The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 68

Episode 68 Midnight Rodeo (3)

Tonight. That guy and me.

One of the two is likely to end. No, only then will I be able to see the end of this night. A chilling realization came over me. So my teeth ground together.

‘Why is he only targeting me?’

I tried my best to think about it. But there was no place I could guess. I couldn’t even think of a good reason for that. In short, I didn’t understand. At that moment, the Minotaur roared.

“Lie down!”

Urus’ whole body trembled.

A body with injuries everywhere. My chest is filled with terrible pain. It hurt as if my chest was being pressed down by an iron tower weighing tens of tons with nails sticking out. However, the pain awakened Urus’s ferocious spirit even more. And only one goal was clearly engraved.

I’m going to destroy the humans here.

This is war.

“…Purp! “Puruk!”

Urus thought as his vision became bloodshot every moment. I thought of two universal ways to win a war. The most important thing is to annihilate the enemy troops. Or capturing and killing an enemy general. But now? The enemy was right in front of me. That was Rachiel.

“Nuuu! Purr!”

okay. That corrupt and corrupt person. It’s him. It is certainly. You can tell by the instincts of animals. Because from earlier, all the people around him were trying to protect that guy. Because I saw them clearly.

That guy is the leader of this city’s human pack. So, if we catch that guy and kill him, we can win this war.

“Purp!”

Urus snorted. He stretched out his huge arm and grabbed the main mast pillar of the sailboat. And broke it.

Kwajajajak-!

The main mast pillar, which is stronger than a beautiful tree, broke like a sorghum can. The huge sail, half-unfolded, was lifted like a large fan on Urus’s arms. Anaconda-like tendons appeared on Urus’s shoulders and forearms.

“Nuoooooo!”

Huuuuuung-!

The entire main mast was swung. At that moment, Rakiel reflexively shouted.

“Everyone get down!”

Everyone suddenly came to their senses at that shout.

“…Huh!”

“Get down!”

Everyone rushed to their feet. I fell down on the deck. Immediately after that, a typhoon passed overhead.

Kwajajajak! Kuwaak-!

“…!”

Masts 2 and 3 were hit by the swinging mast and shattered. The stern at the back of the sailboat was also not safe. The stern and the structure above were completely crushed. Among those structures was a steering wheel that steered the ship.

Kwajak-!

Just 3 seconds.

The only movement Urus made while holding the mast and swinging. With that blow, the deck of the sailboat was thrown into chaos.

“Cough! Cool look! Ugh!”

Rachiel coughed in the dust. I raised my head, but I couldn’t see anything. This was because the sails of the fallen No. 2 mast covered the entire deck. Of course, this side was also covered by the sail.

‘crazy.’

My teeth were ground. I didn’t know that the Minotaur would jump onto the boat.

‘What do we do?’

I shook my head. First of all, I thought about buying it. But I couldn’t think of anything clearly. It was natural.

‘Running away would be the best option. There’s no way to escape.’

I don’t know how to swim. What if you jumped into the sea to try to escape? You will become a beer bottle and will not be able to avoid drowning.

‘But can I ask Damian or others to take me swimming? no. The distance to the dock is too far for that. Because it was more than 100 meters away. Moreover, what if that Minotaur swims after me? Rather, they will be caught soon.’

So what about lifeboats?

Rachiel stuck her head out between the torn sails. Beyond the messed up deck. There was a lifeboat there, broken in two and stuck.

“….”

There is no way to escape. Even the steering wheel on the stern was shattered. Thanks to this, the sailboat was able to drift without permission. But the direction of flow is… the opposite direction from the pier. In other words, it is actually moving away from the land.

The more I understood the situation, the darker it became. The five intestines and six parts seemed similar.

Ding dong!

[Your five organs and six organs are feeling a sense of crisis and are agitated.]

[Heart: Hey? Can you think of a way to escape? What do you do with the brain?]

[Lungs: Oxygen… supply oxygen to the brain… lung… break!]

[Captain: Brothers? I don’t think my insides are getting better, right?]

[Soy Sauce: Shhh, the outside of this body is even worse!]

[Stomach: Hehehe Last Supper Chureup.]

“….”

There doesn’t seem to be any answer for the five internal organs. There is no way to escape from that Minotaur. I can’t even see a way to reconcile(?). So the conclusion is….

‘This is where it should end.’

It was then. Someone’s hand reached out from next to me. I gently pressed his shoulder.

“Shh. “Keep your body low.”

“…!”

It’s a surprise. I looked back in horror. Damian whispered with calm eyes.

“It was actually a good thing that the sail fell over. Crawl over there. And stay close to the remains of the stern and do not move. “Then you won’t be noticed.”

“Hide?”

“yes. “That might be best for now.”

“Then what about you?”

“I have much to receive from you tonight.”

“…what?”

“Hazard pay. Since my leg was also injured, this was an injury sustained while working. “It is clearly an occupational accident, so you should receive sufficient compensation.”

“So, in order for you to get all that money, I, your employer, have to be alive?”

“That’s an accurate summary. then.”

“…Huh?”

Taaat!

Damian’s hand pushed this side roughly.

“I’m going to get your attention, so make a move while I’m at it. hurry.”

“….”

A glance shared with the guy for a moment. Although the words are said as a joke, they are cold and solemn. This guy understands the situation more calmly than anyone else. I couldn’t stand the sight of those eyes. The best thing to do was just nod at him.

‘please. Don’t overdo it.’

The sails covered the deck like a giant blanket. I knelt down underneath it. At that moment, Damian tore off the sail and stood up. He limped to the other side of the deck.

“Purp!”

Urus’ eyes focused on Damian. At the same time, this side also moved. I crawled eagerly in the direction Damian pointed.

Beads of sweat forming on my forehead. Rough breathing down to the chin. We finally arrived at the wreckage of the stern. I hid myself in the corner there. I looked back at the situation on deck through the torn hole in the sail. Then my eyes suddenly widened.

‘…uh?’

Everyone was fighting.

Damian was raising his sword. Anis, in her werewolf state, was leaping, baring her fangs. The knights of the Royal Guard formed a line and moved in perfect order. The special forces filled the gap and let out a roar. Even the little one pricked up its thorns and rushed at him.

Everyone’s fighting spirit and cheers. In front of him, the Minotaur stood tall like a wall of despair. He took everyone’s attacks with his whole body. No, I laughed it off and let it go.

“Purp! “Puruk!”

Tourezil as rough as an ox. The huge head swung around carrying a huge weight. There was a pair of magnificently curved horns at the end.

All over the place.

The horn rushed like a bulldozer. I broke the shields of five royal guards. The swords of six special forces soldiers were smashed.

“…Gagging!”

In just one charge, five members of the Royal Guard and six members of the Special Forces were rendered incapable of fighting. Anis ran urgently.

“Crumbling!”

He jumped onto the Minotaur’s back. He raised his fangs. I bit my back.

Wow!

There was an eerie sound. However, Anise’s fangs did not deliver a fatal blow. The reason was simple. This was because the Minotaur’s leather was thicker than premium cowhide. But Anis didn’t give up.

“Crung!”

If your fangs don’t work, use your fingernails!

He became even more wild and waved his hands. Sharp claw marks were carved on the Minotaur’s back. But that was then.

Thump!

The Minotaur’s grip moved back. I grabbed Anise’s tail. And then he swung and beat him up.

Huung kwaang-!

“…Kkegaeng!”

Anise, who was thrown on the deck, let out a pitiful scream. He was panting, foaming at the mouth, and fainted. The Minotaur stood tall as if he were ruling over it.

“Purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…! “Puruk!”

Is he now convinced that there is no enemy on this ship? Now that I think about it, everyone was in complete disrepair. Needless to say, Anise fainted. Damien, who had injured his leg, had abnormal movements. Kosomi and the special forces soldiers were barely holding on.

As if ignoring everyone, the Minotaur was sweeping here and there on the deck. It was a gesture as if he was searching for something.

‘You’re looking for me.’

gulp.

Dry saliva scratched my throat and went down. It was then. The Minotaur raised one leg. And just like that….

Quaaaang-!

One side of the deck was trampled. It was a place where there was something covered with a sail.

“…!”

no way.

My heart was pounding.

Meanwhile, the Minotaur tore apart the sail where he had trampled. There was a flat, smashed box underneath. Urus’ snort became harsh.

“Puruk!”

When I saw that, it became clear.

‘If there’s even a little bit of a bulge covered in that guy’s sail, he’s planning to check it by trampling on it.’

To find me.

To trample to death.

Creepy.

A horrifying realization came to me. Meanwhile, the Minotaur’s rough movements continued.

“Nuuu-! Purr! “Puruk!”

bang! Kwajak! Crack! Quad!

He started kicking wildly, trampling all over the sail-covered deck. I looked closely and found nothing. I didn’t even care that the whole deck was sinking. It was a scene of one-sided and blind destruction.

‘Damn it!’

If I do that, there will be no point in hiding here. It is a sailboat deck with limited space anyway. One day, I will be caught and trampled to death.

‘To the cabin.’

You have to hide to live.

As soon as I realized it, I lowered my body. I recalled that there was a passage leading down to the cabin in front of the collapsed stern. I desperately looked around to find the passage.

But it wasn’t visible. Other sailors hiding nearby also had thoughtful faces, perhaps feeling the same way. Meanwhile, the Minotaur’s destructive trampling came closer and closer.

“Purp! Nuooooo-!”

Kwakeuk! Kwajak!

“…!”

It was getting closer so quickly. I caught a glimpse of Damian scattering his swords to stop such a guy. But is it because the sword became dull because of the injured leg? The Minotaur didn’t take much damage from Damian’s sword. On the contrary, it raged even more fiercely.

‘crazy! crazy! ‘Ugh!’

I don’t want to die. I didn’t live so desperately to face the stampede ending in a place like this. However, there was no mercy in the Minotaur’s rampage.

“Nuuuu!”

A frenzied roar erupted from directly above. The moment I realized that.

“…!”

I wasn’t even thinking or sleeping.

I rolled over to the side.

Right after that.

Boom!

The place where I had been lying down just now was trampled and crushed by huge hooves.

“…Ugh!”

Must live. You can’t die here. Desperately crawling and rolling under the sail. Frantic trampling followed as if they were chasing us.

Kwajak! Quagduck! Kuwaak-!

“…Ugh! “Wow!”

Is this how a cockroach feels, running away with all its might from a human it encounters in the kitchen in the middle of the night? It continued to roll, crawl, and hide under the sail. But I didn’t just lose my mind and avoid it.

‘Then… die!’

I felt confident.

In times like these, you must not let go of reason. You should not be caught in fear and run away blindly. Then the movement becomes simple. A certain pattern develops without me even realizing it.

The moment that pattern is discovered, it will be over in an instant. I don’t want to do that. So, stay alert. With cool-headed reason rather than fear and instinct. Understand the opponent’s movements as much as possible. Raise your concentration to its peak. Don’t miss a single gap. Even small opportunities must be exploited tenaciously.

‘Open your eyes straight, Lee Han!’

I shouted to myself.

The noise and roar of destruction that hurts my eardrums. I constantly whipped myself to keep from losing my mind.

I opened my eyes wide. A thick sail covered this side. The Minotaur will stand tall across from you. I watched the moonlight coming in to figure out its next move.

A huge silhouette that blocks out the moonlight moment by moment. The direction in which that faint silhouette moves. The direction the roar is heading. His rough breathing. I tried not to miss any of the clues.

As a result, this side also mobilized all its capabilities. Among those capabilities, there was also a shady way of thinking. Without realizing it, my mana circle rotated to its maximum. Mana spread in the surrounding air. Even the mana active nearby.

The flow of all mana was detected and analyzed. Thanks to you, I was able to see it little by little.

Ding dong!

[You have faced an unprecedented and dangerous situation.]

[In the midst of this, you have devoted all of your Mana Circle’s capabilities to detecting mana, using your instinct to survive and cool-headed reason.]

[This extreme experience has made you stronger than before. The ‘Asurahan Precision Diagnosis’ method that was used has grown dramatically.]

[The ability of the ‘Asrahan Precision Diagnosis’ method that was previously used has been expanded.]

[The Asrahan Precision Diagnosis method has evolved into an official option for your skill

. .]

[Optional functions are included in the

skill.]

[Skill-only option ①: Acupoint scanning – You can scan and understand the movement of acupuncture points flowing inside the target’s body in real time within a range of 10 meters. (Limited to living creatures / Number of targets that can be locked on at once: 1)]

“…!”

A message suddenly appeared before my eyes. At the same time, I began to see all the acupuncture points, energy circulation, and expected movements of the Minotaur running wild across the sail.

It was as if a map hack had been launched.
