Dark Fantasy Paladin Chapter 184
Episode 184
Euron looked at his brother’s cold body with his eyes. He killed his brother with his own hands. No matter how sinful one is, aren’t they blood relatives? I couldn’t just be calm.
One side of my chest was sore.
The paladin guarding the side opened his mouth.
“······Captain, please return to your dorm first. “It’s not long until sunrise.”
The departure was just around the corner. Euron, who was in charge of the vanguard, had to enter the battle in top condition.
Euron nodded.
“All right.”
“What should I do with the body?”
“Let’s incinerate it when the sun rises.”
The cult purifies apostates by burning them. It meant repenting in this life and going to heaven.
Of course, it was just one of the superstitions. When all intelligent beings die, unless they are great men or martyrs, they go down to the underworld and perish forever. Because the afterlife was Mabet’s divine status.
The paladin made the sign of the cross.
“Please repent and find peace.”
Euron raised his upper body. Just as he was about to take his eyes off the corpse, a look of puzzlement crossed Euron’s face.
“Just now…”
“Why are you doing that?”
The body twitched slightly. No, it seemed that way.
Euron lowered his head and looked at his brother.
I didn’t feel it coming. I even checked his pulse, but he was clearly dead.
The paladin tilted his head.
“Lord Euron…?”
Euron quietly watched the corpse and opened his mouth.
“I guess I was mistaken.”
“What do you mean?”
“It felt like it was moving.”
“It’s probably because I’m tired. Please come back quickly.”
“Let’s do that.”
The two walked like that.

Heresy Inquisition Barracks High Judge’s Office. The night fell, but Xerath could not sleep.
A thought was possessing him.
Doubts about Beatrice. Why does a saint leave a trail wherever she goes? It was difficult for Xerath, who knew her well, to understand his disciple’s actions.
Beatrice was a bright child. He was meticulous and had many clever corners. A gifted student who has never lost his top spot at Shinsung University. It was too sloppy for a guy like that to go undercover.
Eurein Kairos Dafran Dante Garison Tahela…etc. He always left a mark in his interactions with numerous people.
Why on earth? Beatrice would know the power of the Aspect better than anyone else. Even if I hid myself with my power, I couldn’t escape from the eyes of spies.
Yet he moves so complacently. It may be an advertisement under the guise of a secret operation. Xerath did not rule out such a possibility.
‘Hmm…’
If the advertisement is Beatrice’s intention, what does she want to show? Is this why he wants to declare to everyone that he only admired the sun until the end? It didn’t seem likely.
There must be another reason.
Xerath pondered the conversation he received.
She always left this message to the people she contacted.
‘If what I say is true, please agree with me.’
It was a proposal to apostatize. If we have been operating behind the scenes until now, this may mean that we will now be active openly.
Xerath tapped the table with his index finger.
It was difficult to infer what activity was meant.
What can you do in the first place? Their force was too small. The moment they were branded as non-believers, they could only face death without even being able to resist.
Unless a group suicide attempt is planned, an ‘activity’ cannot be established.
Xerath could have put them on the scaffold right now.
The reason for releasing Beatrice was simply to use this opportunity to root out apostasy.
However, there was one problem.
Things work out too easily.
That fact made Xerath worry.
The night deepened.
*
The corpses scattered around the corner of the dungeon twitched slightly. The subtle tremors grew stronger and eventually turned into shaking.
A body in convulsions. After shaking, he suddenly raised his upper body.
I opened my eyes.
The jade-colored eyes remained the same as when they were alive.
“I really…”
Yurein looked down at her chest.
“Kuhuhuh…”
A long, vertical stab wound. Blood spurted out along the sword’s path. Several ribs were broken, and internal organs were sticking out through the open gap in the belly skin.
It’s not strange even if he’s dead. No, it would have been normal if he had died instantly.
One life was at stake.
Just as the Saint of Punishment had said… Yurain’s thoughts were suddenly cut off. Because terrible pain overtook him.
There was no tolerance for this much pain.
Just as he was about to scream, someone covered his mouth. It was a hand coming from behind his back.
A voice was heard.
“Shh, be quiet.”
It was a familiar voice.
“Ugh…”
Another hand swept down Yurain’s chest and abdomen.
The pain gradually fades away. The wound was also healing.
The hand covering his mouth slipped away.
“Don’t be too loud.”
Yurain immediately looked back.
There was Beatrice.
“Saint Lady…?”
“that’s right. “You can believe me now, right?”
Yuraine looked at her body with a puzzled expression. He really didn’t die. As the saint said, he was reborn as an immortal.
“How did this happen?”
“I told you. “Now that I’m on my own scaffold, I can’t die even if I want to.”
It was true. Beatrice’s power. The Holy Virgin of Punishment never once allowed the suspect to die peacefully.
He is hung on a scaffold and tortured again and again until he gets the answer he wants. Only then could the prisoner be freed from life.
Repentance caused by screams and pain. The road she passed was always covered in blood.
The inhabitants of this world had no choice but to fear Beatrice.
Things were a little different now.
For the first time in her life, the Saint of Punishment used her power differently.
Rather, it freed those who did not believe in ‘Bacheksar’ from suffering and even healed them.
Beatrice added.
“You are a sinner. Because I served the devil Baekyang. “I will embrace sinners in the name of the merciful sun.”
Yurain, who was checking his condition, stammered.
“My faith has returned to its original state. I will serve the sun again. “Not like a white sheep.”
Because I saw a miracle right in front of my eyes.
“So I am no longer a sinner!”
Beatrice shook her head.
“no. “You are still a sinner.”
“Why…” As
a saint of punishment, Yurein must be a sinner. Otherwise, authority could not be established.
Beatrice could only tie the prisoner to the border between life and death.
Beatrice let out a cold voice.
“Didn’t you serve the wrong god not long ago? “It is a serious crime that cannot be easily washed away.”
Yurain swallowed dry saliva.
The Saint of Punishment softened her expression. He said with a gentle smile.
“But if it were you, you would be able to pay for your sins. “I will help you.”
We had already decided to come together.
Beatrice was completely aware of Yurein’s desires. An aristocrat who lost his place but still thirsts for success. There were countless ways to use it.
Yurain swallowed his resolve.
“What can I do?”
“Head to the continent right now. Go raise Nedbal’s army.”
The target was the ecliptic.
“But the plan has already been revealed.”
The war record has already been taken away.
Beatrice drew an arc.
“I got caught, but will they really stop me? “You would think it was already blocked.”
From the church’s perspective, there was no reason to care about Nedval. This is because Yurein, who would make the rebellion possible, has died. They must be so mistaken. He’s clearly alive in this place.
Yurain said.
“If the body disappears…”
“Don’t worry. “I’m going to set this place on fire.”
Yurein will disappear.
When the world forgets his name, Yurein will appear on the continent and devour the imperial capital. As the new emperor’s right-hand man, he was able to achieve the power he had longed for.
Joy flashed across Yurain’s face.
Beatrice said with a smile.
“So you don’t have to think anything and just follow what I say. Take back the ecliptic. There is no need to worry about Aiden and other miscellaneous gods.”
Since the Blessed One has disappeared, the Ascendant can no longer intervene in the real world.
“You know, right?”
Yurein was quick to remember.
“But what do you plan to do, saintess? It would be dangerous to stay here. “Rather, let’s go to the continent with me.”
Beatrice shook her head.
“no. There’s still work to do here. And it’s not dangerous at all. “I know you well, Master.”
Xerath must have released the saint on purpose. Beatrice understood the reason.
She said, taking off her red cloak.
“Now get moving.”
Then he wrapped it around Yurein’s body.
Yurain’s new model disappeared in an instant.
Invisibility artifact. The Saint of Punishment loved this cloak when exterminating barbarian villages or hunting down apostates.
Yurain’s voice was heard from somewhere.
“Then take care of yourself.”
A moment later, a fire rose from beneath the saint’s feet. A small flame spread in an instant and enveloped the prison.

The Supreme Heavenly Council of Heaven. After all the demons who had been punished returned to hell, only Saya, Aiden, and Murciella remained in the conference hall.
Saya looked at Aiden with a smile.
“It seems like things are going in a positive direction. Should we build a villa in Hell Palace?”
The demons will prepare a throne for Aiden in hell. That’s how the promise was made. Aiden will appear in hell as the demon god of hypocrisy.
Iden opened his mouth.
“It’s a villa in hell. “It won’t be bad.”
I didn’t mean it. I was just catering to Saya’s mood.
This is because Saya’s sad ending is approaching.
Eternal Watcher. Right now, there was no other solution other than that.
For some reason, Saya didn’t complain anymore. Looks like he understands. I felt sorry for Aiden.
Saya stood up from the throne and approached Aiden. Then he sat down on the left armrest of Destruction.
“Don’t worry too much. “I will be by your side for the rest of your life so you won’t be lonely.”
Iden opened his mouth.
“Someday I’ll find another way.”
“Okay, let’s find out together.”
A fishy voice intervened.
“I will help too.”
It was Murciela.
The parasite that said that bristled its tentacles.
“It will metastasize soon. “The left side of hypocrisy is moving.”
The seat of hypocrisy was the seat of power arranged by Murciela. The tentacles attached at that time were reacting. In a little while, the sixth Demon God Seat will be enshrined in the Hall of Origin.
Aiden nodded and stood up.
He lightly kissed Saya’s forehead.
“I guess I’ll see it as an incarnation.”
Saya’s true body could no longer leave Heaven.
“I see. Watch it as much as you want right now. No matter how much the world’s incarnation creates, it will not be as good as the original body.”
Aiden smiled slightly and ruffled her hair.
“Okay, see you later.”
Iden took out the magic stone from his arms.
He immediately pierced his lower abdomen and pushed the black stone into his danjeon.
The air surrounding Aiden began to sway.
It was soon crushed and then regained its original position.
Aiden and Murciela were nowhere to be found.
Saya looked at the empty Heavenly Father.
It felt a little empty.
“No.”
I shook my head to shake off my depressed mood.
Since the head of the household went out to work, the hostess would have to take care of the household. Nowadays, some women do not do that.
Saya did not want to become such a surplus force.
