chapter 58
Episode 58 – The emperor, the prime minister, and the repairman, everyone is confused
Perhaps this is the line most often used in the introduction of creative works?
“It’s an unfamiliar ceiling.”
I remember that it was a line that commonly appeared in creative works based on themes of regression, possession, and reincarnation.
But I never thought I would say this line…….
No, I lost consciousness and when I opened my eyes, a truly unfamiliar ceiling greeted me?
Anyway, the last thing I saw before I went down to the basement of the imperial palace and lost consciousness was… This is the third hammer blow to the corrupted holy sword Zebario.
Right after that, a sudden shock wave occurred, and I was caught up in it and lost my mind… It can be summarized to that extent.
What is the proof that I lost my mind?
The most objective evidence is the clothes I am wearing.
‘That means I’m wearing a patient gown.’
A white patient gown that is slightly stiff and smells like disinfectant.
Plus, my head feels a little stuffy. It looks like there’s a bandage wrapped around my head.
I tried to lift my hand to remove the bandage, but I felt pain every time I moved my body.
Is this the pain you feel when you get hit by a car and are sent flying and rolling on the ground?
I first turned my head and explored the surrounding environment.
I needed to know where this place was so I could plan what to do in the future.
One of the beds I was lying on. One table. Two chairs.
An object that looks like a basket containing simple first aid medications is placed on the table.
‘Am I still inside the imperial palace?’
I’m curious about how things happened after I lost my mind.
If you want to know the full story, you have no choice but to ask the Prime Minister or His Majesty the Emperor.
However, there is no way for me to contact them.
On top of that, the excruciating pain I felt throughout my body was stubbornly refusing to let me get off the bed.
When I try to move my legs even a little and get off the bed, I feel a stabbing pain and a surge of pain in my lower body.
Judging by the sensation felt in the lower part of the body, it means that the lower body is functioning properly…….
“Pathos The patient has been in bed for several days, right?”
“About three days…Mom!”
At that time, the door opened and two women who appeared to be nurses came in. When one of them saw me, she was startled and dropped the object she was holding.
What she was carrying was a small basket, which contained a glass bottle containing a liquid that appeared to be disinfectant, bandages, fixing pins, and scissors.
I think he may have come to change the bandage wrapped around my head.
“Pa, pathos patient? Are you awake?”
“Ah, yes. I woke up a little while ago.”
Nurses wearing white aprons over black one-piece dresses approached me.
Both of them were wearing armbands on their forearms, with red hearts embroidered on them.
My guess is that it is probably a sign of a nurse or someone working in the medical field.
“Please wait a moment. I’ll bring the doctor.”
The nurse who opened the door first left the room, saying she was going to call a doctor, and the nurse who had dropped the basket carefully picked it up.
By the way, how long do I have to stay like this?
‘Couldn’t I just use my body and use my abilities?’
I modified the bracelet and made it into a hammer just in case.
My arm couldn’t move much, but I used the wrist snap to hit my body three times with a hammer, hoping to fix it.
‘Oh, it’s still the same.’
But even when I hit the hammer on my body, nothing happened.
The pain I felt every time I moved my body was still the same.
Just as the saying goes, “I can’t cut my own hair,” It seemed like I couldn’t repair my body with my own abilities.
‘If I can repair my body with my own power, what other power can be more deceptive than that?’
If I ever get a chance to meet Epitrina again in the future, I will definitely ask her about how I can apply her powers to me as well.
If you look at the fact that you can’t fix your own body while fixing everything else, isn’t this also Epirina’s attempt to strike a balance in her own way? A thought suddenly occurred to me.
“Oh, oh, oh… Pathos patient? Are you really awake?”
“What did I say, gasp…You really woke up?”
While the nurse who dropped the basket was putting away all the items, the nurse who had gone to pick up the doctor showed up with the doctor.
“Phew, I’m glad you came to your senses. Can you move your body?”
“It’s a bit difficult to move because of the pain.”
“Hmm, the pain remains even after administering the elixir…”
“Yes?”
Hey, doctor.
Did I hear something wrong?
What did you just administer to me?
“Oh, don’t worry. We won’t charge the patient for the elixir.”
“No, that’s not it…”
“As His Majesty the Emperor has requested that we treat the patient with special care, one more bottle of elixir will be administered within a few days. Then, the pain that is currently plaguing the patient’s body will completely disappear.”
Apparently, the doctor administered the elixir because His Majesty the Emperor had requested special care and treatment.
‘But how badly am I injured that they need to administer the elixir?’
Elixir is a medicine that is so effective that it can revive people who are on the verge of death.
But if it was in a state where it was used on me, how badly was I hurt?
‘Wait a minute. But what happened to Zebario?’
If I recall for a moment, I clearly hit Zebario with a hammer three times.
After that, I lost consciousness due to the shock wave, but it is highly likely that it was because my ability was activated accurately.
“Once you get some rest, I will report to the Prime Minister right away.”
“I understand.”
I don’t know. I felt like I needed to get some rest now.
I closed my eyes and tried to sleep. When I wake up, someone will come to explain this situation.
◈◇◈◇◈◇◈◇◈◇◈
Emperor of the Gelevrian Empire, Descartes IV.
Bergen Steiler, Prime Minister of the Gelevrio Empire.
The two were currently having a conversation in the emperor’s office.
“The doctor said that although Pathos’ wounds on his body have fully recovered, he is unable to regain consciousness for some reason.”
What came out of Bergen Steiler’s mouth was about the health of pathos.
Pathos woke up, but the last thing he saw was him sleeping as if he had lost consciousness and died.
“So, are you saying there is a chance he will wake up?”
Decastro IV was worried about what would happen if pathos was not awakened.
Wasn’t he a benefactor who not only cured his own hair loss, but also solved a problem that had been passed down from generation to generation since his ancestors?
“First, I sent a letter to the Great Goddess Church and received a response.”
Bergen’s voice as he answered Descartes IV’s questions was weak.
“What did the Great Goddess Church say?”
“Archbishop Bertrand said, ‘Please tell the goddess that if you leave her alone, she will wake up on her own.'”
“Hmm. If Archbishop Bertrand says it, at least he’s not dead.”
“How about waiting for now?”
In response to Bergen’s words, Descartes IV simply nodded his head.
His condition was so critical that he had to use the elixir stored in the imperial palace.
“By the way, it was truly an amazing ability.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Bergen and Descartes IV. The two could never forget what they saw in the basement of the imperial palace.
“The holy sword that has been corrupted by the energy of the demon god…Disappears.”
“It is certain that the ability that Pathos possesses… Is not simply the ability to fix something.”
Other objects where Pathos’ ability has been used so far have been in the best condition.
However, unlike other objects, Zebario was engulfed in brilliant light when the ability of Pathos was used, and eventually disappeared, emitting a huge shock wave.
―Kgigigigigigigeek!!!
Even the sound Zebario made when he disappeared was like the howl of a devil.
The howling was so terrible that it felt like they could still hear that strange sound in their ears.
“Then, what do you think?”
“The ability Pathos received from the Great Goddess… I think it’s probably the power to return something to its ‘correct’ state.”
Bergen had his own guess about the power of pathos.
“Of course…That makes sense. However, he himself said that his ability is to be able to fix anything.”
“He seems to be an ability user with more mysterious abilities than any other ability user that has been revealed so far.”
“Jim thinks the same way.”
At that time when the two people were reasoning about the ability of pathos.
“Your Majesty. I am receiving a call from the director of the Imperial Medical Center.”
“What’s going on?”
“They say Mr. Pathos has woken up.”
“What?”
The news that Pathos had awakened reached the emperor’s office.
