Chapter 132
Dark Fantasy Paladin Chapter 132
Episode 132
A village in Walenstalga Sanctuary in the eastern part of the empire.
Two men were wandering around the entrance to the village.
“Hurry up!”
“We are finishing it. Please wait a moment.”
Their behavior was ordinary. Disguised in old leather clothes and tattered fur boots, he was clearly a commoner of the empire.
“You can see the stake. “Cover it with dirt quickly.”
His behavior was somewhat suspicious. A short black pillar was driven into the entrance of the village and hidden with gravel and sand.
The superior of the two frowned.
“Get out of the way, you idiot!”
He pointed out the subordinate’s handling of work and pushed him away.
“Can’t you cover this one properly?”
A slightly protruding stake. The superior approached and stamped his foot. After scooping up a few handfuls of dirt and pouring it upwards, the pile disappeared.
He glared at his subordinate.
“Just waste your time.”
“sorry.”
“Is that okay?”
Polar night refers to the time when the white sun rises. As soon as the sun sets, the sanctuary is plunged into darkness.
In front of the white sheep, nothing could contain light.
The subordinate looked up at the sky. The sun was still high in the sky.
“There are about ten hours left.”
“No, it would be nine and a half hours. “Get it right.”
“······Yes, I’m sorry.”
“Let’s get moving first.”
I couldn’t just stop here and talk leisurely. Now that you have completed your mission, you must go to the gathering place.
The superior said as he walked out of the village.
“Have you ever seen the polar night?”
“Not one yet.”
“So, it’s so peaceful.”
“Have you experienced this, Goat?”
“It was terrible.”
Goat briefly recalled the past. When I went on a preliminary field trip near the sanctuary, I saw the white sheep from a distance.
“I couldn’t even enter the sanctuary.”
“I heard it’s very dark.”
Goat smiled and shook his head.
“Darkness is not the problem. Burns away the demon energy of the entire body. “It was quite a distance from Baekyang, but it was hard to even breathe.”
The subordinate sighed deeply.
“Honestly, I’m scared.”
They had to survive the day under the white sun today.
Goth opened his mouth.
“Don’t worry too much. “The second apostle is with us.”
“······Isn’t that actually gambling?”
“I have to try it. There is no other way in the first place. Or will you stay on the continent?”
“I don’t like that.”
Paladin was purifying the continent. They killed most of the demons, hunted down the demon cultists, and transported them to the sanctuary.
The prisoners who were taken away were forced to become training scarecrows. Transformed into a devil in the monster’s stomach, he suffered endlessly.
Taekwang’s cruelty toward evil was so ruthless that the end was unknown.
There will no longer be any place for demon cultists on this continent.
Therefore, we will run away to the devil tomorrow.
The subordinate said with a gloomy expression.
“I just don’t know why I have to go through this place.”
Goth made a bewildered expression.
“The entire eastern part of the continent is a sanctuary, so how can you get to the Demon Realm without passing through the sanctuary?”
What he said was true. Within two years the sanctuary had expanded throughout the East.
The subordinate cautiously opened his mouth.
“······Isn’t it better to escape to the north and launch a boat, even if it means going back a little?”
“Have you ever thought of something like that? “How can I handle Shaylan, the sea god?”
“Ha, but I think it’s safer than here.”
Goth sighed as if he was frustrated.
“Can Taekwang imagine that we would hide under the white sun because it is dark under the lamp?”
“Even so…”
“Besides, this area is the area with less surveillance. The White Sheep Knights went on a large-scale patrol a week ago. I won’t be visiting for a while. Look over there.”
There were trees growing thickly in the direction Goat pointed. Eastern Forest It used to be one of the areas called the Forest of Giants.
“The vegetation zone around here is full of poisonous plants. Do you understand what I mean?”
The subordinate who was thinking shook his head.
“sorry.”
“You stupid bastard. “It means that no one comes here.”
“······Oh, that certainly might be the case.”
“Think about it. “There is plenty of food in other areas, so why would elves or demi-humans come here?”
The subordinate nodded.
“I know what you mean. “It must be empty.”
“Yes, it’s perfect to pass through. “What should I do with Baekyang?”
“······Isn’t that the biggest problem?”
Goth frowned.
“They said there was a preparedness plan. Even if I fail, there is nothing I can do about it. “If I stay on the continent, I’ll be dead, so I have to do something.”
The subordinate smiled slightly.
“Goat, you are very solid.”
“All the surviving believers are like me. But how can a coward like you still be a member of the Demon Cult?”
As a Goth, I couldn’t understand.
“Better repent and convert. “They say Taekwang sometimes shows mercy if you truly reflect on it.”
The subordinate shook his head.
“You can’t do that. The demon god gave me a new life. Who would have thought that an abandoned orphan would grow up like this?”
It was difficult for orphans in this world to survive alone. If you’re lucky, you’ll be able to stay in a religious monastery, but there are very few.
The subordinate smiled.
“I killed the villagers who were pointing fingers at me and pulled out their intestines alive. Everyone was so happy. I felt saved then. I promised myself that I would repay the power that the demon god had lent me. Other than him, no one reached out to me. “Not once.”
Goth looked at the subordinate’s expression and spoke seriously.
“Your faith is quite upright.”
“Haha, if you want to follow Goat, it’s a long way.”
Then he took something out of his arms.
“Aren’t you really hungry?”
It was a wrapping cloth.
“What is it?”
“Try it sometime.”
When the straps were undone, the inside was revealed. It was full of pickled meat.
Goth narrowed his eyebrows.
“Is it really human flesh?”
“Yes, it’s fresh. “It’s the spirit world.”
Goth looked around and suddenly punched the subordinate.
Wow! He said with an angry face.
“What would you do if you got caught? “We could all be found out.”
The subordinate cupped his red cheeks.
“I’m sorry. I just…”
“Damn you Avillard bastard.” “I don’t know how to do anything.”
Believers of the ‘Avilad’ sect enjoy eating human flesh.
When the subordinate tried to throw the wrapping cloth on the floor, an order of disapproval was issued again.
“Are you crazy? “What would happen if I left it there and someone saw it?”
A search will begin. There was not a single race in the sanctuary that ate human flesh.
A low-ranking person who doesn’t know what to do. Goat said, clenching his fists.
“Put it back in. Later, when I enter the forest, I bury it deep in the ground. Do you understand?”
“Oh, I understand. sorry.”
The two entered the forest like that.
*
Twilight. The foot of the mountain covered in dusk was dyed a soft scarlet color.
Sunset will begin soon. The people who were afraid of the polar night were busy moving around.
We were preparing for hell on a plateau surrounded by forests.
“now! “Everyone stop and gather together!”
“First figure out the number of people!”
The believers who were weaving the rope put down what they were doing and ran to the center. On the outside, they were all just ordinary residents.
A total of 40 people lined up in four rows.
The bishop of the Demon God’s ‘Avilard’ sect stopped in front of them. The only surviving bishop. He opened his mouth.
“Have you put all the stakes in?”
The leading superiors responded that it was a success.
The religious leader drew a benevolent line.
“great. “When we arrive at the land of glory, the non-believers here will have been sublimated as sacrifices to the demon god.”
The stakes driven by each group were a type of magic trick. The moment the demon cultists attempt to escape the continent, the magic spell will be activated and devour the residents of the sanctuary.
Some kind of trick. It was intended to attract Taekwang’s attention by blowing it up right before running away.
The cult leader closed his eyes.
“Let us commemorate the sacrifices of non-believers in advance. “Everyone, please pray.”
The believers began to recite prayers in low voices. The unpleasant sound range spread out.
As dusk deepened, the voices eventually quieted down.
The leader opened his eyes and looked back.
“Mephisto, preparations are complete.”
A short man was standing there. He was so dry that his cheekbones were all exposed.
Mephisto, the second apostle of the Demon God Church. He bit the tip of his index finger and drew blood. Then he took a step forward.
After smearing the blood on the bishop’s cheek, he began to apply the same spell to the rest of the believers.
Goth looked at the subordinate.
“Are you nervous?”
“It’s okay.”
“Rest assured. The Apostle will bear our suffering.”
Mephisto was an extreme masochist. Through self-torture, he ruminates on his faith and achieves even Magi.
Those characteristics will be maximized with the current spell.
Finally, all of the cultists benefited from Mephisto.
The religious leader opened his mouth.
“With this we have completed our task. The rest was up to the demon god. Now, let’s all humbly accept it.”
Everyone was very nervous.
I looked up at the sky, breaking into a cold sweat.
The sun is slowly setting over the ridge. He scattered only a single ray of light and disappeared.
Night arrives. It was the watchman’s shift time.
The subordinate muttered.
“Please. please. please. Please…”
“Stay still.”
Immediately afterwards, a small light source erupted from the east. Everyone’s eyes followed him.
The mining sphere extending into the sky suddenly expanded. It was swallowing up all the clouds and starlight hanging at the edge of the night.
It began to burn with great whiteness.
The sanctuary was flooded in the polar night.
Someone fell down.
Did you melt into Baekyang? Goat suddenly had that thought, but realized it wasn’t true.
Because there was no pain anywhere.
That prisoner must have fainted due to hyperventilation caused by tension.
“Ihihihihihi-!”
It was Mephisto’s frantic scream. He endured the pain of 40 people alone.
The pain of demonic energy evaporating. Normally he would have died of shock, but he was just having fun.
It was dark so I couldn’t see his expression.
Got said.
“Are you next to me?”
“Yes, it’s just right.”
“It is a success. The Apostle bore it all.”
The subordinate whimpered. You must have been filled with emotion.
“Let’s shed tears tomorrow and rest for today.”
Goat grabbed the rope that had been set up during the day.
The rope was connected to a campsite where a bonfire had been lit. At least it will be warm. It was cold in the mountains at night, so fire was essential.
A white sheep can steal the light from a bonfire, but it cannot touch the heat.
“let’s go.”
The two walked carefully in the dark, holding on to the rope.
“It seems like all the demon energy in my body has melted. How did you build it up…”
“They say my feelings are different when I go into the bathroom and when I come out, but after seeing you, I can really relate to that.”
“Of course I’m not complaining. “I’m grateful to be alive.”
“I already complained.”
“That’s it…”
“That’s it. Stop chatting and just take a walk. “There was a stone beak just now, so be careful.”
Despite Goth’s warning.
The subordinate who was following behind got caught on something. I reflexively grabbed Goat’s waist.
“You idiot…”
They both leaned to the side at the same time. Without any time to react, I fell and started rolling around.
It looks like there was a slope next to it. I went downhill and went straight down.
It didn’t hurt. Because the apostle took all the pain with him.
However, I felt a little dizzy. It rolled like that for a while, then hit something and stopped.
It must be a huge tree.
Goat frowned, suppressing his voice.
“A bastard who is worse than a dog is asking me if he is coming, so he chooses to do all the most unpleasant things. Where are you? Come here. “I have to kill you.”
The subordinate felt his life was in danger. I crawled on the ground to somehow distance myself from Goat.
“I’m sorry. Please just take a look.”
I fumbled through the bushes in front.
“Come here!”
The moment the view beyond the bushes was revealed,
the subordinate froze.
Because my son-in-law was born. It was light. A being that shines brightly. A girl was gazing at the white sheep with her feet in the clear valley water.
How do you mean the light wasn’t taken away?
It was a beauty that put aside and stopped thinking.
The girl and her surroundings were like a masterpiece.
White-blonde hair that fell down to her waist fluttered in the wind. The golden eyes that absorbed the white light sparkled like stars, and the transparent skin shed a soft light.
It was not human beauty.
The subordinate looked on in fascination.
“Where is this bastard…”
The goat that followed could no longer speak.
The girl turns her head slowly. It felt like time had stopped. Finally, golden eyes stared at the two.
I slowly opened my mouth.
“It crawls like a bug in the dark.”
Her voice was calm like Iden’s, and her eyes were cold like Saya’s.
“Who are you?”
It rose from the rock and slowly approached.
“Maybe you are your father’s enemy.”
