Paladin in Dark Fantasy

Episode 11 .

Demon hunter Daryl brushed the lower part of his coat with both hands.

The upper body covered by the coat was exposed. His bosom full of hideous weapons.

With swords, whips, arrowheads, daggers, vials, chains… and so on, it looked like a walking arsenal.

Daryl drew two daggers from his leather belt. Holding it in reverse, he crossed it toward Aiden’s head.

‘fast.’

It was an effortless movement, but it did not touch Aiden’s skin.

A strand of hair snapped in the air.

Iden immediately grabbed Daryl’s left arm and pushed him forward. overturn. Daryl’s face was smiling as he fell in front of Iden.

Shuwook! The dagger he had missed was aiming at Iden at will.

‘chain?’

A type of ability that a specific tribe possesses. It was similar to Aura or Divine Power, but it had a completely different origin.

The power of the user to manipulate the trajectory by linking his qi to an object. Iden was also a very rare trait that I saw for the first time after being possessed.

Iden tossed Daryl to the floor, then snatched a dagger flying towards his stomach.

Cistina exclaimed. Because she was also a knight, she was well aware of how advanced Aiden’s movements were.

His pure physical abilities, including his quickness and reflexes, far exceeded that of a criminal.

Daryl also realized that Iden was taking care of him with just one attack.

Had he filled it with all his might, his internal organs would have burst.

A dagger lodged between Daryl’s groin. It was originally a blade that was his weapon.

He lay on the floor and raised his hands.

“surrender.”

Aiden frowned.

“I honestly admit it. End of sequencing. Is this why I never believe rumors? It’s bullsh*t to say that a man like this fought to the death with a Dark Warrior. If you ripped it with your bare hands, you won’t know again.”

Iden felt that each of Daryl’s gestures was a little exaggerated.

Plus, I was convinced that he was hiding his skills.

It felt a little bit draining.

“Is it over?”

“Did you tell me? It’s called surrender.”

He stood up, brushing off the dust from his clothes.

“I formally greet you. My name is Daryl, a demon hunter from Sardonis. He does what he receives and does nothing more. And a man who is stronger than me is a man with fundamentals who knows how to respect.”

“I am the Holy Knight Iden. I assumed the position of temporary commander of the special task force.”

Daryl shook hands. Then, alas, I picked it up again.

“Ah, did you say that this is against the rules? Please understand that I am lacking in learning. A thousand things dared to hold the hand of an aristocrat. God please look over.”

He bent his back at a right angle and glanced up at Iden.

“how. Would this be at eye level?”

“I am not an aristocrat. Stop doing nonsense and sit here.”

The paladin was neither an aristocrat nor a commoner. separate identity. They were not bound by lineage, as sometimes the royal family had to be judged.

“hahahaha, what. if so Sneak, try hitting it once.”

Daryl held out his hand again. Aiden felt his hands somehow unclean. I can’t explain it well, but it was definitely an intrinsic rejection that I felt somewhere. It was never a seonmin consciousness.

Aiden didn’t hold his hand.

Daryl smirked and leaned back on the sofa. Priest Barel and knight Sistina also sat around and faced each other.

“Is this all there is?”

Demon Hunter, Knight, Priest, Paladin. It seemed to be standard, but it seemed to lack something.

“The number of people who will be put into this operation is all the crew members in this room. The investigation team headed to the headquarters, and the rest of the combatants were called in separately by the Archbishop.”

Sistina recited the situation clearly. She was small, but lean and had well-developed utilitarian muscles.

“Since he is a knight, he will use an aura. How far can you handle it?”

“It is not enough, but it can be circulated in the body. But Sir Aiden, please take it easy. He is my boss now.”

Aiden nodded.

“Hey, female knight. Isn’t the temperature difference too big? Almost like, I didn’t even treat myself like a person.”

Iden slapped Daryl on the cheek with a grave expression. He tumbled over the side of the sofa.

“You said you didn’t learn manners, so I’ll let you know. Don’t detract from the mood during the meeting. Normally, I would accept a joke.”

Iden said that, but in fact, he was very embarrassed even after he did it himself. Because I was strangely sensitive.

Daryl climbed up onto the sofa, clutching his flushed cheeks.

“Oh no, I even got a teacher in charge in the middle of the night. Please guide me on the right path.”

Iden found Daryl very peculiar. In other words, he would be sad even if his parents slapped him on the cheek, but he seemed really okay.

“Continue. His name is Vandel.”

“Yes, I am a priest in the Western Parish Office.”

Vandel looked quite old. middle-aged male. It was a bald head with no hair at all.

“Excuse me, may I ask how far you can read the scriptures?”

“of course. We can interpret Shinwijeon and the Maya Gospel without difficulty.”

He was a highly accomplished priest. At least, it didn’t look like his task force was going to be seduced by demons.

Aiden nodded. Daryl spoke quickly as his turn approached.

“It is perfect. search and reconnaissance. You can perfectly perform ranger missions, including setting up traps. He’s also good at assassination and sniping. Depending on the occasion, hand-to-hand combat is also possible… but I don’t like it that much. well, anyway. I am quite capable. A guy like me.”

Iden guessed he wasn’t a talkative guy. There must be a reason the archbishop chose him.

Finally, Aiden gave an introduction.

“I can assume the avant-garde. The purity of the divine power is Hadar, and unless there are special cases, the halo can last for more than ten thousand days.”

It was the result of the rapid growth of several weeks and the blessing of the saintess. Unlike the game, Uriel’s authority was permanent.

Aiden was very satisfied with that.

Everyone’s eyes widened. Euron, who came out of the room with the little boy, was making a proud face for no reason.

Priest Vandel touched his chin and looked at Iden.

“Hello, are you the one who was commissioned not too long ago? Hadar. It’s hard to believe.”

“I want to prove it here, but as the priest knows, the fact that I am a paladin must not be revealed.”

If there is someone who is sensitive to divine power outside. It’s because, of course, if the author is related to the Demonic Cult, it will be very difficult.

“Ah, of course I have no doubts. It’s just that it’s something out of common sense, so I’m a little perplexed. It seems that he monopolizes the love of God. It may be recorded in the Bible in the future.”

As a priest, it was highly praised. Aiden responded with a slight bow of his head.

“Well then…”

“I-I am a wizard.”

Aiden’s eyes moved to the kid. Daryl grinned.

“It’s not just a wizard, it’s a 3rd tier. I guess my brother is a genius. So, that’s kind of it. This Daryl assures you, there will be many surprises for you. hahahaha!”

The girl threw a stern look at Daryl.

“Please, shut that mouth.”

Aiden couldn’t help but panic. A kid about 10 years old is a 3rd tier wizard? He was the giraffe of the century who lacked even being a genius.

However, it was difficult to understand why such a person could not be remembered. It should have been named.

“Your name is Sein?”

“Yes, Holy Knight. It’s the name Master gave me.”

If the teacher gave it a name, there was a high probability that it was raised by the teacher. That magician might be a clue about Sein.

“Maybe, can I hear his name?”

“That… I’m sorry. Master never told me or my older brother by name.”

For an instant, a shadow fell on Daryl’s expression, but it quickly disappeared.

“hahahaha, the eccentric old man used to pamper us, nothing special. Rather, as a specific strategy…”

“three. I’m really sorry that I keep asking questions, but could you tell me what he looks like?”

“That, that.”

Sain looked at Daryl from the corner of his eye. That attitude made something flash in Aiden’s mind.

“Yes, I understand. I won’t ask anymore.”

With that covered for now, Iden went straight to the point.

“I went somewhere else for a while… but came back. Our goal is to stop the summons. Normally, in the offering ceremony, a stake is driven around the catalyst and the sacrifices, and the souls are extracted by connecting the magic ceremony.”

The catalyst was the body part of the demon to be summoned. When the demon responds to the call, the escaped souls are swallowed and the summoning begins.

“Mostly, the method of ruining the wine rack and damaging the stake is used to deter summoning, but we go the other way.”

Everyone looked at Iden with puzzled expressions.

“Aim for the catalyst.”

That was the way Tegain ordered. Of course, he ordered the catalyst destroyed, and Iden had no intention of doing that.

Cistina tilted her head.

“Such a strategy is when the number of allies outnumbers the enemies. No, isn’t efficiency high when at least equal? If you miss the timing, or if you cannot break through to the altar in an instant, you will fail.”

“So here I am.”

If there was enough cover and support, he was confident that he could break through to the altar.

“but···”

“I agree.”

It was a bald priest.

“In the end, if it’s a way to damage the liquor column, it’s just a waste of time. Even if it is stopped at the ancient tomb, it is enough for the Demonic Church to find another place. There must be a reason the Archbishop sent Sir Aiden here.”

The power that one person can cover the firepower of dozens. That was the Paladins.

Aiden looked at Sistina, who was deep in thought.

“Don’t worry. It will never happen that the Witchbeast tramples on Serengal. And the essential problem can be solved only by removing the catalyst.”

The latter was a lie.

What they misunderstood was that Marticoras had more than one catalyst.

Whether it’s destroying the catalyst in a tomb or interfering with a spell. Marticoras eventually manifests itself in the Empire.

It will be summoned anyway, so it would be best to weaken it as much as possible and defeat it here.

When Sistine opened her mouth, the door opened.

He was the messenger of Tegain.

“Sir Aiden, this is an item from the Archbishop.”

fall of the gods. This holy water, delivered just in time, was the end of the plan.

Also, it was something that would solve the suspicions Iden had.

Iden took the glass bottle and studied Daryl’s expression. Iden could see the displeasure on his face.

“Daryl, follow me for a moment.”

“yes? Stop talking, where are you…”

“hurry.”

Iden took Daryl to the far end of the room and locked the door.

“Aigoo, get better. Lick is just an expression. I have no taste for that at all. Absolutely wholesome and normal . . . ”

Before Daryl could finish his sentence, Iden threw holy water right in front of his eyes.

“Am I alright? Why are you like this all of a sudden?”

“Come on, Daryl. Look straight ahead.”

He couldn’t bear to stare at the holy water.

It was only then that Iden seemed to know where the underlying displeasure he felt with Daryl came from.

In addition, the behavior he tried to hide from his teacher and the instinctive nature of reacting to the holy water.

Talent, Seeker of Annihilation began to react. The bloody intent to kill soared.

“Tell me the name of your master.”

The moment Daryl’s expression hardened like wax, Iden grabbed his neck with a large hand.

“Black blood flows. Mixed-race babies.”
