Chapter 13 The Minotaur

Theseus did not expect that after offering sacrifices to Aphrodite, the goddess of love, everything would go so smoothly, and Ariadne, the princess of the King of Crete, fell in love with him at first sight.

He himself volunteered to come to Crete as a sacrifice to challenge the half-man, half-bull monster Minotaur, just to suppress those voices in Athens who said that he was an illegitimate child and unworthy of inheriting the throne.Although he didn't have a clear plan yet, as the darling of the gods, he had no doubt that he would win.

Princess Ariadne gave him a ball of golden thread, which could keep him from getting lost in the maze, and gave Theseus a sharp sword that could kill the Minotaur.

Theseus tied one end of the ball of thread given by Ariadne to the entrance of the labyrinth, and then followed the rolling ball of thread straight forward, groping in the narrow passage step by step.The ball of thread in Theseus' hand became smaller and smaller, and he knew that he was getting closer to the Minotaur with the head of a bull.

He smelled the smell of blood coming from the fork ahead, as well as a faint smell of alcohol.Theseus had told the boys and girls who came with him to stay near the entrance of the labyrinth and not to walk around at will. He thought that what the minotaur was enjoying was probably innocent people who accidentally entered by mistake.

Theseus clung to the wall and quietly moved towards the position of the Minotaur step by step.At this time, the Minotaur had just finished a delicious meal and drank some wine, and thought that a group of virgins from Athens would be sent in soon, so he was in a very good mood, and he couldn't help but feel a little elated.

Looking at the half-drunk and half-awake minotaur, Theseus felt that this was a good opportunity to strike, so he walked quietly behind the Minotaur, raised his sharp sword, and was about to slash the back of the Minotaur.

But at this moment, there was a loud "bang" from the wall on the left of Theseus, and the splash of lime covered his face, making him unable to open his eyes.

"Then find a way to walk in a straight line, and you can always get out." Then a little girl's voice came from the other side of the wall where a hole had been smashed.

"Ah!!" The Minotaur regained consciousness suddenly after being frightened by the loud noise, and seeing Theseus holding a sword behind him, he immediately raised his giant ax and let out a roar.

Theseus was unable to dodge in time, and barely blocked the Minotaur's axe with his sword, but he was also slammed into the wall by the powerful arm of Minotaur, and the sword in his hand was also thrown out.He fell from the wall, felt a sharp pain in his chest, and coughed up a mouthful of blood heavily.

"Ah, what's that?" Jodel blinked, pointed to the Minotaur with the head of a bull, and asked the little blond boy beside him.Since she was able to see things, she hadn't really seen any other creatures except Diarmuid and the boys.

The blond-haired little boy crossed the big hole and glanced at the monster in front of him, "Isn't he just a lowly bastard who is neither human nor cow?" His eyes were full of disdain.

The Minotaur was going to give Theseus another fatal blow, but he couldn't help being angry when he heard these words.It resolutely carried the huge ax and turned in one direction, with two bull noses blowing hot air.

Its protruding bull's eyes scrutinized the two children who suddenly appeared, "You two little devils are sacrifices from Athens, so let's make sacrifices with your teeth first!"

The Minotaur's huge ax slashed across the air, and chopped straight at the blond boy's head.

The blond-haired little prince, with a cold gleam in his red eyes, took over the giant ax that was cut at him with his bare hand, and one person and one monster began to stalemate.The Minotaur used all his strength to grab the handle of the ax and tried to cut it down, but he was caught by the little blond prince with both hands.

Jodell looked at the two people who were confronting each other, and then at the sword that fell beside Theseus.She silently picked up the sword and raised it effortlessly.

Theseus stroked his chest, with bloodshot eyes on the corner of his mouth, and looked at her in surprise. The sword was an epee, and even he just happened to be comfortable with it.The seven or eight-year-old girl picked it up easily, without any sign of difficulty.

Jodelle turned the sword in her hand twice, and felt that it was not very suitable for her hand. She took off the bracelet on her right hand and picked it up with her right hand again. This time she felt that it felt almost right.

The Minotaur was still in a stalemate with the little blond prince, and suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. He lowered his head in disbelief, and saw a sharp sword coming out of its abdomen.

Yodel pulled out the sword expressionlessly, and glanced at the blood that flowed from the Minotaur.

"It turns out that the blood color of this monster is the same as that of humans." She glanced at the blood that Theseus vomited on the ground, and said so.

The bull-headed monster didn't fall down because of this, but was even more enraged. Regardless of his injuries, he swung his ax vigorously at the two children.

"Cut, damn it!" The little blond boy snatched the sword from Yodel's hand, "You're just making trouble for this prince."

Jodelle yawned, and stood in the corner to watch the wonderful battle between the little blond prince and the monster with the head of a bull.

Because of the previous injuries, the monster's movements were obviously much slower, and now it was relying on brute force to slash and kill wantonly.The blond-haired boy also saw this. Taking advantage of his small body, he kept disrupting the rhythm of the Minotaur's attacks, and finally cut off one of its feet by surprise, and patched it on its chest again. one knife.Before the Minotaur died, his bull's eyes widened in disbelief, and tears of blood flowed out.

"You bastard, don't you have to rely on this prince to save you in the end?!" The blond little prince stared at Jodelle panting.

Jodelle acted as if she didn't hear what he said, and she didn't even bother to give him a look.

At this time, she looked at the Minotaur's bull head, and felt that these two long horns were really rare, and thought to chop off its head later, and save it as a gift for Diarmuid, he Will definitely like it.
