Paladin in Dark Fantasy - Paladin in Dark Fantasy chapter 93
Episode 93 .
Aiden walked between the followers lined up on the left and right. With every step, prayers or praises burst forth incessantly. They praised Aiden and wished for the peace of the empire and the revival of the family.
In the midst of such a blessing, Aiden checked the status window. Divine power soaring steeply. Noble hypocrisy has been overtaken by awe and envy.
It’s been a long time since I surpassed the highest rank, but it seems that there is still room for growth. Current levels are no longer converted into grades or figures.
It was a pretty satisfactory achievement. Iden, who had been scanning the air, stopped in his tracks. At the end of the hall, in front of the entrance to the corridor, I turned my head back.
The princess and Yuriel stood side by side, looking at Iden.
Aiden exchanged glances with Yuriel. Suppressing the awkwardness as much as possible, he opened his mouth.
“Uriel, follow me. I have a place to go.”
It was much more uncomfortable for Aiden to talk inappropriately to Yuriel than to treat the princess. I’ll have to get used to it
Yuriel smiled brightly and walked away. For some reason, the princess followed after her, who seemed happy.
Of the two facing Iden, the princess spoke first.
“Seonghwangguk is preparing for the Ascension Ceremony. Head straight ahead.”
Aiden shook his head.
“There are many things to prioritize. The ceremony is postponed until later.”
There was a high probability that it was not even properly prepared in the first place. The Ascension Ceremony is an event that recognizes someone as a god, and it was a ceremony that had never been performed in an empire that believed in a single god.
They must be preparing procedures and methods from the ground up.
If he headed to the church now, he might be stranded for several months.
The princess responded to Iden’s refusal in a calm voice.
“If you come, I will tell you to prepare slowly.”
As a church, it was better. Since it’s a historical ceremony, it shouldn’t be lax. There was absolutely no need to rush.
Aiden nodded and opened his mouth.
“Do it. I just need to go Talk to us anytime if you need help. At least I will attend the coronation ceremony.”
It had a political meaning. In front of numerous dignitaries, Aiden nailed her as the next emperor. In the yard where even Vacheksar was recognized as a Bible, the legitimacy of Rappelia was becoming very solid.
As soon as Aiden finished speaking, several nobles frowned. It seemed that not all of the people gathered here were from the princess.
The princess replied with a smile.
“It is truly an honor. His Holiness Taekwang.”
“Okay, see you next time.”
Aiden made his way through the ecliptic.

The Holy Spear Gargantua and the horse Petra were well recovered. Aiden only took those two and rejected all the other favors.
Gorgeous clothes and platinum carriages. And the numerous guards and servants were of no particular use to Aiden. It only hindered his progress.
A single horse and reliable armament were enough.
bright daylight. Aiden was speeding across the open plains. Yuriel, who sat in the front seat, leaned his back against Aiden. It became the appearance of being held in arms.
I couldn’t help it because of Petra’s speed. Because it was difficult to withstand the raging wind pressure.
Aiden spoke in her ear as he rode on.
“I will be staying at Valenstalga Sanctuary for a while. I heard that it is almost completed, but it will be more inconvenient than the Vatican. Can you bear with me for a little while?”
Unlike Iden, Uriel didn’t have the energy to have a conversation on top of a galloping horse. He just nodded.
Iden was again.
“If possible, invite the Sword Saint to Sachili.”
I was thinking of making him a special task force instructor. Of course, I didn’t mean to forcefully demand it. However, the old man would not refuse Uriel’s request.
“And my saintess does not have to give up her last name. You are Uriel Sachilier again from now on.”
It was a way to use the power of the Duke of Sachilier. The great family was the most prestigious and warlord in the empire, and could serve as a reliable rear for Aiden.
Uriel silently expressed his agreement.
In this and other ways, Aiden planned to develop the Sanctuary of Valenstalga. We also had to keep recruiting talent.
The sanctuary will be the outpost for the demonic conquest. That was the reason he went to meet the spirit Elquidora.
It steals the spirit of the eastern part of the Empire and breathes life into the Giant’s Forest. As a result of that reaction, the eastern part becomes more and more devastated and the forest grows thicker.
Iden was able to use Elguitora’s ability. I thought of stealing it from the Devil’s Realm and filling the sanctuary. Saya should have made an appointment with the spirit, so Aiden should head straight to the World Tree.
Besides, there was one more thing to look forward to.
Yupe. It’s been over a month since Gu Xian’s been feeding Magi. It was good to look forward to the majesty of the Heavenly Demon.
From the moment flight is possible, it will be much easier to organize the continent.
Aiden gladly rode the horse.

A passage from the Bible came to Euron’s mind.
‘Misfortune comes without a warning.’
It was a phrase that really fit the current situation.
everything was perfect After winning the Winter War, the lord he had been serving ascended to the new throne, and he was living a life with a goal by liquidating the past that was a waste.
It’s been two years since I met Aiden. I was frustrated by my weakness, but I never felt as unhappy as before. Rather happy.
one didn’t last long Now, tragedy visited him again without even a hint. No, Euron walked on his feet.
The foot of the mountain is densely covered with giant trees. In the darkness where even the sunlight couldn’t penetrate, Euron swallowed dry saliva.
Following Uriel’s order, he came to the Giant’s Forest. Shiron was safe and Yupe became the unicorn’s heavenly horse. The beautiful nine-tailed fox was a little frightened, but it didn’t bother him too much. I was just staring at him like a bug.
Anyway, there was no place to feel the tension. All he had to do was wait for his master.
I fell asleep thinking about that, and when I opened my eyes again, I was standing here alone.
Also, he was facing the devil.
An existence that cannot even exchange glances. A presence so far away squeezed Euron’s heart. It was not a demon that could be seen on the continent.
It was because he was the great devil, Gusian.
An ugly red eye occupied half of his head. He looked at Euron and slowly opened his mouth.
“Hey, don’t give me advice. It is not a hallucination now.”
Euron had read him several times in the Bible. The source of ‘despair’ dealing with hallucinations. So even this must be false.
Magi, whom Yufe missed, must have created this phenomenon. Euron believed so.
he said looking down at the ground. I was so afraid that I couldn’t bear to face him.
“······dog sound. I know it’s an illusion.”
A cold laugh followed.
“The authority of this body has fallen. It must be because of the hateful scriptures. Are you willing to tell lies to the likes of you?”
was claiming to be real. Euron bit his lip and said.
“Devils cannot cross the divine barrier encircled by the Demonic Realm. You can’t be here.”
“Common sense. However, this body is the great devil who has lived for 300 years. He’s the main culprit of always destroying your common sense. In a way, doesn’t the fact that you are standing here go against common sense?”
Euron turned his back, ignoring his words. I was thinking of going back to the original cave.
Gu Xian’s voice continued.
“Think about it. How can the likes of you be with Tae-gwang? It’s really unreasonable.”
Of course, Euron was well aware of this. That’s why I’ve been training with blood and sweat, and I’m in the process of breaking down my own wall.
“Like this, common sense always breaks down. Take the current situation in that context. This body exists here. Now, remember. I have revealed the truth.”
Even while his hair was white, Euron thought as much as he could. How to get out of Guxian’s hallucination. It was the only way to endure the pain. maybe.
He wasn’t…
I had to endure one. The moment you beg for your life, it will disgrace Aiden’s face.
Euron, who had been estranged from Gu Xian, made up his mind. To face the devil, I immediately turned around again. His eyes were burning with determination.
However, Gu Xian was nowhere to be found. I looked around quickly, but I couldn’t even sense a presence. The forest was just silent.
‘what···’
My lips started to dry out. It looked like it would come from behind and tear off your arms and pluck out your eyeballs.
Extreme tension began to block Euron’s airways. The breathtaking time continued endlessly.
However, nothing happened. The forest was still enveloped in silence.
Immediately after recognizing that it was a little strange, the four trilogy. The sound of stepping on leaves came from behind.
I turned my head around. There was a nine-tailed fox with a blue haze. In the dark, cool eye light flowed down like smoke.
she opened her mouth
“Why are you here? Little girl, I told you to watch.”
Euron immediately drew his sword. A translucent aura wrapped around the sword body. Vibration was low.
“You devil, if you want to come in, come!”
Saya wrinkled her brow.
“······what?”
Euron silently grabbed the hilt. His hands trembled.
The moment Saya’s expression cooled down, Euron kicked the ground first.
The distance was shortened in an instant by footwork. I stabbed the knife at the pure white neckline.
As soon as they touched, Saya roughly bounced off the blade with the back of her hand. Teeing! The knife flew helplessly and became lodged in a tree.
He immediately grabbed Euron’s neck.
“I’m annoyed…”
The sparring that the old man named Geomseong and this little boy exchanged every day. Saya thought that Euron was asking for it as well.
If it wasn’t for Iden, I would have torn him to pieces.
I looked straight into Euron’s eyes. But it was a bit strange. Because there was more resolution than necessary. Also, there was extreme fear.
After thinking for a moment, Saya loosened her grip slightly. then said
“What do you mean?”
“Joe, do what you like.”
Saya really felt like her patience was being tested to the limit. I didn’t know if I would kill him if I faced him like this.
He threw it to the floor and let out a deep sigh. Enduring the soaring intent to kill, he passed Euron.
Euron acted out of fear to overcome his fear.
“Gusian! You sick bastard! The runaway tail is funny!”
Saya stopped walking. I looked to the side.
“In other words.”
Euron glared at Saya without answering. She frowned as if she was frustrated.
“I heard it was Gusian. that’s right?”
“Oh, no matter what form you appear in, I won’t be fooled.”
Saya felt a sense of incongruity for a moment. Right after that, he flew up without looking back. We headed for the cave, crossing the giant trees at full speed.
In addition to Euron, the smell of Daryl, Sane, Jonah, and Gielan was felt nearby.
It meant that only Shiron remained in the cave. I don’t know if it’s Gusian’s hallucination or what, but they seemed to have been brought here like Euron.
Finally, Saya stopped in front of a huge cave. A keen sense of smell began to sound the alarm. nasty stench. It was disguised as a lot of smells, but it was definitely the reverberation of the devil.
The blue vigor was pushed into the cave. The dark son-in-law came to light and Saya felt miserable.
I saw Yufe lying down and convulsing. Shiron, who was tied right next to him, was facing the hideous demon.
Gu Xian looked at Saya and smiled. It wasn’t a hallucination. Like Fenrir, Saya knew it well because she had absolute immunity to the mental system.
The Great Devil stepped on the continent. And he stretched out his hand toward Shiron.
Immediately after touching it, Shiron’s eyes began to turn red. He easily tore the restraints made of energy and stared at Saya.
Goo Xian looked at him happily.
“Now, where is Taekwang?”
