The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 216

Episode 216 People you want to protect (3)

Open your eyes wide. It feels like everything in the world slows down for a moment. In such a strange sensation, the top of the canyon is receding away. Between the drops of my blood that are dotted. Downwards where explosions and collapses occur. Falling down without end.

It goes away.

To a place you can never return to.

‘no.’

Rakiel thought blankly. My head hurt so much. Was it hit by debris? Or did I bump into something? I can not know. My body doesn’t listen well. Perhaps I am fainting? It seem to be like that.

This situation wasn’t unfamiliar to me. It was a feeling I had experienced before. when? A page in my memory that is now a little distant. okay. seoul. Yanghwa Bridge. A very cold winter night. that day.

‘I…’

I was drunk.

I feel like the oriental medicine clinic that ended up going bankrupt is the pattern of my life. Because the future is even more daunting. Did you get into a taxi while a little drunk? Did you suddenly and impulsively get off in the middle of Yanghwa Bridge?

I just walked. After all, the wind was cold. The feel of the railing I climbed on without even thinking about it was the same. It seems like I was shouting something. Then I lost my balance.

‘I didn’t even mean to jump.’

It was a mistake. The balance was momentarily tilted. I couldn’t control myself. He didn’t jump, he fell.

It was like this back then too.

The railing of that day that went away. The top of the canyon is now receding. The snow that day was sprinkled with dots. Drops of my blood are now sprinkled. Toward the cold river water. Downwards where the explosion occurs. It fell without a hitch. It falls down without end.

‘I…’

I was alone at that time.

No one caught me as I fell. Because there was no one nearby. Because there was no one by my side. Maybe it’s still like that now. Will I end up falling alone like I did then? Maybe so.

It was a moment when I thought,

“Your Highness!”

A voice that hits your hearing like a lie. A silhouette approaching in the fading field of vision. A reaching out hand.

It was Damian.

“…!”

The guy is reaching out his hand. With an urgent gesture. With even more desperate eyes. After kicking Urus’ back. I’m throwing my body away. No, it’s jumping down towards me as I fall. Throwing my whole body into it.

‘you idiot.’

You shouldn’t do that.

You must be absolutely safe.

I wanted to leave it as a greenhouse flower until the end.

‘But why?’

That was it.

Consciousness was fading rapidly. The world became dark before my eyes. It can’t be like this. You shouldn’t close your eyes here. I shouted to myself that I had to come to my senses until the end.

It was no use.

The whole world went dark.

The next moment I felt a hand holding my hand. What I couldn’t feel on Yanghwa Bridge was the warmth that I had longed for so much that no one had given me.

…Is this enough?

I don’t know.

That was Rachiel’s last thought before losing consciousness.

Damian tightened his hands. The prince’s hands barely stretched out and held together. pulled it The prince’s light body collided. I held on tightly.

He looked down.

…Threat attack!

Explosions occurring one after another. A flash of light pierced my eyes. A terrible heat rose up, welcoming us with a gesture of destruction. On the contrary, one side of my chest felt cold.

‘Will I be able to survive?’

I don’t know.

Honestly, I’m not confident.

If I fall that far, I don’t think I’ll be safe no matter how much I do. Needless to say, the crown prince passed out before we knew it.

That… I don’t like it.

Crack!

Prince. I still don’t know what kind of person you are. I don’t know why I gave myself up so much for you. I just happened to impulsively jump out after you.

Nevertheless, one thing is certain….

‘I want to save you.’

The sight of you coming down to the sleazy gladiatorial arena and slyly mocking me. The image of you supporting my back and telling jokes. Even though you saved me from a dark abyss, your attitude was to look the other way and say it was for mutual benefit.

Actually, I was grateful.

Even the days when you always tried to keep me by your side. Even your words that defended me while I was being interrogated by the investigator. Your courage in taking risks to save me from almost being killed by the Sword Master.

Honestly, I was grateful.

Nevertheless, your attitude of always pretending to be calm. In fact, even though you are more fearful than others, your true intentions are always trying to hide it. Your fingertips were trembling because you couldn’t hide them until the end.

I always felt sad.

‘So…’

I want to protect you. I can’t let it waste away in a place like this. No matter what happens, I will save you.

‘At any cost!’

Squeak!

I stretched out my other hand. A flashing sword light. I stabbed the cliff. The sword penetrated more than half of the rock. I pushed harder and held on with all my might.

Card deuk deuk!

The sword split the rock. The speed of the fall slowed down that much. A flame of hope blooms for a moment. However, I had to realize that reality is not easy at all.

Tsukang!

“…!”

The sword was broken.

The blade that cut through the rock moved upwards. A black halve left in my hand. Another cruel fall followed. I threw away my sword. I stretched out my bare hand.

Kwaja Jajajak!

“…!”

It felt like my entire fingers and palm were on fire. Even that feeling soon disappeared. The speed did not decrease. There was no getting caught. The bottom of the canyon arrived quickly. Below, it was blazing with the heat of the explosion.

Can you handle the shock of a fall? Even if it could withstand that, would it be able to withstand the heat of that explosion and the tens of thousands of tons of rocks collapsing above?

It was creepy. A sense of despair gripped my entire body. Is this the end?

It was that moment.

“Nuuuuuu-!”

Suddenly, with a loud shout, an overwhelming shadow covered the sky above. As soon as I realized it, the huge Minotaur’s whole body wrapped around me tightly.

“Lord Urus?”

“Neuu!”

Urus, who was embracing both him and the crown prince, blinked his characteristic large eyes. It was as if his gaze was telling me to take it easy now. Or, it seemed like he was resolute that he would protect him no matter what.

I knew it the moment I saw it.

Because we feel the same way.

“…Neu!”

Urus roared as if to encourage himself. I hugged Damian and the crown prince even tighter. The despair of the past and the aspirations of the present flickered in my eyes. gorge. Rocks pouring down. A young life dying in my arms. My helpless self at that moment.

But it won’t be the same now.

It will be different from then.

“Nuuuu!”

It was too late to gain balance for a proper landing. Instead, Urus curled his body into a ball.

Quad angle!

The shock of the fall struck me. Urus’ consciousness was struck and shaken. I finally endured it. Most of the shock was handled and absorbed. Instead, a large price had to be paid.

“…Nuuk!”

Whoosh!

A broken rib pierced my lung. Fresh blood appeared at the end of the scream. Nevertheless, Urus looked first at the inside of his arms rather than his own safety.

I saw Damian in my arms. I saw the crown prince being held by Damian. Both are breathing. didn’t die There were no injuries visible. okay. That’s enough. It’s different from before. thank god. I did it. Protected.

“Nuu…!”

A difficult smile appeared on Urus’s lips. A problem that had been harboring for a long time was finally released. The tension was also relieved. That was Urus’ last rite. Urus closed his eyes and collapsed, feeling the terrible heat in the air he breathed with difficulty.

“…Cough!”

Damian barely escaped from Urus’ arms. With difficulty, the crown prince was pulled out. The field coughed. It was difficult to breathe. Transcendent heat coming from all directions. The super-thermal lingering scent left behind by the huge explosion seemed to hit the skin of my entire body.

I could feel it in an instant.

‘If this continues… we’ll all die.’

Himself too.

Urus too.

Everyone, even the crown prince.

I won’t be able to last even one minute.

It wasn’t just because of the heat. Right now, the entire canyon is collapsing and pouring down from above our heads.

…Tukwagagak!

Just a bunch of rocks?

A simple landslide?

It wasn’t.

There was no sky in sight.

The entire canyon collapsed. Hundreds of thousands of tons of rocks and soil are collapsing. Head this way. Without even a gap to escape. It doesn’t show any room for hope or even a hint of hope. A curtain of overwhelming despair covers every direction of one’s vision.

‘I…’

Damian widened his eyes. It feels like everything in the world slows down for a moment. In such a strange sensation, all the sky is disappearing. Between the light being obscured. By the huge wave of death pouring down. It’s like I’m struggling helplessly.

Hope is fading away.

To a place that cannot be held forever.

‘no.’

Damian clenched his fists. My heart was pounding violently. Have I become frozen? Or was he weighed down by a dark sense of helplessness? I can not know. My body doesn’t listen well. I wonder if he is going to give up everything like this. That’s…

‘I don’t like it.’

The prince leaned on me. A fallen Urus. Everyone is on my shoulders. I am the only one who can move at this moment. Only I can protect and save everyone.

So you have to do whatever it takes.

Anything.

Even if it is a prohibited action, definitely.

…Keaaaaaaa!

A moment when your heart moves. The moment when my resolve is engraved in my mind. All mana in the entire body began to move backwards. I broke the rules of nature. Mana began to race in the opposite direction everywhere in the heart, muscles, bones, skin, chest, and mind.

– Promise. I will never use that mental method that goes against mana again.

The prince’s request flashes through his memory. My once self nodded that I would do so.

‘I’m sorry, Your Majesty.’

It has to be like this now. Because I want to protect you. Because that’s the only best thing left to me. Because it’s the only reason I have to stay by your side.

‘therefore…!’

Tsuskagagak-!

All the mana in Damian’s body created a destructive torrent. The taboo of irreversible retrogression was broken. Endless amplification began. The blood vessels were broken and reorganized, and every cell in the body cried out the roar of the beginning.

A torrent of retrograde emotions that surpassed that of the previous encounter with Sword Master Javilon swept through my heart. An unprecedented pounding filled my heart. A memory of the crown prince’s worries flashed through my mind.

– If you use that carelessly, you’ll be in real trouble.

Even if what you say is true. Even if something irreversible happens in the end.

Just for you now.

I am.

like this.

…!

There was no sound.

The overwhelming mountain echo covered all sounds. It was just one heartbeat.

Thump.

Reversa, the evil magician of reverse blood.

The moment Damian’s heart was filled with the transcendent sound brought about by the forbidden resolve, Damian opened his eyes. At the same time, I opened my eyes with the satisfaction of an unprecedented existence.

– You’re finally ready. My incarnation. A vessel and a sword.
