บท 142: [142] Black Minotaur!
Strolling through the layers of the dungeon, August walked as if taking a leisurely stroll, extremely casual.
At this moment, Tsubaki, who was originally in the Hephaestus Familia team came back.
"Quite comfortable, huh, judging by your appearance."
"My role in the expedition is a humanoid warehouse. I don't need to worry about anything other than the warehouse."
"You're really shamelessly flaunting it."
"No way, that's just how outstanding I am."
Saying this, August tossed her hair, giving Tsubaki a sassy look.
However, the two of them had a relationship of sleeping together, so August had long developed immunity to Tsubaki's antics.
Seeing this, Gareth on the side was speechless. Just yesterday, chaos almost erupted because of Haruhime's arrival, and today she was having a heated exchange with Tsubaki. It was truly impressive.
This also made Gareth feel like he might be getting old.
Especially since Tsubaki was a half-dwarf, her body shape didn't resemble that of a dwarf at all.
In this way, there were no disturbances on the way. After all, they were only in the upper-middle layers, and the weakest members of the team were at level 3. In such layers, nothing significant could happen.
"There's a smell of blood, and it's very close."
At this moment, Aki in the team suddenly spoke up. As a cat girl, her sense of smell was very keen.
"This is a dungeon, having a smell of blood is quite normal."
Raul didn't care, after all, people and monsters were dying every day in the dungeon, and not just humans, monsters also bled.
The others around were also indifferent, not paying much attention to this matter.
Howl~
Just at this moment, at the end of the road, a red minotaur, wielding a huge sword, slowly approached.
Beside it, a torn-in-half corpse was discarded.
And on this road, two figures were thinking about sprinting over.
"Hey, isn't that your lil bro?"
Tsubaki said slowly as she saw the approaching figures.
"Ah~"
August also nodded. The two people were Bell and Lili.
And the monster behind them was the minotaur, and it was also the sword-wielding Minotaur.
"Bunny."
"Big bro?"
Seeing August in an instant, Bell suddenly had a backbone and quickly ran over.
Lili also showed a hopeful look. In her heart, August had long been deified.
Bang~
At the first moment Bell came over, August directly gave her a beating.
This sudden beating made Bell's face full of joy and surprise, all turned into embarrassment, because every time August saw her, he would hit her head.
"What are you doing, hitting girl's heads, are you still a man?"
Tsubaki quickly pulled Bell over. She had a good impression of this girl who looked like a little bunny.
"What did you do again? Where did you provoke minotaur, and it looks like an enhanced species."
"I don't know, I just came here, and it appeared."
Bell was also very aggrieved. What did it have to do with her encountering a monster?
Looking at Bell's aggrieved expression, August felt a bit speechless. Was this the inertia of the plot?
Even without the previous plot, would Bell still encounter this minotaur and become a Ox Slayer?
*Tap* *Tap* *Tap*
At this moment, the minotaur, wielding a huge sword, had already walked over. It was covered in various wounds, and its entire body was pitch black. At first glance, it was an enhanced species of the minotaur.
*ROOOOOAR*
When it approached, minotaur roared in anger as soon as it saw August. Then, quickly lifting the huge sword, it charged towards August.
This left August utterly confused. Did he do something to provoke this monster, why this charging at him like this?
"A black minotaur that can wield a sword? Haven't seen that before."
"Whatever, let's take it down."
The two immediately rushed forward, ready to deal with this minotaur.
Boom~
Slap~
However, the next moment, these two level 3 guys were directly sent flying.
Everyone watching was wide-eyed. Was this minotaur? Just a level 2 monster, and it actually instakilled two level 3 adventurers?
August squinted his eyes. In the original work, this minotaur trained by Ottar was only level 2.
But this minotaur in front of him was at least level 3, possibly even level 4.
Was this creature really a minotaur? An enhanced species?
"Kill you!"
A voice echoed in August's ears.
This made August shiver. Subconsciously looking around, he found that the others had no reaction, as if they hadn't heard the voice.
However, August could be certain that he did hear the voice just now, and it was very likely coming from the black minotaur in front of him.
"Interesting."
Out of curiosity, August walked up.
Gareth knew August's strength, so he wasn't worried. It was just a minotaur, even if it was an enhanced species, it shouldn't be a big deal.
Bang~
Looking at August, the minotaur directly raised its huge sword and slashed towards August.
Immediately, shadows condensed, turning into a blade that blocked the attack.
"Very powerful strength, almost level 4. Surprising. Even if it's an enhanced minotaur, it should be level 3. How did a level 4 minotaur suddenly appear?"
*ROOOOOAR*
"Kill you!"
Again, this voice. August could confirm that this voice was definitely coming from this minotaur in front of him.
This voice was something only he could understand, or did it really speak? Only he could hear it.
Boom~
The shadow blade turned into shadow claws, directly slapping the minotaur to the ground.
The huge shadow claws almost squeezed the minotaur, nearly three to four meters tall, completely in its grasp, even its giant sword was left hanging on the ground.
This scene deeply shocked everyone behind, especially Aki and Raul.
Originally, they thought the reason August received attention and privileges was because of his spatial abilities.
Now it seemed that August's strength was incredibly powerful. He effortlessly controlled such a powerful enhanced Minotaur.
"Kill you!"
Again, this voice. August narrowed his eyes slightly.
The long-buried memories gradually surfaced. In this dungeon, there were some special beings, known as the Xenos, born with intelligence among monsters.
These Xenos were born in the dungeon and possessed the intellect of 'monsters.'
These creatures had a peculiar characteristic, they were monsters but had the same intelligence as humans. They were unique exceptions.
All Xenos, however, were tragic individuals.
Because not only would they be hunted by human adventurers, but they would also be hunted by monsters. They were extremely pitiful beings.
