Chapter 226 One-Sided BeatDown

"this isn't right".

The Minotaur leader turned a deaf ear to Orun's duel proposal, and immediately attacked him with his fist aimed at Orun from the side.

Orun on the other hand, leisurely reached out his palm and stopped the fist before it could touch him.

"you have to make a decision first before the start of the duel".

Orun was not willing to fight a fruitless battle against the Minotaur leader unless he stakes his and the rest of the Minotaurs freedom on the line.

"i will not sacrifice the lives of my men for your amusement".

The Minotaur leader, withdrew his left hand, and took several steps away from Orun before giving him a reply.

"an exemplary leader you are. But you see, I am not exactly doing this for my own amusement".

With a blink of the Minotaur leader's eye, he had lost traces of Orun's figure, absent in their eyes of not only the leader, but also the rest of the Minotaurs that were present.

*BOOM*

Was the next sound that reverberated in their ears, except for that of the Minotaur leader who was sent flying several miles away, crashing into a couple of trees before making an abrupt stop.

The body of the Minotaur leader came to a stop only after smashing through several trees, and forming a path from where it got punched to where it ended up stopping.

"Berserker Job Skill, Madness Of The Warrior!".

The Minotaur leader after activating his job skill, was quick to recover from the experience of having his body bashing and smashing into trees.

He picked himself up from the ground, and got ready to make his attack on Orun who had already closed the several distance, and was now within ten feet away from him.

"i admire a leader who thinks of his subordinates first. Such a leader is the kind I hope to have in my empire".

He said, slowly making his way toward the Minotaur leader who was on edge, and on alert for any sudden attack.

"what I will not tolerate however, is a leader who is too ignorant to look at things with a bigger frame".

Orun's slow step, abruptly got faster, and was able to reach the Minotaur leader with only two steps forward, a distance that would have taken him ten steps if he were going at a normal pace.

The Minotaur leader was also quick to react to Orun coming toward him, by reaching out his fist to stop Orun.

Orun effortlessly deflected his fist by slapping it to the side, then he went after the Minotaur leader, head on.

He got to the Minotaur leader, with only a distance of one feet apart from each other.

Orun clenched his fist, and punched through his stomach, sending him flying further away, and colliding with more trees than the first time he was sent flying.

"this is the problem with us monster kind".

Orun went after the Minotaur leader who had lost control of his body, and was still consecutively smashing through trees.

"our pride has limited our thought process, leading to our downfall at the hands of race weaker than we are".

He said, as he smashed the body of the Minotaur leader in, sending him even further and faster than before.

In the process of it all, the adversary of Orun lashing out at the Minotaur leader, was the forest that was slowly getting destroyed, losing its shape with the straight line that was being drawn using the Minotaur leader's body.

"but there is still hope for us monsters".

Orun once again, caught up with the Minotaur leader, and placed his palm on his face, then aggressively smashed it into the ground, putting an end to his uncontrollable flying, and the trees being destroyed any further, for now.

"with the powers I possess, I have decided to not use it as a form of individual representation, but to extend it to my racial characteristics as a whole".

The Minotaur leader slowly stood up from the ground, struggling to get himself together.

His body was in better condition than one would have imagined for someone who went through such hurdle, tanking several punches from Orun, and the trees that his body had smashed into.

The saving grace for the Minotaur leader's body still In good condition, is due to the effect of two things.

The first one, is the job skill that the Minotaur leader possess.

Madness of the warrior, is a skill that strengthens one's physical ability, in return for the high consumption of mana, followed by an excruciating life threatening pain after the usage of the skill is over.

The other reason, is because Orun was not taking things seriously with the Minotaur leader, and was pulling his punches to avoid causing irreparable damage to his body.

In this case, there is no such a thing as irreparable, since the Minotaur leader's body will end up healing from whatever injury sustained after undergoing an evolution.

That is right. Despite what he had done to the Minotaur leader, and the one sided beating he has been delivering, Orun still has intentions of having him and his peers follow him to the desert, their new habitat.

This place might seem like home to them, but it isn't. The real owners, are the humans, not the monsters.

Whatever lingering feelings or attachment that they have toward this forest, Orun will crush it all.

pαпdα-ňᴏνê|·сóМ His purpose of beating up the Minotaur leader, is to make him realize how weak and defenseless he really is.

All it would require the humans to take over this forest, and sending the Minotaurs packing, is a large amount of human soldiers, and they have that at their disposal.

As long as they are in humanity's territory, they will never be safe nor free to wander around, or be privileged to call a particular place as their own habitat.

"you have a resilient body, and that makes you a good fit as a general to the new monster empire that is to come".

The Minotaur leader had yet to give up, or shown any signs of being in despair before Orun's might.

His skill, continues to provide strength for him the longer the one sided battle rages on, and he could feel his blood boiling vigorously, at the thought of taking down Orun.
