Book 5: Chapter 46: The Elder Princess

Scarlet

Not long after the roar, I see a large minotaur-like monster from old world Earth mythology charging down the maze corridor while roaring. The thing just plain looks like a humanoid bull, with a bulls head, bulls legs, and fur over a humanoid torso and arms.

To be honest, the only thing its missing from old world Earth myth is a tail.

Wonder why?

I float slightly into the air as the thing lets out a huff of visible air from its nostrils before I identify the thing. Only to find my lips person afterwards.

Huh.

Okay. So Im not the only one seeing this, right?N0v3lTr0ve served as the original host for this chapter's release on N0v3l--B1n.

Youre not, Tar answers.

Right. Thought so.

This minotaur is as strong as if not stronger than the Demon Lords.

Appears so, Tar comments as the minotaur begins charging towards us while making a sound thats a mixture of a roar and a bulls moo.

I watch the thing for half a second, finding it moving so fast that its almost just a blur with the ground beneath it actually cracking in its charge. Then I raise one hand and let out the Red Plague, causing a flood of it to fill the tunnel, sweeping away the minotaur in an instant until it crashes into the next bend in the corridor. At which point I stop it from proceeding further. Meanwhile it attempts to eat through the walls and floor of the maze until I stop it from doing so.

The minotaur on the other hand wait, really?

I frown as I realize that its already dead. Just utterly devoured by the Red Plague.

Most the latter rather than the former.

The only people Nyx finds fighting with the maze guardians instead of running are the ones Titled Knights of Humanity and Demon Lords. Ignoring the lunatic going around hunting them down to level up.

Something that shouldnt even be possible. To level up from the monsters in this universe.

Just another broken and terrifying aspect of the Red Plague. Its simply devouring the energy mother used to make the monsters in the first place.

Is this even still a competition at this rate? Nyx mutters as she watches the Wardens point count raise with each and every monster kill she makes.

Her brother shakes his head out of the corner of her eye and answers, This is why there are three types of competitions. And the Red Plague wont help her in the duels.

Nyx turns to look at her brother with a frown as she asks, Why not?

He just keeps staring down at the maze beneath them, ignoring the screen to look directly at the Princess in question. And after a few seconds, he answers, Because at the end of the day, shes a good person.

Nyx frowns at that answer, finding it difficult to understand.

If you have the power, why should you hold back from using it?

Her brother just glance at her with a sad look on his face and answers her unspoken question with a simple statement, Remember why I was chosen to be the next King instead of you? This is similar.

That has Nyx frowning harder, only for her to sigh and decide that its not something she can understand.

Emotions and empathy were never her strong suit after all.

So she refocuses her attention on the competitors down below, trying to find one that interests her and eventually locking onto a mindeater. One of the Demon Lords. And a powerful one to boot.

The Demon Lord is simply lying still within the dungeon as illusions move all around her, with more rushing through the dungeon. But unlike normal illusions, these can actually interact with things.

She looks interesting.
