The paladin does not back down
[quest]
Save Idelia.
On failure, the quest to find the missing child fails.
‘I was going anyway. Instead of useless quests, give something helpful.’
Hyeonjun, who had been silently watching this, approached the priests.
“He said he would kill the children if the divine power reached him. How about me?”
At those words, the battle priests hurriedly turned around. They even forgot that Hyun Joon was there.
“You said you received divine protection, are you okay?”
“Wait, wait.”
The priest, who had been crying on his stomach, hurriedly got up and approached Hyeon-jun, holding his hand and sending out his divine power. After a while, he gained divine power and said with a bright face.
“it’s okay! The divine protection is inside the body, so if it doesn’t directly touch the inside…!”
Even when the priest said what he said, he stopped in surprise. The other priests grabbed him by the shoulders and carefully separated him from Hyeonjun. Another priest spoke to Hyeon-jun with a tear-stained, gloomy face.
“That power erodes and burns any creature it touches. We can push it away with divine power, but brother, even if he passes undetected, it will be a threat to his life.”
“How much is the erosion?”
“It depends on the contact time, but with just a slight touch, it penetrates deep into the skin. It is too risky.”
Hyeonjun removed the gauntlet and glove from his left hand and silently drew out his dagger. Hyeonjun bought 1 regeneration at the store. Even after buying body enhancements, he has never been hurt in battle. Test its power now.
“Stop!”
When Hyeon-jun raised the dagger, the priest hurriedly tried to block it, but Hyeon-jun’s hand was much faster. The dagger swung like a shot, cutting deeply through his forearm. Even the toughened skin from the strengthening of the body was cut by the knife, and blood poured out in an instant because it could not be recovered.
“What are you doing!”
Hyeonjun blocked the priest who was trying to heal with divine power and stared at the wound. And I felt a strange flow form in his body, gathering at the wound. It’s as if ice cold water runs through your veins.
“no!”
Hearing the startled sound of the priest, Hyeonjun wiped the blood off his forearm. The wound has healed considerably and the bleeding has subsided. You can see it recovering in real time. Hyeonjun nodded and showed the priest his forearm.
“Please treat me now.”
“Yes, yes…”
The priest treated Hyeon-jun’s wound with a bewildered face. Hyeonjun rubbed his bloody forearm to make sure that there was not a single scar left, and said while putting on his gloves and gauntlet.
“Isn’t this enough?”
The priests looked at each other’s faces. Hope and confusion were on their faces.
“It might be okay if you cover yourself well.”
“It’s too dangerous. If you do it wrong, you may lose your life or be crippled.”
“If you treat…”
“Who will treat you? Sister Deliana went to negotiate with nobles, and I don’t know where Brother Zilenai is.”
“mmm…”
“liquid medicine! Do you have any potion?”
“Does anyone have one?”
“Oh…the recent situation has not been good, so I used it before and couldn’t buy it.”
“me too···.”
“Idee will have it.”
“yes! I will bring it right away!”
“Please wait a moment.”
As the story progressed, a priest suddenly stopped everyone.
“Brother June. It looked ugly. There is no reason for you to risk your life. Please think again.”
He was also a priest who cried out and collapsed when Idelia left. However, even while shedding tears, she is worried about Hyeon-jun. At that, the other priests also withdrew with gloomy faces. One priest is whimpering to swallow his tears. Hyeonjun sighed at this situation, which he had become accustomed to, and said.
“I have a problem too. If you won’t help me, I’ll just go.”
“hehehehe…”
The priest, who had been holding back his tears, fell to his knees at Hyun-jun’s words and wept bitterly.
“sorry. sorry. brother I won’t ask you to forgive these ugly bastards. Please, please save the children and Ide! I will gladly accept any punishment later!”
He bowed his head and sobbed. When other priests made suspicious gestures, Hyeon-jun grabbed him and raised him up.
“Don’t do this. If even one person does this again, I will just leave.”
Even though the priests were crying, they nodded firmly and exchanged opinions again.
“However, you cannot expose yourself to the power of Tahman with your bare body. Please bring as many futons as possible in the temple.”
“I’m going to get the potion.”
The priests dispersed in an instant, leaving only one. The priest, who was left alone, approached Hyeon-jun, knelt down, and loosened the sword of Karios from his belt.
“Swords and armor also have divine power, so they will be discovered. Please take off your armor for a while.”
“No, even if you say it, I’ll take care of it…”
“Listen carefully. We will wrap you up in a blanket as much as possible and throw you outside.”
Ignoring Hyeon-jun’s words, the priest released the sword and then began to take off the other side of the snake brace Hyeon-jun was taking off as well.

“yes?”
“Before throwing, hold the potion in your mouth and hold the rest in your hand. You need to swallow the potion as soon as we throw it and spray the rest on the heavily eroded area. How many potions are left…”
“Two bottles!”
“That’s good!”
The priest who went to get the potion ran and shouted. Meanwhile, other priests also gathered in the courtyard carrying blankets.
“Start with the big ones.”
The priests began laying the blankets in order, from the bottom to the big one.
“Stop, any more than this will only get in the way.”
“Brother here.”
When enough blankets were laid, the priest handed Hyeon-jun a potion. As Hyeon-jun said, he took a large sip and held the rest in his hand, blocking the entrance. The other bottle tucked nicely into a small bag on my belt.
“Come here.”
“You need to curl up as much as possible and protect your head with your arms.”
Following their instructions, Hyeon-jun climbed onto the blanket and rolled up as much as he could. He laughed at himself, but he couldn’t say anything because he had a potion in his mouth. The priests first covered Hyeon-jun’s head with several layers of blankets, then rolled them up and carefully checked to make sure there were no gaps, then added the blankets.
“It seems to have worked.”
“Brother, don’t forget. We have to swallow it the moment we throw it.”
“Mmm.”
The priests nodded at Hyeon-jun’s non-answer and lifted the bundle of blankets low.
“The longer you are exposed, the more dangerous it is. I will throw it a little harder.”
Then he threw it lightly, like throwing a pebble. However, the results were not light. The bundle of blankets that Hyeon-joon was in flew to the ground at a speed so fast that it was unthinkable that even one person would throw it. It was thrown so hard that even after it passed through the black fog and hit the ground, it did not slow down and crashed into the building on the other side. Hyeonjun immediately swallowed the potion in his mouth. At first I thought it was fine. But right after that, a pain came over her body as if she was being burned by fire.
“Keuheuuu!”
I couldn’t even scream. He couldn’t even drink the potion he was holding. All she could do was grit her teeth and keep her body from twisting in pain. It was fortunate that the head was well protected. The limbs and back exposed to the force are shaved off as if insects were eating them, causing excruciating pain. If the head had been exposed, the eyes would have been burned, and if it was severe, the power would have penetrated the nose and ears and burned the brain and internal organs.
“Keuh… heh… heh heuuu…”
The hellish time passed and the pain gradually subsided. As the erosion spread widely, the whole body was in insane pain, but it was covered by the blanket and not exposed much. With the power of regeneration, the wounds quickly healed, and now they are all gone. But Hyunjoon couldn’t move.
“Heh… heh…”
The teeth dug into the gums in the clenched jaw, and blood poured out along with saliva. Even after all the wounds had been healed, it was as if only the pain remained to support the brain. In the end, Hyun-joon was able to remove the blanket and stand up after more than 10 minutes. Fortunately or unfortunately, there was no one wandering around the whole city and no one touched him.
“Hey Karios! thank you!”
On the other side, the priests who had been kneeling and praying jumped up and shouted. Hyeonjun stood up, took a step, then stumbled and fell.
“Brother!”
“Heh… Heh… You didn’t tell me… that it hurts like this… You bastards…”
In the end, he threw a double bath on the priests. In fact, it would have been impossible for a normal person to even maintain their sanity. It is a pain that is different from pouring oil all over the body and burning it with fire, but it is abnormal to get up and even walk after only 10 minutes. I feel the power of mental enhancement, but I’d rather faint.
“Brother! Are you all right!”
“Brother! oh my god! Hey Carios! What have we done!”
While the priests were making a fuss, Hyeon-joon barely managed to keep himself on the ground.
“Huh…”
Just by touching the rough soil with his hand, that excruciating pain came to mind, and now the disappearing wound constantly tormented Hyeon-jun. Hyeon-joon trembled, suffering from phantom pain. But in the end, he gritted his teeth and stood up. He staggered for a moment, unable to keep his balance, but managed to stand upright. My body still feels like it’s burning.
“Brother! Are you okay!”
“Whoa…”
Hyeonjun carefully lowered his head and checked his pants. Fortunately, the pants were clean. Hyeonjun looked up and saw the priests. In an instant, only two eyes were glowing on his pale and emaciated face.
“You’re lucky I didn’t pee. If I did, I would come back and slit my testicles until they ooze out.”
It was a pain that literally killed Hyeon-jun, who was humble and polite, and turned him into a dog. Without the mental enhancement, he would have died of shock.
“mmm…”
The priests instantly fell silent at that creepy bluff. But he soon came to his senses and spoke urgently.
“Brother! we are running out of time! Please take care of the children and Idelia!”
Hyeonjun muttered a curse and barely stepped out. The sensitive senses were rather poisonous. Every small shock that is transmitted as you step forward becomes an unbearable pain and returns. But even so, Hyeon-jun roughly wiped the blood dripping from his mouth, made up his mind, and ran without hesitation.
“Khaaa!”
It feels like my brain is going to burn out. The eyes turned yellow, then turned white again. everything is blurry His sense of balance is messed up and he has no idea how he is moving. An unbearable scream burst out, and the blood vessels in his nose ruptured due to the force he had entered, causing nosebleeds to flow. Still, it ran without stopping. I’ve already wasted too much time.
“hook! hook! hook!”
And soon after, Hyeon-jun’s posture, which had been messing around with his limbs playing separately, gradually changed to a stable posture. The phantom pain still remained, but it ran nonetheless. This is something that simply cannot be done with the power of mental enhancement alone. your body is unfamiliar It’s as if someone else is moving their body. The pain is not one’s own, but it feels distant as if it were someone else’s. Only the mind is constantly crying out to run towards the goal.
‘This is definitely a trace left by him.’
You can’t see it, but you can clearly feel its ominous power. ok, now i get it This is the power I felt in Bimarun. However, there is a clear difference between quality and quantity. If the power I felt in Bimarn was the sun, now this power is just a candle. Then there is no need to be afraid.
‘can win. can kill After all, he wouldn’t have been able to get out of the category of common sense. If it was that strong, there’s no way the paladin wouldn’t have come.’
My mind, muddled with pain, barely managed to continue thinking. Anger made him run, reason whispered what he should do. In a stormy stream of emotions and thoughts, he ran through the streets that had begun to darken without losing himself.
