The Regressor and the Blind Saint - The Regressor and the Blind Saint chapter 259

Vera tried to open his eyes.

From https://noblemtl.net

One went back by fire.

There was no other reason.

‘what… !’

My body didn’t move.

Exactly, it was not recognized as a body.

A sensation that continues right after the halo fills the field of vision.

Vera was reminded of fear at the vague sense of blurring the boundaries of existence.

‘… how.’

Will it disappear like this?

Where is this place and what am I?

No body, no sense.

Since only continuous thoughts hold onto the existence of ‘I’, only the thought that we must not let go of it strikes us.

Meanwhile.

[There is no need to resist.]

Nertania’s voice rang out.

Vera listened to the voice.

[Well, haven’t you arrived here in heaven? Now that I’m in my parents’ arms, I just have to accept it.]

A teasing tone arouses suspicion.

However, Vera, now knowing that there was no reason for her to harm him, obeyed.

[Imagine. The boundary that separates you and the world comes from that, so draw the world with what you know.]

Vera wanted to affirm that statement.

Then a voice came out.

“… All right.”

I recognized the act of ‘opening my eyes’.

Then a vision was created.

[Yeah, build it like that one by one.]

Recognize the act of ‘nodding your head’.

A sensation rises above the neck.

The next thing that comes to mind is the body that makes up ‘I’.

build a skeleton

Then the blood vessels pulsating with one flow, the muscles that have always been the most reliable ally, and the skin on them.

The hair that tickles the skin again, the fine hair, and the body move, which depicts the sensation of friction, and then the sacrum to cover the body and the cross that will serve as a milestone.

Woo woo-.

Finally, I remembered the holy sword.

“Ugh… !”

Vera let out a breath.

Then I looked at the revealed place.

‘… pure white.’

It was a pure white world.

He was wealthy there.

I don’t feel the space.

Time is also not felt.

Only the distant nothingness is spread out there.

[Next, imagine. Well, this place is heaven. You are stepping in there, and in the end, you will have our parents.]

I followed the voice and expanded my thinking.

[A heaven you can imagine. Draw it.]

The image that comes to mind according to the word heaven is visualized.

‘… A great temple.’

When I drew a huge temple where the thrones of the gods were located, space sprang up.

However, it wasn’t perfect.

The halos were fading away, creating a blurry silhouette that at first glance looked like a temple.

[This is enough. Now, then, draw the time next.]

hour.

Vera’s brow narrowed at asking him to paint an invisible concept, but fortunately he had the brain to understand what he meant.

‘A trace of recognizing time.’

It would mean to draw it.

Vera stared at the temple.

There he engraved things like stains that could be contained over the years.

‘flow.’

In order to feel the passing of time through the body, a breeze is carved into the space.

Saaa-.

As a soft noise tickled Vera’s ears, her words continued in the form of a distinct voice.

“Good job.”

It was a good voice to hear.

Vera’s head turned to the right.

There, there was a woman with a splendid impression who suddenly took shape.

Vera’s brow furrowed.

“… Nertania?”

“Then who am I?”

“That look… .”

Vera’s words did not follow.

It was because her appearance was a little different from what he knew.

Gorgeous blonde hair, alluring dresses, and twelve arms were still the same, but one thing that could not be ignored was different.

“You mean this face?”

Nertania ran her hand over her face.

Red eyes twinkle under the neatly falling golden eyelashes. Red lips like blood draw arcs under the raised nose bridge.

“Why, did you fall in love again?”

The expression disappeared from Vera’s face.

Nertania laughed out loud and tapped Vera’s shoulder.

“I’m going to relax my face. I don’t like you that much either.”

Behind the giggles of laughter, words that at first glance could be heard as provocations.

“What would you do with a milky little kid like you?”

A laugh escaped Vera’s mouth at the act of shrugging.

“… Stop talking nonsense.”

“Yeah, um. It’s been a while since I’ve come back and I’m a little excited.”

Nertania’s gaze turned to the temple.

The expression on her face contained a clear longing.

“You are finally home.”

Red pupils glistened with water.

Vera looked at it for a moment, then turned his head toward the temple and asked.

“Where have the others gone?”

“I went first. It’s time for everyone to sleep. Oh, there was something Gorgan asked for. Take good care of the puppy or something.”

“Did you leave Hyria behind?”

“Yeah, because it belonged to that land in the first place.”

It was an indifferent tone.

As Vera, it was understandable.

I met her at the Citadel of the Black Night, and she acted like she didn’t even care about my children.

Vera’s head nodded up and down.

The problem with Hyria is not urgent right now, so he thought it would be better to cover it up, so he spit out another question that came to mind.

“Is this heaven?”

“okay.”

“That temple… .”

“It’s the heaven you thought it was.”

A smile grew on the corners of Nertania’s lips.

“It means that the space has been lowered in line with your common sense.”

Her outstretched fingertips caressed the space.

“If you don’t do this, you won’t understand.”

“… higher dimension.”

“That’s what the creatures call it.”

The Temple of Light.

Vera looked at it for a while, then asked, clenching his fists.

“Can I go over there?”

“Yes, your parents will welcome you. You were a pretty good kid.”

good ira

Whether it was because he saved the world, or whether it was because he was an Ardain reincarnation, Vera did not know.

Vera cleared his breath.

Then he bowed to her.

“… Thanks for the guidance.”

“Go.”

Nertania has returned.

“Well, I should go for a little walk and then go to sleep.”

And then it turned into a flash of light.

The entrance to the temple where only the breeze remains.

Vera looked at where she had disappeared, and then moved on.

freak.

It was a space that had no choice but to explain.

At the same time, it was a space where nostalgia came to mind for some reason.

jerk.

jerk.

Vera walked along the road.

It was my first time visiting this place, but for some reason the structure was so familiar, I walked without hesitation.

However, that was not to say that even his innermost thoughts were clear.

why not

At the end of this road is the Creator who built the land where he was born and raised.

Isn’t this the place where the parents of all things are?

I had a question I had in my life.

From macro issues such as why they made the world with this structure and why it ended in this way.

Even microscopic issues such as why it had to be me and why it had to be her.

Vera’s expression clouded as his mind was cluttered with all sorts of questions.

wanted to ask

So I retraced my steps.

nevertheless hesitated.

However, they didn’t wait.

Wow-!

a ray of light spreads

Vera narrowed his eyes and let them go.

As soon as it was revealed, he stopped breathing.

“ah… .”

A short sound escaped Vera’s mouth.

It was awe-inspiring.

The nine thrones in front of them were due to the incomprehensible beings sitting there.

Vera only now understood what Nertania meant.

-If you don’t do this, you won’t understand.

Indeed it was.

Vera could not understand them.

Despite their presence in front of their eyes, they could not feel their presence, and even though they were born as their children, they could not feel them in their origins.

The expression “whitening your head” is probably only used at times like this, and Vera opened his mouth blankly as he thought about it.

That was the moment.

—–.

Something flashed through Vera’s mind.

At that, Vera’s eyes widened as if torn apart, and then he trembled.

So I shed tears

I didn’t know what this was.

It’s just that they conveyed their intentions to them.

Vera only noticed it and turned his head.

The corner of Daejeon of the Lighthouse.

There was a small side door.

Vera bit his lip and made his way towards the side door.

Approaching the side door that stood the only right in a world where everything was blurry, Vera looked back at them one last time.

– The gods do not give answers.

Vera thought.

They are the literal beings Bargo once said.

profit-.

The door opened, and Vera stepped out.

*

What followed was another pure white world.

However, this time too, Vera knew the way forward.

It is because there was a jet-black road in that pure white world.

Vera walked the road without hesitation.

I walked because I had a strong intuition that at the end of this road there would be the arms of someone I longed for.

I didn’t know how much time had passed.

I didn’t even know what this place was.

Woo woo-.

Only the occasional ringing of the holy sword reminded him that he was not dreaming.

how far did you walk

[Come here.]

An unfamiliar voice pierced Vera’s ears.

Vera’s head was raised.

At the end of the wandering movement, he could find a seal.

All-black robes.

A gold pocket watch hanging around his neck.

It was Orgus.

He reached out and pointed in one direction.

There was a new road that had never existed before.

[Go ahead.]

Vera took turns looking at the road and the Orgus, and then moved again.

jerk-.

Since coming here, Vera heard my footsteps for the first time.

What comes to mind together is the thought that this space seems to be coming to an end.

The hope that if we cross over there, we can finally meet Renee.

footsteps accelerated

Vera, who suddenly realized that it would be more correct to say that he was running rather than walking, ran out there.

Meanwhile.

stop-.

Vera’s steps stopped.

It was just that he stopped by Orgus’s side.

[Go.]

Vera’s head turned and turned to Orgus.

Beneath the hood of the robe was an infinite abyss.

Facing it directly, Vera licked his lips.

“… Lushan.”

From https://noblemtl.net

Orgus’ movement stopped.

The inside of the hood was facing exactly where Vera was.

Vera thought for some reason that he was looking at him.

[How do you think so?]

There was a strange smile in the tone of the question.

Vera let out an unpretentious remark.

“It just feels that way.”

There was no reason.

No, if I had to pick one thing, I would be able to choose the Daejeon I came to before coming here, and the strange longing I felt there.

laughter rang out.

From https://noblemtl.net

Orgus.

No, Lushan shrugged and laughed.

[okay… .]

The shape of the hand that seemed to belong to the old man was blurred.

Vera now does not even know whether he is an old man or a child, or whether he is a young man or a woman.

[Hey, how was your life?]

The sudden question was so playful that Vera could understand his essence in it.

Lushan, the god of promise.

A playful harasser who exists intensely even though it has no form, and transforms into tens of thousands of forms depending on how one accepts it.

The most mysterious of the nine ancient species was his other face.

a moment of silence.

Vera answered his question with a question.

“Why me?”

[It was just you.]

“Why did it have to be her?”

[That’s also why it had to be her.]

Vera took a long breath and looked at him.

Lushan’s laughter grew louder when he remembered the thought that it was really no good to talk round and round as if he wasn’t going to answer anything.

Vera stared at him with his lips closed, this time asking another question.

“… Why were you like this when I was there?”

I still vividly remember the day I first went to Elijah and received a revelation.

How disappointed I was at the revelation of ‘passing’ that I had received that day.

Lushan’s laughter stopped when Vera shut his mouth, hoping to hear more of this.

[…] It literally means.]

Lushan raised her hand.

Tok-.

In the middle of Vera’s chest, he answered, pointing to the soul within.

[You haven’t already found it.]

Vera’s eyes widened.

Lushan looked at Vera like that and asked again.

[Well, tell me. What have you been living for?]

Vera pondered the question blankly, then smiled like him.

So he turned around.

“love. I lived for it.”

I finally gave him the answer I found and headed over the road.

Lushan’s fading presence.

By the time it was completely gone, Vera heard a small whisper.

[Hey, you’re telling me the answer now.]

This, too, was a tone full of laughter.
