"GRAAAAAA!

"

nClash!

nA giant humanoid of over four meters tall with the upper half of a human with the lower half of and the head of a cow, a Minotaur, swung his giant axe around while slashing through the temple where it awakened from its slumber.

nIts eyes were red shot and enraged, and its entire body unleashed an Aura of Fear, a powerful skill that made weaker beings afraid of fighting the user.

nHowever, in its eyes, he was the one that seemed afraid…

nThe Boss of the Ogre's Dark Forest Dungeon, made out of ten floors was the Giant Minotaur Axe King, a Rank 6 monster with the ability to split a small hill on its own with its axe and to ravage a whole city if it so desired.

nOnly adventurers above C-Rank could give it a fight, and that only if they were a large party of over five, if not, there would be the need for dozens of D-Rank Adventurers with the possibility of many of them dying, in that case, only a B-Class adventure could save the day, and they were highly rare.

nOf course, such strong monsters did not roam the Devil Forest because they were slumbering inside the large dungeons, barely getting out on what was often called 'Monster Rampages' or 'Monster Waves'.

nAnd because it was a Dungeon Boss, it was often trapped inside its Boss Room, which was the temple in the middle of the forest of the tenth floor of the 'Ogre's Dark Forest' Dungeon.

nThis dungeon didn't have a name as it was never explored by any tribe that lived in the Devil Forest, but it was named like this by Veronica as it had a ton of Ogre-type monsters such as Goblins, Hobgoblins, Ogres, and Minotaur, alongside a few other non-ogres like Giant Lizards, who were on the minority.

nGoliath, although he was a Giant, could not match the Minotaur's height and could barely work as a meat shield before having its arms chopped off by the Minotaur's axe. So he was currently reattaching his arms while apologizing to Ervas with Gaia helping him heal back, even if he was a corpse, it seems that by infusing hundreds of thousands of mana (by Ervas) into healing spells, even the wounds of corpses could be healed.

nThe Minotaur had thought that it would be an easy job in how easy he got rid of Goliath, but he was quite wrong, a smaller being, Anna was putting a greater fight than Goliath, using her smaller axe in comparison to the Minotaur and her decent speed to slash the beast's knees.

n

"GRAAAA!!!

"

nClash! Clash! Clash!

nIn raging pain, the Minotaur slashed the floor while trying to catch Anna, whose speed was even better than before she had her two legs.

nDue to using a Prosthetic Leg that was one of Veronica's Clones and also harbored dead spirits, being a 'Cursed Prosthetic Leg', Anna acquired a skill that increased her agility while being equipped with it, and also this Cursed Equipment was able to enhance Anna's capabilities for a bit, it was tremendously sturdy and even her kicks could crush the Minotaur's bones.

n

"Hahaha, you're way too slow, my old friend!

" laughed Anna with a confident smile, jumping through the air and releasing a slash with her axe that flew towards the Minotaur's face and sliced off its right eye.

n

"An eye for an eye, bastard!

" she said.

nThis Minotaur, although not the same, was of the same race as the monster that took Anna's leg and eye. At that time, a 'Monster Rampage' happened, and many dangerous, highly ranked monsters began to roam the Devil Forest, Anna made sure to exterminate them with Ismene, but many of them made sure to hide in secret.

nAnna rescued a group of young squirrel-kin children that went to explore around the village from a Rank 6 Giant Minotaur Axe King.

nIf it were not because Ismene and her group came to help her, she would have died protecting the children.

nOn her struggle to gain time, she lost her leg and one of her eyes… and the Minotaur was greatly weakened by her berserk-like attacks as well, and was finished off by Ismene and her group with a barrage of magic before it could defeat Anna in such struggle.

nNow that Anna was back in this dungeon and encountered the beast again… she wanted to exert small revenge.

nHaving polished her strength through Job changing and with Ervas and Veronica's Following skill, she was probably thrice as strong as before… she was even playing around with the Minotaur.

nThe Minotaur could defeat Goliath because he had just been 'revived' and his skills were low leveled alongside being Rank 4, but Anna at this moment was equivalent to, perhaps, a Rank 7 monster.

nShe didn't know that this Minotaur didn't have the same soul as the one that took her eye and leg, but even then, she wouldn't care much, she was driven by this revenge.

nShe jumped once again with her speed, as she released another slash on the Minotaur's right knee, however, her Axe suddenly got stuck in the hard bone.

nThe minotaur yelled in agony but gnashed its teeth as it tried to use this opportunity to smash Anna with its left leg.

n

"Not so fast, Bear's Claw!

"

n

"Blazing Kick, pekoooo!

"

nOf course, Anna wasn't alone in her 'revenge'.

nAcathea and Pekorina appeared from her sides raising paws and legs and hitting the axe Anna with them, the blade finally penetrated the hard bone and the Minotaur shrieked in agony as it saw its leg being sliced off finely like a hot knife through butter…

n

"GAAOOOOOOOO!

"

nLosing balance, it fell over the ground with a thunderous sound. Anna quickly took her axe back as she jumped over the Minotaur and unleashed various techniques over its head, its large and muscular hands could not stop due to the excitement.

nThe Minotaur roared as it used its giant muscular arms to fend off Anna as if she were a fly, and his giant axe was used as a shield as well.

n

"Let me help. Telekinetic Barrier,

" said the voice of a young toddler, Ervas, who appeared floating in the air and instantly created many transparent barriers with his Telekinesis and Shield Technique blended.

n

"Telekinetic Punch,

" he said, shaping the energy of his Telekinesis into large fists, covering them with the effects of Armor Technique and Unarmed Fighting Technique and raining the Minotaur with dozens of invisible attacks, greatly weakening its defensive movements.

n

"Let's go! Steel Claws!

"

n

"Piercing Steel Kick!

"

n

"Ravaging Axe!!!

"

nAcathea and Pekorina helped as well, pairing with Anna, the three began to slash the Minotaur's right arm until it bleeds so much that it was completely crimson-colored.

n

"Griishashsha!

"

n

"Grooowl!

"

n

"Here I come, guboo!

"

nAfterward, Nidhogg and Aqua entangled the giant beast with their bodies while weakening it with their attacks, Charlotte fired large, cannon-sized poison bullets that worsened the Minotaur's wounds and didn't let it regenerate back with 'Rapid Healing' which was at level 5.

n

"Time to use some magic, I am getting quite rusty on it. Shade, I am counting on you as always! Flashing Light Ray! Shadow Bullets!

"

n

"Leave it to me, Veronica!

"

n

"Time to take the spotlight for a bit, mommy! Salamander, Gnome! Lava Torrent!

"

n

"Focus Amelia! Piercing Light Ray! Blazing Light Flash!

"

nLastly, Veronica, Ismene, and Amelia appeared from behind, casting powerful magic, rays of light, shadow spheres, and lava torrents fell over the head of the Minotaur, killing it on its last struggle for survival… it was completely overwhelmed from all sides.

n

"GRRAAAAA…

"

nThe mind of the frightened and terrified Minotaur blacked out, as she died and his soul left his body… the same fear he felt for these beings remained, but when he glanced at Ervas and Veronica again, there was also some strange fascination within them that it couldn't explain…

n

"Growl?

"

nHowever, it could not do much before being sucked by the Dungeon's Reincarnation Cycle.
