Paladin in Dark Fantasy

Episode 58 .

Aiden’s gaze, which had been fixed on Saya, moved towards the demons again.

The hideous hybrids were still full. The first priority was to finish the cleaning.

Aiden shook off his complicated thoughts and jumped out again.

They cut and cut the fleeing tribes again and again. They slaughtered all of them with the momentum not to spare even a single one.

Even as the dawn dawned over the East, Aiden was on the move.

bloody acid. Hills of corpses, large and small, rose all over the territory, and black blood flowed between the mounds like a river.

Iden trampled on the last remaining one’s head and exploded it.

I looked around with a furious expression. All those many demons turned into flesh and rolled around.

The demonists and apostates were nowhere to be seen.

They all died at the hands of Shiron, or they were captured by the executioner while escaping.

The misfortune awaiting them was not the only death penalty. A system of guilt by association was also applied, and there was a high probability that all distant relatives would be exterminated.

It was because the Baranches Church, for any reason, did not show mercy to humans related to the Demonic Church.

Even Iden couldn’t stop it.

Because such a method of treatment was Bacheksar’s will. No matter how much the hero recorded in the Bible, he was not above the head of God.

Aiden inserted the holy sword and approached Saya.

She jumped off the scarecrow and landed on the ground.

The sunlight dyed the nine-tailed fox’s silver hair even brighter.

Saya smiled and pointed at the baby.

“You didn’t cry? He’s going to be a big guy.”

Seeing that, Chiron pulled out a halberd. Then he strode toward the child.

Aiden stopped her.

“I will save you.”

Shiron made a rather puzzled expression.

The baby in front of him was essentially different from the duke’s hat that Aiden had saved.

They were forcibly oppressed, but this child’s parents are human beings who have fallen voluntarily.

At that time, I could understand Shiron, but not as much as this time.

What Aiden was doing now was a disrespect that completely violated doctrine.

Shiron opened his mouth.

“…Sir Aiden, you are the son of a heretic.”

“Know. One, I will save you.”

Even if the headmaster had continued to threaten, Iden would not have gone over.

Because I couldn’t let go of the religious leader in order to save a child. It was obvious that letting them go would cause more damage.

However, the situation has already been sorted out by Saya’s intervention.

The reason to give up the baby is gone. In short, a matter of priorities. Although he could afford to sacrifice for development, he had no intention of being bound by doctrines or laws.

Also, Iden was well aware that all of this was just hypocrisy for self-justification.

Still, I was determined to save it.

Chiron bit his lip. A messenger of God disobeying Vacheksar’s teachings. It was hard for her to accept.

“… are you serious?”

“I mean it.”

I squeezed the halberd tightly. My hands were trembling.

I wanted to deny one. The fact that the hero she had been in awe of had betrayed her, she couldn’t believe it at all.

Shiron looked at Iden with desperate eyes.

“This, why. There must be a reason for even this. Yes?”

Aiden stared her in the eye.

It was a look I had seen from Euron. Respect and distrust mix together to make you lose your way and waver.

However, Euron now believed in Aiden’s words, even if the devil gave birth to a god.

blind faith. It was one of the values Iden required of his colleagues. Because I couldn’t explain every single thing I did.

Aiden put an iron plate on his face.

“God wants it. Just as I pardoned you, I am sure this child will do the same.”

Shiron made a puzzled expression, and Saya burst out laughing. Iden didn’t react and turned his eyes to the baby.

I breathed divine power into my index finger and drew the sign of the cross.

“Grow straight up. Always do good and help the weak. Let your atonement reach the heavens. God will watch your reflection.”

I took the divinity to the baby’s forehead. The boy laughed and babbled.

Aiden took over the baby. Then he gave it to Shiron’s arms.

Her pupils trembled.

“Leave it to the nearby monastery.”

“Ha, but…”

Aiden said calmly.

“Can I trust you?”

She swore to aide Iden until the end of her life.

Disobedience was impossible. The doctrine of the Hana Church could not be violated either.

The hill she leaned on was only a word from Aiden that there was a revelation from God.

Numerous emotions flashed in Shiron’s eyes. Finally, he lowered his head and gave a small nod.

Aiden asked again. The mind’s eye worked.

“Can I trust you?”

“······yes.”

“Go right away. See you at the church.”

Shiron glanced at Saya. He turned his gaze back to Aiden and let out a small sigh as if he had given up.

“See you later. Take care of yourself, please.”

Iden nodded, and Shiron moved.

By now, the morning sun was coming up. The sun rising from the east stretched out the shadows of Saya and Aiden, overlapping them.

Towards the Gumiho who was smiling brightly, Iden opened his mouth.

“How long are you going to follow me?”

Saya shrugged and brought her white tail in front of Aiden’s eyes.

“See? it’s one Ilmi, who has been born for almost two years, is there such a nine-tailed fox in the world?”

Having said that, the fox smiled and took a step closer to Aiden.

“Oh, but is that right in front of you? congratulations. Every man in the world will envy you. Just put a spoon on it. Then I won’t show up for a while. how is it?”

Saya was so close that her breath could touch her before she knew it.

She made an alluring arc and shed her bewitching eyes. The pure white skin was dyed red.

Its unique scent was a temptation that a normal man could never resist, but Aiden didn’t respond.

His expression was also rather calm.

Aiden pressed a finger across her forehead.

“I don’t have the confidence to stand the smell of the beast.”

That’s what he said, but in fact, the reason he couldn’t hug Saya wasn’t just a matter of emotion.

The first child of the goddess status is born with divine status. reply. He was an essential child for Aiden’s plan.

However, that wasn’t the case now. No matter how much of his own blood, the demigods were arrogant and unusual beings, so Iden could never be controlled.

Contraception was also impossible. This is because the Gumiho’s wish was not just an act of mixing bodies, but a regular one.

Having s*x won’t necessarily result in a child, but I couldn’t gamble with the future as collateral.

A gloomy air flowed across Saya’s face.

“Why are you talking so meanly? that’s not the reason I am hurt too.”

Sayaya was well aware of the situation. Even when they were together in the past, Aiden rejected the relationship, and he had told him the reason behind it.

It was forbidden, so I couldn’t explain it in detail.

Aiden opened his mouth.

“I’m glad you know. So it is impossible.”

“I can bear it. You can stop along the way.”

Aiden laughed. The first experience of a nine-tailed fox could not control his desire. It was fortunate if he didn’t kill his opponent with the fortune teller.

Aiden shook his head and said.

“Saya, you told me. don’t fool yourself That applies to you too. How can a beast that is more self-centered than anyone put up with its instincts?”

Saya frowned.

“Don’t talk like you know everything.”

Aiden nodded.

“i get it. I apologize, now go. There is nothing to be gained by following me around.”

Aiden turned his back. Saya grabbed Aiden’s little finger and held it.

“After all, you need me too.”

The use of Saya was not limited to children. The existence of a nine-tailed fox was also necessary.

Also, besides her, there were one or two other goddesses who could give birth to children.

I always had to come up with a second best plan, so I had already established a strategy.

A soft, wet voice continued.

“Just let me stay by your side. I’ll hold on until you want really.”

At first glance, she seems innocent, but her true appearance was never like this.

Iden knew better than anyone what Saya’s true nature was. An uncontrollable monster. I couldn’t keep Saya by my side until Iden became stronger.

It was because he did not know if a problem that could be solved with a few drops of blood should be resolved with a sea of blood.

It shouldn’t have happened any more.

Aiden tore off the little hand holding his little finger.

Saya’s blue pupils were wet. she said in a slightly trembling voice.

“You are not the old you. I know when I see it Can you understand me now?”

“It is not a matter of understanding or not.”

Aiden paused for a moment. Then he said in a low voice.

“To be honest, even this moment of talking to you is difficult. Do you remember Regul telling me about the knife? It will already disappear from your mind. What about Anna, who always bakes bread? Benjamin, who died while fighting alongside him, and his son, whom he swore to take responsibility for. I still hear their screams.”

No matter how much mental power was taken, the festering emotions did not go away. It just made it possible to turn away and move.

Occasionally, those memories came without warning and haunted Iden.

he bit his lip.

“Saya, I begged you to stop. Should I do it again?”

Aiden’s voice was calm, but his eyes trembled slightly.

It was a feeling that was not well expressed.

Facing him, Saya became terrified.

Suddenly, it dawned on me that I might not really be able to melt away his feelings.

My hair went white little by little. My eyes were red with tears.

“Ah, Aiden… I,”

Aiden shook his head.

“Don’t say I’m wrong. I am no different from you. Saya, in the first place, you acted according to your values. Same for me. We don’t have to ask each other for forgiveness.”

Even though I was swearing at Saya to push him away, I saw it and treated him harshly.

However, it didn’t work for her. So, I was speaking with sincerity.

“If you put that feeling down, maybe we can get along.”

interests. If it wasn’t for a lover, we could have been together enough for the future.

Whatever it was, Iden needed her.

Saya looked at Aiden with a desperate expression. Words that were much more painful than cursing pierced her heart.

“So, Saya, now live freely. Stretch your tail according to your instincts, and roam the world like a nine-tailed fox. By then, I will have become a human being who can help you.”

Even if it was an interest, there was nothing Saya could gain from Iden now.

In order to completely sort out the love-hate relationship with her, Iden had to become someone who could give something tangible.

If I held my emotions hostage and used them, I didn’t know that they would become a greater repulsive force and fly away.

Iden had given up the demigod child she was about to give birth. I’ll have to find another goddess.

Saya noticed that Aiden had completely crossed the line. It was so scary.

She froze, and tears fell from her eyes. cried right away. He crouched down like a child, covered his face, and began to sob.

She didn’t know what to say. I was wrong, ask for forgiveness. Those words just lingered in my mouth and then scattered.

Aiden looked down at Saya.

The drooping ears and tail were pitiful. Deep in her heart, Aiden was already wiping away her tears.

It really felt like my heart would be torn apart. Had he not invested in his mental strength, Iden might have hugged her.

Aiden took a difficult step.
