Chapter 70 - Getting Stronger (1/2)

I held onto the minotaur's horns as tight as I could. Blood started to trickle down the side of my mouth. Like a heartbeat, every so often electric shocks were being sent through my body. I couldn't hold on for much longer.

The minotaur had its head stuck out towards me, it's arms and legs grounded so it could use all its strength to try to push me further into the wall. Thankfully the minotaur's arms were quite short making it unable to reach me.

Just then, Gary, Monk and Noir appeared from behind it. They jumped on it's back and started to climb towards its neck. Gary was using his full strength with sword Ki but as soon as his blade went against the minotaur's neck, his blade completely shattered.

Monk was next with his two daggers, he was using Ki in his legs, enabling him to build up as much speed as possible before he struck. He too went for the neck as it looked like the softest place on the beast. As he dashed forward Monk went to stab the beast but his daggers just bounced off not even leaving a mark.

The last attempt was made by Noir, Noir managed to sink its teeth into the beast neck but the beast didn't even seem to react. Eventually, a pulse of electric ran through the minotaur's body shocking both I and Noir causing Noir to let go.

”We have to run!” Gary shouted!

”We can't even hurt the thing,” Monk said.

To be honest, I was surprised the two of them didn't bolt it the second the plan didn't work. What was making them stay here? clearly, we were outclassed and there wasn't a chance we were going to survive this. If they left now I wouldn't even blame them.

”The second I let go of its horns it will pierce my body. You two just leave now, let Noir take you out of here!” I shouted.

”We can't do that! We are all getting out of here alive, this is all my fault, to begin with, I was the one who brought us here.” Gary shouted.

Gary and Monk then quickly tried to gather their Ki and barge into the beast hoping it would fall over. When they collided into the minotaur it felt like they were trying to push a mountain. The beast didn't budge. Then a pulse of electric ran through its body causing Monk and Gary to be sent flying in the air.

The two of them quickly got up and attempted to try again.

Watching the two repeat the same thing over and over made an odd feeling rush over me. They didn't deserve to die in a hole like this. There were many humans that deserved a death like this but not them two.

”YES!” I shouted.

Suddenly notification screens started to sound like crazy.

.....

”YES!” I shouted again.

Suddenly, the mana started to supplement mi Ki causing it to grow bigger. I moved the Ki into my hands as I was getting stronger, the minotaur electric felt like it was getting weaker.

Eventually, it seemed like I was winning in this tug of war with the minotaur. I was starting to push it back.
