Doctor Player - Chapter 268

Chapter 268

“I’m going to bind them to Sarance Castle, and then I’m going to summon the Realm of Death to Sarance Castle. Then they will be trapped and die a horrible death.’

Death Territory!

It is an “ultimate” type of dark magic that can only be used by Arc Mage-level warlocks, and it literally turns a certain area into a land of death.

“In my current state, it would be a big deal to use the Realm of Death, but I can’t help it. I have to catch them.”

Two.

It was the time it took to prepare for the black magic.

The worst of death would come, and they were about to die.

The black darkness let out a satisfied laugh.

* * *

The group was faced with a choice.

‘Do we stay to save the holy people, or do we flee?’

‘Damn, what can I do?’

Raymond swallowed.

‘I can’t leave them behind, and I’m afraid to stay.’

The biggest dilemma was that it might be worth trying.

Raymond looked down at the castle.

They don’t know if the guess was correct that they were in a state of disempowerment, but the number of undead wasn’t very large. In particular, there were no high-level undead.

With the help of a group of people, it is enough power to stop it.

On the other hand, without the help of the group, all the people here will be killed.

The problem was the machinations of the Black Darkness.

Is that the end of the crude army of the undead?

‘What if the Black Darkness is preparing a terrible trick behind the scenes? I didn’t know what dangers were coming.’

The group agreed.

“It’s dangerous. The people of Houston are sorry for the future of Catal. We can’t take risks.” Christine said coldly on behalf of the company.

“The Master wants to save the people of this place at all costs.”

And of course she feels the same too.

But the life of Raymond, the crown prince, came first.

That’s when Elmud stepped up.

“My lord, if you are worried about them, I will stay and fight!m!”

Mien meowed as if he was ready to fight with him, and Ren and Rune also raised their swords and staffs.

Even if they took risks, they should avoid Raymond being harmed.

‘…… Stop making noise, you idiots. It’s even more disturbing.’

Raymond sighed.

Would he even dare run away, leaving them alone?

It was ridiculous.

At that moment, Princess Jude, who had been silent, said something unexpected.

“Master, and gentlemen. May I ask you a favor?”

“……?”

Everyone looked at Princess Jude.

Princess Jude had a white complexion and clenched her fists.

“Master, you should leave the Sarance castle at once. Go to the castle of Exile, which is next to the Loktar region, and bring in reinforcements.”

Everyone’s eyes widened.

“Your Highness, what do you mean?”

“I’m going to stay here and fight alongside the people.”

“……!”

Raymond said in surprise.

“But Princess? What if you do that?”

“Yes, I know. I could die with them. But I’m the crown princess of the Kingdom of Catal. They are my people. I can’t leave them alone.” Jude said determinedly.

‘If I had been before, I wouldn’t have dared to think of this.’

Jude looked at Raymond.

A short time with him.

When she saw his devotion, she realized a lot and changed.

“Even if I die, I’ll protect them.”

Just like Raymond has shown so far.

This time, she’s going to fight.

Of course, she didn’t mean to put Raymond and the others in harm’s way.

‘This is the Catal Kingdom, we can’t endanger them.’

Raymond, in particular, is the one who will be the light that will illuminate the continent.

Therefore, he was the only one who would take the risk for the sake of the people.

“I’ll try to hold on somehow, so I need you to bring in reinforcements by then.”

Jude’s words silenced the group.

‘What shall I do?’

Raymond bit his lip.

If she left like this, Princess Jude would be dead.

That was the end of his plan to get the Dragon Heart.

In addition, the lives of people in Sarance Castle, more than 1,000 people, will be lost.

It was horrible.

‘It’s not an emotional decision.’

Lives are at stake.

‘What shall I do?’

As he was thinking about it, an idea popped into his mind.

‘Wait. I have the attributes to help them with  the current situation.’ Raymond exclaimed to himself.

‘Temporary job change! To the military doctor class!’

Military Doctor Class Re-Job!

As one of the perks he received the other day, he was able to temporarily re-change jobs to a special class in case of war or disaster.

[Costs 300 Skill Points!]

[Temporarily serving as a “Military Doctor” class! The Battlefield Guardian Physician affix is now manifested!]

‘It was good.’

Guardian Doctor of the Battlefield!

It was an attribute that helped him during the war against the Kingdom of Droughton.

Indeed, the expected effect was achieved.

[In times of crisis, you do more than you can do!]

[Intellect stat increased by 10!]

[You will be able to make a sober judgment!]

Increased intellect.

And sober judgment.

When the two effects worked in harmony, they had a great effect.

His horizons, narrowed by fear, widened. And he began to think calmly, as if he was a strategist on the battlefield.

‘Yes, I’m not grunting. I need to get to the bottom of the dark and make the right decisions.’

What is the Black Darkness aiming for in the current situation?

“They can’t hurt us with those legions of the undead anyway. So, what is the true intent of the Black Darkness?’

Raymond recalled what he had researched before he came here.

He was reminded of the tricks of the Black Darkness during the rebellion.

Soon Raymond’s eyes widened.

‘Really? Is this really what the Dark is after?’

Raymond clenched his fists.

He wasn’t sure.

But what if his guess is correct?

‘Then maybe it will be a big blow from the Black Darkness.’

Raymond swallowed.

The scales ticked in his head.

Gamble or run away.

Concluding, Raymond said.

“Mien, go to the castle where you escaped. You’re the fastest, so call in reinforcements.”

“……!”

“I’ll defend the castle with you.”

Everyone looked at Raymond in amazement.

Raymond gritted his teeth.

‘I’m not sure what I’m guessing. But it’s worth the walk.’

He didn’t make this decision blindly.

He calculated the benefits and made his decisions.

‘If my guess is correct, I can become a hero who triumphs over the darkness.’

Above all, 1,000 lives could have been saved.

That alone was enough to make it worth the fight.

So Raymond decided to protect the people.

* * *

After that, the siege began, and fierce fighting ensued.

Kiaa

The undead began to climb the walls, making horrible noises.

The sight of skeletons, corpses, and monsters clinging to the walls was terrifying, but the people of the castle were also formidable.

Everyone mustered up their courage and stood up against the undead.

“Let’s fight! The Holy Son is with us!”

“Long live Saint Raymond! Long live Princess Jude!”

Of course, it was thanks to Raymond and his crew that they were able to muster up the courage to do so.

Especially Jude.

Her performance was dazzling.

“Everyone, don’t back down! I will fight with you!”

“Waaah!”

With a bow in one hand, she was at the forefront of the city wall to confront the monsters.

The way she fluttered her short silver hair and shot arrows reminded them of a young general.

‘…… I’m afraid to go near the walls. You are gifted with the qualities of a crown princess.’

Raymond nodded in admiration.

Jude is the most important quality of an heir to the throne.

She had a heart for her people.

She also knew how to take the lead for them.

‘She has great leadership skills to lead the people.’

She took the lead in the fight, and the people who were moved were also fighting against the monsters with all their strength.

And Jude wasn’t the only one on the wall.

There was a woman who was as impressive as she was.

It was Christine.

She, like Jude, was born with the qualities of a leader.

With her superior swordsmanship, she slashed down monsters that climbed the walls, and led people to confront them.

The performance of these two women was as if the beautiful Valkyries had descended from heaven for the poor people.

“Thank you, princess.”

In a few moments, Jude approached Christine, wiping the sweat from her forehead.

Christine shook her head.

“Not really.”

“I was actually jealous of the princess.”

“What?”

Jude smiled faintly.

“When I heard the rumors before, I was so envious of the princess who played so well next to my master that I admired.”

It was unexpected.

Jude said with a smile.

“Someday I’ll be like him. I will learn to care about the people, especially my patients, and I will be much better than I am now.”

Christine was silent for a moment.

She felt like it wouldn’t take long for her to chase her.

Meanwhile, Raymond, who heard this from behind, looked dazed.

‘…… I think you’ve already exceeded me in your heart for your patients. I’m too scared to stand out. Terrible disciples.’

Unaware of Raymond’s feelings, the two women said:

“One day, I will be the disciple who imitates Master the best.”

“…… the best. That sounds like a challenge. I, too, struggle to emulate the Master.”

Thus the two women decided to have a friendly rivalry, and perhaps stimulated by each other, they worked all the harder for the people.

And they weren’t the only ones on the action.

Elmud.

He wasn’t the type of leader who led the people, but he had overwhelming swordsmanship.

Also, if it’s the second one, it’s a hot-blooded idiot!

‘My lord! I will fight on your behalf!’

With that in mind, they resolutely repelled the monsters, and Rune and Ren also showed their skills to face the monsters.

So what is Raymond doing?

Raymond also played a role in his part.

He raised the palace from afar and boosted morale.

Of course, he was just holding it, and he couldn’t go to the front to fight because he was scared, but it was very effective.

“The Holy Son is watching us!”

“Let’s be brave!”

The people were full of courage just to know that Raymond, the protagonist of the Holy Palace, was with them.

But that wasn’t all.
