Dark Fantasy Paladin Chapter 5

Episode 5.

As the sacred power soared, the bushes hiding the body collapsed due to the recoil.

More than a hundred dead people persistently chased after life with their eyes.

The new soldiers were dropped naked into the cages of wild beasts, but rather than running away, they held onto their swords.

They fight by borrowing the divine power emitted by the Paladin. Although they could not manifest divine power on their own, they displayed high skills when the Paladins were together.

But Aiden could not trust them. Just as I was about to order them to wait at the rear, Xerath opened his mouth.

“You can’t always fight alone. “Learn how to use even the power you lack.”

Then, as he chanted a spell, the bodies of the dead began to rise.

Soon it swelled and things like pus and fluid oozed out from the rotten flesh.

“I couldn’t lift the spell, but I made some preparations.”

It continued to expand and then suddenly exploded. Pieces of flesh and bone were flying everywhere, and melted intestines and fluids were pouring down like rain.

The smell of death covered the cemetery. A mesmerizing gas encroached on the surrounding area.

‘When he’s an ally, he’s definitely trustworthy.’

On the other hand, he was a very difficult person as an enemy. So much so that there is a separate strategy book.

Xerath narrowed his brows.

“He’s quite the guy.”

The gas generated by the corpse exploding completely obscured the view.

Aiden watched the front and waited for it to quiet down.

“Be careful. “The other person is not a fool.”

“Don’t worry about me, just focus on your rear firepower.”

“haha! There is no trace of tension. I understand. “Please leave only one recruit behind.”

Iden frowned slightly and looked at Xerath. I was planning on leaving all of the new recruits as Xerath’s bodyguards.

“Please give them a chance too. Who would be a veteran from the start? “Unless it’s a monster like you.”

The new recruits were holding their swords so tightly that their hands were shaking. There was fear, but I also felt firm determination.

Aiden glanced at them and then let out a short breath.

“Remember, once the battle begins, I cannot protect you. “Do you know?”

Euron gritted his teeth and answered.

“Oh, I know!”

The rest followed Euron and shouted loudly.

“Even if I die, I will die fighting heresy!”

“I will sacrifice this body for God!”

Aiden suddenly had doubts about the existence of God, but shook the thoughts away.

They decided to fight and risked their lives. I had no intention of denying that decision. Aiden decided to give it a try.

He approached the new recruits and tapped their shoulders.

“Relax. My body becomes sluggish. When the battle begins, maintain a wedge shape with two people on each side on the left and right behind me. Do not leave the line and stick with it until the end. Do you understand?”

“““I understand!”””

The gas was slowly clearing. A few dozen people returned to nature, but they were still far outnumbered.

A bitter chill flowed from the mouths of the dead. Jealousy of life encouraged death.

“The heretic you hate so much is over there!”

Aiden pulled out the holy sword. The blade, which absorbed moonlight and divinity, shimmered blue.

“Save the dead and carry out God’s judgment!”

The halo exploded. Instead of the sun, it illuminated the night.

The new soldiers began to pray. They applied the divine power emitted by Iden to their weapons and memorized a short prayer.

-We praise the destruction of evil and carry out divine punishment. Fear is a luxury and death is an honor.

Iden roared like a wild beast and jumped into the arms of the dead.

I swung the holy sword sideways. Clear trajectory. The sword, which drew a semicircle, cut the dead men’s waists in half.

Iden ran at full speed, cutting down everything in his way. The key to the wedge formation was momentum and mobility.

The moment you are surrounded and lose momentum, your morale drops drastically. After that, it was a total disaster.

The location of the necromancer has been confirmed. The edge of the cemetery. It was a human who had suddenly landed a little while ago.

The remains of the dead flew in all directions. Everything that stood in the way was swept away in an instant. Light swallowed the darkness and opened a path.

The new soldiers realized that the Paladin in front of them was a monster. He ran wearing heavy armor and wielding a sword, but it was difficult to keep up with the speed.

However, they also squeezed the strength they had from breastfeeding. I followed closely behind Aiden, cutting down the dead who were closing in on the flanks.

Fear rose in the rear. Xerath’s holy magic. Iden was able to focus on the front.

‘It’s useful.’

Xerath was reliable, and the new recruits were also doing their jobs. I had to get used to this type of combat.

“Speed up!”

The high point is approaching. Iden gathered momentum and ran through the graveyard.

It crushed and trampled all obstacles like a tank.

The halo burns even brighter. The haze continued like a tail, leaving footprints.

Intoxicating recruits. My muscles screamed and my lungs swelled to the point of bursting, but for now it was still good.

The fact that they, who were the poor class of the training center, could fight like this was overwhelming.

Aiden was at the forefront.

“It’s the last time! Hang in there!”

The magic has become much more vicious. If you look past the dead in front of you, you will see the necromancer.

If you capture him, everything is over. The dead will be released from their restraints and return to their places.

It was the key to dealing with necromancers.

Iden crouched down. And when I hit the ground and ran through the air.

His expression was distorted in astonishment.

“Dark Warrior…?”

The ghost of a warrior trapped in black smoke was staring at the new soldiers. Red eyes twinkled.

The Dark Warrior held the hilt of his sword.

“Bow your head!”

An ominous blade swept across the front. They cut down the dead and cut off the head of one new soldier without any identification.

Iden didn’t even know his name.

“Fuck!”

The sword loaded with weight was dropped vertically. The blades clashed with each other and made a loud noise.

The Dark Warrior slid backwards and absorbed the impact.

‘Damn why is this guy like this now?’

The Dark Warrior laughed lowly.

“You’re having fun.”

A fishy voice. A man wearing a black priest’s uniform appeared from behind the Dark Warrior.

“My warrior has recognized you as his enemy.”

Protruding cheekbones and sunken cheeks. And the slanted pupils were no longer the features of a normal person.

But Iden couldn’t remember that person.

A magician who can command dark warriors would be somewhat named, and if he looked like that, he would definitely be remembered.

“Shit.”

I had no choice but to see it as a result of choosing the difficulty level as hell.

Iden felt dizzy. With the Dark Warriors in front of you, who are not good enough to fight for their lives, you have to be careful of the dead who are closing in on your back.

It’s been 2 years since I fell into the game. Although many obstacles have been crossed, another hurdle has come.

‘I was too complacent.’

Iden chewed his lips.

“Ah, Lord Iden!”

The three remaining recruits were blocking the dead that came in like a tidal wave.

One formation has already lost momentum. As you move further and further back, your back will come into contact with Aiden, and then the situation will be over.

You will be surrounded by the dead and slaughtered.

Still, I couldn’t look back. The moment I take my eyes off the Dark Warrior, Iden’s life is in danger.

There was no answer to the war of attrition against the undead. The only person I could trust right now was Xerath. I prayed in my heart that he would think the same way.

“Xeras!”

At the same time, a huge flame burned the cemetery and enveloped the dead in the rear.

I bought some time.

“How much longer can Aiden hold out!”

“I’ll hold on as long as I can!”

“good! “I will try my best.”

Xerath began running around the graveyard. Many dead people followed behind him.

He surrounded the rear area where the new soldiers were with flames like a barrier. Xerath’s expression appeared slightly distorted.

‘Xerath is also starting to overdo it.’

First of all, I had to make the most of the time he had bought me.

“Aim for the Aiden command core! “I will capture the magician!”

The necromancer spotted Xerath and began to run away.

Euron and the new soldiers were confronting the dead across the flames. Their shoulders trembled slightly.

Aiden shouted loudly.

“I’ll leave it to you!”

“Just leave it to me!”

Iden focused on the Dark Warrior again.

‘We can’t just trust in Xerath and wait.’

If you catch the magician, the ghost will disappear, but you have to assume the worst.

I fight with the intention of taking him down.

Iden closed the distance and lunged at him. A stab aimed at the heart. The ghost obediently allowed Iden to attack.

Black smoke came out like blood, but it did not hit the ghost. A low sneer followed.

‘Did I guess wrong?’

As long as the core is not destroyed, the Dark Warrior regenerates infinitely.

That was also his weakness.

A place where killing machines that know no pain and fear are the only ones who care about defense. This is because it was a critical location where the nucleus was located.

Of course, the parts of each individual were different. Iden had to find that place from now on.

The Dark Warrior grabbed the holy sword stuck to his chest with one hand.

The divine power burned its grip and body, but it did not blink an eye.

Aiden raised his divine power to its limit. There was a burning smell. Aiden draws a diagonal line. The guy’s upper body was tattered open.

‘Not even the right lower abdomen.’

At the same time, his iron sword falls on his head. Aiden dodged by rolling once and then sliced his thigh.

The Dark Warrior’s center of gravity tilted, but only for a moment.

In an instant, he kicked Aiden in the abdomen with his regenerated leg.

It was a force several times stronger than when it was alive. Iden bounced and flew and hit a huge tree.

If it wasn’t for Seonggap, his intestines would have exploded.

“Are you okay there!”

“Focus on your mission!”

There was no answer once the back was penetrated. The guy approaches, dragging a knife.

‘The remaining areas are the head and left leg. Or is it an arm…?’

It was impossible to pinpoint anything unless the body was cut one by one.

Before I knew it, the guy approached me and raised his iron sword with both hands. A sharp sound. Aiden quickly raised the holy sword horizontally and blocked it.

The swords clashed and sparks flew out. A dull ripple spread down my arm and throughout my body.

‘for a moment.’

Come to think of it, this was the second time we crossed swords. When Iden first charged at him, he clearly tried to defend himself.

‘head.’

Aiden used the large tree behind his back as support and strengthened his arms. Traps Biceps Triceps Forearms. All my muscles swelled as if they were about to explode. The seams of my genitals seemed to be screaming.

A clash of strength and power. Aiden had a narrow lead. I pushed forward and struck away the ghost’s sword.

At the same time, Aiden twisted his waist and raised his legs. The shin, which flew in a parabola, caused the ghost’s headache.

Black smoke scattered in all directions. The headless warrior stopped standing.

‘Are you done?’

Iden took a few steps back and widened the distance. But it was a little strange. It didn’t show any will to defend itself…

but sure enough, smoke began to seep into the place where the head disappeared.

“shit!”

Obviously, I raised my sword to block it at first. Wasn’t he trying to protect his head?

Iden recalled the first attack. The path of the sword. It would have split the head, skimmed the neck and upper body, and then cut it into two halves across the crotch.

Not the neck and head. Since the upper body was also tested, there was only one area left.

Iden pulled out the lance he was carrying. Seomjeon cut through the darkness and headed toward the ghost’s crotch.

The tin spear flew off and became stuck in the mud. The guy was more desperate than ever.

Even though it was dark under the lamp, the vital spot was actually at a critical spot. The guy didn’t laugh anymore. He seemed angry.

Iden smiled cruelly.

“It was there.”

It screamed and rushed at Iden. The ghost swung his iron sword fiercely. I continued to push Aiden without ever getting tired.

The longer the fight with the undead lasts, the more disadvantageous it becomes. He doesn’t know fatigue.

On the other hand, Iden was losing strength and had to end this fight quickly.

“Euron! “Don’t look back and stick to your mission!”

From now on, it was no longer a fight between paladins. If someone sees it, their integrity may be broken.

“Oh, I understand!”

Aiden changed his defensive stance to attack. I persistently thrust the knife into the guy’s groin.

I lowered my posture and started stabbing and cutting. He didn’t hesitate to kick at times. Of course, there were no effective hits.

Iden widened the distance slightly and threw the dagger in his arms at the man’s lower body.

As soon as I was blocked, I jumped in again. I threw away the ghost’s sword and put my weight on it to push the guy down.

He climbed up, crushed the ghost’s hand with his elbow, and put his remaining hand into the man’s groin.

The ghost’s red eyes trembled.

A terrible grip penetrated my groin and tore through my body. The ghost cried out in a fit of convulsions, but Iden did not stop.

‘found.’

Iden grabbed the small sphere tightly and pulled it out. Rotten flesh and lumps came out.

Only then did the ghost’s actions stop. The red, fluttering eyes slowly became lighter. The captured soul was washed away by the wind and dispersed like smoke.

It didn’t take long for the giant warrior to turn into a withered corpse.

A huge amount of experience permeated me like a wave.

Aiden moved without even having time to ponder the lingering effects of the battle.

He grabbed the lance again and aimed it at the dead. The spear flew like a lightning bolt and smashed the head of the dead man who had captured Euron.

“Ah, Lord Iden!”

It must have been quite intense that way as well. Slime, flesh, and bone powder were stuck to my entire body.

“The ghost…”

“It was dealt with.”

The faces of the new recruits were filled with relief. It seemed as if their first battle would be remembered forever.

However, there was no time to take a breath.

“let’s go.”

It was time to judge the necromancer and punish the mastermind.
