Chapter 213
The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 213
Episode 213 Sacrifice of Others (3)
Everything is over. It was hard, but I did it. From now on, it will be a time of tidying up, which is boring but requires delicacy.
‘What should I do with all these undead?’
As Rachiel passed by the battlefield, she unconsciously frowned slightly. Now that I’ve finally taken care of the warlock, rather than feeling relieved, my solar plexus feels clogged with frustration. This was because of the undead roaming the plains outside the walls of Kranos City.
“Gooooh, bake….”
These people were once alive, smiling and sharing love. However, now that he had lost his leader, the warlock, he was just wandering around the battlefield with unfocused eyes. chest voice? It didn’t explode. Just walking slowly, making meaningless groans.
Thanks to this, they are now almost harmless(?) just by existing. However, the biggest problem is that the number exceeds 2,000.
‘I guess it’s a bit… right to leave all those zombies alone.’
Hygiene was the biggest issue more than any other problem. What if those zombies wander around the city for days on end with their rotting bodies? That alone is enough to spread all kinds of germs around the city.
Moreover, if you think about it, most of them were once citizens of Kranos. This means that there are family and friends inside the walls.
‘It would be better to gather them all in one place and give them a cremation. That way, the bereaved family will also get some comfort.’
Of course, it would not be easy to gently collect and cremate more than 2,000 dead bodies, even walking ones. But it’s much better than leaving it alone.
‘It’s going to get busier from now on.’
The fatigue that I had forgotten for a while flowed out in a sigh. To be honest, I wanted to take a hot shower right away, lie down on the sofa, play Netflix, and then fall asleep. Of course, the biggest problem is that it is impossible.
“First of all, we have to deal with the problem quickly. Isn’t that right, Sergio?”
“Yes, Your Highness. “I was really hectic today.”
Sergio, the oldest member of the Special Forces, nods his head in response to our question. The once veteran gladiator smiled as he smoothed his rough beard.
“I was really dizzy when I found out that the entire warlock’s lair was a trap and bait.”
“I guess so.”
“yes. To be honest, I thought Kranos had fallen.”
“If that were the case, it would have been a big problem. “Because all the citizens would have suffered.”
“Yes, Your Highness. “I’m so glad I didn’t.”
Sergius looked back at his lord, the crown prince, with meaningful eyes. I felt a new sense of respect.
He was sure. All these victories belong to the crown prince. I don’t know anything else, but that fact is certain. If you think about it, the person who was the first to see through the warlock’s trick earlier and who ordered a rapid retreat to Kranos was also the crown prince.
That wasn’t all. Even after returning to Kranos, the crown prince controlled all situations and trends on the battlefield according to his will and will. I watched it all from the side. Even now, when I look back on the process… I felt like I was filled with both shivers and goosebumps.
‘Perhaps I have come to serve a great person who will be etched in history.’
Sergius secretly pondered the new emotion. Perhaps your guess is correct. Because the crown prince is by no means an ordinary person. If he grows up like this, he will definitely be reborn as a person who will brighten the history of the empire.
‘I was just rotting in an underground gladiatorial arena… heh heh heh heh.’
Who would have known that I would become successful like this?
A new sense of emotion and pride arose. He pledged to serve and protect the crown prince even more well in the future. It was in the meantime.
“…uh? “What is that?”
The special forces officer nearby pointed somewhere. What is it? Sergio reflexively cast his gaze toward the direction his colleague was pointing to.
There was a zombie there.
It was a zombie with nothing special.
It was just half-rotten, dripping with ooze and making meaningless moans… At least from the outside, it looked like the typical, average zombie.
But his behavior was a bit unusual.
“That guy suddenly started shaking all over?”
“Started shaking? “Wasn’t it like that a little while ago?”
“yes. “I just started doing that.”
“….”
Sergio glanced at the zombie with new eyes. As expected, just as my colleague said, the zombie was violently shaking its entire body. No, he was shaking his arms and legs randomly in place. The momentum was quite deformed and bizarre. Wouldn’t it be like he’s throwing a fit and running towards me?
“Everyone be on guard.”
Since it is a few tens of meters away, it would not be very dangerous. Even if an ordinary zombie were to attack by surprise, it wouldn’t be able to break through this strong defense. However, there is nothing to lose by being cautious.
Serge decided so and made the line of special forces who were walking together around the crown prince slightly denser.
That small decision saved the crown prince’s life.
…Whoa?
The explosion of the zombie, which had been falling all over, happened in an instant. The trembling muscles contracted rapidly. The mana made up of black magic exerted an enormous instantaneous power of attraction. The entire body of the zombie gathered towards ‘one point’. It was crowded. Shrinked and compressed. The energy condensed in an instant was released explosively through black magic.
It was a surprise explosion of corpses.
Whoosh-!
A sudden, violent explosion occurred tens of meters away. There was only one zombie that exploded first. However, there were zombies alongside him. The number reached about 20. The momentum of the first explosion hit the remaining 20 zombies.
A series of explosions occurred.
…To chemistry!
The first thing that hit the group was the shock wave of a wall of compressed air pushed by the force of the explosion. The shock wave that flew past the speed of sound struck the special forces.
However, at that moment, the special forces were already responding. That was because I was watching the trembling zombies. That’s why everyone saw the zombie explosion with their own eyes.
They reacted at the same time. Having lived as a gladiator for a long time, the instinct to overcome the dangers of life at any moment was displayed.
“…!”
No one could properly hear who was shouting what. Nevertheless, everyone clearly understood the meaning of the cry.
Protect your Majesty.
Everyone moved in unison with the same will. The special forces members on the side facing the shock wave did not flinch. Rather, they tried to hold on using their shields and weapons. In this way, a wall of people was built to filter out the first shock.
The special forces on the other side all rushed towards the crown prince. The crown prince was captured. pressed down to the ground. The touch was extremely urgent, rough, rude, and cruel. However, thanks to this, the crown prince was able to fall to the ground without any time to resist.
“…Tsk!”
At that moment, Rachiel saw.
Special forces soldiers who push themselves down. Special forces rushing in. Everyone was covering themselves with their bodies. I saw Sergio’s urgent gaze. For a moment, our eyes met. Is that the look in the eyes of someone who is prepared to die? I got goosebumps.
What followed was a terrible shock.
…!
Sound, flash, vibration.
I couldn’t feel anything.
Everything just went dark and all the sounds in the world disappeared. It felt like I had been thrown into a drum filled with huge screams and shouts. The feeling of the drum rolling dozens of times every second, turning the sky and the earth upside down and mixing them up.
A battle of darkness and flash of light.
A pact between screams and silence.
What came at the end was tinnitus ringing loudly in my ears.
“…Ugh.”
Rakiel barely raised his head. No, did he even raise his head? Even though I opened my eyes, I couldn’t see anything. It felt like hundreds of sparkling fireflies were released in a haphazard manner before my eyes.
Nothing could be heard properly. Only a faint beeping sound was barely able to indicate the presence of hearing.
I shook my head.
I touched the ground.
There was no feeling of being touched.
The sensation was horrifyingly unfamiliar. I got scared. Did I survive? What about the others? What about Sergio? What about the special forces?
‘Everyone…’
Is it okay?
Just as I was barely able to remember that thought, my senses suddenly came back to life. The first sensation that came to me was pain.
“…big?”
All my joints ached. No, it felt like nailing a broken bone without anesthesia. It felt as if my whole body had been crushed by a hammer tens of meters in size. Even the scream didn’t come out properly.
However, Rachiel did not relax her grip on the floor. The pain was familiar. Is it because he was stabbing himself with black thorns? Instead, I widened my eyes. It was only when I became aware of the feeling of the corners of my eyes trembling that I was finally able to fully see the situation around me.
The first thing I saw was a phantom species of Bbook lying on the floor. It was dead with its distinctive wide fins wide open and its eyes closed.
Behind it, I could see people who had collapsed between Bbobok and this side. They were special forces members who used shields to block the impact. Has everyone lost consciousness? It didn’t move.
Lastly, there was Sergio, who had passed out right next to him.
“….”
He held out his hand. I touched the back of Sergio’s neck. I felt a faint pulse. didn’t die I felt relieved. I stuttered and crawled. The others looked at each other in turn. Fortunately, no one died except that everyone fainted from dealing with the great shock.
I was finally able to realize the situation.
‘Everyone threw themselves into it to save me.’
Sergio and the special forces were pressing down on this side and covering it with their bodies. They saved me.
The same was true for the fantastic Bboboki. Everyone took the lead and took the shock and explosion without even realizing it. And then died. Thanks to this, it served as a breakwater to initially block the shock, and it probably only caused the special forces members to faint.
Ding dong!
[Immortal Bboboki has the skill ‘Resurrection! (Lv. 1)] [Casts 〉.]
[1 stack of Immortal Bokgi Bbobok’s gigantism has been accumulated.]
“…Bobbo!”
Bboboki’s squinted eyes opened brightly. The tattered fin was restored and the flame was revived. My heart, which had been pounding for a moment, was relieved.
It was around that time that Damian ran towards me at a hurried pace.
“majesty!”
The guy looked here with bewildered eyes.
“Are you okay? “First, let’s take you to a safe place.”
“no.”
Rakiel shook his head.
“There is no safe place here now.”
“…yes?”
Damian felt puzzled. What is the crown prince trying to say? Maybe you hurt your head? Just as the black-haired escort was about to think of such a thought.
Rachiel gritted his teeth.
“It’s a mass corpse explosion.”
One chain explosion.
An unexpected shock.
Thanks to this, Rakiel clearly saw the situation and a wild smile appeared on his lips.
“…I end up making you use your hands directly with that cute rear end.”
Of course he knew exactly what to do in this situation.
