Dark Fantasy Paladin Chapter 71

Dark Fantasy Paladin Chapter 71

Episode 71

A giant wolf ran like crazy through the empire.

I crossed mountains, crossed rivers, and ran across the plains.

So residents who saw the black figure dismissed it as a mistake or just an illusion.

Sothing black passed by in the blink of an eye.

Aiden clutched the black fur with his hands.

The words that Saya left to Fenrir kept ringing in his mind.

ㅡ You can’t atone, but you can wash away your lover’s pain.

In short, it ant that Saya’s sin would not be erased, but Aiden’s guilt that ca from her would disappear.

As soon as Iden heard that Saya’s destination was the west, he was able to understand what it ant.

Given the circumstances, there was a high probability that it was headed to the Kingdom of Diergan.

This is because the nation’s survival was able to accurately carry out Saya’s words.

Kar Yen, a high priest at the Great Levana Monastery.

He was a murderer with the power to obliterate the very existence of the murdered person.

If Saya is killed by this guy, the mories of her will disappear from Iden’s mind.

Aiden will no longer be able to rember the massacre that Saya committed two years ago. This may be why she said she could wash away her lover’s pain.

But of course, the dead don’t co back. This was the reason why Saya declared that atonent was impossible.

Iden chewed his lips.

Why on earth would you do this? I couldn’t understand at all.

Aiden believed that he knew the creature called Saya better than anyone else.

She was a woman who put her own feelings above all else, so she could wrap everything up in the word love and oppress the other person.

Aiden has also not hesitated to commit inhumane acts in the na of advancent. In a way, the two were kindred spirits.

Saya is love and Iden is the ending.

So, while he loathed Saya, he also understood her better than anyone else.

However, what she was about to do now was completely at odds with Saya’s true nature as understood by Iden.

A woman who mistakes selfish and twisted feelings for love.

Saya is trying to die for the most trivial reason: to wash away Aiden’s guilt.

If soone tells Iden to die because he will bring a happy ending to this world, would Iden be able to commit suicide?

I can’t do it.

Therefore, it was difficult to say that Saya and Aiden were the sa from now on.

Moreover, Iden did not dare to say that she was a selfish beast.

Saya’s love was closer to an altruistic feeling for the other person rather than for oneself.

No, it may be that selfishness reached its peak has ruined the custors.

Aiden was struck by a bone-crackling headache.

No matter what the other person’s psychology was, he had never received so much undeserved love in his life.

I had no qualifications.

What would it be like if her existence were erased from your life? I never thought I would stop feeling this way.

But I didn’t want that outco, at least not now.

Regardless of whether the nine-tailed fox would be needed in the future or not, Iden did not want her to disappear forever.

For now, I was just relieved that Saya remained in my mories.

*

The foot of a mountain shrouded in hazy fog. This place, where it would not be awkward at all to see a god sitting on a towering bedrock, was the Tolkien Mountains of the Kingdom of Diergan.

No one walks in Tolkien.

This was because the terrain was rugged and the native species were too dangerous.

Although it was a treasure trove of nature, it was also a place that Simmani also filtered out.

At the beginning, Fenrir sniffed.

The wolf wrinkled his face and said.

“Are you sure about this place?”

“The mountain itself erases the sll of visitors. Don’t waste your ti and keep going.”

No trace of Saya could be found. Additionally, it was impossible to specify the location of the Great Levana Temple without background knowledge.

Levana was a moving temple.

The Great Temple is located on one of hundreds of peaks according to the shape of the moon, and Iden knew the formula.

Today was the night of the full moon. The highest peak, 5000 ters above sea level, will be the site of the temple.

“Go ahead.”

Fenrir was very annoyed by Iden’s commands, but there was no ti to organize the ranks now.

Because he said Saya was in danger. And the wolf was convinced that it was not a lie.

Iden looked really impatient. If it was acting, I was planning on tearing it to shreds.

A wolf running down a slope. Iden was lost in thought.

The plan for moving north was originally to visit the Great Temple.

This is because it was possible to obtain a leash here to tie around the neck of the first princess who would beco the emperor.

Iden knew her secrets.

A traitor who assassinated his own relative in order to succeed to the throne. This was a woman who not only committed murder but erased the very existence of her own brother.

Of course, she didn’t do it herself.

It was the result of Kar Yen, the high priest of the Great Levana Monastery, acting under the orders of the princess.

The kingdom’s assassin killed the empire’s royal family.

Sounds that did not sound like words or relationships that were intertwined like threads made such disrespect possible.

The relationship between the kingdom and the empire. The moon and sun that each person worships. The history of betrayal committed by the Bacheksar royal family. The kingdom’s dogs that stain their hands with blood instead of the noble royal family. The reason why an empire that insists on one god tolerates a kingdom that worships other gods.

Aiden was planning to find all the evidence and put the royal family to rest.

I had no choice but to stand shoulder to shoulder with them. No matter how heroic he was, he was far below the lineage of a god.

It would have been very difficult if he had a conflict of opinion with the emperor in the future. You should prepare in advance.

In addition, there was one more thing to worry about.

nine tailed fox. The mories of Saya have not yet been erased.

It ant that she had not arrived at the temple.

Or, the hypothesis of Saya’s suicide itself may be wrong.

Iden wanted the latter.

I imdiately lowered my head and looked at the arm hanging like a necklace.

I read the dense Korean alphabet once again.

A ssage to your future self who has lost your mory. Even if Saya disappears, this record will remain, so Iden will be able to revive her.

········· Actually, I wasn’t sure.

Because the current Aiden, who had forgotten his feelings for Saya, had no idea which one he would choose when he weighed the power of the Lion Resurrection and the Nine-Tailed Fox.

Iden chewed his lips.

The wolf’s voice cut off those thoughts.

“They’re pretty good at hiding.”

There was a hole in the huge bedrock piled up in the dense forest for one person to pass through.

The big Fenrir couldn’t get through. It was the mont when the wolf got off the ground.

I saw a blue figure crossing the night sky.

In the old days, his eyesight wouldn’t have been able to keep up, but now Iden could see what that thing was.

It was a nine-tailed fox.

“Saya!”

As soon as she heard Iden’s voice, she orbited in the air.

Then he went straight to Fenrir’s back, and in an instant he ca over and sat down opposite Iden.

The blue pupils filled with moonlight were trembling. His pure white skin beca much paler, making him look as if he had seen a ghost.

“······Why are you here?”

Iden imdiately grabbed the shoulder area of her top and ripped it off.

Her beautiful collarbone and white shoulders were clearly exposed. And confird the black magic that had encroached on her skin.

Saya is very embarrassed. Iden looked at her with a despairing expression.

“Sa Saya, you are now…”

The power of the Assassin had already perated. Iden felt like he had fallen off a cliff because there was no way to turn back.

Saya was quick to notice.

She lowered her gaze and drew a bitter line.

“I know, Aiden.”

In fact, for her, the reality of having Iden in front of her seed like a dream.

His intention to return to the embrace of nature and die because he did not want to be enshrined in a shrine led to this good fortune.

Saya raised her head. I looked at Iden, who was stiff from shock.

“······love you. And I did it wrong.”

Her atonent was still directed towards Aiden, and the victims of the massacre were still not in her mind.

Iden knew that well, but he didn’t want to stumble.

Because right now, his emotions were only looking at one person.

It was my last mont with her. Even if I revive it, this feeling will not co back.

Iden decided to let go of everything.

He hugged Saya with his only arm.

I buried my nose in her natural silver hair and inhaled her body scent.

A nostalgic, sweet scent.

Saya’s breathing and heartbeat stimulated Aiden’s sensitive hearing.

She froze at Iden’s unexpected reaction.

Fenrir sat the two down on a tree branch and walked quite far away. I expected them to mate.

Aiden was silent as he hugged Saya tightly. Because I didn’t know what to talk about.

However, buried mories invaded my subconscious.

The mont when I was at my weakest right after falling into this world. I rembered Yoo Ji-tae, a man who would tremble at the re sight of blood.

The sick man, who couldn’t sleep on the day he killed soone, always closed his eyes, relying on Saya’s touch.

The fox cub was the pillar that supported him. I rationalized, comforted, and embraced him.

You pathetic bastard. Aiden hated himself so much back then.

One of the reasons he pushed Saya away may have been his desire to run away from those mories.

I thought, I don’t know who is selfish.

Just like then, my eyes beca red. Saya’s hand touched Aiden’s hair. She was still comforting Iden.

“You can cry in front of . They say that if you let emotions build up, they beco poison. “Humans did that.”

Iden didn’t want to do that. I wanted to give it to her, at least for now.

Aiden slowly lifted his face.

I looked into Saya’s eyes. The blue stable held water and was moist.

Iden instinctively knew what to say. The apples didn’t fit.

Iden opened his mouth.

“love. And thank you.”

Saya stiffened.

The tears that had been building up fell. Even though it may have been rewarded with death, it was more valuable than anything else.

Saya started crying. Sparkling raindrops flowed down my flushed cheeks. Imdiately afterwards, I cried out loud like a child.

Aiden embraced her with his wide chest.

He comforted the crying Saya by stroking her small head and droopy ears.

Iden was also filled with tears. It’s a feeling I won’t even rember after a while, but there was no need to resist it now.

At the foot of the mountain in the middle of the night, only the sound of sobbing continued for a long ti.

And finally, Aiden could feel Saya flowing helplessly from within his arms.

It seed like the ti allowed had ended.

Iden closed his eyes. Before his mories faded, he thought about Saya one last ti.

Ti passed, but Saya still remained in Aiden’s mind.

I imdiately looked down at her.

It’s dead. There was no pulse at all.

But how does he know her?

Aiden unconsciously looked up at the night sky.

Manwol was smiling. It curved like a crescent moon and looked at Aiden and Saya.

‘Atraksha…’

She was the woman of Bacheksar and the god of love.

Now that I think about it, how did Saya find out about Kar Yen’s power and go to see it? That thought suddenly occurred to .

In addition, the timing of the end of the Northern War coincided very well with the timing.

Aiden let out a laugh.

There was no human who disliked the moon’s antics. Because she was the goddess of love.

Manwol drew an arc.
