Dark Fantasy Paladin Chapter 28

Episode 28

Euron dragged a huge cross-shaped frame and a wooden chair from the dungeon.

Iden secured the mutant’s limbs to the pillar and sat down facing him.

He took out a dagger from his pocket. It was an item that Daryl handed over to me a while ago, saying he was dedicating his life.

“Do you remember that a paladin came and went a few weeks ago?”

The thing cried out in an unpleasant voice without answering. It felt like I was scratching metal with my fingernails and my head ached.

“okay.”

Aiden calmly nodded and stabbed the man in the thigh with a dagger imbued with divine power.

An even more terrible scream echoed through the hall.

“I will ask again. Do you remember Tyrun?”

The man endured the pain and struggled for breath. Then, I suddenly looked down at Iden with a helpless smile on my face.

“······Boy, how many years do you think I’ve lived?”

It must have been at least a hundred years.

“be not interested in.”

Iden took the dagger. The smell of the devil’s skin burning with divine power irritated my nose.

Even though the guy was screaming, he was giggling in between. The Seeker of Destruction reacted with disgust.

This is why the process of interrogating the demon was difficult for Iden to endure. Because I had to suppress the urge to crush my boner right away.

Madness began to appear in the guy’s eyes.

“It’s been exactly one hundred and fifty years! My whole body was cut off, stitch by stitch. I can’t even count the memories of seeing my five organs and six parts with my own eyes. “I was immersed in the deep sea for over twenty years and did not breathe!”

The mutant suddenly burst into laughter.

“haha! But?! Do you think I will open my mouth to your shallow tricks? There is no creativity in cruelty. At best, it’s divine power! What a dagger! haha!”

The guy laughed for a while and fell asleep. After some time had passed, the laughter subsided. Then he raised his eyebrows and looked at Aiden.

“I saw you. You crave power more than anyone else. There’s nothing you can’t do to fill your bowl, right? I will give you strength. “If you become a clan, no one will dare to oppose you.”

Iden nodded.

“i get it. What you are truly afraid of is not pain or anything else. “It is death.”

Even at this point, he is trying to figure out how to survive. It must have been like this all along. Iden predicted that the reason he was able to overcome so much pain was because of his obsession with life.

Additionally, it was related to the power that Brunu had. The ability to survive one’s own life by stealing the body of a relative.

The power of a vampire often sprouted in connection with the desires of human life.

The type of thing it had was usually related to survival.

It was closer to a desire to escape from the shackles of longevity rather than the concept of living.

The mutant frowned.

“This body?”

“Let’s test it.”

Iden slowly got up from the chair.

“Tell me about Tyrun. “I’ll spare your life.”

The guy smiled bitterly and looked at Iden.

“Did I look that stupid in your eyes? I spent one hundred and fifty years with the bastards of the church. Generations change, but how can the voices remain the same? It’s just not enough. That’s probably because life is finite. I will give you eternity. “Come closer.”

Iden was not at all interested in the guy’s proposal. If the vampire route was advantageous for clearing, I would have looked for purebloods from the beginning.

I stood right in front of the mutant. Iden grabbed the fangs that the bastard gave with a mean smile and pulled them out.

The mutant screamed and went crazy. Ignoring it, I brought the blade coated with divine power to his forehead.

The devil’s skin boiled. The guy complained of pain and shook his head violently.

“Did you share your blood with Tyrun? “He said he would save my life if I answered.”

“dog sound! Stop that bullshit! “Dirty stray dog!”

Aiden used his arms to push it in little by little. Its skin melted away, revealing the white surface of its skull.

“If you keep your mouth shut, you will die.”

Incontinence spread to my bones.

“개새끼가! Wait a minute!”

The guy’s pupils were burning red. The frame rocked left and right.

Iden firmly grasped the back of the guy’s head with one hand and slowly inserted the knife.

I passed something hard and felt a soft touch.

The mutant’s two eyes looked cross-eyed. I was breathing heavily and drooling.

Aiden’s prediction was correct. As death approached, the man’s once relaxed face trembled with fear.

The mutant shouted as if he were having a fit.

“Poetry God. Swear to your god!”

“good night. I swear in the name of Bacheksar. “If you open your mouth, I will save your life.”

Even though the devil realized that something was wrong, he couldn’t help but feel hope.

“They gave me a chance to choose.”

“Say it straight.”

Iden slightly pushed the knife in, and the guy turned pale and gasped.

“······Female inferiority complex. It stimulated Tyrun’s sense of inferiority regarding his talent. However, he did not drink blood in the end. However, they put it separately in a glass bottle. It’s over! “For me, I just gave you a chance, nothing more, nothing less!”

Maybe this is Brunu’s way. It was a vicious method of bringing out the inner self of others through hallucinations and driving their psychology to corrupt them.

Considering the fact that Tyrun received vampire blood, he is probably conflicted.

Iden looked straight into the guy’s eyes.

“What is the extent of your power? “If Tyrun had become one of your servants, you could have stolen his body and run away, but now you are tied up.”

“It is limited to the periphery of the state. Also, it is unknown whether it drank blood or not. “If you drink it, you will find it on your own.”

All doubts were resolved. Iden nodded.

As he slowly pulled out the dagger that was stuck between his eyes, hope spread across his face.

“Yes, you are different! Since you keep your promise, I acknowledge you. “I will repay you.”

The guy rolled his eyes and shouted as if something suddenly occurred to him.

“What is the position of the bitch you love and hate? I know that she tore all my servants to pieces and killed them. That bitch now…”

Aiden chewed his lips and suppressed his emotions.

“Not required.”

The mutant looked at Iden with a rather perplexed expression.

“No way? I looked into you. “It’s probably not a feeling you can force yourself to swallow…?”

“It’s purely your opinion.”

I didn’t want to talk to him anymore. Iden turned around and walked toward the front door.

“Release this and go!”

Iden ignored the struggling mutant and looked at Daryl and Euron.

“Come out and see for yourself that he dies.”

“Are we finishing it?”

Aiden shook his head and pointed outdoors.

“I checked.”

“I’ll see you later.”

The mutant screamed in a hateful voice.

“You swore! Are you a bastard that even bites the owner you serve? Bacheksar is such a light name! Come back! Come back you hound! “Aren’t you afraid of heavenly punishment?”

“Get off.”

Aiden went out the front door that way.

Hundreds of people were waiting for Aiden outside.

One by one, they fell to the floor and began to bow their heads.

The terrible life of livestock that seemed like it would never end has come to an end.

Someone burst into tears that they had been holding back for so long. The emotions that I couldn’t reveal because I was afraid of mutants flooded in as if a dam had burst.

The parents who sent their children first cried, and the son who lost his father before his eyes lamented.

The benefactor who had brought about terrible misfortune was right in front of me. They spoke and expressed their praises in their own way.

“Everyone stand up.”

Aiden lifted up Lark, who was lying down in the front row.

His face was covered in tears and snot.

“You guys should finish it. “They were tied up in the hall.”

Aiden left with just those words.

*

A full day has passed.

The corpses of the vampires were gathered together and burned, and funerals were held for the dead.

Iden was writing a report to be submitted to the church and the empire in the lord’s office in the empty lord’s castle.

In the document heading to the empire, the circumstances of what was seen and heard in the Permanent Tale were recorded in detail.

Iden’s personal opinion that the king of beasts may ascend to the throne was ruled out for now.

If you read the report, you will be able to make inferences from there. Maybe form an investigation team or something.

The document to be sent to the church recorded Daryl and Sein’s innocence. Therefore, I had no choice but to reveal that I had visited the historical site. Because indulgences were something obtained there.

However, as promised to Arhan, the location of the historical site was not disclosed. Although the high-ranking nobles would try to find out somehow, I was confident that I would keep it secret.

In a way, it was an unreasonable move based on prestige.

Now, Aiden is revered as a hero by many people, including the people of the empire, so even the holy clans did not dare to treat Aiden carelessly.

Iden also knew this very well. I had to use what I could use.

I also wanted to handle matters related to Tyrun myself, but I didn’t have time to stop by the Holy Emperor’s Office. I decided to leave it to the church.

Finally, when I was writing the letter to send to the saint, I heard a knock on the door.

“Lord Aiden, I have brought you Prince.”

“Come in.”

Euron entered the office with a boy who appeared to be in his mid-teens.

He was the only remaining lineage of the Icelandic family.

His entire family, including his father, Youngju, were killed by vampires.

A scrawny boy with a scrawny body.

Although he did not have the appearance of an aristocrat, his eyes were alive.

Aiden stood up and shook hands.

“I am Paladin Iden.”

The boy bowed his head.

“This is Raphel von Iceland. On behalf of my family, I would like to express my gratitude for your kindness. Please show respect. “I am not qualified.”

Iden shook his head.

“Be aware of your position. From now on, I am the lord of this place.”

The boy looked at Iden with a puzzled face.

“How can I…”

“The covenant that your family made with His Majesty the late King remains intact. “You will have to fulfill your duty because you are the only one who can fulfill it.”

Rappel looked down at the floor with his fists clenched.

“What qualifications do I have to sit in that position?”

“The more you feel responsible, the more you cannot run away.”

There was nothing more to say than that. Whether it was to overcome and rebuild the family or to transfer the territory to another noble, it was up to the boy.

Aiden, however, felt some remorse for not being able to protect them as an official of the church, so he planned to provide at least some convenience.

“We will not collect donations in Iceland for the next five years.”

The denomination demands a huge amount of money. It was clearly irresponsible to leave the estate in this state after receiving it every year. No matter what excuse you give.

The boy bowed his head once again.

“······thank you. “I will never forget this grace.”

“It’s not a favor, so don’t think about repaying it and just take care of the citizens.”

Iden left the tearful boy behind and looked at Euron.

“You must now deliver these documents to the empire and the Holy Empire. “No one should ever read the letter delivered to the saint.”

“understand. But won’t the Lord go with you?”

“I have some business to attend to.”

At that time, someone opened the office door and came in.

“I will get better!”

It was Daryl.

“A paladin has arrived outside. “It looks like he’s the paladin the bloodbaby mentioned.”

Aiden immediately picked up the holy sword.

“Please hold off on sending documents to the Emperor Euron for a while.”
