Paladin in Dark Fantasy

Episode 23 .

“Wait a moment. I will give it to you.”

Arhan put his hand on Banma Sertia’s face.

couldn’t reach one Since he is a Heroic Spirit, he was unable to physically contact anything that existed in this world.

It was said that the ordeal itself was all reality.

This is because Arhan’s authority was not the power to build virtual reality, but the ability to cut out and seal the space-time of reality.

He used the one-time power that risked his life for the sake of his lover. Right before he died, he froze the time here and separated the space.

That’s why the half-horse, Sertia’s time didn’t flow at all for 200 years.

Arhan’s hand passed Sertia without even touching it once.

She looked at Arhan with a pitiful expression.

“······In the end, you are dead.”

“You lived.”

“no. Without you, even if I live, I am not alive.”

Aiden was aware of the developments that followed. I turned my head away because I didn’t want to see it.

I heard the sound of a knife digging into my soft skin.

“Three, Sertia!”

Cracks split in the sky with Arhan’s shrieking cry. The space itself collapsed, and when I opened my eyes again, I was transferred to Arhan’s palace.

Sertia’s new model swayed faintly on the red carpet.

Countless demons slaughtered by Aiden were trapped in the dungeon and howled in unison.

It was the power of the ruins. As long as the owner, Arhan, does not disappear, the souls who died within the power will forever belong to the relic.

“I will share all of my fate with you.”

Sertia, who knew that fact, took her own life.

If we were both spirit bodies, we would be able to mix, rub, and touch our bodies. Aiden understood her psychology to that extent and moved on. Because I didn’t want to think more deeply.

How disappointed he was when he saw Sertia stabbing himself in the original film.

The shock I felt then was creeping up on me.

“I’m going to give you a human life…”

Aiden approached Arhan, who seemed to be very confused.

“Rejoice honestly, hand over the indulgences.”

Arhan frowned and glared at Aiden. But I couldn’t help but get angry. It was because Iden was a benefactor to him.

The existence that brought the moment I longed for so much. No matter how arrogant a hero Arhan was, he had that much conscience.

just laughed out loud

“Be glad. You have never been in love.”

The word love ignited the memories Aiden had buried. It was exactly a year ago, a moment full of regret.

Self-loathing and vengeance slightly hardened Aiden’s expression.

Arhan smiled subtly and took a piece of parchment from his pocket and handed it to Aiden.

“I had a love affair. However, it has already turned into hatred and is eating away at your heart.”

“Maybe.”

I didn’t have to deny it. I handed the parchment and looked at Daryl and Sane.

Sein held back his tears and crouched down with both arms wrapped around his body.

She didn’t want to show her scales and couldn’t shed a tear. It was because I had seen Daryl and Iden’s struggles with my own eyes, and the very act of expressing my own tragedy was like a sin.

He was holding back his tears.

Aiden was immature in how to comfort and care for others.

However, the essential problem could be solved. The rest will be yours or Daryl’s role.

“You can wash away the black blood that flows through your body. So don’t be sad.”

Aiden extended his exoneration. Only then did Sein understand Kadak’s words.

‘No matter what happens, follow the one chosen by Elohim Derk. Also visit the ruins. Do you understand?’

The master already knew that he was a half-horse. took it all together Her brother was carrying her alone, and the paladin, who hated demons more than anyone else, showed grace beyond mercy.

“Sistina-sama and Priest Vandel too…”

Aiden nodded slowly. Sein could no longer hide the flowing tears.

Who would have given birth to a mixed race like this? It’s a dirty and ugly existence, so no one would want to get close to it.

Creatures less dignified than livestock. that was half horse

Emotions surged so much that my heart ached. To receive such undeserved grace, is he really worthy? How should I repay the love and grace of the paladin from them?

It was a gorge so deep that it could not be filled even if I devoted my life to it.

As a third person, I couldn’t think of a way to repay. He just bowed his head and repeated his apology and thanks.

Aiden thought about what to say, but it didn’t come to his mind. I just put my eyes on him and patted him on the back.

“It’s okay, thank you.”

Daryl came over and knelt down.

“Don’t even do this to yourself. inconvenient.”

“Even Eun-won is not an indistinguishable beast. Even this knee is not enough. Please allow me to pay it off gradually.”

Aiden’s expression darkened slightly. Because altruism alone did not save them.

Aiden wanted to quickly sort out the uncomfortable situation. He unfolded the parchment and began to read the text.

“Bacheksar said, “Because the sins of the ancestors are inherited, the later generations…. done.”

Aiden covered the parchment without finishing a single sentence.

“Get a rough idea. You guys deserve to be forgiven for your sins.”

Daryl laughed.

It was because the Aiden he had seen was quite different from the public opinion.

He is a noble hero who is devoted to God.

I felt a little out of place. I’ve never seen Aiden pray.

Unless it was a situation where the eyes of others were focused, there was no way to bring up the word itself.

Paladins put a god at the end of every word, but Iden wasn’t.

Occasionally, there were times when he spat words that amounted to blasphemy. like now.

Iden handed the dagger and parchment to Daryl.

“Put a blood seal on the bottom.”

Daryl cut his index finger with a dagger. I stamped on the parchment and handed it over to Sein.

“You can do it like Daryl.”

Sein handed it over with trembling hands. Daryl stroked his brother’s hair.

“You’re not afraid of spilling blood right? hahahaha.”

Sein shook his head slowly.

“Then, come on.”

She closed her eyes and slashed the flesh.

I handed the parchment with the blood stamp back to Iden.

“The procedure ends here.”

At the same time, the parchment emitted a bright light. The deformed characters crawled out and wrapped themselves around the body of the siblings.

A bright light burned their dark blood. The pain running through their bodies through their blood vessels distorted their expressions.

However, the pain was okay. The freedom and liberation you longed for. They could now confidently introduce themselves as human beings.

Eventually, when the light faded, even Daryl’s eyes turned red.

“God officially pardoned me, and I observed. As a witness, I will prove the innocence of the two to the church. you guys are human Congratulations.”

The long-awaited reality has arrived. Daryl lowered his head, as if trying to hide his expression.

Half-horse Sertia laughed and clapped her hands behind her.

“I sincerely congratulate you.”

Aiden took a step closer to the weeping brother and sister.

“Stop getting up.”

There was no answer, only Daryl’s breathing. After a moment of silence, he raised his head. It was a very serious expression.

“Sir, I didn’t learn anything, so I don’t know much about God’s will. However, you will definitely know who will repay this favor.”

Daryl clenched his hands tightly as if he was determined. Then he got down on one knee and looked up at Iden.

“Take this. I consecrate life and death to you.”

He held up a dagger with both hands.

“Please accept it.”

Paladins have the right to honor knights. Of course, that was when the target had the proper qualifications.

Iden pondered for a while before accepting Daryl’s dagger.

“I just let it go. If a commoner wants to have a title, there is no way to have that level of skill. Even if I acknowledge it, the church will reject it.”

Daryl grinned and got up from his seat.

“Sir, from your point of view, it’s only natural that I’m lacking. But you know what? Even if it looks like this, I’m 18 now. I’ve heard a lot of genius voices. Anyway, stay tuned. You will admit it.”

“Yes, try your best.”

Aiden nodded and looked at Sein.

The scales that had been eating away at her skin were also gone.

“Sein, don’t think that you are in debt. i paid you back live for yourself.”

Sein wiped away tears and hesitantly opened his mouth.

“······That, Master said I would become the Archmage. I am by no means bragging. And Sistina-nim said that I would definitely grow up to be a beauty. sorry. That’s just…”

“Yeah, after listening to it, I don’t see anything wrong. However, it means that you live the way you want. You will be respected wherever you go. If you wish, I can write a letter of recommendation for the Imperial Magician University. You can go and hone your talents.”

If it was Sein’s talent and a letter of recommendation from a paladin, admission would not be a problem. No matter how common.

Sein looked at him and shook his head.

“Master said I wouldn’t learn anything there…”

If the Archmage Kadak could say that, it meant that Sein’s talent was beyond Aiden’s imagination.

Of course, Aiden was ignorant of magic, so he couldn’t determine the authenticity.

I just nodded.

“Yeah, if you need anything, I’ll help you, let me know if you think of it.”

After saying that, I approached Arhan.

“Bring the rest of the Noble Phantasms.”

“Hmph, if someone sees it, they’ll know it’s been entrusted to them.”

“It’s not that wrong.”

“under! He is so bold that he is at a loss for words.”

Arhan’s expression was somewhat unwilling, but he couldn’t help it. Because Aiden passed the ordeal.

He clicked his tongue and snapped his fingers.

A huge spear and a jewel box fell out of the air.

“Sacred spear, Gargantua. A spear made from the ribs of the King of the Beasts. It is double-folding with a total length of 4.5m, and it is an anti-gun weapon that expands indefinitely according to the divine power you consecrate, and this body is a whopping 38m…”

Garagantua was, of course, an out-of-standard Noble Phantasm, but its true state was contained in that jewel box.

Aiden ignored Arhan’s words and slowly opened the jewelry box.

A single smooth egg was wrapped in red silk.

Iden swallowed nervously.

“It resonates with those who have passed the ordeal, and the seal is broken. Predictably, they will hatch right away.”

It was a fact that Aiden was well aware of.

The reason why users repeat resemara was because of that egg.

A unicorn that purifies demonic energy.

or,

Pegasus, the heavenly horse flying through the sky.

One of the two is born, but what Iden wants is fixed. Of course, I had to accept whatever came out.

took my hand

The egg emitted a dazzling brilliance.

Daryl saw Iden’s expression like that for the first time.
