The Blind Saint Who Can See - Chapter 98
Only Noblemtl
#98. Plague Lord (3)
Cedric was like a dark and silent beast. Even if the opponent he was facing was not Homan, his sword strikes that approached quietly would have killed thousands more.
The lightning that Dosungji sends out is, needless to say, amazing. The blue current that moves according to her will resembles the magic power of the demons, so it can be said that there is virtually no penalty for humans when dealing with the demons.
Liliana also did much better than I expected. The occasional suppressive attacks blocked Hocheon’s vision at the right time and pushed him to the corner he wanted. If the battlefield had been a place without a single drop of water, these attacks would have been fatal.
Do Hye-won… … Do Hye-won really has unexpected power. I didn’t know that the curse spell that grabs Ho-cheon’s ankle and reduces his speed would be so effective.
And Izumi.
The power contained in the holy sword is powerful in every stroke. The holy power, which is the opposite of the devil, can cause damage just by brushing against the lake and the sky.
At the same time, it is also immature.
His sword is straight. Unlike Cedric who uses all kinds of tricks and petty grabs, he clumsily imitates the standard swordsmanship used by the nobles of the country, making mistakes one after another.
With the swordsmanship that Seong Yoo-seong possesses, he can annihilate the weak. However, if he lacks a fundamental understanding of battle, he will have no means of overcoming those stronger than him.
Still, Izumi was the most important person at this party.
The demon tribe, which continues to regenerate no matter how many times you cut it, can only be killed by cutting off its neck and blowing off its head. The demon tribe also knows its own weakness well, so it sends 50% of its magical power near its neck and is always on guard.
A defense that cannot be penetrated by the concentrated magic of the city and Liliana, by Cedric’s fierce swordsmanship, or by Do Hye-won’s specialty, curse magic.
The only means of breaking through this near-absolute defense is the brilliant starlight of the Holy Meteor.
So Izumi must not be broken.
He must go through many battles, learn the ‘vision’ that Seong Yoo-seong shows, and open his divinity in an unaware state to become stronger.
To deal with the Demon King.
=Cedric, stop me.
…so I used Cedric.
All ‘control’ over him was in preparation for the Battle of Hocheon.
I had to amplify his feelings of guilt and affection, and make sure he would follow my orders at the crucial moment.
Even if that order means putting yourself in danger.
=Thank you.
As expected, Cedric volunteered to be the shield without a moment’s hesitation. His body, hit directly by the plague, rots away.
It’s the same ending as the original.
The instant death of Hocheon.
The moment it touches you, the body’s extremities begin to decay, and the time it takes for the aftereffects to reach the heart is about 5 seconds. For Cedric, who is not human, it would take about a minute.
“Oh, no. Cedric, your body… … .”
“Hey, don’t cry.”
“Cedric!”
“It’s not like I’m dying in your place because I like a kid like you.”
Cedric, who was originally hit by the magic instead of Izumi, dies as a human.
The rest is a familiar process.
He was reborn as a demon and was reassembled near the Kharif Mountains. After stirring up all sorts of places, he entered the Demon King’s mountain and received the title of the Heavenly King.
“Did you trust me? I’m sorry, but you’ll have to die here.”
It stands at the opposite end of the warrior party.
But now it’s different.
=… … Don’t worry.
As long as I’m here, Cedric won’t die from such a clumsy instant death.
=I will take all the wounds you have suffered.
Area healing.
A miracle permitted by the system surrounds Cedric.
“…!”
As he heals, my body takes a hit in return. Even though it was only a single ‘wide-area healing’, I feel like the injury is on a different level than before.
The battle continued. I held my breath and clasped my hands together.
I wish I had some time to rest.
Hocheon was stronger than the original, which I fought with moderate lenience. I absorbed all the minor injuries so as not to interfere with the party members’ battles as much as possible.
Hocheon, Raven.
His nickname is Plague Lord.
As his nickname suggests, each and every wound causes necrosis of the flesh the moment it is left unattended. The burden on my body, which absorbs all of those infected wounds, builds up.
The only good thing is that my body is completely immune to bacterial infections. If it weren’t for that, I’d be crawling on the floor a long time ago.
however-
“Cough!”
Cedric is hit by the second instant death spell. His hands and feet instantly turn black.
Put your hands together and pray,
The moment I was about to do it.
‘… is dangerous.’
A warning sign went off in my head.
This is what happens when you absorb an instant death attack just once. If Cedric, who keeps reviving, gets hit with instant death attacks in succession, I, who am healing him, will also take critical damage.
Maybe it’s irreversible.
Like a leg lost while protecting him.
A kind of instinctive premonition came over me.
“……haha.”
But what, what do you want me to do?
Justinas’ body is expendable.
I’ll destroy as much as I want the shell that I’m going to throw away when the mission is over.
“Lord, please give him strength.”
Wide-area treatment.
A holy light surrounds Cedric along with the skill. At the same time, a terrible change comes to his body as the load accumulates.
“Ugh.”
I groaned.
Turn your gaze downwards.
‘ah?’
My arm, my arm is crushed.
At first glance, it is an irreversible injury. This kind of injury cannot be treated even with modern medicine in the 21st century. It is as impossible as asking to grind an arm in a blender and then reattach it.
… … Should I be thankful that my already broken left arm was mangled? If it had been my right… … .
“… … .”
Just a moment ago, you were confidently shouting things like ‘I’ll ruin it!’, but even so, this is too much.
No. I thought my intestines would be torn off or something. What if I just cut my arm off?
If you can’t use your left arm or right leg, your range of movement is severely limited. Even if you put aside the aesthetic problem, it’s pitiful to look at.
Being a wound absorber while paralyzed is, well, a bit too miserable a thing to have even the slightest dignity.
Meanwhile, another arm of the city wall was blown away. I used area healing mechanically, and coughed up blood due to my stomach gradually being damaged.
‘… … Ah. Okay.’
Just die!
When you die, your damaged eyes, your severed legs, and your disfigured arms won’t matter.
Since I have extra life, I can just be resurrected. This body can just be used and thrown away. It’s a consumable.
Even in the lab, you don’t reuse used test specimens, right?
therefore.
I chuckled.
I was glad I didn’t feel any pain.
Cedric is once again struck down by an instant death machine.
“… area healing.”
therapy.
Another treatment.
Treatment again.
Cedric, who blocks all critical hits with his body at the forefront of his comrades, has his limbs torn off again and again.
Every time I attached his limbs, I regenerated them, I put them back.
My body is broken.
The five internal organs, which are most important for sustaining life, were twisted from the inside, and the legs, whose nerves were severed, rotted and broke off completely below the ankles.
That’s okay though.
In the battle that comes into view, Izumi’s swordsmanship gradually becomes more refined. The sword that used to be like a good child gradually becomes sharper, and sometimes draws an eerie trajectory.
okay.
The main character is growing steadily.
As he grows up, he will eventually stab the Demon King’s neck and become the savior of humanity.
That’s fine.
I am.
He was smiling faintly, but his eyes met with Izumi’s, who had fallen behind him. When zoomed in, his expression of shock and anger became vivid.
“Fucking raveeeeeee!”
Izumi suddenly screamed, calling Ho-cheon’s name.
Hit the ground. Water splashes.
Thump.
The sword that was shot was in a straight line.
However, the brilliant light surrounding Cedric with his limbs severed, the current of the castle grounds, and the smoke from Liliana’s gunshot are all obscured by the square.
Hocheon belatedly notices the holy sword reaching towards him. He rolls his feet at an unbelievable speed.
“what!”
It was just blocked.
When he lowered his gaze, his feet were caught in dozens of cursed stones that Do Hye-won had laid down during the battle.
“What the hell-”
Just one second.
The time it takes for Hocheon to escape from the cursed area.
And, the sword strike that Izumi’s ‘vision’ had shown was the time needed to cut off Ho-cheon’s neck.
Holy Comet
-Crunch.
A dazzling meteor showered down.
