Chapter 933 – How Long Has It Been?
“Cloudy, Risha. Keep watch behind us.”
The minotaur’s aura seemed ominous, but that blockhead would be mincemeat the moment my blade touched it. Or a beef patty! More than that, Byugal isn’t just for chickens; it’s for cows! And even if I were to butcher a chicken, I’d still use a cow-slaughtering blade! That’s the mindset that creates victory!!
Behold!!
The sight of Hwa-woong, using a cow-slaughtering blade on a chicken, being slain by Guan Yu! The foolish Hwa-woong was killed by the professional serial killer Guan Yu before his wine even cooled!!
For Hwa-woong and Guan Yu’s sake, I’ll throw a beef party today!!!
“Seongdo-nim…! Be careful!! It’s so huge that we can’t take advantage of a coordinated attack!!!”
Elise shouted, raising her iron club while staying alert.
“Let me see!!”
How many pounds of beef is that!!!
Its body was so massive that it nearly filled the corridor. Well, not completely, but you’d have to kill it no matter what to get past it.
But the size is too perfect… I wondered if it was a monster artificially placed to guard this dungeon.
If so, that means they placed several minotaurs that seemed so strong to defend it.
Why would they do that?
I didn’t think an ordinary human would do this. According to Elise, this monster was a ferocious beast that was active during the Idol War. Unless you’re a beast master, you wouldn’t be able to control such a monster.
Then is it related to evil beings?
If not humans, did other evil races create this dungeon? To protect something inside? I don’t think evil bastards would protect a sealed demon king… Whatever it is, I have to kill it first.
ㅡKrrr…!!
Suddenly, the minotaur wrapped its forearm in black aura.
As if steam were rising from overheated muscles, a dark, antisocial energy that seemed to have no use other than for murderous purposes swirled and settled on its forearm.
“It’s an evil aura!”
“What a crazy bastard!!!”
Is it the power used by demons and heretics?
No… It feels a bit different.
Not all black auras are the same. Above all, this guy was said to be a monster race that was active during the Idol War. It may be an unknown power that is not properly known in this era.
More than anything, it’s a big deal that a muscular monster with such a huge physique uses a power like aura. If there is the same aura, the one with more physique and power will always be more advantageous.
So this is why this monster has a legend as a formidable foe. Come to think of it, monsters that use aura like this were quite rare.
ㅡKuaaaaaaaah!!!!
Anyway, the minotaur roared and charged straight ahead, crossing its arms in an X to protect its head.
ㅡKuang!
ㅡKwaang!
Every time its hooves kicked the floor, the stone corridor was shattered and stone fragments flew.
Truly tremendous power and inhuman speed.
First of all, judging from the fact that it’s charging in a narrow passage based on its physique and aura, and that it’s trying to protect its head right away, it seemed to be a monster that knows how to fight.
“Seongdo-nim! I don’t think we can withstand that kind of power!!!”
“No, Elise!! We can do it!!!”
“You can do it…! Don’t tell me! Do you think you can stop that right now!”
“Yes!!!!”
“The fact that you think that means you’ve become that much stronger! Then I’ll assist you!”
ㅡTsupat!
Then a divine radiance blazed from my sword.
It’s Elise’s Holy Enchant.
“No, but the power?”
A truly brilliant light was being emitted. The momentum was completely different from the Holy Enchants so far… This power is, could it be!
“Elise! You’ve grown!”
“Of course!!!”
Good!!! If I add my sword flame to this Holy Enchant, there will be no opponent I can’t kill!! It’s even more fatal if the enemy is a monster!!!
“Gyaaaaaaaat!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
I kicked off the ground with a brave shout like the great Greek hero Theseus. The minotaur’s momentum was like a cannonball, but if it’s a head-on fight, I’ll win!!!
ㅡHwareureureuk!!!
Since it’s the first time I’ve seen this opponent, I have to go all out from the start. I immediately ignited sword flame on the blade.
“S, Seongdo-nim! That’s!!!”
At the same time, I heard Elise’s exclamation from behind.
It looked pretty good to me too.
The sword flame and Holy Enchant combined made it look like the sword was literally engulfed in sacred flames. Ah, here’s a quick trivia (actually trivia). Byugal has already become a sword of life, so there’s no problem even if it receives a Holy Enchant.
Anyway.
ㅡHwoong!
The extremely accelerated minotaur lunged at me as if trying to collide with me without releasing its X-crossed arms.
ㅡKukwakwakwakwang!!!
It could be said to be a crude fighting method that simply believes in its physical abilities and aura. Of course, most guys wouldn’t be able to withstand this charge and would become human jerky.
ㅡKuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!!!!!!
Everything’s good, but.
Obstructing your vision is suicide.
Too much confidence is poison.
I held Byugal in reverse grip and leaned back, and at the same time, I powerfully stabbed the tip of the blade into the intersection of its X-crossed arms.
ㅡTu kwaaaaang!!!!!
The blade combined with sword flame and Holy Enchant pierced through its forearm very well.
ㅡPachangchang!
At the same time, the dark aura was shattered.
It seems the aura wasn’t even my match.
ㅡ…!
The minotaur stopped charging due to the impact of the sword being stabbed in. I also felt a tremendous impact, but my power was greater, so I was able to force it to stop.
ㅡKu, Kuooo…!
It seemed to be flustered and tried to adjust its posture and move its arms, but the excellent stake called Byugal was already driven into the center of its X-crossed arms, so it was completely sealed.
You should have expected this too.
I immediately let go of Byugal.
“What if you can’t use your arms in battle?”
Aiming for its empty right knee as it was.
ㅡShuuk!
“Heavenly Demon Low Kick.”
Forming each and every leg technique, I unleash a powerful low kick.
ㅡKwang!!!
With a tremendous cracking sound, my instep crushed and shattered its bones and flesh. It was a kick as if the Heavenly Demon Advent Step was shooting out its body, and its leg was cut off in vain.
ㅡHwiik.
My kick completely broke the minotaur’s knee and cut off its leg.
ㅡKuoook?!
An evil scream erupted, and the minotaur’s body, which had lost its leg, staggered to the side. It was still trying to resist by moving its sealed arms, but it could never pull out Byugal.
ㅡKuang!
Eventually, it crashed into the wall.
With that, its muscular side was completely empty. This is now just a sandbag or a target.
Forming fist energy, I aim for that place.
“Heavenly Demon Destruction Palm.”
I unleashed a full-powered punch.
ㅡPueoooooong!!
As the exquisite mysteries of the Reinforced Heavy Water Method combined with the fist energy that burned like sword flame pierced through its muscles, a loud explosion rang out. ㅡUlleok! That was the end. The black organs that exploded from the inside burst out like water balloons.
ㅡKueoooooook…!
Our beef cow collapsed and fell in the dungeon corridor. No matter how evil an ancient monster is, it will die if it spills its internal organs.
“You.”
Only then did I pull out Byugal, which was stuck in its forearm.
“Weak.”
It seemed strong and tricky, but it was no match for me after all. But I don’t know about the other paladins. This is a difficult bastard to catch. It would be very difficult in this dungeon, let alone in an open space.
ㅡDeongeong!
Anyway, I immediately dragged its corpse out and cut off its head.
“To kill a minotaur so easily!!!”
ㅡTutatat!
Elise, who ran over, shouted with a look of emotion.
“How strong have you become, Seongdo-nim!!!!!!”
“Did you see it.”
I immediately shook off the blood on Byugal and put it back in its sheath.
“My strength.”
“The best, the strongest!! You seem to have become stronger than the warriors of our order!! To achieve such a dazzling growth…! It’s incomparable to the past!!”
“Hehehe, that’s right!!”
I have gained inhuman power.
“I wanted to show you my growth, but it’s insignificant compared to Seongdo-nim!!”
“Insignificant! Don’t shrink yourself!!! You must always be confident!!! This kind of confidence is what forms strength!!!!”
If you have infinite confidence, you can easily endure harsh and endless training!! You must believe that you can do it and put effort into training!
Then people can grow!!!
“T, to say such good words…! Perhaps because it’s Seongdo-nim’s words, they seem to be properly engraved in my heart!!!”
The excited Elise praised me with sparkling eyes. After all, anyone would be amazed if they cut this crazy cow head soup bastard in 5 seconds.
“Seeing Seongdo-nim’s changes with my own eyes is more than touching, it’s moving!!!”
“Divine!!!!!!”
“Friend!!!!!!!!!!”
I suddenly said to Elise, who was shouting in emotion.
“But why didn’t you do Dejaaah earlier?”
“Yes?”
Elise, who was momentarily flustered, widened her eyes.
“Why didn’t you do it?”
Why didn’t you do it.
“S, Seongdo-nim! Stop with the mischievousness!”
But Elise protested confidently without shrinking.
“Why do you keep trying to make me do such things in crowded places! I know everything now! I know that Seongdo-nim is doing it on purpose!!!”
Ah, damn it, Elise has become more perceptive as she gets older.
“That’s… because I’m not ashamed! I told you! I have confidence! Those kinds of gazes are nothing to me! That’s why I’m doing it!!”
“It sounds like a great saying, but doing such things in crowded places will eventually lead to being a nuisance, Seongdo-nim!!! I won’t be fooled anymore!”
Damn it…!
“Please don’t induce my carelessness and make me do strange things! Stop with the mischievous pranks!!!”
“I have nothing to say…!”
I’m just resentful of Elise’s growth.
If she continues to grow like this, my dream of putting Elise on stage and demonstrating the Executive Chief’s Fist Technique will scatter like bubbles.
Anyway, while I was doing that, Cloudy and Risha, who were guarding the rear, approached.
“Katt… Really. I’m so proud now that I’m about to cry.”
Cloudy said, putting her hand on my head. She had a smile on her face as if she was more than satisfied.
“This much is nothing now.”
“Hehehe, at this rate, you’ll soon be as strong as Karin, right?”
“Of course, Cloudy.”
Of course, I have to.
Saying that, I looked at Risha.
“…”
But… Risha had a serious look on her face for some reason.
“Why is a minotaur in a place like this…”
Risha, who was looking down at the minotaur’s corpse, said that.
“Risha? Do you know something?”
“…”
Risha didn’t answer my question and just kept her face stiff.
This… means Risha knows something. The fact that Risha is reacting this seriously means there’s definitely something going on.
“Risha? Are you okay?”
“Ah… It’s nothing.”
When I put my hand on her shoulder, Risha put her hand on the back of my hand and answered.
“I was just surprised because it was so unexpected.”
“What surprised you so much?”
“I was surprised that there was such an evil monster. Isn’t it such a rare monster that you can only see it in books? It was such an unexpected situation that I was a little shaken. I wonder what’s sleeping inside…”
Would Risha react like this just for that reason?
She looks quite suspicious.
“Let’s take this corpse with us.”
“Yes… We have to. We have to take things like this with us no matter what.”
I want to eat it if possible.
Because this is ancient beef.
