The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 406
Episode 406 If you look closely… huh? (1)
Tukwahak!
A fierce heat storm.
Acceleration that pushes the entire body.
A sense of liberation from the earth.
The radioactive Bone Dragon was moving away in an instant. I could see the guy hesitating as he looked this way. He was unable to move any further as he was recovering from the blow he had just received from Damian. Are you angry because of your situation? Is that why it roars like that?
– Sssssssssssssssssssssss-!
Roar?
I don’t know.
Why does it sound more like a cry of sorrow than a roar of anger? As if he was clinging to me and begging me not to go.
“….”
But now was not the time to indulge in strange sentiments. Before I knew it, the ground was getting closer again. Landing? No, at this speed it would be almost like a fall.
‘now!’
Rachiel’s eyes lit up.
The moment I felt I was somewhat close to the ground, I aimed the fountain pen downward. I pushed in the minimum amount of mana. The response came soon.
Two hit!
A fierce heat storm shoots out again.
The ground that I thought was getting closer became farther away.
The distance from the radioactive Bone Dragon widened further.
-Hahaha! Hahaha!
A roar that becomes more sorrowful as it goes further away. It was strange. Why must I feel a strange sense of guilt the more I hear that? Damian, who was picked up and carried on his back, seemed to feel something similar.
“Your Highness… That Bone Dragon… Isn’t it a little strange?”
“uh. I know. By the way, what about you? Are you okay?”
“no. “It’s not okay.”
“Do you think you’re going to pass out?”
“yes. That’s why I’m deliberately talking to Your Highness.”
“good job. Good decision. Don’t faint. “It’s an order.”
“When you say that, it makes me want to faint.”
“Anyway, I don’t listen to what you say, tsk.”
“If not at a time like this, when will we see this?”
“Is that so?”
“yes.”
“Then hold on tight.”
Took-!
A heat storm blows out again.
But now the distance from Bone Dragon has not grown far. No, rather, it was narrowing down. Steadily. As much as the Bone Dragon’s excessive obsession with the artifact.
-Hatsuhaak-! Haaah!
Did you know that Bone Dragon would be out of breath?
The movements of the guy chasing us seemed more desperate than ever before. The distance became even narrower. slowly. Steadily. Just looking at it gives me goosebumps.
‘Did you think you would get caught so easily?’
Toukhak-!
Erupting again.
Bone Dragon becomes more urgent.
Meanwhile, the city walls are getting closer.
There it is.
All you have to do is go there.
‘Two more times.’
Rachiel glanced back and estimated the remaining distance. It seemed like two heat storm boosters(?) would be enough to get there. But until then, will we be able to maintain our distance without being caught by him?
‘It’s a little ambiguous.’
Bone Dragon’s reaction was faster than expected. Thanks to you, what if it stays like this? It seemed like I was going to catch up with the guy between the next eruption and leap.
If you are unlucky, you can hit the front foot in the air. It might look like a mayfly hit by a fly swatter.
‘That won’t work!’
Rakiel quickly moved his head and fired a heat blast. While my body was crossing the air, I squeezed out my fine hair at maximum power. And then I remembered. So I didn’t fire the next heat blast. Instead, he activated the Circle of Yongcheonhyeol.
Kiiiiing-! Thush!
The speed of the fall decreased along with the eruption of mana. Balanced. I landed. I felt a shock as if the crucible on both knees was declaring its annual leave and trying to escape from my body. I managed to endure it. Didn’t fall.
Instead, he lifted up the fountain pen he was holding. I swung with a full swing. With maximum force. Like throwing it far away.
Whoa!
-…!
The Bone Dragon, who was rushing towards us almost as if he could catch up with us, was startled. It came to a quick stop. I turned my head in the direction where I threw the fountain pen. I also turned my body. I reflexively ran towards that direction.
At that moment, Rakiel pointed the fountain pen, which he ‘just pretended to throw but did not actually throw’, at the ground.
“It’s fake!”
Two hit!
My whole body exploded with an extremely violent eruption. Bone Dragon, who had started charging in the opposite direction, was seen looking back in this direction, flinching in surprise.
The guy’s empty eyes were filled with absurd despair. I felt like someone who missed the last bus on the way to work. I waved the fountain pen in my hand at him. When he saw that the fountain pen he was only pretending to throw was in his hand, he roared.
– Nahaaaaa!
But the roar was already too late. The Bone Dragon, caught in a perfect reverse maneuver, tried to turn again and run in this direction, but the distance had widened significantly. Its roar merely scratched the air in vain.
Meanwhile, this side was rapidly approaching the city walls. No, it crashed.
“Your Majesty!”
The group that passed through the city gates was seen first. The Margrave and Sir Sergius Frandel were all up on the castle walls. And they were huddled together with their arms wide open towards us.
In other words, he was holding it to receive it.
“Move! “You humans!”
I shouted, but it was no use.
Because it was too late to stop their passionate loyalty to save this side.
Kwaaang-!
“Oops!”
Have you ever received a warm group hug from men like armor? Yes, I have received it. It was exhilarating because it felt like I was hit by a van.
It hurt.
The armor on this side and that side collided and my whole body rang. For a moment, my mind almost declared that I was running away from home. It was fortunate that I didn’t faint thanks to my poor mental skills.
“Huh huh! Beast… What about the Bone Dragon?”
Rachiel, who barely escaped fainting, hurriedly stood up. And I looked beyond the castle walls. I saw a bone dragon running towards me. The earth shook loudly. The distance quickly became closer.
My heart sank when I saw that.
‘what. What about the tabernacle? He said he was ready.’
It was a moment when I thought…
Saaaa…!
Holy light surged from the ground along the perimeter of the castle wall. Pure white? no. A transparent halo of light that cannot be expressed in color. Soaring like dancing. Floating. surrounded the castle walls. covered the city. As if a huge sparkling water droplet was placed over the city.
‘Is this the tabernacle?’
It seemed like that.
So, can this tabernacle stop the radioactive Bone Dragon? Almost at the same time as the question arose, the bone dragon slammed its entire body into the tabernacle.
…!
There was no sound or flash.
There were no explosions or vibrations.
Instead, the bone dragon flew out so naturally. It looked like a wild boar from the Ural Mountains running at full speed toward a parcel wrapped in 10,000 layers of bubble wrap, only to bounce off it.
– Hahaha?
Did Bone Dragon also feel something strange? The crooked guy shook his head and stood up. They rushed towards the tabernacle again.
But the result is the same.
The tabernacle repelled the bone dragon very naturally with its soft resistance and elasticity. Toong.
– Sigh! Nahaaak-!
As the successive charges were blocked, the Bone Dragon looked up and shouted something. It was a desperate cry that still made no sense. No, it would be more accurate to say that it somehow sounds sad.
But Rachiel no longer cared about Bone Dragon. This was because now that they had confirmed that the tabernacle was functioning properly, there was more urgent work to be done.
“Damian? Hey Damien!”
I took off the guy’s helmet.
Sweat-soaked hair and pale face. I was almost on the verge of fainting. It was natural. I must be going into hypoglycemic shock because I converted my blood sugar twice with the two-pronged mana heart and poured it all out.
Rakiel quickly searched through his backpack. Opened sealed wooden bottle. Highly concentrated honey was poured into Damien’s mouth.
“drink. hurry.”
“…kkuluk!”
“If you swallowed, take a deep breath.”
“Whew…”
While the guy was taking a deep breath, he took out another pocket. It was a bunch of thorns that I had already pulled out from Kosomi.
Tot!
The first hour hand position is the Cheonggunghyeol (聽宮穴) of the Water and Sun Small intestine Sutra. A depression behind the condylar process of the mandible in the direction from the ear hole to the face.
A thorn was pierced there 1 cun deep.
Tot!
Next is the Jichanghyeol (地倉穴) located 0.4 cun to the side of the corner of the mouth. A thorn was pierced to a depth of 3 pun into the constitutive acupoint of the foot and yangmyeong stomach meridian, also known as the stomach oil. I observed and drew for five breaths.
And then I massaged the guy’s neck hard. This was done by continuously injecting a small amount of mana using a vague technique.
Fortunately, the first aid was effective. Gradually, I could see his eyes returning to focus. The flow of energy and blood, which had been disturbed uneasily, became stable.
“Whew. “Are you out of your mind?”
“Yes, a little.”
“But he didn’t die.”
“That’s right.”
The two finally let out a sigh of relief and smiled. Meanwhile, quite a few people had gathered around the two. People kept looking at Rachiel and Damian and mulling over them. It’s them. They say they are knights who came to save our city.
Rachiel and Damian. And the people’s gazes towards the rest of the group were filled with emotion and respect. The look in the eyes of Breda Tennbach, the cavalry commander and mayor of Tennion City, who was approaching through the crowd of people, was also the same.
‘Where on earth did they come from?’
It was amazing.
It was respectable.
It was even more so when I thought back to the urgent and dizzying moments from earlier.
‘Not a single member of our cavalry, including myself, dared to come close to that monster…’
I remembered the time when the cavalry was charging towards the monster. A relentless sprint. However, as the distance narrowed, I suddenly felt the heat. Strange feeling of dizziness. A war horse that fell down with foam at the mouth because of unprecedented fear. A series of falling horses. Collision with the ground. The distant despair that had enveloped reason.
I thought we were all going to die like this.
He said he clenched his teeth as he sensed the end.
But then, did those people wearing mysterious armor suddenly appear? People who don’t seem to have any connection to the city. Nevertheless, brave heroes who sacrificed themselves to stop the monster and sacrifice themselves.
“Nice to meet you. “I am Breda Tenibach, mayor of this city.”
Mayor Breda politely greeted the mysterious knights. Then the knights, who were lying on the floor gasping for breath, stopped. We looked this way one after another.
The mayor spoke again to the person who seemed to be the representative among them.
“I have noticed your courage and bravery since a while ago. “You were the one who took the lead in the monster’s attack, used your wits to lure the monster, and finally used yourself as bait to buy time for the others to escape.”
“….”
“So, in the name of the mayor who is in charge of this city, would you please show your brave face as the hero who saved this city?”
“…Is that okay?”
“Of course.”
The moment the question came back from the unique-looking helmet, the mayor smiled in satisfaction. This was because the voice of the opposing hero knight was that of a younger man than expected.
‘Then… maybe… if only I could have such a brave man as my subordinate…’
Secretly, hope bloomed.
It will become easier to overcome the disaster of an unprecedented monster. From now on, the city’s defense will be able to be strengthened. In particular, it will be easier to block and keep in check the forces of the Magentano Empire lurking beyond the border.
“If possible, I would like to express my gratitude by looking at your face. “Because that would be a fitting thank you to someone who displayed heroic bravery.”
“Yeah hoo. “Then what?”
The knight sighs.
A knight raising his hand to his helmet.
What kind of appearance does this person have?
If possible, it would be nice to give the impression of being devoted yet sturdy. That way, the hateful Magentano soldiers will be scared as soon as they see them. It will be much easier to show off your bravery.
So….
slap.
The knight took off his helmet.
Silver hair exposed, wet with sweat. A jawline that looks a bit far from stocky and blue eyes with a somewhat harsh look. And even his unique, bitter smile that he reluctantly puts on.
It was a face I somehow knew.
It had to be that way.
Magentano, a potential enemy country.
I have memorized the faces of the emperor, the crown prince, and other important figures so well that I can guess them even when I wake up.
“….”
So is this what I see?
It was a moment when the mayor had serious doubts about the performance of his own eyes. Rachiel greeted sweetly and expanded the scope of his doubts to include hearing.
“Nice to meet you. I am Raquiel Adria Magentano, Crown Prince of Magentano.”
“…Det?”
