I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot

Chapter 1869: 24.130 Sixth Violet Star - Prototype Elixir

In the command center’s clinic

Almost all of the soldiers who fought at the gates were now lying on the bed and some even mutated and were killed on the spot. As for the Marshal, Long Tian, there wasn’t any wounds on his body as his main beast sacrificed itself not only taking most of the aftereffects of force berserk and his master burning his lifespan for power but also gave his ability to turn his skin to metal to its master before it died during the assimilation of abilities.

That’s why the marshal’s current state except for losing his main beast, and his lifespan shortened by a few years, he is still alive when he is supposed to be dead. The military doctors had waited for their comrades to turn before killing them. Some even killed themselves before they became undead. The atmosphere in the clinic was forlorn and full of sadness. One can even hear muffled cries within the crowd.

If not for the return of the others from left for the clean up, the ones at the command center would most likely surrender. After all, there is nothing to lose anymore and their children longed to be brought somewhere safe. As long as those children are alive, the human race will not be extinct. There is also no news about the small villages and towns within the human territories.

But most of these small habitats for humans were safe as the source of chaos sprouted from the main city itself. The one that is most affected is the main city in which more than half of its original population had either turned to an undead or were eaten by those undead.

It was already afternoon when the marshal had woken up from his slumber. When Long Tian opened his eyes, he saw the familiar white ceiling with the linger scent of blood and medicine. He immediately knew where he was and turned his head looking for someone and saw one doctor who seemed to be napping. Beside the doctor a nurse was about to place a blanket over when it noticed that the marshal was awake and exclaimed loudly awakening the sleeping doctor.

”LORD MARSHAL!”

Clang!

This is the sound of the chair falling on the ground and the doctor suddenly standing up in surprise. The doctor immediately looked for the marshal who was under his supervision.

”The marshal is awake!? Wait, let me check on him!”

”Doctor, that’s the door.” The nurse said.

The doctor felt embarrassed and said, ”Let me wash my face first.”

After a few minutes the doctor came out of the restroom all refreshed and checked on their marshal. They can see him trembling as he forces himself to move his body. But as if he is paralyzed, Long Tian can move a hand but it badly shakes as if he is suffering from some other illnesses.

Cough!

”What is wrong with me?” A hoarse voice came out from the marshal’s mouth as he slightly parted his lips.

Hiss!

He twitches in pain as his lips cracks from the force of opening his mouth to speak. His lips had been so dry that it wouldn’t be surprising that one might mistaken him for a dehydrated person. However, in the marshal’s case, this is just his lips being closed for a long time that it was stuck together. The nurse hurriedly dubbed a wet cotton bud to lighten the crack on the marshal’s lips and treat his bleeding lips with an ointment.

On the other hand, the doctor was checking him all over again before telling the patient about his state.

”Marshal, I hope you listen to this old man properly. Right now all your organs are on the verge of failure.”

”Maybe because your state needs to burn some blood, you are now anemic.”

”Also you have lots of cracks on your bones when you were first brought here and the healers did their best to at least keep both our legs and arms intact. They would allow you to stand like an ordinary person but to fight like before you will need months to return to full health.”

”Plus... Your lifespan is greatly affected. You can only live ten years more unless you eat something that is able to extend your life and heal the wounds from within.”

”I’m sorry, Marshal. We did everything we could.”

The current marshal upon hearing this news didn’t look surprised. He was a man who was about to sacrifice his life for humanity. The only reason he didn’t die was all because he was saved by his father at the last moment. He seats up with trembling hands. The doctor and the nurse helped him up, unable to bear seeing such a weak marshal.

The Marshal said, ”Tell someone from the command center to meet me.”

The doctor pinched his nurse who hurriedly understood what happened and ran out to call someone. After the nurse had left the doctor continued to watch over the state of the marshal which is not only fragile but extremely at that.

The doctor said, ”Marshal, you truly couldn’t fight at your body’s current state.”

”... If I don’t fight, who would?” The marshal said.

The old doctor sighed helplessly. He knew that this patient is hardheaded and would most likely not listen to his reminders. He pulled something in his pocket which he had been hesitatingly holding the whole time. In the end, he pulled it out and gave a small vial to the marshal.

”These are just prototype elixirs from the borders. This was made after the doctors from the borders got that pill from the old marshal,” The doctor said.

This is secretly sent to him by his lover from the borders. It was supposed to be kept secret but worried about him, his lover sent half of his part to him. There were three in total and according to the letter once three vials were used it would no longer be effective unless a new concoction was made. He kept one for himself, and gave the two to the marshal.

The marshal stares at the two vials of medicine created from the pill that was supposed to be eaten by his father but gave it up for the future of humanity. It seems that they were on the right track as it’s only been a week since those madmen got the pill but already created a prototype.

The doctor explained, ”It’s not complete healing like the original pill but it would at least keep your body returned to the state which is considered peak which is a few hours ago, at most the state of your body from half a day before. Of course, this couldn’t restore your burned lifespan but it could at least restore your body and stop the organ failure and all. I suggest that you take one now.”

The marshal looked at the vials and asked, ”How many hours since I was brought here and I was asleep, including the time I fought.”

”Hm... 8 hours?” The doctor estimated.

The marshal said, ”Then I won’t drink it yet.”

”Are you crazy!!!?” The doctor exclaimed in disbelief. ”Are you trying to kill yourself!?”

This is the scene the nurse and the aide of the marshal had witnessed when they arrived at the clinic. They witnessed the old doctor jumping up and down in anger while the marshal was expressionless acting deaf before the noisy old doctor.

The Marshal who was ignoring the doctor noticed them and said, ”You are here. I want to talk to you alone. Doctor, please lend us the room.”

”Hmp! You brat who is seeking death! I don’t care about you anymore!!!”

The doctor slammed the door closed after pushing his nurse out of the room with him. Silence descended in the clinic while the marshal was still as calm as before.

The marshal, Long Tian, looked at his aide who was holding a tablet and said, ”You know what I want to see.” He reached out wanting to take the tablet but his aide avoided his hand.

”What’s the meaning of this?!” A menacing aura comes from Long Tian as his face becomes hideous in rage.

The aide trembled and said, ”Marshal, how about drinking one of those vials from the doctor first. Then I will give you the recording.”

Under the Marshal’s bloodshot glare the aide remained unmoved. He heard everything from the nurse about the situation of their marshal and how bad it was. He was also informed about the special elixir from the doctor and could somehow guess that the marshal would not want to waste it for himself. However, as their leader, Long Tian cannot fall now. Even though it was a bit cruel to force him like this, this soldier cannot allow a weakened leader to lead them, they needed someone strong enough to garner hope for their race.

The marshal stared at the tablet and gave up, he drank one of the vials which is filled with the prototype elixir. As it entered his body a slight refreshing taste and feeling spread all over his body and Long Tian could feel his strength returning. The heaviness he felt looming all over his body faded under the effect of the medicine and his complexion turned a bit better than better.

Long Tian said, ”Now, give me the recording!”
