I blinked. “Hm?”
What was that? It felt like an eternity had passed, or perhaps it had only been a moment. My sense of time appeared temporarily numbed, similar to when the Chemist had put me under anesthesia for treatment.
“Mr. Death King! Mr. Death King! Wake up, Mr. Death King!”
Before I knew it, I was lying down. I couldn’t tell when, why, or where I had ended up lying down. I couldn’t remember anything clearly. The only thing I was certain of was the face of the person crying in front of me. The boy who looked so familiar was clutching my hands as if he were about to burst into tears at any moment.
He asked, “Are you okay? Can you hear me?”
“Where am I?”
“You were injured in battle against the Heavenly Blood Demon. While you were fighting one-on-one, the Blood Demon Cult’s elite warriors joined the fight like cowards.”
The boy wiped his tears on my sleeve. His tears seemed to be flowing uncontrollably, and I became worried for him.
“Fight... wounds...” I murmured.
The boy stopped me as I tried to stand up. “Ah, don’t move! Your internal injuries are serious, Mr. Death King! You must rest now! Your whole body is a mess. Your bones are broken, and your internal organs are tattered... I was afraid you wouldn’t ever open your eyes again until a moment ago!”
