Chapter 77. Miracle, or surprise (2)
“This is the first time I’ve seen such a case.”
The doctor raised his head.
A look of bewilderment appeared on his face.
“Obviously the heart is not beating. So it’s natural to die. No, you must have already died. are alive together. until breathing….”
“I’m fine. Am I right?”
“That’s right.”
Lloyd lying in bed.
The doctor’s gaze at Lloyd was full of confusion beyond bewilderment.
It was like that too.
It is natural for a person whose heart has stopped to die. no it’s a law of nature
But there was an exception in front of me.
At first, I thought it was undead. I wondered if it was a fresh(?) zombie made from a freshly dead body.
But no.
This patient was apparently alive!
A bitter smile bloomed on the count’s lips.
“Could you elaborate a bit more?”
“Ah yes.”
The doctor wiped his half-naked head with a handkerchief.
His explanation continued.
“As the Count knows, the heart is an organ that supplies blood throughout the body. So when the heart stops, the pulse stops. That is to die. But this patient….”
“now?”
“Your pulse is racing. Even when my heart stops.”
The doctor’s words continued.
“It’s not just that. I’m breathing too. I have a slight fever, but my temperature is quite normal. So I don’t understand any more. Did this patient receive magical treatment separately?”
“No, never.”
The Count shook his head.
A night of disaster brought on by Giga Titan.
Lloyd, who collapsed that day, has never received proper treatment.
No, it would be a more accurate explanation that there was no proper way to treat him.
‘Because no one dared to treat it.’
Lloyd’s condition was indeed bizarre.
My heart wasn’t beating.
But the pulse was fine.
Breathing continued peacefully.
Thanks to this, every doctor who had been called was embarrassed, stunned, and astonished when they diagnosed his condition.
It was the same today.
“Actually, I called other doctors before I called you. You are the eleventh.”
“….”
“Everyone had the same reaction as you. The cause has not been determined, and of course no cure has been suggested. Are you like that too?”
“I am….”
“You can be honest. It’s so bizarre that no one can blame you for your abilities.”
“sorry.”
“As expected.”
“yes. It’s the first time I’ve seen such a patient….”
“It’s okay. It took a lot of work to get this far. let’s go Travel expenses and compensation will be taken care of by the butler.”
“All right. Enough then.”
In the end, the 11th doctor who was called also withdrew in a panic.
Count Cremo’s expression darkened.
‘Can’t I find a way to wake up that friend?’
Lloyd Frontera lying in a hospital bed.
He was a talent I never wanted to lose.
The night of the last disaster.
It was all the more so when he remembered the grace he received that day.
‘Many citizens owed that young man a debt. that’s me too If it wasn’t for that friend, would I have been able to be as fine as I am now?’
If it wasn’t for Lloyd’s base, it would have been impossible.
The sailboat he was riding on must have been caught in the Giga Titan’s attack.
She would have lost her life as well as her only daughter.
Just thinking about it was terrifying.
He shook his head and looked away.
“Aren’t you tired?”
“I am fine.”
The corner of the hospital room where the Count’s gaze was directed.
The silver-haired knight, who had been silently standing there, shook his head faintly.
The Count’s bitter smile deepened.
“I know you aren’t fully healed yet either.”
“I have enough strength to protect Lloyd-sama.”
“Awesome.”
“It’s an overstatement.”
In fact, Xaviel was still wearing a splint on his left arm.
The day I was hit directly by Giga Titan’s front leg.
It was because the injured arm at the time had not yet fully healed.
“If you can only use your right arm, there is no big problem.”
“But it seems like you’ve been holding on with open eyes for the fourth day already.”
“It’s a body suffering from insomnia anyway.”
“Is it Sword Master Syndrome?”
“Yes maybe.”
Xaviel nodded.
I didn’t know before. But now, thanks to Lloyd, he knew at least some of the true nature of his insomnia.
“To think he was already suffering from that syndrome at that age. Great.”
“It is thanks to the deep and great care of my lord.”
“You mean Baron Frontera?”
“yes.”
“I envy him.”
“If you wish, I will give the word to you, my lord.”
“No, no.”
The Count shook his hand.
“Because it’s like such a tight friend. The baron will be frightened if you tell him that. I am not a person who covets the servants of my subordinates. I don’t want to be misunderstood like that. Just-”
A meaningful light flashed in the Count’s eyes.
“I think you could be a bit busy no matter how this ends.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“His Highness the King.”
The Count’s words continued.
“Anyway, I am in a position to report this matter to Your Highness. All lands in this country are under your grace. So, of course, you and your party cannot be left out.”
“….”
Xaviel’s head nodded faintly.
In fact, it is natural.
He stepped forward and tied Giga Titan’s feet.
After that, Lloyd finished off Giga Titan.
It was a fact that could not be hidden.
“Perhaps His Highness will show great interest in you. Anyway, all I can hope for now is that that friend will wake up fine. For a friend like that to close her eyes like this would be something Her Highness wouldn’t want.”
“I agree.”
“Anyway, my chatter was long. i’ll just go I’ll have another doctor come back tomorrow at this time.”
“All right.”
“If you are struggling too, call someone and let them know. My knights will be able to protect that friend as well.”
“All right.”
“That friend is really hard.”
“thank you.”
The Count laughed hysterically.
Finally, after taking a worried glance at Lloyd in the hospital bed, he left the room.
Just like that, only Lloyd and Xaviel remained in the hospital room.
“ha.”
Only then did the sigh he had been holding come out.
I throw the complex eyes that I tried to hide on the hospital bed.
‘Is Lloyd-sama okay?’
Lloyd is lying in a hospital bed as if falling asleep.
Xaviel’s blue eyes looking at him became disturbed.
Suddenly, I remembered what happened yesterday.
Was it after the tenth doctor went?
As before, the doctor also failed to grasp Lloyd’s condition.
I was frustrated watching it.
So it was.
The time left with Lloyd alone.
Secretly checked Lloyd’s condition.
Unlike the doctors, he mobilized his own method using mana.
However, Lloyd’s condition that he grasped in that way was truly shocking.
‘I’ve reached the stage of the triple circle.’
I could feel it as soon as I invested mana and diagnosed it.
Three circles wrapped around Lloyd’s heart.
Until now, Lloyd had been in the stage of the Double Circle, but he had created a Triple Circle while he was defeated by Giga Titan.
Surprisingly, it wasn’t just that.
‘Those three circles were spinning at breakneck speed.’
It was a speed beyond common sense.
It was a rotational speed that approached the limit of the dark heart method.
Thanks to this, a strong mana-like magnetic field completely surrounded the heart.
Because of that, I couldn’t look inside the circle. I couldn’t even get a glimpse of the condition of my heart. There was no way to even guess what was going on.
It wasn’t just that.
‘The corpse of Giga Titan that I looked at two days ago…I added it.’
I could still vividly recall it.
A gigantic corpse of Giga Titan collapsed on a rocky cliff by the seaside.
He was part of the investigation team looking at the body.
Thanks to that, I could clearly see the fatal wounds engraved on the monster’s body.
Between the 11th and 12th carapaces.
Giga Titan’s weakness that Lloyd mentioned.
There was a huge hole there.
I knew it as soon as I saw it.
It was a trace of a blasting hole.
So I couldn’t understand more.
‘The scale and power of that blast…It was so different from what I knew.’
It was a scale beyond common sense.
It was insanely powerful.
torches and candles.
shells and beads.
Comparing that blast with his own, that much of a difference seemed enough.
The more I looked at it, the more I couldn’t help but feel astonished.
But one thing was certain.
It was the fact that Lloyd was the one who used that insane level of blasting.
‘How the hell….’
Perhaps there was some connection between that tremendous level of blasting and Lloyd’s current state.
But the details behind it were still unknown.
‘What the hell did you do that day, Mr. Lloyd?’
Xaviel cast a look full of deep doubts and worries.
However, Lloyd, who was lying on the bed, did not answer. The only response he gave back was the sound of his quick exhaling.
As Xaviel watched, only the winter sunlight fell on the quiet hospital room and slanted silently.
Of course, Xaviel hadn’t even dreamed of it.
The moment you are looking at.
That an unprecedented, miraculous opportunity is sprouting from within Lloyd.
♣
Heart. pounding.
Lloyd’s heart raced.
no mana jumped
His heart had stopped.
It was natural.
A few days ago his heart was shocked.
It was exposed to the impact of blasting without the protection of a circle.
It was not even an ordinary blast, but a blast in which three circles collided.
The force of the fierce collision hit the heart intact.
If it had been Xaviel or any other knight, it was a huge damage that would have surely killed him at that moment.
But Lloyd was different.
he didn’t die
heart didn’t burst
The mana heart in his heart didn’t even explode.
The reason was simple.
It was because he had no manahat.
thump thump….
It was Lloyd who hadn’t made a mana heart yet.
It was like that from the first time he prepared for a duel with Sir Neumann.
He had no manahat.
To be precise, I didn’t have time to make Mana Hearts.
In the first place, Mana Heart was not something anyone could easily create.
An incredibly long time and effort had to be invested in the transformation itself.
Even for a genius of the century, at least six months.
It took about two years even if it was called a genius.
Ordinary people had nothing to say.
At least 5 years or so.
In the case of lack of qualifications, it took more than 10 years.
Of course, Lloyd was neither a genius nor a genius.
He was just a person who had learned how to perform a shimmering technique in order to fight a duel with Sir Neumann.
After learning the Asurahan practice, he thought that was enough.
I didn’t bother making Mana Hearts.
So he didn’t have manahat.
Unlike the splendid aspects of the mana circle surrounding his heart, the inside of his heart was in the same state as an ordinary person.
That fact saved him.
It saved his life from the conflict caused by the Mana Circle.
Doo-kung…Doo-kung….
In the first place, Manahat was not a natural being in the human body.
The essence and identity of Mana Heart was that humans, through artificial training, put mana far in excess of the natural amount into their heart and accumulated it in order to exert greater power.
But Lloyd had none of that.
In other words, from a mana perspective, his heart was almost empty.
There was no manahat to explode.
Instead, there was only empty space.
Rather, the impact of the blast filled the empty space.
Explosive power filled the space and condensed.
It condensed and created a core nucleus with unusual properties.
The mana storm was reorganized around the core and settled inside the heart.
slowly.
slow.
But sure.
Doo Koo…! cooong!
Inside the three fiercely rotating circles, a new mana heart of unprecedented form was being born.
♣
Several days have passed.
In the meantime, the trading city of Cremo was much more organized.
Everyone made an effort to escape from the aftermath of the disaster.
The repair of the destroyed central plaza is complete.
Collapsing and broken buildings and bell towers were also repaired, albeit roughly.
Post No. 23, which had been blown up, was built up again, and most of the injured also got up from their seats.
In the meantime, rumors have been circulating in the city.
Some rumors say that there was a person who rescued people from drowning in a sailboat that was wrecked by Giga Titan’s attack. Other rumors say that a person used a summons to extinguish a fire that was spreading near the plaza.
And some rumors say that a man fought against Giga Titan. Another rumor claims that the man defeated the Giga Titan at the end of the fight and fell into a coma as a result.
So many rumors spread.
They spread out and fit together like a puzzle piece by piece.
Naturally, the truth was revealed one after another.
The person who saved the drowning people and the person who extinguished the fire were the same person. The person who extinguished the fire and the person who fought against Giga Titan was the same person. He was lying in a hospital bed after killing Giga Titan, wandering between death and death.
Finally everyone knew.
Lloyd Frontera.
that’s what he did
Thanks to that, everyone was safe.
It was from the day I found out.
One by one, citizens gathered in the city square.
It had one purpose.
There was only one wish.
“Why did we gather in this cold weather? of course. Lloyd Frontera, who saved me. Because I want him to live.”
so they gathered
He didn’t care even in the bitter wind of midwinter.
The citizens’ wishes for Lloyd’s recovery were louder and hotter than the fierce wind.
We prayed and sang together.
It was regarded as a reward for Lloyd who sacrificed for the city.
Another ten days passed like that.
The last day of the year has dawned.
That day when the toxic cold wind blew.
Lloyd finally opened his eyes like everyone had hoped for.
