20 Deaths Door Way (1/2)
The metallic and iron taste of blood coated my mouth. Everything hurt, I was trying to make my body move, he'd barely hit me. But it felt like I'd be slammed by a train, he was infinitely stronger than me.
My vision kept swimming, I felt sick to my stomach. Blood dripped down the back of my neck and slides in a steady trickle down my back. It was also running into one of my eyes, using the wall to support my body, I reach a hand up and swipe at the blood.
Struggling to keep myself upright, I gasp trying to draw air into my lungs, I felt like I was dying. My sword was laying to far side just to the left of Minotaur, I had a couple of knives hidden all around my body. But it didn't matter if I wasn't able to hit the damn monster.
It let out a loud cackle all of the sudden. That echoed off the walls of the maze.
”Punny human lay down and submit to me and I might use you as my plaything!” The Minotaur spoke, his voice was like a distorted jumble of voices. His tongue poked out of his mouth as he licked his lips and looked at my body leeringly.
This thing was a thousand years too early to think that he could use me as his plaything. I'd crush his balls between my feet! A burning rage welled up deep within my stomach.
”Dumb beast, you should submit to me while you still have the chance!” I snarl, my brain was on overdrive trying to think of what I could do to beat this monster. Breathing through, my nose I try to stop the dizziness that I was feeling.
There had to be something, I willed the skill menu to open, reaching a hand up I scroll and tap on 'Hecate's Boon' the skill menu opens. I quickly flick downwards, If I remembered right there was a spell in here that I could use once every 24 hours.
If a skill had that long of a cooldown, that meant that it had to be powerful, right? I quickly tapped, the skill and it opened a large number of words appeared in front of my face. My eyes flew across the page trying to read through it all before the Minotaur moved again.
I'd found it, opening my mouth I prepared to cast the spell.
This had all transpired in a matter of seconds, although, sensing the difference in her the Minotaur had moved forward and grabbed her by the throat.
She had no time to move at all. He felt like he should squeeze the life out of this woman. If he didn't then an impending sense of doom hung over his head. Never in these many years of existence had he ever felt the level of keen fear as he had now.
It was as if someone had poured a large bucket of ice water down his back. A cold tingle ran up his back as he turned his full attention on the woman in front of him.
She was indeed quite beautiful, even covered in a large amount of blood. It made her sparkling silver hair, a deep burgundy making her feel like a true demon. Her horns were elegant and arched perfectly out of her forehead.
