Parallel World Pharmacy

Volume 2 - Ch 16.2

At that time, Falma stayed above in the sky of the imperial capital. It is to grasp completely the numbers of patients infected by the pest.

When he looked around the city with his Diagnosis Eye, he saw the blue light dwelling in the patients even penetrating through the buildings.

They are infected, but it is all in the latent period. There are no symptoms yet.

The pest bacteria, as long as the medication starts at an early stage, it is not so frightening.

If medicine were given to everyone who is currently in the latent period within 1 to 2 days, with the Disease Destruction Sanctuary, and the quarantine stations functioning properly, the imperial capitals black plague could be terminated within a month.

The casualties tooalthough there might be some, it would be kept to a minimum.

Ill end it before the outbreak starts!

It should not become a pessimistic situation, theoretically. Although wishful thinking is also included.

n?

He felt a cold shiver that it was as if his body was pierced and uneasiness, and Falma looked towards the Different World Pharmacy.

There are blue lights intense flickering on the fourth floor, one big and one small, and from there, a thin human shaped light had oozed out.

It was just right now.

Why, in the fourth floor?!

He tried to hurry to that place without leaving a second, and Falma became speechless.

In the fourth floor, he saw that there is a completely black shadow lurking.

It was the oblivion abyss, as if all of the worlds shadows have condensed, it was as if, one would get sucked in by merely looking at it.

What, what is that! Dark, shadow

(Is that, my elder brother, little sister, and the priests call as, evil spirit?)

Falma flinched. Lets say that evil spirit exists, but he does not have the knowledge to banish them.

That is the work of priests.

However, the blue light of the patient who has stopped moving in the pharmacys fourth floor turns to violet, and gradually turns to red. It was a dangerous sign that it would be too late in minutes.

Why is it this fast! This isnt the pest. What?! Is it poison?!

It is true that there are a lot of toxic substances required in the experimental synthesis process in the medical storage in the Different World Pharmacys fourth floor. But even so, he did not leave immediately potent poison in the case where there is an emergency or robbery. He placed the dangerous ones in the locked, sturdy medical storage.

The evil spirit with a dark shadow, did it make the patient drink something in the laboratory.

Ridiculous, although he is still thinking of that, Falma asked the Diagnosis Eye. It is foolish to get close without thinking.

Poisoning!

There is a reaction from the shining blue light. As he thought, it looks like it was poison.

Potassium Cyanide

He doubted that it might be cyanide that has an immediate effect, but it was wrong. He started again.

Inorganic Compound

Wrong.

Organic Compound

Theres a reaction.

Alkaloid

Classifying it roughly from a huge cluster and narrowing it down, he will be able to find it for sure, but there are numerous varieties of poison. It is not something that he could guess by luck. Because he could see the blue light from a wound, he could guess that its a poison arrow, or the poison entered through the wound.

Falma continued to narrow down the alkaloids. He is not making a random guess. He is mentioning the deadly poison of quick-acting alkaloids(naturally derived organic compounds), as far as his memory knows.

On top of that, it is mostly from ones that could be easily obtained in this world.

Aconitine

The blue light became thinner. Aconitine is the toxic component contained in Aconitum(wolfs bane). It is a deadly poison that Falmas father have used exclusively to patients as an antipyretic drug, but it is something that isnt in Falmas laboratory.

And, there is no detoxification method for this poison!

Damn it!

He cannot make an antidote. It is also too late for gastric irrigation. It is too late for symptomatic treatment.

If so!

He used the erase ability on his right hand.

Erase Aconitine(C34H47NO11)!

Erasing the deadly poison from faraway.

It would be too late to heal the patient from the poison after defeating the evil spirit. The patient will die.

Thats why after Falma had detoxified it from far away, he planned to exorcise(?) the evil spirit.

The structure of Aconitine is very complicated, but fortunately, unlike his creation ability, he only needs to chant the chemical formula or the name/alias of the compound the erase ability will erase it. However, the blue light has yet to disappear. Although, it has become thinner.

Theres still something!

It looks like it was a combination of several poisons.

He mentions mainly those which are used in poison arrows. He was doubtful, but he still mentions one of them.

Batrachotoxin

The neurotoxin of the poison dart frog matched. This poison, it is not known in any medical book in this world.

After all, there is no poison dart frog in this world.

(Why, something like this. I cannot even think of it, and I cannot do something like that)

Falma felt cold shivers. There is only a fine line between poison and medicine.

If the correct knowledge of medicine is misused, it could be poison as well.

The dark shadow, it might be an evil spirit that exceeds the common sense of the people of this world.

Erase Batrachotoxin(C31H42N2O6)!!)

The detoxification is finished. The human shaped blue light disappeared, and only its position was lighted. One of the two lives were saved although there is a small wound.

Falma prepared himself, and this time for sure, he charged towards the evil spirit.

He entered crashing through the laboratorys open window on the fourth floor.

The tall intruder who is clad in black robes and covered his face with a hood was there, turning away from Falma.

I feel a bad presence. There is the presence of strong light

After the man had turned around with awkward movements that were as if his body would creak, he opened his mouth. It was a viscous voice, one that would stick in ones ears. He is releasing an intense odor reminiscent of a rotting odor.

Did you come to interfere? What a fool, all humans die

The man asked a disturbing question. The man took off his hood with one hand.

The skull of the man could be seen from the left half of his face, and his skin was rotting blue. It is a blue-haired man without a left eye.

With that appearance, Falma guessed.

Youdont tell me, are you Kamyu

It is the person that Falmas father kept an eye on as the culprit. The one that the Holy Knights of Nedale Kingdom unquestionably believe as an evil spirit.

Indeed, I am

He pointed towards Falma with joy with his finger that was almost just a bone.

He is not a human, he is a corpse in the shape of a person.

Uuuu

The ones who have collapsed on the laboratory floor are Cedrick and Lotte. Cedrick has collapsed as if to cover Lotte. Groaning could be heard. Falma was able to detoxify from a far distance, but there is a small stab wound on his back.

It is not a fatal injury. After Falma defeats the evil spirit, he can begin treatment for the two.

What have you done

The next instant when Falma looked at them, Kamyu is holding a vial with its lid open.

This laboratory is amazing. There are these many unknown toxinswhat is this? How interesting

There is plenty of liquid and crystal in the vial. It is the powder of white phosphorus that Falma prepared for synthesis, it is something that Falma made with substance creation and stocked in the locked medical storage. White phosphorus ignites spontaneously when exposed to air, so it is immersed in water in the vial.

I came to see the death disease diffusion experiment in the imperial capital, but in passing. Lets experiment what happens when to skin with this poison

He held the bottle containing white phosphorus above the face of Lotte. If he tilts that vial, Lottes face would burn with the white phosphorus, and that flame would not disappear. The burns of white phosphorus are deep and difficult to recover. She will have severe chemical burns.

It seems that Kamyu wants to try it quickly to see how toxic it is.

While, she is still alive.

And that, Falma did not let him.

Before Kamyus hand moves, Falma reaches out his hand towards the white phosphorus.

Erase White Phosphorus (P4)

The crystal disappeared. There are no more toxic things inside the vial.

Do not hurt people with my reagent! That kind of thingpeople do not call it as experiment

Using toxic chemicals, just to try the effects on people.

That is only a horrible cruelty, blasphemy against science and pharmacology.

Its impossible. Only you

Silently holding his anger, Falmas voice trembled.

Lotte who raised her eyelids after her consciousness returned with the poison was removed from her body was startled with Falmas voice.

I cannot heal you

Lotte fell into the illusion that an unseen power manifested. The weight of the air increased. Lotte is unable to let out her voice, all that she could do was to swallow her breath in prostration. It was because it seemed like it was not Falmas voice. It was a kind of voice, that another person made. One with sadness and anger compressed to its limit.

Lotte has never seen him angry.

But evenso, right now, she clearly felt it. She clearly felt that he was angry.

So whaubhu?!!

After Falma had clenched his fist, he charged with godly speed. Faster than Kamyu swinging his poisoned knife, quicker than he thought, he smashed Kamyus face.

Falma felt that he needed to eradicate this evil existence with all that he had.

The evil spirit who was punched with a fist with concentrated divine powers without warning lost his face.

Towards the evil spirit, Falmas left hand of erasure ability worked automatically.

Kamyu was sent flying at high speed crashing through the window on the other side of the laboratory on the fourth floor, and was blown out of the pharmacy with many rubble and debris.

Falma flew using the Medicine Gods Staff and left himself to that acceleration.

In the sky, Falma focused strength on his fist once again.

The instant Kamyu received that fist, this body was destroyed by the impact, making its shape warped.

Falmas right hand pulsates and throbs.

The torso was crushed.

The body became, hot, acquiring heat, and with that fist, another strike.

He crushed him with his fist. The rotten meat became fragile and scattered, became ash, and disappear wrapped by white purification light.

Disappear!

Falma brandishes the Medicine Gods Staff which was clad with a shock wave high to the sky, and pierces the air at once.

The evil spirit was unable to attempt any resistance, the essence of its existence was penetrated, rupturing thoroughly from the inside.

It was skewered while it fell down, impaling to the ground.

Ughaahiii!

The ground gave in to the Falmas divine powers making waves, and finally, it could not bear the pressure, making a giant crater in an instant.

The Medicine Gods Staff shines sharply and the rainbow colored ultra-high temperature flame completely enveloped Kamyu.

Even the bedrock in the alley was burned bright red.

this is death, huh

While being enveloped with flames, Kamyu said his last words.

That was something that the man possessed by an evil spirit, waited for so long.

The shadow inside Kamyu was pierced by the Medicine Gods Staff and struggled for some time, but gradually disappeared.

Together with the disappearance of the black mass, the mans body breaks apart and became ashes, and scatters in the wind.

Stupidbastard

After sending him away, Falma felt emptiness.

Kamyus brains and talents far exceeded the standard of this world. If those knowledge, information, and discoveries were used, he wondered how many people might have been healed.

He should have become a pharmacist whose name is written in history.

However, he did not.

He was too wicked. And that wicked heart, a more wicked existence was called upon.

The townspeople who have evacuated to the stores when the warning bells rung again fearfully opened the windows due to the loud sound earthquake-like impact that they felt very near, and saw a child whose face cannot be seen, hidden by his hood, holding a transparent staff, standing alone in the middle of the crater.

W-What the heck just happened?

There was no one who determined the truth.

The suns rays of light peeked between the clouds, and the sky became clear. The kind and warm wind, it flows down from the heavens as if to heal the San Flueve imperial capital.

Falma-sama

While enduring the pain from her stabbed back, Lotte went down the stairs of the pharmacy. One step at a time, as if to ascertain her gait, she approached Falma. *Pota*, *Pota*, the bloodstains followed her steps.

Falma had his head drooping.

And, Lotte looked up to him with her eyes almost overflowing with tears, and embraced him.

Welcome back

No more words were needed right now.
