Paladin in Dark Fantasy

Episode 51 .

Elohim Derk was an object of little value except for exploring the ruins of Arhan.

At least Iden knew that, but he was mistaken.

I couldn’t help but feel discouraged. Because I abandoned it in the north.

In one of the original routes, I heard that the legacy left by Kadak made a great contribution to the conquest of the principality.

It seems that the Inje Boni Church was able to enter the secret room left by Kadak with the Elohim Deer stolen from Sein.

As Iden let out a deep sigh, Chiron approached and asked.

“Something didn’t work out. How, shall we look around a little more?”

It was meaningless. Unless you use the key, no one can unlock Cardach’s lock.

To come all the way here and have to go back for such an idiotic reason. Aiden swallowed.

Then, just as he was about to shake his head, something broke through the window and flew in.

The Aspects reacted immediately and prepared for battle, but they were not enemies.

It was a blue gem. Elohim Derk floating around Aiden. Laughter flowed from embarrassment and relief.

It was a fluke I hadn’t expected at all. I didn’t even know this feature existed.

Aiden carefully scanned the air. In the eyes of the Aspects, he looked as if he could read.

The phrase “permanent belonging” was written at the bottom, but it was clearly not there.

It’s not clear, but it seemed to be an added attribute after opening Arhan’s Palace.

Whatever it was, I wanted to kiss the necklace. did not move into action.

Jude looked at Iden with a somewhat puzzled look as he carefully grabbed the key.

“Did you ever need that?”

Iden nodded, and Jude stuck out his tongue and laughed.

“It seems that God is always watching over you. hahahaha.”

It doesn’t matter how you interpret it. You don’t need to correct it.

Aiden beckoned the Aspects to gather them closer. Putting aside the joy, he said calmly. Because I had to be nervous.

“I don’t know what will happen from now on. As expected, you will enter the secret room that Kadak made.

The Archmage was an oddity among geeks. I don’t know if it was a strange trick.

The Aspects nodded.

Aiden inserted the Elohim Derk into the groove engraved on the wall of the study.

A blue light flowed out and embraced everyone. An irresistible Suma consumed them. The son-in-law slowly faded.

I was sure it wasn’t a secret room.

The bone-shattering pain awakened my mind.

My eyes were dazzled, and my vision was spinning around, making my head dizzy.

Aiden closed one eye. I narrowed my eyes and focused as much as possible.

The surroundings slowly began to show.

A long passageway with black walls and ceilings.

It was the place where Iden woke up.

As he slammed his own bread, he came to his senses. I immediately looked around.

Like Aiden, the Aspects were lying on the floor and complaining of dizziness.

“Calm down.”

Aiden was wary of the surroundings and raised the Aspects.

Shiron groaned and opened his mouth.

“… … Where are you, here?”

Iden didn’t know, but it was certain that he had moved to a completely different place.

“

It is not Kadak’s mansion.”

Headaches and muscle spasms were counterforces of teleportation magic.

high-level magic. At this point, no one but Kardak could handle it.

If Kardach had chosen this place as a transfer point, there must be a reason for that.

Of course, Iden didn’t know exactly who Kadak was, so he couldn’t know what his intentions were.

However, it was certain that this had a great influence on the conquest of the principality.

I had to investigate first.

The Aspects also came to their senses and began to be vigilant in all directions.

Jude said in a low voice.

“It’s not a very pleasant place.”

In this dark space, where the smell of demons vibrated, the concentration of demonic energy mixed in the air was very thick.

The light illuminating the black passageway was also purple, adding to the bleak atmosphere.

Aiden looked at the Aspects.

“Let’s start by figuring out the location.”

Unlike before, it was a place where you couldn’t use the knowledge you knew.

Shiron, who was touching the wall, answered.

“We’re used to this kind of thing. First, we found a clue.”

She showed Aiden the crumbs on her hand.

“It’s a magic stone. It’s a very high quality item among dogs, and all the walls are made of this. There is only one organization that can supply this amount. It must be a facility related to the Demonic Church.”

The highest quality Magic Stones could only be mined in the Demon King.

Except for a few members of the Demonic Cult, there were no humans who could enter and exit the Demonic Realm.

Aiden also agreed with Shiron’s idea.

“First, get out of the aisle.”

A wide straight street. It would be a waste if someone walked in.

As soon as the words were finished, footsteps were heard. Only Iden, who has a very good hearing, noticed.

He looked at the Aspects and signaled them to shut up. Then he pointed at the ceiling with his index finger.

The Aspects understood and nodded.

I quickly climbed the wall. I hid myself in the space between the ceiling and the plumbing. I felt something sloshing around inside the coffin.

The voice came closer enough that even the Aspects could hear it, and it began to appear.

“These guys are losing their pulse.

“Experiment subjects are also mediocre, but in fact, the essential problem is the manager. If you schedule too much, can these guys survive?”

“But what, the results are not certain? It’s a business that makes more money if you come out with even one successful work like No. 32, rather than making a few small ones.”

“The problem is that one issue 32 is over after a year. It’s not well controlled.”

Two men in black priestly clothes were approaching, pushing a large cart covered in white cloth.

Witch’s attire. In addition, the water buffalo horn pattern, the symbol of the principality, was drawn on the hood.

Seeing them getting closer and closer, Iden was troubled.

Judging from the conversation between the two, it was highly likely that this was some kind of experimental facility and was located inside the duchy.

At first, it was clear that only the guards could enter the place. It would be dangerous to walk around in plain clothes.

It would be nice if I could make bast noodles, but the situation was not good. I had to work alive, because the risk was too great.

When Iden glanced at Chiron, she nodded.

When they got close, the two threw their bodies in an instant and attacked.

One by one, each of them suffocated the heathen.

He snapped his neck and shattered his spine, so there was not even a scream of agony.

Aiden removed the white cloth covering the cart.

A lying corpse.

Half of his face was bizarrely shrunken, and his lower body was covered with black hair.

It was a half horse.

Shiron frowned.

“What the hell is this…”

Iden was able to catch the strands roughly.

A laboratory building that studies artificial half-horses, which is not particularly covered in the original work. I didn’t know the details, but it was certain that it was such a facility.

Jude and Goat also came down and looked at the body.

The faces of the two crumpled.

At this point, the church’s information power did not reach the inside of the Demonic Church. The Aspects knew for the first time that such an experiment was being conducted.

Aiden pointed at the bewildered Shiron and Goth.

“Go in.”

Only two people could camouflage, so the rest had to hide in carts.

.

Since they also had to carry the corpses of demonists, the small Goth and Shiron were more suitable than the big Iden and Jude.

The two were reluctant, but put their bodies into the cart without showing any sign.

Aiden also folded the bodies of the disciples well and crammed them into the empty space.

He covered it with a white cloth and changed into a priest’s uniform.

For Iden, it was better to move in the direction they were going to, rather than the direction they had passed.

Their comrades might ask why they had returned, and they would notice that their body and voice had changed.

Jude and Iden put on their hoods and pushed the cart.

The moment I almost passed through the aisle, a commotion began to spread inside.

“Your Majesty has been murdered!”

As the alarm artifacts attached to the walls roared in unison, urgent voices continued.

“Hurry up, open up!”

“What about number 32?”

“It’s bound!”

It had been two hours since the assassination of Confucius, but it seemed that Inje had heard the news.

Jude said softly.

“It appears to be an outlying or completely isolated facility.”

Aiden nodded and slightly opened the door at the end of the passage.

The noise rushed in.

The friction of wheels rolling, urgent voices, the roar of beasts, the sound of people running and jumping.

Glancing through the door, there was a huge oval-shaped hall reminiscent of the Colosseum.

A high ceiling that barely touches your eyesight. The spiraling uphill road that went around each floor was crowded with pagans.

They looked very busy.

The roar of something roared loudly.

Jude, who was listening, looked at Iden and said.

“It looks like it’s about to go outside. If you wait a little bit, it will be empty, so it’s better to move then.”

Things were going smoothly. The culprit is right in front of you, and they’ll search everywhere.

Aiden nodded and closed the door.

While waiting for the fuss to stop, I heard the sound of a heavy lump of metal pounding on the ground.

The cultists let out a tearing scream.

I thought it was a little strange, so I brought my ear to the door.

With the voice of the beast howling, something flew into the iron door and locked itself in it. Taang! The impact caused the iron plate to rise.

Iden immediately took a few steps back.

I didn’t know what hit it, but the round protruding shape was much bigger than a human head.

Jude immediately grabbed the Bible and stood by.

It seemed to Aiden that it was better to go back and hide.

The moment I opened my mouth, a powerful energy began to approach me rapidly.

There was no time to react.

Right after that, the iron plate emitted a roaring noise and collapsed with a high-pitched scream. After a while, it tore like paper, and a huge hand squeezed through the gap and came out.

He stirred the air as if looking for something. Soon after, it was completely ripped apart. Wow! A face the size of a human was revealed.

Black hair that is scattered and scattered. Through the cracks, the light of the eyes flowed out and pierced the Aspects.

The giant’s soul, guided by the strong, frantically longed for a desperate fight with Aiden.

The seeker of destruction had a seizure. half-horse shape. Iden’s blood boiled too.

However, I didn’t know that if I fought, everything would go back to nothing.

The demonists opened their palms and began chanting spells.

I saw that they were trying to control the half horse, but I had no choice but to trust them.

In order not to be suspicious of Aiden, he imitated their actions and recited an incantation of unknown meaning.

The giant slowly approached Aiden and thrust his face into it.

It arrived right in front of my nose, and I let out a snort. was provoking
