The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 18

Episode 18 Breaking expectations (3)

Model student.

This was the appearance of the second prince described in the novel Demon Sword Emperor. In everything he did, he was sincere, zealous, upright, and without crookedness. He barely even drank alcohol. No, I barely drank alcohol.

Rakiel remembered.

‘In the original Demon Sword Emperor, you were drunk only once. ‘It was before death.’

A scene from Demon Sword Emperor came to mind.

It was a time when the empire was falling.

The second prince in front of me had become the emperor. He was sitting on the throne, watching the Emperor Magenta engulfed in flames. I drank my drink in silent sorrow.

Not very poisonous.

It was an ordinary wine.

But I got drunk from that glass of wine. While drunk, he met death at the hands of the invaders. It was the scene in the novel where the Magentano royal family completely collapsed.

‘Anyway, there was one lesson I learned there. You are a weak drinker! Absolutely!’

“…Cool look! Cough! Why… hiccup?”

At the same time as this person is shouting inside.

The 2nd prince’s face brightened in an instant.

The guy’s eyes were completely bewildered.

That wasn’t all.

My legs are already shaking.

The dazzling Yeongdeok Snow Crab began to take steps.

‘done!’

Rakiel clenched the handle of his shield. I could feel that my aim had hit the mark.

‘The timing for releasing the Circle Slot Bomb Juice was good.’

I was aiming for just the right moment when the 2nd prince’s shady mind would invade. It was perfectly timed at the moment when the 2nd prince absorbed this mana.

Just then.

The circle slot has been opened. He discharged 0.2 liters of ‘20 types of bomb liquor’ stored in the slot. In other words, the 2nd prince was able to one-shot a glass of bomb liquor without realizing it thanks to the absorption power of his faint mind.

‘I prepared for this. Last night. Ignoring Lord Gardin’s surprise.’

Suddenly, the events of last night came to mind.

Sir Gardin was so frightened that he ordered him to bring strong drink. But I didn’t care. I absolutely needed a solo drink.

They forced him to bring some hard liquor, and they mixed about 20 bottles of hard liquor, one sip at a time, to make bomb liquor. Then I drank it all in one go and stored it in the circle slot.

Thanks to?

‘Performance is solid.’

Beatle!

“…sigh?”

2nd Prince Theodore’s legs were twisted. I almost fell, but barely managed to keep my balance. Theodore was literally beside himself with embarrassment.

‘what? ‘What the hell is this?’

What is this situation?

Why am I so dizzy?

Not only my legs, but my whole body stopped listening. Why is the world, the sky and the earth, spinning around?

I couldn’t figure it out.

I couldn’t even understand.

I felt like I would lose my mind if I continued like this.

‘why?’

He was just competing with his older brother. I was just attacking my brother who was hiding behind a shield. We were so close to victory.

‘Just… when I hit the shield… something…’

came in.

This is a shabby way of thinking.

Something came in through that absorbing power.

It was not ordinary mana.

It contained something foreign.

After that, something spread uncontrollably, as if a bomb exploded inside my body.

‘I… why is this happening?’

I was perplexed, embarrassed, and confused. Nevertheless, the second prince grabbed his sword.

‘You can’t fall down.’

I don’t know what it was, but it happened.

It was an unexpected blow.

That’s why I’m dizzy.

The 2nd prince desperately tried to control his mind. This is a showdown anyway. So this is where you could get hit by your brother. You might get a bite in the process. That’s a showdown.

When I thought about it that way, my confused feelings subsided a little. The goal that had been blurred for a moment was visible again.

‘I win.’

Today I will win the battle against my brother. I will defeat my brother within 5 minutes. So, I received recognition from Abama Ma. Receiving cheers in front of tens of thousands of citizens of the imperial capital. He will be reborn as a proud crown prince who holds legitimacy.

Because that would be the path for myself, the Imperial Empire, and my older brother who is suffering from illness.

‘So… I will win.’

Quang!

The 2nd Prince barely suppressed the intoxication that threatened to cut off the film. I found my balance by hitting the floor with a strong kick.

Even though it may be a bit shaky.

I took heavy steps.

At the end was Crown Prince Rachiel.

“Huh!”

I took a deep breath and raised my sword. The sword strike, which became dull and dull, flew towards Rachiel.

Kaang!

The sword and shield collided.

Rachiel stumbled.

The 2nd prince activated a mysterious mind technique. Absorbed Raquiel’s mana using the Mind Technique. However, the mana absorbed in that way also contained bomb liquor.

‘Here we go, another one shot! Don’t take it out?’

The moment when Rakiel smiles evilly from behind the shield.

[0.1 liter of bomb liquor stored in the circle slot is released.]

The bomb liquor was released along with the message. Second Prince Theodore also inhaled 0.1 liters of bomb liquor while defenseless.

“…Cough! Hiccup!”

Theodore’s face turned even redder. My eyes almost opened. Without realizing it, I took steps and took a step backwards as I went to a neighborhood room. I almost lost my sword.

“What… what… hiccup! Sigh!”

I really couldn’t understand. Now my body can hardly move of its own accord. It was as if I had been hit by a terrible poison.

Even those who were watching did not understand this situation.

“Why is the 2nd prince acting like that?”

“I don’t know either.”

“You look like you’re drunk, right?”

“Yes, but… I guess I’m going to do that. You were fine until now. “You didn’t even drink alcohol on the way.”

“That’s true, but…”

The citizens nodded with puzzled faces. It was no different for nobles to feel embarrassed.

“Why is His Highness the Second Prince acting like that?”

“Well, that’s right.”

“Could it be that he suffered an unexpected blow while we were not seeing him?”

“No, I don’t think that’s true. “His Royal Highness only defended himself and did not launch any counterattack.”

“Then…”

“Is there anything you can point out?”

“I mean shield art.”

“yes?”

“I heard that someone who is extremely skilled at shielding uses an art that returns the impact of a collision that occurs when defending to the attacker. “The best mercenaries who have spent their entire lives fighting on the battlefield use such skills.”

“Then… are you saying that His Highness the Crown Prince is using such a skill?”

“No, that’s not right. It must be impossible. “So I’m confused too.”

“…Yes, I feel the same way.”

The nobles felt confused.

The same was true for citizens.

The confrontation began and there were no more than a few collisions. But the second prince was already staggering badly.

It looked so unfamiliar. It was a sight no one expected. So everyone had the same thought. Something is wrong with this.

Only one of them. Only Emperor Asterion had slightly different thoughts than the rest.

‘Something is strange.’

The emperor watches the battle on the bridge.

His eyes narrowed. Suspicion and astonishment appeared in the intertwined eyes.

‘Did Rachiel’s Asrahan’s punishment really come true?’

The emperor’s gaze turned to Rachiel.

Specifically, I focused on Rachiel’s breasts.

Although it is far away.

So although it is extremely faint.

I could definitely feel the shady spirit of the law. It was a resonance that anyone who possessed the eerie mind that the circle gave off as it rotated could feel it.

‘It’s clear. I’m sure. ‘You…’

Are you saying you’ve been hiding it this whole time?

The emperor swallowed his sleep.

Suddenly, something from 15 days ago came to mind. It was the day I called Raquiel to the imperial palace and made a proposal.

Put down the crown prince. Give in to your younger brother and step down. On the day I tried to suppress it, I felt a faint aura of deep sorrow from Rachiel.

‘I just thought it was an illusion.’

The eldest son was sickly from an early age.

I thought it was impossible for such an eldest son to have awakened his powerful mind. He dismissed his vain hope as a brief illusion presented like a mirage.

But now I see that it wasn’t.

It was I who was wrong.

‘Even though it is this far away, a place where the energies of so many people are mixed…’

The resonance of the circle roaring so clearly. The emperor unconsciously grabbed the armrest. The confrontation on the bridge was intensifying. Now the tide has completely turned.

Huh! Whoa!

A large shield was being swung.

By all accounts, the thin and small Crown Prince Rachiel was advancing. He tenaciously advanced, pushing, slashing, and striking with his shield.

Every time, the second prince staggered back. There is a sword in the 2nd prince’s hand. The sword could not be used in attack at all. All he did was swing it as if threatening to prevent the crown prince from getting any closer.

The one holding the shield attacks and pushes back. The person holding the sword retreats because he is on the defensive. At this strange sight, all the citizens and nobles of the imperial capital were enveloped in great silence.

Silence in a crowd of tens of thousands of people.

Only Rachiel’s heavy breathing echoed across the bridge, as if wading through this strange sea of silence.

“after! Whoop!”

I feel like I’m going to stop breathing.

The shield becomes increasingly heavier.

Suddenly, the sky turns yellow.

The limit of my physical strength came too quickly and took hold of my legs. But Rakiel didn’t stop.

‘This low-quality physical strength! But I thought I would quit!’

He moved forward persistently.

I gripped the top handle of my shield more roughly.

Whoa!

Originally, shields were weapons for defense. This has been the case ever since mankind first invented the shield. However, in modern times, the shield has reached its ultimate development form. That was the upper handle of the shield.

You will find out once you catch it for yourself.

The moment you fix your left arm and left hand on the original center handle and hold the top handle of the shield with your right hand. The moment when you can fully control the shield with both hands.

The fact that the shield is transformed into a tool that can be pushed, cut, struck, kicked, swung, and sometimes even stabbed at will.

‘This is almost… similar to a stirrup for a cavalry soldier!’

Or a computer mouse.

Like an automatic gear in a car.

It was an option that raised the usability of the item to another level.

Of course, Rakiel was an expert in using the upper handle. Because I did compulsory military service in Korea. Because it rolled into the foreground unwantedly. It was thanks to the countless sweaty days.

“Sseuheup! after! Whoop!”

Inhaling as if I was about to explode.

Encouraging your wobbly legs.

We continued to advance and advance and press.

He pushed and struck with the shield.

When the 2nd prince resisted with his sword, he kicked it away. The shield was used through the gap created by the removal. He put more pressure on the 2nd prince, who was flustered, and drove him away.

Finally, the second prince’s back touched the bridge railing. I was driven into a dead end. The moment the cold touch of the iron railing touched his back, the 2nd prince’s blurred eyes came back to his senses for a brief moment.

“…Hiccup! “Big!”

The film was almost about to cut out.

But even so, the second prince managed to remember that he was in the midst of a confrontation. I once again grabbed hold of the competitive spirit that I almost lost. I gripped the sword handle even more tightly. He resisted with all his might against his brother who was pressuring him with his shield.

“…Khaab!”

Even though I’m drunk and stumbling around.

Even though I was almost on the verge of losing my mind.

At this moment, the second prince, a model student, fully revealed the results of the arduous training he had faithfully accumulated so far.

Wedge!

The second prince’s sword strike, which regained its sharpness for an instant, split the space. It flashed like the claws of an animal and rushed towards Rakiel’s head.

But at that moment.

Rachiel was no longer there. He was leaping forward and digging into the arms of the second prince.

…Whoop.

The sword strike touched Rakiel’s hair as if it were a swipe.

Rakiel snuggled into the arms of the second prince.

Before I knew it, I had thrown away my shield.

One hand held the second prince’s waist.

One hand touched the second prince’s solar plexus.

That moment.

Kiiiiing-!

From Raquiel’s palm, which touched the 2nd prince’s solar plexus.

All the while the fierce battle continued.
