexibly leaned back and evaded.

Quaaaaaaaaa! Gargantua struck the wall, sending stone debris down.

Meanwhile, Yuriel was continuing to sing the hymn.

Elpis turned her head towards Aiden.

Kieeeeek!

Iden didn’t know how something without a mouth could make sounds.

However, the noise was so disgusting that it only made me vomit.

As the devil got excited, the Seeker of Destruction also went crazy with him.

Iden slightly reduced the length of the holy spear and pulled it out from the wall. At the same time, I hit the guy right in the face.

Bah! With the sound of a blow, the demon plummeted to the ground. Iden jumped. I put my weight on the holy sword and struck it at a right angle.

There was no feeling of piercing flesh.

The black marble shattered, scattering debris everywhere. The devil was already behind me.

The moment Aiden straightened his back, long fingernails ran diagonally down from his left shoulder to his right pelvis.

Sigh! The armor was torn like a piece of paper, and red blood flowed into the air. Immediately the saint offered up a prayer.

“Saint Bachekssar, please grant me your blessings.”

A cluster of lights floating in the air stuck to Aiden and healed his wounds. The bleeding stopped instantly.

The pain subsided a little.

The holy sword traced a path toward the guy’s neck. In parallel. I couldn’t reach one. The demon reacted in an instant and raised his arm to block. Quang! The nails and blades clashed and sparks flew out.

The guy couldn’t withstand Aiden’s might and was pushed back for a long time. Quad deuk! The marble was ground apart by friction.

Iden did not rest. I lifted my heel slightly. My thighs were swollen to the point of bursting and my calves were as hard as stone.

Sigh! The ground was caved in. As soon as the recoil spread due to wind pressure, it flew out like a lightning bolt.

I closed the distance in an instant and plunged the holy sword into the lower abdomen of the one being pushed away. It worked this time. The taste of my hands digging into my skin seeped through my sword body.

Kieeeeek!

Banjogari screamed. Black blood spurted out and wet Aiden’s face.

I turned the knife parallel to the guy’s body. The muscles clenched the blade, but I forced myself to twist it.

Tsk! The holy sword was half exposed outside of the guy’s body. Blood flowed down the sword face.

He ducked his head to avoid the long claws flying at him and then cut the devil’s upper body apart. The internal organs and bundles of muscles were pressed against the sword body and came out.

The guy’s upper body fell to the floor. The opportunity should not be missed.

Phase 1 Elpis does not lose its vitality no matter how much you split it. It was a very difficult opponent as it continued to attack even when it became the size of a fingernail.

“Saint!”

Yuriel immediately recited a verse from the Bible.

At the same time, the light converged and struck Aiden like a thunderbolt.

His whole body burned with golden light. All abilities have increased dramatically.

Just 1 second. It was Uriel’s blessing that brought out the target’s potential for a moment.

The world surrounding Aiden stopped. The sensation of time not passing was a reaction to Aiden’s cognitive and physical abilities surpassing those of humans.

It was a strange moment.

Iden never imagined that Uriel’s blessing would have such an effect.

Even if you raise the holy sword, the devil does not move. Even when I cut it into pieces, there was no response. While Elpis repeated the series of actions hundreds of times, time stood still.

In Uriel’s eyes, Aiden looked like a hardened wax doll holding a sword.

All I could do was stare with blank eyes at the pieces of meat that had turned into powder and were flying around.

The blast that tore through the air belatedly shook the palace. There were cracks cracking on the ground.

A second passed and a terrible recoil struck Aiden. My bones were shattered and my muscles were screaming. The pain continued as if my whole body was being sliced with a sashimi knife.

Aiden got down on one knee. I planted the holy sword on the ground and barely managed to support myself.

The expression of Uriel, who was sitting on the chandelier, was filled with astonishment.

The blessing given by Uriel was based on the target’s potential, so it could not transcend the inherent limitations of the recipient.

Additionally, the recoil was so excessive that its effectiveness was limited.

That’s why I couldn’t understand it even more. Even though there were restrictions, Iden’s movements were far beyond human common sense.

I couldn’t even fathom the power that lay dormant inside him.

Of course, the side effects were also terrible. Aiden felt like he might lose his mind if he continued like this.

The focus in his eyes was gradually disappearing. The strength in the arm holding the holy sword slowly relaxed.

Uriel, seeing that, shouted desperately from the chandelier.

“Ah, Lord Iden!”

I could faintly hear her voice.

I must never fall down like this. I ruminated like crazy. The conquest of Elpis is not over.

We have just passed phase 1.

Why did I already receive the blessing? I regretted it. If I had known it would have this much efficiency and recoil, I would have used it during the next phase.

Iden chewed his lips. However, I couldn’t even hold on to the sight of the pain fading away.

Aiden’s new model leaned forward. At that moment, suddenly! A dull sound and a groan were heard at the same time.

Aiden lay face down and turned his head with difficulty. Yuriel, who had jumped from the ceiling, was crawling with a broken ankle.

‘······That woman is also quite extreme.’

Yuriel’s judgment was right. Although she didn’t know about the existence of Phase 2, she knew well that Jonah’s power was coming to an end.

If Iden passed out like that, I might be trapped in the deep sea with him forever.

Uriel had to be treated before he lost his mind.

“Lord Iden!”

She desperately crawled over and grabbed Iden’s ankles with both hands.

I tried to pull it, but it wouldn’t budge with Uriel’s strength. Instead, her body was dragged to Iden.

Uriel began to climb up Aiden, who was lying face down.

My broken ankle was very painful, but I gritted my teeth and held on. All saints had a forbidden condition that could not be healed on their own, so they could not hope for saintly grace.

I felt that the backboard was very wide, even though it was not appropriate for the situation. I immediately shook my head to shake off my thoughts and walked towards his face.

Uriel slightly opened Aiden’s half-closed eyelids. The pupils were diluted.

“Hold on just a little longer.”

Her breath smelled sweet.

Uriel placed his index finger on Aiden’s forehead and closed his eyes.

As they began to sing the hymn, a dazzling light enveloped Iden and Yuriel.

Iden felt warmth.

I even had the illusion of lying on a green plain, basking in the sun and feeling the cool breeze.

Sunlight traveled all over the body. I touched the torn and broken things.

The excruciating pain subsided and my mind began to feel refreshed.

It was a divine power that even high-ranking priests were amazed at.

Aiden opened his eyes. I grabbed Uriel’s shoulder as he was still praying.

She looked at Iden with a surprised face.

Yuriel unknowingly avoided Aiden’s gaze.

“Can I just use that one more time?”

“······yes?”

“No, you have to do it unconditionally.”

Aiden immediately raised his upper body. Yuriel looked up at him with a very embarrassed expression.

Black smoke was slowly gathering where Aiden’s gaze was directed.

As soon as Yuriel checked the airflow, he realized that it was not the end.

“Saint, when I give you the signal, I will ask you again.”

Yuriel answered firmly and immediately.

“Absolutely not.”

Iden looked back at her.

“I might die.”

If the target was an ordinary human being, it was okay to use it one or two more times.

However, Aiden’s potential was too much to contain in his current body. I didn’t know if the dish would break.

Even Uriel couldn’t bring the dead back to life.

At that moment, a thought flashed in Iden’s mind.

Aiden immediately threw the holy sword at the platform with Elpis’ monologue engraved on it. The marble shattered and collapsed in an instant.

I picked up a very embarrassed Uriel and went between the pillars.

The platform lowered, revealing the stone slab enshrined within it.

It was an artifact through which users traded power as an overt Easter egg.

It was a one-time opportunity, so everyone used it cautiously.

“Read it.”

Iden pointed to the instructions written on the bottom of the stone tablet.

“Please put this down for now.”

I gently placed Yuriel on the floor. She cleared her throat and looked at the bottom.

After a moment, Yuriel, who was reading, smiled and nodded.

“I definitely didn’t mean to ask you to gouge out my eyes.”

“I am also human.”

Aiden paused for a moment and then resumed.

“I received the power to revive the lion from the sea god, but unfortunately it is a one-time use.”

Yuriel looked up at Aiden with an expression of uncertainty.

“After exchanging the Mind’s Eye and Reviving, if the Lord dies from the reaction of the blessing, revive him. “Are you really saying that?”

Yuriel was truly impressed by Aiden’s shamelessness.

Because in the end, she will have nothing left. Mind’s eye and resuscitation.

Aiden also knew that it was an unreasonable request. There was nothing I could do.

“As you may have noticed, the subjugation is not over.”

Aiden pointed to the empty space where demonic energy was condensing. It was only a brief lull. There was no way to kill the source so easily.

“Actually, it might be hard for me to beat him right now.”

“You said the odds of winning were good.”

“I believed in the saint’s blessing. However, I never expected this level of efficiency and reaction. This is my negligence. sorry.”

Yuriel’s power was a double-edged sword. You can achieve extreme efficiency, but you only get one chance.

Since Aiden’s body was not completely healed, he might die if he received the blessing again.

Yuriel wondered if this whole situation might have been Aiden’s plan.

If they couldn’t kill the source, the ones who would die would be Iden and Yuriel.

In a way, there was no choice.

If Iden’s intention was to push Uriel into a corner like this, it seemed like she would really be afraid of the man in front of her.

Because he meant that he was a man who would use any means to achieve his goal.

If Elpis is released, the Seirun tribe will be wiped out.

It was as if Iden had taken countless lives hostage and was threatening Uriel to give up her mind’s eye.

I prayed that wasn’t the case. A strange look appeared in Yuriel’s pupils.

I barely managed to speak with my lips quivering.

“Please answer accurately, Lord Iden.”

“I don’t have time for this.”

“One word is enough. “Was that your intention?”

Iden also roughly understood the gist of the question. I felt like I knew roughly how the saint was looking at me.

Iden sighed deeply.

“you’re right.”

When I heard the answer, I was devastated. People are praising this cold-blooded man as a hero.

However, after her mind’s eyes worked and she judged the truth, Yuriel could not help but laugh.

Because it was a lie.

Iden also laughed as if he was empty.

“I am also a person. As I said.”

Yuriel glanced at Aiden.

“Don’t play around like that. never.”

“Then give it to me now.”

Uriel looked at Iden with a shocked expression as he approached the stone slab.

“Please do me a favor when I die.”

“I don’t know.”

“I will try my best to survive. “It’s a power that would be a waste to use in a place like this.”

Still, I had to exchange it. Because you always have to assume the worst.

“You speak as if the power to revive also belongs to the Lord.”

“Not necessarily.”

It was a lie. Uriel was a little disgusted with Iden.
