Chapter 13 - Speed

Knight: Let the viewing of the surgeries begin!!
Bring in the first patient!!!

Insert: Risking everything, the emergency surgery on which his "fate" rests begins!!


Page 02

Heretic: ...No
Please spare me...

Heretic: I don't wanna die...!!!

Buzz: Th-
That's the "first patient"
that the Church has prepared...?
Why're they tying him up there...?

Pope: Hey Asklepios... You may think me a worrier
but I want to check our agreement once again, before you start your surgeries


Page 03

Pope: Until we're convinced, you'll continue to operate on patients that we prepare for you...
And if you fail to save one, you'll return the Biblos to the Church immediately
Am I right?

Buzz: ...Yes
You have my word...

Pope: That's fine then...
Hey, get ready

Pope: This man is a "heretic", just like you
and we were planning to put him to the stakes today
but we've changed his punishment to an execution by the firing squad...

Pope: Do it


Page 04

Pope: When the sand in this hourglass falls completely,
our head doctor would check for a pulse in the heretic


Page 05

Pope: If he's dead, you lose...
If you call yourself an "Asklepios", let's see you bring him back to life
C'mon, you better hurry!!!

Buzz: ...When I'm done treating him
is this man gonna be executed again...?!

Pope: Hmm? Oh
If you revive him, we'll let him go
Go for it young heretic, we'll be cheering you on!!


Page 06

Buzz: I'm glad to hear that...!!!

Doctor: ...Really
I fail to see the point of this entertainment

Doctor: There are no records of a man executed by arms being brought back to life
He's only going to mess around with the corpse...
What a disgusting display

Pope: Haha... Don't say that Nero
As a doctor, that may be your thoughts
but look, the bishops seem really interested


Page 07

Nero: But your eminence... Can the Asklepios be so easily trusted?
Just because he fails the surgery, there's no guarantee he'd return us the Biblos...

Pope: Hahaha
Think about it...

Pope: The Pact of Biblos doesn't require much
They only had to take someone's blood like a "ripper" and simply fill the pages in different writings
But these Medills...

Pope: It seems they've been seriously gathering blood signatures, one for each patient they've cured
for half a century
It must be their pride as the doctors they claim to be...

Pope: It's unlikely that boy would go against his words
He may be a heretic, but he can be trusted in this regard...

Nero: ...What in the world is this secret of the Biblos
that he has found out...?

Pope: Oh? You wanna know?

Nero: Y- yes...

Pope: Of course you'd want to know... anyone'd be curious!!


Page 08

Pope: But you don't need to know
I'm warning you, stay out of this...

Nero: I- I'm sorry...!!!


Page 09

Text: There are 8 wounds in total... None of the great vessels have been damaged but
because there are so many wounds, he's losing blood quick
If this goes on...

Text: The blood
There won't be enough blood...

Text: I don't have enough time to be treating his wounds one by one...!!!

-Snake Column-
A male adult of about 60kg has about 4L of blood circulating in him!!
Loss of more than half of that (i.e. 2L) would result in death...!!

Snake: Long time no see

Text: Dad... What should I do?
I don't know...

Text: Please tell me,
Dad...!!!

Thug: What're you saying, Buzz...


Page 10

Thug: Even back when Rosary got shot
you did it, didn't you...?

Thug: If the patient's gonna die if you don't hurry,
you just have to hurry even more...


Page 11

Bishop #1: ...This
is absolutely stupid

Bishop #1: Why prepare an hourglass when we can just capture him now?

Bishop #2: Now... don't say that
It'd fun watching the heretic make an attempt at the impossible

Viterius: ...What fools
I guess the only ones aware of his true skills

Viterius: are his eminence and me...

Viterius: But... Once they see his surgery, they'll view him in a different light
Just as I did in the past...

Viterius: That wouldn't do...

Knight: Bishop Viterius!!

Knight: The offender, Caligula...
has just been brought to the Vatican...!!


Page 12

Text: The Biblos must be brought back to the Church
as soon as possible...!!

Viterius; ...I'll see him immediately

Bishops: Wh- what's happening...?


Page 13

Knight #1: H- hey, can you see it?
His hands are moving right...?

Knight #2: I can't really make it out...

Nero: Wh-
what speed
It's impossible...!!

Bishops: Th- that man
he's treating all the wounds


Page 14

Bishops: at the same time...?!!

Text: Removing bullets is not a simple task in the least
Considerable speed is required to prevent shock* due to blood loss, and on top of that

*A condition where sufficient blood doesn't circulate around the body, hence causing the brain and other organs to fail.

Text: there's the risk of damaging nerves and vessels when removing the bullets.
It's a surgery that requires a lot of concentration and drains even the best surgeons...
And yet

Text: he's operating on 8 different wounds with such speed
that he's only taking as much time as we would on 1!!
It's unbelievable...!!


Page 15

Buzz: The 1st bullet
has been successfully removed...

Text: I
couldn't save Pare-san...

Buzz: 2nd bullet
successfully removed

Text: I let Pare-san die right in front of me
I don't ever

Text: wanna go through that again...!!

Buzz: 3rd bullet
a success...!!

Text: I'm never
gonna let anyone die in front of me again...!!!


Page 16

Nero: H- he's... alive...


Page 17

Pope: Haha
Good job, Asklepios

Buzz: This man was in good health until just now
And then all of you... put him in a critical condition
just for this show...

Buzz: You can't toy with people's lives like this...!!!

Pope: So?

Buzz: I'm sure of it now...


Page 18

Buzz: That more than the logic of the Church... the medicine we Medills have been practicing
is what's right...

Buzz: And I'm certainly not a heretic...!!!


Page 19

Pope: You're still far from convincing me
Shall we bring out the next patient then?

Viterius: ...Attempted murder of a saint knight
Normally, we'd remove the rank you've been given and put you in jail for that
but we're giving you a chance to prove your worth...

Viterius: The Asklepios' attendant, Telesfos... The Biblos is most likely in that one's hand
Bring it back to me immediately,
Caligula...!!

Caligula: Like I say, if you don't finish the job, you end up regretting it later
Haha

Insert: The "darkness" moves once again!!
