Dark Fantasy Paladin Chapter 95

Episode 95.

Approximately five days from the Imperial Capital to the Forest of Giants. Aiden drove the horse all the time except when eating and sleeping, and was eventually able to set foot in the eastern forest in four days.

The fact that we were never inspected also contributed to our early arrival. The gray barrier opened the door as soon as it saw Aiden, and each territory he had passed through before never blocked Aiden’s path.

Because the nobles of the East truly respected Aiden. A year ago, the residents showed this appearance after Aiden completely cleaned out the demons and demon religions in the east. Everyone, regardless of whether they were nobles or commoners, had endless favor for him.

A profuse apology was one such sign of goodwill. Their shrouds were dripping from the sack tied to the horse’s saddle, but Aiden couldn’t pick them up.

It’s been half a day since I entered the Giant’s Forest. This is because I vaguely sensed demonic energy.

Iden rode his horse at full speed. I was closing the distance from the devil’s reverberation.

We passed through a maze-like forest, climbed up a valley, and finally arrived at the foot of a lush mountain.

A strange scene was unfolding before Iden’s eyes.

Euron Daryl Sein Jonah. The four of them were facing each other. As if dealing with an enemy.

Their eyes all moved towards Aiden. They all stared at Aiden with hostility and wariness.

Iden jumped off the horse. As I approached them with a puzzled look on their faces, they backed away slightly and grabbed their weapons.

Euron muttered with a pained face.

“What on earth is this…”

Daryl said, looking at Euron and Iden in turn.

“I heard he was a pervert who tortured Gu Xian or something, but doesn’t it feel a little strange now?”

Gusian? The name that came out of Daryl’s mouth caught Iden a little by surprise.

Iden looked at Daryl and opened his mouth.

“Did you say Gu Xian?”

Daryl frowned.

“Damn it, the way you talk is the same. It will really get better. No, it looks like His Holiness Taekwang… I’m not hallucinating, so this is it.”

Sein spoke in as calm a voice as possible.

“I don’t think so either. A story shared in ‘Mermaid’s Tears’. “Everyone remembered it, right?”

Mermaid’s Tears was the inn where they stayed in the city they visited to liberate Atlantis.

All the members at that time were gathered here.

But that wasn’t the problem. What is the reason for gathering here and having such a conversation? It wasn’t the atmosphere of sitting around a campfire and sharing old memories.

Rather, there was tension.

Iden thought about their conversation for a moment. Then he opened his mouth.

“Has Gu Xian possessed Siron?”

Euron spoke slightly warily.

“Oh no.”

Daryl interjected.

“I’ll be fine. No, His Holiness Taekwang. We’ve all seen Gusian. “I’m starting to wonder if I’m hallucinating.”

You saw Gu Xian? It was a story that was hard to believe, but it was an appropriate explanation for the current situation.

In short, each of them thought they were hallucinating. All of the colleagues in front of him were suspecting that it was an illusion created by Gu Xian.

The reason we talked about the past was probably to distinguish between hallucinations and reality.

Daryl spoke again.

“If you don’t mind being rude, may I ask you a question?”

It looked like he was going to ask Aiden a question that only this member could answer.

Iden shook his head. Then he glanced at them and spoke quickly.

“Even if this is Gu Xian’s hallucination, you can’t see through it that way.”

Gusian’s hallucinations replicate even into the abyss of the unconscious. Therefore, the illusion it created was no different from reality. All questions will be answered.

For that reason, the source of despair was a very difficult entity. Because the hallucinating subjects had no way of knowing whether the scenes they were seeing were real or false, self-destructive riots that involved killing and killing each other occurred at every route.

He was the number one demon to be subjugated in the battle to recapture the Holy Land.

But that guy came over to the continent. It was a variable that had never been experienced before and it was not yet a confirmed fact, but Iden decided to make that decision and move.

Aiden came back right away.

“Remember. When dealing with Gu Xian, act as if the current moment is reality, regardless of whether it is a hallucination or not.”

At Aiden’s words, the group looked at each other’s faces.

Daryl nodded and said.

“That makes sense. I dismissed it as a hallucination, but wow, was it real? If this shit happens, you’ll be in trouble. “I don’t think there’s anything to lose from that station.”

I thought it was real, but if it was a hallucination, it would be emotionally draining, but there was no real loss. This is because there was no way to overcome the ordeal of despair or to wake up without help from outside.

It was better to just accept it.

In that context, it always had to be fierce when dealing with Gu Xian.

Jonah said, sighing.

“But what if they overwrite me with another person? For example, making Euron look like the devil or making the devil look like Euron…”

Iden said calmly.

“It doesn’t happen very often, but even if it does, the response will not change.”

The case Jonah was talking about was the power of Gusian. For example, a person in hallucination is stuck in place and sees only illusions. To put it simply, if they were hallucinated by Gu Xian, the actual body would actually be standing there.

However, Gusian’s power is different.

As Jonah said, illusions are implanted in the eyeballs to interfere with reality. The usage was simple. Use your power on the strongest human among the group and have them slaughter their comrades.

Therefore, it was a power limited to one person, and the probability of them being singled out as the target was significantly low. Because I was so weak.

If Gu Xian had really appeared, he would have chosen Gielan as his chess piece. Saya was completely immune to the mental system, so it was out of the question.

As soon as her thoughts reached that point, Iden immediately opened her mouth.

“Was there something Gu Xian was emphasizing? It is now reality or is real. That kind of thing.”

A conversation with Gusian flashed through Euron’s mind.

‘Like this, common sense always breaks down. Take today in that context. This body exists here. Now remember. I have revealed the truth.’

The same goes for the rest of the members. They nodded.

It was confirmed at that moment. Gu Xian really came to the continent and used his power. What he emphasized was the prohibition of revealing the current reality to those who would die at the hands of Gielan as a condition for activating the power ‘Marionette’.

Immediately afterwards, Iden turned his head in the direction from which the demonic energy was leaking. It was a place not far from the front.

He spoke quickly.

“What about poetry? “Are you alone?”

Euron answered.

“Sa Saya has gone.”

“How long has it been?”

“About ten minutes have passed.”

Aiden nodded and looked at his companions.

“Follow me immediately, but Gu Xian must not know that I have arrived. Also, Jonah, stay here. “There is no time to explain.”

Iden immediately put Euron and Uriel on his side.

“Gu Xian cannot use hallucinations on you. Just remember to buy time.”

While using the Power Marionette, it was not possible to instill hallucinations in the remaining members.

After saying that, Iden immediately jumped off the ground and flew up. I traversed the giant trees and ran like crazy in the direction where I could feel the demon energy.

In this forest, Aiden’s feet were much faster than Petra’s. The scenery changes quickly and the stench becomes more intense. Finally, the entrance to a huge cave came into sight for Iden.

A faint vitality was faintly illuminating the interior. Aiden completely hid himself in the long bushes and stared into the cave.

With his eyesight, that level of light was enough to see inside.

There was Yupe, collapsed and convulsing. I could see Saya and Shiron crouching through the open door of the iron-nailed coffin next to them.

Gusian was giggling and looking down at Saya, and inside the cave, Gielan was walking towards them as if possessed by something.

Iden immediately looked at Euron. He took out a necklace from his pocket and handed it to me.

“The fang of the former Heilang.”

A pass to the ice castle where spirits were imprisoned. It was an item that Gielan handed over to Aiden in the north.

Euron looked at Iden with an expression of confusion.

“Why is this…”

“It is an artifact that defends the mental system.”

Heilang leaders have absolute immunity to mental abilities, and their fangs provide the user with a certain level of illusion defense.

Aiden said as he glanced at Gielan.

“Hand it to the old man.”

That Gu Xian was not the original form of the Great Devil. Since it was an alter ego with at most two or three hearts, its power could not have the power of the main body.

It would be impossible to even compare it to the hallucination that fucked up Iden in the demon world. There was a high probability that the canines would do their job this time.

Of course, I couldn’t be sure. So Iden decided to watch.

“Go quickly.”

“Your Holiness Seo…”

“I have work to do. Don’t worry, I’ll leave once the situation stabilizes. “Once again, Gu Xian must never know that I have come.”

Aiden had a rough idea of how Gusian visited. It would have cost a lot of money and would have been a very inefficient method. The reason for that choice was unknown at this time.

It was just an opportunity to capture him. This was also the reason why Iden could not appear. As soon as the Great Devil sees Aiden, he will destroy his heart and return to the Demon World.

anyway.

If everything went as planned, I could definitely capture him.

Iden gently pushed Euron’s back.

Euron swallowed hard and made up his mind. Then he escaped the bushes and ran towards the cave.

At that moment, wow. Saya pierced Gu Xian’s chest.

A heart was in her hand. In short, it was a half penny worth one-eleventh, and Iden was confident in the canine.

However, if it explodes in Saya’s hand, that will be the end. Gu Xian will return to the Demonic Realm. It was a good ending, but not ideal.

At the same time, Gielan cut off Saya’s wrist with a tree branch.

Iden had mixed emotions. Worry about her lover and anger towards Gu Xian. And there was a mixture of relief that the bastard had been tied up.

I chewed my lips.

Immediately afterwards, Gielan picked Saya. Yuriel was filled with astonishment, and Aiden’s face was distorted like a murderous beast.

The moment Uriel was about to recite the hymn, Aiden held back and stopped him.

“······He won’t die to that extent.”

Because Saya was born immortal. Also, Gusian couldn’t kill Saya with Gielan.

As mentioned before, the target to be killed with the marionette must reveal that the current situation is real, but that rule could not be applied to Saya, who was immune to the mental world from the beginning.

Saya knew full well that this situation was real from the beginning.

The final blow must be delivered by Shiron or by Gusian himself.

At that time, Euron arrived at the entrance of the cave.

“Master—!”

The thin branch that was digging into Saya’s heart suddenly stopped.

Gielan and Euron’s gazes became intertwined in the air.

As Euron ran again, Gielan shouted loudly.

“It’s dangerous, stop!”

It was a frustrating situation for Gielan, who had been encroached upon by authority.

Fenrir’s breath is stuck. The disciple was running without realizing it, and strangely the knife did not go in.

It was that way in his eyes.

Euron rushed towards Gielan. He nudged him with his fangs and whispered quietly.

“Taekwang told me to act as if I was still hallucinating.”

You may not understand it right away. Iden opened Gielan’s status window. made a revelation

?Act.?

I didn’t have the ability to form any more sentences. A feeling of extreme helplessness came over Iden.

Gielan paused. Suddenly, a tree branch was drawn upward from the bottom.

Sigh! The thin blade swept over Euron’s upper body. The top was torn and a little blood leaked out.

Gielan shouted.

“Yes you bastard! “Are you planning to sabotage your teacher’s wishes?”

Gu Xian grinned, and Aiden also drew a light arc. Euron looked like he didn’t know anything.

Aiden knew well the wishes of the Sword Saint. What is certain is that slaughtering Fenrir was not his wish.

Iden looked at Uriel.

“Stay here. If you really think someone will die if you stay, move. “If possible, don’t show yourself.”

After saying that, Iden immediately turned around. While they were taking their time, I had something to do.
