Paladin in Dark Fantasy

Episode 148 .

A desolate darkness fell over the hills. The moonlight also descended, but the forest was still buried in shadow.

This is because the densely packed giant trees did not allow even a handful of moonlight.

It was usually like that. Today was a little different.

On each broken branch, the pale moonlight slid down to the ground. strands.

The twigs broke off incessantly. The black shape passing by like a darting made it that way.

It was a huge wolf.

It was so fast that the creatures in the mountains couldn’t even follow it with their eyes. I managed to confirm only the elongated eye light.

Fenrir, who was running, munched something and swallowed it.

Euron, who was riding on his back, shouted.

“Your Highness, it’s not time to eat!”

Fenrir spit out the tiger’s skin.

“It’s tough.”

“More speed please!”

The huge head peeked at his back.

“Do you think they can survive?”

Thirty people tied to their backs. They were barely keeping their minds together. It was so fast.

Euron bit his lip. My heart is dying impatiently, but my luggage is full.

“Can you throw it away now?”

It couldn’t be.

“······It’s not possible.”

“Then don’t talk and hold tight. It smells familiar.”

Right after that, Fenrir leaped into the sky.

The view was wide open. Under the full moon, the forest encroaching on the horizon. Heilang overlapped with the moon captured the superb view at a glance.

From now on, there was no need for a trace.

Because I smelled the prey. Fenrir’s gaze moved forward and far away. anchored to a cliff

“You’re out of breath.”

“Sir, sir siron?”

“You’ll know when you see it.”

Fenrir stepped on the top of the giant tree and continued to leap. I was swimming through the night and heading straight to my destination.

Before long, Euron could see the cliff.

A large cross stood tall on the edge of the cliff.

Fenrir narrowed his brows.

“……Is it strange?”

Clearly, someone was tied up. Even though he was gagged and gagged with a black bandage wrapped around his face, the wolf easily identified him.

This is the theory of the Ascension Order.

The odd thing was that it was so blatant. It was like a trap to lure them in to come and rescue them.

Chiron, who disappeared two years ago, appears in such a state? Fenrir couldn’t erase the sense of incongruity.

First of all, I landed on a rising rock.

It was about 100m away.

Fenrir opened his mouth.

“Babe, isn’t it strange?”

There was no answer coming back. Fenrir turned his head to look at him.

Euron’s eyes were a little strange. As if, like a man who had lost his mind, he had changed in a hazy manner.

Suddenly, Euron’s face turned to surprise.

“······West, His Holiness?”

“Why are you suddenly looking for Taekwang?”

Feeling puzzled, Fenrir moved his eyes following Euron’s gaze.

I was looking at the theory. Upon closer inspection, the black bandage covering her face was slightly loosened.

Through the gap, a small amount of red light leaked out.

The wolf frowned. It is a phantom eye. The authority of Shiron who absorbed ‘Guxian’. It didn’t work on Fenrir, who was completely immune to the mental system, but Euron was different.

I was hallucinating.

Shiron started having seizures like crazy. Being restrained, it wasn’t a big move, but it was definitely desperate.

It was as if he was shouting with his whole body not to come this way.

Right after that, Euron moved.

It crossed the night sky like a ghost. Wolyeong Foot Improvement Ceremony. It was a secret technique that grafted sword master Cain’s technique on the footsteps of sword master Gielan.

If Gielan walked through the air like a staircase, Euron slipped like it was falling.

Fenrir stretched out his forepaw in an instant, but narrowly missed it.

“Baby-!”

The wolf also jumped up. It should be blocked. At the moment of catching up, Euron was already on the cross.

Fenrir also landed on the crossbar on the other side.

At the same time, Euron’s vision was shattered.

Iden, who was crucified and tortured, was nowhere to be found. Only Shiron was tied up.

“What, what…”

“Calm down!”

Fenrir looked everywhere. something will attack Or, a trap might be triggered.

Whatever it was, I fell into a trap.

The gagged Shiron also sobbed and struggled, but nothing happened yet.

Euron also felt that something was wrong.

A long time passed in silence and nervousness.

Fenrir activates the hunter’s sixth sense and scans the area thoroughly. It was just a peaceful forest.

Euron slowly opened his mouth.

“I need to free Sir Shiron first.”

“wait.”

The moment the restraining sphere is released, the trap may be triggered.

“My hallucinations have already been resolved. If something had happened, it would have already happened.”

Fenrir looked around a little more and said.

“Just release the gag for now.”

“All right.”

Euron approached Chiron and cut off the gag.

she cried.

“It’s over… because of me. God, please. Just one time, just one time, work a miracle… God please.”

I was sobbing in despair.

The voice was so desperate that Euron and Fenrir were taken aback.

Euron asked cautiously.

“Poetry, Sir Shiron. What the hell is going on?”

“It will be annihilated. that everyone will die The entire landing force as a sacrifice…, His Holiness as a demon…, please, please, do not forgive this pitiful sheep. send me to hell.”

sacrifice? devil? I couldn’t understand anything.

“Sir Shiron, I’m here to save you. Everything is going well…”

Before he could finish his sentence, an unpleasant voice interrupted.

“Is it a failure?”

The mouth opened on Shiron’s cheek. The bandages were torn and protruded.

It was Gusian.

Euron exclaimed loudly.

“You filthy devil, what have you done again!”

“Whoa, whoa. to calm down Because it has nothing to do with me.”

Chiron, who was sobbing, opened his mouth.

“……What did you just say?”

“It was a failure. Murciella That stupid bastard must have drawn the spell wrong. hahahaha! He pretended to be proud, but he ate it up very harshly.”

Shiron stuttered.

“Well, then Benbeckman is…”

“The ceremony didn’t even start.”

Shiron’s lips trembled. The bandages began to become wet with tears. There was a feeling of relief in his exhaled breath.

Euron and Fenrir couldn’t even keep up with the situation.

Euron opened his mouth.

“Poetry, Sir Shiron. What is all this about? Please provide some explanation. No, before that.”

Euron swung his sword. When all restraints were cut off, Shiron fell.

After receiving it from Fenrir, he lowered her to the ground.

Chiron knelt down and drew the sign of the cross.

With a desperate voice, he began to recite a prayer.

Euron watched the scene for a while and said.

“Now tell me. I need to hear it here.”

Shiron’s gaze moved slowly and looked at Euron.

she opened her mouth

“······Have you, by any chance, received my complete letter?”

“If it’s a note that floated along with the bodies of the Aspects, I’ve received it.”

“okay. So, Sir Euron should be here.”

“I don’t know what you mean.”

Chiron took a deep breath.

“It was a tricked-out note.”

“Who are you talking to?”

“Kadak and Murciela. The two induced me to send such a message to the continent.”

Euron’s expression was dyed with doubt.

“What is that…”

“Didn’t the Continental Army land in Benbeck Bay?”

“you’re right. It has already been occupied.”

Shiron nodded.

“I guess so. But I would have been a bit puzzled. His Holiness, why did you choose Benbeckman as the first restoration site?”

Not everyone knew why.

The dragon god, Belphegis, had also asked Aiden why. I didn’t hear the answer.

“This place is far, and it’s not a strategic point.”

Even on the Shaylan voyage, it took three days.

In the past, when Aiden went to the Demon Realm to stop Gu Xian’s heart dedication ceremony, he definitely arrived by swimming.

There were also places close by. But why choose such a distant place?

Euron opened his mouth.

“As always, I thought there would be a will.”

“It’s because of me.”

Shiron’s expression sank bitterly.

“You must have chosen this place after reading my letter. ‘Don’t trust Cardach.’ These are words that His Holiness can never overlook.”

It was correct. The reason Aiden sent Shiron to the Devil’s Realm first. It was to contact Kardak.

By the way, don’t trust Cardach? He was a wizard who should not be turned into an enemy. He also had the 8th great sage Yoo Ji-tae, Zerna.

Iden had to solve it more urgently than anything else. What if Cardach really changed his mind? When the secret of the heavenly army is realized through Zerna, the development will fall into a mess.

Because the archmage was a really tricky being.

Euron opened his mouth.

“Is Kadak’s activity radius only Benbeck?”

So Chiron would be here, and the Continental Army would have landed in Benbeck Bay.

Shiron shook his head.

“It’s somewhere deeper.”

“then······”

“We have to capture Benbeck Bay first, so we can march there.”

Holy Land, Bayern. Aiden chose Benbeck Bay as the shortest route to investigate.

Bayern was Shirone’s dispatch destination and Kadak’s activity radius.

“Then why is Lord Shiron here?”

“I ended up overhearing a conversation in Bayern. I’m going to turn His Holiness into a demon. It was Kadak and a certain demon.”

Shortly thereafter, Shiron got out of Bayern. I had to tell you this quickly.

The nearest shore was Baiken.

I was discovered while I was writing a complete letter heading straight to this place. To Kadac and Murciela.

Everything was their intention.

Even the fact that Chiron overheard was nothing more than Murciella’s plan.

Shiron was deprived of the complete book.

I recorded all the circumstances in detail, but ‘don’t trust Kardak.’ The content after that was torn apart by Kardak’s hands.

Poetry handwriting. Handwriting emotions can be avoided, and there will be no traces of manipulation.

Because she actually wrote it. As Murciella intended, Aiden completely believed the note.

In the end, I had to send troops here. Immediately after recapturing Benbeckman, to raise an army in Bayorn.

Chiron told me about it, but Euron still didn’t know.

“······ However, we succeeded in recapturing Baiken in the end. I don’t know why Lord Shiron is sad. If you’re guilty of making it land far away, don’t be too heartbroken. It worked out so well.”

Shiron shook his head.

“It’s not like that. Kadak and Murciela also expected the landing force to recapture Baiken.”

she took a deep breath.

“The reason I am a sinner is that I almost sacrificed everyone who landed on Baiken.”

“It’s hard to know at all.”

“The magic core that will turn His Holiness into a demon. Everyone here was a sacrifice for that artifact.”

Euron said.

“I am hearing it for the first time. It’s a magic core.”

“It was produced by Cardach. A demon named Murciella has even prepared a new demon seat.”

The moment the magic core is absorbed, so that Iden can have a throne.

“What kind of sacrifices are there…”

“Did you follow the trail?”

Euron nodded.

“That too is a trap. As soon as the investigation team followed the trail and stepped on this place, the spell would be activated.”

As Fenrir expected, this was a trap.

The fact that someone dealing with divinity found this place meant that the Continental Army had occupied Baiken and started investigating.

Numerous intelligent beings must be gathered in Baiken.

Then, the ritual begins. It was planned to swallow everyone in Baiken and spit out a single magic core.

Euron opened his mouth.

“Ha, but nothing happened.”

Gusian chuckled.

“Musiela, that idiot, did you draw the wrong spell? Cheeky bastard. I won’t be able to escape responsibility this time.”

Chiron seemed skeptical of the opinion.

“Gusian, Murciella is not as stupid as you. There was no way I could have made that mistake.”

A questionable light flashed across Euron’s face as if he were defending himself.

The moment he opened his mouth, Fenrir spat out a cool voice.

“… that’s strange. Girl, how do you know so specifically?”

Shiron looked at the wolf. After staring at him, he suddenly smiled.

The change in facial expression was bizarre.

A tentacle protruded from her mouth.

A strange voice leaked out.

“Anyway, it was going well, but something went wrong. Taekwang has already taken the Demon Goddess Seat. There is no need to dedicate the Benbeck Bay anymore.”

The moment Fenrir stretched out his arm, a pale cloud of light rained down from above.

The wolf retreated and evaded. Quad deuk-! Icicles emitting cold air were embedded in the ground.

A hunchbacked old man was floating in the sky. he opened his mouth slowly.

“Taegwang is at Baiken.”

The tentacles fully protruded and looked at Euron and Fenrir.

“Would you like to go with me?”
