64 – Kim Cheol-su, whose divine power has grown, and the outbreak of an epidemic in the village!
A sea made entirely of light.
There is no sign of land, creating a mysterious atmosphere.
Without realizing it, I feel at ease.
**”As my divine power increases, the water level rises, and my heart feels more at ease.”**
It seems that my divine power realm is connected to this world.
As my realm grows, this world also grows!
**”I wonder how far I will grow.”**
Will the water level eventually reach my neck!?
That’s a bit scary…
But I won’t stop for the sake of my marriage to Catherine!
“Alright, let’s begin the cultivation of divine power.”
I gathered my determination and started cultivating my divine power.
Since all the visible seawater is divine power, it replenishes as soon as the seawater touches my body.
I replenished my divine power without hesitation.
“Now, lie down.”
Splash!
I fell forward and plunged into the seawater.
Thump! Although my nose hit the ground, it didn’t hurt or feel suffocating.
It’s as if there’s no need to breathe when you enter here.
It feels like I’m dreaming.
Sizzle.
My body becomes warm.
My physical body is being replenished with divine power!
“Lie down on your back.”
Splash!
I turned around and looked up at the sky.
The dim sky is without the sun or moon, just covered in a mist-like haze.
“Dive.”
Splash! I jumped into the seawater as if diving!
I’m just playing around, moving my body in various patterns, but the amount of divine power replenished is almost the same.
“Lie down on your side, lie down on your front, lie down on your right…”
I wonder how much time has passed since I started wriggling my body in the divine power sea.
Suddenly, I felt a refreshing sensation in my head.
Sizzle.
The depth of the sea becomes even deeper.
The amount of divine power entering my body increases exponentially.
“!?”
I have grown.
The amount of my divine power has increased.
I could feel it instinctively.
Wow!
I immediately tried to elevate my divine power.
And then, wasn’t a divine light like a volcanic eruption rising from both hands!
Originally, I could only pull up divine power with one hand, but now light shines from both hands!!
“Wow.”
Is this the result of consistent training?
Even pulling out divine power vigorously from both hands doesn’t make me tired at all!
“They say the more you use it, the more the human body develops.”
Just like how using the brain develops the brain.
In the world of divine power, a type of brain wave, it seems that the more you use it, the more divine power increases.
“Isn’t that nice?”
The feeling of progress is a good thing.
This Kim Cheol-su has evolved from Antibiotic Kim Cheol-su to Double Antibiotic Kim Cheol-su..!
Because now I can use divine power with both hands!
“Kahaha! I am Double Antibiotic Kim Cheol-su!”
If Naruto has Naruto’s Rasengan and Sasuke’s Chidori, then Kim Cheol-su has divine light!
I enjoyed the double divine power to my heart’s content, pulling it out and using it fiercely, then I was thrown out of the world of light as if I had fainted!
Hmm, I overdid it.
I feel exhausted, like my body is in a state of exhaustion.
I returned to Dong-san with Viscount Roland and barely managed to get up, feeling exhausted.
Anyway, when people achieve something, they naturally want to brag about it!
I approached Catherine, who was talking with the maids in the Viscount’s mansion hallway.
From Noble mtl dot com
I should brag to Catherine.
Catherine, who was talking seriously with the maids, noticed me and her expression brightened.
“Kim Cheol-su, you’re here?”
“Yes, Catherine, about my divine power… I mean, what’s going on?”
I was about to boast right away, but the atmosphere seemed serious, so I couldn’t easily boast!
I asked her what was going on.
Catherine replied, “Kim Cheol-su, it seems like a diarrhea epidemic has spread in the village!”
Diarrhea epidemic.
Literally, a disease where you have a lot of diarrhea!
My head went blank.
It’s called a diarrhea epidemic, but it’s actually cholera.
Last year, Viscount Roland suffered from cholera and had a hard time treating it.
It took a week to treat just Viscount Roland…!
Is cholera spreading again!?
“How many are affected!? And in Yeongju Castle?”
Cholera is an infectious disease.
Quietly leaving, more people will continue to get cholera!
“Hmm… this seems to be a mild case of dysentery. There are no cases in Yeongjuseong yet. Only 5 villagers have been affected.”
“What happened to those people!?”
“2 of them stopped having dysentery after two days, and 3 are complaining of stomach discomfort.”
“Really?”
What’s going on?
The symptoms are different from the cholera I know.
The treatment period for cholera is a week.
Being cured in two days is not cholera.
“It’s more like a different intestinal disease…”
“I made them stay inside to prevent the spread.”
Last year, Catherine, who taught me about dysentery, or cholera bacteria, was well aware of the risk of infection!
If an infectious disease patient is isolated at home, at least the disease won’t spread to others!
“Well done.”
“Shall we prepare oral rehydration solution?”
“Yes! And for those with mild dysentery? I need to meet them. Will you guide me?”
“Got it! Emma, get the oral rehydration solution ready. I’ll go down to the village with Kim Cheol-soo.”
“Yes, ma’am!”
The maids who learned from me knew what oral rehydration solution is!
Catherine entrusted them with the preparation of the oral rehydration solution and guided me to the patients’ location.
* * * *
It was the lumberjack Peter who had contracted mild dysentery!
Peter, lying on the bed clutching his stomach, greeted us with a pale face.
“It’s hard for me to get down from the bed… I’m sorry, Cheol-soo. I apologize, Catherine.”
“It’s okay, but more importantly, is your stomach very painful? When did this start?”
“Ugh… my stomach hasn’t been good since I drank water at the well yesterday.”
The cause of dysentery was easy to find.
It was the well!
Those who contracted dysentery all drank water from the well and experienced severe abdominal pain.
“The well water is contaminated.”
“Yes, it seems so. That’s why we closed the well.”
Even without me saying anything, Catherine had already taken care of almost everything!
She destroyed the well to prevent others from drinking contaminated well water.
Dealing with an infectious disease is about eliminating the cause of the disease.
With the contaminated well closed, the problem is solved.
“That’s a relief.”
I have much less to do now.
Catherine, who had learned a lot from working with me, is quite capable on her own now.
That’s why I don’t want to miss out on hiring experienced nurses who have been well trained at Korean hospitals!
“The only thing left is for me to treat Mr. Peter!”
Ziiiing.
I raised my divine power.
Although I didn’t know the disease precisely, if the patient has frequent diarrhea, a fever of 39 is a gastrointestinal issue. By infusing divine power into the abdomen and lower abdomen, the bacteria and viruses causing diarrhea would perish!
Bright divine power emerged simultaneously in my two hands.
Miss Catherine was taken aback when she saw the bright energy gathered in my hands!
“Kim Chul-soo! Have you grown again?”
“Hehe, do you recognize me? Miss Catherine, this is Kim Chul-soo. Now, I can invoke divine power with both hands!”
Proudly, I raised both hands, enjoying Catherine’s reaction!
“Wow… It’s been just over half a year since you mastered divine power…”
“Hehehe, that’s fast, right?”
“Of course! If the Urukian Main Sect saw you, they’d be astounded, wouldn’t they?”
To the extent that even the Urukian Main Sect would be amazed.
This Kim Chul-soo might have become a man causing a stir in the Urukian Main Sect, with diseases trembling and Catherine astonished.
Gurgle~
“Eugh!”
Mr. Peter grabbed his belly and groaned, snapping me back to reality.
As a medical practitioner, I shouldn’t lose focus, but I made a mistake!
“I’m sorry, Mr. Peter. I’ll infuse divine power now!”
Ziiiing!
I infused divine power into Mr. Peter’s entire abdomen.
With an ample amount of divine power, I could infuse divine power into all areas of Mr. Peter’s abdomen at once!
“Oh…”
Mr. Peter’s expression, contorted in pain, rapidly improved.
The viruses in Mr. Peter’s body were being eradicated by my powerful divine power!
“..The pain in my belly has significantly lessened?”
Gurgle~
For now, the ongoing diarrhea wouldn’t change!
Mr. Peter hurried to the bushes to take care of business, washed his hands in hot water, and returned with a refreshed face.
“The belly pain miraculously disappeared! I once paid a hefty sum to receive treatment from Priest James of the Diocese, and it felt almost like that. Thank you so much, Mr. Chul-soo!”
“If you’re feeling better, that’s all that matters. Make sure to wash your hands properly and clean the utensils you use.”
“Got it. I don’t want to have diarrhea again…”
After Mr. Peter, now recovered from the illness, received my post-care, he went to wash the utensils.
Applying what I had taught him promptly!
One down, two to go.
“Miss Catherine, let’s go meet the other two.”
“Got it!”
I went to meet the other two, who were in a serious condition!
Mrs. Margaret from the clothing store was lying in the bedroom, groaning.
Margaret’s son, Victor, was retching in the backyard of the clothing store!
I was surprised and treated two people with Catherine, using divine power!
Ziiing.
Victor, whose dry heaving gradually subsided after receiving divine power, and Margaret, whose complexion improved.
I realized as I looked at them.
“This is a norovirus!”
No wonder it looked familiar.
It’s a virus disease that often occurs in spring, causing diarrhea and vomiting!
Norovirus usually heals naturally, but it can be dangerous if dehydration occurs.
Margaret, with shallow breathing and chapped lips, clearly showed signs of dehydration to anyone.
Even though the virus was treated with divine power, hydration and nutrition replenishment are important.
I asked the maids to bring oral rehydration solution!
