Chapter 282 The Minotaur is Unrivaled
"It's a minotaur..."
'
Yukino Yukinoshita looked at the minotaur who had appeared, her expression serious, and sighed softly.
They had read many novels about other worlds, so they naturally knew most of the creatures in those other worlds.
The minotaurs, they knew it very well too.
But the minotaurs here are definitely different from those in the novel.
It is also an intruder from the fourth level, following the orcs.
Its strength is only greater than that of the orcs.
"Natsuo, what should we do?" Shiina Mahiru asked Natsuo, preparing for the worst.
"Let me test its strength first." Xia Sheng took out his katana and prepared to walk towards the minotaur.
It had noticed them, but did not rush to attack; it simply watched them calmly.
Is it due to overconfidence, or is it out of caution?
Its bull-headed appearance reveals nothing about its thoughts.
However, there is one good thing: for the time being, it will not be like that particular goblin whose main goal is to invade the world. It seems that its primary goal is to eliminate these defenders.
"I'll help too!" Shiina Mahiru wanted to join Natsuo.
"No!" Xia Sheng immediately stopped him.
Why?
"This minotaur is wielding a giant axe, clearly a warrior type. If you get close... I'll test its speed first."
Although Shiina Mahiru also possesses body enhancement magic, her physique has never been enhanced. If she were attacked by a minotaur, she could potentially transform from Shiina into Mokuyu.
Even though she had a magic-proof dress, he was still worried.
Xia Sheng absolutely did not want to see such a scene; he had to ensure absolute safety.
"I understand..." Shiina Mahiru didn't intend to show off and obediently nodded.
"Take this iron sword, just in case."
Natsumi took out the iron sword again and handed it to Shiina Mahiru. He glanced at Yukino Yukinoshita before walking towards the minotaur.
Yukino Yukinoshita stared at his retreating figure, biting her lower lip with a conflicted expression.
She had a bad feeling.
Xia Sheng stopped a few meters away from the minotaur, and they locked eyes.
The atmosphere was solemn and tense.
At one point, the minotaur grinned and began to move. It raised its right arm, which was holding the giant axe, and then stepped out with its right foot.
Swish-!
Its body suddenly transformed into a blur, instantly appearing before Xia Sheng.
"!" Xia Sheng was startled and hurriedly raised his katana to block. He activated his body enhancement magic and instinctively added magic power to the katana.
His sense of danger told him that he had to do this.
bite-!
The sound of metal clashing rang out, and sparks flew as a cold glint flashed.
boom--!
Without any stalemate, Xia Sheng's body flew backward.
"Natsuo—!" Shiina Mahiru shouted worriedly.
"I'm fine!"
Natsumi adjusted his body in mid-air and landed steadily in front of Shiina Mahiru and the others.
His arms trembled as he gripped his katana tightly, staring intently at the minotaur lying on the spot, cold sweat dripping down his cheeks.
Incredible speed and immense strength—that's the power the Minotaur possesses.
He is a true warrior.
In that instant exchange, Xia Sheng realized one thing: the minotaur was stronger than him and could crush him.
Their speeds were about the same, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to react at all, but its power was far superior to his.
If it weren't for his sense of danger, which allowed him to use body enhancement magic and imbue his katana with magical power, he might have already lost his life.
That axe blow was too much for a katana to withstand.
Xia Sheng raised his still trembling arm and glanced at the spot where the katana had been cleaved. The blade, wrapped in a shimmering white magic, had a section of its magical coating broken off in the middle.
No way!
Xia Sheng thought of something terrifying: the minotaurs might have the ability to break through magic!
To verify his hypothesis, he quickly raised his hand, palm facing the minotaur. Fire element condensed, and a fireball quickly formed, which he then smashed towards it.
The minotaur stood still, watching the fireball approach silently, then raised his giant axe and gently chopped it down.
An unbelievable scene unfolded.
The fireball was easily cleaved in two by the giant axe, just like a dumpling; the energy didn't explode and simply dissipated.
"What!?" Yukino Yukinoshita exclaimed in surprise upon seeing this scene.
"It seems that the minotaur possesses the ability to break magic, or perhaps it's that axe it wields," Xia Sheng asserted.
"Its speed is still so fast, and its strength is still so great..." Yukino Yukinoshita murmured in shock.
The scene of Xia Sheng being sent flying in an instant made her realize the gap between the two of them at once.
The minotaur is not an opponent that Xia Sheng can face head-on.
He needs Mahiru's help.
But Mahiru is even less capable of dealing with it. If it were to target Mahiru... Yukino Yukinoshita doesn't even want to think about that scenario.
Minotaur are formidable enemies!
An absolutely formidable opponent!
This is a formidable enemy that they cannot defeat through normal means!
If he awakens, will he be able to deal with it?
Yukino Yukinoshita couldn't help but think of this, because she couldn't think of how Natsuo and the others would deal with it.
But there's no point in thinking about it now!
call out-!
While Yukino was lost in thought, Natsuo conjured a water gun and shot it at the minotaur, wanting to confirm whether the minotaur could truly break the spell.
As expected, the minotaur raised his giant axe, the blade aimed at the water gun, and the water gun was severed the moment it made contact and then dissipated.
It has completely lost its magical power.
call--!
Xia Sheng then conjured wind blades and slashed at the minotaur.
The result was the same: when the wind blades came into contact with the giant axe, they lost all their power, turned into a gentle breeze, lost their form, and dissipated into the air.
Magic was indeed useless, as the minotaurs possessed the ability to break magic, but Xia Sheng was not discouraged at all; on the contrary, he was overjoyed.
He was certain that the one with the power to break the spell was not the minotaur, but its weapon, its axe.
This is really good stuff.
It would be a real shame not to snatch such a treasure.
Moreover, if he could devour the flesh and blood of the minotaurs, he would become even stronger.
A hint of madness flashed in Xia Sheng's eyes. He was full of fighting spirit, licked his lips, and grinned.
It's a danger, but it's also an opportunity.
"Natsuo, let me help you!" Shiina Mahiru came to Natsuo's side.
Xia Sheng looked at her; her gaze was firm and brooked no refusal.
"Okay." Xia Sheng smiled and nodded.
At this point, refusing her would only make her more rebellious, since she doesn't want to see him get into trouble and would definitely take action.
It's better to cooperate properly.
"However, I will be in charge of the attack, and you will assist me from the side," Xia Sheng said, changing the subject.
"That's exactly what I was thinking." Shiina Mahiru smiled slightly.
"Then find the right opportunity." After saying that, Xia Sheng charged at the minotaur again with his katana.
The body enhancement magic is activated, magic power is attached to the katana, and the speed is increased to the extreme.
He wasn't sure if the minotaur was hiding his strength, so he dared not be careless and had to go all out.
"roar!"
When the minotaur saw Xia Sheng charging towards him, his bull-faced man actually revealed an excited smile, as if he was happy to have met his match.
It swung its giant axe and charged towards Xia Sheng with incredible speed, leaving only a blur.
The two sides clashed instantly, sparks flying and blades flashing.
With each collision, Xia Sheng was pushed back. His strength was no match for the minotaur, and he could only fight back by using his energy to deplete his strength.
But he was fearless and, as if possessed, continued to attack the minotaur.
This was a clash of strength and speed, a battle unlike any other before, and Natsumi's inner fighting spirit was ignited.
He gained considerable power, but never fully displayed it; the minotaurs gave him an outlet for it.
Although I can't beat them, it's not like I can't fight them. After all, swords and axes are different techniques.
The glint of light from the friction of metal flashed constantly as it moved about, making the figures of the two people difficult to discern with the naked eye.
Shiina Mahiru could only pinpoint their location by the streaks of sparks that flew out.
She had already changed her appearance; her long, gray hair cascaded down her back, giving her a seductive and feminine air.
In her palm, a black fire lotus was gathering, a black flame capable of burning everything.
If we seize the opportunity, we can burn the minotaurs.
As for whether its axe can be burned, that needs to be verified.
