The Paladin Owns the Relic

88 – Paramer Subjugation (13)

“Ah… Ah…”

Aris trembled. It was mixed with Pierre’s moans.

“I can’t even talk…”

”The command…The command must be carried out…”

“Here…here…I’m here…”

”Aris…Aris…A new command…”

“Aris…Aris…Still…Falls down…”

The lord of the rot fell to his knees. The state of Groggy who was hit by an unexpected blow.

However, even in this state, the outer shell is hard. Even though he got hit, he still couldn’t win head-on.

From noble mtl dot com.

It’s not me…It’s different if it’s Estelle!

“Get out of the way. Church of Ra.”

I immediately grabbed Irene and threw her behind her.

Quad deed Deuk!!!

Estelle’s plain-clothes sword tore through the ground. As if conducting a precise anatomy experiment, the skins of the flesh that could not resist were ripped off one by one.

A shell that peels off slowly. A loophole that could not be targeted if the main body was strong in the first place.

Aris, trembling amidst the rushing swordsman, bounced outside.

“Ah… Ah…”

The wound that had been pierced through the abdomen had already healed. But she was frightened and Aris crawled behind her.

“Ah, Aris… Here… She shouldn’t die here…”

”Aris…Aris!”

Pierre, who had come to his senses, stood up. However, the lord of the rotten ones who lost their master was very weak.

Estelle subdued the remaining flesh. Trampled on her, crushed, and placed under her own feet.

“No. Until there.”

The words he spat out were firm.

“It’s over. The mastermind behind Paramer.”

…Yes.

This is the real end.

My hands were shaking. Wow. How many times have you almost drowned?

Especially the last one… Even though I avoided it, my right arm was blown off.

【Zahard… Zahard…】

Beatrice’s spiritual body rubbed her face. It’s tough. Don’t get angry because it’s hard to die

【I knew Zahard could do it! Because I knew it would be like this!]

Ah. Yes.

-You really…

Ra whispered.

– Cute and pretty, my own Thunder Naked!

Curse if you’re going to curse, and just praise if you’re going to praise.

I laughed. What though…

It’s over.

The real end.

“Aris.”

“Hey hey hey!!”

Aris’ body, which fell from Pierre, was disintegrating from the tip. Aris raised her hand. The shrieking scream was struggling, saying that he didn’t want to die.

“Pierre!!! Pierreuuu!!!!”

The whipped hand scratched the giant’s back.

“Freedom… I said it would bring back freedom! Pierre! Why…Why…Why did this happen!!! Why aaah!!!!”

“Calm down. Because I have no intention of killing you.”

“All adults are liars! I don’t believe it! Aris doesn’t trust anyone!!!”

The collapsing Aris thrust her hand into her giant’s back.

…Huh?

Wait.

No way?!

“Aris…”

Amid miserable screams, the giant’s body pulled Aris.

“Aris will be free!!!!!”

The giant’s body wriggled. I jumped out immediately, but missed Aris by a single edge.

Aris’ voice rang loudly as she entered the Palace of the Rotten.

【Everything is dying!!!!!!】

Move.

That huge body again!

“Why?! Her chains must be…!”

I looked around and found Mistiltein. Oh f*ck!

Come to think of it, I picked it earlier! In addition to collecting all the holy power, her chain also disappeared!

“How crazy!”

The huge giant stood up. What used to be the floor became a wall, and I just slipped and fell.

“It’s all over, why are you struggling!”

“Zahard!”

The white armor kicked the wall. Hugged me In the sudden embrace of the princess, I averted my gaze.

“Uh…thank you?”

“It’s okay.”

Irene looked at me in an unsuitable way.

“If it’s Zahard, I’ll hug you as many times as you like.”

This is not the time to say something comfortable!”

Estelle took it for granted that she slammed her foot into the back of a rotten giant and chased us as we fell.

“Is this also a plan?”

“Does it make sense?!”

Mistress!

Actually, I’ve been here a few times before! When I was saved by breaking an achievement in the game, Aris was holding on to me!!

“Estel! Just ask for it! If you combine with that girl again, you will be ruined!”

“Yes.”

Estel held the lord of the rot’s shell with one hand. She kicked off the wall and threw herself into the air.

Under the slanted back, you could see the bottom still fighting. After taking the Mistiltein, I whispered to Irene.

“Sir! Is it possible to fall to the center over there?!”

“It’s possible.”

The white armor landed on the ground with a thud. Startled, people stared at us.

“Hold the princess…?”

“Who are those two people in the first place…”

“Huh?”

“Isn’t that… your brother?!”

“No way?! No way?!”

“How did that little kid grow up like this?!”

Yes. It grew.

I got out of Irene’s arms. Pushed the clinging people away.

“Get out of the way.”

The old man I hadn’t seen before glanced at me.

“You are that Zahard Inquisitor…”

“Vikira?!”

“You have a fierce temper. Why are you looking for this guy…”

“I don’t have time to respect the elderly, so get out of the way! Everyone back!”

The rotten giant raised his feet. Estelle, who had fallen next to me in a gesture of trying to crush me, raised her plaintive sword.

“I…”

“No need!”

Flora’s voice echoed in the distance.

“Ahhhhh!!!! Benefactor!!!! There are no more bullets!!!!”

“Because it’s okay!”

Yes.

I did feel that the ending was empty. I can’t help it.

Since it is the last of the last, let’s spend it hot!

I want to show everyone here what kind of person I am!

I’m tired of being strong! I’ve grown this much, but what am I hiding my strength!!!!

[Surt comes from the south]

[Along with damaging tree branches]

[The sun of the dying gods]

[Flashes from her sword.]

An ominous black flame erupted from within the pocket. Estelle was startled.

“Is that…?”

【aaa!!! My holy power has gotten worse!!!!!]

It’s been a long time since I’ve screamed. Ah. I missed you. Surt.

The divine power of destruction rushed into the hand that was clenched.

“Let’s go! My partner!”

【It’s not a partner oh oh oh oh oh !!!!]

[I activate ‘Levatein (EX)’.]

A huge fiery greatsword. An EX-class skill whose size was much larger than before descended to the ground.

Lean back. Feeling the burning skin on his right arm, he stretched out as hard as he could.

“Tear it apart!!!!!”

A dooming judgment stretched along my right arm and pierced the foot of the falling giant.

Explosive noise. The screams of swept humans. Even Estelle, who hastily sets a barrier.

The power of an EX-class skill that makes everyone fly away pierced the giant’s feet.

It exploded.

The whole world.

Quaaa!!!!

. . .

Aris opened her eyes.

Something happened. Hell’s flames. Something more terrifying than normal flames engulfed the giant.

And…And…

In an instant, everything I had was gone.

Aris stood up. Lying on the roof of a building.

She could feel her flesh crumbling from her fingertips.

I am dying.

Pierre also…Lost all his powers.

From noble mtl dot com.

It’s like a fleeting dream.

“Ugh… Uh…”

I want to live.

But even if you live without power, how will it be different from living in the clock tower?

You will be swept away by others. Back to the old coward. I’m scared, so I can’t even dream of rebelling, and I’m going to have a daily life that I rely on others again.

The life of a slave.

I don’t like it. No. I’d rather…

It’s better to die…

The floor was wet from the leaked tears. Aris wanted to ask.

In a life like this. Pain in the past.

What did it mean?

“Hey.”

“How?”

Something came into my mouth.

“Eat.”

Someone sat next to me. Aris turned her head.

She is the Apostle of Ra whom she tried to kill. Aris moved her mouth involuntarily at her familiar face.

It’s sweet.

It tastes so sweet that it makes your head go crazy.

“Eup…Up…”

“Is it delicious? It’s an item that was airlifted directly from Ain Card. That’s very expensive Of course, it tastes a bit weird because it’s been a while… But I set the temperature inside the pocket below freezing, so I can eat it roughly. If you freeze anything, you can eat it slowly.”

“Eup… Ugh…”

The surface was hard, so Aris moved her tongue. She looked up at him as she slowly melted and ate.

A burning giant crouched behind him. What had once been his palace was in complete ruin.

Why?

That was the first question that came to mind.

“Why…Aris…”

“What is Aris? Aris died over there.”

Something comes up on top of his head with his chin down.

“Don’t use that because it’s a bad name. It’s the name of an incomparable villain. It’s the name of a dog-like b*tch who froze over and over and finally exploded.”

“Ha, but Aris is Aris…”

“I will give you a name.”

Aris blinked her eyes.

Name…

Are you going to give me a name?

“To Aris… Your name…?”

“Yes. Name. Not that name, my real name.”

Zahard just touched his forehead.

“Do you want to live?”

“Ah… Uh…”

I want to live.

But I don’t want to live as a slave.

“He said he wanted to be free.”

“…….”

“I will hold you. If there is anything you want to do, do it.”

“I hate slaves…”

“I am not a slave. Trading on an equal footing. How is it?”

…Deal?

Aris blinked her eyes. Tilted her head.

“Deal…Deal…?”

“Yes. Instead of setting you free, come with me.”

The man in front of me suddenly pointed something at me.

“I will officially hire you!”

“……?”

What is that all of a sudden…?

“I will give you five million talents for the moon. Incentives, of course! Keep in mind that depending on the work you do, you can earn more than your monthly salary. Not only do we provide lodging, but we also take care of your travel expenses. You will be my escort!”

“To…?”

“I will raise my salary again when the annual leave accumulates. Of course, isn’t that the only perk? Depending on the occasion, not only vacation, but also annual leave…”

What is this man talking about?

“Do you hire Aris?”

“Yes.”

“Doesn’t hurt Aris?”

“What are you doing?”

“I was going to kill you…”

“That’s the story of ‘Aris’.”

A finger tapped his forehead briefly.

“You are ‘Maya’ from now on. Take Aris and throw it away. She said that because she died together in Para Mer.”

“…Maya?”

“Yes. Maya. Your name. I’ve been thinking about it… But that name is the best. A name that brings gold. Doesn’t it suit you who will become a fortune-teller? It’s a name I gave for you, not for anyone else, so take it sweetly.”

“Fortune… Lump… Maya…”

Aris muttered her name a few times. Then she slowly licked the cookie in her hand.

Maya.

Your name you received from someone for the first time. Not someone else’s name, but a name that was combed only for oneself.

“…Employed…”

A strange man. What kind of adult in the world would hire someone to kill him?

But the fact that he wasn’t a slave pulled Aris’ heart. He ignited a desire to live a little longer.

Formal trading, not slavery.

A real job that doesn’t fit every time you make a mistake. The life of a non-slave.

“…Maya…”

At the muttered name, instead of Aris, Maya raised her head.

“But Maya…If you don’t keep your promise, you will die…I can’t stay by Zahard’s side…”

“That was unexpected again. Dying regardless of the will to survive? What if you don’t kill me?”

“…That’s the promise that man and Maya made…”

“Really? But he said, “What if it goes out?”

Zahad raised his hand.

“One of Ra’s holy relics stolen from the treasure house! It’s called the ‘ring of fate’!”

“…….?”

A pair of rings. One is held by Zahard, and the other is tucked in his hand.

He grinned.

“I will give you a second life. Maya. Follow me. Use all your overflowing power for me. And I’ll give you freedom in return. How is it?”

“……”

A grown-up’s words. I know you can’t believe it But even so, Maya received the ring.

I absentmindedly rolled the ring from his hand. The words came out

“Maya… Can’t I… Be a slave?”

“You don’t have to.”

“…Why?”

“Isn’t it more reliable to be treated properly than to be treated like a slave? Money never betrays people.”

Zahard grinned.

“If it is ambiguous, make a decision after watching from the side. If you don’t want to do it, you can jump out. How is it?”

“……”

The words are light. It’s so light that I’m confused whether it’s a lie or not.

But this is the first time I’ve been given a name directly by someone. A name made only for oneself, not for others.

“…Don’t… Hey…”

In that case…It’s really one of a kind…

If this is your last chance…

If I could seize a new life, not a slave…

“Maya…Goes…”

The shape of a collapsing giant covered the city of Paramer. A gust of wind blew Maya’s hair lightly.

In the dust of Para Mer, Maya raised his head. Tears fell from her eyes in the dim sunlight.

Maya knew. That hundreds of thousands of lives had died for her own freedom.

She herself is a monster.

Even if I receive a new life, that doesn’t change.

She asked. The child reached out to her adult to lean on.

“Can I live…?”

It was a complicated question. Many things were mixed together, and the meaning contained was too heavy a question.

But Zahard laughed. As if nothing had happened, he grabbed his outstretched hand.

“What if you had to answer…”

I pulled it as it was. She held Maya in her arms in the slowly sinking sunset.

“Live for me. Maya.”

Maya closed her eyes. Wiggling her hand, she put the ring she had received on her hand.

…Warmth.

The long-awaited warmth was in my hands that I never wanted to let go of again.
