Chapter Ninety-Eight: Victory
The Minotaur Berserker roared, his eyes red, and his already tall and strong body seemed to swell a little more.
It lowered its body, lowered its head, its huge horns protruding forward, and with a slam of its hooves, its huge body rushed straight towards it with all its might!
As I expected, it was the first to go berserk and charge after being provoked! The Minotaur's greatest weakness is their reliance on close combat, and their willingness to feel the enemy snap under a powerful charge.
It's wise to weaken the Minotaur with a ranged attack before it charges, and if I have a spear in my hand and prop it up in the direction it is charging from, I can also use the power of the Minotaur's own charge to deal heavy damage to it.
However, the coarse minotaur's huge horns in front of it protect its body from falling forward, and I doubt how much the slings in its hands can do to a minotaur. As for the spear, not to mention that I don't have it in my hand, even if I do, I don't plan to use it, even if the spear can seriously damage the charging minotaur, but as long as it can't kill with one hit, the minotaur berserker who is in a state of rage will be close to me, a poor dark elf who is now weak and bloody, how much of a threat it will be!
So, I threw out a projectile that I held tightly in my hand, and landed in the middle of the distance between the Minotaur who was rushing over and me, and I had already attached the dark elf-like spell "Dark Magic" to it, and after the projectile broke away from my palm, a dark barrier with a radius of 6 meters spread out, enveloping us.
Since you have to charge in a straight line and can't pause, I'm betting that the berserk Minotaur Berserker won't stop charging because of the sudden appearance of a dark barrier......
There was a loud splash of water behind me, and I slowly descended from the air, secretly saying that I was lucky.
Just now, the tip of the horn almost grazed the sole of my shoe!
I hit the mark! The inexperienced young minotaur who had gone berserk did not stop charging because of the Dark Barrier, and the Minotaur who rushed into the range of the Dark Barrier could not see, and did not notice that I was taking off into the air to avoid its charging impact, nor did he realize that I was standing on the edge of the arena, so he crashed headlong and threw himself into the sewage that surrounded the stone slab.
It was a psychic blast that decided the outcome!
Psychic Blast is the most effective psychic attack against non-psionic creatures, and is the only AoE psychic attack, unlike other psychic attacks, it is not necessary to see enemies, and the minds of all creatures within the 18-meter cone area of the blast will be attacked. But the disadvantage is that it is not as hidden as other psychic attack modes, and the force field of the psychic attack will cause ripples in the air, and the transparent ripples in the air are difficult to be noticed, but the air ripples within the 18-meter cone-shaped area will be difficult to hide from all the spectators who have good eyesight and are watching the gladiatorial fight with full attention.
Therefore, the dark enchantment of the "Dark Technique" is still secondary to dealing with the Minotaur, and the real use is mainly to isolate the sight of the audience. And the other kind of spell "Levitation Technique" that gave the dark elf race on my body in advance is not the only way to dodge the charge, but the dark enchantment is only 6 meters in radius, which is not enough to cover the range of the Psychic Blasts I cast when I am on the ground, but I don't have to worry about this problem when I am in a high place, and the Psychic Blasts that fall from above.
Psychic Blast deals temporary charm damage to psionic creatures, but this psychic attack does no damage to non-psykers...... The stat damage that should have been taken will be changed to the stunned state.
I took a step back, out of the dark barrier, and stood at the very edge of the arena, turning to look at the sewage that surrounded the arena slabs in front of me.
I'm not sure if the Mind Blast was a success, after all, it was the first time it was used in real combat.
Shocked characters drop items they are holding and become immobile. However, even if the Minotaur is intimidated, he will still rush out of the arena and fall into the water due to inertia. But there is also another possibility, the minotaur was not intimidated, but simply lost his feet when he rushed out of the dark barrier and fell into the water.
But no matter what the process is, the result is the same, the shock effect of the psychic attack on non-psionic creatures should not be too long-lasting, and although the minotaur is not familiar with water, it may not drown.
I stared silently at the calm water, knowing that this was just the surface. When I stared at the water, I always felt that something was watching me from below, and a few white bones floating on the surface of the water reminded me. I had seen the laborers standing on the edge of the steps, hooking the bloody mutilated limbs of the losers with long hooks, dragging them out of the arena into the water, and immediately disappearing into them in a whirlpool, as if something was dragging the corpses down. Some kind of creature kept in water to clean up the carcasses of the gladiatorial arena? It's like the garbage disposal site in Demon Blade City uses scavengers to dispose of garbage. I haven't seen anything underwater with my own eyes, but I believe it exists.
Did that minotaur drown, or was he eaten by something underwater? The creatures that act as garbage handlers are not yet the opponents of the Minotaurs, but the Minotaurs are not familiar with water, so they may be solved by the garbage handlers who occupy the advantageous location. After all, it was in my plan. After waiting for a while, I was impatient to guess.
I only heard a "bang", a thick arm suddenly poked out of the water, one hand held high, tightly grasping the edge of the slate, and then a huge bull's head poked out of the water, the bull's eyes were wide open, the cow's mouth and nose were spraying water together, I couldn't dodge, and I was sprayed wet!
"Cough~cough~Huhu~Huhu~~~" While the minotaur coughed and spit water, he greedily breathed air, and I was a little clean-minded because I was wet with sewage!
"Waste wood! If you don't want to die obediently, you just want to be entangled, and it's so dirty and disgusting to spit on! Today I will do the right thing for heaven and let you know that you will end up without civility and rudeness! I shouted angrily, wielding my sword and chopping it down with all my might.
The minotaur let out a miserable cry of pain, and his body, which had already reached half of the water, fell again. Five bloody thick fingers were left on the slate.
The minotaur fluttered in the water a few times, and suddenly sank down violently, holding it high, and finally the injured hand on the surface of the water struggled in vain, and then completely disappeared under the water, leaving only a few small whirlpools on the surface of the water that quickly dissipated.
Although it is not known what is underwater, it was lucky today to be able to eat fresh live food. Standing patiently on the edge of the stone slab in the arena for a while, and seeing no more of the minotaur, I came to a conclusion.
