Dark Fantasy Paladin Chapter 98
Episode 98
Aiden cupped his protruding lips with one hand. This was to prevent him from opening his mouth.
Then I looked back at the group. Euron Daryl Thane Gielan. When everyone covered their ears, Iden finally relaxed his grip.
Gu Xian chuckled and then spoke in a trembling voice.
“How did you know about the dedication ceremony?”
It was simple. Because I experienced the original work.
A route that starts with the Demon Cult, not the Cult in the work. When choosing a priest of darkness, Petersarkin’s consecration ceremony is also covered.
I haven’t experienced it myself, but the information was pretty solid.
Immediately afterwards, Iden clenched his fist tightly. Then he hit the guy’s mouth. Quad deuk! My teeth were shattered and my lips were crushed. A painful groan came out.
Iden said in a threatening voice.
“I’m the only one asking questions, you idiot.”
Aside from the seeker of destruction, Gu Xian itself was disgusting. In the four years I’ve been living in this world, this is the first time I’ve ever encountered a demon that bothered me so much.
It was different from the enemies that had been slaughtered so far. Gu Xian always left with an unpleasant aftertaste and regret.
Same thing this time too. This cunning devil left a heart in the center of the Demon Realm. In short, even if Aiden bursts all seven hearts on this spot, Gu Xian will not die.
Only the soul will remain and wander on the continent. Of course, he couldn’t go back to the demon world. Because there was a wall blocking it.
Even though I was almost disabled, I was still irritated.
The guy’s face started to regenerate again. Aiden did not wait and hit his heart on the stone. I just kept pushing it and grinding it.
Black blood and flesh splattered everywhere.
Puk puk puk puk puk. After taking dozens more shots, Iden stopped. He said in a low voice.
“From now on your life will be hell.”
Yeah, it worked out better. If all of its hearts had been gathered here, Iden might not have been able to bear it and killed him. Actually, it was a waste to do that. This is because there were quite a few uses for Gusian.
It would actually be beneficial to not be able to kill him.
First, I planned to dig up information.
“Why did you come over?”
He came to the continent by offering his heart. Aiden couldn’t understand at all. Gu Xian was a demon who valued his own life the most.
The guy snorted.
“Will this body open its mouth?”
Iden immediately released his divinity. Cheeeeeek! The distant purity burned the piece of meat.
Gu Xian giggled even as he screamed. The harmony created a very strange feeling.
The guy burst into laughter and said.
“How arrogant you are! What a source of despair! “Did you think there was something to be gained by torturing this body!”
It wasn’t wrong. This kind of method will never work on Gu Xian. Actually, Iden knew it well. Violence was only used out of anger.
He immediately withdrew his divinity and drew a cruel smile. Because I thought of a better way.
“You are right. “I was short-thinking.”
“Let’s stop doing nonsense and live with this body for 100 years.” “I don’t think the continent would be that bad.”
The guy laughed sinisterly.
Iden nodded.
“Of course. “I invite you to my castle.”
It was a hell that would bring extreme suffering to Gu Xian.
Aiden placed Gusian’s heart back in the box. A total of 7, including the ones held by Gielan and Daryl. I checked it several times and closed the chest.
Just as he was about to board Yupe, Saya and Yuriel, who had just arrived, approached Aiden.
Saya opened her mouth. Unlike usual, he didn’t smile brightly.
“Where is Aiden going?”
“I plan to stop by the sanctuary for a while.”
An artificial island that was once a principality. It is now designated as Walenstalga Sanctuary.
Saya nodded and said.
“When do you want to see Elquidora? “For now, I’ve made an appointment.”
“It only takes a moment to get to the sanctuary. “Let’s meet today.”
“Okay, I understand.”
Iden found her answer a little dry. I felt like I had a general idea of the reason, so I thought I should release it later.
Aiden opened his mouth while looking at the people gathered here.
“All of you, please come to the sanctuary.”
When you pass through the Giant’s Forest, you will come across a barren land that was once called the Land of Screams.
Beyond that was an artificial island. Aiden looked at Saya again.
“Please take care of Uriel. Let’s go to the sanctuary together.”
Uriel was needed to open Gu Xian’s mouth. However, I couldn’t take Yupe on board. This is because the divine beast carries only its master on its back.
If you walk with the rest, it will be too late. It took a full day to walk from here to the sanctuary.
For Aiden, it would be perfect if Saya could take Uriel to her. The relationship between the two didn’t seem to be very good, but they had clearly flown together a while ago.
Saya frowned slightly. Iden spoke again.
“Please. Is it possible?”
After a while, Saya sighed softly and wrapped her tail around Yuriel.
It was easier than I thought to accept it. Iden wondered if his lover’s personality had become a little more docile.
He immediately spoke to the Sword Saint.
“Gielan, you too, come as quickly as possible. “You take care of Siron.”
Swordsmanship was also needed. With his walking method, we should be able to get there within a few hours.
Lastly, he pointed to the descendants of the old empire brought from the Demonic Jing. Approximately 50 people. As a side note, because all of them were fed scales, Jonah’s fish-human transformation looked somewhat sad.
Iden continued to give instructions.
“You guys escort them and bring them back. “Be as careful as possible.”
Euron, Daryl Sein, and Jonah answered that they understood.
Aiden roughly summarized the situation and climbed on Yupe’s back.
He looked at Saya and said.
“Let’s go.”
Immediately after, Yupe spread its huge wings. A strong wind struck the ground along with the gentle flapping of wings. It rose slowly and then flew up in an instant.
Iden looked down at the ground from a high altitude in the vast expanse. A dense forest stretched all the way to the horizon. It was a superb view, but a little distant.
The sanctuary was located at the end of the continent beyond the sea.
It was quite far, but it took less than an hour.
*
It has been nearly two years since the fall of the principality. The brilliant civilization also sank, but distant technological capabilities still remained throughout the artificial islands.
Many wizards and architects worked day and night to build sanctuaries based on him.
It hasn’t been completed yet. However, the assortment seemed to be in good shape.
Iden looked down at his sanctuary from the sky and let out pure admiration.
It was completely destroyed, but most of it was restored. Of course, the floating boat or floating island did not work. They were objects powered entirely by the power of the devil.
The rest was plausible.
Aiden looked at it for a moment and then immediately drove the Heavenly Horse. It descended in an instant and landed in the middle of the sanctuary.
A huge square where Aiden’s statue is located. Residents surrounded the large lake located in the center.
The lake was a symbol of a sanctuary created by the collision between a floating island and the ground.
The day Iden dropped the Gongwangseong. The common people of the principality who were crying were liberated from despair.
Since the majority of the residents here are low-income people, the significance of the lake was very great.
It was named Shinbeol (神罰), and the day it was created was designated as Liberation Day. Additionally, that day was designated as a holiday of sanctuary.
As now, many people prayed while looking at the lake. Coincidentally, the day Iden visited was a holiday at the sanctuary.
People’s eyes all moved towards Aiden, who was sitting on the ground.
One by one, they began to bow to the floor, and eventually everyone fell to their knees and cried out to their God.
Aiden’s divine power began to rise steeply. There seemed to be no ceiling for growth. Ranks are no longer displayed.
Aiden passed them with a calm face and headed toward the lake.
I jumped to the top of the floating island that was alone in the middle of the water.
Saya and Yuriel also followed.
The scenery of the sanctuary came into view at a glance.
Iden opened the box there. He said after taking out all of Gu Xian’s heart.
“It must be a new feeling.”
This place was once a farm of despair. The moment he opened his mouth, Yuriel wrapped a barrier around each of his hearts.
The purpose was to prevent hallucinations from causing hallucinations to the residents.
Gu Xian said, looking down at the people.
“······What kind of bullshit are you talking about?”
Iden knew how to torture a guy. I spoke slowly to my heart that was trembling little by little.
“They are happy.”
The hearts slowly began to beat. The source of despair could never bear human happiness.
The reason for its existence was to trample, destroy, and exploit people.
Iden continued.
“These are people who have suffered greater misfortune than anyone else. That’s why they know very well how happy they are right now.”
Immediately after, the heart started pounding all at once and had a seizure.
Gu Xian tried to escape in his spirit body, but was blocked by the barrier and was doubly captured by Saya’s energy.
The devil let out a roar.
Keeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Iden placed the hearts one by one on the skewers he brought and fixed them.
Then he nailed all seven to the top of the floating island. So that you can see happiness at a glance.
Gu Xian screamed like a scream.
“Release it! “I mean grass!”
An eye protruded from the heart in the center. However, I couldn’t use genjutsu.
Squeeze! It collided with the barrier and spread the smell of burnt coal.
A hateful gaze looked directly at Iden.
“This body is the thirtieth destruction of the Apocalypse. It is the source of despair and a member of chaos. “I will definitely transport you to the Gyuhwan Realm!”
Iden frowned.
“Shut up. I am a God.”
While saying that, he jumped down to the ground. The man’s shout echoed loudly.
The Great Devil’s scream filled people with fear, but it only lasted for a moment.
Iden exploded with a halo and embraced the residents. Then he spoke slowly.
“I want you guys to be happy. Don’t be afraid and smile like you do now. Rejoice! “I will always be by your side.”
A brilliant radiance spread throughout the sanctuary. Its divinity was so high and noble that it instantly burned down the threat of the great devil.
People began to cry loudly to their God. Everyone knelt down and prayed.
The wizards and architects who were working couldn’t take their eyes off Iden.
Yuriel made the sign of the cross and blessed God and believers.
Aiden raised his head and looked at Gu Xian. The guy was screaming like crazy, gasping for air.
Just then, Gielan arrived and stood in front of Aiden.
Iden said, looking at him.
“Just in case, keep an eye on Gu Xian.”
Yuriel handed over the fangs to him.
Aiden gestured to Saya.
“let’s go.”
When you return from meeting Elquidora, Gusian will most likely tell you nonsense.
Even if I could hold out a little longer, it would only be enough to tie me up for a few days.
Aiden boarded the Yupe and flew into the sky.
