Chapter 1482 – 1482. Paladin: A Journey to Ruin
“You threw away your weapon, Paladin!!”
As soon as Parason, a huge raven flapping its wings in the air, seized the opportunity, it descended upon the paladin. Its sharp beak, which can even chew steel, aims at the paladin’s back neck.
The paladin spun around him. He holds Pharah Son’s neck with his left hand, and holds his wings with his right hand.
“Even without a sword, I can kill you.”
Paladin gives power to his hand.
“Kaaaaagh!”
Parason screamed in pain. Blood gushed from his wings. The paladin covered his whole body with blood and continued to give him strength. Finally, the parason’s wings were completely ripped off and he fell to the ground.
The paladin grabbed his other wing and tore it off as before.
Parason, whose wings were all torn, trembled. It felt pitiful. Of course, without any sympathy, the paladin pulled the pharason’s neck and legs and tore them to death.
The hail guide baron looked at the paladin with a stiff expression.
The ignorant power to tear demons alive and the divine power to the point of evaporating one’s own magic.
It was unexpected.
Valentier’s paladins have already reached maturity.
Cold sweat flows
‘Not even three months have passed since he received the revelation. But how did you get stronger so fast? Unbelievable… !’
He will have tricks he doesn’t know about.
‘Can I become that strong even with tricks?’
Dangerous.
The paladin in front of you is more dangerous than any paladin you’ve ever seen. This paladin will become stronger than it is now, and will become strong enough to threaten the Archdemon. The Great Devil was the heart and future of the devil. You must kill the paladin in front of you today.
“You know? Devil’s blood contains magical power. Therefore, it is more special than any other blood.”
“Your blood will be shed as well.”
Paladin approaches. While feigning leisure, the baron desperately moved his magic and used magic. Blood splattered everywhere. At the same time, the blood bubbled like lava.
Paladin did not stop. Grabbing the greatsword stuck in the floor again, I step on the hot blood and approach Baron Hailguide.
The Baron laughed. It was a laugh from the heart.
“You’ve come into the limb. Blame it on your ignorance and arrogance.”
The blood that was bubbling around gushed out and flew towards the paladin. The blood wraps around the paladin in the shape of a large sphere.
The Baron was confident of victory.
So far, no human or demon has survived this spell. In particular, this time it was a spell cast with the blood of demons. A paladin will be so compressed in blood that he will die without even leaving a proper corpse.
But again, Paladin escaped his predictions.
A blade protruded from the compressed sphere of blood. A golden aura flows through the blade. The baron desperately squeezed out his mana.
It was useless.
As the paladin swung his sword, the orb of blood split with absurd ease. The sphere of blood loses its power and spills onto the floor. The paladin reached the baron, showering himself with demonic blood.
“Does not make sense… !”
“It is you guys who are nonsense. Your existence is unacceptable.”
Paladin raised his greatsword. The baron moved one step faster. It is to swing the long claws at the paladin. However, before the nails reached the paladin’s armor, the baron’s lower body had already been severed. Blood and intestines spill onto the floor.
The paladin grabbed the falling baron’s head and lifted it up. Eye level is set. However, the baron could not see the paladin’s eyes. This is because the hard helmet completely concealed the paladin’s eyes. The baron tried to be dignified to the end, but he couldn’t. Fear crept across the baron’s face.
“You will be taken away as much as the blood you drank.”
“What… ?”
Paladin moved his sword. As if working, he cut off the arms of Baron Hailguide.
Immediately after, a cross appeared in front of Paladin. I put the baron on a cross that oozes holy energy, and put a stake in his chest. Drive the paladin into a stake with your fist instead of a hammer.
“Aaaaagh! Yes you guys! You better kill me!”
At this point, the baron predicted what the paladin would do.
A vampire’s blood can be used as a good medicine if it can be properly purified. The terrifying paladin in front of this is thinking of sealing himself on a cross and bleeding out endlessly! He wants to turn himself into a cattle like a milking cow.
Baron Hailguide, feeling immense fear and humiliation, shouted to the paladin who was about to carry the cross.
“Kill! Kill me! Aaaaagh! I am your enemy! Will you spare your enemy! Hurry up and kill me!”
“Noisy.”
The paladin’s savage hand tore off the baron’s jaw. The baron was quiet then. For the first time in his life, the baron resented the superior devil’s body. If he had been any less superior, he would have died before he suffered this humiliation.
The paladin took up the cross and went outside. He prostrated as if the paladins and heretic inquisitors had waited.
“Congratulations on your victory.”
“It is natural.”
“… You have achieved your purpose. I don’t really like it, but for the sake of the church’s future, I’ll follow your will.”
Said the paladin. The Paladins felt uncomfortable and embarrassed about not killing the Hail Guide Baron.
On the other hand, the Heretic Questioners were different. They admired the new paladin and showed boundless awe.
“You are amazing, Paladin! Leave the care of the vampires to us! I’ll make him spit out all the information!”
“It was my intention from the beginning. Take the demon’s corpse and clear the area. Go back to the cathedral.”
•••
Returning to the cathedral, I left Baron Hailguide to the Inquisitors and headed for the sanctuary. Immediately enter the sacred pond and receive a purification ceremony from the saint.
The purification ceremony, which would normally end quickly, felt unusually long today.
Because there are three demonic souls clinging to me. In addition, the level was higher than the demons he had dealt with so far. If you face a stronger demon in the future, the purification ritual will be that much longer.
After the purification ceremony, he learned a new skill using the energy of blessing.
[Name: Eugene
Origin: Paladin
Level: 62
Strength: 42 Agility: 20 Stamina: 20 Holy Power: 25
Skills: Holy Eye (Lv. Master), Holy Aura (Lv. 7), Holy Sword (Lv. 7), Sprint (Lv. 3), Holy Light (Lv. 3) Holy Enhancement (Lv. Master)]
Divinity enhancement, a newly learned skill this time, is a passive skill. Enhances the effect of divine power and other skills.
Satisfied, I rose from the sacred pond. Wipe your body with the prepared towel and put on your clothes. After that, I sat down in a chair and rested quietly.
‘As expected, resting in a sanctuary is much better mentally and physically, unlike other places.’
The sanctuary overflows with holy energy more than any other place. Just being here makes me feel at ease.
“Hey Paladin.”
The saintess approached. She casually sat next to me. Unlike the first time we met, she treats me quite comfortably. The saintess handed me something.
“This?”
“This is Probe’s wine.”
“… It’s wine made by the Holy See. It wouldn’t have been easy to find.”
“I asked the Holy See directly.”
Even if the status of a saintess is lower than expected, she cannot be completely ignored. In the Vatican, the saintess suddenly asked for alcohol, so she must have been embarrassed.
“Are you giving it to me?”
“Yes. Please enjoy. In the meantime, I received a lot of food and items from Paladin. Please accept it.”
The wine reminded me of Elena.
The finest wines from other worlds. I’m sure he’ll run away with his mouth watering. However, this wine in front of me had no intention of taking care of it.
“Have you ever had a drink?”
“There is not. I prepared it because I heard that men like alcohol.”
“Okay?”
I took out a wine glass from my inventory. Now I openly use the inventory. When asked what kind of power it is, he gave a rough answer. There was no one who looked deeply into me. Because I am a paladin chosen by the goddess.
Place two wine glasses on the table. One in front of me, one in front of her.
“It is a clean glass. It is pretty.”
“It’s a wine glass. Not suitable for drinking wine.”
“… Are you serving me wine? I cannot drink alcohol.”
“It is like that when you are a nun. You are not a nun, you are a saint. Wouldn’t there be restrictions on this week?”
“It is, but….”
“You don’t fall when you drink alcohol. And they say you don’t drink alone.”
“…….”
I opened the cork of the wine and poured the drink into a glass. A sweet scent that stimulates the sense of smell spreads throughout the sanctuary. Amelia pondered, then placed her wine glass in her hand.
She took off her veil with her other hand. I stared at her staring at her. It had been a while since he had met her, but it was the first time he had seen her take off her veil. It also meant that she was close to me.
‘It’s pretty.’
Light blonde hair with blue eyes. Pink plump lips. It was a face as perfect as a statue.
I had a wine glass She stared at her blankly, then raised her glass as if she realized something belatedly.
Braided!
Glasses collided. After enjoying the scent, I took a little wine in my mouth and swallowed it. Both the smell and taste were excellent. The aftertaste is also refreshing. It was the best wine in the world.
Amelia followed me and drank wine. Soon, her eyes widen.
“… It’s delicious. It tasted like this. But something… I feel like my body is getting hot.”
“Alcohol is going through your body. Not bad.”
Afterwards we quietly drank wine. Amelia was surprisingly good at drinking wine. I wonder if it might have tasted the wine.
“Hey Paladin. I have information that an evil ritual is going on at Saloth Castle.”
Sallot Castle.
As soon as I heard the name, I quietly swallowed my breath.
It felt like something was coming.
“An evil ritual? Do you know what ritual it is?”
“The ritual is conducted by a demon named Barbarojax. It is the underling of several tons of great demons. He was originally human, but contracted with Suton to become a necromancer. He is conducting a ritual for the resurrection of tons.”
“Tons… The great devil that the paladins gathered and killed.”
“Yes. The former Paladin of Valentier was killed in that temple. Originally, the resurrection of the great devil takes several decades… Bavaro Yax is reducing that period through his rituals. The ritual must be stopped. When Sutton respawns, he will target the Paladin. Paladins still need more time to grow.”
“I get it. I will infiltrate Saloth Castle alone.”
“… Yes?”
“All other troops wait nearby. Barbarojax is an evil bastard. He must have prepared a trap. Even if he recklessly beats the castle, the sacrifice will only increase. I will infiltrate the castle first, remove the trap, and open the door.”
“… Isn’t that too dangerous?”
“Not dangerous. But as dangerous as it is, the reward is sure.”
I know how to attack Sallot Castle. You can collect a large amount of experience points and guarantee a certain victory. I couldn’t miss this opportunity.
The saintess said as if she couldn’t help it, knowing that my will was firm.
“… I will obey Paladin’s will.”
