Dark Fantasy Pdin Chapter 35


    Episode 35


    Sea water seeped through the gaping incontinence.


    A few strands of seawater fell like rain on reeds.


    As screams were heard one by one from outside the temple, the believers looked around with bewildered expressions.


    Someone came rushing towards me and shouted.


    “Three worlds are falling apart!”


    “What do you mean!”


    The priest standing next to the altar shouted at the young man’s bullshit. However, the sound of the song was gradually increasing. The priest also recognized that things were going wrong.


    “Hello! “Go out now!”


    Several believers immediately jumped out.


    The guards surrounded Aiden and pointed their spears at him.


    Of course, I could not have predicted that the chaos spreading outdoors would be caused by his atrocities.


    The priest red at Aiden.


    “Did you dare climb up the altar? “Forget any thoughts of moving on.”


    Aiden had a calm expression.


    “Okay, so you guys go out quickly.”


    The moment the priest’s face turned red with anger, a roar like a dam bursting shook the heavens and earth.


    Quaaaaaaaaa! Screams erupted from everywhere. Sea water poured through the cracks in the barrier like a waterfall.


    The priest red intently at Aiden, trying to remember his face, and then hurriedly walked away.


    No one could keep their position. He immediately started running out of the temple.


    Soon, only Iden and Uriel remained inside.


    Yuriel stared at Aiden with a very perplexed expression. Give me your eyes. I couldn’t help but believe my ears.


    “Oh, Lord Iden? “What did you just say…”


    “You asked me to give you your eyes.”


    It wasn’t a situation worth joking about. In the first ce, Yuriel could not imagine the pdin in front of him ying with words.


    So I asked again.


    “······You asked for my eyes. “Did I hear that correctly?”


    Iden looked at Uriel with eyes that were more sincere than ever.


    “You heard correctly. “I desperately need the saint’s eyes.”


    The benefits that would arise if Iden had the Mind’s Eye were too numerous to list one by one.


    Simply put, the number of lives that can be saved will increase overwhelmingly. You will be able to get through the middle part much more easily.


    Therefore, Iden had to persuade Uriel.


    There was no way to rob it. This is because exchange was possible under the premise of mutual agreement.


    And powers can only be exchanged once. This was only possible at the ruins of the great hero Elpis.


    This was the reason the saint was brought here.


    Of course, Uriel didn’t know the inside story, and Iden couldn’t mention it either.


    Iden just hoped that she would quickly understand the meaning of ‘eyes’.


    Uriel pondered Aiden’s words. After being lost in thought for a while, she calmed down her expression.


    Yuriel looked directly into Aiden’s gaze.


    Shape to use the mind’s eye. A strange look appeared in her pupils.


    “I’m not asking you to gouge out my eyes. “Tell me exactly.”


    Iden was very satisfied with Uriel’s question.


    “If I reveal anything specifically, I will die. However, I think the saint has a vague idea of what it means.”


    The mind’s eye worked.


    I couldn’t understand what it meant to die, but it was the truth.


    But more than that, the words that followed made Yuriel increasingly freeze. She paused for a moment.


    “If I were to ask the Lord what he thinks the inner meaning is, he would of course say that he cannot answer. “With the excuse of dying.”


    “I’m sorry, but that’s right.”


    Uriel didn’t know how to ept the fact if Iden really knew the identity of the Mind’s Eye.


    The world does not know the mind’s eye.


    By nature, humans have a desire to hide. But who would want to talk to someone who steals it? There will be no one left by Yuriel’s side.


    She never revealed her powers because she knew full well that this would happen.


    However, Aiden was talking as if he knew the existence of the Mind’s Eye.


    Of course, Yuriel wasn’t sure. Because Iden didn’t say it exactly. As he said, I could only vaguely guess.


    Yuriel searched for memories. There were definitely times when Iden’s words and actions felt questionable.


    Representative stories were shared in Tegain’s office.


    Whether Iden himself believes in God or not.


    What is the reason to deny God in front of the saint of the church?


    Iden, who ys a devout holy knight, seemed to have no reason to say that to a saint.


    ‘Why are you saying this to me?’ If I had asked such a question then, Iden would have said, ‘Didn’t the saint ask you first?’ I would have answered that much.


    The Iden that Yuriel saw was that kind of person. Also, in reality, a simr answer would have been returned.


    Yuriel, who had been lost in thought, opened her mouth again. Before I knew it, water was sshing on the floor.


    “He did not hesitate to use profanity in front of me, a saint.”


    Yuriel was turning to ask. Did you tell your true feelings because you expected the truth to be discovered anyway?


    “Maybe that’s the reason…”


    “That’s right.”


    Yuriel’s time stopped.


    The unexpected assumption turned out to be true and hit her hard on the head.


    “How…”


    Does the Holy Knight in front of me also have the power to read others? Otherwise, there is no exnation. There was no basis for him to know the mind’s eye.


    “sorry. “I can’t tell you.”


    Yuriel wrinkled his face for the first time. It was still beautiful, but even more chilly.


    The voice that followed also became cold and chilling.


    “Do you respect me?”


    Aiden bowed his head slightly.


    “of course.”


    It was true.


    “The Lord asked me to see his eyes.”


    The ban was lifted.


    “you’re right.”


    “Is that possible here?”


    “That’s right.”


    “Then the reason you dragged me in was to gain your inner peace.”


    “you’re right.”


    Yuriel’s expression darkened, but soon turned cold.


    “Was the conversation you had with me the cornerstone for taking my eyes?”


    “There was a reason for that.”


    Sadness melted into Yuriel’s face. She turned around. I wanted to hide my expression. He was silent for a long time and then chanted in a low voice.


    “You’ve had many opportunities to tell me.”


    I need your eyes. If the inn had told me, I might not have felt this miserable feeling.


    “I wasn’t sure if the saint woulde down to the deep sea even after hearing about my intentions.”


    “It sounds like since I’m isted here, even if I refuse, they’ll just take it by force.”


    “That’s not it. “Just look at me first.”


    “······no, I do not want.”


    Yuriel’s shoulders trembled slightly.


    Aiden said with a low sigh.


    “Even if the saint refuses, I have no choice. Moreover, that is not the only reason they were brought to the deep sea. “Didn’t I promise you that I would answer your questions about God?”


    Yuriel made a dejected expression. It was turned around so Iden couldn’t see it.


    “Lord, who always proves his results with results, must have everything in mind this time as well. I guess I was part of the n this time. So what are you going to use me for, whose faith has copsed? Of course, you’ll say you can’t answer that.”


    Yuriel smiled bitterly.


    “It is difficult for me to understand what the Lord is looking at.”


    “Please just know that it is not for my own self-interest.”


    “Of course you will, so even this time would be a waste. “If you want it, just give it to me.”


    Although Iden did not fully understand Uriel’s feelings, he felt that she was hurt.


    Even if he tried to persuade Yuriel with lies, it had the opposite effect.


    “It’s not a waste of time.”


    Because there was nothing that could be done until Antis was submerged.


    “I’m not asking for an answer right away. I will give you plenty of time to think about it. “Please decide when my ims about God are proven.”


    The evidence was in the remains of Elpis.


    In the first ce, powers could only be exchanged inside the ruins, so there was plenty of time until Antis waspletely liberated and visitors were eligible to visit.


    Yuriel sat on the stairs inside and looked at the rising sea water for a long time.


    Iden had nothing to add. In fact, I was thinking that it was more likely that she would refuse.


    Even so, it was a benefit.


    She informed me that she was aware of her powers and lifted the ban, making it much easier to use her mind’s eye in certain situations.


    Additionally, Iden was able to twist the slowly deteriorating plot by revealing her mind’s eye to the public.


    It would be very unfortunate not to hand it over, but this amount of ie was eptable enough.


    From now on, it was Yuriel’s discretion.


    A quiet moment passed with no one speaking. The screamsing from outside were gradually bing fainter.


    The temple itself was not a tall building, so the inside was half filled with water.


    Soon, the altar began to submerge in seawater.


    “Saint, from now on, never leave my side.”


    Yuriel nodded silently.


    The level of sleep getting higher and higher. The moment the altar was swept away by the sea water, a cloud of blue light flowed from the small statue of the goddess and enveloped the temple.


    Shan’s thoughts that had been sealed appear.


    Her body was torn to pieces by Bacheksar and scattered in all directions, but her soul is immortal, so the sea god has always been here to watch over her followers.


    『Mortal.』


    A beautiful tone seeped into Aiden’s ears.


    『Did Bacheksar send you?』


    “No. “I came of my own volition.”


    『Are you saying that He has never forgiven this sinner? Then you are driving the children of the sea to death.』


    Excluding the fact that the mermaids heading tond were originally humans. They were pagans to begin with.


    The church never condones the act of heretics setting foot on the empire’snds.


    Burning at the stake and burying alive awaited the Seyrun tribe.


    That was originally the case.


    However, as long as the seal was lifted using Shinwiju, benevolence was an unwritten rule.


    It could be said that the religious order was an indulgence that could never be vited. This was the reason why Yona searched for Shin Wiju so much.


    “I didn’t drive you to death.”


    As soon as the words were finished, a feeling of tightness enveloped Iden and Yuriel. It was because Shan was angry.


    『Even if you embrace God, it is useless if He does not do it for you. Do you think Bacheksar would tolerate such expedients?’


    Uriel went into a state of half-joking and began to moan in pain. Aiden answered while suppressing the pain pressing on his chest.


    “It’s been two hundred years since God hasn’te down.”


    『He ascended to heaven?』


    “I don’t know. Rather, if this woman dies, I will definitely kill your family.”


    Yuriel should not have died now.


    Shan, left alone, can kill Uriel, but he cannot do any more harm to Aiden.


    The pressure disappeared like a ghost. Yuriel fell to the floor and took a deep breath.


    『······That’s rude.』


    Shan was silent for a moment and then spoke again.


    『It is true that I have been indebted to you, so I will do my duty.』


    Messages poured out simultaneously before Aiden’s eyes.


    『The one who broke the shackles has been bestowed with prestige and power.』


    The liberator of Antis. It was a useful title in many ways.


    And the power was tattooed on Iden’s wrist.


    『Deny the death of others. It’s only once, so you have to be careful.』


    If Uriel agrees, it was the power to exchange for the Mind’s Eye.


    Before we knew it, sea water was filling the temple.


    Most of the ground was flooded, so there wasn’t much left. Iden picked up the moaning Uriel.


    The destination was the ruins of Elpis located in Antis.


    I walked down into the water without even looking back.
