Dark Fantasy Paladin Chapter 103
Episode 103
Blood burst from the underground and poured down like rain. It drenched the astrological sites and made the loose sand soggy.
The night wind blew from somewhere, turning into black blood and blowing across the desert.
Aspects that have become hardened. Those who did not know the existence of the earth dragon could not understand the current situation at all. Even if it was the blood of a demonic beast, the amount was beyond common sense.
Chi-ik! Black smoke rose from the skin of the saints.
Bale, a second-tier espionage paladin, said as he wiped away the blood running down his cheek.
“High-ranking devil…”
The blood was burning the skin. The bodily fluids of an ordinary demon cannot cause this kind of reaction. At the very least, he was a one-of-a-kind demon that inhabited the Demon World. If an ordinary person were covered in that blood, their whole body would have melted.
Bale looked very perplexed.
Because it was a phenomenon we only studied in textbooks. The owner of this blood was not a demon that existed on the continent.
He looked back at his colleagues. Everyone looked like they didn’t know.
Iden told them.
“You have to run now to survive.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the ground began to shake. Something is coming.
Spy Veil opened his mouth, wary of his surroundings.
“Ha, we will fight together.”
The intelligence unit was a non-combat unit. Since we specialized in scouting, disruption, and espionage, there was no need to face the current situation head-on.
Iden said, looking at them.
“Do not forget your duty.”
“Hana, I can’t leave His Holiness alone.”
“What are your commandments?”
The Aspects spoke in unison.
“Silent devotion. We are the only shade allowed by the sun.”
Iden immediately burst into laughter. The brilliant light flew into the night sky and burned up the darkness instead of the sun.
My son-in-law turned bright white.
Aiden said calmly.
“There is no darkness here. “There is no place for you to stand, so go quickly and bring your troops.”
A distant divinity fell like a divinity carrying Aiden’s voice. It was close to a word.
The Aspects could not refuse. I came to my senses and answered loudly.
“I will follow your orders!”
I immediately turned around and started running. Iden shifted his gaze towards Euron.
Even in the midst of his shock, he was consecrating his sword with Aiden’s divine power.
Iden approached and stopped him.
“You are not a new soldier. Now fight with your might.”
There were clear limits to fighting with someone else’s divinity. Although it may display a power that is far superior to that of the original body, in the long run, it is a loss.
For Euron, it would be more efficient to focus on Aurors. It was a fact he knew well.
Euron said as if he was blaming himself.
“It reminded me of the past and I did it as a habit.”
An aura appeared immediately. A translucent air current wrapped around his blade. There was a low vibration sound.
Daryl’s chains also spread out in all directions like spider webs. All kinds of ugly weapons, including blades and poisons, invaded the air.
The two have improved quite a bit since they haven’t seen each other.
Preparations for battle are over.
Iden quietly began to listen. The shaking axis. The ground itself was shaking as if a large figure was writhing underneath.
Iden’s hearing caught a single point in the roar. The sound of sand being swept away was heard. Iden shifted his gaze.
The area 100 meters ahead was sinking like an ant hell. Grains of sand poured down without stopping.
Daryl swallowed dryly.
“Your Holiness seems like a pretty scary guy.”
“Don’t be scared.”
“You don’t know the feeling of fear.”
The words and facial expressions were quite different. He was shaking a little.
The vibration becomes increasingly stronger. Finally, the ground cleared up. A huge crater took its place.
Something began to rise from the deep cliff in front. At the same time, a cylindrical lump of flesh rose vertically.
It stretched out endlessly with the momentum to pierce the night sky.
Earth Dragon Tohugayaren. He was the child of the earth god Gaia and a fallen divine beast. The one with a 500m body would be the strongest demonic beast on the continent.
In the original, that monster contaminates half the continent. Paladin belatedly subdues him, but humanity has already suffered irreversible damage.
The continent slowly decayed and eventually melted. Iden intended to twist the plot.
In fact, if he had not become a god earlier than expected, the subjugation was one of the episodes that required thorough preparation by organizing a separate regular army.
It was only a stepping stone for growth, but it was the result of a reversed development and Aiden’s rapid growth.
Iden looked up into the high sky.
The earth dragon also bent its body and looked at the ground.
The guy’s face was blank. There was just a void 50 meters in diameter, and there were no facial features.
No, that pitch-black space might be the oral cavity. It was causing a primal discomfort.
Euron Daryl Uriel swallowed his voice.
Aiden said.
“Do not resist.”
Euron looked at Iden with a puzzled expression.
“What is that…”
Before he could finish his sentence, a huge force of gravity began to pull the ground.
As if gravity had reversed, the grains of sand floated into the sky and were sucked into the Earth Dragon’s void.
The group’s hair was flying wildly.
Iden looked at Uriel.
“Let’s begin.”
While flying all the way here, I had explained the general plan to Yuriel.
She immediately began chanting a hymn. The sacred barrier enveloped the party individually. He was the highest ranking station commander.
Aiden said.
“Enter the earth dragon’s body.”
Iden grabbed Daryl and Euron by the tail and threw them into the sky.
The two who emerged were swallowed by the earth dragon without any time to resist.
Iden immediately picked up Uriel and went straight to the earth dragon. Yupe followed behind him.
*
The interior of Tohu Gayaren was a place where common sense from the outside did not apply. I couldn’t guess the size and width. It was the so-called subspace.
It would have been more correct to think of it as being inside the earth dragon’s mind rather than within its body.
The inside of the demon beast was extremely bizarre.
The sky with a dark red sun rising. Everywhere was full of demonic energy and the ground was barren and cracked.
No life other than the devil will be able to survive.
Daryl frowned.
“There’s no way to know what this place is doing.”
Aiden answered.
“It is a place that pollutes the lives it swallows.”
Humans become devils and beasts turn into magical beasts. Vegetation rots and rots, and clear water becomes poisonous.
Although it was originally the opposite, the Earth Dragon will now move to pollute the present world. Because it was corrupted.
Yuriel nodded as if he had expected it. He said with a somewhat bitter expression.
“As expected, it was Tofugayaren.”
It was a divine beast that had several lines written about in the Bible. A giant earthworm that absorbs pollution, purifies it, and enriches the earth. However, it was an entity that disappeared immediately after Gaia’s death.
The guardian of nature was no longer anywhere. Out of resentment toward the sun that killed his mother, he became a demonic beast who gave his soul to Cromwell.
Euron said in horror.
“Aren’t you the beast that inherited Gaia’s place?”
Yuriel nodded.
“that’s right. “Although the sun has recovered all divinity.”
Yuriel knew a little differently. In fact, Gaia’s power had been transferred to Elquidora.
An earth dragon sits on the throne, and the godhead is held by Elquidora. Since the power was divided, both had an ambiguous status.
Iden planned to unite and establish the Earth God.
Aiden looked around and said.
“It’s slowly coming together. “Get ready.”
Although I couldn’t see it yet, hybrids were attacking me from all directions.
They are demons polluted by the fallen earth dragon, and were originally humans or beasts from the continent.
Since they were not creatures poisoned by demonic energy, even Yuper could not purify them.
They were people whose roots had been turned into evil.
The sound of footsteps getting closer. Screams of madness echoed from all directions.
The intention was to tear Uriel’s barrier and pollute clean souls.
Iden immediately got on Yupe’s back. It flew into the sky with only Uriel on board.
Daryl and Euron looked perplexed.
Iden spoke above their heads.
“It is your role. Fight until you die.”
Then I looked at Yuriel.
“Take heart and watch the two of you. “Don’t help if you can, but move when you are in danger of death.”
“Your Holiness, if that happens…”
“I will believe you.”
After saying that, Iden jumped down to the ground again.
I started to cover the front. I ran like a flash of light, passing the charging demons.
A few strong individuals were also seen. It will be difficult for Euron and Daryl. However, like Aiden, they too had developed powers related to destroying evil.
You become stronger by fighting. They also deployed Yuriel, so the two of them were able to overcome it.
Iden believed so.
I ran through the desolate field without even looking back. I passed a few misshapen cypress trees and crossed a rotten stream.
Finally, the destination began to come into view in the distance.
The main church of the Cromwellian Church. It was an altar of evil located in the image of the earth dragon.
Huge candlesticks were placed one on each side, maintaining a rectangular frame.
Hundreds of demon cultists stood inside and looked at Aiden. There was extreme tension on their faces.
Because Iden was a scary person. There was no intelligent being on the current continent who did not know Taekwang.
It was truly a disaster for the devil and the demonic religion.
Iden slowed down and walked towards them.
He said calmly.
“Just keep doing what you were doing.”
They were performing a ritual to transform themselves into demons.
Originally, demonization was scheduled for a year later, but Aiden’s intervention forced the cultists to act hastily.
Iden woke up the earth dragon too early.
There really wasn’t much left until the complete fall, and it was a very disappointing thing for them.
If we had waited one more year, we would have been able to proceed with a much more complete demonization with the evil intent in the Earth Dragon’s mind. There would have been no need for a ceremony.
Iden ruined everything.
“Go ahead and finish it.”
But he was demanding that the ritual continue. There was no sign of hostility.
The believers looked at each other.
Just as one of the cultists was about to ask Iden a question, a light passed down the cultist’s neck.
It was a holy light wielded by Iden. The man’s head fell to the ground.
Aiden said.
“Don’t talk to me and become a devil.”
It was powerless to even respond. They hesitated for a moment and then began chanting a spell. He chatted in an unpleasant voice range and danced around.
The madness spread in waves.
Aiden watched the scene for a moment and then walked to the center of the altar. The cultists trembled and distanced themselves from Aiden as he passed by.
They continued to dance while being wary of Iden.
Iden looked at the crystal ball placed in the middle of the altar.
The Earth Dragon Tofugayaren resigns. It was dark purple, but not black.
I thought the corruption was over, but my expectations were a little different. It was a reaction that unfolded quickly.
Aiden thought for a moment.
If the Earth Dragon was killed like this, the God Slayer would grow, but there was a high probability that the Seeker of Destruction would not react. This is because Tofugayaren was not yet a complete demon beast.
It was less efficient than expected. Wait until he turns into a devil? It wasn’t bad, but it had other uses.
This was a possible method since Tohu Gayaren had not been infected with malice.
While I was lost in such thoughts, several believers who had turned into devils glared at Aiden.
I couldn’t attack it yet. I just changed the target.
The demons ran like crazy towards Euron and Daryl.
They seemed to know their role well. Euron and Daryl’s form. Iden slaughtered only a few really strong ones and released the rest.
Then I fell into thought again.
Either save the earth dragon or kill it. Or, there was a way to wait until he became a devil.
The last option was not very effective. Because I couldn’t specify the time. Actually, I didn’t really feel like it.
When I made up my mind to just subdue it according to the rules, a weak voice came out from the crystal ball.
“······I want to live. “I miss my mother.”
Boy’s voice. Aiden was a little troubled.
