Dark Fantasy Paladin Chapter 60

Episode 60

Eastern part of the empire.

Aiden spent a year getting black blood on his sword.

He moved tirelessly with the sole intention of completely eradicating the remnants of evil remaining in the vicinity of the principality.

Another village was liberated today. And this was the last place.

Once a principality, now there were no demons to be found near the Walenstalga Sanctuary.

The same goes for demon religion. The eastern region became the cleanest region in the empire.

The land was still barren because of the giant’s forest, but people were able to live comfortably.

The majority of the eastern population wanted to move to the sanctuary. However, they were the property of the lord and the sanctuary had not been completed in the first place, so it was impossible now.

Aiden planned to accept the residents once the castle was finished.

The lords will not be very opposed. They couldn’t even begin to count the blessings they had received from Aiden over the past year.

Aiden was sitting on the roof of the stable in the village he had liberated, drinking water.

I developed a habit of sitting on high places to rest.

It was burdensome for Aiden to have residents who lived without anything give him this and that.

If I were up here, I could at least escape the barrage of food and fruit.

There were people who occasionally threw things at me, but with that level of will, it was difficult for even Iden to break them.

So I took a bite of the apple. Since fruit does not grow in the East, it was like handing over a very valuable asset.

Aiden chewed an apple and looked towards the strait where the Demon Lord was located. Although it couldn’t be seen because it was blocked by a gray barrier, it was as clear as if it were right in front of us.

Will my current skills work there? That thought suddenly occurred to me.

Aiden has become much stronger than before. It was the result of focusing on growth for a year, and I thought this would be enough to get me through the beginning.

Hana immediately shook her head.

Because pride was prohibited. I was also curious about the legacy that Kadak would hand over, but it was still on hold.

I had to get everything I could from the continent and move on.

Those thoughts were suddenly cut off by a black seal that had landed gently on the cabin.

It was a theory.

“The lord’s church sent me a copy of Jeon Seo-gu.”

She exchanged an oath of allegiance with Iden a few months ago.

An ordinary paladin could not form a master-slave relationship with a Valkyrie. However, it was possible because Iden was a saint.

Siron was God’s Valkyrie and a heroic knight.

“Read it first.”

She nodded. Then he opened the small note and began to read it carefully.

His eyes trembled slightly and he occasionally uttered a sigh of relief.

As expected, there was only one reaction like that.

Siron looked at Aiden with anxious eyes.

“······The demi-humans have begun to move south. “The Perpetual World is also empty.”

Aiden calmly nodded.

“What about the King of Unemployed Beasts?”

In the original work, the king who ascended to the throne was different for each route. Iden could not be identified either.

“Fenrir. “They say they are descendants of the wolf that swallowed the moon.”

Aiden laughed. It seemed like this damned world had no intention of giving us an easy option.

Fenrir was one of the biggest reasons why players gave up on the game.

The strongest beast in the five fingers of the mortal world. It was a creature that was almost impossible to subdue.

Aiden’s face darkened. To Shiron, such an expression was somewhat unfamiliar.

Siron said with a smile.

“Do not worry. The Sword Saint who protects the North once butchered Fenrir. “It will be possible this time too.”

Gielan Fenrir. It was the name given to Geomseong when he was young, after killing and stealing the leader of the Black Wolf of the time.

Since Fenrir was a title that was passed down in that way, it was somewhat absurd to call the current Beast King Fenrir.

Heilang probably intends to get his name back. Because two Fenrir could not exist under the sky.

So, can Gielan keep his name? Aiden seemed impossible.

This is because the Heilang that Geomsung faced in the past was not an adult.

There was no human who could fight head-on and win against a fully grown heilang leader.

In terms of force alone, she was on par with the four-tailed Saya.

In a word, a disaster. It was a challenge that had to be faced head-on because it could not be avoided.

Iden opened his mouth.

“I have to go north.”

Siron nodded.

“You can just join the troops in Sachili. “The church controlled it that way.”

It seemed like they too were participating in the war.

As Iden stood up, Siron looked at him and smiled. There seemed to be something difficult to say.

“Take it easy.”

She nodded and cautiously opened her mouth.

“······If it were a nine-tailed fox, wouldn’t it be possible to stop the demihumans from moving south? “Heilang is a canine animal.”

Iden shook his head.

As Siron said, Heilang worships the nine-tailed fox. However, Saya did not have a divine throne yet.

Because it wasn’t nine-tailed.

Now, a year later, no matter how much I lengthen my tail, two is probably the limit.

“impossible.”

Siron had a general understanding of Aiden.

When he says something, he never tells me why.

However, because the results always went as he predicted, Siron did not question it.

She also stood up.

“I heard that the troops passed through the Garman Plain.”

Aiden headed straight to Carshua County.

*

Eagles covered the barren wilderness.

It was the emblem of the Marquis Sacillier.

Troops lined up all the way to the horizon. A large army of over 10,000 people was heading north.

The marquis’s family’s flags were seen in abundance, and a carriage with a sun pattern was also running on the red-brown land.

Uriel, who was riding in the carriage, was slightly sulking. It was Aiden’s fault.

He hasn’t shown his face once in a year. Is that it? Even on the day of the investiture ceremony, he left without even saying goodbye.

I fully understood that I was busy, but I couldn’t help but feel sad.

Still, she missed Iden.

In fact, the reason I moved to the north with Sachilie was because I wanted to accompany Aiden.

Her original domicile was the Marquis of Sacillier, so she had many excuses to give to the church.

Yuriel suddenly felt a little pathetic for doing this and sighed softly.

But what can I do? That blunt person will never come close to you unless you approach him first.

The fact that he stopped walking as soon as he achieved his goal of mental vision was proof of this.

Just as I was making a sad and depressed expression, cheers erupted outside.

As expected, Yuriel immediately opened the window. Iden was approaching the ranks, leading his horse.

The soldiers and knights became one and shouted Iden’s name loudly.

There was envy and respect in their eyes, and excitement and worry in Uriel’s eyes.

‘Why did it hurt like that again…’

Aiden’s face was full of scars.

He moved to the front, talked for a while with the commander, and then slowly approached the carriage.

It was Uriel’s design.

Iden turned his horse’s head and rode slowly alongside the carriage.

Then he looked at Yuriel and opened his mouth.

“Saint, it’s been a while. “I heard you had something to say.”

Nothing has changed.

“Will you listen there?”

“I’ll pass.”

When Uriel tried to stop the carriage, Iden stopped him.

I patted Petra’s butt and immediately grabbed the carriage door handle.

“Please move to the side.”

Saying that, he swung open the door. The wind blew and shook Yuriel’s hair. Iden immediately boarded inside.

The well-trained horse went off to replace its place on its own.

Yuriel looks a little embarrassed. Iden looked at her and made an apologetic expression.

“The smell will be terrible. “I’ll leave quickly.”

I haven’t been able to wash properly for weeks. According to Iden’s common sense, few women would be able to withstand a smell like this.

On the other hand, Yuriel shook her head with a nonchalant expression.

This was because the perception of the odor changed depending on who was emitting it.

It was definitely a stimulating scent, but it was a man’s scent.

“Don’t worry about it. “More than that, look at your face.”

Uriel closed the window and reached out to Aiden’s scar.

When her fingertips touched his face, Iden turned his head slightly.

“You don’t have to do this.”

“Stay still.”

The voice was quite firm, so Iden just gave in. Warm divinity flowed from her index finger and seeped into the wound.

Yuriel stared at Iden with pitiful eyes.

“You said you would be careful.”

“Everything else is fine.”

“Take it off.”

Iden looked at her in silence. Yuriel blushed in surprise at what I said.

“Oh no. That’s not it… let’s look at the wound.”

“It’s really okay. “I heard you have more to say than that.”

Yuriel cleared his throat slightly to relieve his embarrassment. After a while, he looked at Aiden with a rather serious expression and said.

“······He repeatedly refused Her Highness’s calls.”

First Princess Lapelia. He was a person that Aiden was deliberately avoiding. Because now was not the time to get involved with her.

Yuriel said in a slightly worried tone.

“Don’t go against His Highness Lord Iden’s wishes too much. He’s a really scary person. “The princess.”

When Uriel was Sachilie’s daughter, she was an inseparable friend of Lapelia.

Therefore, I knew the princess better than anyone else.

When I looked into my heart, I was the only person whose outside and inside matched. He was also a kind but very cruel person.

I grew up carefully watching how people treated people outside of their eyes.

No matter how much of a hero Iden was, it was obvious that it would be very difficult to fight against her.

Yuriel emphasized once again.

“Please do not refuse His Majesty’s request.”

“I will listen carefully.”

However, Iden had no choice. The moment you face the princess, you will be stranded in the empire.

I needed a little more time. We were not to meet her until we found a leash to put on her.

Uriel said with a small sigh to Iden, who was lost in thought for a moment.

“The ball is really consistent. He said the same thing to me, and now he’s cheating on me like that too,

making me anxious. I had a hard time swallowing my words.

Aiden bowed his head slightly.

“I admit it. “There have been many examples so far.”

While saying that, he grabbed the doorknob.

“It’s a long way to the north. Rest in peace. “I’ll just leave now.”

Yuriel grabbed Aiden’s arm with a stern expression.

“no. You must be here too. “I don’t accept any disagreement because I still have to get treatment.”

She was firm.

*

The exhaled breath of the warhorse passed through the window in the cool breeze.

Before I knew it, the scenery outside the window had become pure white.

The numerous troops were split into dozens and scattered to the northern border.

This land was so vast and the demigods moved south at random, so they couldn’t concentrate all their power in one place.

Iden turned his head out the window. A familiar place. A small cabin was belching smoke.

The procession slowly stopped.

As soon as the carriage door was opened, someone’s voice followed.

“Lord Aiden—!”

It was Euron. He rushed over to me, got down on one knee, and took the bow.

“Have you been safe so far?”

Aiden smiled slightly and helped Euron stand up.

“You’ve gained quite a bit of muscle.”

He wiped his nose and smiled brightly.

“It’s still far from enough.”

Iden glanced at him. Because I had a sharp eye, I was able to roughly guess Euron’s accomplishments.

Great development. The growth was excessive to have been achieved in a short period of one year.

I don’t know what kind of training I did, but it was probably hell.

Meanwhile, the door to the cabin opened. The Sword Saint stepped back and looked at Aiden.

“Looking at it again, it seems like a strange entity. What have you been doing? “I think you filled the bowl quite a bit.”

Gielan said and pointed at Euron.

“I was going to ask you to have a fight with your bastard. I will only be disappointed. Tsk.”

On the other hand, Euron seemed to be hoping for something. Iden smiled and nodded.

“Okay, let’s see.”

Euron waved his hand and refused, as if it was unreasonable.

At least one eye burned with passion.

Iden took a few steps back. He motioned for me to come in.

The knights and garrison soldiers stopped what they were doing and gave them curious looks.

“Big. Then, Sir Iden. “Can I ask you a favor?”

“Even if you come in.”

Euron bowed his waist.

“Excuse me!”

Then he laid the long sword parallel to his side and slowly pulled it out.

Translucent ripples rippled around him. It was an auror.

Iden smiled with satisfaction.
