The aura that surrounded the boss began to change, emitting out a more sinister feeling than before. It lifted its big axe as it ran towards Ryth and Azalea."BOOM!"
Both Ryth and Azalea managed to react on time, as they retreated a few steps back.
Lady Elsa immediately launched another skill.
{Rain of Fire}!
A form of ball of fire appeared above its head, spreading around and turning into small spears. It then rained on the minotaur.
"WUSH, WUSH!"
"BOOM!"
Text boxes appeared above its head.
-2232
-1232
-1212
"What?! That equipment is an enchanted armor? It has fire resistance!"
Lady Elsa"s last attack had dealt over 15000 damage, and yet her attacks had been reduced to that extent.
"I will use another element spells!" Lady Elsa shouted as she began drawing a sign with her scepter in the air, "{Thunder Wrath}!"
A white triangle formed above the minotaur"s head and suddenly, a bright light, a lightning came out and struck it.
"BOOM!"
"RAAAARGH!"
Text box appeared above its head "Paralyzed"
"Now"s our chance! Attack! Hold nothing back!" Ryth shouted as he ran towards the minotaur, together with Azalea.
{Stab}!
{Cut}!
{Whirlwind}!
"SLASH, SLASH!"
The rest of the team immediately launched their attacks, all of the attacks a perfect hit as it landed on the minotaur.
"RAAARGH!" the minotaur screamed after the paralyze effect had disappeared. It quickly lifted its big axe to the one nearest to him, who was Azalea
Azalea skillfully spun off to dodged the attack, [Blue Soul] turned glowed with green light as she instantly disappeared.
{Lost b.u.t.terfly}!
She pierced through the minotaur, and when she got behind it, she skillfully changed the way she holds the sword.
She now holds it with her two hands like a dagger and stabbed the minotaur.
-3213
"RAAARGH! LOWLY ELVES!" the minotaur screamed as it tried to lift its big axe. However, just then, a voice shouted out, "Llyod, Woodgard!"
The two of them nodded. Llyod quickly activated his taunt skill, while Woodgard appeared behind the minotaur.
"Taunted" text appeared above its head.
{Dual Stab}!
The archers were also attacking its blind spot. Lady Elsa kept casting her spell, focusing on the minotaur.
Just as Ryth was about to move forward, his body glowed with white lights and a notification box appeared on his interface.
"STR +10"
"AGI +10"
"INT +10"
"It is really convenient to have such good allies." Ryth grinned as he ran towards the minotaur. He sheathed [Ryuujin"s Will], bit his left hand thumb and place the blood stains on his right hand.
{Borrowed Soul}!
Another [Vengeance] appeared on his right hand. Ryth jumped and activated his skill.
{Dual Slash}!
-26435
"GAAARGH!"
Although the minotaur has high STR points, but its AGI was lower than Ryth. So, it could not even managed to hit Ryth as he was faster. He could only howled in frustration.
Ryth managed to break the armor of the minotaur after attacking its vulnerable area. The minotaur tried to counter with {Heavy Swing}, however, Ryth quickly activated {Fast Steps} as he dodged the axe just by a hair. Ryth"s three swords began glowing with golden lights.
{Stream of Light}!
-2242
-2453
-1764
The battle continues on, and finally, the mini boss" HP hit 50% mark.
Llyod, Ryth, Azalea and Woodgard kept the minotaur busy, so it couldn"t even blocked the archers; attacks, not to mention Lady Elsa"s high damage spells.
When the mini boss" HP hit the 30 percent mark, it loudly howled, "RAAAARGH!"
"BOOM!"
The minotaur turned dark red and its status box changed.
-----------
Millman
(Evil Mini boss)
Fire White Minotaur
(Berserk Stage One)
Level 35
Berserker
HP : 700.000

"What the h.e.l.l? Didn"t that thing have any element before?" a berserk-healer asked in bewilderment.
"It"s probably a skill that has been enchanted on its armor or weapon. We should be careful." Lady Elsa answered, looking grim.
"Anyone who can use water type magic, attack it!" Ryth shouted.
Azalea ran towards it. She then lifted [Blue Soul] and activated a skill.
Lady Elsa also joined in the fray as she started casting her magic as well.
{Water Spear}!
There were two spear-like forming in the air, made from water; one was smaller than the other one. The bigger one was a spell cast by Lady Elsa.
-11524
-28093
"WOOSH!"
The minotaur was soaked.
Ryth immediately saw the chance, using his [Ryuujin"s Will] as he advanced forward.
The minotaur"s neck suddenly turned bright red. Seeing this, Daedalus quickly voiced out a warning to Ryth, "Watch out! Its going to leash out a breath attack!"
Ryth nodded as he activated {Fast Step}, placing him near Azalea.
The minotaur let a roar as fire burst out from its mouth.
"WOSSH!"
"Azalea, barrier!"
Azalea casted a barrier in front of them. One by one, barriers appeared in front of them, with a large one protecting them.
Ryth and Azalea then jumped, using the barrier as a step. The fire breath broke the barrier but it missed them.
Ryth and Azalea were on mid air when they activated their skills.
{Half Moon}!
{Hedgehog}!
Azalea chopped down, using her [Blue Soul], while Ryth spun in mid air and slashed, using his 3 swords.
-6435
-6783
The minotaur didn"t budged even a bit, even though it received huge damages. It countered by hacking its big axe towards Ryth and Azalea.
Azalea retreated a step, while Ryth activated {Deflect} and he spun off to the left.
Azalea advanced forward again to the opposite side of Ryth and the both of them activated {Cut} at the same time.
-2242
-2232
After that, they retreated a few steps behind. Lady Elsa immediately followed-up with a cast of her own.
{Water Pulse}!
Blue circle appeared above the minotaur"s head and shot a water stream attack.
"WOSH!"
Ryth shouted, "Llyod, Woodgard!"
When it was still caught up by the earlier attack, Llyod and Woodgard advance forward.
{Dual Stab}!
{Heavy Swing}!
"SLASH, SLASH!"
Ryth quickly told them to retreat.
Hill and the archers also continue their attacks on it without holding back as more rain of arrows surrounded the minotaur in no time.
-2312
-10232
-5232
-2314
The berserk-healers didn"t bother to heal anyone again as they too began attacking it with their skills as well.
-1123
-1232
With Llyod"s taunt skill and Lady Elsa"s stun skills, the mini boss couldn"t do a thing even though it was in berserk mode.
When the taunt and stun skills were on cooldown, Llyod tanked it with the berserk-healers supporting him with their healing spells. They changed their tactics from attacks to support whenever the minotaur was stunned.
40%... 30%... 20%...
It"s HP reached 15% in an instant and because it was weak against water type attacks, the damage to it was overwhelming. The minotaur probably regret meeting Ryth"s team as it never expected that it will soon meet its death soon.
Millman, the minotaur howled, "SCREW YOU ALL!" and suddenly, a magic scroll appeared on its right hand.
When Ryth saw this, Ryth"s expression turned grim as he hurriedly shouted, "Mages! Cast all of your buff skills to Woodgard!"
He turned to Woodgard and ordered, "Steal the scroll from it! Don"t let it use it!"
Woodgard was an a.s.sa.s.sin type. Ryth ordered him because he might be able to steal the scroll from the minotaur. Added to his high AGI, with the addition of the buff from the mages, his AGI might increase even more.
The berserk-healers, Azalea, and Lady Elsa hurriedly cast their skills on Woodgard to enhance his speed, AGI points.
Golden lights glowed on Woodgard"s body as he became very agile. He increasingly sped up and hack his dual daggers on the minotaur"s right hand, blood gushed out madly, the minotaur"s grip was weakened and Woodgard didn"t let the chance slip as he stole the scroll and retreated back.
"HOW DARE YOU! I"LL KILL YOU LOWLY DARK ELF!" It chased after Woodgard, but with its speed, it couldn"t reach him.
Not to mention, Ryth, Llyod and Azalea had already advanced forward when Woodgard managed to steal the magic scroll from it.
Each one of them use their skills. Llyod jumped, while Ryth and Azalea lifted their swords to the front.
{Full Swing}!
{Stab}!
{Cut}!
Llyod attacked it with his other skills, while Azalea and Ryth use {Whirlwind} at the same time. When their skill had ended, Azalea move backwards, casting a flat barrier behind Ryth.
Ryth understood Azalea"s intention as he retreated back, jumping onto the barrier and jumped even higher. In mid air, he activated his skill.
{Half Moon}!
-7232
"GAARRGH!"
Not long after it HP reached 10% mark, new changes began to show from the minotaur, its body shrank and its AGI points seemed to rose up quite high.
Ryth said. "Cast me with the buff skill immediately once it"s ready!"
Ryth kept calm and collected as he stood there, lifting [Vengeance] to the air as it gushed with dark green light.
{Beyond the Boundary}!
Ryth"s STR and AGI rose by 70% of his total status. His AGI exceed Woodgard"s as he suddenly disappeared and appeared behind the minotaur.
{Cut}!
Ryth went for the head. However, Ryth was too slow as the minotaur managed to block Ryth"s attacks.
The others couldn"t even see what was happening. All they could do was prepare for the worst as they readied their weapons and tried to focus. on the battle.
Only Hill could see the two of them with the help of his {Eagle Eye} skill. Ryth has a better understanding of the minotaur"s movement with the help of [Eye of Daedalus] and also {Eagle Eye} skill from his second job, archer.
"CLASH!" air gushed from the clash, Ryth and Millman continued to exchanged attacks for some time. They were in a stalemate for some moments, but then, Lady Elsa shouted, "{Ancestor Blessing}!"
Ryth"s body glowed with golden lights. Lady Elsa"s buff skill came earlier than the others due to her fast casting time. It boosted Ryth"s STR and AGI, enough to make him defeat the minotaur as his 3 swords began glowing with blue lights.
{Starry Night}!
"WUSH, WUSH!"
"GAARGH!"
The differences in weapon made the battle easier for Ryth because he has dexterity weapons, while the minotaur only has STR type weapon. Hence, its berserk mode didn"t go well against Ryth.
If the minotaur encounter other people, they couldn"t even reduced its HP to 50%. That"s just how terrifying the minotaur is. But Ryth and his teammates were on another level, with their teamwork, they could pushed the minotaur this far.
After {Starry Night} had ended, his swords gushed with lights.
{Stream of Light}!
"SLASH, SLASH!"
After {Stream of Light} had ended, he wasn"t facing the minotaur, so he ran towards the near pillar, kicked it and jumped backwards, he activated a skill.
{Hedgehog}!
"LOWLY HUMAN!" the minotaur howled.
"SLASH!"
Blood gushed out as the minotaur"s head fell from its shoulder.
Ryth stood there, silently as he looked down on the b.l.o.o.d.y detached head.
Azalea was the first to run towards him, she even got ahead before Hill and Llyod.
"Are you okay?!" Azalea asked in concern as she took out a handkerchief from her pocket and wiped the bloodstains on Ryth"s face.
Ryth was surprised at first and then coughed and said, "I"m fine."
The others could only looked at them silently from afar. They suddenly got the idea what"s going on so they just wait there for a little longer.
Azalea felt everyone"s gazes at the both of them. She immediately looked down as her face turned crimson red.
Llyod, Hill, Lady Elsa, and the others walked to Ryth and Azalea.
Llyod asked, "Are you okay, my lord?"
"Yeah, I"m just tired..." he paused to catch a breath and continued, "Let"s rest, after that we can collect the loot."
