Dark Fantasy Paladin

Dark Fantasy Paladin Chapter 24

Episode 24.

There was a streak of incontinence on the outside of the egg.

A bright ray of light flowed through the gap, illuminating the hall.

A tip protruded from the crack. Aiden’s expression brightened and soon spread into a smile.

This is because Shinsu pried open the egg and revealed his true face.

A white horse foal with a pair of small wings sprouting from its back and a horn that shines like gold on its forehead.

Arhaan let out a laugh as if it was absurd.

“It’s a mutation. “It looks like Bacheksar really chose you.”

In the original work, it was a divine beast that hatched with a very extreme probability.

This guy didn’t have the unicorn’s nature to carry only virgins on his back.

It did not have the Pegasus instinct to frantically absorb its master’s divine power.

The creature that combined the strengths of the Unicorn and the Heavenly Demon was ‘Unipeg’.

Unipeg, like a unicorn, feeds on demons and purifies demon energy with its horn.

Also, like Pegasus, it raced across the sky.

The highest level divine beast that Iden was secretly looking forward to. Of course, the birth of Unipeg was a wish that was buried in a corner of my heart because it was a luck that went beyond chance and was close to impossible.

But it became reality.

I couldn’t tell if it was just luck or if there was another reason, but I was very satisfied.

The palm-sized guy looked up at Iden with bright eyes.

Aiden held the Unipeg with both hands. I manually wiped away the slime that had stuck to the guy’s body.

Kiing kiing. The boy cried happily and snuggled into Aiden’s arms.

“I will get better. I thought these animals were creatures from mythology. “Just once…”

Daryl widened his eyes and stretched out his hand.

Then, Unipeg, who had been obedient, suddenly changed and bit Daryl’s finger.

Ah ahhh!

Red blood flowed from Daryl’s index finger. Heroic Spirit Arhan scoffed and clicked his tongue at that sight.

“You’re so retarded that you’re not good enough. Unipegs must never be touched by anyone other than the owner. Be thankful you found out before he grew up. Otherwise, my hand would have been cut off.”

Daryl raised his eyebrows at Arhan’s somewhat harsh remarks.

“imbecility? After being buried underground for 200 years, it seems that even the brain has fermented. Or is it just that our noble salted fish hero tends to speak rudely without thinking through his brain?”

Arhaan’s expression was distorted.

“This is outrageous! Do you know who this body is and talk like that? No matter how cheap it may be, does this mean that you are an ignorant fool who has never read a single line of the Bible? “This body…”

“Both are noisy.”

Aiden poured cold water on him and approached Arhaan.

“I have one more thing for you.”

Arhaan’s expression sank slightly.

“······What do you mean?”

“It is absolutely necessary. Please. Instead, I will forever keep quiet about the location of this ruin and your existence. I will continue to take care of you and Sertia so that they can live together for a hundred years. “If you want, I will swear right here.”

Arhaan smiled a subtle smile.

“What do you know?”

“It’s prohibited. “If you speak out, you will die instantly.”

He paused, looking at Aiden. And then again a little while later.

“Is that oath to Bacheksar?”

“That can’t be possible.”

“Ha, it looks like you know something.”

“So please. “Anyway, it’s worthless to you now.”

“But it’s not something you can just throw away without receiving anything in return.”

“Tell me what you want.”

Arhaan smoothed his chin.

“Oaths are, of course, basic. And when you reach your goal, do not forget me.”

“Is that enough?”

“no way.”

Arhaan looked at Sein.

“Young wizard, create a body to contain me and Sertia. “I have so much time, I can wait forever.”

Iden was a little embarrassed. Because it was an unexpected request.

Before Aiden could open his mouth, Sein quickly nodded.

She wanted to do whatever she could to help Iden.

“I will work hard and make it happen. Please believe me.”

“Okay, don’t take promises lightly. “I will definitely accept it.”

Arhaan looked at Aiden and grinned.

“This is the end of my condition.”

Soon, a bead the size of a fingernail fell on Aiden.

“Take it.”

Aiden put the marble in his arms.

“I will do whatever it takes to accommodate your request.”

“That will have to do.”

Except for this one, the other heroes’ ruins had already been ravaged by adventuring grave robbers.

This was the case for most ruins other than the deep-sea Atlantis or the demonic world.

If Iden reveals Arhan’s palace to the public, the same will happen here.

I had no intention of leaving it like that.

Iden wrapped the unipeg in fur, folded the holy spear Gargantua in half, and carried it on her back.

It was a waste to throw away the window I had been using for two years, so I kept it for now.

“I promise. And I guess I’ll just have to go.”

“As a distant senior, I will give you some advice. If possible, don’t walk in the dark. “There is a reason why we were kicked out.”

Iden also had no intention of going to the Demon World for the time being. If suicide was the goal, there were many convenient ways.

Iden nodded and gestured to Sein and Daryl.

Sertia bowed deeply and greeted.

“I will remember this favor forever, Aiden. May there be light on your path.”

“Hmph, what is grace? “We just gave each other back and forth.”

This time, Iden also agreed with Arhan’s words. All they had to do was exchange something they needed.

“Please live happily with Arhaan.”

Then he took a step forward.

*

Euron swung his sword in the middle of a snowy field.

Just two moves. Vertical cuts and frontal thrusts were repeated countless times.

Every time Euron sliced a snowflake with his knife, the sharp whip also dug into his skin.

“You stupid bastard. “After saying so much, how can there be no progress?”

“I’m sorry!”

Snap Gielan struck his wrist with the whip. It felt like all my frozen skin was being torn off.

Slap, slap, slap.

There was no end. When I cut the knife from top to bottom, my thigh hurt, and when I stabbed it straight in, my wrist screamed.

Even as hours passed, the interval between caning did not decrease.

Gielan shook his head.

“There is no Dunjae like Dunjae. If you do it all day long, your body will only suffer. You can’t do it if you can’t do it. “Just come in.”

After saying that, the Sword Saint went into the cabin.

Euron clenched his teeth and continued to repeat the movement.

Even though the snow was getting stronger and my skin was burning, there was no way I could go into the cabin.

If you have no talent, you make up for it with effort. If a genius swings it 10 times, wouldn’t he be able to achieve at least half of that if he repeats it 1,000 times?

With that in mind, I moved my body.

As time passed and dusk fell, Euron felt his mind becoming increasingly dizzy.

‘Come to your senses.’

I took a deep breath and leaned back, and my vision gradually became blurred.

As soon as I saw a group approaching from the direction where the sun was setting in the distance, my mind suddenly came to a halt.

I fell straight into the snow.

“Isn’t that Euron?”

Aiden, who had good eyesight, already knew.

“right.”

“Hey old man. I couldn’t stand it anymore and caught another kid. Ugh.”

“Go and help him and bring him inside.”

“I understand.”

Daryl rushed over and took Euron into the cabin.

Sein made a pitiful expression.

“My grandfather did this too much. really.”

“That’s the old man’s way. From what I can see, you taught it properly.”

Gielan was a monster who achieved the Sword Saint Rank with only two moves.

This was the reason why people ranked Gielan higher than the sword master of Marquis Sacillier.

Of course, since we didn’t compete, it wasn’t an objective decision.

“But that’s too reckless.”

“There are things that even a genius cannot understand. “If it’s okay with Euron, there’s no need to stop him.”

Aiden said it without much meaning, but Sein felt pricked for some reason.

“······I will work hard.”

Iden stroked Sein’s head.

“Yes, if you even try, Kadak will cry too.”

“Hehe, I can’t imagine you crying, but… I’ll try my best.”

We had already arrived at the cabin. When I opened the door, there was a rush of heat.

“Wow, I brought a strange guy with me.”

Gielan felt the energy of Unipeg and stuck out his tongue.

The colt popped its head out of Aiden’s arms.

“Your eyes are so sparkly.”

Daryl chuckled.

“Please don’t even think about touching me carelessly. “It still makes me feel numb because he has a very unusual temperament.”

“You poor bastard. It looks like you somehow touched the divine beast. “Ugh, where should I put this image?”

“No, from earlier…”

“I have something to tell you, sir.”

Iden put Unipeg down on the floor and sat across from Gielan.

Gielan looked Aiden up and down.

“I never thought there would come a day in my life when I would be amazed by the achievements of others. “What on earth happened in the ruins?”

“It was a valuable time in many ways.”

The old man shook his head as if he was shocked. Then he glanced at Sein.

“That Ain?”

“It all ended well.”

Gielan swallowed relief.

“Yes, it was hard. But he said he had something to say.”

“There was a fight with a snow leopard on the way to the ruins.”

The old man made a puzzled expression.

“How did you come back alive?”

“It was not the Eucharist. “He didn’t know how to sign.”

Signification refers to the technique of transforming into the form of an animal.

“The problem you have is that the place where you encountered it is an area far from the depths of the Permanent Capricorn. “It’s actually closer to here.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Gielan’s expression darkened.

“Do you interpret this as snow leopards being pushed out of their habitat?”

“I don’t know for sure. However, you need to be prepared. I will report it separately to the church. “For now, the old man, just be aware of this fact.”

If snow leopards were truly driven out of their habitat, it meant that stronger individuals were dominating the deeper regions.

The predatory races of the Everlasting War never invade each other’s territories.

However, if that unwritten rule was broken, it was war. Therefore, if someone unites the demi-humans, that beast is called the Beast King.

Since the previous King of Beasts, which became the material for the holy spear Gargantua, the King of Beasts, who had not appeared even once for 200 years, might be reborn.

Even if it ends in rain, it is a movement that should never be overlooked. Since the plot always moves faster than the original, I was planning to prepare for Iden as well.

Gielan also nodded slowly as if he understood.

At that time, Unipeg whined and rubbed her body against Aiden’s leg.

“It’s begging for food to be put in its mouth. What should I do? Let’s see…”

“We only eat demons and the corpses of demons.”

“okay? “It seems he also has the temperament of a unicorn.”

Gielan took a map and put it on the table.

“The outskirts of the empire are overrun with demons. “Isn’t the northern part of the country in particular a land that the denomination has abandoned?”

He pointed to one place with his index finger.

“It’s a human farm. You should know better. The devil must be in control of one territory. Is it Tyrun? “That bastard went to subdue him, but lost all his recruits and gave up.”

It was the paladin who gave Iden the firestone.

Gielan glanced at Aiden again.

“But if you go, there won’t be any trouble.”

Aiden nodded and held Unipeg in his arms.

“let’s go eat.”
