The Blind Saint Who Can See - Chapter 94
Only Noblemtl
#94. Crack (4)
It was a bizarre image.
The inside was completely devastated, but it seemed like they were worshipping something unknown as a god. Do-seong-ji instinctively turned away from the fanaticism that was so tiresome.
The reason was simple.
Because of the sense of homogeneity.
Do-seong-ji himself is also obsessed with his ‘family’ to a point of disgust.
“… As I said before, there isn’t any.”
So she only expressed her displeasure and did not lose her temper and try to kill the man.
Meanwhile, Izumi, who had been lost in thought, raised her head.
“There is something that catches my attention.”
“Really?”
“Yes. Well, I just heard it.”
As this was an unprecedented incident, even if it was just information I had gathered, it was extremely valuable. Cedric stared at Izumi with eyes that looked like he was going to devour her.
“First, let’s go to the place where the three people disappeared.”

“There are candles, but no matches.
There are numbers, but no letters.
There is a needle, but no thread.
There is poetry, but no novels.
… … is written.”
Liliana read the sentence out loud, perhaps out of consideration for me. Of course, I had been reading the problem quickly and pondering it since the moment Dohyewon stirred up the dust.
S University, double major in physics and chemistry,
Expected to graduate from the integrated master’s and doctoral program (important)
If you look at this problem with pride as a Chuck Chuck Scholar (X-leg), the answer is!
‘I don’t know.’
I must confess that I was weak in this kind of literature and problem. I would rather be happy to do an assignment like observing the magnetic field around an atomic nucleus with an NMR spectrometer.
Naturally, my head turns towards Liliana. There is also a twinkling sense of anticipation.
“This is a watch.”
Oh, I see! It’s a watch!
I believed you, Liliana!
The iron door opened with a jerk in response to Liliana’s words. As expected, it was the best intellectual performance of the original warrior party.
“At first glance, it seems like a simple question, but it’s actually a simple problem. Can’t we just exclude the ‘nonexistent’ sentence and look at the ‘existing’ condition?”
oh.
“A second, a number, a hand, and an hour. If there’s one thing that has these four elements, it’s a watch.”
“Liliana is really smart.”
I praised Liliana wholeheartedly, and her blond hair stood out like dandelion seeds.
“Are you kidding me?”
“yes?”
“It was such an easy problem, you would have figured it out as soon as you heard it.”
This is a ridiculous misunderstanding.
The only creative quizzes (liberal arts) that I can answer are something like “What happens if an owl falls into water? Add, add, add” or “What weapon does God give you? A bow (May God give you a bow…)”.
But there was no need to correct it, he just gave an ambiguous smile.
“Ahaha… … .”
“also.”
Then Liliana misunderstood on her own.
After that, the labyrinthine drainage system continued with a series of questions like the Zen method. This means that Liliana carried it perfectly.
Why is there a quiz in the drain?
As I explained earlier, this is a space of Hocheon. Since his ‘taste’ is this kind of quiz maze, similar situations occur wherever he goes.
… … As I thought about it that far, a question suddenly crossed my mind.
‘It’s similar in structure to the labyrinth in the Kharif Mountains?’
Why?
In the original work, there was no mention of a relationship between Hocheon and the Caliph Labyrinth.
Somehow I felt a little uneasy.

“Here it is.”
Izumi, who was guided by the city’s capital, looked around.
The area was extremely quiet, as the Emperor had issued a ban on access to the area. The only sounds that could be heard were the occasional fluttering of birds free from the ban.
“hmm…….”
He tilted his head, his brows furrowed.
“Izumi, the Four Heavenly Kings sometimes use unusual moves. The weakest, the Four Heavenly Kings, didn’t have much trouble, but the Four Heavenly Kings will definitely use cracks.”
“Crack? What is that?”
“It’s a gap in the dimension. It’s a kind of otherworld where the space in reality is distorted and organized as one pleases.”
“It’s like a dungeon!”
“Is it a dungeon?”
“Oh, hehe. I’m just talking to myself.”
Justinus had hinted at this situation to him before.
At the time, I just thought it was nothing special and let it go. I remembered it well because it was Justinas’s words, but it didn’t really hit home for me.
‘If it’s a classic RPG warrior game, dungeons are a must!’
– This complacent sentiment also played a part.
But regret is always too late. Instead of regretting, Izumi thought back to her conversation with Justinas.
“How do you get out of a crack?”
“You can either destroy the core of the crack, or kill the demon inside the crack.”
“You can’t come in from outside, right?”
“As far as I know, that is… … .”
At his continued questioning, Justinas smiled at him.
“If it’s Izumi, it might be possible.”
It was a tone filled with strong trust.
Izumi couldn’t understand why such a great person as Justinas had so much faith in her.
Is it because he is a warrior?
Chosen by God like her?
The above hypothesis had some credibility, as she was a saint who even the Pope was amazed at for her faithfulness. However, Izumi felt that the trust she showed was not simply because she was a hero.
she is…….
“Izumi, I trust you.”
“Izumi can do anything.”
“Because you are a great person.”
It doesn’t matter what it is.
“… … I will try, Your Majesty.”
Izumi wanted to repay her strangely unwavering trust.
I took out the meteor and set it up straight.
Close your eyes and concentrate.
‘I don’t have eyes to see magic like Liliana.’
His vision is nothing special.
But there was something else special about him.
Holy Comet
Woohoo!
As time passed, the words engraved on the holy sword began to glow faintly. He ignored the sweat flowing down his body and sharpened his senses to the air around him.
“Izumi, do you know?”
“The Lord is willing to perform miracles for those He chooses.”
“If we can release all the miracles that Seongyuuseong holds, it will definitely be possible to defeat the Demon King.”
Holy Comet.
Holy meteor.
The holy star in the sky miraculously changes and flows, and it is the holy sword.
Izumi struggled to accept the words engraved on the sword.
It goes beyond simple understanding to literally ‘accepting’ it.
Then it was ‘seen’ to him too.
“…!”
Even with my eyes closed, I can see a very thin white line in my field of vision that should be pitch black.
The line soon stretched out and formed a world. Izumi took a deep breath at the brilliant sight that suddenly appeared.
If you can do it now, you can do it.
He took up the sword.
And, Benda.
-Crunch!
A brisk noise, like the sound of cutting A4 paper with a cutter knife, rang in her ears. Izumi unconsciously jumped in and opened her eyes.
He was standing in a completely different place. The only thing that was the same was the two people who had been watching him since a while ago.
‘It’s gone.’
The white lines I had seen just a moment ago had disappeared without a trace. I couldn’t get the same view even when I tried to see it again.
As he was regaining his appetite, Cedric grabbed his shoulder.
“That just now.”
“huh?”
“It looks like you just cut through space itself. How did you do that?”
“How did you do it? Even if you ask like that.”
Izumi scratched the back of her head.
Clearly, something was ‘seen’, and thanks to that, I was able to cut through the empty space like a tofu and invade the space.
It’s impossible to do it again. At least not for now.
“As I thought about what Yuss had told me before, I felt as if I was being led by the Holy Sword.”
“… … .”
Cedric stared intently at Izumi, who shrugged her shoulders, then quickly looked away.
“This is a terrible place.”
Doseiji, who was secretly surprised by Izumi’s antics, soon came to his senses and said.
“It’s so desolate. Prince Yehyeon, it’s very similar to that guy’s image.”
The two, who did not know about the image, did not understand Do Seon-woo’s words.
‘Youth is here.’
Strictly speaking, Cedric was closer to not even thinking about understanding. He narrowed his brows and quickly looked around.
The city, which should have been clean and tidy, was filled with filth and stench. The smell of rotting corpses, the occasional eerie cries, and darkness.
He was so worried about Justinas being in such a terrible place that his eyes were spinning. With a few leaps, he climbed up the wall and then up to the very top of the seven-story tower.
‘-Traces of a fight.’
Looking down from above, he could soon find traces of the battle. After checking the direction, he went down and Izumi pointed to the same place.
“I smell gunpowder over there. It’s Liliana’s scent.”
“…Can you handle something like that?”
“Because it’s distinctive.”
Izumi responded calmly to Doseiji’s somewhat disgusted words. His nose was twitching.
Instead of engaging in the ridiculous farce, Cedric began to run with surprising speed.
“Ah! Cedric, come with me!”
“… He really is a short-tempered guy.”
The two men, who were not the culprits, soon caught up with Cedric. Each of them had someone to protect, so they soon discovered traces of the battle and chased after him.
Monsters that smelled humans come rushing in.
“Tsk, annoying.”
One by one, the monsters were destroyed by the gesture of the city’s hand. The gingers, whose bodies were engulfed in the blue current, were turned into pieces and spread out here and there.
Cedric paid no attention to the disgusting scene. He simply followed the small footsteps doggedly.
Irregular, one-sided footprints were particularly blunt. The owner of the footprints seemed to have been running in a hurry, often missing a step.
Cedric swallowed his anger. What was important now was not to get angry at the traces, but to find the real Justinas.
however…….
“… … Youth.”
Cedric’s eyes darkened as he discovered traces of someone rolling around in front of the drain and a large amount of blood.
