The Blind Saint Who Can See - Chapter 101
Only Noblemtl
#101. Raw
‘Demon…!’
The warrior Izumi instinctively felt threatened. Unable to point his sword at his close friend, he reached out his hand.
“Cedric!”
The world is falling apart.
As Ho-Cheon died, the crack he had formed collapsed belatedly. Cedric curled up his wings and protected Justinas from the fragmenting sky.
And then, the moment when the black world completely disperses and the blue sky is revealed.
Cedric flew up.
“-Oh, oh, oh!”
And the same sky.
A man standing on empty space burst into laughter as he looked at Cedric.
“So you are the one His Majesty spoke of! Hmm! Then, as a comrade, it would be right for me to come out to greet you!”
“… … What are you?”
“Me?”
chuck!
The muscular man, whose cute face did not match his body, shouted loudly, sticking out his naked chest.
“This body is the Demon of Fire! My name is Mincheon (旻天) Lev! I am the man who will be your comrade from now on!”
“… … .”
Cedric flew past him with an emotionless expression. Lev, who was blatantly ignored, jumped in surprise and chased after him, stomping on the air.
“Wait a minute! Let’s go together! Comrade!”
“… … .”
And Izumi.
“What is this… … .”
I took in all the sights in a daze.
At first, his dazed green eyes gradually became distorted with despair. He came to his senses and ran.
However, human legs cannot keep up with the wings of the demon tribe, especially with a body that is exhausted from just finishing a battle.
Eventually, Izumi rolled on the floor before she could go very far. The wounds that no one could heal were painful.
“Ugh, gasp.”
He sat down on the floor, panting as he looked up at the sky. Cedric and Justinas had disappeared into the distance, appearing as mere dots.
A sticky feeling took hold of him.
“Fuck!”
bang!
Izumi struck the ground with a fierce tone. Over and over again.
Until blood flows from the striking fists and flesh is torn apart.
“Fuck! Fuck!”
Keep going. Keep going.

“Hey! Are you not going to say anything? Where are you going?”
“… … .”
“What are you holding?”
Cedric ignored the man chattering beside him.
He is one of the Four Heavenly Kings that Justinas hated so much. Normally, he would have drawn his sword at any moment.
…Yeah. Normally.
If Justinas… were alive.
When I acknowledged that fact, my heart felt empty as if a hole had been punched in it. Tears mixed with blood flowed out of bitter sadness.
“… … Cedric. Do you hate me?”
“Because I’ve been using your mind all along… … .”
“Yeah. Sorry. I knew.”
Her last words pierce my heart.
Do you hate me?
He knew that she was using him and that she didn’t completely trust him.
I thought it was annoying.
I was jealous again.
She doesn’t trust herself, even though she grew up with him, but she puts her firm trust in the warrior she’s only known for three months.
But I never hated it.
It had to be that way.
Justinas.
Youth.
“Do you remember what I said before?”
“……what?”
“I want to save the world.”
Because he was a foolishly sincere, upright, and kind person.
“So, Cedric, you have to support me.”
“Yes. No matter what situation I’m in, please… … complete my mission… instead… … . Can I ask you to do so?”
Even in the face of death, his nature did not change. Even the cruel request he made to him was so affectionate that it brought tears to my eyes.
The only tragedy is that her affection is only for humans.
“Why do you do that?”
“That’s… … the right thing to do, isn’t it?”
“…under.”
Cedric burst out laughing.
As it turned out, her worries were not in vain.
Because he wasn’t human.
As he spread his two wings, memories came to him naturally. He had never been human in the first place.
The deep-rooted malice and frustration that had been buried in the garbage dump of Kieto. The source of his deep-rooted darkness was his. It was natural that he had no memories of his childhood.
His essence is that of a demon.
Was it because he knew this that Justinas did not trust him?
……no.
Anything was fine.
Justinas lost his parents at a young age and wandered the slums. Then he lost his eyesight in a fire, so what kind of hardships did he endure on the Eastern Continent?
Although she was canonized as a saint, her miracles came at a price. She lived faithfully for over a decade, healing countless people.
In a way that brings pain instead.
What happened after that?
Even after meeting Cedric himself, Justinas has always lived with injuries.
Always. Always… … .
She risked her life to protect people and the world and died.
Not just that.
Hurt. Suffered. Tormented.
It was a death so insignificant and shabby compared to the good deeds.
But the author called God.
He used to say that he favored Justinas by giving her a half-miracle made from his own flesh, but what was he doing when she died?
What world was she trying to protect?
Who were the people she saved?
Something is wrong.
I simply could not tolerate that Justinas’ ending was like this.
He was a very good kid.
Yes, she was too noble to sacrifice herself for this fucking world.
Justinas. That kid.
“… A world without that kid.”
The world that killed that kid.
“I’ll get rid of them all.”
The gods who burdened her with heavy tasks and turned a blind eye to them, the world and people who unilaterally pushed the sacrifices on her. Even the demons like her.
Tear them all to pieces and slaughter them all.
As Cedric made that pledge, a conversation from the past suddenly came to mind.
“Still, I hope you understand, Cedric.”
Justinas patted his shoulder and smiled bitterly.
“Yeah! If I were you, I would cheer you on!”
“If it’s someone you truly care about, wouldn’t it be right to respect their wishes? Like you said earlier.”
Izumi Polly, who was shouting cheerfully again.
“If that person wanted you to understand, Cedric, it’s probably because he cares about you.”
Cedric washed his face dry.
“… is wrong.”
Izumi Polly was wrong.
Justinas does not cherish him. Rather, the person she cherishes is… … .
“Iz-”
The green-eyed warrior I was watching at the last moment when I was truly breathless.
A sweet man who resembles her.
Cedric looked down at Justinas’s body with emptiness and affection.
“…I’m sorry, Yus.”
You won’t be able to rest in peace even after you die.
You’ve been separated from the guy you like for a long time.
And the mission you were trying to protect will all be destroyed by the childhood friend you were so wary of.
“… Hmm.”
Lev, who was watching Cedric’s changes from the side, narrowed his eyes and continued to walk in vain.
“I see! The person you are holding is someone who was precious to you.”
“… … .”
“I heard that Your Majesty also had one! Someone precious to him died! So he brought it back!”
This time, Cedric’s head turned, carefully cradling the cold corpse.
“His Majesty said to come and find out if you are curious!”
“Where is he?”
“It’s the Western Continent!”
Lev shouted heartily.
“If you go to the Western Continent and join him, your wish will come true!”
After Justinas’ death, Cedric’s eyes became unsettled for the first time.
Lev noticed that.
A smile appeared on his face. His crimson curly hair blew in the wind.
“How about it? Will you follow me?”
Cedric hesitated.
The demons were no exception to the targets he wanted to destroy. Rather, it would be fair to say that they were the first priority.
however…….
chuck.
Lev held out his hand as if urging her.
The hesitation didn’t last long.
Cedric held Yus tightly and extended one hand.
widely!
The moment when two people held hands.
“…!”
Justinas, held in his arms, turned into nothingness. Just as a demon dies, his human form turns into pure white energy and falls apart.
Cedric spread his wings and chased after the remains of Justinas.
However, he was already a demon. The conflicting powers only caused him to run away, inflicting painful blows on him.
“Youth, ah, please…!”
The second loss was as painful as the first. Cedric called out to her desperately, his throat tightening.
The power of the Holy Spirit ignores his pleas and continues to rise, towards the sky, towards the shining sun in the distance.
The sight was like a child returning to his parents’ arms.
Spreading his black wings against God, the fallen demon longed for the daughter of God for a long time before falling down.
A terrible despair consumed him.
***
Three days after that.
In a forest on the Eastern Continent, a girl loved by a god opened her eyes.
“-uh?”
Without being able to see ahead.
