Both of its arms glowed yellow as it readied another powerful punch attack.
Does this kid even know what he’s doing?
The kid raised his own yellow glowing fist and collided it with the minotaur’s.
SMASH!
The minotaur didn’t hurl across the park like last time, but it did get pushed back. Its clawed feet left a trail in the dirt.
So the dumb kid was somehow more powerful than the minotaur? How was that even possible?
The minotaur swung with its other hand and the boy met it again.
SMASH!
The minotaur was pushed back, but not as far this time.
The kid had used his ability three times now. Even with the strength he was displaying, she found it hard to believe this kid was more than E-rank. That meant he could seriously injure himself if he used that ability for a fourth time in such close succession.
The minotaur rushed at the kid once more.
The teenaged boy readied his fist once more with the glowing yellow aura.
Idiot!!
The two fists collided and the minotaur was sent back, less than a meter.
The kid on the other hand collapsed on the ground. Unconscious. Maybe dead.
With the kid indisposed, the minotaur turned back to Sakura now.
It took a step towards her.
“Try and suffocate me again, jackass,” she said.
She had to use all her power here.
She triggered her slice ability.
The beam of energy stretched out, zooming across the park.
The energy blade moved so fast, the minotaur didn’t have time to dodge or even block the attack.
The beam of energy pierced the skull of the minotaur, ripping through its hide.
“Argh,” said Sakura, gritting her teeth as she pushed the energy blade deeper into the creature’s skull.
The energy blade broke through the second wall of defense and sliced through the creature’s brain.
The minotaur’s glowing red eyes faded to a subdued black.
It then collapsed on the ground.
The body of the monster glowed silver until it shrunk down to its red-hued monster core, leaving a few coins behind as well.
Sakura quickly glanced at the core.
Ruby core just like she thought.
She picked up the monster core and coins and tucked them away for later.
She hurried over to the kid and picked him up.
The idiot needed medical attention as soon as possible.
She ran forward, carrying him in her arms.
She hoped it wasn’t already too late.

An hour later, Sakura stood over the resting boy in the hospital wing.
He was sound asleep, hooked up to different monitors, checking his heartbeat and mana meridians.
“Sakura?”
A young man entered the hospital room. It was the city climber she’d spoken to after arriving at the hospital and letting the healers take over on mending the kid.
The man gripped a folder with a few documents enclosed.
