The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 290

Episode 290 Exploiting Weaknesses (3)

…Tukwahahahaha-!

The nib of the fountain pen became red. Approximately 5500℃. Ink erupted with heat comparable to the temperature of the sun’s surface. Violently. Explosively.

Kwahaak-!

A local heat storm occurred. It struck its target like a heated dagger. The five necks of the blood-flame beast. The chest area corresponding to the root was burned in an instant. No, it melted. The heat broke through and a hole appeared.

There was no way that the colony of bats that formed the chest of the beast would be safe. It was evaporated by the rush of radiant heat before it came into direct contact with the ink. The hole in the beast’s chest grew bigger. It got deeper. The unstoppable advance of heat. breakthrough!

‘…What?’

Anansha, who was curled up like a heart in the beast’s chest, was frightened. The crown prince’s disgusting speech. Strangely distorted speculations and accusations. Because of that, while his attention was distracted for a brief moment, he allowed the crown prince to approach him.

‘This… is dangerous.’

A chill that gives you goosebumps.

I was able to immediately realize where the terrible heat radiating from the crown prince was targeting. It’s yourself. You are trying to completely destroy yourself. If this continues, you will be punished.

The moment Anansha realized this, he responded immediately.

‘Kkeuch!’

I concentrated my mind. He took full advantage of the vitality of the Vampire Lord he had activated. He has increased his control over the bat colony that makes up the beast. The bat colony was concentrated in the chest area. So that it itself becomes a shield with hundreds of layers. To block out that heat.

Tsuzzzzzzzzzz!

The bat colony responded immediately.

At his command, they gathered around his chest. And melted in the heat. A new flock of bats filled the place that had melted. It evaporated, melted, and burned again. This happened several times within 0.1 seconds.

And finally the heat cooled down.

…Push!

Smoke rising explosively.

The stinging odor released by burning raw flesh.

Inside, the blood-flame beast fell to its knees like a statue that had consumed poison. The same was true for the five wildly pronged heads.

Kuuuung-!

The earth-shattering roar woke everyone up. The people in the main square raised their heads. Even in the dizziness of acute anemia, I narrowed my eyes to see the results of the terrible explosion just now.

It was the same for Rachiel.

‘…Ouch!’

Rakiel was crouching down in the same position where she sprayed the fountain pen. In his left hand, a ice shield of ice was unfolding. No, it almost melted and disappeared. This was because it blocked the terrible heat emitted by the fountain pen right in front of my nose.

‘I almost got fried too.’

Even though I did my best to protect myself from the cold of the ice cap, my whole body felt hot. It felt like I put on long padding and entered the most difficult sauna right after running a 100 meter race. In short, it was difficult to breathe because of the heat!

But I did it nonetheless.

It was a good hit.

The proof was that the blood-red beast that had been running wild was sitting down calmly.

‘What happened to the guy inside?’

He looked down at his feet. There was a tunnel, or rather a hole, about 1 meter in diameter. The hole was created by the heat that had just been sprayed with a fountain pen.

It was hard to see inside the hole. The smoke created by thousands of bats evaporating and melting alive was so thick. It was even so spicy that it stung my eyes. I could hardly open my eyes.

‘This isn’t some kind of chemical or biological room.’

I barely opened my eyes. Tears welled up. But he was an indomitable Korean. I opened my eyes steadfastly, recalling the memories(?) of the chemical and biological laboratory I experienced during my training camp.

‘Acupoint scanning!’

Ding dong!

[Acupuncture point scanning is activated.]

[Multiple targets with hemoglobin-based blood have been detected within the scanning range (radius of 150m).]

[All targets with hemoglobin within the range are automatically scanned.]

With a reassuring sound. My vision has changed. Beyond the acrid smoke, the situation inside the hole began to become visible.

But…

“Huh?”

I could see the outline of a person. Crouching posture. The angle of the head looking up this way. And… alive?

“…Kkkkkk! nice! Cool look! “Cough!”

It was at that time that a coughing sound mixed with laughter came from inside.

“It would be a shame, Crown Prince. “What if the conversion blow fails like this?”

“….”

The outline is clearly visible through acupuncture point scanning. Warlock. I could see its jaw moving. The flow of energy and blood flowing through its entire body and the exchange of mana with the surrounding bat colony were all… normal.

“It was dangerous just now. I thought I was going to die. But who would have known that that blow would not reach me by just one inch? uh?”

“….”

“And now that we’re talking like this, let me tell you that I’ve dated many women. Rather, according to rumors, it seems like the crown prince has never had a relationship with the opposite sex.”

Tsutsutsutsu!

As he spoke, thousands of bats were seen moving inside the beast. And in an instant, he began to fill the hole made by the fountain pen. So quickly, without even having time to do anything.

‘this.’

Should I shoot the fountain pen again right now?

But I couldn’t. This was because the ice shield’s ice shield had not yet been restored. However, if you blindly shoot a fountain pen without preparation, you too will suffer full-body burns from the terrible radiant heat.

The warlock seemed to have seen that fact as well.

“The strike you just took must have demonstrated your greatest skill. Isn’t that so, crown prince?”

“….”

“But I blocked it. I almost died, but I still managed to stop it. And this is how I was able to restore it. It will continue to be so. Prince, no matter how hard you try and shoot out flames, I will endure the same and rise again. “I have hundreds of thousands of bats left.”

“….”

“But are you going to shoot again?”

Tsutsu… Tsutsu…!

The hole is almost completely filled. On the other hand, the ice shield’s cold shield had not yet been restored. Just before the hole was completely blocked, I caught a glimpse of the warlock through the gap. The guy was laughing, pointing at the bat colony surrounding him.

“This is an absolute barrier.”

That’s a laugh.

I realized it the moment I saw it.

But Rachiel did not react.

I didn’t get angry, I didn’t get angry, and I didn’t respond with the same smile. He was just silent. With expressionless eyes, I stared at the hole being filled and the warlock inside it.

Meanwhile, the hole was finally completely filled. There was no trace left, as if it had never been hit. The blood beast’s movements also resumed.

“majesty!”

The five-pronged head started running wild again.

Guard Captain Sir Roberto shouted urgently. After all, the crown prince is standing at the center of the five heads. Because that is the most dangerous place. But the crown prince was standing there without making any movement.

“I’ll go!”

Damian, who was worse off, stepped forward. Afterwards, Javilon also kicked the ground. He abandoned the head he was in charge of and ran to save the crown prince, risking the risk of showing his back. It was because I thought that if I delayed it even a little bit, the crown prince would die.

The crown prince is still standing there dumbfounded. Could it be that he was shocked by the failure of a blow he had put forth with all his might? Have I resigned myself to despair? Did I really… give up on something like that?

Everyone who was watching the situation had similar thoughts. Countless people, including Damian, who had fallen in the square, unconsciously clenched their fists, swallowed their anger, and looked at the crown prince in support.

‘older brother…!’

2nd Prince Theodore had tears in his eyes.

He was the second prince who had seen how hard his half-brother had worked just a moment ago. A bizarre beast that suddenly appeared in the main plaza. People who fell. His brother, the crown prince, rose up to protect those people.

My older brother was once so sickly that he was treated as having no future. The older brother who was ignored by everyone. In the past, I even subconsciously thought of myself as someone who didn’t exist. As expected, I took it lightly. But…

‘Our Highness… was that kind of person?’

Citizens shook their shoulders without realizing it.

These were citizens who clearly realized what the crown prince had risen up for. I got goosebumps from this new realization. And I thought. How much they had underestimated the crown prince until now.

‘I just… I thought he was a person who practiced unusual medical techniques…’

‘But I thought he was still a weak and sickly person…’

‘The story about subduing a warlock in Kranos… just… Wasn’t it meant to embellish one’s achievements?’

‘So you’re saying you threw your whole body like that back then too?’

‘A person like that who is the equivalent of a crown prince?’

…for us.

Even though he was a member of the royal family, he took risks. He fought as if he had thrown everything he had, struck with all his might, and was overcome with frustration at the end.

“majesty!”

Damian ran even more urgently.

Unfortunately, it was still too far to reach the crown prince. It seemed like the beast’s attack would reach the prince first.

It certainly seemed like that.

Until the crown prince aimed his fountain pen again. Until I heard a soft but powerful murmur. It certainly was.

“…Okay, I got it. “Your way of defending yourself.”

Sigh.

Rakiel, who had been silent the entire time, finally made his move.

A very minor, small action aimed at a fountain pen. His eyes were shining more coolly than ever.

It was the look in the eyes of someone who had completed all calculations.

‘The size of the bat colony that has now gathered is hundreds of thousands. The number of bats that can be burned off with a single stroke of a fountain pen is in the thousands. A similar number of bats will be needed to fill and repair the holes created by each blow.’

…And that’s how much other parts of the bat will be consumed.

‘Can I just keep filling it up? really?’

The warlock’s rant came to mind. The eyes that were laughing at this side came to mind. So I felt even happier.

Is there really an unlimited number of bats needed for restoration? Or is the number of triggers of the fountain pen unlimited?

‘Warlock, you may not know this, but….’

…Groar!

‘This thing called a fountain pen. Strangely enough, it is a paradoxical item that requires a shabby mind control to minimize the mana that is being pumped in in order to shoot it at maximum output. So, surprisingly, the efficiency is quite amazing.’

So there is only one conclusion.

defense? Using the number of bat colonies? A way to keep making up for it no matter how much you hit it?

‘You guys have an absolute barrier? Like bulletproof glass?’

Then this one…

Kiiiiing!

The fountain pen once again pointed directly at the beast’s weak point. Like holding a pistol to the bulletproof windshield of a car. The minimum amount of mana was invested using a vague technique. The fountain pen turned red at maximum output.

A fierce smile appeared on Rachiel’s lips.

“…There are still a thousand steps left.”
