Chapter 284 Counterattack Against the Minotaur
bite-!
A sharp metallic clang suddenly erupted.
Bang-!
Immediately following was a loud, violent thud.
Xia Sheng raised his knife to block, but he couldn't stop it at all, and he was slashed to the ground.
"cough--!"
Red liquid was sprayed out.
The minotaur's axe could not cut through his katana, but its immense power pierced through his body, causing shockwaves through his internal organs.
He couldn't help but cough up blood.
"Natsuo—!" Shiina Mahiru cried out, heartbroken.
"Hoichi"
The minotaur ignored her shouts, raised his giant axe, and prepared to chop down again.
Xia Sheng lay on the ground, only able to watch helplessly as he was exhausted and powerless to resist any longer.
His initial thought was somewhat ridiculous; he actually believed that danger could also be an opportunity.
We couldn't even get through that danger.
Minotaur, how terrifying!
A helpless thought arose in my mind: Am I going to die here?
He wouldn't let him die like this, would he?
Xia Sheng didn't want to place his hopes on Him and tried to move, but his whole body felt like it was falling apart and he couldn't move.
But he was unwilling to give up.
He can't die!
He died, and Shiina Mahiru and Yukino Yukinoshita couldn't survive either.
Even Yui Yuigahama and her group couldn't maintain their popularity.
He must defeat the minotaur!
However, my body wouldn't obey me; I couldn't move my hands. They felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead.
The minotaur's axe had already fallen.
"Don't even think about it!"
Just then, accompanied by a loud shout, a gray-white figure appeared in his field of vision.
His eyes widened.
"Mahiru—!"
bite-!
Click—!
A crisp metallic clang rang out, followed by the sound of metal breaking.
Shiina Mahiru stood in front of Natsumi, raising her sword to parry, but the iron sword was not imbued with magic and could not withstand the axe's blows at all.
The iron sword was easily cleaved in two.
The giant axe fell with undiminished force, striking Shiina Mahiru's chest heavily.
However, the scene of red liquid splashing did not occur; instead, her dress shone with a shimmering white light.
The magic-proof dress blocked the giant axe's attack.
However, it didn't completely block it.
Click—!
Like the sound of shattering glass, Shiina Mahiru's dress exploded, turning into energy and disappearing.
She was only wearing her underwear.
However, thanks to the energy explosion of the anti-magic dress, the minotaur's counterattack was deflected.
"Go to hell!"
Shiina Mahiru shouted sharply, taking the opportunity to drain the little magic she had just recovered, condensing a small flame, and throwing it at the minotaur.
The flames landed on the minotaur's chest, and its body hair vanished instantly, leaving its skin charred black.
"roar--!"
The minotaur roared in pain and fury, its eyes fixed on Shiina Mahiru, and it swung its giant axe, determined to cut her in two.
"Ah—you're asking for it!"
Natsumi was furious, and if it weren't for the anti-magic dress, Shiina Mahiru would have been in serious trouble.
He mustered his last strength, stood up, and crashed into the minotaur's arms. Caught off guard, the minotaur was knocked to the ground by Xia Sheng.
The minotaur wasn't seriously injured, and it prepared to push away Xia Sheng, who was no longer a threat to it, intending to deal with the human woman first.
But before he could even make a move, a sharp, excruciating pain shot through his chest.
It's adding insult to injury.
Natsuo was gnawing on the spot where Shiina Mahiru had burned it; the skin was gone, and the powerful defense was gone too.
He could easily devour its flesh.
This is the only chance to acquire its power and become stronger than it!
This was an opportunity that Shiina Mahiru had worked so hard to create for him, and he couldn't afford to miss it.
Xia Sheng easily tore open the flesh on the minotaur's chest, swallowing it without chewing.
Within his body, the Devouring Technique immediately reacted, beginning to refine and absorb the minotaur's flesh and blood.
"roar--!"
The minotaur roared in pain and anger. It dropped its giant axe and punched Xia Sheng hard in the shoulder, sending him flying.
boom--!
Xia Sheng flew several meters before crashing heavily to the ground, where he remained motionless.
"Natsuo——!"
Shiina Mahiru immediately scrambled to her feet and ran toward him in a panic.
"roar!"
The minotaur stood up again, his face contorted in a ferocious expression, and walked step by step toward Xia Sheng.
It changed its mind again and decided to kill the human male first.
How dare they eat its flesh! They deserve to die!
"Natsuo, how are you? Are you alright? Don't scare me!" Shiina Mahiru came to Natsuo's side, immediately checked his condition, and asked in a tearful voice.
"Heh~"
Xia Sheng opened his eyes and smiled. He had recently been covered in blood, but it wasn't just his blood.
"Natsuo?" Shiina Mahiru's eyes were moist as she looked at him uncertainly.
"Hehe~"
Xia Sheng continued to smile; his face was rosy and healthy.
"What's wrong with you?" His unusual behavior worried Shiina Mahiru greatly.
"I'm fine."
Xia Sheng sat up easily, raised his hand, and rubbed her head to comfort her.
"You...?" Shiina Mahiru stared at him through teary eyes.
"I can't believe I made you cry, it's my fault, and that minotaur, he deserves to die!"
Natsumi wiped away the tears on Shiina Mahiru's face, stood up, and calmly stared at the approaching minotaur.
Anger burned in his eyes.
"Natsuo?" Shiina Mahiru looked at him uncertainly, somewhat confused about his situation.
"Wait for me, I'll take care of it soon."
Natsumi tilted his head, gave Shiina Mahiru a gentle smile, and then walked towards the Minotaur.
He didn't even take his katana.
The minotaur also didn't carry a giant axe. It walked faster and faster, quickly closing the distance with Xia Sheng, and swung its fist at him.
Xia Sheng, undaunted, raised his fist to meet the attack.
Bang-!
Their fists collided heavily, creating a shockwave that spread outwards from the center of their impact.
Behind Natsumi is Shiina Mahiru, her long gray-white hair fluttering in the breeze.
Ignoring everything else, she stared wide-eyed at Xia Sheng. He was already a match for a minotaur?
Was it because it devoured its flesh and blood? That was the thought that crossed her mind in an instant.
And she was right; Xia Sheng absorbed and refined the flesh and blood of the minotaur and gained its power.
He is now unafraid of the minotaurs, who are even stronger than him.
Because he hasn't given it his all yet.
"roar!"
The minotaur was surprised that Xia Sheng could suddenly compete with it in strength. It didn't know what was going on, but its goal remained unchanged.
It roared, pulled back its fist, and then swung it out again.
Xia Sheng also withdrew his fist and then swung it out. This time, he wouldn't hold back.
Bang-!
Their fists collided again, the sound of flesh hitting flesh reverberating through the air.
But this time, it wasn't a stalemate.
Click!
The sound of bones breaking rang out sharply and clearly.
"Moo—!" The minotaur took a step back and let out a mournful howl.
Its arms, at incredible angles, twisted outwards at the joints.
Xia Sheng didn't show any surprise. He stepped forward, raised his foot, and kicked it hard in the chest.
Bang-!
The minotaur was launched backward like a cannonball and crashed heavily into the wall.
Its body paused on the wall for a second before slowly sliding down and crashing to the ground.
It was still howling, unable to stand up, with the white bone of its arm joints broken and protruding.
Xia Sheng walked towards it and picked up the Demon-Slaying Axe from the ground.
He approached the minotaur, and without hesitation, raised his axe and swiftly brought it down.
Pfft—!
Its powerful physical defenses were no match for the blow; the bull's head separated from its body, and red blood gushed out.
"Phew—" Xia Sheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He finally defeated the minotaurs.
I was so desperate just now, there was no way to fight the minotaurs.
If Shiina Mahiru hadn't fought so hard, and if he hadn't devoured the minotaur's flesh and blood to gain its power, he wouldn't have been able to defeat it at all.
He couldn't even imagine what it would be like if a fifth level appeared, given that the intruders were already this strong on the fourth level.
They might really lose their lives here.
Running away and hiding is impossible, so the only option is to face it and find a way to gain greater power.
Xia Sheng glanced down at the axe with a large chip in it and tried to put it into his item box.
However, it failed.
