Dark Fantasy Paladin

Dark Fantasy Paladin Chapter 26

Episode 26.

“Paradise, it would be better to walk from here.”

It was a man who was riding a horse with Iden.

The entrance to the manor came into view, but there was nothing special about it.

I could feel the presence of people in the snow-covered village, and I even saw some livestock in the pastures.

Areas occupied by demons usually have corpses on the streets or are covered in dark demonic energy, but not here.

The exterior was extremely ordinary.

It meant that vampires were controlling the human population. So that the seeds don’t dry out.

Since the controlling one was a high-ranking devil and his intelligence tended to be higher, Iden also felt the need to be nervous.

“Let’s walk from here.”

We stopped at a hill a little away from the village entrance. They tied Petra under a large snow tree and removed the gags from the vampires’ mouths.

“If you make a sound, I will kill you in as painful a way as possible.”

The two vampires had already confirmed Aiden’s powerlessness. I knew full well that the moment I tried to scream and call my colleagues, I could be killed.

Iden asked in a low voice.

“Tell me your master’s name.”

There was no answer back. As Aiden grabbed his neck, the other one hurriedly responded.

“The ban is on.”

If he was able to engrave a gold medal, he was truly not an opponent to be trifled with.

‘I understand why Tyrun ran away.’

It was rare for a paladin in the early stages to be defeated by a demon.

This is because it was no problem at all to slaughter most demons with just the skills gained after passing the ordeal.

But he lost. It meant that the other person went beyond the ordinary.

There were a few things that would have prevented me from walking confidently through the front door and smashing his head.

When asked about the detailed structure of the lord’s castle and the escape route, the vampires did not give an answer.

It was like killing him.

Just as I was thinking about torturing him, Euron approached me.

“I learned something from Inquisitor Lord Iden.”

Come to think of it, Xerath told Euron several things.

“Would you please leave it to me?”

I wondered what he would do with that simple face, but his expression was serious, so I gave him permission.

Euron tied the two vampires tightly with chains.

“Please follow me Darryl.”

“Well, just do it here.”

“Wouldn’t it have a negative impact on people’s emotions?”

Daryl took one look at Sein and cleared his throat.

“Okay, whatever. “Let’s see what our noble master can do.”

“New recruits have no status.”

“Yes yes. Let’s go now. “I’ll get better.”

The two bickered and disappeared into the forest.

Iden called out to the biggest vigilante.

“What did you say your name was?”

“This is Lark. “There is no last name.”

“Okay, Lark. Have you ever encountered a pureblood?”

“Oh my, I see him every day.”

Iden nodded.

“Then describe the exterior.”

“But… it changed every time I saw it. It was a woman, it was a man. Sometimes, it turned into a large bat and flew around the territory.”

The vampire that Lark spoke of had the characteristics of a pureblood.

However, pure-blooded vampires were high-ranking demons that could not exist on the continent.

Even in the Demonic World, they are considered nobles and do not respond to the summons of the Demon God Cult.

Additionally, the sacred barrier surrounding the continent was fatal to high-ranking demons, so purebloods could not directly cross over to the continent.

There was only one answer.

‘Natural molting object.’

He was a vampire who gained powers by continuously sucking human blood for at least 100 years.

Like the first bloodlines, they could make humans their subjects and sow their own seeds, but that did not mean they were purebloods.

They called him a mutant.

Vampire society was strict. Purebloods did not view mutants on the same level as themselves.

It was normal to keep him as a close associate.

Whatever it is, the fact that mutants are strong and different from ordinary demons does not change.

You should never leave it alone. It was clear that if he expanded his power, it would become a big obstacle.

Suspicion about Tyrun suddenly crossed my mind.

Why didn’t you report it to the church?

Is it just because they don’t want to be labeled a fugitive? It was a really trivial reason, but it was better than Iden’s guess.

Iden’s face scrunched up and Lark was startled.

“······My mistake.”

“no.”

Just then, Euron and Daryl returned. Daryl’s face turned a little pale. I thought he would start talking as soon as he arrived, but for some reason he kept his mouth shut.

“Sir Iden, I heard everything. “I’ve put my life on the line, so what can I do?”

The two chained dogs had colorless pupils. I felt empty, as if I had lost my will.

“Not required.”

Black blood suddenly splashed onto the snow.

They too were once human.

However, unlike people addicted to demonic energy, vampires were beings who voluntarily abandoned their humanity.

The standard for giving blood to mutants or purebloods was the size of the target’s desire.

It was unclear why the dead became vampires, but they were not subjects of salvation.

Purification was impossible in the first place. Even with the power of the saint and Yupe.

Iden looked at Euron.

“I heard there is a way to sneak in?”

“They said there was a cave connecting the dungeon and the outdoors. “It was dug by vampires in case of an emergency.”

They probably tried to use it as an escape route when the cult invaded. Aiden was planning to use it in reverse.

“Where is it?”

“I put it in.”

“Good job.”

The corner of Euron’s mouth twitched, but he quickly became serious.

“It was my job to do.”

He has been imitating adults these days. I didn’t even know he was imitating Iden.

Sein burst out laughing.

“It doesn’t suit you.”

Euron scratched his head and cleared his throat. Daryl sighed and looked at Iden.

“Would you like to come in right away?”

“no. “We move after completely blocking their escape route.”

Things get in trouble when the mutant turns into a bat and flies into the sky. The possibility of failure had to be ruled out as much as possible.

“We must build a barrier around the castle before the sun sets. “I don’t know if it’s possible.”

“Five… no. “Four hours is enough.”

The 10-year-old was very capable. Aiden nodded and continued.

“Is there a specific time for sending out 100,000 people?”

“there is. “They usually eat at midnight, so they gather people at the Lord’s Hall about an hour before that.”

“All?”

“Most people gather.”

Rather, it was good. There was no better place to hide than the crowd.

Iden wore a black cloak over her holy armor.

“i get it. Now let’s move slowly.”

He went around the outskirts of the castle, drew a barrier ceremony, and under cover of night infiltrated the cave connected to the dungeon.

*

Humans moved in rows between torches placed sparsely under the thick darkness.

It was a procession moving to the Great Hall in the courtyard of the Yeongju Castle.

Despair and fear were clearly visible on people’s faces.

But no one cried. Even children were holding back tears as they were held tightly in their parents’ arms.

This was because the devil who ruled this place hated loud noises.

Those who cried or begged for mercy were flayed alive. In front of everyone.

The devil’s cruelty does not discriminate between men and women of all ages, so parents walked down the street nervously, fearing that their children might cry.

Dozens of people will bleed today, and at least three of them will die.

People prayed that the misfortune would avoid them.

Iden and the group were in the middle of the procession.

I wanted to disarm all of my weapons if possible, but since the opponent was my opponent, I had to do my best in battle, so I couldn’t bear to leave them behind.

Aiden walked with her legs bent, hiding her sex armor under the black fur that covered her lower body.

Because he could have been suspected because of his size.

“Move quickly!”

Several vampires came and went, controlling people. He was like a shepherd herding a flock of sheep.

Lark, who was standing next to Aiden, whispered quietly.

“It is bright inside the hall. “They will probably be suspicious of the Holy Knight.”

It would have been nice if I could get in.

“Does not matter. “It’s better than that.”

“yes.”

Sein, who was walking ahead, answered quietly.

“Can you narrow the barrier?”

“It is possible. “The moment we build it, the range will be pulled around the hall.”

The barrier that Sein would hit was a barrier that only blocked the devil. Since humans can pass through, people can just leave the hall right away.

Euron and Daryl evacuated the people, and Iden planned to slaughter all the gathered demons.

Even if I missed a few, I had to kill at least a few mutants. If you keep him alive, the vampires will continue to fight.

We soon reached the entrance to the hall.

Inside, people were lined up in rows and rows.

A crowd filled the huge hall. However, the inside was deathly quiet.

People were trembling as they looked down at the ground.

Sein passed through the entrance, followed by Iden and Lark. Finally, Daryl and Euron entered the hall.

Iden looked everywhere with his eyes.

There were only small children walking around giggling, but there were no mutants in sight.

Lark said in a low voice.

“They will show up only when all the people are in.”

After a while, the door to the hall slammed shut. People trembled.

“Now, stand up straight! “Hold your head up!”

A demon with a strangely distorted face held a ledger in his hand and began counting the number of people.

Several vampires were wandering through the crowd, searching for today’s meal.

“You forward.”

A woman and a father who were shaking from nervousness were singled out. A disabled old man was dragged away like a dog.

The woman got down on her knees and prayed silently, but was kicked in the stomach and flipped over, screaming.

Still, he didn’t scream.

The seeker of destruction went into a fit of madness. But not yet.

The devil who was counting tilted his head.

“Why are there so many?”

“No way. “The ones who ran away today didn’t come back.”

“If you count them too, the numbers are completely wrong?”

They counted the number of people again, but they still didn’t hit us.

Before I knew it, the vampire that had been hunting for food was approaching the row where Iden was standing.

Lark was very nervous and took a deep breath.

As he passed them by one by one and stopped right in front of Aiden, the vampire narrowed his eyes.

“Why is this so big? hey! “Come here.”

The guy who was writing down the ledger suddenly came running towards me.

“They said the number wasn’t right. “Has there ever been a guy like this?”

“Lift up your face.”

Iden raised his head and faced the demon.

The two guys looked around at Iden.

“Oh, I don’t know. “There are so many human babies that you can tell them apart by looking at their faces.”

He also touched my face. Iden felt like he was going crazy.

If I hadn’t developed patience with Daryl, I wouldn’t have been able to survive. I was grateful to him.

The vampire smiled darkly and looked at Iden.

“But look at this guy’s face. “You’re expressing on your face that you really want to go after it?”

Dirty fingernails slowly scratched Aiden’s cheek. Blood leaked out.

Daryl and Euron felt sorry for the vampire.

At that time, someone appeared on the podium. It was a man with a wine glass in his hand, looking very stylish.

There was something red in the glass, but I couldn’t tell if it was blood or wine.

The vampires kneeled at the same time.

ㅡMeeting Brunu.

Aiden wiped the blood from his cheek and slowly took off his fur.

“Hit the three barriers.”
