BXBX NOVEL Chapter 174 174 Magical Beast
"It\'s coming towards us," James said and stopped the horse abruptly, almost making the carriage turn over.
In front of them stood a beast unlike any they have ever faced, the students haven\'t seen anything like it before but Ray knew exactly what it was.
It was around ten feet tall with sharp white teeth and two big white horns. With the bottom of its legs as hooves but its body shaped like a human, it was a magical beast known as Minotaur.
"A high-level beast," James said and grabbed his sword quickly.
"What about Sir Authur and Sir Alfred?" Leia shouted.
"This isn\'t the only one, there are two more of these behind," James said in a low voice.
\'Two more, this is obviously a high-level beast, but the one in front of us Isn\'t infected, then that means the ones the senior knights are fighting are infected\'
The students came down from the carriage and each of them held a sword except Ray, he was barehanded and ready to defeat the beast.
The Minotaur stood still and didn\'t move, it was watching the movement of the group, they were slowly moving away from the carriage so that the battle wouldn\'t affect the carriage.
*Ding*
[Quest triggered]
[Defeat: Infected Minotaur]
[Reward: New spell(Dark cloak)]
\'A quest, it\'s been a long time since I saw one of these, but how can I leave the battle here and go after the infected Minotaur\' Ray wondered.
"What is wrong..." James said wondering why the Minotaur hasn\'t attacked them.
The Minotaur should have attacked them but it didn\'t, it was staring at the five of them watching their movement.
"We are going to attack first, Ray can you hold it in place?" James asked.
"Yes Sir, it would be much easier as it\'s nighttime, the Minotaur won\'t be able to see my binds," Ray said.
"On my mark," James said in a low voice.
"Now!!" James shouted.
The four of them attacked the Minotaur at once and Ray cast his [Dark Binds] and held the Minotaur in place. The Minotaur wasn\'t bothered by this but as soon as James came close to it.
*Boom*
The Minotaur swung his fist as soon as James was within range, James wasn\'t expecting this because he thought Ray\'s [Dark Binds] was holding the beast in place.
Although James managed to block the attack with his sword, he was sent flying. The others quickly stopped as they saw this but then the Minotaur swung into action.
The Minotaur suddenly looked toward the carriage and without giving it much thought it began to charge toward the carriage.
"It\'s charging towards the carriage" James shouted in a loud voice as he landed on the ground.
None of them could stop the Minotaur and in a matter of seconds it was in front of the horse, the horse made neighing sounds and attempted to run away but the Minotaur raised his fist and slammed it down.
The Minotaur\'s fist stopped just before it could reach the horse allowing it to escape, the Minotaur looked over to Ray as he struggled to hold it in place.
Ray used his [Dark Binds] to hold the Minotaur before it could attack the horse. Ray struggled to hold the beast in place, but before the Minotaur could break Ray\'s spell James rushed over and slashed both of the Minotaur\'s legs making it crash to the ground.
"Cynthia go after the carriage" James shouted.
"Sir, what about the beast" Cynthia shouted back.
"I said go after the carriage, that\'s an order" James shouted back.
Cynthia quickly turn around and ran after the horse, the horse was so scared that it wasn\'t in its right senses, it was just running towards anywhere, Cynthia infused Ki in her legs and ran after the horse.
The Minotaur\'s legs were slashed making it easier for Ray to hold it in place, Leia and Gabriel couldn\'t do anything, they were close by but James told them to stay away.
Ray infused more Mana in his spell and increased the number of [Dark Binds] on the Minotaur making it almost impossible to move, the Minotaur was faced down on the ground.
James used the opportunity to infuse enough Ki in his sword that it was emitting heat and he swung his sword towards the head of the Minotaur.
*Slash*
The Minotaur managed to break one of its hands free from Ray\'s bind and used that hand to catch James\'s sword before it could reach its head.
"Haaa..." Names shouted as he increased the power and Ki in his sword and slashed through the Minotaur\'s hand but his sword couldn\'t penetrate the Minotaur\'s neck.
Lightning began to crackle on the body of the Minotaur, James looked at the Minotaur\'s horns and lightning was gathering around the horns.
"Everyone get away..." James shouted and turn around to run but it was too late.
The Minotaur raised both of his hands up and slammed them to the ground along with its horns making a field of lightning, the four of them were not far enough and the lightning caught all of them.
The four of them were shocked by the lightning and they fell to the ground unconscious except Ray and James.
Even though both of them were still awake they couldn\'t move a single muscle in their body, they just laid flat on the ground.
The Minotaur stood up from the ground despite its injuries, the Minotaur walked towards Ray and raised its hoof to smash Ray.
