The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 136

Episode 136 Reverse blood magic attack (1)

It hurts.

It always hurt every time I opened my eyes. The struggle of birth. Blessed pain. I was always in pain, as if I was blaming the sun that poured down on the world but did not shine only on me.

Of course, I still am that way.

“….”

Damian lowered his head.

Focused on your own senses.

Pain arose from all channels through which mana flowed throughout the body. Aftereffects of a terrible shock. The flow of mana was completely congested as it blocked the Sword Master’s blow. But I thought it didn’t matter. Now is not the time to worry about trivial aftereffects.

Crash!

‘…I won’t go through the same thing this time.’

I ground my teeth. I promised. The same helplessness I experienced in Cremo. I will never feel that way again. I will not experience feelings of self-doubt and self-destruction.

So it was.

It was after the fierce battle with the Minotaur in Cremo. It was after I returned to the imperial palace as if nothing had happened. I spent time cutting my bones every day. Jininba’s swordsmanship was completely scratched. It was a day of training, pushing myself to my limits.

Of course, it wasn’t obvious on the outside. But I vomited blood every night. Until the whole body runs out of mana. And then one more step. The line of limitation was torn and crossed and abused secretly.

Then one day it was.

had an accident

I was so exhausted that I lost control of my mana. The mana that was flowing normally flowed backwards for an instant.

My heart sank. It was natural. Because mana reflux is an absolute taboo. This is the basic common sense that a child who first holds a sword and learns Mana exercises is taught first.

Mana should not flow back.

Backflowing mana brings uncontrollable power. The moment that power invades one’s Mana Heart, the Mana Heart cannot withstand and breaks. Nine times out of ten you will die. You have to be very lucky to survive, but instead you become a wreck and have to eat only porridge served by others for the rest of your life.

That’s how I learned it myself.

It was the teachings of a veteran gladiator who taught him the crude Manasim method when he first entered the gladiatorial arena and did not even know how to properly hold a sword. Of course, he could not last even six months and died lonely and nameless in a corner of the gladiatorial arena, but the teachings he taught still remained in my heart.

It was thanks to that.

The moment I became aware of the unintended backflow of mana, I was horrified. I quickly controlled the flow of mana. Fortunately, we were able to return the mana flow to normal before it was too late. But I was worried. I was concerned about the aftereffects.

– You idiot. I said it. Mana should not flow back even for a moment. That alone will make you sick for at least a few days. Do you think someone here will take care of someone like you if he behaves like that? In a gladiatorial arena like this? So, come to your senses. Don’t lose your mind and fall down like a fool.

A rough voice that suddenly came to mind knocked on a drawer in my memory. Yes. aftereffect. Although it was only for a moment, I lost control of my mana. Mana flowed back for a moment. I was worried because of that.

These days, His Royal Highness is busy treating Princess Amboise’s gallstones. I need to protect my side that much. If I were to remain sick due to the aftereffects like this, there would be a gap in the escort service. Should I ask the rest of the special forces to take good care of me?

But something unexpected happened.

There were no aftereffects.

There was nothing at all.

I didn’t feel sick, dizzy, or even have minor muscle pain. It was just as if nothing had happened. It was different from what he knew. It was strange and amazing.

Has it been since then?

‘Mana’s retrograde….’

Oh my gosh…!

Damian focused on his mana heart. The proud flow of mana contained within it. There was little interference in that direction. I caught the stream of mana that was trying to flow normally. I returned it. slowly. Carefully. But without hesitation. started to reverse.

Quag play!

Mana began to retrograde and amplify. It hurt. To a terrible degree. But it didn’t stop. Just like I had been trying a little bit every day since I realized that there were no aftereffects after my first accidental mana regression. Going further, to a level that has never been attempted before.

Damian pushed Mana’s reversal with the spirit of taking strides.

‘Is it okay?’

On the other hand, a bitter smile came out.

A body that does not suffer any aftereffects even if mana is reversed for a very brief period of time. I couldn’t figure out the reason myself. Moreover, there were still more unknown areas.

‘I haven’t experienced a full cycle of mana retrograde yet.’

Just a moment.

Just for a moment.

It’s just like closing your eyes once and then opening them.

That was the maximum duration of mana reversal he had ever tried. I’ve never tried anything more than that. I was scared and anxious. I didn’t have the confidence to handle what would happen if I reversed my mana for a longer period of time.

There was no need to do that.

‘I thought that a very brief mana reversal… and the power of the mana exploding in the meantime would be enough.’

With that alone, he was able to implement a sword strike that was 1.5 times the power he had originally produced. It was amazing. I wondered if this was my talent. So I was just satisfied with that level. It was definitely like that until now. Of course, until he faced the Sword Master and felt his limits again.

‘….’

1.5 times is not enough.

There is nothing wrong with a brief mana reversal.

I can only barely struggle to survive in front of the Sword Master. In the end, all I had to do was suffer the humiliation of losing my mind due to my ugly appearance.

‘So…’

Let’s go to the end.

Be bolder today.

Tearing the line of limitation.

Damian’s fists clenched tightly. His whole body gained strength. That’s how much mana retrograde became more active. All the mana in the body went against the natural order. He rejected the original instructions. The truth was destroyed and providence was trampled.

It soon became an unstoppable torrent.

…Kwaaaa-!

It came rushing in without hesitation. I broke down the barrier that blocked me. Like a torrent sweeping through a valley. Like a wave devouring the plains. Like a tsunami covering a mountain range. The arrogant flow of retrograde mana has become enormous. It became distant. I was pushed.

Toward Manahat.

The final step has been taken to complete the first complete retrograde.

…!

There was no sound.

There was no flash.

It was just dark.

Huge shock and division.

A distant cry that shatters the soul.

Is it a shock that breaks the mana heart as everyone says? Is this a terrible price to pay for going against the law? I didn’t even know if it was the mortal pain that would come at the end.

However, Damian had to look at it for just a moment.

…Excited.

An abyss as dark as the end of the beginning.

Something was pulsating within it.

heart?

I couldn’t figure it out.

It was just red and dark red. It pulsated infinitely slowly and massively. That distant wave was peeping at me. was smiling I was whispering something. whisper? It was like that. It was a whisper that was as scary as it was inevitable.

You are my seed thrown into the world.

The seed will eventually grow into a flame.

It will devour all creatures on this earth.

Only on that day will I swing at you and smile brightly.

‘….’

What bullshit.

Damian came to his senses. At the same time, I laughed bitterly. My first attempt at a complete reversal of mana. The shock brought on by an unreasonable attempt. I think I lost consciousness for a moment in that rush. So I guess I had a ridiculous dream for a moment.

‘Anyway, this is…’

The problem is that it hurts so much. The entire body’s blood vessels and mana heart, through which mana flowed, were in pain as if they were torn and broken at any moment. But it wasn’t torn. It didn’t even break. Instead, an unprecedented, rough wave that I felt for the first time was wrapping around my entire body.

It was a premonition of new power and a landscape presented by an unknown state. Damian grinned viciously as he felt the explosively amplifying flow of mana throughout his body. I opened my eyes and raised my head.

The world looked different. A fierce battle between the Kingdom Guard and the Rebel Guard, where the flames of the plains are burning here and there and they are chaotically intertwined. Even the sight of the endlessly rushing Javilon and the crown prince struggling to stop it.

The moment you see that image.

A distant roar echoed in Damian’s chest. This was the first time he attempted to reverse mana. It was a cry announcing the birth of a new way of thinking brought about by a dangerous and gigantic step.

♣

“Kaaaa!”

Javilon shouted.

His sword moved violently. Hit the target.

Kwaaang-!

“…Ugh!”

The target wavered. The ice cap’s cold shield was almost broken. Rakiel, who was holding on behind him, also stumbled. Before he knew it, his complexion had turned pale.

‘Is Damian there yet?’

He moved his eyes briefly. Damian is still out there. It was still crouching. There was no change. Did the spot where I got hit earlier hurt that much? Is that why it still can’t happen?

‘If you do this… I’m leaving!’

Rachiel became urgent.

This was a little different from the calculation. I knew Damian had been hit and knocked out, but I had no idea his recovery would take this long. So I was embarrassed. It was a big deal. I became increasingly anxious.

‘The time to activate the unsinkable option… is less than a minute left.’

He quickly looked at the timer floating in the corner of his eye. The indicated time is 27 seconds. It was the remaining activation time for ‘Impossible to be defeated’, a dedicated option for the Ashrahan Mindblast.

In other words, when that time is over?

It will not be able to withstand Javilon’s attack. Even if you block the attack with the ice cap, you will not be able to overcome the shock and will faint. Then it’s over. No matter how great the shabby mind is. No matter how much attack is predicted by acupuncture point scanning. Even if you endure like a zombie due to HP conversion.

‘If I pass out… it will be the end.’

gulp!

Mokuldae was shaking nervously. I looked at Damian again. It was still the same. A dark cloud filled my heart. This was different from what I expected. It was very different from the picture I drew when I boldly attempted to engage in a confrontation with Javilon’s aggro.

‘What do we do?’

In cold sweat flowing.

Breathing became increasingly rough before I knew it.

Rakiel desperately shook his head. I came up with a trick to turn this situation around. But the situation was not easy. Javilon also didn’t give us time to think about it.

“Where are you looking?”

“…!”

Toukwaang-!

Javilon’s sword strike became stronger. The perennial snow is also breathtaking. The moment he could barely hold on, Rakiel was able to realize the reason.

‘Jabilon is already getting his Auror back.’

It was certain.

A long sword that is being pulled back by the recoil after striking the ice cap. There was a faint flash of light on the blade of the sword. It was a flash that wasn’t there a moment ago. It was the harbinger of Aurors.

‘already?’

An auror that was activated using that guy’s headache as a routine. I thought I had gotten rid of the headache and erased the aura with my weak hand skill. But it seemed like he was already getting used to the lack of headache routine. That made it even more terrifying.

‘So you’re a genius after all.’

Suddenly, a certain mention in the novel Demon Sword Emperor came to mind. Did you say that all sword masters are geniuses? Did they say that anyone who is not a genius can never reach the level of a sword master?

I remember reading that part at the time and deploring it(?). After all, the realm of swords is also a field of arts and physical education that makes a living based on talent.

So….

‘Of course Javilon is a genius too. Thanks to this, I am recovering my aura much faster than I expected.’

It was certain.

I got goosebumps.

If he regains his auror completely, then it will be over.

‘Aurors… can’t be stopped even by ice.’

It can only be stopped by the same auror.

Knowing that made me even more desperate.

But there was no way out.

Tukwahak-!

“…Big!”

This time it was a stab. Somehow I reflexively blocked it. A crack appeared in the ice cap. Even my firm confidence was cracked. As Javilon looked at us, a fierce smile appeared on his face, as if he was certain of victory.

“Why are you doing that? “I can’t hold on any longer!”

The guy was now only attacking from the front. Perhaps it was because of his pride that he had been able to block attacks so well, but he rushed forward with the intention of crushing their defense with force and without any skill.

But… there’s nothing you can do.

It was dark.

‘I…’

I don’t want it to end here.

I just want to eat well and live well.

How did I end up in this situation?

It was that moment.

Ding dong!

[Sharp Mind Skill Option ②: The activation time for Invincibility has ended.]

“….”

To make matters worse.

I can’t hold on any longer.

That thought awakened my spirit like cold water. My heart sank. I suddenly became scared. When I came to, I found myself fighting against the Sword Master. I felt as if I was possessed by something and was later doused with cold water.

But… it was already a step taken.

It’s too late to throw me out now!

‘Damian! a little!’

Crack!

I ground my teeth. I lifted up the perpetual snow. Javilon is rushing in. The figure grew rapidly. It’s getting closer. Eyes staring in this direction. A smile steeped in madness. Even the rough breathing.

At that moment, it actually jumped forward.

Sigh!

If you can’t run away, counterattack.

‘As it happens, it happens!’

… I cried out with my heart. But it had an unexpected effect(?).

“What?”

Is this because so far they have only responded in turtle-zombie mode, focusing solely on defense? So maybe they didn’t expect that this side would launch a bold counterattack?

It seemed like that. Javilon, who was slashing with his sword, hesitated for a moment. I boldly charged into that gap. It pushed out as if it were powerfully breaking the ice cap.

Tukkeong-!

“…!”

I got a kick out of it!

The ice cap’s cold shield hit Javilon’s wrist. The guy’s swordsmanship wavered. I did it. Courage arose. But it was that moment.

“What a foolish move!”

Javilon’s wild cry. At the same time, something flashed before my eyes. I reflexively looked up. I had to see it at that moment.

“…uh?”

The aura was flashing. Javilon’s sword was engulfed in an eerie flash of light. It was a perfectly restored aura. The lightning was falling from overhead. I couldn’t avoid it. It was too fast for that. It was too close.

‘I…’

Is this coming to an end?

Belated realization. The realization that it is too late to turn back. Goosebumps finally creeping in. I reflexively raised the ice cap. I closed my eyes tightly, feeling hopeless that I would not be able to defend myself.

It was then.

Tukkuong-!

All of a sudden, a strong crashing sound came rushing in front of me. However, no shock was conveyed to the raised ice cap. It was strange. Could it be that he died before I even felt the shock?

Thinking about that, I narrowed my eyes.

Thanks to you, I had to watch it.

“….”

There was a sword sticking out. It was a sword that had been cut so badly that barely half of it remained. That shabby sword was blocking the long sword imbued with Javilon’s aura.

“What…”

Javilon’s wide eyes were also visible. I turned my gaze to follow the guy’s gaze.

Damian was there.

With a very calm face. With an expression as if nothing had happened. Damian was there, holding out a half-sword with one hand.

“how?”

Javilon muttered.

It seemed like he couldn’t understand the situation where his Auror was blocked by an ordinary sword. Because it is common sense that Aurors can only be stopped by Aurors. It could have been so.

But I… I know what this situation is.

It has to be that way.

‘Because something like this appeared in the novel Demon Sword Emperor.’

It occurred to me.

The content that had been locked away in a drawer in my memory was thrust into my face. That memory told me.

‘Reversa… the law of mind.’

The Demon Sword Emperor’s strongest and most vicious method.

The first characteristic of that mind.

It is a deceptive characteristic that allows one to surpass one’s own level and overwhelm those with higher level skills.

‘…lowest level.’

The moment I thought of that, I was struck by a distant sensation that could not be compared to the goosebumps I had felt from Javilon until now.
