37 – #09. A sinner who cannot be saved (1)

There was no trembling.

Unexpectedly, it was unexpected, but I didn’t feel any hesitation while making eye contact with Cecilia and approaching slowly.

My head feels like it’s going to explode.

A white light burst from beneath her feet.

That’s the s*x law.

The only miracle that God bestowed on this earth.

A miraculous manifestation that he can bring anyone back to life as long as he is not completely dead. The source of power that made the Holy Kingdom not just a religious group, but also raging within this continent, is now here.

My head feels like it’s going to explode.

I remembered Neira’s words. She remembered Mea’s worries. Remember Lenny’s request.

Taking another step while recalling the voices of those who told me to continue this miserable life. Two steps. He drew her sword and slowly approached her.

Hair,

I think it’s about to explode.

“Ceciliaaa!!”

He kicked her to the ground, calling her to tear her throat.

I don’t care about the aftermath.

The opponent is the apex of the Holy Kingdom, and in a sense one of the apex of this world. Among the numerous people called heroes, Cecilia’s name was clearly written.

You can’t fight her back and forth against her.

That’s why I just run.

No one except Cecilia was in sight. In a situation where Lennie had also been evacuated to the back, the only thing I had in mind was the girl or woman in front of me.

“…… Pray.”

With a short recitation, this empty space was filled with pure white light.

Only here? Maybe this city, this area.

Perhaps it was a beam of loving-kindness that spread as if it would fill the entire world.

“Our idol in heaven.”

The ground rumbles.

“The starlight that embroiders light and brightens the night sky.”

The wind blew.

At that moment, the dust rolled up and blocked my view, but more than that, I couldn’t see Cecilia because of the pure white light that filled the area.

“O Master of Creation, who bestowed with love and reaped us with loving-kindness and devotion.”

I was out of breath.

She is obviously running at full speed, but for some reason it doesn’t reach her. The gap between perception and body was infinitely far, and it felt as if the present moment had stopped.

“A miracle here.”

I felt as if the density of the air had changed.

The heavy pressure that weighs down the body, and this baptism of light that can’t see an inch ahead.

Could all this be the power of the Holy Law?

Around the time when Cecilia’s voice was no longer audible, I could see her closing her eyes with her hands folded in front of her as she slammed the ground one last time.

“Cecilia!!”

“Seo Seo.”

She raises her head slightly and says.

“It will hurt a little.”

She couldn’t understand it with her head.

My body just reacted first. In an instant, the strong energy that I felt from the top of her head gave her feet a boost, stopped her movement, and raised her sword above her head.

“Kheop!!”

Light cannot hold quantity.

Such obvious logic does not work in this world. The light of the Holy Law fell on my head like a pillar, and I gritted my teeth and barely held on as my knees were about to break the moment the swords met.

“Heh, hehehe! With this run…… !!”

Shoulders, elbows, wrists.

Every joint screams to withstand the falling weight. The bones creaked and seemed to collapse at any moment, but with the strength of the legs, it was about to collapse little by little, starting with the knees.

“…… It’s Seo-nim, after all.”

Worn out.

Life, maybe even the soul.

All the power that can be squeezed out of my body is being cut away with this one shot. The pain that seemed like my bones would break was overwhelming, and my body was already as hot as it was about to get hot, so I felt like my head was about to explode.

“But… !!”

I didn’t wake up to be defeated by something like this.

There were many people behind me to protect, and compared to the weight of the guilt I had to shoulder and the atonement I had to pay, this pillar of light was nothing.

I can endure it.

Even if it seemed like I couldn’t overcome it, I couldn’t give up.

“Cecil, Lia…… !!”

I gritted my teeth and tried to raise my head, but suddenly the scenery reflected on my retina quickly passed by.

Pain felt in the abdomen. I finally recognized that I had been kicked when I saw Cecilia’s leg lifted at the end of my line of sight.

“hahahaha!!”

I rolled on the ground feeling the oxygen running out.

My whole body was numb and aching, but my heart was more than that. My head hurt more. I hated having to fight like this with someone I loved and would have loved.

“…… My head feels like it’s going to explode.”

Only once.

Even though that was the only dead end, his whole body was in tatters.

“My head exploded. After being smashed crushed.”

“I don’t know what you mean.”

Cecilia approaches me creeping her ground with her light steps.

Her head is about to explode.

Even now, the scene that I see when I close my eyes keeps flickering. The scene where a woman jumped off and her head was smashed and exploded.

I forced her to stand up.

A saint looking down on sinners. A sinner who stands up again in front of the saintess.

“…… My mistress. Do you also accept the Sacrament of Reconciliation?”

“I will listen to whatever Seo says. Of course, I will listen slowly in the cathedral.”

She twisted the corner of her mouth.

She had only blocked a pillar of light from falling from the sky once, but her legs were already shaking. Her arm didn’t work well either, so she forcibly endured the fact that she would miss the sword if she made the slightest mistake.

You can still fight.

Looking at me like that, Cecilia opened her mouth with a sad expression.

“…… Is it really that bad to want everyone to live happily?”

“Wrong way.”

“War cannot be stopped. How many people do you think live in this world with a real sense of ethics? God said to love others and not to do anything dishonest. He said to keep what even a child knows, but is that simple thing that difficult?”

Easy yet difficult.

What I can say at my age as a sinner.

The moral point of view and ethics that I know of course in my head seem obvious, but there were too many temptations to live by keeping them throughout my life.

“If war doesn’t end anyway, we will preach the rightness by force.”

“Even if the intentions are good, if the means are violent, it is just coercion.”

“Forced? Do what Even Seo-nim can’t stop this. Because I love this world too much, and that’s why I can’t forgive things that harm the order.”

Cecilia was clearly distorted.

She hates disorder because she loves peace. She hates crime because she loves the world. She denies desire because she loves order.

It is already at a morbid level.

Can a war for peace truly be called peace?

There was not much she could say to her, who declared that she would castrate the desires and desires of her intellect that would not disappear from this world.

“So Mr. Seo. It’s the last one.”

She held out her hand.

“Help me. The fact that Seo-sama came down to this world, and the fact that he has such an ability. Besides, it is God’s will that all the major figures in human history are women at this time.”

“…… If that’s true, God is great too.”

It’s so great that there’s no way to fathom its true intentions.

This ability was a curse that forced others. If that is God’s will, isn’t God the benevolent thing we know?

All of this.

If even the ability to charm me is God’s will, then I will deny God.

Holy God above the sky.

Just watch us.

I don’t need your help.

“There’s no such thing as a miracle.”

Even if it was a god, there was a high probability that it was an evil god with a dirty temper.

“Well done, bro!!”

That time when I faced her, denying her god.

From the edge of the field of vision, something ran as if it were being shot.

By the time the voice reached my ears, Jack had already reached in front of me, right up close to Cecilia, raising his fist.

Cecilia is blown away by her fist, which she swung wide while leaning back.

Her body rolls and rolls on the ground before finally stopping.

“I don’t know what’s going on, and I’m sorry that I hit your ex-girlfriend! Still, war or whatever, this is a b*tch!”

The attack went straight.

The fist that knocked down the paladin’s armor went straight to her face. Originally, it would have been normal if he couldn’t get up again, but looking at his appearance so far, he couldn’t be sure.

“Brother, let’s jump out as soon as possible. That is a complete monster.”

Her appearance is close to that of a cute girl, but she is also a person who has risen to the ranks of a hero.

Even though she seems to have managed to defeat her with this surprise attack, she never knew when she would rise again. Besides, you don’t know when the soldiers will come again, so the answer is to leave this place as soon as possible.

“First of all, I am Lenny. By the way Jack, can you move?”

“I don’t know. It looks like it broke a few ribs, but since it can run, it moves.”

It seems to have crossed the category of being tough, but right now I am just grateful for that strength.

Let’s get out of here first.

I’ll have to talk to Cecilia again someday, but there was no way we could understand each other even if we had a one-sided conversation with her taking the initiative away.

So, for now….

“Pray.”

“…… Oh, this is wrong.”

I heard mixed voices.

After that, Jack disappeared from my sight in an instant, and a pure white light took his place, making his presence known.

“It hurt a little bit.”

Cecilia nodded her head and rose from her seat.

Her clothes were also torn here and there, and her usual white outfit was dyed red from blood. Despite being in an abnormal state for anyone to see, she casually sets her foot on her land.

“Jack!!”

“Seo, where are you looking?”

Light emanating from her body.

Now, he has completely abandoned that honorific and smells dangerous, even with a dry expression that shows no emotion whatsoever. None of this was alarming.

“Look at me.”

“…… Cecilia.”

“I will save the world. I will rid the world of sadness and absurdity. Salvation of all, that salvation. And Seo-nim is definitely included in all of them.”

I really hated myself.

Trash with no way to save it messed up while installing it, and in the end, everyone was harmed.

“I will forgive all your sins. I will also save Seo-nim, who really hates herself. So it’s fine now.”

Cecilia moved her steps slowly.

With such light steps, you approach me like a butterfly flying.

“Choose me.”

She was clearly smiling.
