Paladin in Dark Fantasy

Episode 37 .

Sharp claws approached Yuriel’s eyes.

Aiden immediately pulled out Gargantua and infused it with divine power.

The holy spear shot through the body and aimed at Elpis’s head. The demon flexibly leaned back and evaded.

aaang! Gargantua slammed the wall, spilling stone crumbs down.

Even in the middle of it, Yuriel continued singing hymns.

Elpis turned his head to Aiden.

Kieeck!

Iden couldn’t figure out how a mouthless creature could make sounds.

It was just a disgusting noise, so it only made me feel sick.

As the devil got excited, the Seeker of Destruction went mad as well.

Aiden slightly reduced the length of the holy spear and pulled it out of the wall. At the same time, I hit the guy straight in the front.

baek! With the sound of the blow, the demon plummeted to the ground. Iden jumped. I put my weight on the holy sword and slashed it down at a right angle.

There was no sensation of piercing flesh.

The black marble shattered, scattering debris in all directions. The devil was behind his back.

The moment Iden twisted his back, long nails slid diagonally from his left shoulder to his right pelvis.

Chow ah! The sacred armor was torn like a piece of paper, and red blood gushed into the air. Immediately, the saintess prayed.

“Saint Vacheksar, please grant me a surname.”

A halo of light floating in the air clung to Aiden and healed his wounds. The bleeding stopped in an instant.

The pain also subsided a little.

The holy sword drew a trajectory toward the guy’s neck. in parallel. couldn’t reach one The demon reacted in an instant and raised his arm to block it. Quaang! Nails and blades collided and sparks flew.

The guy couldn’t stand Iden’s strength and was pushed back for a long time. Quadruped! Marble was ground by friction.

Aiden did not rest. I lifted my heel slightly. My thighs swelled to burst, and my calves hardened like stones.

Fast! The ground was hollowed out. As soon as the recoil spread with wind pressure, it ricocheted out like a bullet.

I closed the distance for an instant and thrust the holy sword into the lower abdomen of the guy who was pushed out. Got it this time The taste of the hand digging into the flesh permeated through the blade.

Kieeck!

The halberd screamed. Black blood spurted out and soaked Aiden’s face.

I turned the knife parallel to the guy’s body. The muscles gripped the sword body, but twisted it forcefully.

Squeak! The holy sword was half exposed outside the body. Blood flowed down the sword.

After ducking his head to avoid the flying long nails, he tore off the demon’s upper body. Organs and bundles of muscles were pressed against the sword body and came out with it.

His upper body fell to the floor. I shouldn’t have missed the opportunity.

Elpis in Phase 1 does not lose vitality no matter how many times it is split. It was a very tricky opponent to keep attacking even when it was the size of a fingernail.

“Saintess!”

Uriel immediately recited a passage from the Bible.

At the same time, a cluster of lights condensed and struck Aiden like lightning.

His whole body burned to a golden light. All stats have risen by leaps and bounds.

just 1 second. It was Yuriel’s blessing to bring out the target’s potential for a moment.

The world around Iden stopped. The sense that time does not pass was a reaction that Aiden’s cognitive and physical abilities transcended human beings.

It was a strange moment.

Iden never imagined that Uriel’s blessing would have such an effect.

Even if the holy sword is raised, the demon does not move. There was no response even when he hit it to pieces. While repeating a series of movements hundreds of times, Elpis’ time stood still.

In Yuriel’s eyes, Iden looked like a hardened wax figure holding a sword.

I just stared blankly at the pieces of meat that were scattered and turned into powder.

The piercing sound tearing through the air belatedly shook the palace. Gold cracked on the ground.

A second later, a terrible recoil hit Iden. Bones shattered and muscles screamed. The pain slashed through the whole body with a sharp knife.

Aiden dropped to one knee. I pierced the holy sword into the ground and managed to sustain myself.

Yuriel’s expression, sitting on top of the chandelier, was tinged with astonishment.

The blessings bestowed by Uriel could not transcend the inherent limitations of the beneficiary, as they were based on the subject’s potential.

In addition, the recoil was so excessive that it was used with limited effect.

That’s why I couldn’t understand it any more. Even though there were restrictions, Aiden’s movements were far beyond human common sense.

I couldn’t even fathom the power that lay dormant inside him.

Of course, the side effects were also terribly terrible. Aiden thought that if he moved, he might lose his mind.

His eyes were slowly losing focus. The strength in the arm holding the holy sword slowly loosened.

Yuriel, who saw such a scene, desperately shouted from the top of the chandelier.

“Ah, Sir Aiden!”

Her voice was faintly audible.

I can never fall down like this. replayed like crazy. The subjugation of Elpis is not over.

I just passed phase 1.

Why did I already receive the blessing? I regretted it. If I had known it would be this efficient and recoil, I would have used it in the next phase.

Aiden bit his lip. However, even the pain could not hold on to the fading vision.

Aiden’s model leaned forward. In that moment, snap! A dull sound and a moan came at the same time.

Aiden lay on his stomach and turned his head with difficulty. Yuriel, who had jumped from the ceiling, was crawling with a broken ankle.

‘······That woman is also quite radical.’

Uriel’s judgment was correct. She didn’t know about the existence of Phase 2, but she knew very well that Yona’s power was coming to an end.

If Aiden passed out like that, he might be trapped in the deep sea forever.

Uriel had to treat him before he passed out.

“Sir Aiden!”

She desperately grabbed Aiden’s ankle with both hands.

I tried to pull it, but with Yuriel’s power, it didn’t budge. Instead, her body was dragged to Iden.

Uriel started to climb up on Aiden who was lying on his stomach.

The broken ankle hurt so much, but I endured it by biting it hard. Since all saints have a self-healing prohibition, they couldn’t even hope for goodness.

Unsuitably for the situation, I felt that the back is very wide. He immediately shook his head, brushed off his thoughts, and moved closer to his face.

Uriel slightly opened Aiden’s half-closed eyelids. The pupils were dilated.

“Hold on for a little while.”

A sweet smell came from her breath.

Uriel placed his index finger on Aiden’s forehead and closed his eyes.

As they began to sing the hymn, a dazzling light embraced Aiden and Yuriel.

Aiden felt the warmth.

I even heard the illusion of lying on a green plain and basking in the sun while being blown by the cool breeze.

Sunlight traveled all over the body. I touched the torn and broken things.

The excruciating pain subsided and my mind began to feel refreshed.

It was a sacred power that even high-ranking priests could stick out their tongues.

Aiden opened his eyes. He grabbed the shoulder of Yuriel, who was still praying.

She looked at Iden with a startled look on her face.

Uriel avoided Aiden’s gaze without even realizing it.

“Can I use that one more time?”

“······yes?”

“No, it must be done unconditionally.”

Aiden immediately raised his upper body. Uriel looked up at him with a very embarrassed expression.

Where Aiden’s eyes were directed, black smoke was slowly gathering.

As soon as he checked the current, Uriel also felt that it was not the end.

“Saintess, if I signal, I will ask you again.”

Uriel firmly replied.

“Absolutely not.”

Aiden looked back at her.

“I might die.”

If the target was a normal human, it was okay to use it once or twice more.

Hana Aiden’s potential was a power that was difficult to contain in the body he had now. The bowl might break.

Even Yuriel couldn’t bring the dead back to life.

At that moment, a thought flashed in Aiden’s mind.

Aiden immediately threw the holy sword at the podium engraved with Elpis’s monologue. The marble was smashed and collapsed in an instant.

I hugged Yuriel, who was very flustered, and entered between the pillars.

The platform collapsed, revealing the stone slabs enshrined in it.

As an open easter egg, it was an artifact where users traded authority.

It was a one-time opportunity, so everyone used it carefully.

“Read it.”

Iden pointed to the instructions written on the bottom of the slate.

“Hey, please put it down for a moment.”

I gently put Yuriel on the floor. She cleared her throat and looked at the lower part.

After a while, Yuriel, who had been reading it down, smiled dejectedly and nodded.

“I certainly didn’t mean to dig out your eyes.”

“I am a human too.”

Aiden paused for a moment, then resumed.

“I received the power to revive a lion from the sea god, but unfortunately it is a one-time use.”

Uriel looked up at Iden with a puzzled expression.

“After exchanging resuscitation with Mind’s Eye, if you die due to the recoil of the Gyeong Blessing, bring it back to life. Could it be that you are saying that?”

As for Yuriel, I was really impressed with Aiden’s shamelessness.

In the end, there will be nothing left of her. Sim’ando and Sosaengdo.

Iden was well aware of the fact that this was an unreasonable request. One couldn’t help it.

“As you may have noticed, the subjugation is not over.”

Aiden pointed to the empty space where demonic energy condensed. There was only a brief lull. The source couldn’t be killed so easily.

“Actually, it might be difficult for me to beat him now.”

“You said the odds were good enough.”

“I believed in the blessing of the saintess. However, I did not expect such efficiency and recoil at all. This is my negligence. sorry.”

Yuriel’s power was a double-edged sword. You can pull out the extreme efficiency, but the chance was only once.

Aiden’s body wasn’t fully healed, so if he received the blessing again, he might really die.

Uriel wondered if all of this was Aiden’s plan.

If they couldn’t kill the source, it was Iden and Uriel who would die.

In a way, there was no choice.

Like this, if Aiden’s intention was to drive Uriel into a corner, he would really be afraid of the man in front of him.

Because he meant that he was a human being who did not choose the means and methods for his purpose.

When Elpis is freed, the Seilun tribe is annihilated.

It was no different than Aiden using countless lives as hostages to threaten Uriel into surrendering his inner eye.

please don’t be like that A strange feeling hung over Yuriel’s pupils.

He pursed his lips and barely spoke.

“Sir Aiden, please answer correctly.”

“I don’t have time for this.”

“One word is enough. Was that your intention?”

Iden also roughly grasped the gist of the question. He seemed to know roughly how the saintess was looking at him.

Aiden let out a deep sigh.

“you’re right.”

When I heard the answer, I felt miserable. To think that such a cold-blooded man is being praised as a hero.

However, after the inner eye worked to determine the authenticity, Uriel couldn’t help but laugh.

because it was a lie

Aiden also laughed as if he had collapsed.

“I am a person too. As I said.”

Uriel glanced at Iden.

“Don’t joke like that. never.”

“Then give it now.”

As Aiden approached the stone slab, Uriel looked at him with an expression full of spirit.

“If you die, please.”

“I don’t know.”

“I will try to live to the fullest. It is a waste of power to use in a place like this.”

Still, I had to exchange. Because you always have to assume the worst.

“You speak as if the resuscitation power is also yours.”

“Not necessarily.”

It was a lie. Uriel hated Iden a little bit.
