The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 552

Episode 552. Not giving up hope (2)

‘…Demon King?’

Uninvited guests always come at the worst possible moment. That’s the law. So, you are an uninvited guest. The same goes for the Demon King. A guy who is never welcome. no. If I could, I would grind him to powder and get rid of him. It’s him. It is certainly. A strand of mana is flowing out of Damian right now. The gloomy and ominous energy felt in that mana.

…Tkuuuung!

The Dragon King’s three-dimensional magic circle, which was about to be completed, stopped rotating with a loud noise. It was as if a machine that was running well suddenly broke down. This was because a stream of mana flowing from Damian got involved in the movement of the three-dimensional magic circle.

Thanks to this, Dragon King Berkis frowned.

‘her?’

It was absurd. My three-dimensional magic circle was forcibly stopped by an external force. It was the first time I had experienced this in my entire 2300-year life. It was absurd. On the other hand, I was able to immediately realize the cause.

‘The King of Demon World, this guy? Are you diligent?’

…Crack!

I had no idea that the King of Demon World would intervene in this way now. I didn’t even know how to directly emit mana and exert influence through Damian’s body.

Of course, the force of the mana that entered the magic circle was not very strong. It was at the level of an ordinary(?) human sword master’s Auror sword. To the Dragon King, it was only a weak and insignificant amount of power that was not even capable of breaking earwax.

However, when such a force is involved in an elaborate magic circle, the story is different.

‘Besides… it also means that his influence has increased to the point where he can unleash that level of power.’

Does this mean that Damien Cayenne’s death is closer? Is that why the King of Demon World has already been able to exert that much power on this world?

It was time to think about that.

“Hey, is this…?”

Crown Prince Rachiel’s bumbling words pierced my eardrums. The Dragon King frowned slightly and responded quickly.

“uh. “He is the King of Demon World.”

“also. So what happens now?”

“What happens? “I have to turn the magic circle again.”

“It’s not possible!”

“Why not?”

Dragon King Berkis ignored Rachiel’s cries. He had already made up his mind. After sending Damien to the world, he decided to listen to all the resentment. I think that would be better. That would be the path to peace for everyone with the least amount of sacrifice. He also said that it would be the safest way for his wife to be safe.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t think I can grant your request.”

So hate me.

Curse and blame.

If it makes you feel a little more at ease, then do it.

Dragon King Berkis looked bitter and sorry and gave a cold-hearted look. And moved both hands. The purpose was to reactivate the magic circle that had been temporarily stopped due to an unexpected interruption.

But…

…Cow!

The magic circle didn’t listen?

‘hmm?’

The Dragon King’s brow twitched again. He looked at his three-dimensional magic circle with bewildered eyes. The first emotion he felt at that moment was puzzlement.

‘what? ‘This can’t be happening.’

It was strange.

His three-dimensional magic circle is infinitely sophisticated and powerful. It cannot be stopped by any significant external intervention. How about roughly converting it into numbers? It is impossible to forcibly stop it unless it is wiped out with the power of a tactical nuclear weapon with a force of about 20 kilotons.

But now it was different.

‘what? ‘They’re holding onto my magic circle with only the power of the Sword Master’s Auror Sword and forcibly preventing me from moving?’

nonsense.

But it actually happened.

‘It’s strong?’

An unprecedented situation in history. Dragon King Berkis was slightly nervous, a rare occurrence in his dragon life.

It was then.

Bullfight!

With a tremendous roar, the three-dimensional magic circle suddenly began to move again. However, the direction of rotation was different from before. The other side? It wasn’t. It was heavy heating.

‘What is this?’

Each part of the three-dimensional magic circle, which was supposed to run like a sophisticated machine, began to rotate at will. It was unpredictable horizontally, vertically, and diagonally, and even the rotation speed was inconsistent. It was my first time. This kind of thing happens.

“…!”

Berkis immediately created magical power. An attempt was made to stop the magic circle that had begun to spin arbitrarily. But the magic circle did not listen. This was also a first time. At the same time, he realized.

‘Crazy…’

“What happened, Dragon King!”

Rachiel’s cry heard upon realization.

The Dragon King did not hide what he had figured out.

“Runaway.”

“…yes?”

“The magic circle is out of my control. Or, to be more precise, the Demon King stole control of the magic circle.”

“What… then can’t we just get it back?”

“It’s not easy. “Because the Demon King intervened in the magic circle from the inside, not from the outside.”

“….”

“I had no idea that his influence had already expanded this much.”

“So what happens now?”

“I need to take back control.”

“You can do it, right?”

“I don’t know.”

“yes?”

“I guess I should try it too.”

“So… what happens if I fail?”

“Maybe a big explosion?”

“yes?”

“The power expected now is roughly equivalent to the explosion of 50 megatons of TNT explosives used by humans on Earth.”

“….”

Rakiel was at a loss for words. I couldn’t believe my ears when they heard such a loud sound.

“You mean 50 megatons?”

“uh.”

“really?”

“uh.”

“….”

Crazy.

50 megatons?

Isn’t that equivalent in power to the Soviet Union’s ‘Tsar Bomba’, which was said to be the most powerful nuclear bomb in human history?

Tsar bomba.

A hydrogen bomb produced and tested by the Soviet Union in 1961, at the height of the Cold War. The power converted into numbers is 50 megatons of TNT. In other words, it was a crazy bomb with an energy amount 10 times greater than all the gunpowder consumed during World War II combined, equivalent to exploding 50 million tons of TNT.

‘Is that… what’s going to explode here?’

I got goosebumps.

I also remembered something I once saw in a documentary.

‘That nuclear bomb exploded at an altitude of 4,200 meters, and the crater touched the ground… and extended upwards to more than 10,000 meters in the air. Did you say that the diameter of the crater from the first explosion was 8 kilometers?’

What if it explodes over Seoul City Hall?

Jung-gu, Jongno-gu, Yongsan-gu, Seodaemun-gu, Dongdaemun-gu, and Seongdong-gu are evaporated in one blow. Part of Eunpyeong-gu, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Mapo-gu, Gangbuk-gu, Dongjak-gu, Seocho-gu, Gangnam-gu, and Guro-gu will be evaporated. This does not mean that one is simply swept up in flames. In the blink of an eye, in microseconds, literally all substances within that range are ‘evaporated’ and disappear atomic by atom.

‘The size of the mushroom cloud after the explosion… was 40 kilometers wide and nearly 70 kilometers high, so it penetrated not only the stratosphere but also the mesosphere, reaching almost below the thermosphere… Even people 100 kilometers away were exposed to the flash and suffered a 3-degree shock. It was at a level that could cause burns… It is said that the seismic waves generated by the explosion had a severe destruction area of 700 square kilometers and circled the Earth three times.’

So it’s happening here?

Is this a true story?

…gulp.

I was suddenly drooling. A tingling sense of crisis followed. He looked at the Dragon King with urgent eyes.

“Hey Dragon King?”

“uh.”

“Are you going to stop it?”

“I’m trying.”

“Is it worth it?”

“It’s a little… tight.”

“Yes?”

“It’s true. “It’s a lot tighter than I thought.”

“….”

Rachiel looked at the Dragon King’s face again with a sinking feeling. It’s not that there was no smile on the Dragon King’s face. So, this means that the Dragon King is absolutely not joking.

“Then…”

“Don’t talk to me. “Because I’m trying.”

The furrow that appeared between Berkis’s eyebrows became deeper. What he said was true. The Demon King’s mana, which intervened in his three-dimensional magic circle from within, was more persistent than expected. No, it wasn’t just persistent, it was brutal. The magic circle’s most elaborate and sensitive joints had all been infiltrated.

‘When are we going to dismantle all of this?’

Honestly, I was a little confused.

It was like looking at a skein of thread that was twisted so badly.

So, how would you summarize the current situation? It was the same situation as having to unravel 100 strands of extremely twisted old-style earphones within one minute while covering both eyes with an eye patch and wearing 1-cm-thick rubber gloves. Even with a plaster cast on his arm from shoulder to wrist!

‘I’m going crazy.’

Of course, it doesn’t matter to me if the magic circle explodes. There will be no damage. 50 megatons? At that level, your skin won’t even peel off.

But the crown prince will be different. Even the citizens of the Imperial Capital will not be safe. Even if you suppress the scale of the explosion as much as possible.

‘Should I suppress the explosive power with my grip? And it seems like it would be possible to go up high in the sky and release it into space…’

That’s also possible. But even in that case, there are situations that cannot be avoided.

Exactly….

‘This guy inside the magic circle will definitely die.’

The Dragon King’s eyes turned to Damian. As the Demon King began to exert influence, he seemed to have lost his mind.

‘If this guy dies, the King of Demon World will also descend.’

In other words, what if the explosion of the three-dimensional magic circle cannot be prevented in some way? This means that the King of Demon World will descend immediately. So it has to be stopped. It must be stopped. I have to stop it… But…

‘How?’

Dragon King Berkis felt at a loss for the rarest time in his life. I couldn’t see the answer. First of all, there was so little time. On the other hand, the runaway state of the three-dimensional magic circle became more and more twisted. In the meantime, I was working hard to unravel some of the twists, but even so, there were more and more new twists.

But Berkis did not give up. Feeling lost? The more I focused on dismantling the magic circle. I tried my best.

But that was then.

“Yongwangniim!”

The prince’s urgent voice pierced my eardrums once again. Berkis frowned more vigorously.

“Why are you calling me? why. “Can’t you see I’m busy right now?”

“I can see it!”

“But are you still preventing me from concentrating?”

“no! That’s not it! here! this way!”

Rachiel pointed to a point in the three-dimensional magic circle that was rotating arbitrarily. And shouted.

“This way! From below! In this direction! A thin and pointed form of mana! If you stab it 3cm deep! “It looks like the twisted parts nearby will unravel in succession!”

“…what?”

What does that mean?

Rakiel’s shout continued.

“So that’s it! This is what I see! A little something! It’s like someone who overexerts themselves and ends up with muscle pain all over their body! “This is the movement of mana flowing through the magic circle right now!”

“….”

Is it true?

Could this guy be bluffing?

But there was no time to worry about such things.

Berkis immediately began responding as instructed by Rachiel.
