I Became a Level -99 Vicious Lord - Chapter 234

*Shooooooo!!!*

The [Varuna’s Water Pillar] acted like a dehumidifier, drawing moisture from the surrounding area.

The power of Varuna’s Water Pillar spread throughout the twisted wilderness.

The result.

*Crack*

*clack!*

The monsters swarming the Twisted Wilderness rapidly lost moisture and turned into statues made of hardened mud.

That wasn’t all.

*Crack!*

 

*Crackle!*

 

Even the enormous head of Deucalion, which had risen from the ground, lost its moisture and turned into a statue made of hardened clay.

Sullivan’s claim that the [Varuna’s Water Pillar] was indeed a device to seal the evil deity Deucalion was no mere exaggeration.

With Deucalion hardening into a solid state, the situation was resolved for now.

They had succeeded in sealing the evil deity Deucalion.

However, Otto could not be satisfied.

*Oooh!*

Otto focused on the mana he possessed.

Drawing the last bit of Soul Energy from the Book of Carnage, he cast a final spell.

“प्…………”

In the next instant.

*Shhhh!*

A colossal sword of light, possibly hundreds of meters long, descended from the sky and struck Deucalion squarely in the head.

*Shhhh* *Thud* Thud* *Crash*

*Swoosh*

Deucalion’s head snapped in two and crumbled, producing a cloud of dust.

[Notification: Experience points have increased!]

After defeating Deucalion, his experience increases.

[Notification: Your level has increased!]

[Notification: Your level has increased!]

[Notification: Your level has increased!]

[Notification: Your level has increased!]

[Notification: Your level has increased!]

…….

[Notification: Your level has increased!]

Otto’s level skyrocketed in the blink of an eye.

But….

*Thud!*

Otto collapsed.

“Your Majesty!”

Camille rushed to Otto’s side.

“…….”

Completely unconscious, Otto showed no signs of movement.

Having used forbidden magic beyond his limits, he was completely exhausted.

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty!”

Camille tried to shake Otto awake but sensed that something was wrong.

‘He’s not breathing!’

Realizing that Otto wasn’t breathing, Camille quickly began performing CPR.

The repeated casting of forbidden magic beyond his limits had severely impacted his life force.

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty!”

Camille continued to perform CPR, but Otto still wasn’t breathing.

“Damn it!”

In a rush, Camille grabbed a handful of jelly from inside his pocket.

The jelly’s potency was so great that it could revive even a dying person.

However, if the jelly was given to someone not breathing…

‘He won’t be able to chew and swallow it. If his airway gets blocked, he’ll suffocate even if his heart starts beating again.’

However, there was too little time to consider alternative methods.

Camille knew from experience that people whose hearts had stopped for an extended period often struggled to return to normal, even if they revived.

So Camille decided to…….

*Gulp*

He quickly gulped down some water and chewed the jelly to dissolve it.

Then he slowly trickled the jelly juice down the side of Otto’s mouth.¹

The mixture of saliva, jelly juice, and water might have seemed very disgusting.

Moreover, considering the ingredients of the jelly, it would be difficult for even those with strong stomachs to endure.

But now was not the time to worry about such things.

If Otto couldn’t absorb the jelly’s ingredients, he might die of cardiac arrest.

A person’s life was important, filthy or not, it didn’t matter.

‘Please wake up! Please!’

Camille prayed fervently, continuing to trickle jelly juice over the edge of Otto’s mouth.

Finally,

*Blink!*

Otto opened his eyes.

“Uweeeeek!”

He then puked on Camille’s face.

“……”

Camille, who suddenly found himself with Otto’s vomit all over his face, tightly shut his eyes.

“Huh?”

Otto tilted his head, unable to understand what had just happened.

“W-What? Did I just… on Camille’s face?”

“Be… quiet.”

Camille replied, his eyes still tightly closed.

“It seems like I threw up…”

“Just don’t say anything.”

“…Huh?”

“Haa…”

Camille let out a long sigh and pulled out a handkerchief from his pocket to wipe his face.

Had it been someone else, they might have started cussing, but Camille endured with superhuman patience.

“I’m glad you woke up.”

Camille held out his hand toward Otto.

“I thought you were going to die like this.”

“I can’t die here.”

Otto took Camille’s outstretched hand and pulled himself to his feet.

“Did I pass out? I don’t remember it very clearly.”

“You went into cardiac arrest.”

“Oh?”

“I barely managed to save you.”

“R… Really?”

“When we return, please remember to thank the Senior.”

“Oh.”

Otto nodded, finally understanding the situation.

‘I must have used too much magic.’

It seemed that he’d run out of Soul Energy at the last minute, and his life force had been consumed in the process.

‘This thing is really dangerous.’

Otto shook his head and expressed his gratitude to Camille.

“Thanks to you, I’m alive. Thank you.”

“I just did what needed to be done.”

“How modest.”

Otto chuckled and walked alongside Camille.

“So the Great Flood will never occur anymore?”

“Probably not? Since Deucalion is dead.”

“That’s a relief, then. For the sake of the future generations.

“I think so too.”

Otto and Camille exchanged words as they walked toward Qasim’s wyvern group in the distance.

But….

*Wobble* *Thud*

Otto didn’t make it more than a few steps before he collapsed again.

The drain on his life force had been too severe and he was utterly drained.

Otto who was brought to the Lota Kingdom, remained unconscious for several days.

Otto’s condition was not good.

Though his heart was beating, Otto’s breathing was very weak.

The depletion of life force was greater than anticipated, leading to severe aftereffects.

While Otto was in a coma.

“It’s urgent to replenish his life force.”

Elise, who came to visit Otto, diagnosed his condition.

“Is the jelly not enough?”

Camille asked with a grave expression.

“The drain on his life force is so great that his ability to gather it is far from sufficient.”

“What do you suggest we do?”

“The jelly.”

Elise pointed to the jelly used to treat Otto.

“Can’t we make it more potent?”

“Huh?”

“To cure my fiancé right now, we need more than ten times the potency of the current jelly.”

“Th.. That is.”

Camille was taken aback.

The jelly is a miraculous elixir capable of reviving even those on the brink of death, it’s no exaggeration to say that there is no more powerful medicine in the world.

Yet, now they need a jelly elixir that is ten times more powerful?

That essentially meant it was nearly impossible to save Otto.

Where would they find something that was even more potent than the jelly?

“Miss, what you’re saying is…”

“Do you happen to know what the ingredients of the jelly are?” asked Elise.

“You mean the raw materials?”

“If we administer the raw ingredients in their pure form, it might be sufficiently possible.”

At that moment.

“…..”

“…..”

“…..”

Everyone keeping watch over Otto’s bed fell into silence.

‘The raw materials… Fuck!’

‘‘W…. We have to feed him that?!’

‘Holy Shit!’

The top officials of the Lota Kingdom knew all too well what the ingredients of the jelly really were.

“Why are you all reacting like that?”

Elise tilted her head in confusion, not understanding the situation.

“That.”

Camille spoke up with difficulty.

“Actually, the ingredients of the jelly…”

“….?”

Everyone keeping watch over Otto’s bed fell into silence.

‘The raw materials… Fuck!’

‘‘W…. We have to feed him that?!’

‘Holy Shit!’

The top officials of the Lota Kingdom knew all too well what the ingredients of the jelly really were.

“Why are you all reacting like that?”

Elise tilted her head in confusion, not understanding the situation.

“That.”

Camille spoke up with difficulty.

“Actually, the ingredients of the jelly…”

“…are”

Camille whispered into Elise’s ear, telling her who the manufacturer of the jelly was.

“…….”

Elise was momentarily at a loss for words, unable to say anything.

She was completely unaware that the jelly was made from something like that, leaving her speechless.

“Anyway, that’s fortunate.”

‘What’s fortunate?’

“If the ingredients are reliable… then curing my fiancé shouldn’t be too difficult.” Elise said.

‘Is it really a boon?’

“I’ll look into it for now.”

Camille smiled and left the room.

Why is he smiling?

Two days later.

Those gathered around Otto’s bed with serious expressions alternated their gazes between the bowl in Olive’s hand and Otto.

Olive, with great care and with Camille’s assistance, gently opened Orro’s mouth and carefully poured the raw jelly extract into Otto’s mouth.

Everyone watched the scene with bated breath for a moment.

*Gulp.*

“Mmmm, mmmm. Choco…”

“Oooh!!!”

“There’s improvement, Lady Elise!”

Shortly after the raw extract was administered, Otto showed some responsiveness.

Although it became quiet again, it was clear that Otto’s condition had improved.

That day, the devoted followers of Otto made sure he consumed an entire bowl of the raw extract.

The next day.

“…Ugh.”

Otto, who had been in a coma for quite some time, suddenly stirred and opened his eyes.

“Are you awake?”

Camille greeted Otto with a smile.

“This is…”

“A ward in the Royal Palace.”

“Ah.”

“You’ve been in a coma for a while now.”

“A… Am I going to be okay?”

“You’ll be fine.”

Camille flashed a reassuring smile.

‘Huh?’

Otto blinked rapidly, as Camille’s head momentarily appeared to have two small horns.

“Huh? Elise is here as well?”

Noticing Elise’s presence, Otto subtly started a conversation with her.

“T-That’s right.”

Elise avoided Otto’s gaze.

“You’ll recover soon. So hang in there a bit longer.”

“What…?”

Just then.

“Your Highness, it’s time for your medicine.”

The head maid, Olive, appeared and approached Otto with a humble demeanor.

Olive’s attitude towards Auto had completely changed.

The reason was simple.

As Otto showed signs of growing into a proper Lord, Olive decided to treat him like a King.

Understandably so, as Otto had changed significantly since then.

From being a rogue lord of a small country estate, he was now the king of a rising power.

Moreover, he was even being regarded as a virtuous ruler, respected by all the people.

Thus, Olive had no difficulty in acknowledging Otto with respect.

“Your Highness, you need to eat so you can regain your strength.”

“Uuuuhhh!”

Otto was disturbed by Olive’s 180-degree change in attitude.

“I… I’m sorry! Did I do something wrong?” stammered Otto.

“Why would you say that? This maid only strives to serve you to the best of my ability as the Head Maid.”

“Uhhh! Ooooh!”

If he could, Otto would have immediately gotten out of bed, knelt before Olive and begged her.²

Olive’s changed attitude was so unfamiliar that he simply couldn’t adjust to it.

“Your Majesty, it is time for your medicine.”

Olive, unaffected by Otto’s reaction, scooped up a spoonful of the thick, black liquid from the bowl.

Having just been made, the mysterious black and thick liquid emitted a white steam.

“Ah~ please take it.”

Olive scooped up a spoonful of the liquid and held it to Otto’s mouth.

“Wh… What is this?”

“Medicine.”

“What kind of… medicine?”

“A medicine that will replenish your strength, Your Highness, so please take it with your eyes closed.”

It was that moment.

‘Huh?’

The perceptive Otto looked at the expressions on the faces surrounding his bed and sensed something was amiss.

Camille was smiling.

Qasim and Peng were fidgeting nervously.

As for Elise, she had turned her head away as if she couldn’t bear to look.

“Pfft.”

Even the usually busy Archduke Wazir, who never showed his face, was smiling with an expression of interest.

‘This is a trap!’

Otto instinctively realized something was wrong.

‘I need to get out of here….’

Just then.

*Clasp*

Olive held Otto’s chin and forced his mouth open.

“Hmm! Hmmmm! Hnngg!!”

Otto struggled, but it was no use.

*Snap!*

Olive’s grip was beyond imagination, strong enough to crush steel with her bare hands.

No matter how formidable Otto was, he couldn’t withstand Olive’s terrifying strength in his depleted state.

** ** **

TL/N:

1. Poor Otto after being careful of not being in harm he finally get to experience Old man Quran’s specialty “Jelly”

2. Head Maid Olive has a Barbarian lineage so she is pretty much like a “Hulk” version in physique, just female.
