Dark Fantasy Pdin Chapter 3


    Episode 3.


    The atmosphere in Viscount Vale Trappel’s manor was more subdued than usual.


    The serfs in the vige at the mouth of the manor also had sad faces.


    Iden looked at their faces and asked Xerath, who was riding a horse next to them.


    “Why is everyone’s expression like that?”


    “Look over there.”


    As I turned the corner, I saw the lord’s castle in the direction Xerath pointed.


    Ten people were hanging in the castle tower, and some of the corpses were already in advanced stages of dposition, making them look hideous to look at.


    “What is it? “Did we rise up as a group in revolt?”


    “No way. “The Viscount’s daughter lost her virginity to this guy.”


    Xerath pointed at the half-conscious Incubus.


    “It’s a simple reason. “The Viscount decided that the guards were not doing their job.”


    It was a time when human life was as bad as a fly. Iden, too, had be ustomed to death like that.


    It was a little bitter. I feel like I’m slowly melting into this damn world.


    “Haha, you seem ufortable. But if you’re in the viscount’s position, there’s nothing you can’t understand.”


    “More than that, how long should we keep this devil bastard alive?”


    “You will find out soon.”


    In fact, I had a rough guess as to why the devil was being captured alive. The author’s personal revenge. But the denomination takes care of individual convenience? The church Iden knew was not that kind of group.


    My thoughts were cut off as I arrived at the castle gate. A soldier rushed over to greet Aiden and Xerath.


    “Horseback riding was originally prohibited inside the castle, but that was due to the situation. Come on, let’s go to the hall. “I’ll get better.”


    Xerath chuckled.


    “It looks like that poisonousdy is going on a rampage again. “Let’s go quickly.”


    There was a hall on the second floor inside. Aiden said, handing the horse’s reins to the driver.


    “Master, please go first. “I’m going to throw this guy in jail.”


    “That doesn’t happen. “Please drag me.”


    Bring a devil to the lord’s castle. It was a ridiculous story, but Xerath was adamant.


    Even as Iden, I felt less anxious when the devil was in my field of vision. Because I didn’t know what these people would do.


    “If my prediction is correct, the church has gone as far as it can go.”


    “If an organization is to survive, it must not ignore practical benefits.”


    “You might say that even that is God’s will. “What a convenient thing to say.”


    “It’s sphemy. “Well, let’s just skip this once.”


    The words Iden wanted to say rose to the top of his throat, but he managed to swallow them.


    I untied the chain that was tied to the saddle, grabbed it, and climbed the stairs.


    As soon as I entered the second floor hallway, a loud noise rang out.


    “I heard you arrived! “Hurry up and stand in front of me!”


    A woman’s voice filled with venom. Iden thought that maybe it was the devil’s.


    “Don’t be too surprised. “The viscount’s daughter has something special about her.”


    It felt like something difficult was about to happen.


    Xerath took a deep breath and pulled the hall door left and right.


    Inside are one or two knights and ady. And it was crowded with private soldiers and employees.


    The moment the door opened, the youngdy came rushing in, shouting loudly.


    “Sebas Lee Bog!”


    Both eyes were full of life. Iden also understood her desire for revenge.


    Since the devil had been brought here, Sebas’ lifeline was held by the Lady.


    ‘I suffered a loss.’


    While noble hypocrisy is the power to transform the envy of others into divine power, Seeker of Destruction is a trait that increases stats by killing demons.


    Even if you catch a low-level demon like Sebas, the increase in level is minimal, but the reality is that even a single stat is disappointing. It wasn’t that cool.


    Still, what can you do? Iden pulled the chain and ced the devil at thedy’s feet.


    “what? Why is it so bad? “If this continues, you will die soon.”


    Thedy’s voice turned cold as she looked at Sebas.


    “I was going to make you beg me to kill you. “I was ying with it and trying to kill it slowly.”


    This era forces chastity on women. Especially if you are a noble. Therefore, the youngdy’s loss was very great.


    Iden knew that well, but taking a demon somewhere and torturing it was a bit difficult.


    “Ha, I can’t help it. hey! “Someonee here and raise this thing up.”


    “That’s not possible.”


    “what?”


    Thedy looked up at Iden. He looked at Aiden’s behavior and narrowed his eyes.


    “What are you saying you can’t do?”


    In the daughter’s eyes, Iden was seen as nothing more than a demon hunter.


    “If you leave it alone, you never know what it will do. “I would rather kill you here.”


    It was an excuse. In reality, I had to finish my work before Julie woke up.


    If Sebas were still alive then, Julie wouldn’t be able to escape from the demonic energy.


    The youngdy frowned, as if she was offended.


    “Ha, I’m still annoyed. “The lowly things are like this and that.”


    The youngdy walked trotting towards Iden. Swinging with the palm wide open was not a skill that had been achieved by pping the cheek once or twice.


    Of course, it was blocked by Iden’srge hand.


    “You, you now… Are you crazy? How dare you touch a nobleman? Hurry and cut off this guy’s arm! Cut it!”


    The knight standing behind thedy grabbed the hilt of the sword.


    “That gentleman over there. Don’t act hastily. “This man is a knight belonging to the church who returned afterpleting his training as a Holy Knight.”


    At Xerath’s words, the knight could not bear to draw his sword. Because I knew the gap well.


    Pdins were monsters that could ughter several ordinary knights with one hand.


    In the first ce, he wasn’t of a status that would cut off his arm for touching a nobleman.


    The youngdy also realized her mistake and lowered her voice.


    “······Why don’t you reveal it from the beginning?”


    Aiden sighed and released the wrist he was holding.


    “Ipletely understand your anger. So, I will give you an eptable death.”


    Iden immediately grabbed both of the demon’s ankles.


    Then, like a piece of paper, I tore it into two halves to find the meat and intestines. And fresh blood poured onto the floor.


    It was an unbelievable sight that a human could have done. Everyone was overwhelmed and there was silence.


    Cheolpudeok. As the youngdy fell on her buttocks in a puddle of ck blood, Iden held out his hand.


    “Please be satisfied with this.”


    The youngdy could not reply and just huped repeatedly. Inside the venue, only Xeras was smiling subtly, and no one opened their mouths.


    Then the door opened and the silence was broken.


    “Bishop, are you here?”


    Bishop and Viscount. Then, armed new soldiers and several priests entered the hall.


    “Interrogator, what is all this about?”


    “This is proof that Aiden has passed the final hurdle. “I also washed away thedy’s heartache here.”


    When the Bishop nced at the Viscount, the Viscount turned his eyes to his daughter.


    Thedy looked at Aiden, who was standing calmly, and quickly nodded.


    The Viscount swallowed deep relief.


    “I am infinitely grateful for the sincerity of the church.”


    Aiden also turned his head and showed respect to the bishop. And when their eyes met, Aiden’s expression became a little puzzled.


    ‘Archbishop Forell?’


    This man, who was smiling as if he were benevolent, was a very annoying person.


    While Xerath had an ambiguous position in the game, Archbishop Forel was an outright viin.


    Demon Hunter, Knight, Wizard, Adventurer, Merchant, Pdin, etc. No matter which route you choose, you will face Forell at least once.


    I guess I’d only run into it around the middle of the game, but I couldn’t figure out why this guy was here right now.


    ‘I guess he’s still a bishop.’


    Should I nip it in the bud right now? That worry crossed my mind for a moment, but not now. This is because harming a bishop who has not been charged could turn the denomination into an enemy.


    There were many eyes, including Xerath.


    “You are the famous Aiden. Nice to meet you. Forel of the South-Western Diocese.”


    “It’s an honor to meet you too. “Bishop.”


    Forel gestured, and the new soldiers quickly collected the demon’s body.


    “I’m sorry, but could I ask for your understanding before I even get rid of the fatigue that has umted from the training?”


    “Please speakfortably.”


    “Thank you. “Actually, I would like to proceed with your ordination as a Holy Knight informally here.”


    Something strange was going on. It wasmon for the Holy Knight ordination ceremony to be held at the church headquarters.


    It is traditional for the Pope to appoint people directly. Is there something important enough to ignore that? Actually, it was good for Aiden, but I asked first.


    “May I ask why?”


    “We have captured the circumstances that the Demon God Cult is active in the south of here.”


    The Demonic Church was the main enemy of the Varanche Church. It was interpreted as a devil worshiping group, but in fact, it was a route that yers could also choose.


    The upations were very diverse, including dark priests, necromancers, and dark knights.


    “If it’s the demon religion…”


    “They are ungodly people. Southern children are going missing. “It’s an established fact that they did it.”


    ‘Children’ At that word, Iden understood Forel’s intention.


    Pedophile Archbishop Forell.


    “I wouldn’t ask for anything more if you would join the punitive force. As you know, aren’t pdins rare?”


    At this point, most of the Holy Knights are probably gathered at the church headquarters.


    This is because discussions are taking ce regarding the retaking of sacred sites.


    It was a time when pdins, who were alreadycking, were more valuable. Of course, if things go as nned, the first expedition will be canceled.


    “His Holiness the Pope has already received it. If you agree, I will take office here. “Would you like to join us?”


    There will be no right of veto. Iden was also rather happy. We were able to save time traveling back and forth to the church headquarters.


    Above all, there is a possibility of pulling out the shoots called forels before they even germinate.


    “I learned that the will of the church is God’s will. “I will respond to this glorious opportunity.”


    The bishop drew a benevolent line.


    “I will remember your dedication. God’s blessings will follow.”


    The bishop pped his hands to brighten the mood.


    A new soldier handed the bishop a sword and a Bible.


    Xerath scanned the audience.


    “Everyone kneel.”


    Everyone, nobles andmoners alike, knelt facing each other with Aiden and the bishop between them.


    The sword touched Aiden’s shoulder.


    “Here, a child born with God’s blessing has grown up with God’s grace and now wants to be God’s sword. “If God allows it, your eyes will brighten the night and tear through the darkness…”


    A long reading followed. Aiden put on a pious expression and calmly lowered his head.


    Finally, the bishop finished and closed the Bible.


    “Iden. Would you like to dedicate your sword to God?”


    “I offer it up.”


    “Please wake up.”


    The bishop nodded with satisfaction.


    “You are an official Holy Knight from now on. “You have the right to summary judgment, and no one outside the church can disarm you or detain new recruits.”


    Several soldiers came into the hall grunting and carrying huge holy armor and holy swords.


    These were weapons made from minerals of the highest strength and ted with tinum.


    Xerath shook his head.


    “It amazes me every time I see it. You fight wearing something like that. Aren’t pdins human? “What do you think, Aiden?”


    Instead of answering, Iden handed over the weapons with one hand. Xerath looked very tired of that.


    “It may sound hectic, but that’s actually the situation. “I’ll give you some new recruits, so can you move them tonight?”


    Even when the old man was in heat, it seemed like he was very horny. Aiden nodded without showing his disgust.


    “I will live up to your expectations. “Bishop.”
