Branch 47.23-A Chapter: Intermediate Boss Battle!
·
You have taken Annette's advice and made the words and actions of the teenage prisoners one of the more complicated aspects of the promotion process.
If she's really worth delving.
The werewolves were summoned constantly, and when they died, they disappeared without a trace.
After you've killed three groups of ten werewolves and carefully navigated a few chain traps, you'll find yourself in a special room that is relatively large.
You stand on the floor of a huge stone sculpture of skulls, in the middle of a pentagonal room, with five thick cold iron chains hanging above your head, and all five walls are carved with terrifying images of second-class minotaurs that look like illustrations in children's books, or biting at the heads of living people, or trampling on the ground, and the five large-headed minotaurs all hold long-handled battle axes of the same appearance, drenched in blood.
Alyssa reminded that this is already the area where the middle boss is located. Once upon a time, a fierce minotaur was stationed here, roaming freely in the labyrinth, hunting down any adventurer or other living creature that dared to enter. Judging by the wreckage, it even eats the orcs in the dungeon. "Totem of Thorns" is powerless to win...... A real magical monster.
Although the minotaur had already been killed by the otaku mage, in this assessment, Tong En stubbornly tried to reproduce the scene at that time, and it took a lot of effort.
That is to say...... Now there is a Minotaur boss here too?"
"According to Tong En, because he couldn't find that kind of real terrifying monster, he arranged for a plural of slightly weaker minotaurs. ”
"Dizzy. More than one?"
The three girls whispered. That doesn't sound like good news.
Thanks to the increased strength of the adventurers and the many trips to the second level to explore, the labyrinth you are in has been explored by others and has no secrets to speak of. Including this pentagonal room, which was originally heavily trapped. The real reason why the proportions of the minotaur on the wall are depicted so out of shape is that each mouth can reach into the hand, so the head is large. And in the mouth, there is a hidden mechanism.
No other way
You and the three girls each walk up to the correct pattern, put your hand into the relief mouth, hold, and twist the lever. The fifth wall slowly rises with a rumbling vibration and a secret door, and the four of you must keep the switch open to keep it open, and if you let go, the door will fall immediately.
This means that the squad needs at least five people to have one person pass. It is impossible that the team must be dismantled, otherwise how would the "Thorn Totem", which only had four people at the time, pass through here?
The four Pure Physics warriors, who are experienced and have nimble brains, have discovered that they can hook the mechanism in the statue's mouth with a cold iron chain hanging from their heads, so that all the members can let go and enter the secret door together. I'm afraid that this method is not something that every adventurer can think of, but fortunately, it has now become a strategy method that has been announced to the public.
All of you,
Smooth,
Let's go through the secret door and pass through the midpoint of the first floor of the entire dungeon. As of now, we're halfway through the journey.
There will be several minotaur bosses in the near future. The devil knows where they're hiding around here, peeking out in the dark shadows. The sound of breathing beside you becomes light and shallow unconsciously, and you hold your breath for concentration.
It's a bit of a sudden—you fall into a trap and get separated from each other.
Following a slide-like diagonal pipe, you slide down alone at high speed, and by the time light reappears in front of you, you've fallen into your cage. The cross metal bars are thick, the ground is damp with a little water and inexplicable debris, and you don't have any companions by your side.
Except for a minotaur, armed with a great axe, standing in a cage. There were no companions, no exits, just a terrible heavy pant sound and a pair of eyes glowing red in the darkness—bloodthirsty and mad.
It stares at you, its nose constantly emitting the kind of squirting sound that is characteristic of cows. An indescribable smell permeates the cage.
"Master, where are you?" came Annette's call not far away. Through the dim light of torches on the wall, you confirm that everyone is there. It's all around. Everyone fell into a different cage - you, Annette, Melanie, Alyssa, the teenage prisoner each in a cage - and the team was completely dismantled. Unfortunately, Leia, the only healer on the team, stayed in place above because she could fly.
Each is facing a minotaur. Melanie could have flown too, but she chose to fall together, fearing that the situation would be irreparable. At least I'm still getting closer to you now.
Each of the minotaurs stood in the shadows, all of them looking to be over two meters tall, their muscles swelling to the point of almost exploding, and they were armed with ominous red axes!
Why do I accidentally drop a trap?
Simply put, there are no loiters on the team. You, Annette, and Alyssa don't have the ability to detect traps, and Melanie knows a little bit about the old traps with her ancient experience. Perhaps there is another important reason, you slept with Raomi last night, twice, and even with the blessing of Leia, your luck has fallen to the level of passerby.
Then let's fight!
Is there any other choice?
You have to kill this tall and burly minotaur as fast as you can, and then find a way to save the others. At least, if it's too late, the teenage prisoner will be dead.
You raise your transparent shield in your left hand, hold the dwarven warhammer in your right hand, and kick your front leg with your back leg, staring intently at the boss in front of you. If you are given a chance, you can cast a spell to greatly increase the speed at which you can kill the opponent, but you are too close to the minotaur and there is not enough space in the cage. You're starting to worry about Annette, she's a pure mage who suffers too much to take on a purely melee enemy in such a small enclosed space.
Suddenly, the minotaur took a few steps back.
It's a charge!
It's going to charge! Distance, then with its long horns, exaggerated weight, high speed, and brute force, it will pierce and pick you up in the chest, draining every drop of blood. Your shield is a force field wall, which is hard, but not invincible...... How many times will it be able to withstand the charge of the bull and the direct blow of the giant axe?
You seized the opportunity for the other party to retreat slightly, and in a little moment, you started casting spells!
Estimates for flash sales and control classes are not going to be easy. The safest one is the damage type, weakening the boss a little bit. Every spell is precious, and no immunity failures are allowed!
Your hands dance rapidly, tampering with the warp and weft of the magic web at your fingertips, lingering and condensing mana, aiming at the other party.
The other party jumped backwards!
Keep your feet off the ground!
threw away the long-handled battle axe, clasped the bars tightly on all fours, and cried silently: "Don't get close to me perverted, I'm still a little girl!"
......
The spell that was about to erupt was slammed on by you, and it stayed at your fingertips, continuing to brew, but not casting. A flame swayed violently in front of you. You freeze in place, because the boss is scared and crying, like a frightened two-meter-old giant cat hanging on the wall and not daring to come down. Crying this is called a pitiful.
You take off the torch from the wall,
Slightly closer.
Cow head, human body. Beneath the ragged cloth was the silhouette of four breasts, perhaps the only sign that could distinguish its gender. The cow's face was full of frightened tears, and it was flowing down with snot.
"Go, go, don't come near me, woo woo! They all say you're a pervert, as long as it's a girl, no matter what race you are, you won't let go, you're already pregnant with a whole village! I'm going to get pregnant, I'm still young, I don't know that, woo woo woo ......"
You scared the minotaur boss out of the way. Fame alone.
Fraud?
Minotaurs don't have this kind of intelligence, do they?
...... What the hell is going on!
I don't know if I should throw this magic in my hand!
You pay attention and quickly check what is going on around you. The giant axe on the ground is a magic weapon, and its power is still relatively fierce. In the Minotaur ...... There is a cage door next to the maiden (?), and the key hangs around its neck. The other party had no intention of fighting, and there was no sound of battle breaking out in the other cages around him.
