The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine

The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 211

Episode 211 Sacrifice of Others (1)

Boom!

“…!”

Cartu opened his eyes wide.

There was no scream. Something came into my body. I definitely absorbed it from the crown prince. It doesn’t seem to be the vitality I was aiming for.

If the life force had been properly absorbed, such a mind-numbing shock wouldn’t have hit the inside. Because there is no way you can feel the pain that feels like the blood vessels in your entire body are on fire.

‘Gagging!’

A silent groan of pain came out of Cartu’s wide open mouth.

What about Rachiel who saw that?

I clenched my fists.

‘done!’

Operation successful.

Everything went as expected.

The situation from earlier suddenly came to mind. An attempt was made to subdue the warlock’s den. I realized the deception and trap. The warlock who guarded the lair itself was a fake. It was belatedly realized that the main force of the undead army was attacking Kranos.

It was from then on. During the rapid retreat to Kranos, a new strategy was planned on the spot. It was a plan, a big picture, and a strategy to defeat the warlock Kartu who deceived everyone.

As soon as I returned to Kranos, I sent the Orc warriors flying. We bought time by defending the castle walls and raided the rear of the undead army. attempted to break through.

I tried the invisibility spell. By shaking Cartu’s mentality with the K-taste thorn, he severed the command link with the undead army. We succeeded in breaking down the defense line.

Cartu was driven out by orc warriors. Cartu responded and accurately predicted the magic to use. With an appropriate response, I cornered him. As expected, he pulled out the conversion card.

That was the life force absorption magic.

‘It was like that in the novel Demon Sword Emperor. Whenever he was cornered, he used life force absorption.’

Cartu, who appeared in Demon Sword Emperor, had two representative main spells. One was the wide-range ghost game that had previously terrified the orcs.

And another thing was the absorption of vitality. He mercilessly robbed the life force of every single object he touched. It was a vicious magic that neutralized the enemy, filled his life force, and brought despair.

‘I thought that if the ghost game was blocked and the orcs were driven into a group attack, life force absorption would definitely be activated.’

It was as expected. The next thing he did was the same. I thought it was going to target me. Because he is the actual supreme commander of the punitive force. It was a natural guess, and he could not escape the scope of that guess.

So it was.

I accepted his attack and pretended to resist. I pretended to fight back to the best of my abilities. I was told to avoid all other magic it used and to use life force absorption.

And he was caught on purpose.

The finale we had planned with all these plans in place. It was to deliver the final, fatal blow.

‘Like the day I confronted the 2nd prince. ‘I used the momentum of your life force absorption with my shabby mind techniques.’

Just like sending an alcohol bomb to the 2nd prince’s absorption ability. A nitrogen bomb was packed into Cartu’s absorption capacity and sent.

The principle was simple.

Applied breathing. Every time I took a breath, I stored the air in the first circle slot. Afterwards, only the nitrogen in the air was separated. It was easy. About 78% of air is nitrogen. The separated nitrogen was packed tightly into the second circle slot. I sent it to Cartu in one cue.

As such, the big picture is drawn in several steps. We implemented it step by step and the successful result was the situation in front of us right now.

“…Gagging!”

An urgent scream burst from Cartu’s mouth. He looked at the crown prince with eyes filled with confusion and pain.

‘why?’

why?

Is my body suddenly like this?

I couldn’t understand it at all. What did he absorb from the crown prince? I couldn’t tell why I suddenly felt a burning pain in the veins of my entire body.

My heart sank.

A strange pain spreading throughout my body. The corners of the crown prince’s mouth turned towards him.

‘Fuck…fuck! ‘What have you done!’

Cartu’s whole body convulsed. The large amount of nitrogen he had suddenly absorbed from Rachiel spread throughout his body. It was an abnormal speed and amount. That caused the problem.

“big! “Kukkuk!”

Originally, the human body was able to sufficiently excrete the nitrogen absorbed into the body. But what if the amount suddenly increases? Nitrogen bubbles are created throughout the body. Like a carbonated drink that was carelessly opened right after being vigorously shaken.

“…Kayuk! Argh!”

It was a severe, acute diver decompression illness.

The nitrogen bubbles generated in large quantities destroyed the entire body’s cellular tissue from within. Extreme pain dominated Cartu’s every nerve.

The black thorn I tasted earlier? There was no comparison. Because the thorn was simply painful. On the other hand, it was different now. In fact, the pain of massive destruction and melting of tissues in the body was overwhelming.

“…Sigh! Hehehe? big!”

The first cause of suffering was type 1 decompression sickness.

Massive air bubbles were created in all of Cartu’s skin, muscles and bones. Along with the crushing pain inflicted on my joints and soft bones, pain as if the skin of my entire body was being torn apart by a knife and extreme itching occurred at the same time.

Unfortunately, the symptoms didn’t end there. Following type 1 decompression sickness, in which external tissue unrelated to life is damaged, a torrent of type 2 decompression sickness, in which nitrogen bubbles invade vital organs, hit Cartu.

Boom!

Massive amounts of microscopic nitrogen bubbles invaded heart muscle cells. My muscles twitched and my heartbeat suddenly became irregular. The excruciating chest pain constricted my lungs. Bronchial spasm caused by acute respiratory distress.

Aural pressure myelitis shook my nerves. A strange sensation invaded my lower body and the skin below my ankles. I had trouble urinating, my underwear got wet, and the temperature sensation in my legs went wild, causing one leg to feel like it was on fire and the other to feel like it was freezing.

But even more unfortunately, it didn’t end there.

‘…that guy!’

The worst type of decompression sickness had progressed, with symptoms affecting the brain. A bruise (racoon eye sign) appeared on Cartu’s eyeball. A large amount of blood clots generated by nitrogen bubbles caused symptoms of cerebral infarction. I felt dizzy, had a headache, and felt nauseous.

In other words, every part of Cartu’s body was steadily and surely destroyed. The inevitable shadow of death from within covered him.

But Cartu also did not just suffer.

‘Do something… have to…!’

A confused mind.

A soaring sense of crisis.

In that situation, Cartu responded instinctively. I reflexively used basic magic that I had practiced and honed countless times. It was the most useful basic recovery magic in an emergency.

…Tspapat!

I made the hand sign with both trembling hands. I succeeded with great difficulty… I almost succeeded, but I failed. The reason was simple. This was because my arm was suddenly grabbed by an extended grip.

Teotuk!

“…!”

I raised my head with a sinking heart. It was finally visible. The crown prince stretched out his hand and grabbed his forearm. Thanks to you… the seal of recovery magic that had been barely formed was broken!

‘Oh, no! ‘You devil!’

In my dazed mind, I cursed. But it was no use. What came in response to the insults fired from my heart was a punch from the crown prince.

Wow!

“…Oof!”

My head turned. But I don’t feel anything. Thankfully, the defensive magic still wasn’t broken. But it will only be a matter of time. Cartu fell into a definite sense of despair as he looked at the gang(?) that had completely surrounded him.

“Nuuu! Purr!”

The shadow of a huge Minotaur covered the entire body. That wasn’t all.

“Are we ready to pay the price for turning our family and friends into zombies?”

An orc warrior who appeared to be a chief approached with all his muscles flexing. Next to him, the crown prince’s black-haired bodyguard was silently holding the hilt of his sword, his eyes flashing.

In addition to that….

“…Whoa!”

The deadly howl of a werewolf running from somewhere. Numerous Orc warriors rushed forward, responding with roar-like cries.

A helpless laugh escaped Cartu’s mouth when he realized the situation.

“Ha haha….”

There’s no way left to live now.

No matter how much you endure with defensive magic, you won’t be able to last more than a few minutes. No, I think I will collapse before these unknown symptoms and pain.

Cartu, half in despair, collapsed on the floor. No, my legs gave out. I barely raised my head. Dizziness where two objects appear overlapping due to sudden onset of double vision. In the midst of all this, he managed to cast his gaze towards the crown prince.

“What… have you… done… to me?”

I barely asked in a hoarse voice as I was panting due to shortness of breath and chest pain. The crown prince responded as if it was no big deal.

“I gave you a gift. Thank goodness. “Because they overused absorption magic.”

“Excessive hair…?”

“I have no intention of even explaining it.”

“…Damn it.”

Cartu was furious. I was frustrated. It was a pity that his grand dream had to come to an end here.

“Inferior… foolish things… dare… not even know my noble meaning…”

“Noble meaning? Are you talking about an ideal society run by the labor of the undead?”

“…!”

How did you know that?

Cartu was surprised. It had to be that way. Because I haven’t revealed it to anyone yet. But how does the crown prince know that?

Of course, Rachiel had no intention of explaining the details. What would be the point if I told him that I knew that because I read the novel Demon Sword Emperor?

Instead, he laughed at the warlock.

“okay. okay. A society that relies on the labor provided by the bodies of the dead. Living people will be that much more convenient. You will be free from difficult and cumbersome labor. But that’s it. “Is human life really that rational?”

“what…?”

“It catches you at first glance. It feels very reasonable. But that’s it. What if the bodies providing labor were my parents? What if your child, sibling or spouse, sadly closes his eyes first? “How many people would readily accept that?”

“So… you’re saying things like that because you’re feeling like a fool… you’re…”

“Foolish? that’s right.”

Kartu grits his teeth and tries to answer. Rakiel resolutely cut off the warlock’s waist.

“Like you said, he could be just a fool or a whiner. But what should I do? “I don’t like that.”

“what…?”

“I don’t like it.”

“Why… is there a good reason…”

“Is there any? Of course there is.”

Rakiel shrugged his shoulders and spoke honestly.

“For such a society to be built, my rice bowl must first be broken.”

“….”

“The kind of society you want will be achieved only when the Magentano imperial family and empire fall. Why do I allow that?”

Of course. It’s really obvious. No matter how ideal the society is, it is not more important than my food plate.

There were no more grandiose or pedantic reasons. Right or wrong? It doesn’t matter. As such, Rakiel made a direct and thoroughly selfish(?) remark.

“So just give up.”

“…!”

There was nothing more to say. Cartu’s shaking eyes are looking up with difficulty. I put that behind me and stood up calmly. I turned around. I entrusted the party to deal with him.

“Nuuuuuu-!”

Urus roared fiercely. Damian drew his sword. Brash flexed his muscles and werewolf Anise bared her fangs.

In front of him, Cartu collapsed. Finally, he lost consciousness due to a cerebral infarction that progressed gradually. At the same time, I felt it with my whole body.

‘Now I…’

It’s over.

Death has become inevitable.

I was frustrated. It was unfair. I was angry. So it was. A dangerous thought slowly came to mind.

‘I don’t want to die alone…’

You’re going to die anyway. What if everyone here dies together?

…Crack!

A dangerous kind of light appeared in Cartu’s eyes, which had been blurring.
