Paladin in Dark Fantasy

Episode 64 .

god slayer It was a title referring to an intelligent body that had killed a god, and it was one of the powers classified as the highest in the world view.

The acquisition condition was ‘god killing’, but it could not be obtained just because a god killed a god.

It was a power that could only be acquired by a mortal who had slain the deity.

It had quite a few traits, but most of them were potential for the second half.

At this point, there was only one meaningful ability.

You become stronger by killing a god.

They bloomed by killing one, and laid the foundation for growth with three.

In addition, because he was punished without any respect or courtesy to God, he also achieved the achievement of being a ‘disrespectful person’.

There was no need to use this title right away either.

Gielan looked at Aiden with a stiff face.

A paladin who suppressed the pain with his eyes tightly closed. I was going through so-called growing pains.

Unlike the Seeker of Destruction, God Slayer does not give autonomous ability points.

It was an automatic distribution.

Since only a spoon was placed on the spirit creature in a half-dead state, it could not absorb all 10% of it.

Nevertheless, it was an overwhelming growth, and the rebound was too painful.

Like the body being reconstructed, all the bones were dislocated and put back together. Blue blood vessels pierced the skin and revealed their presence. The organs were twisted and exploded from the inside.

The fresh blood spurted from his body coagulated upon contact with the cold ground.

The clot of blood trapped in the ice shone like a jewel.

Even in the middle of it, Iden sprinkled beast perfume to hide the human body odor.

Gielan was speechless. Isn’t this kid a human? I suddenly had such a thought.

After a while, Aiden’s mouth opened.

“Cheer up, huh.”

He coughed up blood and breathed heavily. Fortunately, he did not die of shock.

Gielan suppressed his shock and spoke as calmly as possible.

“Look, are you alive?”

Aiden dropped to one knee and said weakly.

“I don’t die well.”

In Gielan’s eyes, it looked like a repulsive force that swallowed an elixir that didn’t fit in the bowl.

As if a 10-year-old child ingested perennial ginseng.

He was going to die, but Iden had a breather. Also, Gielan could not figure out why such a phenomenon occurred.

But one thing was certain.

It was true that Aiden had killed a god, and such an act was a taboo never allowed to mortals.

The swordsman slowly opened his mouth.

“I’m glad you’re alive, but do you understand what you’ve done?”

A low moan escaped Gielan’s mouth as Aiden nodded.

“Why did you do that? Became the main enemy of all deities. It’s not something I can handle.”

The gods will never forgive mortals who kill them.

unwritten law. For example, even the hero of the Balanches cult could not directly slaughter the demon god. It was the law of the gods.

If Saya also had nine tails in bloom, the church would not be able to help her no matter what she was doing.

From the moment he became a true nine-tailed fox, subjugation would be impossible in the first place.

Anyway, Aiden broke that taboo. He bit his lip and opened his mouth.

“Let’s finish the war first and think slowly.”

He raised his upper body and pulled out the Gargantua.

“Old man, please throw your head away.”

The heads of the beasts lay at Gielan’s feet.

The Sword Saint let out a laugh.

“It is truly an extraordinary being. Was this the way you said it?”

Then, all of a sudden, I laughed out loud.

“hahahaha! My, I’ve lived for over a century, but I’ve never seen a human like you!”

As if giving up, he shook his head and rolled the god’s head.

“What can I do? The water that has already been spilled.”

“you’re right. It is already irreversible.”

Aiden started sticking his head into Gargantua.

Woozijik, Woozijik. He carefully threaded each one and supported the new spear with his shoulder.

“Let’s leave first, old man.”

As Iden tried to climb on his back, Gielan shook his head.

“Are you saying you want to ride this old man? It’s absurd. I don’t know what happened, but you are not who you were a moment ago. You’ve just finished recovering. If you’re not trying to abuse the old man, run on your own feet.”

Gielan was right. I reflexively tried to carry him on my back, but when I moved my body a little, I changed my mind.

It was much lighter and somehow softer. It was thanks to the rapid growth of speed and agility, which Iden always thought were lacking.

“I will go myself.”

Aiden and Gielan immediately left the ice castle.

*

Wedge! Aiden’s new model cut through the air and ran through the snowy mountains.

Every time my feet touched the ground, snowflakes soared and shot up to the sky.

If someone saw it from afar, they might think it was an avalanche. Gielan said, running side by side with Aiden.

“Technology can’t keep up with the body.”

The swordsman was as fast as Iden, but as light as a rabbit and quiet as a ghost.

“My, when this war is over, I will tell you several things. Let’s start with the foot law.”

It was a very happy thing for Aiden.

In recent years, stats have risen explosively, but sophisticated skills such as swordsmanship and footwork have remained in the past.

In fact, it was all I learned from ‘Regul’.

Aiden’s swordsmanship teacher whom Saya killed. Outside of his teachings, Aiden fought solely on his physical abilities.

there will be limits

As he had a perfect body, he needed skill to handle him.

Aiden nodded.

“I will not forget the favor, old man.”

“There is nothing to be humble about. Who would reject a disciple like you?”

In Gielan’s eyes, Aiden was already a lump of adamante.

Not the mineral that holds the gem, but the gem itself.

Since it was already proven value, it was self-evident that it would shine more than anything else if refined.

Also, I was still young. Any master would have no choice but to be greedy for Aiden.

“Thank you for your positive evaluation.”

After saying that, Aiden shifted his gaze to the front.

Before I knew it, I had almost reached the top where Shiron was waiting.

“Anyway, you have to win for the next one.”

“Don’t worry. I will focus on the task at hand.”

Aiden and Gielan jumped up the slope at the same time and landed on a huge rock face.

There had to be a poetry theory and a horse brush behind it.

One, I didn’t see. To be precise, there was only Shiron, and the white snow field was covered with red blood.

traces of engagement. Aiden quickly looked everywhere. He turned his head in the direction of the sound.

Shiron appeared after squeezing through the dense snow trees.

Drenched in blood, she put the halberd back and looked at Iden.

Flesh stuck to the blade.

“My lord, as you commanded, I didn’t send a single one alive.”

It seemed that there was a group of demi-humans passing through the snowy mountains.

Iden swallowed the relief. Because it would be difficult to become a target of beasts already.

There were too many Dooryeong nearby.

“Good job. You did a great job.”

“This is the basics.”

Aiden nodded and went straight to Petra.

“Let’s move right away.”

Shiron didn’t know what the four heads Iden had sewn together were. I was curious, but didn’t bother to ask.

*

I moved carefully for about a day and got out of the depths.

By now, the demihumans should have started moving. About two days before they reach the canyon. Aiden had work to do before that happened.

The place where the party arrived was the crow village.

The black bird is in charge of the beast’s source, so as soon as he sees Aiden, he will spread his disrespect to each tribe.

A village full of thick snow trees. A small shack was built on each branch of the tall tree.

It was a crow’s nest. Aiden looked up at it and held up Gargantua.

Then, by infusing divine power, he shot a new spear into the sky.

Four gods looked down from the air.

As the flapping of wings resounded, countless black feathers fell.

Caw caw, the birds urgently began to cry and fly somewhere.

It was important from now on.

I removed the comb from the horse’s tail and loosened the reins.

I had to run for more than a day without stopping.

“Avoid engagement as much as possible up to the defense line.”

Chiron and Gielan nodded.

Aiden drove the horse vigorously. Petra groaned and began to pick up speed.

As soon as it quickly left the forest and entered the snowfield, Gargantua provoked the beasts by summoning its body to 60m in the air.

Howling from far away. The predator’s voice hit the horse’s butt like a whip.

The horses trembled with fear and galloped madly.

As if deliberately leaving traces, they stamped their hooves on the white snowfield and headed for the first line of defense.

*

The Command Headquarters had no choice but to deploy most of its troops to the Heilang raid.

Because there was no other alternative.

Of course, the entire army did not gather, but no one disagreed with the fact that the current army was the largest in the 200-year history of the Empire’s settlement on the continent.

A second line of defense was built within a radius of 10 km from Gielan’s hut, and a total of 70,000 troops were deployed in the first line of defense, the wall and its rear.

Also, more personnel were subdivided into the 3rd line of defense and the northern wall.

The troops to be put into the stone walls were archers, horsemen, and light infantry including long spearmen.

Since the barrier must eventually be breached, it is designed to inflict as much damage as possible to the enemy and retreat.

The distance between the wall and the main camp is about 1 km. It was suitable for one or two operations of cavalry. The cavalry included the Daeseong Knights, the Imperial Knights, and the horsemen of the Marquis of Sachilie.

Siege towers and catapults were placed on the left and right wing of the headquarters.

In the center and the vanguard, heavy spearmen holding shields were clustered like hedgehogs. The so-called phalanx formation. They were divided into groups of 500 and lined up in columns with a distance of 10 m between each column.

In between, the light infantry moved fluidly and protected the flanks of the heavy spearmen.

In the rear, archers, crossbowmen, and archers formed an active rank.

Four saints and three saints climbed the siege tower at the end and took in the battlefield at a glance. Their blessings will be of great help in holding the line.

Up to these were roughly the most elite, and the rest were composed of commoners who had been farming or fishing until recently.

The first and second lines of defense were to be built like that.

An urgent report from the Aspect Intelligence Corps shook the headquarters barracks.

Ibischuler, the commander of the Daesung Electric Division, spurned his seat and stood up.

“what!”

It was a scorpion that all beasts were attacking this place.

Soon after, other spies entered the tent one after another.

It was reported that Aiden was driving the beasts, and that they had already passed through the center of the ice cap.

The commanders were unable to grasp the situation. Why do beasts move in solidarity?

Marshal Randaren of the Demon King burst into laughter and hit the table.

“Seriously, isn’t he a hero!”

Some officials also began to face the situation.

said the chief of staff of the infantry.

“We shouldn’t be like this, we need to gather the troops here right away.”

“Come on, bring up the billboard. hurry!”

The restless prince suddenly jumped up from his seat.

“J-Didn’t you hear that all the beasts were coming here!”

Kairos, the leader of the Imperial Knights, said with a hopeful face.

“It is so, Your Highness. Indeed, it is a miracle caused by a hero, and it is a virtue that Your Highness has accumulated.”

The prince nodded quickly.

“Ah, I see. I just have to go back Kairos, hurry up and get ready.”

The faces of the servants all crumpled. Kairos swallowed his silence and said.

“Ha, lower one. If the commander-in-chief leaves the line, morale will hit rock bottom. Please reconsider.”

At that time, other Aspect spies entered the tent.

“The timing for the first line of defense is being pushed forward!”

“Yes, four hours. It’s expected to be four hours until we reach the gorge!”

“The Heavy Cavalry Regiment is heading for the Wall!”

As soon as the words were finished, the commanders started to run out of the barracks.

They saw thin streaks of light rising in the dark night sky.

Aiden was annihilating the gods.

It was too far away to see the shape, but it was clearly approaching.

The closer they got, the louder and louder the excited cries were.
