The Paladin Owns the Relic

79 – Battle of Paramer (4)

In the formation divided into four, Ashwal Haltz stuttered his voice.

I’m trying to organize my position, but the more I do it, the more ambiguous it becomes.

“That’s… That’s why… Dimona, the heretic judge from the Church of Ra. I brought 54 Heretic Questioners… I’m currently a deserter… Is that right?”

“Yes.”

Dimona nodded neatly. The Heretic Questioners standing behind whispered.

“I understand why the Snake Church came, but what are those mercenaries?”

“How far do you have your personal connections, brother?”

“Can’t it be that the amount of support money that has increased recently…was it thanks to you brother?”

” Mr. And Mrs. I couldn’t have imagined it.”

Ashwal sighed. He glanced at the side of the Serpent Church.

“So this is Estelle, an apostle from the naga church. The paladin under your command is 46. You mean you brought all the holy knights called the Black Scales? Are you also a deserter?”

“Yes.”

Estel nodded with her characteristic expressionless face. The paladins standing behind whispered.

“I heard that the Heretic Questioners escaped?”

“Why?”

“I don’t know. He must have tried to abandon Priest Zahard.”

“Abandon that talent? They are bastards with no eyes to see.”

“Let’s suggest picking it up right now.”

“How do you write a person from the Sunsin Church?”

“Don’t you think he could be used as a maid?”

“Agree.”

Ashbal turned his head. He glanced at the last group.

“To a group of mercenaries… The purpose of the request is to rescue people in Paramer. The total number of people is 512. Right? And that’s Hector, the general manager.”

“No, that’s right.”

“If the example is awkward, there is no need to wear it.”

“Ah, thank you.”

The mercenaries behind Hector whispered.

From noble mtl dot com.

“I think I came here for nothing?”

“I came here because the commission was high, but it’s a mess from the outside.”

“I heard there’s a monster in there?”

“Of course you didn’t fall behind, right?”

“I’ll just pretend to search and then go back.”

Ashbal wiped his face. He thought the story would end with just the deserted soldiers from the Church of Ra, but the scale grew.

Senseless sacrifice. Even if they did, there was no reason to stop them, but Ashbal decided to intervene.

“I don’t know who Zahard is, but Paramer is a piece of sh*t. I don’t think there will be any survivors.”

“Ah, if that’s the case, I’m alive.”

My eyes were focused. Hector, wearing a hood, awkwardly raised his hand.

“So… We signed a contract or something, but at least we can check each other’s survival. Captain Zahard isn’t dead yet…”

Dimona collapsed. I slipped and fell off her chair.

“Yeah, I knew it! I said! A human who will survive like a cockroach even if the sky collapses!”

Isabella put her hands together and prayed.

“Thank you… Thank you… Mr. Naga…”

The Heretic Questioners and the Paladins of the Serpent Church laughed widely.

“As expected, he deserves it!”

“Cancer! By the way! He’s the kind of person who will come back even if you throw him in hell!”

“I knew from the inside of that monster’s body…”

“To be honest, I never thought he was dead. There’s no way someone like that could die.”

Ashbal narrowed his eyes.

What the hell is Zahard doing?

“No…Well, yes. He might be alive. Getting in there is another matter.”

Ashwal cleared his throat. It drew attention.

“Currently, it is full of immortal monsters. Even if you cut it with a sword, it comes to life, and even if you burn it with fire, it is useless. Even if he was hit with magic, he recovered shortly after. To enter a place full of undying monsters is, frankly, suicidal.”

“…That might be right. Going in like this is, frankly, suicidal.”

Dimona climbed onto her chair.

Ashbal nodded his head.

“So stop fooling around and give up…”

“So how about kidnapping a monster from inside the inner wall?”

“…Um?”

“The whole thing is to be kidnapped and dissected. As long as it’s a creature, if it finds a singularity, it will die. Fortunately, there are Radatoque and Rosemary, who have been rolling over and over on the battlefield, and there is also Estelle, who is second to none in terms of holy power. I am too.”

Dimona broke her clumsy hand.

“If you put her heads together, you can find a solution. Originally, I was going to hit my head on the ground…But now that I know there’s a better way, why don’t we work together temporarily? After all, we all have the same goal, right?”

Estelle nodded slightly.

“Good. Dimona Heretic Inquisitor. The Snake Church will actively cooperate.”

Hector ate his mouth.

“I don’t know how things are going… Anything is fine as long as I can bring out the captain.”

“No sleep…”

Without time to stop, the three immediately came together. It was also quick to go to the castle and kidnap the monster.

A monster torn alive was tied up and transported to the army. Ashwal opened his mouth in a way he hadn’t even thought of because he was scared.

“No… I tried to catch one, but I ran like crazy and failed… How can I do this…”

“Isn’t it easy? It came off better than I thought.”

Dimona lifted her hands, smeared with her rotten blood. It stirred inside the wriggling mass of flesh.

“Hmm…there is nothing called nuclear. It’s just a lump of flesh.”

“The smell from a piece of meat is terrible. There are other causes.”

“I think the driving force that moves this is in the soul, not the body…”

The Paladins put their heads together and whispered.

The conclusion came quickly.

“The soul is the problem.”

“…The soul?”

“It is a twisted soul that moves this rotten mass of flesh. To be precise, it is a piece of the soul. It’s as if the souls have been digested in the stomach and then come back out.”

Estelle lifted a piece of rotten flesh.

“An organism that moves with a soul. There is no such thing as built-in. It moves only with the command entered.”

“Then isn’t it the same as saying that there is no weakness after all?”

“There is a solution.”

Dimona washed her hands with water.

“Apostle Estelle. Lend her hair I’d like to make one. I need to slightly change the purification technique so that it feels like I am directly purifying the dirty soul.”

“Exclusive voice method… It is a possible story.”

“Should we change it to something engraved on the weapon itself?”

“It will take a slightly more complicated spell, but let’s try it.”

The Paladins whispered.

“Is that a possible story?”

“How to change standardized vocalizations on the spot?”

“This is crazy. If you’re like me, you can’t even give it a few decades.”

“It looks easy when you say you’re tearing it apart, it’s just like creating a new surname.”

”And they say they engrave it directly on things?”

“That’s crazy.”

“Is there anyone who can do that?”

Two geniuses put their heads together. Ashwal blinked.

I don’t know what it is, but things are going smoothly.

What the hell are they doing?

. . .

The elves were knocked out by the sword he wielded. Flora took a deep breath.

What kind of monster is this?!

The growth rate is too fast. On the first day, it was boiling when an elf attacked, but now the story is different.

Even if the three of us work together, we cannot win. Rather, the speed of falling out is getting faster and faster.

And then…

“The clothes are getting smaller and smaller.”

Rapid growth.

It was as if the body was growing to match the overflowing power. The body that was clearly a small boy was now changing into a full-fledged young man.

The scene that appeared less than three months after being locked up. The priest who could now be called a ‘man’ stretched.

Black hair.

Enlarged frame.

And then there’s the muscular back.

The way he tapped his sword on his shoulder was no longer cute.

It’s so cool that it takes your breath away!

Flora has been avoiding Zahard’s gaze more and more these days. How can I…

Just looking at those unknown eyes made his hips twitch. He unknowingly fell down.

Ah…

No, I want to get hit.

Being hit by that big palm… Grunting like a sow…

But I can’t speak with my own mouth…I am a blood relative of the proud Fairy Queen…

“What are you doing?”

“Ugh…”

I can’t win in the first place. To get him to spank you, you have to subdue him, but that’s impossible.

Even if Flora summoned spirits and raised familiars, everything collapsed.

“I can’t even compete with you anymore…”

“Not enough yet.”

“Wouldn’t it be possible to defeat the monsters outside now?”

“Who? I? Hitting rocks with eggs. Will all the shells break as they fly away?”

Zahard swung his sword into the air. Flora’s head fluttered in the wind pressure.

“…If you can’t defeat it even at that level…How strong is your opponent?”

“He’s the guy who destroyed a city by himself, isn’t that weird when he’s weak?”

“That, even so…”

Aris.

Flora used to get depressed when she remembered her name. If she had read the diary, she had no choice but to do so.

“I am a pitiful child…”

“Don’t be compassionate. Because you have to kill him.”

“Is there any other way…?”

“There is.”

“Really?!”

“But I will kill you.”

“Why?!”

“It’s filthy complicated. It’s easier to kill. If it’s possible, I’m going to take a shot with the magic siege cannon inside Paramer and then put a knife through the heart.”

The eyes that measure the empty space are sincere. Flora shook his head.

“Sah, if there is a way to save it… shouldn’t it be saved? She is also a victim. She is a child who has been chained to the clock tower all her life…”

“To rummage while clinging to petty sympathy?”

“Ha, but there is a way…”

“Tell me what the complicated method is?”

“What is it?”

Zahard sat down. Their eyes met and Flora hurriedly turned her head away.

“The first is to restrain Aris’s monster. If you go outside, there will probably be huge monsters? We have to tie up all those limbs so they can’t move.”

“…And what?”

“If you pierce a hole near your chest, there is Aris in it. You’re forcing it out.”

“Isn’t it simpler than I thought?”

“After that, we have to fight Aris. The huge monster is half of Aris’ power. Aris still has the other half. It’s going to be a tough fight.”

“Wouldn’t it be nice to win?”

“Isn’t that easier said than done? And that’s not the end. To keep her Aris alive, you have to keep her Aris and her monster completely separate while you subdue her. It can be seen as a secondary separation.”

Zahard dropped his sword to the floor.

“We need outside help to go to the 1st separation. You have to keep it up… And you have to hold Aris for a long time to get to the 2nd separation. In addition, third party help is needed. It’s going to be a power struggle. Do you think it’s easy to break the bonds of the soul? It’s only going to be possible if the apostle comes, but there’s no way a guy like that would come here.”

“…Uh…But…”

“In addition, Aris must have the will to survive. Think about it. If all the monsters were taken away from Aris, uh, would you want to live? It’s as if the only chance for freedom is gone.”

“Uhhhhh…”

“For a number of complex reasons, Aris is sentenced to death. Don’t even dream of saving her. She has to kill him so we can all live. You have a duty to carry Yggdrasil’s tears back to her hometown. Is not it?”

“That’s true…”

Flora held the diary in her arms. She sighed.

“Then…what if. Really, if all those complicated conditions were met… Would you kill Aris then?”

“Is that going to work? It’s a situation where it’s obvious that no reinforcements will come.”

“Still, there is only one thing. What if the benefactor is wrong? What if you’re trying really hard to save your benefactor outside?”

“Don’t talk nonsense.”

“Don’t say that, just assume! That’s right! I’m trading! With me! If all the conditions are met… Why don’t you try to save Aris then?”

Zahard stared blankly at himself. He was silent as if embarrassed, scratching his head.

“No, well… If circumstances overlap… There is no reason to kill her… But if Aris is saved, she can be used as a useful card…”

Thoughtful, Zahard glared at Flora.

“What are you going to give me instead?”

“Ah…Um…”

Flora laughed softly.

“How are you?”

“Go away.”

“Why love love?!”

“What should be the balance of a transaction… Where do you use a mazo elf who likes getting hit on the ass?”

“I don’t like it that much?!”

“Yes. I will not.”

Zahad shrugged his shoulders.

“It’s a story that doesn’t work anyway. It was so impossible that even the Fairy Queen asked for it. It’s not like the army is pouring in from outside… There’s no way it will be.”
