Dax jumped toward the monster and it brought its weapon down. A sword shot out of the ground and disrupted the axe's trajectory. He didn't miss the opportunity plunging his blade its forearm.
The minotaur clenched it free hand and Dax channeled his inner energy into the scythe. The monster sensed the danger and ripped the arm off and created some distance. The blade largened releasing red mist that was concentrated on the huge area and crept outwards.
"Afraid?" Dax's asked
His red eye behind the red mist covered blade. He grabbed a double-edged saber, filled it with red aura and slashed it down. A red aura was sent outward and forced the Minotaur back again.
All the blades glowed and red mist crept everywhere with ominous intent. Although to the shook of the fans the Minotaur snorted and a smile spread over it's bull face.
Ruby cracks extended out of his right eye matching his iris and his cold expression turned into a smirk.
"You know...I made every single blade you see here." he told with pride
Scythe in right hand and double-edged saber in his left. He raised the saber and pointed it toward his enemy with madness in his eyes.
"Let no one say I won because I had a good blade." Dax said seriously " And just like you, I will write my own legend"
Minotaur and teenager stared at each other for a moment in understanding as an old tale and a new one meet each on a new chapter.
Dax ran forward raised the two-sided saber and clashed with the minotaur's axe. He brought down his scythe into the left eyes and the minotaur's hooved foot kicked him in his abdomen.
The teenager held his ground as blood poured out of his mouth. Four blades shot out of the ground into the Minotaur's thigh, it faltered and Dax managed to push the axe to the side.
He pulled on the handle of the scythe and pulled the Minotaur toward him. The monster bashed its forehead against Dax's, breaking his glasses and causing him a nosebleed.
He pushed back ripping the scythe out of it body. Dax brought out new thin rimmed googles, strapped them onto his head and spat a clot from his mouth.
The Minotaur's wounds were already healing and it tore off the sections of flesh with red mist clinging to it. Dax knew that the monster was intelligent, noticed that its healing ability had increased and leaped forward.
All the swords clustered in front of him and clashed with the incoming axe. Dax swiped the saber upward sadly was intercepted by the Minotaur fist.
It raised it hoof, pushed through the blade shield and attacked hit his wounded abdomen again.
"You play dirty." Dax coughed and received a snort
He made the blade clamp into the hoof that was still stuck in it.
The Minotaur managed to find it balance, raised its axe high and Dax prepared himself mentally.
"DUCK!"
He fell to the ground, the blades lost their vigor and dropped to the ground. Noah used his body in bear form to push the Minotaur back and let out a ferocious roar.
For the first time a thick killing aura enveloped Noah's entire being. His front paws gauntlets which made his claws longer and a helmet revealing determined black eyes.
Dax was panting heavily on the ground, his ears were ringing and the intense lost of blood was taking its toll. Atlas looked at him with worry.
"Want to seat this out?" Ethan asked although it sounded like an order
He looked in front at the blades he made in a rush after clearing the dungeon on their island. More cracks spread around his eye, the color deepened and the blades glowed as red mist spread out.
Dax answered with a smile, "Find someone else to do this next time."
Noah roared, "Anytime now!"
Dax yelled, "We need to bring it down fast or it will heal itself!"
They looked at the Minotaur with determination. Their leader kept it here using his blood, sweat and madness meaning they had to deliver.
"Noah tank, Ethan and me deal damage, Blake's our guy in the sky, Atlas ranged attack and tell Quill where to shot." Dax ordered
They all glanced a moment at Quill whose eyes have been shut since getting a glimpse of the horror.
"Good things that time." Blake said in comfort
The Minotaur bellowed at Dax as if asking if they were done. After clashing for so long it also needed a break and offered this finally courtesy to the young warrior. As it hoped he didn't back down, raised it scythe and prepared to attack again.
A circle of grey silvery ground appeared around Noah and the Minotaur. On one half after the grey circle for about a kilometer was cover in Dax's tome stones and double-edged swords paired with red mist. The other half was covered in purple ice and several spikes sprouted out of it with Ethan holding a spear.
[ SunnyWinter: What am I looking at?! How is this possible!!!]
No one had time to care about the increase in fans, the comment or fanbase.
For five hundred meters around Ethan and Dax's field was covered in darkness deeper than night with Atlas at its center. Another five hundred was cover in light blue light with multi colored crystals and a shiver Quill with eyes closed.
The entire area was enclosed with a cube with Blake in the air and Dax gave the Minotaur nod. It let out a roar and tried to attack Noah blocking his path with his axe.
Ethan jumped in and stabbed its unguarded side. The Minotaur gripped the spear handle and the scent of burning flesh swept through but the creature didn't let got.
It kicked Noah's knee forcing him to kneel and raised it axe to clash with Dax's scythe. The Minotaur lower his head and used it horn to left Noah into the air.
BANG
Noah hit into the Quill's flame lance spell. Blake tossed the bear back to the monster, dug his claws into its chest and stared into its eyes with a low growl.
The Minotaur pulled Noah into a hug and pulled them both to the grey ground underneath. The monster bashed him to the floor, raised it axe to deflect Ethan again.
Although a fine line appeared beside the mantis, Dax slipped out and swung his scythe into its thigh.
The Minotaur roared, tired to stand but Noah's gripped onto him. Dax and Ethan pushed back. Thousands golden spheres controlled by Blake rained down on the monster and Noah.
When the dust settled it revealed Noah's back ripped apart and the Minotaur holding him up like a shield a few snapped claws from the gauntlets trapped in it chest.
"We're doing the Chessboard Strategy: Play 44!" Dax coughed "Round Four, all or nothing!"
