The Blind Saint Who Can See - Chapter 97
Only Noblemtl
#97. Plague Lord (2)
“Youth, Tinas… … .”
The two people embracing each other looked so good together that Cedric used so much strength in his grip on his sword that his hand turned white.
‘… Let’s calm down.’
Now was not the time to focus on petty jealousy. He turned his gaze away from the limping Justinas.
What is in front of you is a lake.
He patted the wound as if the severed arm was nothing serious. A new arm grew from the amputated area where the bleeding had stopped. It was a shockingly fast recovery.
The mouth of the lake rose.
“What a rat-like guy.”
Cedric didn’t answer.
Justinas was such a noble man that even he was always on edge.
But then that guy touched her body with his dirty hands.
Dare.
He lifted his sharpened black sword and aimed it. The muscles in his thighs that touched the ground bulged as if they were going to burst.
phut!
Cedric’s new form was flung forward with a noise that split the space. It was a lightning strike.
The tip of the sword grazed his shoulder. Cedric smelled the familiar scent of blood.
But the result was different than usual.
“Is this all?”
The wound that should have been fatal healed in an instant. All that was left were Cedric, who had momentarily lost his balance due to the speed, and Ho-cheon, who was ready to attack.
And then.
Chijichijijik!
A blue current briefly obscures Hocheon’s vision. The hand that was reaching out to Cedric was used to catch the mask that fell from the impact.
After that, a familiar smell of coal appears.
Seeeeeek.
The most violent and violent of fire magic.
The talisman that Justinas personally selected was heated up with the power of rage, creating a magic bullet. The red power that seemed to consume the surrounding area hit Hocheon directly.
“Huh!”
Ho-cheon, who had lost one hand, took a back step in an instant. The fire that spread down his arm to his face did more damage than the hand that seemed to have been torn open.
Profit.
The fire that had spread was barely extinguished when Hocheon dipped his arms deep into the water on the floor. The man showed his discomfort behind the crow mask.
“… … I was just trying to play with you for a bit, but you’re urging me on.”
He raises his head.
Above, there was Izumi, jumping powerfully and trying to bring down the holy sword.
“Hey!”
“-Die.”
A powerful malice shot out from Hocheon’s hand. It was not the deep blue water magic he always carried around, but a plague flowing from a rotting corpse.
Izumi’s eyes widened as she swung down her holy sword. At a glance, an ominous plague was right before her eyes.
The state of floating in the air.
There is no escape.
Justinus shouted urgently.
“Liliana!”
bang!
A small magic bullet is fired toward the plague. However, the bullet, which was not properly loaded in the urgent situation, was not enough to fight against the plague of Sacheon.
The magic of the flower world disappears as it is consumed by the plague. 3 seconds before Izumi’s body, which has nowhere to step, falls into the plague.
=Cedric, stop me.
Cedric jumped in without hesitation at the message ringing in his head.
Izumi is thrown out of the air by Cedric’s rush. He is shaken by the strong impact, but he quickly lands safely using a fall technique.
Meanwhile, Cedric.
“…!”
I gasped in shock at the impact, which was much stronger than I expected.
Intense malice instantly corrupts the body of a living being. Even Cedric, who was constantly crossing the line between life and death, found it difficult to endure the sensation with his mind intact.
But this will soon subside.
The plague that was corrupting the flesh from the extremities of the body was put to an end by the gentle power of the Holy Spirit. A clear, clean, and infinitely benevolent power surrounded him.
Thus, by the time Cedric reached the bottom, he had recovered to the point where no trace of his body remained. It was a miracle comparable to the regenerative power of the demons.
Iron Buck!
Cedric landed hard and looked back. As expected, Justinas was breathing heavily.
He understood why Justinas had ‘used’ him as a shield against the plague instead of Izumi.
=Thank you.
Even if it is cured right away, the pain does not go away. The ‘plague’ of Hocheon is an instant death, but at the same time, the pain alone is enough to drive a person crazy.
Izumi Polli, who had no experience in the rough battlefield, would have been discouraged the moment he encountered the plague. So Justinas gave instructions to Cedric.
Protect Izumi Polly.
=Izumi probably won’t be able to withstand the shock. So please continue.
Justinas gave the exact same answer as expected. Cedric took a step back, gasping for breath as he looked at the castle facing the lake.
=Still… …don’t worry.
Every word Justinas utters is clearly engraved in my heart.
=I will take all the wounds you have suffered.
You can’t blame Justinas.
The instructions she gave Cedric were the most efficient way to further the cause.
Moreover, she did not only burden Cedric with her suffering.
The pain he feels is fleeting.
In less than a second, Justinas was left with all the horrible sensations he had felt.
but…….
Is it really because of ‘efficiency’?
It’s not that I don’t trust Justinas. I understand her convictions and determination.
Can you say that you had no feelings whatsoever about that instruction just now?
‘……ah.’
He clutched his chest.
‘Youth, you are really.’
My heart was pounding.
‘… How cruel.’
This was the first crack.
The Justinas that Cedric sees is still the absolute good. A fanatical saint who came directly from heaven to save poor humanity.
But at the same time, Cedric loved the human Justinas. He could not forget the kindness and favor she had shown him when he was just a back-alley brat.
“Cedric, you’re a really cool kid.”
Even the words I said shyly.
He leaped.
In the tangled battlefield, Izumi was in danger several times.
Firstly, it was because Ho-cheon was focusing on Izumi, who was holding the Holy Sword, and secondly, it was because of his lack of experience.
One look at Izumi’s swordsmanship and you can tell at a glance that he has never studied swordsmanship systematically.
However, the fact that he can do this much against Hocheon is thanks to the overwhelming talent he has had since birth and the guidance of Seongyu Seong.
But unpolished talent cannot prevent all dangers.
Every time that happened, Cedric jumped in front of Izumi.
Over and over again.
Willingly throw yourself into it.
Fulfills Justin’s wish.
He gritted his teeth.
Unlike my body that moved naturally along the familiar sword path, my mind was constantly stirred. A terrible stench emanated from the battlefield where love, resentment, and ugly jealousy toward Justinas were mixed.
“Those damn humans!”
He didn’t have time to look away from the endless series of attacks. He focused with his eyes wide open.
Even a moment of carelessness can lead to fatal disaster among those who have never been in sync before. It is common for allies to get entangled and self-destruct.
Cedric couldn’t look back.
So I didn’t know.
Justinas, who has healed all party members without resting for even a moment, what is his current state?
