Chapter 103 – #5. Delen and Black and White (6)
Hirak Church. A cult created by those who worship Hairak, the god of justice and discipline. In the fantasy world, various religions developed vigorously, but after a long war with the demon king, only the Church of Hirak remained. The reason was that divine power was the best. Divine power was mana of a unique nature handled by religion, and each religion had slightly different properties of divine power. Several years ago, all religions drew their swords in response to the invasion of the demon army threatening the whole world, and after a terrible war of attrition, which was no different from a disaster, only the Church of Hirak remained intact without losing its power.
Originally, the Church of Hirak belonged to the radical hard line, and was most active in the use of force and the development of paladins. Before the war, it was ruthless inquisition for heresy, and after the war, it wielded its prestige as a powerful holy corps. Ironically, the church grew greatly thanks to the war, and Saint Michael, the heart of the church, was reborn from a city to a nation. By the time Delen was growing up, the Church of Hirak was the only surviving, no, strong religious nation. Its appearance was no different from the emerging powers of the non-religious world, where only military powers survived and absorbed other countries.
Because of that, as a young girl, Delen longed for a paladin of the Order. No matter what the past was like, now it was the force that could best deal with the demon king’s army, and the paladins were the most reliable to Delen. The sparkling pure white armor of the paladin boasted a splendid appearance that young children could not help admiring. The fact that Delen’s father was a devout theologian was one of the powerful reasons for Delen’s involvement in the Order. There were many reasons for wanting to become a paladin, but there was another one that was the strongest.
When she was young, Delenn saw a female paladin on her side of the road. Although she was smaller than the men, the silver armor made for women was more beautiful and enough to blind Delenn. Seeing her colleagues, the male paladins, approaching her without hesitation and being friendly, Delen could not find the boundary between men and women. If Delen of the future had seen it, she would have noticed something in the men who were strangely open to touch, and in the stiff appearance of the female paladin who stood too stiff, but then Delen was an innocent child. She just thought positively that if she had the skills to buy here, she would be recognized equally.
…
…
…
Delenn, who was in her growing season, eventually volunteered to become a paladin of the Order, and in recognition of her qualities as an excellent mana user, she was given the apprentice knight course at once. There were some untalented ones who stayed her apprentices for the rest of their lives, but she trained and trained hard, believing that Delen would never have it for herself.
No one touched Delen right away. Occasionally, there were people who mischievously sexually harassed me, but when I lowered my head to hide my blushing face, I didn’t tease it any more. It was like an uncle teasing her nephew, and though Delenn was embarrassed, she was rather relieved to say that they were just kidding because they were all friendly.
The girl who entered her puberty was reborn as a beauty day by day. She grew taller, and her breasts swelled day by day to the point of trouble. As her silence followed also developed, the graceful curves of a woman were naturally formed, and her girl was happy to see herself changing. A fresh figure that only a girl in her prime can have. She was pure like a girl and bewitching like an adult. Dellen felt that the eyes of men toward her were changing little by little, but she dismissed it as being surprised at her own appearance, which she became more beautiful because she was still innocent.
The path of the beautiful female paladin I longed for. It was after menarche started that the girl’s rosy future was shattered. Coincidentally, the time coincided with the time when her only family, her father, left for Saint Michaela. On the day her father and daughter parted, Delen’s father said a long goodbye to her, saying it might take years. A girl who has become a ‘woman’ without her guardian. Finally, the men took off their gentlemanly masks and were reborn as beasts. The girl who had been congratulated on becoming a woman not too long ago, was severely subjected to her ‘initiation ceremony’ as a woman that day. Even when she made her cry, the adults who laughed at her never looked at the girl crying in shock and horror.
Everything changed overnight. Delenn, who went to the cardinal with enduring pain in his groin that seemed like it would tear from early in the morning, realized that the old man was worse, the root of evil.
A week later. Delenn recognized that no one was on his side.
One month later. Delenn hoped this hell would end soon.
Three months later. Delen’s innocence was gone. He gradually lost his expression.
Half a year later. Delenn no longer considered himself a paladin. She thought of herself as an excrement in a bathroom where even a prostitute would shake her head.
1 year later. Delen realized that not only her branch was rotten, but the entire Order of Hairaq was rotten. This was what she felt as she spread her legs to a high-ranking priest who had descended from the Chengdu as if she were her waitress.
2 years later. Delen felt that, ironically, her own level had risen considerably. Even though she could not die, her qualities as a paladin and her holy power began to shine more and more. If she did not neglect her practice, her achievements always followed.
3 years later. Realizing something in her, Delen squeezed out her spare time to practice, and she reached a higher level. Then, the lower-class guys couldn’t touch themselves anymore. Delen became a training fanatic.
4 years later.
5 years later.
6 years later.
7 years later. She hasn’t changed much. The only thing that increased was her age, skills, and number of sexual experiences. I didn’t get hit by the small pikes anymore, but the high-ranking people coveted it even more. The time of the offense was not significantly different. The difference was having sex with one or two people for hours instead of an exhausting gangbang, but I couldn’t think of it as progress.
8 years later. Still nothing changed. But like a flower in full bloom, her talent developed further. Among the other paladins in the branch, she was no better than Delen.
9 years later. Surprisingly, she has improved her skills even more. There was no one who would dare to challenge her now. However, she was not officially appointed as a paladin. Her apprentice knights can be handled autonomously by the branch, but formal paladins are dispatched here and there according to orders from the superior. In order to monopolize her delen, her cardinal took the lead and devalued her delen’s her skills. All the knights of the branch were accomplices. However, Delenn did not react to the unreasonable measures. It had happened a long time ago that her twinkling brown eyes had died of turbidity. She just had sex and practiced all day.
The year that turns 10.
The incident happened
…
Delenn was definitely a talent who could become a hero. Even though she was tormented by men all day, she spared her spare time to train as a knight, and when she reached her level, she reduced her sleep to study theology. It was the reason that it was difficult to find the meaning of her life through her simple physical training or her knight training. She secretly obtained the writings of her father, a theologian, and studied her theology.
Delenn, who began her studies, had her long-awaited fulfillment. She rationally explored the fundamentals of religion, and she, who had only used her body for this or that, gave Delen an unfamiliar fun. I could understand very well why her father, a theologian, had lived with only one study.
Delenh thoroughly concealed her studies. It is because her principled and fundamental study of her religion naturally leads to her criticism of the corrupt denomination. Delen was not an idiot, and she had no intention of criticizing the Order at any time. She was just preparing for the judgment day that would come one day. She remembered the reality of the denomination she was full of when she was old, studied the right direction that religion should go in, and developed the strength to realize it.
However, the cursed world threw Delen, who was full of pure ideals, into the pit of hell called the present world again, as it had already done once.
Indulgences case.
The Church of Hirak had to endure the terrible war of attrition as the only religious nation. The price is voluntary or compulsory dedication by believers. And it was the status as a great power on the continent and the numerous benefits that followed. The church was making huge profits by consuming people. Nevertheless, perhaps not satisfied with the gains, they crossed the line. The church, which was supposed to wash away human sins, committed atrocities in this world, pardoning sins through the wealth of this world.
It was the subjects of the holy kingdom who died. It was impossible for a person who dared to be a citizen of a religious country not to be pardoned even though he had wealth, that is, not to buy indulgences. Issuing indulgences was practically tantamount to selling them to believers.
Criticism poured in immediately. Non-Hyrakian nations also protested, and internal opposition was not small.
Representing the internal backlash was the theologian Nitram, Delen’s father. He severely criticized indulgences by posting the ‘Fifty-Nine Points Rebuttal Statement’ in Saint Michaela, the heart of the Church of Hirak.
However, the depraved church, which had crossed the line long before the issuance of indulgences, had nothing to shy away from. They immediately retrieved and destroyed all 59 rebuttals, and arrested and imprisoned Nitram for blasphemy. Resentment against him was suppressed with military force because of the wartime situation. It was obvious what Nitram was going through in the Saint’s dungeon, which was completely cut off from the outside world. Fortunately, Nitram’s death was known to the outside world. Internal and external forces resisting indulgences persistently inquired about Nitram’s identity, and the church came up with the poor excuse of illness.
The church suffered a blow to its image, but it remained strong. Indulgences accumulated great wealth in the Order.
These things didn’t matter to Delen anymore. The only family member, the only person he respected passed away in vain. Just for criticizing the church’s faults.
Originally, he would have waited for the right time, but Dellen, who had lost his reason when his family was taken away, eventually exploded what he had stored in his heart. However, Delen’s small rebellion was suppressed on the same day, leaving only small results.
-One apprentice knight killed 15 paladins in a branch.
It was obviously surprising. With that level of skill, there would have been no problem at all in being recognized as a high-ranking knight of the Order. But now she was a murderer, an unbeliever.
No matter how good each individual is, you can’t wage an all-out war with the army. Losing her reason, however, Delen made a mistake, and she was caught alive in a riot net without doing any further damage. It was not a common net used by the riot forces, and Delen was helpless in the strange attack. The skillful conduct of the riot forces seemed to indicate how often this happened.
The reason for capturing a dangerous unbeliever, a murderer, was for display. Most of them are publicly executed in public squares. Whenever that happens, people realize the powerful power of the church through a sense of fear. But no one had ever seen Delenn executed for the felony crime of killing fifteen paladins.
