Episode 25 .
I wanted to move right away, but the sun was already creeping over.
Euron passed out, and Daryl and Sain were clearly exhausted.
Even thinking about it, Aiden couldn’t remember getting enough sleep lately.
“Senior, I will leave tomorrow as soon as the sun rises, so can I take care of you for one night?”
“What old man refuses to talk? Do whatever you like.”
If you live alone in a remote area where people are rare, you must be lonely. But I was a little puzzled.
“There must be some attendants, but I can’t see them.”
“dead. He went hunting and never came back. I can’t even remember how many years it’s been.”
“Why don’t you ask again? I will dispatch you.”
“Arthur. I have no intention of putting useless young people on the periphery and stopping them from making a career.”
“There will be plenty of applicants.”
It was obvious that people with a passion for the sword would gather from all over the empire. It’s because it’s the swordsman’s attendant.
“done. Rather, what was Shinsoo thinking? Are you going to starve?”
Daryl smiled and approached.
“Who am I? I’ll take you to the demon hunter. There are quite a few by-products that are collected for sale. hahahaha.”
Cyclops’ eyeballs, incubus testicles, and dwarf sinews are sold at high prices.
When Daryl opened his backpack, Unipeg smelled the rice like a ghost and rushed at it.
“Ooh!”
Daryl stunned and fell backwards. Sain smiled and stared at Unipeg.
He wanted to touch it, but he hesitated for fear of getting in a bad way.
Unipeg sniffed, sticking his nose in the box of by-products.
“Shall I open it?”
Sain carefully opened the cover, and the foal started eating.
“Hey, Holy Knight. Have you decided on a name for this child?”
I didn’t have anything in mind.
Aiden also used his whistle to address Petra, but he did not call her name. In the first place, Petra was also a title given to her by the Church.
“Call me anything. It doesn’t matter if you build it.”
“Can you really?”
I thought I didn’t know what it was that made me smile so brightly.
“It’s okay.”
Sein pondered for a while, then drew something in the air with the tip of his index finger.
A cloud of blue light flowed from her fingertips as she wrote down the words.
Iden was an unrecognizable character.
“Yupe. how is it?”
“Is it an abbreviation? As long as it’s easy to call, it doesn’t matter. Let’s do it.”
Giellan, who was listening next to him, murmured.
“It also symbolizes nobility as a rune.”
“that’s right. It can also mean pure white.”
“Nice, doesn’t look bad.”
Aiden nodded and approached the colt who was absorbed in his meal.
“Yupe.”
He leaned over and stroked his head.
“Your name is Yupe from now on.”
Yupe seemed to be able to understand the words, and made a pleasant sound. His eyes reflected in the lamplight were shining brightly.
Aiden looked out the window.
Night had already come and dyed the snowfield dark.
“Everyone, take a break. We have to leave as soon as the sun rises tomorrow.”
Daryl and Sain nodded and sat down, while Aiden asked Gielan politely.
“Senior, can I ask for a favor?”
Geomseong smiled as if he had been waiting for it.
“Hey kid, let’s see your skills.”
*
The territory of the Viscount of Iceland in the northern part of the Empire.
Footprints were impatiently stamped in the pure white snow.
Three men ran through the snowy field with pale faces.
Someone started lagging behind.
“What are you doing! Squeeze even the strength you sucked!”
“Don’t slow down, you bastard!”
Despite the urgent cries of his colleagues, the man gradually lost his speed.
“sh*t.”
The man in the lead shouted as the large man turned and headed for his weary comrade.
“lakh! Did you freak out because you wanted to go after you too?!”
“Then shall we leave? You too go first! hurry!”
“f*ck.”
The man in the lead immediately ran to his colleague who was lagging behind.
The two of them supported one another and started running again.
The man who was supported also tried to roll his feet, but there was no strength in his legs.
Her lower body, drooping like exhaustion, dragged through the snow.
I couldn’t help it. Because these vigilantes from Mutan Village ran non-stop all day long, there was no way they had any stamina left.
“Leave it and go. Everyone dies like this.”
His eyes were already half open.
“Stop talking bullsh*t, shut your mouth. Just think of your mother.”
“Yeah, kid. Are you going to let me die in that f*cking castle? Or run.”
They managed to escape from the farm, and now they had to leave the manor.
I was thinking of finding the nearest parish office and asking for help, but in fact it was impossible.
This is because most of the nearby denominations withdrew to the south. To avoid the descent of the demi-humans.
Other territories within the radius were also empty.
It was an evacuation operation in Paladin, Tyrun, but this place was a failure.
Because he was defeated on the farm. He lost all his troops to the vampire and barely survived and escaped alone.
They didn’t have the energy to reorganize the subjugation party, so the Icelandic territory was virtually abandoned.
It was a problem that could be solved only when the discussion on recapture of the holy land was over and the manpower was released.
All three of them had a rough understanding of the situation.
“……Where are we going?”
“Go south. God will surely help. For sure.”
“god? It’s good. I just wonder what more I can give you to help me.”
Since the lord’s enormous donation to the church came from their blood and sweat, it deserved to be reciprocated even at this time.
It seemed to be missing one.
The exhausted man pushed the group away and spread out on their faces in the snow.
“Please leave me alone. It catches up like this.”
“You bastard! What about your mother!”
“So it is like this. Go quickly.”
If they are annihilated, there will be no porridge or food. Someone had to survive to be able to ask for help from the church.
The two men bit their lips.
“Please be successful. f*ck.”
At that time, three or four appeared in the forest they had just escaped from.
Its appearance was similar to that of a human, but its eyes were red and the epidermis on its face was hideously shrunken.
It was a disharmonious shape, as if an old man’s skin was overlaid on a young man’s face.
Giggling, they walked slowly, laughing at what was so interesting.
They played with their feet on the footprints left by the men.
The faces of the three fugitives were whiter than snow.
“Uh, how already…”
One pursuer burst into laughter.
“What’s up? There were plenty of opportunities. I hope you ostracized us. What, don’t you believe that?”
“Poop, do you really think so?”
To the vampires, all this was entertainment. Just as a cat releases a mouse and then captures it again, they were playing hunting.
tired of one
When the toy gets tired, the cat loses interest.
“Shall we eat here?”
“No. Let’s peel it in front of everyone. Cut off limbs too.”
“Are you okay? Others won’t even dare to run away.”
“yes. Humans can’t stand being sick even when they die.”
From noble mtl dot com
Those who were giggling like that had already arrived right in front of the man.
The vigilantes stiffened with fear and could not move. Ordinary humans could not stand the vampire’s gaze.
At this point, even atheists cry out to God. With a feeling of grabbing at least a straw, please have mercy just once. I had to pray earnestly.
So did the men. They believed in God, but in the end they doubted it. There was still no hill to lean on but God.
The hideous vampire gently brushed the large man’s cheek.
“Sah, save me…”
“Are you going to tell me to kill you soon? You hate being sick more than dying.”
It was a moment when I had no doubt that God had turned away.
Wedge liquid! The atmosphere behind my back screamed. The hairs all over her body stood on end. The sound came closer in an instant, and the vampire withdrew his laughter.
As something snapped at the hunk’s ear lobe,
The demon’s arm was crushed like powder.
Black blood and pieces of crushed flesh splattered across the man’s face.
He didn’t even have time to recognize the situation.
Where the vampire had flown far away, a huge blade was sticking out.
It was like siege equipment for breaking down a castle wall.
The vampires were agitated in unison. As the fugitives turned their heads back, they saw someone approaching.
A knight wearing platinum armor and driving a huge warhorse.
“Stand, paladin…”
He sprinted past the men at full speed. A few more followed after him.
“Capture him alive.”
“Yes, I checked!”
“All right!”
It was Daryl and Euron.
Aiden snatched the vampire who was trying to run away in an instant and fixed it to a spike attached to the horse’s saddle.
Dismissed! A nail pierced the vampire’s chest and protruded.
He immediately caught another one, secured it to the saddle, and looked at Euron and Daryl.
As Daryl chained the vampire, Euron slashed the vampire in the leg with a knife. so you can’t run away.
There were three in total.
The vigilantes watched the scene with bewildered expressions.
Aiden pulled the vampire who had lost an arm from the nail.
As I grabbed his neck and lifted him up, he went mad.
It threatened with its long fangs and screamed.
Key, eee
Aiden looked at him with a calm expression.
“Listen, they say that humans hate pain more than death. Are vampires different?”
He immediately tore off one of his remaining arms. The boy let out a terrible scream and howled.
“Please beg me to kill you too.”
Then he twisted and tore off one of his legs.
The vampire’s red pupils burned even more red.
As Iden placed his hand on his remaining limb, the answer he wanted came out of his mouth.
He immediately folded his spine and threw it into the snow.
Yufe jumped out of Aiden’s arms and began to eat the vampire’s corpse.
To the vigilantes, the whole scene didn’t feel real.
“Leave the other two alive.”
“I get it.”
“I’ll keep it tight.”
Aiden got off his horse and approached the men who were stiff.
“It’s a paladin. Are you guys Yeongjimin?”
The men couldn’t speak properly, as if their throats were clogged.
Aiden breathed divine power into the tip of his index finger and brought it in front of their eyes. The men were then able to calm down.
immediately fell to the floor.
“God’s eyes.”
“Sir, see the paladin.”
Aiden immediately raised them to their feet.
“I asked if it was Young Ji-min.”
“Yeah, yes. We are the vigilantes of Mutan Village.”
“Have you run away from the farm?”
“sorry. We just…”
“I’m not trying to punish you. I will ask about the farm situation and structure, so be alert and answer straight.”
The large man tightened his chest and opened his mouth slowly.
“······The vampire is over forty, and the so-called pureblood is ruling. Even the residents of nearby villages were caught and imprisoned in the manor, so the number of people is quite large. They force breeding, and they take out three or four a day to catch and eat them.”
Aiden nodded.
“let’s go.”
The hedgehog spoke cautiously.
“Well, in fact, a paladin visited a while ago, but one was too strong to stop running…”
Aiden climbed Petra.
“I am different. Get in the back.”
