Chapter 47

Chapter 47

I made it back to the main D Class platform and checked out the list of dungeons.

The Minotaur Dungeon caught my eye. The old merchant said it would be better to challenge this one with a group as a D Class hunter, but I think it'll be fine. He doesn't know how many skills I have, they're more valuable than levels anyways.

I won't even be challenging the boss either, the normal dungeon monsters will be the perfect specimens to test out my new skill.Ñøv€l--ß1n hosted the premiere release of this chapter.

I walked through the crowded station towards the correct train platform.

"We need a combat magic user for a loot based raid, we pay well!"

"Two tanks looking for a team, 5 silver each for an 8 hour raid. Anybody need us?"

"Support types listen up! Buffs or healings, anything to help. Exp focused raid, anyone interested?"

Some of these parties are probably good and honest hardworking people. I'm just not interested after yesterdays disaster. I'll be hunting solo again for a while, it suits me better anyways.

I walked passed them all without batting an eye and stood by the platform that would take me to the Minotaur Dungeon.

There was 1 other full party standing and waiting for the train next to me. It was a team of 5, I wonder if they're all going to this dungeon too? I used inspect.

[Lv. 161]

[Lv. 168]

[Lv. 172]

[Lv. 174]

[Lv. 265]

A Level 265? That's a C Class.

He's a tall and strong looking member of their party with a huge sword on his back. If I had to guess I'd say he's about 30 years old. He must be the team leader... maybe its a guild raid and he's helping them level? Or they paid him to power level the 4 of them? Who knows...

The other team members were standing behind their leader talking amongst themselves. One of them was a short red haired girl, we made eye contact for a split second but were interrupted by the sound of an incoming train.

"Screeeeech"

The train arrived and I boarded through the closest door right behind them.

The team leader took a look at me and smiled.

"You headed off to the Minotaur Dungeon too?"

I didn't look directly at him.

"Yeah. Solo, not interested if you're going to invite me to your group."

"Haha, I got it. I just haven't see you around this dungeon yet. The Tara Guild basically runs this Minotaur Dungeon. I'm leveling up our fresh D Class recruits."

30m....

20m....

The Minotaur on the right turned its head and spotted me. It let out a few grunts then turned its full body towards me. I gripped my blade tighter and kept walking forward.

The beast started to charge, the other two monsters turned to look at me but stayed back and watched.

This Minotaur's aura is strong, this will be a serious battle. I ignite my sword into flames and start running towards the beast as well.

"CLANGGG"

Sparks fly as we clash sword and axe. It's a strong opponent, but like most of these larger monsters I have it completely beat with my speed and agility.

I jump back to face the beast again. It grunts and pushes large amounts of air from its nose. We charge towards each other again.

"CLANGGGG"

My sword and its axe collide. After this attack I twist around the monster's left side continuing the momentum of my strike as flames and sparks fly through the air.

The monster's eyes track me and it attempts to turn with me. The beast lifts its heavy axe up after our clash to go for another strike, but it's too late. The minotaur's torso is wide open, I focus my fire magic into the tip of my blade and land a fiery gash across the monster's abdomen up to its chest. I land and sprint backwards to admire my work.

"RUUUUUAAAARRRR!"

The Minotaur lets out a roar as the fire residue in its gash burns bright. It's in pain, but the battle is definitely not over yet. The two monsters behind it are watching maliciously, but haven't moved from their spots in the background.

The beast on fire looks me in the eyes and readies its axe again. We charge at each other.

"CLANGGGG"

Sparks fly high and the monster raises its axe immediately after impact this time. It learns quick, these monsters definitely have higher intelligence than I had assumed.

We stood 10m apart. I'm starting to break into a sweat. It's not a life threatening battle at all, but this monster is putting up a good fight.

We charge at each other once again. I decide to completely dodge the axe's swing and weave around the Minotaur. It wasn't expecting this, I have a perfect opening.

I plant my right foot and make a full U turn facing the monster's back. It's turning as well, but again... Too slow.

Another hit!

I make a fiery gash across the monster's back from shoulder to hip. It cries out in pain, but still doesn't drop to the floor. I can see why these guys would be a problem if they were to attack a lower level hunter in a group.

"RWWWUUUUUAAAARRRR!"

The Minotaur lets out a mighty roar. It's definitely very injured now, one more good hit and its done for. The only downside is I really pissed it off.

The beast turned to me with fire residue burning intensely on its front and backside.

The two Minotaurs that were staying out of the fight previously turned towards me as well.

I gripped my sword tighter and grinned as the 3 monsters started their charge straight at me.
