[BL] Accidentally Becoming the Healer of the Deranged Archduke novel Chapter 341

Chapter 341: What Is Zen?

Zen.

It meant silence. Like one was supposed to experience in the embrace of death. Cold, yet serene.

Darius instantly caught Xion’s hand in his own. "Where is it?"

"What is it?" Xion asked. His hazy blue eyes were suspiciously growing darker.

Normally, he would’ve let it go. If Darius asked, he would have simply tossed the palm-sized stone sitting in his pocket into his hands. But not this time.

There was a gnawing feeling in his gut that if he didn’t get to the bottom of this, he would regret it.

And regret was never pleasant. It never had been.

Darius stilled for a moment, silently wondering if he should or should not answer.

And if he did, how was he supposed to explain that he was planning a bloody hunt?

"Darius." Xion leaned forward, catching a silver strand from Darius’ temple and tucking it behind his ear—just as Darius had done to him, countless times.

"Tell me what Zen is exactly."

Perhaps he realized there was no other way, or maybe the Archduke was simply tired of playing the part of a gentleman.

His next words were blunt enough that Xion’s mouth parted in disbelief.

"Goddess’ wrath."

Xion blinked, trying hard to digest what he had just heard. The senior transmigrator, Sakura Mei, had written in her diary about this.

She had used her system to retract the defensive layer, and then the Zombie Orcs multiplied like parasites.

Every city had its own group of trained soldiers to locate and fight in the dungeons where the Orcs usually dwell.

Even the North had that. One that was led by none other than old man Berry. That was the reason why Berry was hardly seen in the castle.

"What does that mean?" Xion pressed on. The nagging feeling was creeping up his spine all over again.

His instincts were not just alerting him, they were screaming at him to do something.

But screaming for what? To hand the stone over to Darius?

Or to keep it as far from him as possible?

Darius pushed himself off the ground and sat beside Xion.

Dropping a kiss on his curious kitten’s cheek, he tried to speak like he was explaining it to a child.

"Quite literally. It’s a stone that brings destruction without sound.

Zen is said to be the last remnant of the goddess’ fury—born the day humans dared to enrage her sacred angel."

While Darius was explaining to him, Xion had already asked his system to scan the stone.

The results weren’t too far from what he had thought.

[Host, this is the S-level item. Something that has been banned by the higher management. Even we, with all those merit points, can’t buy it.]

The system said after scanning the stone, which Xion didn’t even get the chance to take a look at.

Xion fell into a deep contemplation. So Sakura had used this Zen to destroy the protective shield around Eldoria Lunerith.

But that didn’t stop people from obsessing over anything tied to the divine.

Albeit a bit, Xion’s tense shoulders relaxed. As long as Darius didn’t intend to use it... it was fine. It had to be.

Sighing, he reached into his pocket and pulled out the cloth-wrapped stone, placing it gently in a large palm. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
