The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 202
Episode 202 Trap within a trap (1)
‘Acupuncture point scanning!’
Kiiiiing-!
My eyes became sore. My perspective has changed. Range within 10 meters of line of sight. All moving objects inside were outlined. There were no exceptions. Because everyone has mana. Because that is the providence of nature.
‘Even zombies implanted with human orc black magic.’
Rachiel moved her eyes around and checked the status of today’s acupressure scanning activation. I’m satisfied with this. I felt confident. I think I can find enough. At least one warlock who hides himself and runs away.
‘He’s definitely going to use invisibility magic.’
Suddenly, the contents of the novel Demon Sword Emperor came to mind. In the story in the book, Kartu is a warlock who will later bring an army of death. This guy was extremely difficult to suppress, as was his crazy ideology and personality.
The trivia and scheming were no joke.
He was even skilled at running away.
This was especially true of invisibility magic.
‘I wasn’t just skilled at invisibility magic. There was mention of him reaching master level. In fact, Damian also had a hard time because of his invisibility magic.’
How to catch his invisibility magic?
A wizard of at least a similar level is required. That was almost the only method within universal common sense.
‘Other than that, it recklessly explodes and blows up the area where the invisibility guy is, causing wide-area damage.’
In fact, Damian subdued the guy that way. But now? I don’t have the means to do that. Damian, who was suppressing the warlock Cartu, was in an awakened state. It was a time when everything was being destroyed with the intention of destroying the world.
In other words, the warlock in the novel, Cartu, who tried to rule the world with a wave of death, was caught and destroyed by Damian, who was trying to destroy the world itself.
So what about now?
It was similar in that the warlock was in trouble.
‘The double trap I believed in has been broken. The ambushed undead army is being torn apart by Gigantopis, who appears out of nowhere. Orc armies are coming from all directions. ‘He must be thinking that this fight was wrong.’
That’s exactly why.
I heard it with full confidence.
That guy will definitely use invisibility and run away, no matter what.
‘And the direction he’s escaping is… south.’
Orc warriors are running from the north, west and east. The only loose route is south. In fact, it was a natural thing. Because I intentionally left only the south side empty to make it feel easy.
“So, little guy? “Over there on the southern mound!”
“Little girl!”
It indicated a route from the center of the battlefield to the southern mound. Kkosim twitched his plump arms and showed off a magnificent acceleration.
Popapapapapot!
I ran. The dusty wind of the battlefield blew my hair. In the meantime, I kept the acupuncture point scanning activated and carefully examined the guy’s expected escape route.
‘Just show it and hang it.’
No matter how much invisibility magic he uses, he will not be able to hide the movement of mana that naturally flows within his body. Because it wasn’t covered by invisibility magic in the first place.
So, if you use acupuncture point scanning, it will be easier to capture it. If you can see the movement of acupoints flowing in the shape of a person in the empty air, it will mean that you are a warlock using invisibility.
‘…but it’s not as easy as you think, is it?’
Is the search scope wider than expected?
It wasn’t.
It was because I was motion sick!
‘Oh no, I’m dying.’
As I was riding on the back of a wildly running cat and was busy looking back and forth and left and right instead of straight ahead, I naturally got very motion sick. But Rachiel did not give in. With my right hand, I firmly pressed the area 5 to 6 centimeters below the crease of my left wrist.
It was an inner tube acupuncture point of Sugwol Eumsim Circumcision that was slightly effective in controlling motion sickness.
‘Ugh, show me now. huh? If you catch me early, I’ll give you a hard hit!’
It was a moment when I looked harder with a wish in mind.
‘Hmm?’
Wiggle?
Something has been captured.
It was behind an ordinary rock on the road leading south from the battlefield. It looked like a place with no one around. However, an outline representing the movement of acupuncture points was displayed there.
It was the outline of a person walking slowly.
‘You caught it right?’
The corner of Rakiel’s mouth caught in his ear. However, he did not hastily provoke or pursue the warlock. If you touch it clumsily and it jumps, it will be a pain in the ass. We need to catch him right away so he doesn’t even think about running away without him knowing that we’ve caught him.
So it was.
Rakiel pretended not to have seen anything and ran past the warlock. And then he slowly reached out to the back of the saddle. The chubby spine of Kkosomi. Between the dense thorns. There was a long flagpole lying there as if to hide it.
I grabbed the flagpole. Pulled and stood. A 2.5-meter-long flagpole stood tall, and the red flag at the top waved vigorously.
That was a prearranged signal.
…seuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
Damian, Lord Frandel of the Special Forces, and the Royal Guards, who were in ambush in the southern area of the battlefield, moved secretly and quickly. They gathered near Rachiel, using crevices in rocks and bushes.
The moment they got into position.
“Kid! “Let’s go back!”
Rachiel shouted, pretending not to know anything. I reversed the direction of Kosomi’s charge. Pretending to run furiously as if heading back towards the battlefield… he ran straight towards the warlock who was in a state of invisibility. With the momentum to attack right now!
Thanks to this, Warlock Kartu was shocked.
‘…omg?’
Could it be that I got caught?
Even so, it was Cartu who was moving even more slowly as the crown prince riding a giant hedgehog was wandering nearby. For a moment, I thought about attacking the crown prince, but I refrained from doing so because I thought it would only expose my location.
But the crown prince’s hedgehog, who was returning to the battlefield, suddenly charged head-on.
‘Are you targeting me?’
…or not?’
I was confused.
Is he running towards me on purpose? Maybe I’m just confident in the route I’m just running without thinking about it. For an instant, I was intensely concerned about understanding the situation. The conclusion came quickly.
‘It must be a coincidence. ‘Prince, that guy is not a wizard, so he couldn’t have figured out my invisibility.’
Actually, that was natural.
It was his own invisibility magic that even a court wizard from the empire would barely be able to understand. So, like a cow walking backwards and then stepping on a mouse, it might just happen to run towards you.
‘Then you just pass by without knowing anything, right?’
After understanding the situation, my composure returned.
Cartu smiled and took five or six steps to the side. A crown prince who never dreamed that he would be here. I was planning to laugh at the foolish behavior he was just passing by.
‘Consider it a blessing not to be attacked.’
In fact, my teeth ground together.
The undead army that had been raised and kept hidden was destroyed. Just thinking about it made me roll my eyes. However, it was clear that if he could not control his anger and attacked the crown prince, he would not be able to guarantee his own safety in the end.
‘One day, I will definitely kill you and turn you into a zombie so that you can be my foot-wiping servant.’
I made a promise with red, bloodshot eyes.
Meanwhile, a giant hedgehog came running with fierce force. But somehow, even though it had moved a few steps to the side, it still felt like it was running towards me.
‘….’
Is it a coincidence?
I guess it’s because of my mood.
Cartu clicked his tongue inwardly. It seems that he had retreated to the point where the crown prince was turning. He took a few more steps to the side again.
‘Hurry and pass by. Get out quickly.’
He held back his swearing and waited for the crown prince and the giant hedgehog to pass by.
But….
“Kid! excuse me!”
The moment the distance from the giant hedgehog was less than 5 meters away, the crown prince suddenly shouted. It pointed exactly this way.
‘uh?’
me?
Cartu flinched.
At that moment, the hedgehog answered sternly.
“Little girl!”
Yes you!
A cry like…
At the same time, the giant hedgehog’s sharp side drifts in this direction so naturally!
Tukwakwakwakwa-!
“…!”
It seemed like he was just going to pass by, but then he made a sudden and sudden change of direction! Thanks to this, Kosomi’s entire chubby body was tilted to the side. The hind feet and arches rotated 180 degrees around the front feet. It was a sudden drift.
Thanks to this, the thorny side that sprouted hit Cartu.
Without any time to respond.
So suddenly.
Even more cruel.
“Geoheok?”
Pop!
A violent shock hit Kartu’s entire body. The bamboo spear-like thorns pierced my limbs and lower abdomen without hesitation.
Three on each leg.
Two on the right arm.
One in the lower abdomen.
A total of six giant thorns were embedded in Cartu’s body. Fortunately, it was not an area that was immediately life-threatening.
But that alone was enough to have a suppressing effect. Aside from the thorns, it was thanks to the Kkosimgi’s sturdy arches and sides that they became powerful mass weapons(?).
“…Oof!”
This is like a traffic accident caused by a 25-ton truck drifting with spikes! Cartu flew away like that. He became a faint star in the sky and twinkled… but instead performed a majestic 1260-degree triple axel and rolled on the floor.
“Kkeok kek kek kkeok!”
That was the end of it.
He only did not die thanks to the defensive magic he had managed to cast in haste just before the collision. All my limbs were broken. Of course, I couldn’t even get up. It was actually helpful to hold on without fainting.
Meanwhile, Rachiel, who had finished the magnificent drift, got off the back of the little girl.
“Whoa.”
Got it. I tried it just in case, but it really worked. Seeing the special forces members running this way and cheering made me feel that today’s success was even more real.
“Wow!”
“Really! “Your Majesty was right!”
“No, really, even when I opened my eyes wide, there was nothing. How did your highness see through that?”
The special forces all came running, talking excitedly. The guards approaching side by side did not make a fuss, but their flushed faces were the same. Everyone seemed confident of today’s successful victory.
But among them, there was only one who was not excited.
It was Rachiel.
‘This is a little strange.’
Warlock Kartu was spread out on the floor like a dishtowel. Rakiel’s brows furrowed as he looked at him.
‘I was caught much easier than I thought.’
Of course, this one acted well. We made a meticulous plan and executed it perfectly. But I kept feeling strangely… strong.
The reason was unknown.
It just felt that way.
It was a similar harsh feeling to when my mother remained silent for 3 seconds on the other end of the phone when I lied and said ‘yes’ when asked if I was using my pocket money well this month.
‘Was the warlock Cartu from the novel Demon Sword Emperor so shabby that he was defeated to this extent?’
That wasn’t it.
The guy was vicious. It was that clever. He was definitely not a guy who could be defeated as easily as he just did. Even though this side used an exquisite trick, I thought that they were not the type of person who would get attacked by just defending at the last moment of drift.
‘That’s why I prepared various attacks and situations that would continue even after Kkosomi’s surprise drift.’
Actually, drifting was just like a greeting. Because I didn’t think it would get to that extent. The original plan was to start with Drift and mobilize all of the ambush Damian and Urus of the Special Forces Guard to beat him down.
But he was caught so easily.
I felt uncomfortable for no reason.
‘Then let’s check first.’
You have to beat on the stone bridge before you can cross it. You must carefully check the credit card charge amount. You should not easily believe cancer insurance that claims to guarantee up to a certain amount of compensation at a low price. There is a catch to the word ‘maximum’, which an insurance company employee mentioned in passing.
Likewise, you must not let down your guard in everything. This is especially true when things go too easily.
Rakiel approached the sprawled Cartu. As soon as the distance to it narrowed back to within 10 meters, I activated acupuncture point scanning. It has been designated as a scan target. I was planning on checking to see if he was pretending to have collapsed and planning something else.
Ding dong!
[Exclusive option for pulse skill ①: Acupuncture point scanning is activated.]
Kiiiiing-!
My vision has changed.
Cartu collapsed. I could see the mana flow of the acupuncture points flowing through the guy’s body. But the reality is….
‘What is that? ‘Isn’t it… a person?’
It was not a living person.
It was a zombie powered by black magic.
But was Cartu in the novel a zombie? no. There was absolutely no mention of that. So, the ‘thing’ that is lying down right now…
…is creepy.
Goosebumps appeared along with the sudden realization.
