The Blind Saint Who Can See - Chapter 86
Only Noblemtl
#86. Regrets that go back (18)
‘…omg!’
I gasped. The moment I saw it, a shock that felt like my mind was being worn down hit my brain.
The reason why the ‘Mental Immunity’ skill was not applied was simple. It simply existed and was not a means to attack anyone.
I grabbed my forehead.
‘But that, what the heck is that?’
It was a circular mass.
Inside the thin, transparent membrane, its interior was a mess, as if the internal organs of the human body had been twisted and shoved in haphazardly.
What was even more terrifying was that even in that state, the bright red heart was still beating, and the blood vessels connected to the heart were constantly spewing out blood.
If you took off a person’s skin, removed their bones, and removed all the unnecessary parts, leaving only the bare minimum of vital organs, would that be what it would look like?
“■■■Ah■Ah■■Ah!”
It howled. It was a young voice, bordering on boyish and manly, screaming in so much pain and agony that it was begging to be saved.
“Yes, my dear Seowon. I can finally save you.”
……no.
You’re wrong.
I’m not asking you to spare my life.
I could hear.
I don’t know why, but I heard it.
“Kill me. I want to die. It hurts so much. It hurts. It hurts. It hurts. It’s miserable. I don’t want to live. Kill me. Please kill me. Please. It hurts. Kill me.”
If you listen closely to the machine-like scream, you will hear the desperate cry of a poor boy asking for an end to his suffering.
“Kill me!”
I looked down at my hands.
The hands that should be trembling are fine thanks to the ‘Maintain Dignity’ skill.
This time, he touches his face.
Even the screams that I want to scream out loud and the faces that should be distorted are all calm.
When I turned my gaze to the ‘viewpoint’, I saw the same noble and immovable saintess as always, with a slightly pitiful expression on her face.
I feel uneasy.
‘Huh?’
Why am I like this?
A part of my chest felt aching, as if someone had forcibly cut it out. For a moment, the dull pain took my breath away.
The ‘Painlessness’ skill doesn’t work.
Why? Why… … .
“Sometimes it’s convenient to be blind. Most people would roll their eyes and faint the moment they see Seowon’s appearance.”
The Emperor’s voice is heard.
“So, can you cure my brother?”
She bent her knees.
The emperor, no.
Do Seong-ji, the older sister of the library, lovingly caressed her younger brother, who was under a hideous curse that was enough to cause him to lose his mind, as if he was still the same as before.
Every time that happened, the library would shout.
“It hurts. Kill me. Kill me.”
“Even though it’s like this, it still talks cutely every time I pet it. I guess it recognizes its older sister.”
“It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!”
“stop.”
I stuttered.
“Stop, stop touching me.”
“hmm?”
“… that child is in pain.”
Do Seong-ji clearly cherishes his younger brother.
The reason it still bothers me is probably because I can’t interpret this voice.
“It hurts. It hurts so much. I want to die.”
I sat down before it.
And he spoke to me kindly.
“Hello, Seowon.”
“Kill me. Kill me. Kill me.”
“Seo-won. … Do you want to live?”
“It hurts. It hurts. It hurts.”
The conversation isn’t working.
I clutched my chest. It was hard to breathe due to the pounding pain in my chest.
why?
This is just… … .
You’re just a piece of meat that isn’t even human and doesn’t even count towards my quest count.
[Complete Healing]
He stretched out his hand and let out a white light. The pure white power gently enveloped the living fleshy ball.
“Ah. Ah. Ah.”
For a moment, the boy’s screams died down. A moment of hope flashed through my eyes.
perhaps.
Even if we can’t cure this cursed meat, can’t we at least alleviate its suffering?
perhaps…….
“It hurts! It hurts! It hurtsaaaah!”
But the hope was truly fleeting.
Just over ten seconds after unleashing his power, Doseo-won felt even more distressed than before.
“Your Majesty the Emperor.”
“What was that light just now? The bleeding that Seowon was shedding has stopped. If you just keep using that light-”
“It was about three hundred years ago that Seo-won became like this?”
‘Justinas’ asked. Then Dosungji nodded urgently.
“right.”
“Then how come you are still alive?”
“That damn curse made my younger siblings immortal. Hye-won and Seo-won, even if more than half of their bodies are cut off, they will definitely come back to life starting from the head.”
“……okay.”
I blankly looked down at the library, and repeatedly saw Do Hye-won looking at me in a half-human, half-animal form.
Two people who became immortal.
One is a lowly beast.
One is this piece of meat.
“… … .”
My emotions have cooled down.
Why would you do something like this?
Was it for a cause?
If so, then it is acceptable.
But the opponent is a demon.
Demons. Subhuman trash.
A burr that I have to eliminate.
“Your Majesty, I have a suggestion to make.”
“What? No, whatever, just hurry up and treat that child. Then I’ll grant you any favor you ask.”
“What if I kill Seo-won?”
“……what?”
“……yes?”
Do Seong-ji and Do Hye-won asked at the same time. They both seemed speechless at the completely unexpected suggestion.
And the next moment.
“Say it again.”
“Cough.”
My balls were caught.
The red eyes filled with murderous intent flashed. Do Seong-ji asked in a harsh tone, as if spitting out each word.
“What should I do with my brother?”
“Kill, gulp! Ugh!”
My breathing is getting tighter. If I push a little harder, my neck might break and I might actually die. That’s okay though.
“I listened to my cat’s words and treated her with kindness, calling her a goddess, but now you are calling yourself dead. How dare you.”
“Cluck, thud, creak.”
“… Tsk.”
Just before I could barely breathe, Do-seong-ji threw me to the floor. When I turned my gaze, a dark bruise was forming on my neck.
A sinister voice descended.
“I knew it from the moment I first encountered your imaginary world. You were absolutely crazy. No, I even questioned whether you were human in the first place.”
My head was buzzing.
I let out all the words that didn’t come in, and stumbled and landed on the ground.
“It makes no sense, lol.”
“What are you trying to say?”
“The life you’re living now, ugh. There’s no meaning to it.”
The whole body of the city burns with anger.
The air around her began to feel electrified. Blue currents enveloped her entire body.
He looks like he’s going to kill me at any moment.
“I’ve decided. I’ll force you to save my brother, and then I’ll kill you in a very painful way. I’ll torture you so much that you’ll beg to be killed.”
But when I listen to her, I can’t help but laugh.
“…Your Majesty, can’t you hear Seo-won’s voice?”
“what.”
“That’s how Seo-won lives.”
I stood up completely.
Then the posture collapses again with the right leg not moving.
So he finally opened his mouth, looking up at her in his disheveled, dusty priestly attire.
“If you were to live like that for three hundred years, with all your pain points functioning, without skin, bones, or muscles… Can you imagine what kind of pain that would be?”
The murderous intent of the city has stopped.
I didn’t stop.
“Seo-won desperately wants to die. If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be better to help him die comfortably?”
“You wish… for death?”
She opened her mouth.
“But isn’t it possible to fix it with your power called Holy Power?”
“It can’t be fixed.”
A cold declaration came out of my mouth.
“The only thing I can cure is physical ailments. Curses this old… … are impossible even with a miracle from God.”
Once again, a dull pain in my chest chokes me. I was sure I had been strangled earlier, but this pain was even more painful.
As I closed my eyes and bit my lips, a thought suddenly occurred to me.
“Your Majesty, may I have your hand for a moment?”
Perhaps because of the great shock, Do Seong-ji did not react. I grabbed her hand, forgetting even the act of groping through the air, and let Do Seong-ji’s words flow out as they were through the ‘message’.
“It hurts. Kill me. It hurts. It hurts. It hurts so much. I want to die. It hurts… … .”
At those heartbreaking cries and shouts, the city of Doseong completely froze, as if someone had been doused with cold water.
