Chapter 148
Dark Fantasy Paladin Chapter 148
Episode 148
A silent darkness fell over the mountains. The moonlight also fell, but the forest was still buried in shadow.
This is because the densely packed giant trees did not allow even a single ray of moonlight.
It was like that usually. Today was a little different.
Pale moonlight was sliding through each broken branch and reaching the floor. Strand by strand.
The twigs were constantly breaking. The black figure that passed by like a darting sight made me do that.
It was a huge wolf.
It was so fast that the creatures in the mountains could not follow it with their eyes. I could barely see the long, continuous eye light.
Fenrir, who was running, munched on something and swallowed it.
Euron, who was riding on his back, shouted.
“Your Majesty, it is not time to eat!”
Fenrir spat out the tiger’s skin.
“It’s tough.”
“Please increase your speed!”
The huge head looked briefly at its back.
“Do you think they’ll be able to hold out?”
Thirty humans tied to their backs. They were barely able to keep their sanity. It was so fast.
Euron chewed his lips. I was dying of impatience, but I had a lot of luggage.
“Why not throw it away now?”
That couldn’t be possible.
“······It’s not possible.”
“Then don’t talk too much and hold on tight. “It smells familiar.”
Immediately after, Fenrir leapt into the sky.
The view was wide open. A forest encroaching on the horizon under a full moon. Heilang, which overlapped with the moon, captured the magnificent view at a glance.
From now on, there was no need for a trace.
Because it smelled like prey. Fenrir’s eyes moved to the distance ahead. pinned to the cliff.
“You’re breathing.”
“Are you talking about Lord Siron?”
“You’ll see.”
Fenrir continued to leap, stepping on the top of the giant tree. I was swimming through the night and heading straight to my destination.
Before long, Euron could see the cliff.
A large cross stood tall at the edge of the cliff.
Fenrir narrowed his eyes.
“······Strange?”
Someone was clearly tied up. Although he had a black bandage wrapped around his face and was even gagged, the wolf easily identified him.
This is the theory of the disposition of the Holy Wisdom.
What was strange was that it was so blatant. It felt like a trap to lure me into coming and rescuing him.
Siron, who went missing two years ago, appears in that state? Fenrir couldn’t shake off the feeling of discomfort.
First, I landed on a raised rock.
It was a distance of about 100m.
Fenrir opened his mouth.
“Isn’t it strange, baby?”
There was no answer back. Fenrir turned his head and looked at him.
Euron’s eyes were a little strange. It had turned pale, like a person who had lost his mind.
Euron’s expression suddenly became one of astonishment.
“······Your Holiness?”
“Why are you suddenly looking for Taekwang?”
Feeling puzzled, Fenrir moved his eyes to follow Euron’s gaze.
I was looking at the theory. Upon closer inspection, I noticed that the black bandage covering her face had been slightly torn off.
A small amount of red light leaked through the gap.
The wolf frowned. It is a phantom eye. The power of Shiron that absorbed ‘Gusian’. It didn’t work on Fenrir, who was completely immune to the mental world, but Euron was different.
I was hallucinating.
Siron began to convulse like crazy. It wasn’t a big move since he was restrained, but he was clearly desperate.
It felt like my whole body was screaming not to come this way.
Immediately after, Euron moved.
It crossed the night sky like a ghost. Wolyeongbobeop improvement ceremony. It was a secret technique that combined the techniques of the swordsman Cain with the walking techniques of the sword master Gielan.
If Gielan walked through the air like a staircase, Euron slipped as if he was falling.
Fenrir instantly stretched out his front paw, but narrowly missed it.
“You little one!”
The wolf also jumped up. It must be stopped. The moment we caught up, Euron was already on the cross.
Fenrir also landed on the opposite rung.
At the same time, Euron’s vision shattered.
Aiden, who had been crucified and tortured, was nowhere to be found. Only the theory was tied together.
“What…”
“Come to your senses!”
Fenrir looked everywhere. Something is going to attack me. Or a trap might be triggered.
Whatever it was, I was caught in a trap.
Siron, who was gagged, also sobbed and struggled, but nothing happened yet.
Euron also felt something was wrong.
A long, quiet and anxious time had passed.
Fenrir activated his hunter’s sixth sense and scanned the surrounding area. It was just a peaceful forest.
Euron slowly opened his mouth.
“We need to release Lord Siron first.”
“wait.”
The moment you lift the restraint, a trap may be triggered.
“My hallucinations have already cleared up. Even if something had happened, it would have already happened.”
Fenrir looked around a little more and said.
“Just remove the gag first.”
“All right.”
Euron approached Siron and cut off the gag.
she cried.
“It’s over… because of me. God please. “Please give me a miracle just once, just once… God, please.”
He was sobbing in despair.
The voice was so desperate that Euron and Fenrir were embarrassed.
Euron asked cautiously.
“Sir Siron. “What on earth is going on?”
“We will be annihilated. They’re all going to die. The entire landing force was sacrificed… Your Holiness was turned into a devil… Please, please, do not forgive this pathetic sheep. Please send me to hell.”
Offering? devil? I couldn’t understand anything.
“I have come to rescue Sir Siron. “Everything goes well…”
Before he could finish his sentence, an unpleasant voice interrupted.
“Is it a failure?”
Shiron’s mouth opened from his cheek. The bandage had been torn and it was sticking out.
It was Gusian.
Euron shouted loudly.
“What have you done again, you dirty devil!”
“Whoa whoa. Calm down. “Because it has absolutely nothing to do with me.”
Siron, who was sobbing, opened his mouth.
“······What did you just say?”
“You said it was a failure. Murciella, it looks like that idiot drew the magic spell wrong. haha! “He pretended to be so proud, but then made a big deal out of it.”
Siron stammered.
“Then Benbeckman…”
“The ritual hasn’t even started.”
Siron’s mouth trembled. The bandage began to soak with tears. The breath I exhaled was filled with relief that would never be seen again.
Euron and Fenrir couldn’t even keep up with the situation.
Euron opened his mouth.
“Sir Siron. What is all this about? Please explain. No, before that.”
Euron swung his sword. When all restraints broke, Siron fell.
Fenrir accepted it and lowered her to the ground.
Siron knelt down and made the sign of the cross.
He began to recite a prayer in an earnest voice.
Euron, who watched the scene for a moment, said.
“Now tell me. “I’ll listen here.”
Siron’s eyes slowly moved to look at Euron.
She opened her mouth.
“······Have you received my letter?”
“I received the note that washed up with the bodies of the saints.”
“okay. So Sir Euron must be here.”
“I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
Siron took a deep breath.
“It was a message sent by deception.”
“Who are you fooling?”
“Kadak and Murciela. “The two of them encouraged me to send such a message to the continent.”
Euron’s expression was colored with puzzlement.
“What is that…”
“Didn’t the Continental Army land at Benbeck Bay?”
“you’re right. “The occupation has already been completed.”
Siron nodded.
“I guess so. But it must have been a little surprising. “Why did Your Holiness choose Ben Beck Bay as the first restoration site?”
Not everyone knew why.
The dragon god Belphegis also asked Aiden several times why. I didn’t hear an answer.
“This place is far away and not a strategic location.”
Even on the Shaylan sail, it took three days.
In the past, when Iden went to the Demon World to stop Gu Xian’s heart consecration ceremony, he apparently arrived by swimming.
There were places that were that close. But you chose a place this far away.
Euron opened his mouth.
“I thought it would have meaning, as always.”
“It’s because of me.”
Siron’s expression sank bitterly.
“You must have chosen this place after looking at my records. ‘Don’t trust Kadak.’ “It is something His Holiness can never overlook.”
It was accurate. The reason why Iden sent Siron to the Demon World first. It was to contact Kadak.
But don’t trust Kadak? He was a wizard who should not be turned into an enemy. He also brought with him the 8th great sage, Yu Ji-tae, Zerna.
For Aiden, it had to be resolved more urgently than anything else. What if Kadak really changed his mind? If the secrets of the heavenly army are realized through Jerna, the plot will fall into the mud.
Because the Archmage was a really picky being.
Euron opened his mouth.
“Is Kadak’s activity radius only Ben Beckman?”
So Siron must have been here, and the Continental Army must have landed at Benbeck Bay.
Siron shook his head.
“It’s a little deeper.”
“Then…”
“Because we can only march there if we occupy Benbeck Bay first.”
Holy city Bayjorn. Iden chose Ben Beckman as the shortest route to investigate the place.
Bayorn was Siron’s dispatch site and Kadak’s range of activity.
“Then why are you here, Siron?”
“I overheard a conversation in Bayern. They said they would turn His Holiness into a devil. “It was Kadak and some kind of demon.”
Immediately afterwards, Siron left Bayern. This fact had to be reported quickly.
The nearest coast was Baiken.
He was discovered while heading straight to this place to write a war report. To Kadak and Murciela.
Everything was their intention.
Even the fact that Siron overheard was just Murciela’s plan.
Siron was robbed of the war record.
All the circumstances were recorded in detail, but ‘don’t trust Kadak.’ The contents after that were torn apart by Kadak’s hands.
Poetry’s handwriting. Handwriting appraisal can be avoided and there will be no traces of manipulation.
Because she actually wrote it. As Murciela had intended, Iden completely believed the note.
In the end, we had to send troops here. In order to bring troops to Bayjorn immediately after the recapture of Benbeckmann.
Siron told him that story, but Euron still looked like he didn’t know.
“······But in the end, we succeeded in recapturing Baiken. I don’t know why Lord Siron is sad. If you feel guilty about landing somewhere far away, don’t be too upset. “It worked out well, so it’s okay.”
Siron shook his head.
“It’s not like that. Kadak and Murciela also expected the landing force to retake Baiken.”
She took a deep breath.
“The reason I am a sinner is because I almost sacrificed everyone who landed on Baiken.”
“It’s hard to tell.”
“A magic core that will turn His Holiness into a demon. “Everyone here was a sacrifice for that artifact.”
Euron said.
“This is my first time hearing it. “It’s a magic core.”
“It was produced by Kadak. “A demon named Murciella has even prepared a new demon seat.”
So that Iden can have the throne the moment he absorbs the magic core.
“What kind of sacrifice…”
“You followed the trail, right?”
Euron nodded.
“That too is a trap. “As soon as the investigation team traces the trail and steps on this place, the spell will be activated.”
As Fenrir expected, this was a trap.
The fact that someone dealing with divinity visited this place meant that the Continental Army occupied Baiken and began an investigation.
Many intelligent beings must be gathered in Baiken.
Then the ritual begins. It was going to devour everyone in Baiken and spit out a single magic core.
Euron opened his mouth.
“Bah but nothing happened.”
Gu Xian chuckled.
“Murciella, that idiot drew the magic wrong? A natural flutter. “We will not be able to avoid responsibility this time.”
Siron seemed skeptical of that opinion.
“Gusian Murciela is not stupid like you. “There’s no way you could make that mistake.”
A look of doubt flashed across Euron’s face as he spoke in a defense-like tone.
Just as he was about to open his mouth, Fenrir let out a cold voice.
“······That’s strange. “How can you know so specifically?”
Siron looked at the wolf. He stared quietly and then suddenly grinned.
The change in expression was strange.
A tentacle protruded from her mouth.
An unfamiliar voice leaked out.
“Somehow things were going well, but something went wrong. Taekwang has already taken the Demon God’s throne. There is no longer a need to consecrate Ben Beckman.”
The moment Fenrir stretched out his arm, a cloud of pale light rained down from the sky.
The wolf retreated and evaded. Quad deuk! Icicles emitting bitter cold air were stuck in the ground.
A hunchbacked old man was floating in the sky. He slowly opened his mouth.
“Taekwang is in Baiken.”
The tentacle fully popped out and looked at Euron and Fenrir.
“Would you like to go with me?”
