Dark Fantasy Paladin Chapter 45

Episode 45

Inyoung, who was crossing the huge tree, disappeared in an instant.

Immediately after, Siron and Jude’s conversation cooled down. At the moment when a shiver ran down my spine, something passed between the two.

I couldn’t react.

A silver afterimage passed by them and mounted Aiden’s horse. I could barely even keep up with that movement.

Because the Execution Unit were the most elite combatants, their ability to estimate the capabilities of their opponents was also excellent.

They had the same thought at the same time.

An entity that cannot be subdued with current power.

Siron recalled Iden’s warning. ‘Do not show your passion for beasts.’ It was absurd.

She also knew how to discern between right and wrong. Before she could even swing the ax, she was torn to pieces.

But things were a little different now.

The beast was targeting Iden. At least that’s how it seemed to them.

I couldn’t let the hero die like that. Also, we should not have lost our leader before starting the mission.

Siron chewed his lips. Just as I was about to grab the halberd, Iden, who was leading the horse, shouted.

“Stay still!”

The nine-tailed fox stuck out its head and looked at the saints. I had no choice but to understand the meaning of not being fooled by appearances.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a work of art created by God with the theme of beauty.

The stinging blue eye light grabbed their hearts tightly and did not let them go. The fear of predators consumed my appreciation of beauty.

“It’s an order!”

Jude and Siron had a brief conflict and then put down the weapons they were holding. I had no choice but to trust Aiden. It was an unpleasant feeling of helplessness.

The nine-tailed fox sat upright again and stared at Aiden. He smiled and opened his mouth without wavering on the galloping horse.

“I guess Jaedeul is precious to you.”

The beautiful eyes, innocent tone, and disgusting face made the emotions that Iden had been suppressing soar.

He turned his horse’s head roughly and changed his route.

“Go to your destination! I will follow you!”

I ran straight up the steep downhill and headed back down the valley. After increasing the distance from the Aspects for a long time, Petra stopped.

The nine-tailed fox took out a comb from its arms. He straightened his tangled hair and smiled charmingly.

“Aiden, did you come find me?”

“What a bitch.”

Iden tightly grasped the handle of the holy sword.

The nine-tailed fox’s hand that was brushing his teeth suddenly stopped. A bitter air flowed from his face.

“……Nope.”

Iden found her behavior heinous.

I really wanted to pull out my sword and cut him like this, but I knew I had no chance of winning.

The depressed nine-tailed fox found Aiden’s trembling hand and smiled slightly.

“But it looks like your anger has subsided a bit. You’re holding it in well, right? At that time, I was anxious because I couldn’t kill him.”

“I want to tear your bitch apart. If I could, I would crush that smooth face.”

When she made another sad expression, Iden frowned.

Those worldly-looking eyes were enough to arouse sympathy, but Aiden’s feelings were different.

It felt like an ugly mask.

Aiden managed to suppress his emotions and spoke.

“Looking at you bitch makes me sick. Let’s never see you again. Please just go.”

I hoped it would never appear in front of me. There was no way to kill him. Because now I won’t even be able to compete with you.

The nine-tailed fox stared at Aiden and slowly shook his head.

“I don’t like it. I would rather kill him than chase him.”

Iden looked straight into the blue eyes. At the same time, he pulled out the holy sword. I aimed for the neck and slashed horizontally, but it only cut through the air.

The nine-tailed fox jumped up and sat down on a tree branch.

Iden took the reins again. As he was about to leave, the nine-tailed fox’s miseong stopped him.

“…are they precious? Those from earlier.”

Aiden suddenly turned his head and glared at the nine-tailed fox. His face was distorted like a vicious beast.

The nine-tailed fox asked again in a calm voice.

“What would you do if I killed you?”

Aiden’s whole body was shaking. I wanted to twist his delicate neck.

It was really hard to hold on to reason, but I couldn’t let others die because of me. Just like back then.

I spoke as calmly as possible.

“Do it yourself. It doesn’t matter.”

The nine-tailed fox drew a bewitching eye smile.

“lie.”

Squirt! Gargantua shot the body. It broke tree branches and shattered rocks.

Before I knew it, the nine-tailed fox was in Aiden’s arms.

“Let’s talk. I’ll save Jane’s life instead. How about that?”

She suggested, looking up.

If you refuse, the Aspects will die. Blood flowed from my chewed lip.

“Don’t do that.”

The nine-tailed fox stretched out its hand to Aiden’s lips with a pitiful expression. Wow! said Iden, who immediately struck it down.

“Don’t touch me,”

she smiled bitterly, cupping her hand. Then he asked again.

“So are you going to do it? Talk.”

There was no choice. This woman’s words do not end with threats.

When Aiden said nothing, the nine-tailed fox nodded and smiled softly.

“It’s really hard to have a conversation. We didn’t do this… we loved each other, right?”

Iden frowned.

“Do you want to talk bullshit?”

He shook his head as if it wasn’t her. I sat down gently on a nearby rock.

He stared at Aiden, then stopped laughing and spoke seriously.

“I was wrong. Please forgive me.”

Aiden laughed.

“Forgiveness? How could I?”

For Aiden, it was a memory that remained as vivid as if it had happened a long time ago.

The castle turned into a sea of blood, the screams of the people of the burning territory, the screams of women, the cries of newborns.

I clearly saw that innocent face trampling on innocent lives without mercy.

The pure white hands even killed newborn babies by tearing them in half.

Also, all those misfortunes came from Aiden.

I shouldn’t have picked up the baby nine-tailed fox and should have left it to die. The excuse of doing something for the future gave birth to such a monster.

Iden couldn’t forgive himself.

The nine-tailed fox spoke in a calm voice.

“Then who should I ask for forgiveness from? Bacheksar? You don’t even trust him anyway.”

“You don’t feel guilty at all. I don’t know why you’re having this meaningless conversation in the first place.”

I did something wrong so please forgive me. The words that came out of that mouth were definitely not lies. Because the mind’s eye decided. However, it probably did not stem from remorse.

The nine-tailed fox nodded.

“Yes, I admit it. I don’t feel the slightest guilt, then or now. But is that strange? Just like you eat cows and pigs, humans are the same to me. Since I was born, I have never once eaten a person. Because the beings I love are humans.”

She looked straight into Iden’s eyes.

“My only fault is that I hurt my lover. Who else should I ask for forgiveness but you?”

It sounded very selfish to Aiden.

“The innocent people you killed ended up dying because of me. But forgive you? That means forgiving myself. That’s impossible, so get out of here. Stop talking bullshit.”

The nine-tailed fox frowned slightly.

“False accusation? The creatures returned your favor with vengeance. Just because you went with me. You know that, right? I don’t even know why they protect you.”

There was a territory that Iden liberated from demons. The lord of the place saw the fox cub’s true appearance and reported the fact to the nearby parish office.

They say the paladin goes with Ain.

This was the beginning of the nine-tailed fox’s massacre. They swept away all the religious territories, villages, guilds, etc. located in the area and dried up the seeds of humanity.

The intention was not to leave behind a single piece of evidence.

There were no survivors. No one can escape the sense of smell that detects all living things within a radius of several tens of kilometers.

Aiden could not stop it. Because I was helpless.

The emotions I felt while walking through the ruins began to vividly emerge.

Guilt, anger, helplessness, frustration, deep despair… … .

I felt sick to my stomach.

The nine-tailed fox opened its mouth.

“I did it for you. I was afraid you’d get hurt.”

Aiden was speechless.

“They say evidence stays everywhere and revenge follows. That’s what you humans said. I’ve known that essence since birth. I just broke the chain. I’ll be honest with you, even if I go back to the past, I’ll kill everyone.”

Iden felt dizzy. What is the point of having this conversation? It was already irreversible and there was no way to atone.

He said as if sighing.

“…Okay, let’s stop.”

The nine-tailed fox looked at Aiden with a lonely expression.

“Aiden, please understand me a little. The only people who are important to me are you and me.”

“I don’t value you at all. I regret saving you in the past, so much so that I’m going crazy. Even now.”

“It’s a lie. But why doesn’t the church come after me?”

“It’s for me.”

Gumiho shook his head.

“No? No matter what the cult catches me and does, I won’t call your name. You know that well.”

“I don’t know and I don’t care.”

“You still love me too. A creature that has sex with a nine-tailed fox will never be freed from its emotions. It’s an unwritten rule. Don’t fool yourself.”

It was true. Iden still loved and hated the nine-tailed fox

.

However, I was able to cut her down regardless of my emotions.

It was the result of investing so many points in mental strength.

The reason for not reporting the nine-tailed fox to the church was a kind of rationalization for atonement.

Because I could hold on only if I believed that as many lives as that woman had killed, I could save more lives.

And in a way, it was true. The role played by the nine-tailed fox in the second half was very large. Even if we are not on the same side as Iden.

The nine-tailed fox got up from the rock. He slowly approached me with an earnest expression on his face.

“So, Iden. Let’s go back to how we used to be. Look, we still have one tail. We haven’t mixed bodies with anyone. What kind of nine-tailed fox could do that? I’m having a hard time.”

Iden turned his back on the approaching woman.

“The conversation is over. Keep your promise.”

A mournful sigh was heard.

The moment he was about to climb Petra, a pure white arm slowly wrapped around Aiden’s side.

Because I wasn’t wearing holy armor because of my mission, the feel of it was still conveyed.

For a moment, my body became stiff and my mind became agitated.

Aiden immediately denied it and tried to rip off his arm, but it wouldn’t budge.

“Let’s just stay like this for a little while. I’ll be satisfied with this for today.”

She hugged her a little tighter. A calm voice was heard.

“My heart is racing.”

The moment Iden was about to swear, a chill ran down his spine and spread throughout his body.

A sniffing sound was heard.

“That’s strange.”

The voice was somewhat subdued.

The nine-tailed fox pressed its nose to Aiden’s body and began to climb up Aiden’s back, shoulders, and neck, step by step.

The pressure tightening around my body becomes stronger. The breath tickled my ear, passing through Aiden’s bread and coming closer to my lips.

Silver hair flowed down Aiden’s cheeks. Their eyes finally met and her nose touched Aiden’s lips.

“Female scent.”

Suddenly, a cold voice came out. The air around me was frozen cold.

The nine-tailed fox’s face hardened like wax.

“……Can you explain?”

Yuriel suddenly came to mind.

“No, don’t do it. I’m just going to find him and kill him.”

At that moment, a familiar voice rang out from the bedrock of the valley.

“castle Bacheksar.”

Jude’s sacred spell. Aiden’s expression crumpled. White light appeared in all directions.

“Allow us to exterminate the beast.”

A huge calculation formula made up of misshapen typefaces was spread out above Aiden’s head. He lost.

Siron burst into laughter. He raised two huge halberds.

“Lord Aiden!”

The nine-tailed fox glanced at Shiron running away and then turned his head back to Aiden.

“I’m not that little bitch. Then who is it?”
