Chapter 52
Dark Fantasy Paladin Chapter 52
Episode 52.
The stench of the devil came from the giant’s breath.
The red eyes burned with the spirit of a warrior and stared at Aiden as if they were going to eat him.
Aiden clenched his fists.
For a moment, I thought about killing him and slaughtering all the heretics in this facility, but that was too emotional.
If even one of them is sent alive, Kadak’s identity will be discovered before the work is completed. The possibility of returning alive is also uncertain.
I suppressed it again and again. Jude also did not react and was imitating a demon cultist following Aiden.
The giant roared in front of me as if he was annoyed.
Its messy hair touched Aiden’s face.
The moment the giant opened his mouth, numerous tattoos appeared on his face. The text glowed purple and began to control the giant.
The guy resisted fiercely. He hit his head against the outer wall of the passage and cried out in frustration.
Aiden pulled the cart back and walked away for a long time.
After some time had passed, the giant’s red eyes began to lose their vitality. Then it fell to the ground and shook the earth.
The believers crowded on the other side shouted at Aiden.
“You bastards! Why don’t you come up?!”
Jude loudly answered that he understood. Then he looked at Aiden.
“I guess it’s underground.”
Iden nodded.
However, the problem was not the location but the area.
That spacious hall, resembling an amphitheater, was filled with numerous stairs and passageways connecting them.
It was like an anthill.
In this vast space, how can we find what Kadak left behind or a way to bring down the principality?
Iden visited the mansion, believing only one root in the original story that Kadak’s legacy greatly contributed to the suppression of the principality.
But I never thought it would be connected to a place like this. If I had known in advance, I would have investigated, but it was something I couldn’t pinpoint.
The radius of the search was too wide as they didn’t even know whether they were looking for an object or a tool.
Iden looked at the huge hall. Even if you move all day, you won’t be able to get even halfway through.
Since the assassination was successful, he could return to the empire, but the feeling of not wanting to miss the opportunity still remained.
Regrets grabbed hold of Iden.
Of course, in times like this, we had to be quick in our judgment.
Just as she was thinking, Siron’s arm came out from the cart and touched Aiden’s stomach.
She pushed through the white cloth and exposed only her face.
“It’s shining. Be careful.”
I wondered what she was talking about, so I looked in the direction pointed by the tip of her index finger, and I saw a soft ray of light flowing from her chest.
The black priest’s uniform was dyed dark blue.
Elohimderk. Aiden turned his back and carefully took out the necklace. This was to prevent the demon cultists from noticing.
However, the blue glow quickly disappeared.
The hopes that had been rising had subsided somewhat, but there was always a reason for this gem to shine.
I knocked around and looked at the exterior to see if there were any hidden functions.
Nothing happened. Are there any conditions? I thought so, but I couldn’t figure it out right now.
The moment Iden swallowed his disappointment and turned toward the hall again, the necklace began to glow blue. Immediately the light beam stretched out in a straight line.
Aiden quickly blocked it with his hand and hid it in the cart.
I glanced at the believers in the distance. I was so busy moving around that I didn’t even have time to pay attention to this.
Iden felt like Elohimderk was a blessing. Because the light was clearly pointing somewhere.
The one who had been left behind came back on his own and solved Aiden’s concerns.
It may have been Kadak’s design, but it couldn’t help but be lovely. I thought that I shouldn’t dispose of any item carelessly.
Jude said, pointing to the high stairs on the other side.
“God was watching over there. Why not move ahead while the bugs are gone?”
He was right. By now, the principality would have figured out that the culprit was not a cadet.
This was because he had left too many traces of divine power at the University of Magic.
Time was not infinite. I had to move quickly.
I walked towards the hall.
*
The once noisy facility quieted down.
They were in such a hurry that they left the inside a mess and disappeared.
At first glance, shady places where confidential information could be handled were wide open without any locking down. Documents were scattered all over the hallway.
Stuffed humans and half-demons cultured in glass tubes were clearly visible through the open laboratory.
A very hateful and inhumane organization. Iden chewed his lips.
Even though the Varanches were not normal, the Demonic Cult’s emergency sense far exceeded his. It was not a group created by humans.
Those devil bastards wearing iron hats. Even if the Seeker of Destruction did not react, his inherent sense of fear made his killing intent soar.
Jude cautiously opened his mouth to Iden, whose expression was distorted.
“It looks like this.”
Before we knew it, we had arrived at the place Elohimderk was pointing to.
A rectangular frame covered with silver-gray minerals. Under the circumstances, it may have been an entrance, but it was a bit vague to be considered a door.
It was like a scattered puzzle.
Jude lightly swept the wall.
“The entrance is clear, but it is sealed with very high-level magic.”
Jude swallowed his sleep as he said that.
“Even if you tear it up and take it to the church, you won’t be able to decipher it.”
Iden, ignorant of magic, could not sympathize with his sentiments.
It must have been amazing since it was made by an archmage.
However, there was no sense of crisis. Anyone can see that it was Elohimderk’s role.
“You should be able to get in.”
Iden took a step closer and held out the necklace.
There was no reaction.
After thinking for a moment, I infused it with divine power.
At that moment, numerous messages appeared before my eyes. The gem glowed and colored the surroundings with blue light.
At the same time, the silver-grey minerals began to interlock. It made a harsh sound and threw stone debris down.
It goes into place like a puzzle.
Jude looked at the scene and let out an exclamation.
“With this formula…”
Iden couldn’t tell what surprised him. I roughly guessed that it was related to the magical level.
The noise soon quieted down, and a black space opened up on the wall.
It was so dark that I couldn’t see inside.
“Let’s go in.”
Iden entered first, pushing the cart, followed by Jude.
After taking a few steps inside, I looked down.
“You can come out now.”
Siron and Goat let out a heavy breath and rolled up the white cloth.
It seemed like he was having trouble breathing because he was lying down with the corpse.
Goat immediately revealed the inside.
An open-minded son-in-law. A black heart was beating in the center.
Other than that, the interior was empty except for an office table placed at the end.
However, the presence of the black heart was so strong that it did not even feel empty.
The seeker of destruction went wild and went crazy.
The core of the high-level demon drove Iden crazy. The facial expressions of the saints were also colored with astonishment.
The pattern burning crimson on the pitch-black surface symbolized the great evil Gu Xian.
He was a demon recorded in the Bible and one of the origins of the Demonic Sutra.
Blood vessels extending from the heart were connected to pipes and supplied demonic energy.
Therefore, this was a deep center that could control everything in the principality.
Jude swallowed his sleep and opened his mouth.
“If you destroy that…”
the principality will collapse.
In conclusion, Kadak led Aiden here. Does the Archmage want the principality to be destroyed? However, in most routes, Kadak sides with the principality. I gave it to him.
The only twist that Iden had was saving Sain and Daryl.
It was difficult to interpret that that was the reason why Kadak changed his mind.
Iden ignored the devil’s heart as much as possible and looked around.
There was a long table. . I immediately went over and grabbed a document that was lying around at random.
It was a paper detailing the process and results of human experiments. The author was Kadak. The same was true for other documents. I
looked at the reports scattered on the floor and found that they were all there. was waiting for the Archmage’s approval. This
meant that the general manager of this facility was Kadak.
What was the reason he led Iden here? Could it be that
Sein and Daryl were artificial half-demons created here, and Kadak took pity on them? Was he trying to atone for his feelings?
That was bullshit. A human who sacrificed so many people through human experiments couldn’t have had sympathy for someone in particular.
Even if he had, he would have destroyed this place himself.
Iden took all the parchments on the desk. After looking through it, I searched the drawer.
It was locked, but there was no trick, so it was possible to open it with force.
There was a bundle of documents stored inside. I immediately opened it and looked through it.
Aiden’s eyes were shaking. His expression changed countless times while he was asked to read for a while.
The saints picked up each sheet that Aiden had put down and passed them around.
Aiden could not help but laugh. It
was long-winded, but it was brief. Daryl and Sain were not Kadak’s students, but his children.
Half-demon blood quarter.
Also, this facility was a laboratory created by Kadak to cleanse the brother and sister’s black blood.
Countless samples were needed, but half-demons were not common. In the end, directly This led to the idea of creating
a terrible experiment that had been going on for several years, transforming an innocent person into a mixed race person and turning them back into a human.
Kadak wanted to give his children a human life.
With just that one thought, so many lives were trampled.
The study was not completed. Even though it was possible to turn a human into a half-demon, the reverse seemed still impossible.
However, the hero chosen by Elohimderk saved the siblings.
There is no reason for Kadak to continue doing this.
Those were the records. Also, I am reflecting. He was declaring that he would spend the rest of his life in atonement.
That’s not even funny. There was no way to apologize to those who had already been sacrificed.
Because they really died in vain. It was a death worse than that of a dog.
Aiden frowned and read the bottom half.
At that moment, the parchment burned brightly, turning into ashes and scattering.
Aiden was silent for a while. I just looked down at the table with calm eyes.
Siron slowly approached and asked Aiden.
“Why are you doing this?”
Jude and Goat were also looking at Iden with puzzled expressions.
For a moment, Iden wondered if they didn’t know about Daryl and Sain.
But that couldn’t have been the case. This is because a report was posted to the church that the siblings were pardoned.
Now that I think about it, I can’t see a single piece of the documents that were scattered all over the place.
Iden asked the saints with a puzzled expression.
“What did you see here?”
The three of them couldn’t understand Aiden’s question and looked at each other carefully.
Jude opened his mouth.
“I saw that black heart. It’s still alive and well. “I think we should destroy it quickly.”
Iden let out a helpless laugh.
It seemed like this bastard, Kadak, had been using tricks until the very end to protect his children.
If the truth is revealed, the church will not spare the siblings, whether they are human or not.
Iden was finally able to understand why this incident was not handled properly in the original work.
Because I erased all my memories.
Aiden chewed his lips and slowly walked towards the black heart.
