CHAPTER 9: KILLING THE MINOTAUR PRIEST

09 killing the minotaur priest

The inventory window was opened to deposit the sword that Alex had used all this time, with a crackling sound of lightning the prototype Excalibur was removed, the sword that was previously white had now changed to a dark purple matching and adapting to the aura of its new wielder.

Alex felt his body being enveloped in a layer of purple lightning and his aura rose, his eyes shining, he saw that everything around him seemed to be slowing down a little, his thoughts flowing at an abnormal speed.

The black hair now shone pure purple fluttering against the direction of the wind, its layer of gravitational defense was so dense that the lightning around it suffered slight distortions.

Seeing the growing power of the man in front of him, the minotaur priest trembled in fear, stepping back slightly, the axes in his hands combining to form a staff.

At the priest’s command, a huge magic circle took over the place, summoning a hundred minotaur warriors. It was visibly noticeable that the ones now were several times stronger than the ones destroyed by Alex.

Each stone warrior was painted crimson symbolizing their furious state, fearless they charged forward in a pack with their nostrils flaring smoke as they roared violently.

Only then did the priest show his bizarre smile again, aware that his opponent would fall today.

From Alex’s perspective, these warriors were slow and quite noisy, jumping several times to exercise, stretching their limbs before finally making a move.

The feeling of being so fast created a kind of intoxication in the brain, it was quite addictive.

Gravitational power and electricity merged into one, generating a lightning charge several times its weight as the body grew lighter and lighter, thus making its movements a purple blur.

From the perspective of the minotaur priest he saw his beloved warriors being destroyed causing deep craters wherever the purple figure passed,

The minotaurs fell in numbers so fast that the priest could not see, let alone count his losses.

The time it took for the priest to blink his red eyes was the same time it took Alex to annihilate several warriors, his swordsmanship was so polished with the increase in his attributes that he felt as if he had been born knowing how to wield a sword since birth.

MP=50/200

Alex couldn’t believe that his form was consuming so much MP, feeling his speed gradually decrease, he had to hurry his movements and when his HP dropped to 10, all the stone minotaur warriors were on the ground completely defeated.

Before the minotaur priest could even think to flee, a hand crackling with lightning grabbed him by the neck.

"Wait, I can."

The minotaur priest tried to appeal to Alex somehow when his cow head was destroyed, the pieces staining the ground with dust.

congratulations you completed the dungeon

reward you acquired 2 stars

You have acquired 10 miter ingots

You have acquired the Ancient Priest Class Change Staff

Your MP is zero, you have fallen into a weakened state for two hours

System warning: lucid being cannot integrate dream-generated stars.

The growing excitement that bubbled in Alex’s heart over getting two stars gradually faded, turning into disappointment .

He fought so hard that in the end he couldn’t use his dream stars. When he reached out his hands to capture the stars that floated before him, something abnormal happened as if they were disgusted or repulsed. They flew into the bodies of the two fainted girls.

Seeing this, Alex felt a huge bitterness in his heart, looking at the pair of friends, he really didn’t know what to do, they definitely contributed to his death even if they did it out of self-preservation it didn’t change the fact.

Seeing the two unconscious, something strange sprouted in his heart, the feeling of controlling the destiny of two people that gave him an unknown feeling, from what he remembered he wasn’t a pervert, or was he?

Leaving aside his random thoughts, Alex called up his system interface window, first accessing his inventory to store his Excalibur sword, which returned his attributes to normal, and then decided to allocate his points.

NAME ALEX, LUCID, AWAKENED BEING

AUTHORITY GRAVITY

ACTIVE SKILLS = Gravitational Manipulation , Intermediate Swordsmanship

LEVEL=23

Star level = 1

defense =22

manipulation =22

step =1

fencing =24

STRENGTH=40

AGILITY=60

HP=200/200

MP=200/10

Since his agility was already quite high, Alex decided to invest his points in strength so that his blows would be powerful enough to finish his battles in a short period of time.

Now that your level has risen above twenty, your HP and MP do not automatically rise as they did at previous levels, meaning that points to be gained in the future have to be carefully considered before being allocated.

Two hours later the two girls finally woke up and when their eyes opened the first face they both saw was Alex who was staring at them with an expressionless look.

Monica grabbed her sword, embedded with crackling, living flames, and without hesitation launched an attack while urging her friend to run.

"Mimi, run, I’ll gain some time"

Mimi didn’t run as her friend suggested, she quickly realized the situation, if the man in front of them wanted them both dead, they most likely already would be, she also realized that they were no longer in the double dungeon.

Even though it was hard to believe, and since there was no one else in front of them, the only conclusion they could come to was that the man in front of them not only cleared the dungeon but also saved them.

However, what left Mimi most open-mouthed was the aura of flames that covered her friend’s body, something that only people with the authority of a star’s flames could materialize.

Confused, she didn’t realize that her body also carried a similar aura, however, for her it was a white light that surrounded her.

"I’ll give you 10 minutes to prepare, better distribute your attribute points well, after this time I’ll attack however"

Seeing the confusion on both of their faces, Alex said coldly.

"Don’t think I’m going to let you leave this place alive."

Only these words echoed in the air when Alex’s figure disappeared from the place.

"You finally came"

Mónica was the first to speak when she saw Alex reappear after 2 hours.

"We thought you had run away with your tail between your legs."

Now that both she and her friend were hunters of a star, arrogance took over making them think that they would be able to defeat the man before them.

"Attack now, I don’t have time to waste on bitches who only know how to bark and sacrifice others to survive."

With these words spoken, the girls’ faces turned red.

To show that he was serious, Alex took out his sword Excalibur from his inventory and with that his aura reached new heights, making the girls tremble at the base with such a display of power.

Suddenly Alex’s body appeared before them when the lightning step was used, using his feet he gave a flying kick to both farms spurting blood, and before they could even react, they were caught by a gravitational pressure that made their bodies violently slam into the ground.

In the next second Mimi was on her feet while Monica was lifted up, held by the neck, struggling completely helpless.

Throwing Monica to the ground beneath his feet and realizing that neither of them showed any reaction or resistance, Alex retracted his aura and put Excalibur back in his inventory.

He knew he didn’t need Excalibur to defeat the two girls before him, what he intended was to demonstrate an overwhelming power that neither of them could oppose.

Seeing their eyes watering and frightened, Alex smiled, showing disdain for the girls.

"If I wanted you both dead, I would have finished you off a long time ago."

The two listened attentively to Alex’s words, neither of them dared to interrupt.
