The Paladin Owns the Relic

240 – Hayden and Marker (9)

“Lavender Argus.”

Lavender, the owner of the underground arena, heard a voice. Night city. The seven monarchs who act secretly there.

There is a hierarchy even in the dark. From the time Lavender first came to Night City, he had no doubt that he would be at the top of the night.

She herself was strong. He was able to defeat not only knights, but even A-class mercenaries.

Unofficial S rank mercenary. Maybe something similar to that. Lavender was evaluating herself that way.

If this is enough, it will work in Night City, an unofficial city known as one of the cityways outside the metropolitan area. He was confident that he would destroy anyone who stood in his way.

But…

“……”

The moment Lavenda Apa Gus heard that voice, he realized how arrogant he was.

Zickel, a half-giant who had spent all his possessions, groaned. The leash in his hand was tightened tight.

He is excited. Even though he has simply spoken out, his fighting desire boils over and he is ready to pounce.

“Welcome to Night City.”

Lavenda measured the gap between herself and the beings in front of her eyes.

This is…

Even if I beat the other five people, the person in front of me will not be able to see the angle at all.

An angle to beat.

. . .

“…Uh.”

Lavenda Apagos closed her eyes and then opened them. For some reason, the sight of a man walking reminded her of the first time she took the throne of Night City.

That helplessness. He is a person who thinks he will not be able to win even if he sacrifices his life.

Why? Why does he feel the same pressure with the man in front of him?

It was a feeling of pressure that could only be felt from those who literally exceeded the limit of ‘life’.

No way…

That man reached there?

“… Bullsh*t!”

That can’t be!

There’s no way a person who has reached a level that even the high-ranking knights of the empire can’t reach suddenly pops out!

“Jikeee I mean pay for the food!!!!!”

The half-giant howled. He rose from the rubble of the building.

The torn arm was still there. His blood flowed from the area around his shoulder, which had completely disappeared.

But you can’t stop Jekel with just that. He is an impregnable wall that cannot be broken, and he is literally the heir to the lineage of giants.

What is a giant?

Lavender whipped her whip over her head.

“Do you think it will stop if you just tear off one arm?!!!!”

Ududuk.

Flesh sprouts from the half-giant’s body. Right arm regenerates rapidly.

That’s what a giant’s bloodline is like. An ancient warrior who was exterminated by dragons for being too dangerous.

Having inherited that lineage means being an indomitable warrior who never loses.

The ability to regenerate on a different level from that of humans.

Unbelievably powerful power.

Durability to fight knights in an all-out war despite not knowing how to handle magic.

“Take it away!!!”

Pours mana. The whip in Lavender’s hand instantly gains strength.

Dozens of spines protruding from the smooth surface.

Eternal torture.

A whip flew like lightning from Lavender Apagos’s hand.

“…Redemption magic?”

“It’s accurate!”

Are you a wizard after all?

But even so, the outcome cannot be changed. A whip of thorns leapt violently from the cracking earth.

Lavender apagus. A skill that allowed her to mop up dozens of enemies alive.

Charaaa!!!!

All the ground that passes through is torn. In the clamor of the thorns, Lavender felt the sensation of her fingertips.

The tip of the whip, which occupied a space with splendor, dug into the man’s body. The thorns were deeply embedded in the skin, and more than anything, the tang of the hand flowed down the arm.

But Lavender was not caught off guard any longer. A swing of her wrist tightened the thorny whip embedded in her skin.

It covers the whole body of a man like a prison. It was so tight that I couldn’t even breathe.

Definitely.

Because he poured all his energy into it so that he wouldn’t have a second chance.

ee eeel !!!!

“Gooooo!!!!”

A brainwashed half-giant storms through the ground. It blows itself away in a bursting cloud of dust.

A roaring underground arena. A cloud of dust pierces through, and a huge shadow falls over a man who is chained with a whip of thorns.

Overwhelming weight.

A giant force that is equivalent to standing at the pinnacle of power.

The pods held with both hands destroy everything in its path. It flies in to crush weak humans who are too small compared to itself.

Quad de de de de de de deuk!!!!!

A blow created by a person with the blood of a half-giant throwing his entire body.

The wind pressure removes the mask for an instant. Jekyll’s disfigured face is revealed in the underground arena.

“… Tsk.”

Inside the thorn whip.

In the prison of the whip, which I do not doubt will now break, I heard the sound of clicking my tongue.

“A slave without an ego.”

Black magic power bursting out.

“You watch.”

Two gigantic shaped arms are fully revealed in the mist of black magic.

“…What?”

Quaaa!!!

A light of black magic that bursts out in an instant. Even though the main body didn’t even move, the arm of black magic that appeared like a shadow completely received Jekyll’s fist.

Shivering vibration. The entire building shakes as if an earthquake had occurred. Lavender stumbled and tried to straighten her posture.

Is this enough for the aftermath alone? To the point where you can’t even stand up properly?

I can’t believe it even after seeing it with my own eyes.

What is that…?

What the hell are those two giant black arms?!

“Don’t say anything…”

It’s bizarre.

It seems to move independently of the main body, like an arm with a will. Arms bigger than the body of an adult man.

It’s bigger than Jekyll. If you look at the arms separately, it’s like…

“An arm of a giant…?”

From noble mtl dot com

“Those eyes look like decorations.”

For an instant, my body tilted. Lavender noticed her whip pulling her towards the man holding her.

“Wait a minute?!”

Immediately slam her feet into the ground. She pulls all over her body.

But she doesn’t come. On the contrary, the ground dug deep, and they are forcibly pulled into it.

“Erebos. Its name comes from the imperfect god worshiped by giants. Although I lost to the gods and was sealed away for a while…”

It’s a giant. It’s an incredible force.

“Someone’s essence doesn’t change easily. Yes?”

The restraining magic from the whip is broken, and even the magical power poured in with all one’s strength is shattered.

Overwhelming power difference.

Lavender rolled across the floor. He did not dare to resist even as he was slowly being dragged away, and eventually let go of the whip.

Whilik A whip that gets sucked in. The prison of the thorny whip that surrounds the man’s body begins to break.

The arm sticks out. Magic shatters like glass and scatters in all directions.

It is not a trick. Lavenda fell face down and looked up at him, panting.

Just power.

Everything breaks with simple force. Unbelievable force.

That’s…

“Really…Geeein…?”

It is a power that cannot be obtained unless it is the power of warriors from a forgotten age.

“Yes. He is a giant.”

The two huge arms that were holding Jikel’s arms pulled out both of his hands at the same time. In the bursting blood, Lavender heard a voice.

-You’re running out of power! How thin the veins are! Damn gods! hahahaha! Still, it’s quite cute to use dragons!

It’s a woman’s voice. Just listening to it makes my hamstrings numb and I can’t breathe properly.

The feeling I felt that day.

The true owner of Night City, whom he thought he would never be able to defeat.

More than that…More than that…

No…

In the first place, it shouldn’t be compared…!

“You, are you… Who… Are you…?”

“I should have told you.”

Amidst the half-giant’s painful screams and gushing blood, the man tossed aside the torn thorn whip.

Walking. Lavender backed away following her instincts. She fell several times and later hit her head on the ground.

It crawled like an insect. He’s like those boys he’s been wrecking.

“A paladin.”

Paladin.

Paladin.

No. The paladins I know don’t do this. They are both old-fashioned and not so cruel at the same time.

“…If you are a paladin…”

Something touched my back. Crawling backwards, Lavender looked back at the wall.

There is nowhere else to run.

“Sir, if you’re a paladin… I’ll repent, so ah… now, Zabir…”

“Zabira.”

“Yeah, yeah…Mi, sorry…I was wrong…Ji, really…”

Bangs her head on the ground. I still don’t understand why it happened, but I’m overwhelmed.

”Ha, just once…Never again…Cause I won’t…I’m leaving here…I won’t come back…”

“Really?”

“No, of course…”

“Yes. If you’re a paladin, you should show mercy. We are merciful, and we always give people a second chance.”

Lavenda Apagos desperately suppressed laughter. In order not to notice the corners of her mouth rising, she slammed her head deeper into the ground.

Of course not. Repentance is a start. Could you do something like that

All you have to do is avoid this situation. If only her life is spared, we can plan the following.

So then… Somehow…!

“But it is. Night City is dark at night. Is not it?”

“…Huh?”

“If you show mercy, you will be buried soon. It’s dark and you won’t be able to see it. Wouldn’t it be better to just not give? Your darkness is thicker than the night of Night City.”

“Ha, but that’s not what a paladin…the justice you serve…”

“Justice.”

Something comes up on her head. The distance from the ground that the forehead touches instantly becomes zero.

“If you’re trying to describe me as justice… well… I wonder if the term arbitrary justice would be the best fit.”

Quang!

“Keuuu!!!!”

It breaks. The ground. I try to hold on with my mana, but I can’t stand it.

The power of the foot on the back of the head continues to grow stronger.

Great power.

Literally irresistible force.

The forehead is cracked. Blood slowly spilled and soiled the floor. Lavender struggled with her hand in the hole that was getting deeper and deeper.

The pain rushes in. Eyes are about to pop out I can hear the bones of his head shattering in real time.

“aaa!!!!!”

Your own scream echoes. Lavender cried out desperately.

“Repentance, love, love!!! Because I will repent Zabir!!!! Jebaaal!!!!”

“Repent. Will there be a God who will accept that?”

“Yes!!! Oh oh oh oh oh oh !!!”

“Really?”

Crisp.

“But not me.”

The skull is completely crushed.

. . .

Quaaang!!!

A half-giant who goes on a rampage even with his arms torn off is pinned to a wall. The arms of Erebos, who had been laughing as they grabbed his neck, whispered to me.

-It’s a waste to kill! If you put your mind back, I’d like to teach you myself!

“Did you like it?”

-Of course! The giant’s bloodline is still going on! I want to tear it down properly and make it usable!

What.

It’ll be useful if you make it with a proper servant.

“Just make me faint.”

– Thank you! Paladin!

Crundy!

My neck was broken. The half-giant’s body limp.

“…Isn’t he dead?”

-Giants don’t die like this! Even if his neck is broken, all he does is lose his mind! It slightly controlled the oxygen going up in my head! Giants don’t die until their two hearts are pierced at the same time!

“You are of mixed blood.”

-Mixed races are also giants!

I reaped my strength. The disappearing gauntlets and the arm of Erebos scattered like a shadow.

Lavender apagus. It was pretty strong though. Although now it is just a corpse with his head missing.

“Everyone, what are you…”

The guards in the stands are looking at me. I saw Jade Marker staring blankly at me.

A battlefield where everyone has hardened. I met Isabella’s and her eyes. She also seemed to stiffen at the sight of my strength, and only her mouth was open.

“…Me?”

All done.

I shrugged. I raised my voice to clear things up.

“Who am I… I am the new owner and champion of the underground arena. So when you say something good, jump out right away. Guard kids If you make me say it twice, everything will be lost?”
