I Became a Demon Hunter in the Game - Chapter 86
Chapter 86 Dark
Ed was just watching the fight until the Korun pig appeared and spoke. Then Diego pulled his horse aside and whispered.
“Brother, I can feel the demonic power in that pig over there.”
Ed looked at the Korun pig at those words. At that time, the Korun pig swung his sword and shouted, and his eyes were dyed red. The moment Ed saw that, he did not hesitate and fired an arrow. Ed sighed as he watched the Korun pig fall backward.
“Ttt. Why is the piglet with the devil?”
They had no intention of intervening in their love story. Malcolm and Alon looked back at Ed in surprise. No wonder an arrow would flow to the forehead of a nobleman.
He was even more embarrassed because he didn’t know that Ed, who stopped Aron well in the middle, would cause trouble with the nobles.
“Lord Little Lord!”
Bronn jumped off his horse and grabbed Froll, put his hand on his nose, and his impression hardened in an instant. Froll stopped breathing.
Bronn jumped up and drew his weapon. However, he was afraid to draw his sword.
Ed put Aron against his horse and looked at Bronn.
“Your little lord has the power of the devil. He doesn’t seem to be a subordinate, and he’s roughly a follower, but you go back and tell the lord. I’m going to find him soon.”
“You killed the Lord, and what kind of recklessness is that!”
Ed leaned his bow on Aron’s back and looked at Bronn.
“The thing holding the power of the devil can be found right away. If you have that power, you can meet them.”
Bronn looked at the paladines standing behind Ed and bit his teeth.
Had it been a different situation, he would have definitely had something to say. Even if he wanted to tell him not to interfere, but it was about the demons. The Church of Astron would turn on the lights and rush in.
If a heretic inquisitor is dispatched, then no matter how raw and creeping aristocrats are, they can be destroyed in a single day. And seeing him stand out so proudly, he wondered if Froll was really with the power of the devil.
Ed got off his horse and walked calmly. Bronn clenched his fist when he saw him approaching with a bow on his shoulder. But Ed approached him calmly and pulled an arrow from Froll’s forehead and lightly brushed it off.
Bronn shivered as he watched the blood dripping from the arrow on the floor. As a knight, he couldn’t prevent his master’s death even after seeing him die in front of his eyes, so it’s hard to see him in good shape even if he goes back to Korunga.
Ed turned around and said.
“The body of this person will be recovered by the Church.”
If it is a subordinate or a follower of the devil, the Astron Church will investigate it as it is related to the devil. And if it turns out to be true, an extensive investigation into the family will begin.
Melt shouted as the fighting investigators approached and retrieved the body.
“All besiege!”
At the words of Prince Melt, those who followed him besieged Bronn and the light cavalry that followed him. Bronn screamed at the sight.
“What is this?”
“If the Korunga are associated with demons and are subject to that investigation, I cannot send you back for fear of destroying the evidence. If the Korunga have no affiliation with the demons, I will reward you. Please wait.”
At Prince Melt’s words, Bronn clenched his teeth, but there were far more people besieging them. The number of people who came to this place with Froll was not small, but they did not come to fight for the territory, but to pursue a cause, so there could not be many.
“The Prince Melt!” shouted the Melt group, lightly ignoring Bronn’s cry.
“Even if Korunga has no ties with the devil, the man who dared to sell his soul to the devil coveted my daughter, so the crime will be held by Korunga!”
Ed stared at the Prince Melt like that. . In fact, even considering their face, they would rather make this event bigger, and if the Korun family were associated with the devil, in the future they could use this as an excuse to rip it apart.
Maybe they will grab hold of the manor. If Sarah is married and all the people in her family die, she can inherit the land. So now, it would be them to take the side of the Astron Church.
Malcolm and Alon also guessed what Ed had guessed, but the devil-related thing is a situation they should report to the main office too.
They really knew what Prince Melt was trying to do, but they didn’t blame him.
“It’s the right decision. If you report to the main body, a heretical interrogator will be dispatched, so it’s a wise idea not to destroy the evidence in the meantime. I’ll report for the church’s help as well.”
When a smile was drawn on Prince Melt’s lips, Sarah carefully opened her mouth.
“Father.”
Prince Melt looked back at Sarah.
He only blamed her, but it was his own fault that he had sent her to the one who sold his soul to the devil.
Korun is a wealthy place compared to Melt, so he thought it was a good thing to have in-laws with them.
If it was revealed later, perhaps even Sarah would have been subjected to the interrogation. Knowing how cruel the heretical interrogation was, he thought this was a good thing.
“Yeah. This father did something wrong and almost did something big.”
“Forgive Pan,” said Prince Melt, wriggling an eyebrow at the words, but not in a fiery rage at this place now. Prince Melt ordered his men.
“Pan, stay safe at the mansion. Be grateful and be sober because you are not imprisoned in a thunderbolt in recognition of your work in saving Sarah from the demon-possessed Korunga.”
Sarah’s face brightened at those words. It was fortunate that she was not immediately beheaded by her father’s sword-like personality.
Aron woke up from the sleep, grabbed the back of his neck, and shook it left and right, wondering.
“Ed. My back hurts strangely.”
“Can’t it be healed by holy spells?”
“I’m sure I’ll get better soon, but strangely, the pain continues.”
Ed stared at him and opened his mouth.
“But what did you mean by that?”
“Okay?
“Didn’t that prevent Prince Melt from punishing Miss Sarah and the knight?”
“Ah! I thought there was a solution to that, so I tried to stop it.”
“A solution?”
“I thought that if Sarah becomes a nun, I would be able to protect her as she becomes a member of the Astron Church. So I was thinking of asking her if she would like to do so.”
Ed put his hand on Aron’s shoulder and let out a long sigh.
“Aron, saying that in that situation makes the Astron Church seem like it is deeply involved in the work of the nobles. So saying that itself will deepen the rift between the Church and the nobles.”
“Ah! Is that so?”
“Even if you have been living in the Astron Church, the person who served as the chief priest should not do this.”
Aron’s expression hardened at those words.
Ed looked at Aron quietly. Arin was also a paladine who didn’t know anything at first, so he taught her in full swing, but her brother was no different from a human being.
He acknowledges his desire to save people, but he has to choose a time and place. Still, if he’s going to save people, there shouldn’t be any problem related to that.
That way, the Astron Church will also use Aron heavily. But he also found this new side to be cute. It is good that this story goes well with the archbishop of the presbytery like Benedict, but there is no such innocence. It’s the same with him.
“So what happened?”
“The little lord of the Korun family came to retrieve Miss Sarah, and he turned out to be a follower of the devil. So it seemed that this marriage would never have happened in the first place.”
“You mean there were demon followers in Korunga?”
“Maybe. So, I thought I’d go see Aron when he wakes up.”
“Where?”
“I hate Korun.”
“What are you going to do?”
Ed didn’t bother answering. Aron looked into those eyes and seemed to understand roughly.
“Why don’t you leave it to the Heretic Inquisitor?”
It’s not a bad choice to leave it to the Heretic Inquisitor. However, if they move, not only those who have obtained demonic power from Korunga, but also their cousins’ cousins will be captured and tortured, and more blood will flow if they do so.
And above all else, you don’t know how much experience there will be. Froll gave him little experience.
“More than that, Aron. This is a temple, and Meltsi is also large, so Crossel will not be able to target it like before.”
“Perhaps it is.”
The temple itself has excellent security, and a city with a temple also has a different security.
In particular, Crossel lost five fingers and one of the apostles died. Speaking of six apostles and ten fingers, they almost lost the power of thirty percent. So it won’t be easy to target.
“I just heard the news from Arin and delivering it.”
“Did Arin deliver any news?”
“Yes. I think we’ll see her at our next destination.”
“When is Ed going to leave?”
Ed said looking out the window.
“I’m leaving tomorrow morning.”
Aron was about to say something at those words, but he soon smiled and swallowed.
“It’s a pity that we are saying goodbye like this.”
“There’s nothing to regret. We’ll probably see each other again.”
“Yes?”
You can’t give up a priest with those precious ‘eyes’. However, when he goes back to the main school, wouldn’t it be a little more useful if he met the archbishops and received realistic teachings?
When that time comes, he’s thinking of accepting him as a group.
Ed, who spent the night at the temple, got a horse from the temple, rode it, and set off early in the morning with Diego.
They must leave when the sun has not yet risen so that they can reach the city of Korun before dark.
When Ed and Diego hurried to the gates, a horse stood in front of the gates, and Sarah stood next to them.
Still have something to say?
As Ed approached her puzzled, she took off her hat and bowed her head politely.
“What’s going on?”
Sarah raised her head and looked at Ed.
“I was going to thank you for your help yesterday, but I was told that you were leaving early today, so I waited like this.”
Ed responded calmly to those words.
“I wasn’t specifically trying to help.”
In fact, if it weren’t for Aron, they weren’t interested enough to send them back.
“I thought you would say that. But I got help, and I was told that if I get help, I have to repay it.”
“The most useful thing I have right now is the horse Boma. It is a horse from the Kingdom of Magelta, known for its excellent pedigree and capable of running for three days and three nights without a break.”
Ed, keenly aware of the importance of mobility this time, saw the horse she was pointing to. It didn’t seem like a normal horse to have black hair that was shiny.
“Please take this boy horse.”
Ed got off his horse from the temple and walked over to the black horse standing next to her.
A large size and strong muscles suitable for a warhorse. Besides, he met her big eyes and fell in love with her.
He said that until now he had only used his many horses as a means of transportation, but this horse was something different.
Ed asked, stroking the horse’s neck.
“What is its name?”
“It has to be given by the new owner.”
Ed said, stroking the back of the horse’s nose.
“Your name is ‘Dark’ now.”
