The Mad Dog of the Empire Has Returned

Chapter 90 Purification.

"What the hell were the professor bastards there doing? Why were they just watching this?"

Olivier frowned heavily. Before her lay Piontek, who was a mess, and Bartea, whose whole body was mottled with dark blue spots.

"Let's say that's that. You really......."

"Ha, ha, ha."

Olivier sighed, saying 'Oh my.'

Understandable.

'Don't move! I'll take this child and treat her.'

Right after Piontek's strike exploded, I ran up to the stadium holding Dawn. Others tried to stop me. Several professors also shouted to stop and informed not to do anything. But there was absolutely no reason to.

'You guys can't cure. I am different.'

Like that, holding Bartea, I ran to this dormitory. It wasn't that there was no one trying to stop this. What made them unable to move was Dwight.

'It is a place where His Majesty the King is present. There should be no further disturbance.'

Uncharacteristic of him, it was a polite tone. Though he must have harbored different thoughts inside.

'Will say this incident is also my doing.'

Doesn't matter whatever is said. Even if throwing some terrible picture drawn at me. Since it will be a stupid picture anyway. After appreciating that picture faithfully, I will tear it to shreds.

Everything the guy wanted and wished for.

"This is enough for him."

Olivier opened the bottle she brought and sprinkled it evenly on Piontek.

The potion permeated the skin and emitted a faint light. The pale complexion slowly returned. Deep wounds also filled up bit by bit.

"Ugh, precious Healing Potion. Price of a carriage."

Didn't contain much, but hugely expensive.

"What to do about her? That won't work with potion."

Bartea is trembling. Fingers and toes are full of tension, seems like they'll break if touched even slightly.

"Looking at condition...... seems ate something like drug. What is it?"

"Blue Opion."

"Ah, that...... Uh? Say again."

"Blue Opion."

Olivier's pupils shook severely. She urgently checked every corner of Bartea's body.

"No, where did she get that......."

Stopping speech Olivier stared at me. Gaze is somewhat strange.

"How did you know?"

"......Well. Blue and has spots so?"

"Don't answer clumsily. How did you know she ate Blue Opion?"

"Obtained Blue Poppy for opening exam. So looked up a bit. What is made with Blue Poppy."

Olivier catching wrinkles on forehead exhaled long breath.

"Are you sure Professor Keller gave it?"

"For now, has to be. Do you think differently Professor?"

Olivier scratching head made 'Ah, damn.' sound.

"Find first. Will become clear if found."

"None."

"Yes?"

"Looked, but disappeared. Without trace."

Moved expecting worst situation.

Olivier crumpling impression looked at Bartea worriedly. Though acting like gangster, seems professor is professor.

"Keller is perfect to ask about antidote or such. Of all things......."

"That is okay. Because I can solve it."

"By what means?"

Not unreasonable for Olivier to be dumbfounded.

"Good means."

Better to just show than this and that explanation.

I placed hand on Bartea's forehead.

Felt polluted mana circulating Mana Circle and flocking to forehead.

-For things like this, just burn with pure mana.

Alfred has treated one addicted to Blue Opion.

-Because using dirty mana, can't do. If pick and use clean mana like me.......

Recall him boasting for over hour saying treating patient. That hateful expression then.

'Should have beat him.'

Hateful thinking again.

Anyway, if burn polluted mana just as Alfred did, treatment is over.

"What intending to do?"

Seemed placing right hand on Baekhui acupoint was strange.

"To draw out polluted mana."

"What? Crazy?"

"Watch first."

"Watch what. If mana flocks to Baekhui acupoint brain might burst and die."

"Won't die."

Let's proceed before Olivier uses strength to stop.

Opening Mana Heart sent pure mana to right hand.

Polluted mana feeling pure mana, flocked to Baekhui acupoint squirming.

"Don't!"

"If touch trouble happens. Stay quiet."

Olivier trying to stop me withdrew hand. And grinding teeth muttered 'Just wait and see.'.

Right, wait and see. Touching for nothing and causing incident.

"Uuugh."

Bartea made sound perhaps painful. Seems feeling pain even unconscious.

'Endure a little.'

Pure mana and polluted mana tangled together. Spinning this.......

"Why? Why expression like that?"

"......."

"What? What went wrong?"

"Not that but......."

How to burn?

-Draw out from heart and call to fingertips. Other places dangerous. Must do to fingertips.

Extract like that and burn with pure mana. Easy right?

Ah...... made mistake.

Forgot because too old affair.

-No, that easy thing. Phew, just watch properly and follow, passing roughly and making me do, so problem happens right?

No, showing just once and telling person to try, does it make sense. One wrong move sends to afterlife.

"Not but what? Speak properly. Her condition is too bad!"

Bartea's face beyond pale is turning blue. Her eyes also turned dark blue. Fault of polluted mana flocking to Baekhui acupoint.

'Can't be helped.'

Will suffer a bit, but only this method now.

Focused mind on Mana Heart. Talisman operated opening mana path wide. Polluted mana followed hand entering body. Talisman emitting light sucking mana.

'Mana amount considerable.'

When Blue Opion first appeared, words exchanged whether it's elixir comparable to Elixir.

Since combat power difference between one eating Blue Opion and not in war was considerable.

'Let's eat. Even if upset stomach. There is there.'

If necessary mana becomes mine, will be elixir level elixir.

"Huu."

Taking deep breath opened Mana Heart. Polluted mana passing Talisman entered inside Mana Heart.

Heart beat loudly.

"Keuk."

As if squeezing polluted mana, Mana Heart contracted to bean size.

Mind becomes distant. Feeling walking in swamp emitting poison. Every step inside, unknown existence seems to glare at me drooling. To swallow in one bite when exhausted and collapsed walking, walking and walking again.

But impossible. Daring to aim at not other but me Maximilian Leonhardt. Ah, Caesar? Anyway aiming at me.

'Submit. You are my food.'

Mana Heart condensed to fullest expanded greatly. Following threw pollution out of Mana Heart.

Thrown things clumped together floating here and there inside body. Seemed looking for place to go out.

Good. Will tell way out.

"Keuheok!"

Vomited dark blue liquid. Not once, continuously....... This is a bit excessively much.

"Uueoeok."

"What? Okay?"

I flailed hand meaning tap back.

Good for body bitter to mouth said, but should be moderately bitter. Like this really dying.

"No, just what happening. Okay? Call doctor?"

Raised hand high with will of okay. Along with that vomiting stopped.

Oh my, beyond vomiting inside, almost saw what ate in past life.

"Huu, okay."

"Look not okay at all? Really...... okay right?"

"Just breath a bit short, all okay."

Not degree of okay. Very good. Polluted mana organized and organized settled completely inside Mana Heart. Mana Heart also became bigger and harder than before. Growth coming when exceeding limit. Would be great if grew naturally like breathing, always having to do bout like this to grow....... Still good.

'3rd Star?'

Resonance of Mana Heart is stronger than before. Must spur physical training.

"Strange?"

Olivier scanned me up and down.

"Feel like feeling changed suddenly? No, rather than feeling energy changed?"

Said 4th Circle? Being person reached some level, senses are sharp.

"Emptying inside makes nerves sharp?"

"......Could be. Then that kid? Uh?"

Bartea with blank eyes is looking at me and Olivier.

"H, here is where?"

At Bartea's words Olivier blinking eyes came close to me.

"Didn't lose memory because you played trick with Baekhui acupoint?"

"Didn't hear sound that doing that breaks memory......."

Seems no one said tried either. Moving mana to Baekhui acupoint breaks brain? Shouldn't happen.

"I here...... how came?"

Bartea examined surroundings with timid and anxious eyes.

Fierce spirit shown in stadium cannot be found. Seems personality twisted due to side effect of Blue Opion.

"Lost in match. Remember going to match?"

"Ah, yes. Hit by electricity...... yes."

"Right, fortunate. At least."

Olivier whispered 'Seems no memory after seizure. Rather good right?'.

I nodding approached Bartea.

"Let me ask one thing."

"Uh? Wh, what?"

"Anyone gave something like drug? Or even something like injection."

"......Don't know."

Really don't know?

No. To lose true nature and show extreme aggression, impossible with small amount.

Impossible even by taking mixed in food. Potion bottle sprinkled on Piontek, possible only by drinking undiluted solution of that amount.

"Really don't know?"

Bartea avoids my eyes.

Clear she remembers.

"Bartea. How about speaking honestly?"

"Wh, what honestly? Really don't know."

Bartea looked at Olivier with painful face.

"Right, seems don't know. Maxim."

Olivier shook head meaning stop.

By whose will?

"Killing a person and saying don't know ends it?"

"Maxim."

I ignoring stopping Olivier stared piercingly at Bartea.

"Uh, uh? Ki, kill? I, I, I?"

"Act committed in front of King. If intending to take blame alone continue pretending not to know."

Bartea's eyes shook greatly.

Olivier reading situation met eyes with Bartea.

"Have to speak to help."

"No, that is......."

Olivier holding Bartea's hand sent warm gaze. Truly, unmatching eyes.

"That is."

Bartea very carefully, trembling hand opened mouth.

"Person came with Professor Keller."

At word Keller Bartea's adam's apple moved greatly.

As expected Keller is involved. And human came together is clearly Uresra spy.

"Don't know exactly who. First time seeing person too......."

"When ate drug?"

"Before match started, said if eat fatigue disappears and can become strong......."

This much enough.

Guy will be in stadium. Because wanted to check drug effect with own two eyes. And if guy connected with Dwight, has no choice but to remain. Because Dwight wants it. Because figure who must exist in his picture.

"Check only features and find immediately."

To solve work easily, need guy in my picture too.

Really thankful appearing like this?
