Chapter 742 - The Minotaur (2/2)
He disappeared from the ground and headed toward the settlement, luring every single minotaur in there. Meanwhile, Alex and Leoz moved a few meters forward and hid under the sand as Alex made a protective sphere there.
Nelson did his job right as he returned with all the minotaurs inside the next settlement, especially with their leader behind them. The timing and positioning were perfect for Alex as he kept looking at the position of their leader.
Anna and the others showed themselves as they were the main offense. However, Nelson instantly disappeared from the front, going around them and heading to their back.
Alex saw everything and snapped his finger, creating a teleportation array right behind the boss. He summoned the Spatial Gate in front of him, so the monster would run through it, albeit he was smarter than he thought.
The moment he saw Alex's Spatial Gate, he immediately stomped his right foot on the sand, forcefully stopping his momentum.
Nelson had regrouped with Alex and Leoz, slashing his sword together with them.
”Heaven Light Slash.”
”Shadow Slash.”
”Thunder Spirit Slash.”
”Moo!” The minotaur clenched his war hammer and swung it backward, clashing with their attacks. Unfortunately, he lost in momentum and power, resulting in him getting blown away by this attack.
Alex smiled when he saw the minotaur enter the Spatial Gate as he set it a few hundred meters away from the location since he might interfere with their battles. Alex and the others followed the minotaur through the gate, trying to kill it as quickly as possible.
”Go attack him from two different directions. As soon as you see an opening, kill it.” Alex said with a solemn expression as he summoned fifteen Fire Swords, sending them flying toward the minotaur.
”Moo!” The latter seemed to be angry because it couldn't see his kin. He charged toward Alex before swinging his hammer to his left and tilted his head to the right, attacking a shadow with his horn.
Leoz and Nelson appeared at the same time as they couldn't advance due to this movement.
Alex didn't say anything and flew together with his Fire Swords.
The minotaur struck most of the Fire Swords with his hammer, but when he wanted to hit Alex, the latter had disappeared.
Nelson and Leoz attacked him once more, forcing him to stop moving. Alex then made his appearance on the minotaur's back, swinging his weapons three times.
”Mythical Fire Slash.”
”Space Cut.”
Just like he said previously, Alex was planning to use everything he got from the beginning. He watched the twelve Sword Waves flying toward the minotaur before Nelson was blown away by the sheer strength of the minotaur.
”No, you don't!” Leoz gritted his teeth and released all of his strength, including his lightning, to ensure that the minotaur couldn't use its hammer. However, the minotaur could still move since Nelson failed his task.
”!!!” Alex furrowed his eyebrows as he watched how the minotaur suddenly used Leoz as the center, going around him to avoid Alex's attack. He narrowed his eyes and summoned a Spatial Gate, sending his attack to the other battlefield and killing some monsters.
Nelson then gritted his teeth and jumped toward the minotaur, slashing his sword at his eyes.
”Shadow Slash!”
Alex glanced at Leoz, asking him to attack the minotaur as well. Leoz nodded and retreated a few steps back before slashing his sword. ”Thunder Spirit Slash.”
”Mythical Fire Slash.” Alex used the same technique without the Space Cut, slashing toward the minotaur's right foot.
With this, there were three attacks heading toward his eyes, body, and foot.
The minotaur bent down, raised his foot, and swung his hammer. Alex watched this and smiled, knowing that the minotaur would survive this way. Unfortunately, Alex had his Space Element. He snapped his finger, creating four Spatial Gates in which three of them were used to capture the three attacks and the last one was used to release all of them toward a single spot, and that is his neck.
”Leoz, Nelson!” Alex suddenly shouted and leaped toward the minotaur.
”!!!” Realizing that the minotaur was still able to dodge this, they immediately synchronized their movement with Alex and struck the minotaur to keep him in one place.
”Moo!” The minotaur roared and utilized every ounce of his strength to blast them away. And he even succeeded in this, only to find himself couldn't dodge the combined attack.
The three attacks sliced its neck, killing in the spot.
Alex breathed out of relief. ”Luckily, the movement of this minotaur was simple and predictable. And with his body not as flexible as the Dark Elf, we could kill this one pretty fast.”
”Yeah. I am sorry that I am not strong enough to hold him back.” Nelson felt guilty since Alex should kill it with his first attack if he held him in place.
”It's fine. I used it as a diversion anyway to make the Minotaur think I don't have a plan to kill him with Spatial Gate, albeit he seemed to have far lower intelligence than the Dark Elf. It is really hard to fight against an intelligent being.” Alex sighed.
”Yes. That's why we need a plan after plan in dealing with a single Fire God Clan. Besides, I hope that the parent monster of this realm doesn't have any bodyguards or else, it will be the hardest fight for us.” Nelson nodded.
”Yeah. We also need to make sure that he couldn't escape with Spatial Gate.” Alex thought for a moment and shook his head. ”Anyway, I can think about this later. We will help the others first.”
”Yes.”
