Chapter 1484 – 1484. Paladin: A Journey to Ruin
They were on their way down the steeple.
The bustle of Sallot Castle has begun.
It seems that they found the remains of the undead and the corpses of the corrupted. I was not aware of my existence yet. It only raised the border more.
I went down the stairs faster. You just need to get a holy spear. Then this board is no different from the end.
“Wait! Slowly, slowly, let’s do some lyrics!”
Princess Polaris, who followed me down the stairs, sighed and said, I sighed and stopped her feet. I know that I can’t help it because of the difference between my body and her body, but I can’t help feeling stuffy.
After waiting for a while, she came down the stairs sweating profusely. Something whitish protruded from behind her. It was a ghost. Without hesitation, I approached Princess Polaris and swung her sword.
“Kiaaaaagh!”
The ghost screams and disappears. Fortunately, the ghost’s screams were heard only inside the stairs, so they did not escape outside.
“…….”
Princess Polaris’ face was pale.
“Why? It won’t be the first time you’ve seen a ghost…. Were you startled by something like a scream?”
“… I thought Paladin was trying to kill me.”
“You are not a corrupter. No reason to kill if not… Is it heresy that ate with the devil?”
“Absolutely not! Cancel that statement! That is an insult to me!”
“Don’t cancel. Don’t be shy and follow me. I’ll slow down from now on. Stay behind me if you don’t want to die.”
Climbed the spire Corruptors and undead were busy walking around. Most of them head to the entrance of Salot Castle. Corruptors ran and shouted.
“Damn it… ! The paladins came rushing to the entrance! You corpses! Move quickly! Why are these people who don’t even get tired so sluggish!”
“Weapons! Get your weapons ready!”
“It is an order from the demons! Protect the entrance even if you die! Farm up!”
The paladins and heretic inquisitors outside the castle noticed the change and drew attention. Thanks to that, I can move comfortably. I took Polaris and headed to the basement of the castle.
Corruptors are removing weapons from an underground warehouse. They must be planning to arm the undead.
I hid my presence and went behind the back of the corrupter. I blocked the mouth of the corruptor with my left hand and stabbed my sword at the same time. Cleanly dealt with one Corruptor.
I checked the status of Polaris. It’s because the future will be annoying if your mental is shaken by this kind of thing. She was calm She looked down at the dead corrupter with a cold gaze. Her faith was stronger than I expected. I went underground
The more they descended underground, the more they saw corruptors and undead. I advanced while killing them. He didn’t secretly assassinate like the first corrupter. I have already come deep underground. Their screams will not escape to the ground.
‘Kill them all. Each of these guys is worth experience.’
I even found and killed the guys hiding in the corner.
“…….”
The eyes of Princess Polaris looking at me are disrespectful.
“Do you have anything to say?”
“… Wasn’t it urgent? I don’t know why you waste your traffic line unnecessarily.”
“No matter how urgent it is, demons and corrupters must be killed. They don’t have to be alive in this world. Or what Are you saying you should have mercy on these? Are you a heretic?”
He pointed the sword at her throat. She took a step back in surprise.
“No, no! I can’t be a heretic! Paladin is right! Demons and corrupters are worms that eat the world! They all must die! Long live Goddess Herianne! Long live the church! Long live Paladin!”
“I’m sorry. I doubted your faith for a moment.”
Lowered the sword Then she let out a sigh of her relief.
“I just wanted you to know. … But did you really want to kill me?”
“Heresy kills.”
“… Didn’t you want to unseal the Holy Lance?”
“I know how to break the seal.”
Princess Polaris trembled. She looked at me with her fearful eyes as she held her trembling body tightly around her.
“… When I die, my father will not stay still.”
“Earth Tail Duke doesn’t even know you’re dead, he doesn’t even know you’re here. And… If her daughter is a heretic, she’s likely to have a heretic father too. If you are a heretic, I will visit and interrogate your family afterwards.”
“…….”
Princess Polaris shut her mouth tightly.
It was a large space. All kinds of unclean spirits were gathered. In the center of the space, a spear was stuck upside down into the ground. The spear was like a gray stone statue.
“I-what is that?”
Princess Polaris pointed to the area around the Holy Spear Lotis. Strange shapes and human corpses were spread out as if reminiscent of her magic circle.
“Can’t you see? It is the work of demons.”
“I know that. But for what purpose….”
“It’s obvious. I’m trying to get rid of the holy spear. It would be annoying for them just to have a holy spear in this world.”
“Do you think the holy spear will break if it breaks? The holy spear never breaks.”
“There are no absolutes in this world.”
I stepped onto the magic circle.
The protest came right away. The unclean energy that poured into the Holy Spear rushes towards me and tries to encroach on me.
‘Come Holy!’
A divine aura burst out of me. The golden aura offset the dark red unclean aura. Enduring the pressure pouring through my body, I approached the Holy Lance.
I held the holy spear in my hand. The Holy Spear, which had turned into stone, regains its original pure white appearance. However, since it was still sealed, it was just an ordinary spear. I put a holy aura on the tip of my spear and swung it. Holy energy rages like a storm and sweeps away all unclean energy.
‘For an instant, the Holy Aura was amplified. Even if it’s sealed, a holy spear is still a holy spear.’
I approached Princess Polaris and held out the holy spear.
“Remove the seal.”
“I see.”
She drew her dagger from her bosom. It was something I picked up on the way here. She squeezed the blade of her dagger with her left hand. Her blood started flowing from her palms. She splashed her own blood on the blade of her holy spear.
The Holy Lance begins to shine brilliantly. The seal is broken.
“Eat blood and break the seal…. It’s not a holy spear, it’s like a magic spear.”
“… This is a measure to ensure that no one other than our family uses the Holy Lance recklessly. Not only that, but the holy spear tends to hide people… Seeing that the Holy Spear is calm, it seems he recognizes Paladin-sama.”
“Even if it’s a holy spear, isn’t it something made with the power of the goddess after all? I am a paladin who received a revelation from the goddess. Follow me go up.”
“What are you going to do now?”
“Open the entrance to Saloth Castle. Paladins and Heretic Inquisitors will attack. Wait outside the castle with the Paladins until the battle is over.”
“I do. As you may know… The power of the Holy Spear is not infinite.”
Holy Chang Lotis.
The concept of building and releasing power.
Lotis has been around for a very long time now. In terms of time, the power has been accumulated for more than 200 years. It seems that the Astale family used it sparingly along the way, but looking at the enormous power accumulated now, it doesn’t show.
“There is no time to delay. Let’s go.”
She goes upstairs with her.
As soon as she landed on the surface, her enemies’ eyes turned to me. It was because of the voice. It radiated a sense of presence by emitting splendid light and divine power, and I couldn’t help but notice it.
“Uh, that armor… ! Paladin! It’s Valentier’s paladin!”
“Paladin heard the holy spear!”
“The demons?! Where are the demons! Ask the demons for help!”
“Undead! Attack Paladin quickly! Hurry!”
Raised Holy Aura. The Holy Aura reacts with the Holy Spear. Feeling the divine power on the blade, I swung the holy spear at the enemies.
A huge energy swept over the enemies. Dozens of undead and dozens of corrupted people were swept away at once.
“Very good.”
Killing all the guys in sight, I headed towards the entrance. I manipulated the organ and opened the castle gate.
“The castle gates are open!”
“Paladin opened the door!”
“Charge! Destroy the evil ones!!”
Paladins and Heretic Questioners shouted and stormed into the castle. They quickly rushed at the undead and the corrupted.
The undead fought to the end, and the corrupters started running away in a panic. The Heretic Questioners relentlessly pursued and killed the corrupters.
I called two nearby paladins.
“I am Princess Polaris who was captured by demons. Get out of the castle and protect her princess.”
“I obey the Paladin’s command!”
With this, the safety of Princess Polaris was secured. It’s as if she’s left the Earth Tail family in debt. I grabbed the holy spear and headed towards the center of the castle. The Paladins were ordered to deal with the enemies scattered throughout the castle.
The corridor leading to the grand hall was full of blood. It was evidence that the Great Devil Resurrection Ritual was successfully underway. I was relieved.
‘I wondered if I had come too soon… That’s fortunate.’
My purpose was to kill the Archdemon. In order to kill the Great Demon, the Great Devil had to be resurrected first.
‘The ritual must succeed.’
Everything is going according to my plan.
We arrived at the entrance of the Grand Hall. I feel unclean and evil energy from the door. With a strong hand, he opened the large door.
It was a shady place. An altar is built in the center, and the surroundings are full of human corpses. More than ten demons gathered around the altar. The demons glanced at me and focused their consciousness. One of the demons climbs itself onto the altar.
“Several tons! I will dedicate this being to you! Aaaaa!”
The devil tore out his own heart and placed it on the altar. The demon’s heart and demon’s body burn. The demons around the altar lowered their heads and started muttering something.
“Stop the nonsense right now! You worms!”
He shouted while spreading his holy aura. The demons trembled, but did not stop the ritual.
“This. An uninvited guest has arrived. As you can see, they are very busy with the ceremony right now. Paladin of Valentire, I will deal with you.”
A man in a black robe approached me. He was holding a staff decorated with a skull.
“Barbarojax! A demon who betrayed humans! How well you are holding that mug in front of me!”
“Betrayal? I have never been on the side of humans. It is difficult to think that all human beings believe in the goddess Herianne. Of course, they are not on the same side.”
“You are proud of the subject of selling your soul to the devil. Do you not even know shame?”
“I didn’t sell my soul. It has evolved.”
“Evolution? That’s funny. It’s just a fall Also, the end of the fall is only death. I will kill you and kill all the demons behind you.”
“It also doesn’t make sense. Paladin, I will kill you to celebrate Suton’s resurrection.”
Damn
Barbarojax hit the floor with his cane.
In an instant, the space where Bararojax and I are is shaken.
The landscape has changed.
Red sky, black land.
Bavaro Yax looked at me and put a smile on his lips.
“Welcome to the Plains of Death.”
The ground shuddered and thousands of undead began to rise.
