Chapter 312 Minotaur
"O noble Poseidon who rules the ocean!"
"Please help me escape from this bull demon!"
Ronald has always been a pragmatist.
If I remember correctly, the Minotaur was the king of Crete who asked Poseidon for a sacrifice to prove the legitimacy of his usurpation of power, and then angered the Greek god. Finally, Poseidon sent a bull to seduce the queen and gave birth to him. The monster Minotaur.
Refer to this example.
Ronald felt that praying to Poseidon should be the most practical way at the moment.
But in fact...
after he shouted this prayer, it was unclear whether Poseidon protected him.
But the Minotaur stood up behind him.
Instead, he immediately let out an extremely angry roar.
"Roar——"
The roar was filled with the anger of this half-man, half-cow monster.
Even though the race between Ronald and this guy is quite obvious, one can still tell that the other person is in a very bad mood.
The same original trial.
I'm afraid that when facing Hal and Edwalk, this monster's attitude was far less enthusiastic than it is towards him now, right?
"..."
And will such a tauren take any special measures?
While running, Ronald turned his head and looked in the direction of the Minotaur.
It was this tilt of the head that allowed him to escape.
The Minotaur stood up with red eyes. While chasing Ronald, the monster first went around the tree stump that Ronald had seen before. With its arms covered with strong muscles, it cut the ax into the tree stump with just one move. Pulled it out.
Immediately, the Minotaur waved his arm.
Brush -
being thrown with all the strength by a monster like the Minotaur, the ax spinning in the air tore the air, and Ronald's eyesight could not even tell whether he was facing an ax blade or an ax handle.
But there is no doubt about one thing.
If you get hit, you're dead!
And this ax, which could definitely smash someone to death, was now spinning towards Ronald.
"Tsk——"
Faced with such an attack, Ronald had no room to hesitate.
Without hesitation, he rolled forward and lowered his height in the most convenient way.
Boom!
Almost the next second, there was the sound of rock cracking in front of Ronald.
After the flying ax passed his position, it smashed directly into the stone building of the mansion. The Minotaur's blow was so powerful that even the solid rock cracked instantly.
The door that was originally connected to the door frame also bent diagonally due to the effect of this blow.
"..."
"Can this be beaten by a human?"
Seeing the scene in front of him, Ronald stood up quickly, turned sideways and hit him decisively.
Bang -
the already precarious door instantly collapsed and fell to the ground.
Ronald also rushed into the house immediately.
In the house that had been uninhabited for an unknown period of time, thick dust suddenly flew up due to this action.
"Cough cough cough -"
Ronald covered his aching shoulder with one hand, and then covered his mouth and nose with his elbow and continued to move forward.
He now misses the physical strengthening power of "The Divine Comedy" very much.
This frail body was completely unable to match the physical strength he was already familiar with.
After hurriedly walking around the porch and walking into the living room, Ronald could tell that the living room of this house also looked like no one had been there for a long time...
no, it should be said that the owner hadn't been back for a long time.
Both the tabletop and the floor were covered with thick dust. Even the food and wine barrels that the owner had not eaten before he left were buried in the dust.
Wow -
"Roar!"
At this moment, there was another movement behind Ronald.
It was the sound of fragments of rock falling to the ground and the roar of the Minotaur.
This half-man, half-bull monster has walked to the door and picked up the sharp ax from the broken rock again!
At this time, the hint that Heloise left for Ronald not long ago came into effect.
The more dangerous the situation, the more we need to calmly analyze the current situation and look for possibilities.
Instead of blindly relying on these 'new skills' of your own.
Considering that the purpose of Daedalus making the Wings of Icarus was to fly and to find related things, the destination of this trip must be the rooftop above the house.
There was enough height and space for Daedalus to experiment and use the Wings of Icarus.
Even the staircase leading upstairs is very visible, just to the left of the living room.
But if you rush forward regardless.
Then relying on his own language comprehension ability, he directly forcibly interprets the original text...
Can he really succeed?
Through the thick dust in the living room, Ronald was bound to leave his footprints here.
Although it has human-like intelligence.
But the Minotaur just behind clearly has the most basic thinking ability of a living thing.
Follow the footprints and pursue them.
It is really unknown who will be faster.
With his eyes focused, Ronald ran decisively to the dining table, and then used all his strength to pull out the cork on the wine barrel.
Bang -
although it has been a long time, the wine in the barrel has not deteriorated.
Following Ronald's movements, the fruit-scented liquid immediately flowed out of the barrel.
But correspondingly, there were scratches from the old iron ring on the cork of Ronald's palm.
Red blood immediately seeped out from the wound.
"Hiss—"
There was no time to care about the injury on his hand now.
Regardless of the bone-deep wound, Ronald still grabbed the cork and immediately turned around and rushed towards the stairs.
The reason why he would behave like this at this time is still because of the legend about Theseus.
When the Greek hero accomplished his feat.
One theory is that he attacked the Minotaur from behind while he was drinking, and thus won a clean victory.
So here is the wine on the table, brewed by the master Daedalus.
Maybe it's also part of the trial.
Ronald rushed up the stairs, followed by the Minotaur chasing him.
The half-man, half-bull monster lowered his head slightly.
Then I saw the footprints left by Ronald on the ground.
"Hiss—roar—"
Breathing heavily, the Minotaur's original pursuit pace began to slow down.
——It smells of fine wine.
Since Daedalus and his son left, the monster living in the labyrinth has not had a drink of wine for a long time. But at this moment, these unavailable drinks are flowing on the ground along the opening of the barrel in front of you.
Even with the intelligence of the Minotaur, he understood what this meant.
If not blocked.
Then the remaining wine will quickly flow clean, and it may never have the chance to drink these beautiful things.
The Minotaur's footsteps did not move toward the staircase Ronald had chosen.
Instead, he turned towards the wine barrel.
This half-man, half-bull monster now looks like Atalanta who stopped in place because of the apple and finally lost in the race.
[Wow——]
