The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 65
Episode 65. King of the Minotaur (2)
It’s a look I’ve seen many times.
Bedroom wall shattered into pieces. The eyes of the Minotaur I caught a glimpse of through the thick dust. Am I crazy if I feel familiar looking at it? Or maybe I have an overly good memory. ‘So,
I’ve seen
those kind of eyes in Korea…’
A buried memory came to mind. It must have been the first year since the Oriental medicine clinic opened. There was a patient, an elderly woman who was almost 80 years old.
They said it was neuralgia. He said he was in so much pain that he couldn’t sleep. That’s why he said there wasn’t a hospital he hadn’t been to. However, he also said that no hospital could find the cause of the pain.
I took all kinds of pictures and got tests done. I’ve been to all big hospitals and small hospitals. Nevertheless, he said he could not figure out why neuralgia occurred. Of course, he also said that he did not receive proper treatment.
‘When that grandmother first came to my Oriental medicine clinic. It was just then…’
He had that kind of look in his eyes. The look in the eyes of someone who is sick but has nowhere to lean on. The eyes of a person whose despair is filled with resentment.
‘But why is the Minotaur looking like that?’
A question came to mind. No, before that, an even more fundamental question also came to mind.
‘Why is the Minotaur here?’
I was curious. I really wondered what was going on. This person was simply fainting from the fatigue accumulated during the several-day journey. I was just groaning because I was tired.
But out of nowhere, bang.
The bedroom wall was broken and there was a mess. The Minotaur is looking this way with its big head raised. For some reason, my bloodshot feet turned red with desperate and overwhelming anger.
“…purr!”
Urus, the king of the Minotaurs, snorted loudly. In fact, Urus was also thinking about questions as he looked at Rakiel. Why is that guy here? I was just chasing after a skinny old man who was trying to harm me.
Consciousness clouded and colored by pain and anger. In the meantime, a blurry memory came to mind. The person who was dying earlier. And then the frenzy began. It was a fragmentary memory of what happened right after that.
“Puruk! “Pur…ruk!”
I will kill all the humans in front of me. In this way, he said that he would relieve the resentment of the infant who suffered from his anger and screams. The moment I thought of that thought, my eyes rolled back. The chains that bound my entire body had broken.
We were broken apart in an instant. Humans screaming. The one who stood out the most among them. An old man who bought me and then boasted about me. The guy who was called a colossus or something among humans. I wanted to kill him first.
It roared and charged. But he ran away early. The guards blocked the way. It was struck and thrown away at once.
I gave chase. The giant ran away. I pursued it tenaciously. He also got on his horse and ran away. To the place with the most guards in the city. The most fortified building in the city. This was the refuge he chose.
I chased him until the end. It broke into the garden of the largest building in the city where it had taken refuge and went on a rampage. But in the end, I lost him. I got even more angry. I decided to destroy it all. It hit the side of a nearby building.
And this is how I encountered it. Another goal different from that of the old colossus whom I vowed to kill.
“…purr!”
The Minotaur’s eyes, glaring at Rakiel, became bloodshot. As I was looking at it, I vaguely remembered it.
This guy looks familiar. when? Earlier during the day, where? At the auction house. A young human who competed with an old colossus and tried to buy me out. The guy who openly regretted not being able to buy me out. So that guy is the same guy. It is the same type as the old colossus. In other words, he is a guy who needs to be killed.
“…Lie down!”
A roar broke out.
Huwaaaaaaaaaaa!
I shook my fist.
I’ll make you like the guy I hit earlier. It will crush your entire body in one fell swoop. I promised and was sure. At the same time, Rachiel’s pupils also dilated rapidly.
‘crazy!’
A fist flying fiercely. It wasn’t just a punch. The size of his fist was the same as the gym ball at the gym. It was a punch with the full weight of a 7-meter-tall monster whose height was similar to that of the rooftop of an ordinary two-story building. Of course, that didn’t mean I had any intention of just blankly accepting that.
‘…Do you think I’m going to die here!’
It was a life he took care of with all his might. I didn’t want it to get deleted(?) in one queue here.
Taaat!
I threw myself to the side. I tried to avoid being punched somehow. But the punches were too fast. In comparison, this side’s evasive maneuver was frustratingly slow.
‘…ruined.’
You can’t avoid this. No matter how you look at it, it’s a striking angle. So what happens here? I think even if you just pass by, you’ll get a full body fracture. If you’re lucky, internal organs rupture will likely be a set menu, and
‘Is this what it felt like to be killed by a fly swatter…?’
I feel like I’m getting distant. A ridiculous thought suddenly occurred to me. But it was that moment. Right before I was hit by the Minotaur’s huge fist, something hit me hard on the side.
Wow!
“…Kkuek!”
My body was bent like a rope. Could it be that my left ribs were broken? The body was blown to the side with a shock that took my breath away.
Right after that.
Huuuuung-!
The Minotaur’s huge fist passed through the space where we were. It was a sight as if a KTX train running at top speed was passing right in front of us.
And it looked beyond that. The Minotaur’s fist splitting the air. Beyond that was Damian. He was holding one leg up. It was like a side kick. When I saw that, a belated realization hit my frontal lobe.
Ah, that guy kicked me.
“Ugh!”
Quatangdang!
The ground received this side roughly. But there was no time to act out the pain.
“Roll!”
Damian shouts. As soon as I heard that, I instinctively rolled over. Immediately after that again.
Kwaaang-!
A punch came down from above and hit the spot where he had just fallen.
‘Ugh!’
Why? Why do I somehow get the feeling that the Minotaur is targeting me?
As soon as I rolled over, I stood up with my hands on the floor. The side of my stomach where Damian had kicked me was sore. But that pain wasn’t important.
ran.
I ran towards the bedroom door.
A harsh roar erupted from behind.
“Lay down!”
Huuuuung-!
The sound of a huge chunk flying. I reflexively turned my head slightly. Thanks to you, I was able to see it.
“…!”
A rock the size of a torso was flying here. It was aiming exactly this way.
‘Oh really!’
In a hurry, I fell and rolled again. A horrifying sound of wind passed overhead like a gale.
Kwaaang-!
A rock crushed the door. The wall collapsed. The only entrance was blocked by a pile of fallen stones.
‘no way?’
Did they throw the rock aiming for this? I couldn’t figure it out. But one thing is certain…
“Your Highness and I seem to be trapped here.”
Damian stands guard with his sword in front of him. The guy took a breath on his back. He glared at the Minotaur, radiating a murderous force, and confronted the berserk monster. I immediately received what that guy said.
“Oh, we also added a Minotaur to the group.”
I had no choice but to say it as a joke. I felt like if I didn’t share even a meaningless joke like this, there would be screams instead.
‘How did this happen?’
When I thought about it, I realized that my prayers were not full. The doorway to escape was collapsed and I was isolated. Thanks to this, I ended up having a bloody match with the Minotaur, who went crazy in the middle of the night, in this narrow space. I got goosebumps. I broke into a cold sweat and my fingertips and lips became cold.
“majesty. “I have something to tell you.”
Does Damian feel the same way? The guy’s voice sounded solemn.
“If we get through this situation safely today-”
“If we get through it?”
“Please pay special allowance.”
“…what?”
“If we can safely overcome this urgent and dangerous situation and protect Your Majesty. “Isn’t that level of compensation natural?”
“So you want a special allowance?”
“yes.”
“What if I don’t give it to you?”
“I will run away alone.”
“….”
Wow Mr. Lee.
For a moment, I almost cursed. However, rather than swearing, Damian spoke quickly.
“So listen carefully to what I say and do it. On the count of three I will attack the Minotaur. “Then he will have a chance, so you have to get out of here then.”
“Where are you going to get out?”
“That wall he destroyed.”
Damian glanced at me. Now that I think about it, there is one way out. The outer wall of the bedroom destroyed by the Minotaur. The night sky was visible outside. Below that…
“This is the second floor?”
“It doesn’t matter. Just jump.”
“What if my leg breaks?”
“It’s better than being crushed to death here.”
“….”
“Judging from the sounds being heard, the guards have already gathered under the outer wall. Attacking the Minotaur’s legs. “It doesn’t work at all, though.”
“…Even if I fall and break my leg, they will save me and take me to a safe place?”
“It seems like the only way out now.”
“….”
Damian looks back and smiles bitterly. What the guy said was right. The moment you realize that fact. The Minotaur, who was wary of Damian’s momentum and was looking for an opening, moved.
“…Fuuuuk! “Neo!”
Quack quack! Kwajak!
The Minotaur leaned its upper body forward. Part of the bedroom floor was crushed. Two huge arms stretched out. At the same time, Damian quickly shouted.
“One, two, three! Now!”
“…!”
The count is too fast!
There was no time to protest. The body, sensing a crisis, moved reflexively.
Taaat!
Before I knew it, I was running after Damian. Damian rushes ahead. For a moment, only a blurry afterimage of the guy’s back remained.
Tsukakakakakak!
Remnants scattered left and right. A sword light that illuminates the air following the remnants. Dozens of sword lights raced through the moonlight. The skin of the Minotaur’s forearm and wrist was cut and sliced. Of course, the Minotaur was not left alone.
“…Kwook!”
The stinging pain made me even more angry. He whipped his huge head around. The threatening horn pierced Damian as if it would pierce him. Damian struck down his sword.
Tucker-!
The moment the sword and horn collided, a fierce shock wave exploded in all directions. Damian was pushed back several meters. The Minotaur’s head was also tilted back significantly.
‘Now!’
I could feel it as soon as I saw it. The moment when the Minotaur’s head was tilted back and its posture was greatly disturbed was the ‘gap’ that Damian had mentioned earlier.
Taaat!
ran.
I passed by the Minotaur. I saw an open wall right in front of me. All you have to do is fly over there. Then you can get out of here. I was confident and kicked the floor. Towards the only way out. I floated in the air. But it was that moment.
“Purp!”
The sound of the Minotaur snorting was heard. Is he trying to shake off the dizziness that came briefly? Suddenly, the guy shook his head loudly. I also shook my torso and forearms. That forearm completely blocked my view.
I couldn’t avoid it. This person had already kicked off the ground and launched himself into the air.
‘Uuuuuut!’
I was scared and waved my hands. The hair on the Minotaur’s forearm was caught. I reflexively grabbed it with all my might. As a result, I ended up like a cicada hugging the forearm of a rampaging cow-headed monster.
“…Ugh!”
You have to let go and jump right away. The Minotaur will not consider this a free hug of affection and friendship. Thinking like that, it was a moment when I was about to let go of my hand.
Ding dong!
An unexpected notification sound rang in my ears. And then an unexpected message began to appear before my eyes.
[You have made physical contact with an emergency patient.]
[Your pulse skill automatically responds to the emergency patient’s vital signals.]
[Start pulse.]
‘…Huh? ‘
Emergency patient?
Start the pulse?
‘what?’
It was an absurd message that I would never have thought of targeting a Minotaur, not even a human being, in this situation. But the doctor here didn’t care. Indeed, the Jinmaek skill was activated automatically.
[Scanning.]
[3… 2… 1….]
[The pulse results are out.]
[Please check the
below.]
Soon, the Minotaur’s comprehensive medical examination table came to mind. Kiehl was able to realize the cause of this situation.
