Summoned Minotaur (3)
“Rampage more.” At Bak Su-beom’s command, the Minotaur reshaped the surrounding terrain with its massive body.
Kuuuung!
Kuuung!
The beast swung a huge axe in one hand, smashing every building and car in its path without mercy.
“This should finally draw a reaction.” Bak Su-beom scanned the surroundings, eyes sharp.
With this much noise, people would soon appear.
If I grabbed a few of them and threatened them, I’d eventually learn where Ji-ah was.
That was why I had the Minotaur cause even greater chaos and then waited to see the reactions.
After some time passed,
“No one’s coming out?”
Probably the people who had been terrified by the Minotaur’s presence had no intention of leaving the shelter.
“Then I have no choice but to charge in.”
Bak Su-beom knew the location of the nearby shelters.
He tried to turn the Minotaur’s direction toward one of them.
But at that moment,
A swarm of slimes suddenly flew in from somewhere.
“What’s that?”
Those had to be the ones who had taken Ji-ah.
Kwaaang!
The slime heading straight for the Minotaur’s head exploded in mid-air before it could reach it, thanks to the axe.
“Where did it come from?”
Bak Su-beom stared in the direction the slime bomb had come from.
And then his expression turned to one of shock.
Shung! Shung! Shung!
Dozen after dozen of slime bombs kept flying.
They were also aiming precisely at the Minotaur’s head.
Kwaaaang!
Kwaang!
Kwaaaang!
Strong explosions filled the air.
But it was only the sound.
Before the slimes could even approach, the electricity spurting from the Minotaur’s horns detonated them all.
'Do these guys know the Minotaur’s weakness?' Even if most of the body was hit straight by the bombs, honestly, it wouldn’t cause much damage.
But there was one exact spot.
Right at the head.
Specifically between the eyebrows.
That was the Minotaur’s only weakness.
Whether those guys knew it and were targeting it, or simply thought the head was the weak point and threw the bombs anyway, I didn’t know.
Well, even if I did know, it didn’t matter much.
The weakness was there to be supplemented.
The electricity coming from those horns blocked every attack approaching the head.
Actually, the Minotaur was a completely flawless monster with no weakness at all.
“Well, where are you hiding?”
Kwawowowow!
The Minotaur advanced with a roar.
As it stepped strongly toward the direction that had attacked it, the guys preparing more slime bombs appeared again.
Toward those guys, the axe was raised.
Still quite a distance away.
Out of range of the axe.
But the Minotaur didn’t care and swung the axe as hard as it could.
At the same time, a powerful wind pressure exploded outward!
Shiiiiiik!
The sound of the wind cutting through the air was so loud it seemed to tear the ears, and it flew toward the guys as if the wind itself had become blades, splitting their heads in two.
One.
Two.
Five.
With a single swing of the axe, five guys were wiped out.
Shiiiiiik!
Again, the axe swung.
It sent the remaining five guys to the other world.
“As expected, it’s easy.”
This was the true power of the Minotaur.
Those guys were barely toys.
“Well! I’m sure those guys are hiding in there. Deal with them!” Following Bak Su-beom’s order, the Minotaur strode forward.
Now, only the task of finding those guys and retrieving Ji-ah remained.
***
'Tch. Did all the guys die?'
Indeed, that Minotaur was strong.
To kill those guys with excellent regeneration ability so easily.
'Still, the weakness is definitely the weakness.' That spot between the eyebrows of the Minotaur.
That place was definitely the weakness.
How did I know that?
Thanks to the skill I received after completing the quest.
Monster Weakness Identification [Lv-1]
※ Marks one weakness of a monster used as an ingredient.
When using this skill toward a monster, a window for the weakness appears.
That was why, from the moment I saw the Minotaur, I used the skill.
-Starting to identify the Minotaur’s weakness.
-Weakness identified.
-The weakness is between the eyebrows of the Minotaur.
Thanks to that, I was shooting slime bombs toward the Minotaur’s face.
But does it really know that spot is its weakness?
The Minotaur, which didn’t leave the bombs to explode there.
“This seems to require a different method?” It was too difficult than I thought.
The bomb itself was pre-blocked by the electricity coming from those horns, and the guy’s attack power was no joke.
Not only the guys, but even Lizardmen or the alligators I had just obtained would simply die from the wind pressure it swung.
'Then, as expected, this is the only way.'
[Summon Medusa.]
Medusa’s petrification ability.
With that ability, I could easily immobilize the guy lightly and then stab the guy’s eyebrows.
“Oh? You called me again? Aren’t you too interested in me, darling?” “No, that’s not it. I want you to deal with that guy a bit.” “Uhm~ That guy over there?”
Medusa turned around and glanced at the Minotaur.
“If I just block the movement, I’ll handle it.” “It won’t be easy, though?”
“Huh? Why?”
“Because it’s a high-level guy.”
High level.
What did that have to do with anything?
When I was puzzled, Medusa probably thought it would be faster to just show with her eyes and advanced toward the Minotaur.
Kwawowow!
The Minotaur discovered Medusa and precisely looked at her head.
At the same time, I prepared to pounce on the Minotaur.
To climb on top of the head of the Minotaur that turned to stone.
But the Minotaur showed no change even after seeing Medusa’s head.
“What? Why no reaction?”
“Because that guy’s level is similar to mine.” “Then the petrification ability is useless?” “Then. No use at all.”
Medusa spoke boldly.
Hey, if I can’t block movement, shouldn’t I say it in advance?
Now I was targeted by the Minotaur for nothing.
“Damn. Then what do I do.”
First, I tried to cancel the Medusa summon and summon other monsters to block the Minotaur’s movement.
But at that moment,
Medusa, who boldly stepped forward.
“I’ll block the movement.”
“What? How? You said petrification ability is useless?” “Oh? Did you think I only have petrification ability?” Medusa, along with those words, made several snakes come out from her head.
Upon thinking about it, when I first faced Medusa, it seemed I used those snakes too.
Sururuk!
The snakes that came out from Medusa’s head slowly began to enlarge their bodies.
“Whoa. Amazing.”
The enlarged snakes quickly approached the Minotaur as is.
The Minotaur started swinging the axe toward those snakes.
Again, strong wind pressure flew toward the snakes, but these guys were on a different level from the others.
They had slight wounds on their scales, but the snakes didn’t receive any other shock.
At the same time, the snakes that approached the Minotaur as is wrapped around the guy’s body instantly.
“Well, done?”
Medusa, looking at the suppressed Minotaur, sent a leisurely smile toward me.
“Yeah. Just hold it for a moment like that.” “Of course~”
Medusa, whether she gestured to the snakes, tightened the snakes around the Minotaur’s body even more strongly.
The Minotaur tried desperately to remove those snakes, but it was useless.
“Then shall we go kill it.”
Medusa boldly drew a knife and rushed toward the Minotaur’s eyebrows.
Thud!
At the moment of jumping up by pushing the ground strongly and trying to stab the knife,
Electricity spurted from the Minotaur’s horn and tried to block my approach.
Parajijijik!
The tingling current coming to my body as is.
But the pain I felt was only a slight tingle.
Slimes explode upon touching that current, but how about me?
Thanks to this.
◈ Brain Attribute Resistance +100%
◈ Defense +50% (30 minutes)
[Item Information]
『Grilled Alligator』
- Grade: ★★★
- Usable Job: No restrictions
- Classification: Food
- Effect: Brain attribute resistance +100% / Defense +50% (30 minutes)
- Description: Grilled alligator with a delicious chewing texture. It boasts a perfect combination with soju.
When I ate the alligator, there wasn’t much special ability.
But this one that came from cooking that monster.
Brain attribute resistance +100%.
The reason I didn’t have any problem even when the truth’s chain lightning attack hit the alligator.
Probably the guys living in the water have quite strong resistance to brain attribute.
That’s why such food was born.
Anyway, thanks to that, the electricity attack coming from the Minotaur’s horn didn’t damage me at all.
Thanks to that, I easily stabbed the knife toward the Minotaur’s eyebrows.
Puuk!
The knife digging in naturally as if stabbing soft meat.
Indeed, this spot was the weakness, and it was clearly a very soft area different from the hard skin.
Kwawowow!
At the same time, the Minotaur let out a final roar while glowing.
Strong electricity spurted out from the horns, and the muscles all over the body twitched as it tried to release the snakes binding it, but that was it.
-Minotaur ★ Defeated
[Minotaur ★ Defeated. Reward: 1000 coins granted.]
[Level increased by 2.]
[Obtained Point 2.]
The Minotaur that was easily killed.
Indeed, thanks to identifying the weakness, it was easy to deal with this guy.
And when the Minotaur died, a guy who was panicking and trying to run away appeared.
That guy who seemed to be controlling it.
Since there were many things to ask that guy, I couldn’t let him go, right?
“Su-beom. Please handle that guy.”
“Ne ne~”
At my words, Medusa approached the guy who was trying to escape as if annoyed and turned the guy into stone in an instant.
“For now, let’s handle it later…” It was important to figure out the purpose of summoning this Minotaur and why they were doing such things, but I had other important things for me, right?
'Scenario Quest.'
This scenario quest to devour the Minotaur.
What would happen if I devoured it?
Grabbing the fork toward the dead Minotaur’s corpse.
I didn’t know what would happen ahead, but for now, I started poking it right away.
And Medusa, who was watching that scene from behind.
“U. It’s cruel.”
Thinking that I might be eaten like that, Medusa had goosebumps all over her body somehow.
