I Reincarnated As A Minotaur In A Dungeon

Astherios had no words to express how excited he was at that fight, the fact that the man in front of him had managed to escape his attack had not left the minotaur upset, in fact this only served to make the monster even more excited about the fight that was to come, he already felt his blood boil and his instincts begging for a worthy battle, a battle that would take him one step closer to becoming a more powerful being. And just to imagine such a future, the minotaur could not stop himself from smiling.

"Argh ... Help ... Please .... Save me ..." But soon a weak, dying voice took Astherios out of his brief reverie. In his excitement the Minotaur had forgotten that there was a man who had been used as bait by the adventurer in front of him and who to his disgrace had received a blow from the minotaur, leaving him to the brink of death, but still with a breath of life.

"I'll need my ax back. Bye. "As the minotaur spoke, he saw the man's expression being tainted with pure despair, pain and regret. But none of this had anything to do with the minotaur. After all, the adventurer came in to take lives and gain something from it. And he must have known that one day he could lose his life for the same reasons.

Retreating the ax from the man's body, Astherios soon finished with the adventurer's suffering by crushing his head beneath the boots of his armor, causing blood to spill across the floor and down his leg before smiling again at the adventurer of his front.

"We can start? "

~ Change of POV ~

The reason that Gabriel did not attack the minotaur immediately after retreating from his attack was not only because he did not care about the life of the adventurer in front of him (And he did not care) but because the happiness and animation that the minotaur showed when realizing that its opponent was strong, was not common.

The minotaurs were a race that loved battles, that was true, but they did not care if the opponent was strong, weak, man or woman, they simply could not do anything but fight, fight and fight. This at least when it came to the common minotaurs, but for those who successfully evolved into warlike, magical or even religious versions of their race .... These began to show unique characteristics and peculiarities.

"This is going to be harder than I imagined." Murmuring these words, Gabriel did not hesitate to move again against the minotaur, even without skills his speed was at least two or three times as strong as anyone on the same level and despite being recognized by his forces, minotaurs were a race that could not boast of his agility.

As soon as he got within ten feet of the minotaur, the redhead struck his sword three times with a blink of an eye, staring into the throat, heart, and groin of the monster so quickly that the three strokes looked like one.

But to the amazement of the adventurer, before the tip of his sword could reach the armor or throat of the minotaur, the monster quickly used the ax he held in his right hand to make a horizontal cut, striking the adventurer's sword and deflecting it to the side. At the same time, the minotaur erected the ax in his left hand and lowered it with force.

"Damn it! "Seeing that his attack failed Gabriel had no choice but to use the Blast magic the moment the minotaur's ax collided with his sword. Making a fireball explode between the sword and the ax, pushing the adventurer's body to the side and helping him escape the minotaur counterattack.

Gabriel was not known as Swift Sword only because his speed and agility were some levels above that of other adventurers, but also why he specialized in using fire spells (especially explosive type) to increase his speed and allow him did some incredible maneuvers while in the air. And it was thanks to one of these maneuvers that the adventurer had managed to deflect of a blow that would have killed him if he had not been careful.

"You're kind of fast for a minotaur, are not you? This is unfair. "Although he rarely talks to monsters, Gabriel can not help complaining to the minotaur while watching him, he had already noticed that the minotaur's strength was already superior to other members of his race, but now even The monster's speed was bigger than he'd imagined.This was becoming more and more complicated.
