The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 223

Episode 223 Beautiful Reward (1)

“Good. First of all, the most basic things. “Tell me the detailed identity and purpose of the mythical being lurking within you.”

“please.”

Damien’s uvula fluttering. The upper body is seated but slightly tilted to one side. It was a look of nervousness that I rarely see of him.

Looking at that scene, Rakiel suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu.

‘…This is a look I often see in oriental medicine clinics.’

It reminded me of my days in Korea. Well, it was an ordinary day that could never be said to be anything special. But that was the posture of the people I encountered most often in my daily life. He is sitting facing this way and slightly sticking out his upper body. Nervous eyes and posture.

This was exactly what the patients who visited the Oriental Medicine Clinic looked like. To be precise, this was the appearance most often seen by patients and their families hearing their diagnosis.

Thanks to this, I know better than anyone else how a person with such an attitude feels. Therefore, I know very well what mindset I should have when speaking.

For example…

“The name of that being is Acheros. Demon King. “Of all the worlds in this dimension we live in, he is the master of the demon world, the lowest level.”

“Demon world… you mean?”

“hmm. Have you ever heard of it?”

“no. “Not in particular.”

“I guess so. “It’s a completely different place from the hell that people commonly know.”

It was true.

It reminded me of a setting from the novel Demon Sword Emperor.

“The world we live in is one where multiple levels of worlds overlap and overlap. No, the most appropriate expression would be that it is piled up layer by layer. “Multi-layered green onion pancakes… no, like pancakes.”

“Is that so?”

“uh. Among them, our world is the material world. It’s stuck in the middle of the pancake. “Like a hamburger patty.”

Rachiel said, folding her hands together.

“And here. Nothing has been revealed at the very top. Some say it is a space reserved for the absolute, while others say it is empty. No one knows yet. “The floor just below there is quite well lit.”

“Is it… heavenly?”

“answer. “Where angels live.”

A sacred space for workaholic civil servants. Did you say that place was heaven?

“Below there is the spirit world. The bottom layer is our material world. Further down is the world where various ideas and fragments of dreams from the spirit world and the material world flow and gather together. Further down is hell. And the demon world is lower than hell.”

“It means it’s the lowest point.”

“okay. Acheros, lurking within you, is the master of that world. “You may have felt it too, but he is trying to use your body to skip hell and the world of hell and descend to the material world.”

“What am I?”

Damian gently bites his lower lip.

I could feel the guy’s anxiety.

I took a moment to catch my breath in front of that sight. How should I tell you? If I tell the truth, can it be accepted obediently? no. You’ll be shocked. But there is no other way. This is best. The Damien I know isn’t that weak.

‘And… because people are most anxious and distressed when they don’t know the cause of the shitty situation they are currently in.’

In my experience, it really was that way.

This was especially true for patients.

I know someone who has suffered a lot of pain themselves or a family member. The most painful thing is not the pain, but the situation in which the cause of the pain is rarely known. In such a situation, both the patient and the family become embarrassed. No, it’s almost scary. A bottomless kind of fear.

It would be great if the cause of the pain was clearly revealed. Then, I would at least try to find a treatment direction according to the cause of the pain. Whether it’s predicting what will happen in the future or mentally preparing, you can try something.

“….”

Why do my parents’ faces suddenly come to mind? I quickly shook my head to shake off my thoughts. Instead, I looked straight at Damian.

I made a promise to myself. From now on, let’s treat it like a patient. Let’s try to explain to the patient the name of the disease, cause, symptoms, progression, and future treatment direction. That would be the best I could show.

“Damian. “You have a human form, but you are a being created from the throne of the King of Demon World.”

“I…”

“Yes. know. It must be a big shock. “Still, can I keep talking?”

“…yes.”

“Thank you. To explain in more detail, your body was created by the Demon King in the shape of a human. After going through numerous demonic magic and magic rituals. “To be more similar to humans than any other demon.”

I took a quick look at Damian’s expression.

The guy didn’t look as shocked as I thought. I was trying to somehow hear what I heard as it was. Perhaps, at the moment of awakening, I gained some clues about myself.

Anyway, it’s good.

It’s not bad.

I gained courage and continued speaking.

“That was 10 years ago. The King of Demon World, who completed you, used all his capabilities to tear a gap in the world. I bypassed Hell and the Realm at once, created a passage from the Demon World to this place, and sent you here through it. The reason is simple. “The gap was too small for me to jump over on my own.”

“Then my childhood memories are….”

“Yes. Unfortunately.”

“….”

“I’m sorry to have to tell you this, Damian.”

“no. it’s okay.”

I know it’s not okay at all. But I also know that there is no need for clumsy consolation. So just keep the facts as they are.

“That’s how you were thrown into this world by the hand of the Demon King and eventually became the champion of the underground gladiatorial arena. If you had left it as is, you would have escaped on the day a fire broke out in the gladiatorial arena and suffered various hardships and hardships. In the end…”

“Did I face the fate of the Demon King taking over my body?”

“okay. “Exactly.”

Because that was the story in the novel.

“All those hardships and adversities you overcome continue to grow you. I will lead you with the magic of Reversa, the evil spirit of reverse blood. You’ve probably felt it enough. “Even if you went through a mana reversal that would have killed anyone else dozens of times, you are still fine and comfortable.”

“yes.”

“That is the characteristic of demons.”

“….”

“Reversa. In other words, the technique of reverse blood is the specialty of the demons. Not to mention the Demon King at the top. That’s how you were made. In the end, he completes the Reversa Mind Technique and becomes the perfect vessel for the King of Demon World, becoming the means of his descent into the material world.”

“majesty.”

“Is it painful to hear? Then take a break and later…”

“No. “I’m just curious about the Demon King’s purpose.”

“Why are you promoting the descent into the material world?”

“yes.”

Damian’s eyes suddenly hardened. also. As expected, the guy’s mentality is strong. Even if he finds out his identity, he doesn’t feel cheap sadness or show it. It was exactly what I believed.

“The reason he wants to come to the material world is simple.”

“Is it perhaps to conquer or conquer the material world?”

“no. I can’t believe it’s such a simple and classic reason. “He wants to create.”

“If you say creation….”

“Dimension creation.”

“….”

Damian closed his mouth. okay. You may not immediately understand what I mean. So how should I explain this?

I opened my mouth while thinking.

“I told you earlier, right? “The dimension we live in is made up of multiple layers, like stacked pancakes, and at the top is a layer whose true nature has not yet been revealed.”

“yes. Perhaps it could be the space of the Absolute….”

“Yes. “He’s trying to go there.”

“You mean the top layer of the dimension? But why to the material world….”

Damian did not understand.

If the Demon King wants to go to the top layer of the dimension, shouldn’t he just go there? But why do you want to use yourself to descend into the material world?

Rakiel gave the answer.

“I’m trying to use this as a stepping stone.”

“Stepping stones….”

“Yes. At the lowest level of the demonic world, I was able to skip hell and the world of hell, but I couldn’t cross over to the material world. Therefore, we will make the material world a colony of the demon world and from here we will accumulate the power to go even higher.”

“no way.”

“Did you guess?”

“yes.”

Damian nodded and said his guess.

“After I gather the strength to go higher… I will create a new vessel to invade the world above. Just like you made me. Is that correct?”

“Exactly.”

Perhaps the next will be the spirit world or perhaps the celestial world. In a similar way, you will send your avatar first, grow it there, and use it as a vessel for Advent. In fact, this is exactly what the Demon King planned in the novel Demon Sword Emperor.

“So comforting. Up again. When he reaches heaven, he will finally stand in front of the door to the top floor.”

“The world of the Absolute.”

“maybe. If he goes there, he will become equal to the Absolute and gain the right to create a new dimension. “It may not be accurate, but at least that’s what the Demon King expects.”

“Then… what kind of new dimension is the Demon King trying to create?”

“well. “You’re the only one who knows that, right?”

I don’t know that far either. It was never mentioned in detail in the novel. However, there is one thing that is certain.

“We can stop it.”

Because Damian did it in the novel. There were many failures and adversities, but I succeeded in the end. So we can do it too. I can make that happen.

“You probably feel it too, but now the awakening of the Demon King has become a fait accompli. The level of awakening has passed the critical point. You can’t stop the reverse blood flow, right? Rather, it would have become as natural as breathing. So now the awakening itself cannot be stopped.”

“Can’t it be delayed?”

“Just a little? Now, even if you just breathe, the awakening will progress very slowly but never stop. “It’s like magma gathering under a dormant volcano and then one day it explodes.”

“Then…”

“That’s right. Now we have entered the stage of prevention rather than prevention. And we can do it.”

I can’t be sure.

But I was very confident.

Because I know the way. Because we know everything about Damian in the novel, what he attempted, how he failed, and how he eventually overcame that failure.

“If I were to make a personal prediction, the probability of success in stopping it would be 50/50? Still, where can that be? If ordinary people like us have half a chance of stopping the mythical ruler of a world, that alone is enough to make us bow down and be grateful.”

It’s true.

It is the same situation as having a 50% chance of winning first place in the lottery. Wouldn’t it be worth a try?

“So that’s it for now. I’ll tell you more about the details later. I also need to organize my thoughts and plans at least once. “We won’t be able to do that right here anyway.”

It was true.

First of all, I have to return to the ecliptic before I can do anything. So now I feel like I need to sort out my affairs here.

“First, let’s take a look at the people waiting in the hallway. “Everyone will be waiting for me to wake up.”

Special Forces and Royal Guards.

Urus head nurse Anis.

In addition, there are fantasy species and the orc chieftain Brash.

They were all people who made sacrifices for this side. They were willing to fight shoulder to shoulder and sacrifice themselves selflessly to protect this side.

I wanted to see them.

“All right.”

Damian got up obediently. I opened the bedroom door. Thanks to this, I made eye contact with those outside.

“…majesty?”

As I turned my head through the open bedroom door on this side, I caught my eye. A middle-aged man with a rough look. A special forces member who was once a veteran gladiator. The man who blocked the explosion with his whole body on my behalf at the moment when the first corpse explosion of the undead army occurred.

It was Sergio, the oldest member of the Special Forces. He jumped up with startled eyes. Others also rose up together.

“Jeonhaaa-!”

Sergio came running, shouting loudly. Is it just an illusion that it sounds like crying is mixed in that husky voice? no. The same was true for the Royal Guards and Special Forces members who ran with him, as well as Head Nurse Anis Kogeomi and the Phantom Bell.

I was able to realize this even in the dazed way I was receiving their intense hugs. A compensation pop-up window still flashes in the corner of my eye, waiting for confirmation. A reward more valuable than that is already with me.

All these people who gave up everything for me, made sacrifices, and willingly shed tears for me to be safe. These are my most precious rewards.
