The Paladin Owns the Relic chapter 185

185 – Advent (3)

A day at the orphanage was devastating. It wasn’t that they weren’t starving just because they were inside. Rather, it just makes you more hungry.

There was nothing to eat inside or outside. The reason I was able to fill my hungry stomach was because Han Seo-ah took me around.

“Han Seo-ah.”

“Huh?”

“…Why do you help me?”

“Help, what do you do?”

Seoah Han pushed my back.

“He who does not work must not eat.”

The first thing I did after covering my face with a cloth was handing out flyers.

The store owner used to look at me with suspicious eyes, but I was easily fooled by Han Seo-ah’s tricks. Handing out flyers wasn’t too difficult.

On the contrary, I felt relieved that I was doing the same thing as others. It was nice to work all day and get the money in my hands.

It’s only half of what adults earn, but with that alone you can avoid starvation.

“I always put money in my clothes. If the director finds out, it will be taken away.”

“I don’t have pockets.”

“Put it inside your underwear. It doesn’t flow very gently. Do not insert coins. It’s cold.”

“……”

The time I spent with Han Seo-ah was the first thing I experienced since I was born.

She didn’t show my real face to anyone, but just by being around her, I was treated like anyone else.

I glanced at the alcove. The place where I was always confined was still dark.

I don’t want to go back.

“What should I eat?”

“……”

Han Seo-ah, who was drooling, reached out her hand.

“Is there anything you want to eat?”

I held Seoah Han’s hand tightly.

“…Anything.”

“Do you want to die?”

“Really, anything is fine.”

If only I could be with you.

. . .

The wind blew. Her hair was in a mess. I turned the spear and let the blade of the wind flow.

Kwagagagagagakgagak!!!

A sharp sound that bursts in succession. The scattered flames mixed inside and blew up the surrounding area. A case where my power was used against me.

It’s not a particularly compatible opponent. The flames are bound to be blown away by the wind.

I looked up. I saw the spirit wrapped in the wind growing up. A resounding thunderclap. A sharp electric shock caused by wind friction.

Guardian of Wind.

Not one but three spirits I had encountered before were coming down.

The rising dragon and the flowing water fox.

The wind giant growled.

“You…”

They weren’t looking at me. The gazes of the three guardians were on Duran.

“Duraaan!!!”

“Why is the knight of the forest there?!”

“Did you betray me!”

“It is not betrayal.”

Duran proudly straightened his shoulders.

“I just realized what I really need to do.”

“…Did I eat something wrong?”

“I bet you are like me.”

Duran spoke confidently.

“Is there anyone here who wishes for His Majesty’s death?”

“……”

“……”

“……”

The Guardians were silent.

“Aren’t we all combed by His Majesty’s hand? It is rather far from the roots of the World Tree.”

“…Duran. I don’t even call him him anymore.”

The wind guardian said.

“Is that the only reason you rebelled?”

“It’s not just that.”

“I knew there was a focus somewhere, but…”

He sighed deeply.

“Your Majesty wanted it. This… Is the same as going against His Majesty’s will. What if you, who should respect her the most, do this?”

“How can she be sure that it is His Majesty’s will?”

“What?”

“If there is another clear refusal from His Majesty’s mouth, then I will turn around.”

“Are you a psychopath?”

“You can call me anything. I haven’t shown my best to her yet.”

Duran aimed his sword at an angle.

“Do not block. Tutelar. I have to go to His Majesty.”

“…What is this…”

The Wind Guardian sighed. The giant’s eyes touched me for the first time.

“Is that what you did?”

“Do you refuse to give way?”

“…Rejection. Of course We are those who uphold the will of Your Majesty. Even though the forest knight is corrupted, we will stop you.”

“It is not corruption…”

“Shut up. You crazy What is this… The one fighting in the end is a former colleague…”

The Guardian of Wind gnashed his teeth.

“Duran. Listen carefully. If you want to convey your proud will to His Majesty… Show me the weight of your determination. Okay? If it penetrates us and reaches His Majesty, then I will acknowledge it. I mean your whims.”

“Whoa. For a moment.”

“……?”

I tapped Duran on the shoulder.

“It’s a three-on-three match, so let’s switch partners.”

“…What?”

“No, it’s easy to win, so let’s mix it up. I’m not a fan of wind giants, am I? So you take it.”

“Are you kidding me in front of me?”

“What is a joke?”

I pushed Duran. He exchanged glances with Alpina.

“Water? Soil? Which?”

“…I can’t fight properly because I’m exhausted. So… Zahard.”

Alpina walked towards the water fox.

“Hurry up and help me.”

I grinned.

“As ordered.”

The toryong glared at me. The growling body was covered in metal.

“Do you dare to look down on me…?”

“What do you think is funny?”

I swung the bruenak. The torch attached to the end of the blade flew wildly.

“Do you know what it is like?”

“……?”

“To go easy, you have to understand… It’s better to just feel it with your body. Right?”

It moved.

The air burst. The dragon’s eyes widened at the sudden movement.

I moved my body in a hurry, but it was slow. It took time for the giant to return.

Direct hit.

The tip of the spear dug into the hard metal. The Earth Guardian, who was embarrassed for a moment, laughed out loud.

“How stupid! My body is just such a spear blade…!”

Kwadeuk.

The blade of the spear with the sacred fire pierced his side.

“Gaaa?!”

The Toryong struggled. Instead of blood, dirt leaked out of his pierced side.

“Metal is weak against fire. Baby.”

“You, what are you!”

“It’s a paladin!”

“The tone of a gangster…Gaaa!!!”

I hit the hood. Played with Occasionally, metal shards mixed with resistance came flying, but they all bounced off.

[Use partial apotheosis (SS).]

There was no need to save strength. Now that the Guardians are out, it’s like the enemy’s best power has come out.

Halo was born in a burning torch. A shadow fell from the horn that rose above his head and swallowed my back.

A remnant that embraces the body. The body closer to God shone.

I can’t pull out the demonic sword Surt, but…

A situation that is already strong in itself.

“I want to help too!”

“If you don’t have Amar, you will have holy power. Prohibition.”

“Heeing…”

I swung the bruenak behind the grouchy Beatrice. Beatrice asked abruptly in the passing wind.

“Zahard. Do you think you know about the unique surname?”

“I don’t know. I’m still at a loss. But looking back while learning it helped.”

“…When you wield the demonic sword Surt, right?! The sword of the heart that I showed you then!”

“It’s a bit grandiose to express it, but… Anyway, I got something.”

It is not a grandiose step of putting one’s heart into it, but an intermediate step.

To firmly hold in my hands what I want to achieve.

I turned the window around. I gently rotated the huge metal pillar that flew up.

Receive and pour out. Changdae, faithful to those two things, moved quietly.

Quaaa!!!

The metal pole was hit in the wrong place. The toryong trembled.

“How can you do that with just one spear like a toothpick?!”

“I don’t know what it means to put my heart into it, but I can control my body a little more.”

I glanced down at Beatrice.

“How are you? Master.”

“…Uh…Uhhh…!”

Beatrice’s eyes twinkled.

“My student is a genius! You have to spread the word in the neighborhood!!!”

“Before spreading rumors, we will take care of lizards first.”

I took Brunak in my hand. I inhaled and leaned over.

[Use ‘Sniper Strike (SSS)’.]

In the first place, the bruenak was not a spear to be held and wielded, but a weapon created for javelin use.

The tip of the tilted spear caught fire. A huge whirlwind of fire wrapped around the end like a spiral.

[Holy Destruction – Use Luin (S).]

Enveloping transmogrification. The Toryong, who was raising his body and regenerating his wounds, flinched.

“Now, wait!”

“Wait a minute!”

He stretched out his hand.

The blown bruenak split into hundreds.

“Busy! Baby!”

“Gaaa!!!”

. . .

Alpina’s body was pushed all the way back. Water Tan.

Innumerable lumps of water that floated up into the sky drove without a break.

The holy sword Ascalon flashed. Cracked earth and crushed building fragments.

Alpina’s body quickly passed through the street. A torch flashed in the rising dust.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve had a real fight…And an opponent of the same class…!”

Power is not enough. But it’s not enough. Ascalon is a divine power that can store holy power.

Insufficient holy power is brought to the previously stored holy power. As it is stored, it is inferior to the original quality, but it is powerful nonetheless.

Transformation that naturally wraps around the outside of Ascalon. Its shape was the same as the original.

In the first place, Ascalon itself is a divine being. It was the same thing written in Ra’s bible.

A faint halo floated over Arpina’s head. Arpina’s eyes flashed with her partial apotheosis.

I am not an apostle.

But even so, it surpasses ordinary apostles.

That is the voice of the church. The position of Cardinal, representing all the followers of Ra, was a place that even the Pope could not touch.

Arpina, excited about her return after a long time, took her step.

“Do not die…!”

Quaaa!!

The water fox was bombarded by fire spears protruding from its side.

Push shuk.

The water was scattered. In a sudden surprise, the water fox crashed into the building. Arpina hiccuped briefly.

The flame slowly disappeared from Ascalon, which I couldn’t even stretch out. The same goes for partial apotheosis.

Zahard sat down beside him and grinned.

“You came quickly, right?”

“…Too…”

Arpina shyly put Ascalon in.

“You came too soon…”
