Dark Fantasy Paladin Chapter 186
Episode 186
A ray of dawn seeped into the snowy field. The shrine, which had been immersed in darkness, was becoming brighter.
The day of decisive battle has arrived.
“Get up! “It’s a miracle!”
The sound of the trumpet echoed throughout the holy land of Berserk. One by one, the sleeping troops woke up and started their daily routine.
was preparing for battle. It was now familiar as everyday life, but today everyone looked nervous.
This is because the fight scheduled for today was quite different from usual. A battle that will put an end to eternal war. The importance and scale varied greatly.
Everyone couldn’t help but be nervous. I forgot about it last night out of anticipation and excitement, but as the day arrived, the burden I had forgotten crept up.
“Move—!”
“Relax!”
“Do you want to freeze to death?!”
Commanders ran around the barracks, shouting. Tension blunts the knife, so it was necessary to find stability.
“Do it as usual—!”
“God is with you!”
A loud shout echoed throughout the barracks.
The entire army left the sacred site and began to gather in the snowy field.
Beatrice was still guarding the chapel. Last night, I couldn’t sleep because I was wandering around here and there. There was income. Yurein was safely sent to the continent.
As soon as he sets foot on the south, Nedbal’s army will move north to the ecliptic.
Beatrice knelt down and made the sign of the cross.
“Saint Bacheksar. Let us judge the unbelievers forever.”
Then he added:
“Please give me the strength to make this possible.”
I gently opened my eyes. These days, the sun’s answers to prayers have become more frequent. It was still the same now. An intangible air current was stirring before my eyes.
Beatrice slowly raised her arms. I touched the waves with trembling hands.
At the same time, despair flashed across her face.
“Are you still putting me to the test?”
The saint’s voice was earnest, like a sinner pleading.
“Please stop seeing this horrible sight now.”
The divinity bestowed by the sun was stained black. It was like a contemptible Magi.
The saint’s eyes were red and she waved her hands wildly. Nevertheless, divinity did not return to whiteness. It was still an ominous color.
“Please, please…”
She cried out as if she was screaming, and suddenly her eyes widened.
Yes, it’s all an ordeal. You will have to overcome it. If I collapsed, I would be no different from an unbeliever.
Beatrice put her hand into her bosom.
I pulled out a sharp awl.
I kissed the sun pattern that decorated the handle.
“Saint Bacheksar. “Save the lamb from his agony.”
Then he raised his arms.
The saintess’s expression trembled.
“one!”
I shouted and dropped my arms with all my might. A sharp blade dug into my thigh. The hem of my skirt started to get wet. It wasn’t stained red. Because her dress was originally blood-red.
“two!”
I hit it again. A terrifying pain spread through my thighs and throughout my body. Goosebumps spread all over me.
“three!”
I didn’t quit. Little by little, the gap between self-harm was narrowed.
“four! five! six! Seven…”
He stabbed his thigh like crazy.
Streams of blood were sticking out through the fabric of the skirt.
Her pretty face was stained with blood and tears.
“······forty!”
Only then did it stop for a moment. I slowly raised my head. He stared straight ahead with a nervous expression.
The divinity was still not pure.
Suddenly a thought occurred to me.
Would you rather have no eyes? Wouldn’t that be better? When her eyesight was taken away by Saya, Beatrice did not know that the divinity was black.
She slowly pulled the awl out of her thigh. I started shaking and bringing it to my eyes.
Let’s start again from the beginning. It is still difficult to endure the ordeal, so we will have to take steps. First of all, we must first eliminate the elements that hinder faith.
I swallowed my resolve. The moment I was about to poke my eyes out, I heard a voice.
ㅡ Child, don’t avoid it. Just face it.
The blade suddenly stopped in front of the pupil.
“Apostle of the Tae Sun…”
– Yes, I am looking at you. Stop beating yourself up.
Beatrice tightened her grip.
“But it’s so hard. “I can’t handle it…”
– No. You can overcome it. Are you not an unbeliever? They were shaken by the illusion of a white sheep, but your faith was always strong.
Beatrice has never once abandoned the sun since joining the church. When everyone praised the white sheep, she alone cried out for the sun.
– It’s still the same now. Just as the white sheep is a test of the sun, the illusion before your eyes is only a test of the sun.
When you pray, Magi answers. The power he had had already deteriorated. Although it was an ability in a similar context, it was slightly reversed.
-So don’t lose your beautiful eyes. You have a lot of work to do.
Beatrice sobbed. I felt like I was left alone in the world.
ㅡ When you feel anxious, think back to the day when your faith germinated. Didn’t you tell me? The moment I got out of the mud.
When she was trapped in the dark due to Saya’s prohibition, the saintess, who had no one to rely on, relied heavily on the voice in her ear.
We had several conversations. Among them, there was also an anecdote from twenty years ago.
A woman whose body and mind were polluted by the devil. Everyone ignored her, but Taeyang was different.
It gave me warmth for the first time.
The divinity warmed my cold body. Beatrice has not yet forgotten that moment.
Even though he was hanging on Xerath’s scaffold, there was no fear. The conversation with Hwama was also vivid in my memory.
‘The sun shined on the mud. You are the one who made the flowers bloom. You have been chosen.’
‘If it is a choice…’
‘It is the woman of God. Have you ever heard of a saint?’
‘A saint. My body has become as defiled as it can be. ‘How can I serve God with a body like this?’
At that time, Hwama smiled and shook her head.
‘Don’t be mistaken. The purity that God desires is not the body. The body is just a shell. A clean soul is the only qualification. Self-control is recognized.’
Every word was salvation. It would be an undeserved favor for a girl who sold her body for a single potato. I couldn’t think of any way to repay it. It was just a promise.
I will live for God. Until the day I die.
Beatrice could never let the sun go down.
She made the sign of the cross with tears in her eyes.
“I was in trouble again. “Please forgive me for the shortfall.”
ㅡ The sun is solemn, but at the same time, benevolent. Just as he is causing suffering to you now, he will personally wipe away your blood in the future.
Beatrice took out the seal and looked at it. The sun pattern was engraved on it. Although all of her followers had lost the emblem of Bacheksar, the red sun still burned on her seal.
That’s how it looked in the saint’s eyes.
There must be proof here that the sun is alive and well.
She hugged the seal tightly.
“I will adore you with my soul and body.”
The voice in my ear faded, leaving behind a bitter laugh.

Snow Country, as the word suggests, is a land of snow, so no matter where you look, there is only snow.
Today was different.
Under the freezing blue sky, black dots were encroaching on the horizon. When the north wind blew, the embroidered dots swayed like waves. It was a flag waving in the wind.
The period of the Bachekssar Empire, the White Sheep of the Varanze Church, the Marquis of Sacilli, the Count of Calpendor, etc. The victory flag that was planted throughout the Demonic World now surrounds hell. The source of all evil was surrounded.
Euron climbed onto the hill and looked down.
I saw the entrance to hell. Because we completed a preliminary survey, we were able to clearly pinpoint the location.
Daryl, who was next to me, clicked his tongue with an expression of disgust.
“I’m thinking I’m going to severely punish you. “How many layers of magic are there?”
Boeumgwan and sacred priests were drawing sacred formations throughout the snow country, starting from the entrance. The siege was destroyed. Demons will oxidize as soon as they escape Hell. The scattered debris will turn the white snow black.
Daryl looked up at the sky and chanted.
“Should I at least prepare an umbrella?”
Euron swallowed a groan as if he was a little anxious.
“It might not be enough.”
Daryl tilted his head.
“Eh? “At that level, I think the root would be torn apart in an instant.”
“If it were an ordinary source, it might be so. But this is hell. There will also be a large number of single-digit apocalypses residing in the apocalypse.”
Euron experienced true decanteria. An overwhelming monster. Even if we met again, I wasn’t confident that I would win. Although we have grown significantly since then, the skill gap has not narrowed.
But in that hell, there exists a devil equal to the true ancestor. Of course, there will be more predators living there. Can they be eradicated with human techniques? It would be impossible. Euron was sure.
Daryl nodded and pointed somewhere.
“Well, those strong guys will be busy. Still, look over there.”
Paladin was leading the operation at the vanguard.
“Is there any creature stronger than that old man?”
Paladins were the strongest mortals in name and reality.
“You call yourself the wolf who swallowed the moon.”
Fenrir’s strength was at a level that could only be counted on earth. Any source would be slaughtered in an instant.
Daryl patted Euron on the back.
“Lastly, the white sheep hero. You’re just standing there holding on. “We have no choice but to win.”
Daryl, who said that, burst into laughter. He had the power to relieve tension.
Euron followed suit and smiled slightly.
“Serengal’s demon hunter Daryl is also with us.”
“Yeah man. Speaking with this body…”
Before he could finish his sentence, the sound of a horn rang out across the front line.
“Month! Months!”
Soon the gates of hell will open.
The entire army began to move busily. The formation was in place.
Euron placed his hand on the hilt of the sword.
“Let’s live and see.”
Daryl grinned.
“of course.”
*
Hell Palace Hall of Origin. The throne of Wiseon was placed on the central altar.
All sources came down from their thrones and stepped on the floor. He was kneeling on one knee. Waiting for a new demon.
The Demon Dragon Drenia said while looking around.
“Let me check one last time. “Are you fully aware of the Code of Conduct?”
Answers came from everywhere. I was saying I understood. Most of them were intelligent people who had lived for a long time, so their brains were quite sharp.
Cromwell and Papiman Diablo also slowly knelt down.
The demon dragon who was watching this narrowed his eyebrows.
“What are you doing?”
Cromwell looked at Draenia.
“what?”
“Why are you worshiping me?”
All three of us drank at the same time. I naturally bowed down. It may be because of the memories from heaven. That humiliation engraved the hierarchy of superiors and subordinates into the demons’ brains.
Cromwell cleared his throat and stood up.
The demon dragon sighed and said.
“All demon gods are equal. “Don’t humble yourself.”
“It’s a mistake. “Stop talking and bring me in.”
The demon dragon chewed his lips and extended his palm to the throne. Condensed demon energy began to surround the throne of hypocrisy.
My son-in-law fainted. When it returned to normal, the empty throne was filled.
The demon god of hypocrisy was in place.
He let out a calm voice.
“Don’t do anything.”
The demon dragon bowed his head.
“I see the hypocrisy of the beginning. But what…”
Aiden raised his upper body.
“I told them to stop whatever they had prepared. “It has no meaning.”
Aiden didn’t want to waste time.
