11 Griffin Defense Part 2 (2/2)
”Looks like Obsidian bit off the Minotaur's arm. I'll put it on the screen for you”, Orai said.
Sure enough, the Minotaur was in Titanoboa's constriction without his left arm. As the blood began squirting aggressively, I saw Obsidian glowing dark purple with the arm in his mouth. Since they were both Dark Types and of the same rank, I guessed that the lightning didn't work on him. Dire Wolves, being natural hunters, had similar Strength, Agility, and Speed as the Minotaurs. Titanoboa quickly threw the Minotaur against the wall, with his unique battleaxe falling on the ground. I quickly put the item into storage while he was dazed and in shock. It took a number of seconds for items dropped on the Dungeon's floor to be absorbed and added. It's important to note that Minotaur's derived their individual power from the special, rune-inscribed battleaxe that they carry at all times. This essentially meant that the disabled Minotaur could not use his lightning abilities without it.
Since the Minotaurs were high-endurance creatures, it got up and took out the second battleaxe that it had on it's back. Minotaurs usually dual-wield both axes when it's not using its magic. Effectively using their magic required an open-hand and the inscribed axe, which the minotaur had neither of. Despite its current status, the minotaur still had to be taken seriously. As the Water elemental heavily restrained his only arm, the Golems and Orcs began their attack. While the Orcs left multiple cuts on the Minotaur, he was powerless to escape. When the Golems finally arrived, the Orcs stepped back and jogged over to support Bose. As the golems began to graphically smash and stomp on the Minotaur repeatedly, it was clear that this Minotaur was finally dead.
”Jeez. That was kind of graphic. Good thing I don't have to see that body for much longer. We'll need those materials and 200 DP for our future plans”, I said nauseously.
I got the notification about the 200 DP and the components that I gained from the Minotaur. B+ Blood, Horns, and many more Minotaur components were added to storage. As I summoned the Minotaurs Axe, I got the same notification 20 seconds later with different components listed. Initially, I thought the system was bugged but when I looked at the screen, I saw a rather graphic image of the other Minotaur. Safe to say he wouldn't have to worry about his headaches anymore.
”Bose. Beat. Minotaur!”, Bose shouted.
Bose's Axe-Greatsword was soaked in Minotaur blood, as he picked up the Minotaur's Axe. Judging from his stance, it seemed that he knew how to dual wield.
”Holy Shit! Brigg's Golem is kinda badass! I know it's an A+ but damn! I guess the real question is if the other mobs fought”, I asked Orai.
”Unsurprisingly, the answer is no. They were in Bose's way so he told them to stand and watch. You should've seen the fight! The Minotaur was a Demonic Lightning type and still lost! To have armor with shock resistance that high, you have to wonder how Briggs made it”, Orai said.
As the Headless Minotaur fell on the floor, I was now 400 DP richer and with various high-grade components in my Storage. Since I was a summoner specialization, the Dungeon gained the ability to collect more components than usual. With these components, I can either craft a custom monster for the Dungeon or summon a beast for when I'm traveling around.
After seemingly reaching the end of the battle, Orai and I fell onto our King-sized Mattress where we laid exhausted from the stress. Thankfully, the softness of the Mattress helped us to regain some of our energy and calmness. Our celebration was cut short, however, as we heard a mixture of Griffin Roars and Screeches.
As we heard the Griffin roar, I remembered an important excerpt from the Encyclopedia and laughed:
”A Griffin has an acute sense of smell and even a drop of blood is potent”.
That's what funny.
We had two pools of it.
