성황의 아이들 [2]

240. Sword Master (4)

Director Bruno, who had left Seongjin behind, soon returned. He was accompanied by Gustav, a priest who specialized in healing.

"I mainly focus on trauma, so my divine power itself is not strong. If you don't have any special trauma, wouldn't it be better to bring in another priest?"

Gustav said with a disapproving look on his face. There is a feeling of dissatisfaction with the outsider who bothered to drag him in while there were urgently injured people one after another.

How could the prince, who was surrounded and protected by knights, be in a hurry to find a priest?

But Bruno's attitude was firm.

"There is no time for that. Please hurry."

Prince Mores looked exactly as Bruno had seen him reclining under the watchtower. Just the fact that his head was hanging down was quite ominous.

Gustav, who then realized that the situation was unusual, straightened his expression and hurried his steps.

"Lowering."

Bruno approached cautiously and shook the prince. But didn't the body that was shaking helplessly collapse into Bruno's arms?

"......!"

The prince's face, revealed as he collapsed, was as pale as a dead person.

Bruno's heart sank.

"Lowering!"

They quickly laid the prince down on the floor and checked his condition.

"Why is there blood...."

Although he was greatly embarrassed by the sight of the prince's face, blood dripping from his eyes, Gustav soon came to his senses and began to pour out his divine power.

Fortunately, the heart did not stop at all, and the pulse was regained occasionally.

However, it was too precarious to be a proper beat; it seemed as if it was nothing more than a meaningless contraction of the heart, which was bound to tremble intermittently just before it stopped.

"What on earth happened to you? In order to treat, we need to know the cause."

Bruno shook his head in confusion at Father Gustav's question. Because no matter how much I thought about it, I had no idea.

It was just that my condition had been steadily worsening since morning, so I just assumed that my fatigue was building up.

"It's not enough for me alone. I think my heart will stop soon. I think I need the help of other priests."

At Gustav's serious voice, Bruno nodded and tried to get up to ask for help.

"omg......?"

And I was so startled that I sat down. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a woman covered in blood was staring down at them.

Blood was even dripping from the ugly curved sword she was holding.

"...Lord Sharon?"

Bruno barely recognized the familiar figure. It seems that she was so distracted that she didn't realize she was approaching.

Because she was covered from head to toe in the blood of a demonic beast and I couldn't even sense her presence, even if it was just for a moment, I really thought she was a ghost.

"iced coffee......!"

But the exorcist did not answer his call.

Sighing softly, she threw the curved sword on the floor and grabbed the prince's hand. My face, which was already pale, turned pale like never before.
