The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 400
Episode 400. Even if you are crushed and knocked down (2)
[The rapid growth of your mind is bringing amazing changes to your body, which was reconstructed through death and resurrection by the Dragon King Berkis.]
“….”
What does that print mean?
What is the meaning that fills my eyes trying to convey? Is he trying to awaken his blurred consciousness? Is he trying to finally push up his closed eyelids? I don’t know. It’s just annoying. Annoying. So, without realizing it, a bit of a wry smile comes out. Uselessly. I can’t help it.
‘I wanted to collapse like this.’
Rakiel raised his gaze and expressed his honest feelings. Blurred eyes. Eyes that have lost focus and only the longing for rest remains. I resisted the persistent temptation of instinct. I barely suppressed my desire to collapse and rest and straightened my eyes.
Finally, I could clearly see the content of the message that appeared before my eyes.
[The level of Dizzy Mind Technique has increased.]
[Skill Name: Dizzy Mind Technique]
[Level: Quad Circle Lv.1]
‘Huh?’
The fatigue disappeared. At least it felt that way. A quad circle. I?
‘Before, double circle… I was at a level between 7 and 8.’
However, I jumped a dozen steps. Without even realizing it. While I was trying hard to hold on just to not collapse like this. Without even realizing it. Like a gift. Or like a sprout that sticks out its head overnight. As if it contained unexpected hope. like that.
[The ‘grade’ of the Assassin’s Heart technique has increased.]
[Double -〉Quad]
[Absorbs surrounding mana more efficiently than before. The absorbed mana is processed/amplified between the two circles around the heart and the two circles of Yongcheonhyeol. As the number of circles increases, the amplification rate increases significantly.]
“….”
It’s not a lie.
It’s also not an illusion.
However, the location of the newly created two-pronged circle was a bit unexpected.
‘Yongcheonhyeol? ‘Are you saying there was a circle there?’
It was a moment when I asked myself.
…Keeeeeeee!
The two-pronged circle on my chest opened my tired eyes. The roar of an animal that has suffered from abuse. But the cry shouts that it has not yet fallen.
Then, a flash of response appeared from the Yongcheon acupoints beneath both feet.
Kiaaaagh-!
“…!”
One branch from each side of Yongcheonhyeol. Two new circles responded like beasts. Heart and feet. A high-density mana network connecting them was rapidly created. They stretched out their hands towards each other. We caught up. Face to face. In response. react. It resonated.
Kwa-ga-ga-ga-ga-!
‘…sigh?’
An explosive pressure of mana that I had never felt before rushed through my entire body. It was dizzying. It felt like my veins were about to explode. A feeling as if hundreds of red tomatoes are running through your blood vessels. It looks like it’s going to explode at this rate. But strangely enough, I wasn’t afraid. So, I feel like my heart is beating violently without me even realizing it.
That feeling was also not an illusion.
[Mana amplification rate: 1200%]
“….”
A ridiculous number appeared before my eyes. While I was staring at it blankly, the message that followed continued to present information one after another, as if trampling on my perception and perception.
[Skill exclusive options ① Circle slot / ② Impossible to destroy / ③ HP conversion / ④ Predator’s instinct]
[HP required for next level up: 8000]
[Currently possessed HP: 26700]
[Circle you possess according to the growth of Asurahan Heart technique Slots were also affected.]
[However, since a new circle has not been created in the chest, there is no additional opening of circle slots.] [
Instead, in response to the increased amplification efficiency of the circle, the capacity of existing open circle slots has been greatly increased. increases.]
[The maximum capacity of slot 1 has increased: 50 liters]
[The maximum capacity of slot 2 has increased: 50 liters]
‘I….’
Did I really get all of this?
Rachiel raised her head, half in wonder and half in anticipation. I put my hands on my knees. The weight of the shielding armor remains. The pressure of a lead block. The heat inside the armor that couldn’t escape. I got up from there.
And then he focused his senses towards the two circles of Dragon Heavenly Blood that he had just obtained.
Kiaaaagh-!
The two circles of Yongcheonhyeol cry out even louder, as if announcing the roar of birth. As if responding to him, the two circles in his chest also cried out. My heart was pounding. As I ran, an unprecedented new strength rose. Each cell opened its eyes as if announcing its second birth.
“…sigh!”
Hold the breath you took in. He holds on to me as if asking me to give him strength. My stomach is tense. The muscles of the whole body condense. Finally, both legs lightly hit the ground as if testing.
A sense of liberation that immediately greets you.
Two hit!
flew. No, it was shot. In an instant, the landscape of the world changed from plane to line. At least, that was definitely the illusion. It was a rush that exceeded expectations.
“Tsk!”
I was a bit surprised and quickly regained my balance. The body reacted surprisingly quickly. The speed of nerve reflexes exceeds one’s own perception. Determine your own balance, complete fine adjustments to your muscles, and even land with minimal stress on your joints.
Let’s go! Phew….
“….”
A high-speed dash of 10 meters, almost like instantaneous movement. Until the sharp landing that followed. Rachiel’s eyes widened as she caught the fierce dust she had raised on her back. And I thought.
‘What did I just do?’
I couldn’t believe it.
Originally, I had no intention of opening the circle to Yongcheonhyeol. He had only trained to give an example to the people of the poor family to encourage them.
It was an obvious choice at the time.
It was because of efficiency.
If you want to open a new circle, join together in your heart where existing things are gathered. Only then will the synergy of amplification be greater.
That was common sense. It was standard. No one has ever deviated from that path. That was because there was no reason to do so.
So, while he fitted the circles to the Yongcheonhyeol of the Asurahan family members, he also felt sorry for them on the inside. These are people who have no choice but to choose shortcuts that are less efficient. On the one hand, I feel sorry. I just hope that this will relieve the pain in my chest.
I thought so.
I just thought it was an inefficient method.
‘…It wasn’t.’
That thought was wrong.
I was finally able to realize it.
‘If several circles gather on the chest… of course the amplification rate is good. The amplification speed is also fast. Because the distance between circles is close. But when I actually attached the circle to Yongcheonhyeol, it was a little different.’
I felt an unexpected advantage.
The body’s activity level has changed.
The reason was simple.
‘Chest and Yongcheonhyeol. A new path for mana has been created between the circles created in two places. It’s also incredibly solid and straight. Almost like a highway…’
That mana network was awakening all the surrounding nerves and blood vessels. Each organelle of muscle and joint cells woke up one by one, showing a different level of activation. Thanks to this, I felt that the coordination endurance of nerves and muscles, as well as the physiological recovery ability, increased dramatically.
“…crazy.”
I burst into laughter without realizing it. Now that I think about it, the shielding armor no longer feels as burdensome as before. It’s still heavy, but I guess it’s enough to handle. Now I have some hope that I won’t be a burden.
“majesty?”
Was he surprised by the sudden high-speed movement here? Damian hurriedly approached and called out. Soon after, the Margrave and the rest of the party also came running, their shielding armor clanking.
“Surely… Your Majesty also realized the two-foot circle?”
“Hmm. maybe.”
He nodded calmly in response to the Margrave’s question. It was impossible to see the Margrave’s expression hidden behind his helmet. Nevertheless, he showed signs of surprise all over his body.
“Then, the method of movement you just showed….”
“If you practice, you too will be able to do it.”
It was from then on.
The movement speed of the pursuit team has changed. This was thanks to the lighter steps on this side. Of course, I laughed secretly at that fact.
‘also. Everyone was moving according to my pace.’
So far, this side has been struggling so much. I stumbled. Because it was difficult. Everyone in the pursuit team was worried about this person and were supporting them and keeping pace. I knew it deep down, but it was true that I felt a bit embarrassed when I actually confirmed it.
But the important thing is that it is no longer such a nuisance. It is even more important that the distance to the pleural effusion can be narrowed more efficiently.
Everyone, including Rakiel, continued to chase at a steady pace. In the meantime, numerous scenes passed by the pursuit party. A plain full of burn marks. A yellow, dried forest. Unlucky corpses and corpses. Families and lovers who died while embracing each other. Traces of endless destruction and sadness.
Eventually, the chase team arrived at the border in the early morning after persistent raindrops had fallen all night.
“majesty. “The traces of the beast… continue beyond the border.”
The Margrave’s voice coming from inside the helmet was more solemn than ever before. From what I can tell, he is glaring across the border with an angry look inside his helmet.
“I think I’ll have to turn my back from here.”
The Margrave’s opinion was reasonable.
Outside the border is literally a foreign country. Moreover, this is not just a city affairs party, but a group of the crown prince of the empire and the important people who serve him. They are literally on a different scale from the impact that illegal border crossing can have.
But Rakiel spoke as if it didn’t matter.
“We will move forward like this.”
“…yes?”
“I will take responsibility for what happens next, so don’t ask me any more questions.”
This is not a matter between countries. It is a disaster on a scale that transcends borders. Moreover, there are two clear reasons to pursue the beast to the end.
“One reason. If we let the beast go like this, there is no guarantee that it won’t cross over to our border again. At that point, it may become more difficult to block. It will be difficult to predict which direction it will fall into. “It will be difficult to prepare for it.”
“After listening to what you said, it makes sense. The second reason is…”
“The Kingdom of Harmion beyond the border. “We need to check whether the evil beast was instigated by them.”
“ah…!”
The Margrave was impressed without even realizing it. I hadn’t even thought about it that far. What if the beast that crossed the border returned after completing its mission to devastate the border area of this empire? I thought it was quite possible.
“So now is not the time to hesitate. It goes like this. Advance.”
Everyone walked away without saying a word.
We crossed the border in silence, wading through the bodies of murdered border guards. I must have walked for about 10 minutes. The small border fortress of Harmion across the street was also in ruins.
But everyone thought that could not resolve suspicions about Harmion. If there are people tasked with massacring hundreds or thousands of people in other countries, wouldn’t they be able to use dozens of people in their own country as scapegoats for disguise?
no. Humans are not such gentle beings.
Everyone walked forward with the sad hypothesis engraved on their retinas. Following the traces of the brute force that continued. Along the endless road of ruins. The more I walk, the more I nourish my desire for revenge. I walked and walked again and again, using the wet muddy road and crumbled charcoal as my friend.
And it has been four days since we crossed the border.
Rachiel and the chase team finally left the edge of the forest and entered the open plains, where they were able to witness an unexpected sight.
ridge! ridge! ridge! ridge! ridge!
The sound of battlefield drums echoing deep in the heart. A heavy horn announcing an assault. The castle gate was tightly closed. Tennion, the central city of Tennier, the northwestern border region of Harmion. Waves of defenders lined up on the high walls.
And the interceptor cavalry charges in with the spear swords raised to protect the city.
Doo doo doo doo!
Where the cavalry’s desperate charge is headed.
A strange figure stood there.
The moment you see it.
Ding dong!
[WARNING!]
[A core of fissile material exceeding the critical mass required for a nuclear chain reaction is detected nearby. warning! warning! We strongly recommend that you quickly move away from the core to prevent radiation exposure!]
I realized this as soon as I saw it.
A strange figure standing there. An eerie figure from behind, as if covered in a layer of heated mirage.
That guy is a beast.
