Episode 93.
Aiden walked along the path between the believers lined up on the left and right. Every time I took a step, prayers and praise continued to flow out. They praised Iden and hoped for the well-being of the empire and the revival of the family.
In the midst of such blessings, Aiden checked the status window. Sacred power soaring steeply. Noble hypocrisy achieved successive achievements through awe and envy.
It’s been a long time since I surpassed the highest rank, but it looks like I still have room to grow. The current level has no longer been converted into a grade or number.
It was a quite satisfactory result. Iden, who was scanning the air, suddenly stopped. I turned my head back in front of the entrance leading to the corridor at the end of the hall.
The princess and Yuriel were standing side by side, looking at Iden.
Iden exchanged glances with Uriel. I suppressed my awkwardness as much as possible and opened my mouth.
“Follow Yuriel. “I have a place to go.”
It was much more uncomfortable for Iden to speak informally to Uriel than to the princess. I guess I’ll have to get used to it.
Yuriel walked over, smiling brightly. The princess followed behind her, who seemed to be in a good mood.
Of the two facing Aiden, the princess spoke first.
“The Holy Emperor is preparing for the ascension ceremony. “Please head straight.”
Iden shook his head.
“There are many priorities. “Put off the ceremony until later.”
There was a high probability that they were not even properly prepared in the first place. The Ascension Ceremony was an event to recognize someone as a god, and it was a ceremony that had never been performed in an empire that believed in one god.
Procedures and methods are probably being prepared from scratch.
If I headed to the church now, I might be stranded for several months.
The princess responded to Aiden’s rejection in a calm voice.
“When you get there, I’ll tell you to prepare it slowly.”
As a denomination, it was better that way. Because it is a historical ceremony, it should not be sloppy. There was no need to get busy at all.
Aiden nodded and opened his mouth.
“Do it. I have to go now. If you need help, talk to me anytime. If possible, I will attend the coronation ceremony.”
It had a political meaning. In front of numerous dignitaries, Aiden crowned her as the next emperor. As Bacheksar was recognized as a Bible, Lapelia’s legitimacy was becoming very solid.
As soon as Aiden finished speaking, several nobles frowned. It seemed that not all of those gathered here belonged to the princess.
The princess smiled and answered.
“It is truly an honor. “His Holiness Taekwang.”
“Okay, see you later.”
Iden left the ecliptic that way.

Holy spear Gargantua and Rottweiler Petra were well recovered. Iden only took those two favors and refused all other favors.
Gorgeous clothing and platinum carriages. And the numerous guards and servants were of no particular use to Iden. It only hindered my progress.
One horse and reliable armament were enough.
Bright daylight. Iden was running across an open plain. Uriel, who was sitting in the front seat, leaned slightly against Aiden. It was like being held in one’s arms.
There was nothing we could do about it because of Petra’s speed. Because it was difficult to withstand the rushing wind pressure.
Aiden spoke in her ear as he led the horse.
“You will be staying at Walenstalga Sanctuary for a while. I heard that it is almost completed, but it will be more inconvenient than the Vatican. “Can you be patient for a little while?”
Unlike Aiden Hall, Uriel did not have the energy to have a conversation on a galloping horse. I just nodded.
Aiden was back.
“If possible, invite the Sword Saint to Sachili.”
I was planning on giving him a position as an instructor in the special forces. Of course, I had no intention of making a forceful request. However, the old man will not refuse Uriel’s request.
“And my saint does not have to give up her last name. From now on, you are Uriel Sacilli again.”
It was a way to utilize the power of the Duke of Sacillier. The family was the most prestigious family in the empire and a warlord, and could serve as a strong support for Aiden.
Yuriel silently expressed his agreement.
In these and other ways, Iden planned to develop the Walenstalga Sanctuary. We also had to continue to gather talent.
The sanctuary will become an outpost for the conquest of the Demon World. That was the reason I went to meet the spirit Elquidora.
He steals the energy of the eastern part of the empire and breathes life into the Giant’s Forest. As a result of the reaction, the eastern part becomes more desolate and forests become denser day by day.
Iden was able to utilize Elguitora’s abilities. I plan to take it from the demonic realm and enrich the sanctuary. Saya must have made an appointment with the spirit, so Iden can head straight to the World Tree.
Besides that, there was one more thing to look forward to.
Upe. It’s been almost a month since I fed Gu Xian’s magical energy. It was good to look forward to the majesty of the Heavenly Horse.
From the moment flight becomes possible, we will be able to organize the continent much more easily.
Aiden rode the horse with a willing heart.
*
A passage from the Bible appeared in Euron’s mind.
‘Misfortune comes without warning.’
It was a phrase that really fit the current situation.
Everything was perfect. After winning the Winter War, the lord he served was ascended to the throne, and he was living a purposeful life, having put an end to his past of being a bastard.
It’s been 2 years since I met Aiden. Although I was frustrated by my own weakness, I never once felt as unhappy as I did before. Rather, I was happy.
However, it didn’t last long. Now tragedy has come upon him again, without even a hint. No, Euron walked on his own feet.
The foot of a mountain filled with giant trees. Euron swallowed dry saliva in the darkness, where not even the sunlight could penetrate.
I came to the Giant’s Forest after receiving orders from Yuriel. Siron was safe and Yupe had become the Unicorn’s Heavenly Demon. The beautiful nine-tailed fox was a little scary, but it didn’t really hurt him. I just looked at it like I was looking at a bug.
Anyway, there was no place to feel tension. All I had to do was wait for my master.
I fell asleep with that thought in mind, and when I opened my eyes again, I was standing here alone.
He was also faced with the devil.
A being that cannot even exchange glances. The presence of such a distant presence tightened Euron’s heart. It was not a demon seen on the continent.
Because it was the Great Demon Gu Xian.
One sinister red eye occupied half of the head. The guy looked at Euron and slowly opened his mouth.
“Don’t give me advice, kid. “It’s not a hallucination right now.”
Euron had read it several times in the Bible. The source of ‘despair’ in dealing with hallucinations. So even this would obviously be false.
The magic energy that Yupe missed must have caused this phenomenon. Euron believed so.
He said, looking down at the ground. I was so scared that I couldn’t bear to face him.
“······dog sound. “I know it’s a hallucination.”
A cool laugh followed.
“The authority of this body has fallen. It must be because of the abominable Bible. “Do you really want to lie to someone like you?”
They were claiming it was real. Euron said, chewing his lips.
“The devil cannot overcome the divine barrier surrounded by the demonic scriptures. “You can’t be here.”
“It’s common sense. However, this body is a great devil who has lived for a whopping 300 years. He is the main culprit who has always destroyed your common sense. “In some ways, doesn’t the fact that you’re even standing here go against common sense?”
Euron ignored his words and turned his back. I was thinking of going back to the cave I came from.
Gu Xian’s voice continued.
“Think about it. How can someone like you be with Taekwang? “It is truly unreasonable.”
Of course, Euron was well aware of this fact. So, I trained with blood and sweat and continued to break down my walls.
“Like this, common sense always breaks down. Take today in that context. This body exists here. Now remember. “I have revealed the truth.”
Euron thought as much as he could even though his head was completely white. How to escape Gusian’s hallucinations. The only thing I could do was endure the pain. maybe.
I wasn’t there…
I had to endure one thing. The moment you beg for your life, you will stain Iden’s face.
Euron, who was moving away from Gusian, made up his mind. I immediately turned around again to face the devil. His eyes were burning with determination.
But Gu Xian was nowhere to be found. Even though I looked around quickly, I couldn’t even sense any sign of him. The forest was very quiet.
‘What…’
My lips started to dry. It felt like it was coming from behind and ripping off my arms and gouging out my eyes.
Extreme tension began to block Euron’s prayers. The breathtaking time continued without end.
But nothing happened. The forest was still shrouded in silence.
As soon as I realized it was a little strange, I started writing four stories. The sound of leaves being stepped on was heard from behind.
I turned my head. There was a nine-tailed fox wrapped in a blue haze. A cool glow in the darkness flowed like smoke.
She opened her mouth.
“Why are you here? “I told you to watch the little girl.”
Euron immediately drew his sword. A translucent aura enveloped the sword body. The vibration sound was low.
“If you devil come in, come!”
Saya frowned.
“······what?”
Euron grabbed the hilt of the sword without saying a word. His hands were shaking.
The moment Saya’s expression cooled, Euron kicked the ground first.
The distance was shortened in an instant using footwork. He stabbed the knife into the pure white neckline.
The moment they made contact, Saya roughly flicked the blade away with the back of her hand. Teeing! The knife flew feebly and got stuck in the tree.
Immediately afterwards, he grabbed Euron’s neck.
“It’s annoying…”
The sparring that this little boy and a young man named Geomseong exchanged every day. Saya thought that Euron was asking that of her too.
If it wasn’t for Iden, I would have torn it to pieces and killed it.
I looked straight into Euron’s eyes. But it was a little strange. Because I was more prepared than necessary. There was also extreme fear.
After thinking for a moment, Saya slightly relaxed her grip. Then he said.
“What should we do?”
“Do whatever suits you.”
Saya truly felt like her patience was being tested to its limits. If I continued to face him like this, I might kill him.
He threw it on the floor and let out a deep sigh. I passed by Euron, suppressing my rising murderous intent.
Euron showed courage to overcome his fear.
“Gu Xian! You idiot! “It’s funny how a pig runs away!”
Saya suddenly stopped. I looked down to the side.
“In other words.”
Euron glared at Saya without answering. She frowned as if she was frustrated.
“I heard it was Gu Xian. that’s right?”
“No matter what it looks like, it won’t fool you.”
Saya felt a sense of discomfort for a moment. Immediately after, I flew up without looking back. We headed towards the cave, passing between the giant trees at full speed.
In addition to Euron, the scent of Daryl Seine Jonah Gielan was felt nearby.
This meant that only Siron remained in the cave. I don’t know if it was Gusian’s hallucination or something, but it seemed like they had been led here like Euron.
Saya finally stopped in front of a huge cave. My sensitive sense of smell began to sound an alarm. Terrible stench. Although it was disguised as numerous odors, it was clearly the lingering scent of the devil.
The blue energy was pushed into the cave. The darkness of her son-in-law became bright and Saya felt devastated.
I saw Yupe lying down and convulsing. Siron, who was tied up right next to him, was facing an ugly demon.
Gu Xian looked at Saya and smiled. It wasn’t a hallucination or anything. Like Fenrir, Saya also had absolute immunity to the mental system, so I knew it well.
The great devil has stepped onto the continent. And he stretched out his hand towards Siron.
Immediately after contact, Siron’s eyes began to turn red. He easily tore off the restraint made of energy and stared at Saya.
Gu Xian looked at the scene happily.
“Now, where is Taekwang?”
