A snake head shot out and bit into two lizardmen and caused confusion among the others. Dax jumped forward and slashed the napes of the into the remaining enemies. Their bodies began to shrivel up and turn into dust.
Dax and the snake looked at the scythe with similar looks of concern.
"What did I pick up?" He exclaimed "What have you been guarding?!"
The snake's tail slapped the back of his head and looked away in annoyance. Dax jumped on the snake's head dodging a lizardman's spear and slashed it heel The monster pushed back and joined it group.
"Hmm?" he thought in confusion
The snake used its tail like a spear and dealt killing blows of the monster chest except for one. It looked at Dax and tilted its head to the remaining lizard that was running away. Dax sped forward, aimed for a vital spot on the monster and it turned to dust.
"Ah...I'd like you all to meet Orion, he is the first of many beast I may or may not have." Dax remembered as he released a photo
The comments went wild!
Dax with an expressionless face. He wore a white suit, white shirt with light blue tie and white outerwear in a golden chair. Orion seated coiled behind him and looking deeply at the audience.
"Shall we find the others." He smiled opening more holographic screens
The displayed the various fights of the separated members.
[ RubyReds: The fanbase system doesn't have this function!]
Dax avoided the question and walked forward. He paused at a crossroad and pressed some buttons on and a rough map was drawn out.
"Shall we find Quill." he smiled
~~
Atlas sighed and kicked the skull aside. He looked at the comments and saw an interesting question.
[CrazedFan: How come Boss Dax can see you guys?]
"Ah, I could if I wanted too." Atlas smiled "But he threat...I mean informed I not to tell you."
A horde of skeletons with rusty swords and sighed again. A shiver ran down his spine as an oppressive force descended on him. In the back was a larger skeleton probably 1.7 meters tall covered in silver armor and hammer in its bony hand.
"I should have been content." he clicked
In an instant Atlas appeared above skeleton warrior and the gloves on his hands began to glow. Gravity pushed down below and the weaker skeletons were crashed to fragments. His heavy fist collided with a hammer with killing intent.
The skeleton kicked his gut and brought its hammer down before he could react. He caught the hammer and the skin of his palms broke open. The skeleton what survived his gravity attack were healed and circling closer to him.
"Increase in speed can really change your life." Atlas thought
He released the hammer and rolled timely to the left which was also called the wall. The structure crumbled as a new passage was formed. A bullet hit the skeleton warrior through the dust and its body began to float upward.
The hammer was now heavier than the warrior and fell to the ground while it rose. Atlas appeared above the skeleton warrior and his fists crashed down on its skull. Fine white powder spread outward.
"Could it be that the buff was only for strong monster?" Atlas grumbled
"MMAAWWW!!!"
The maze shook with the loud bellow and Atlas had a ominous feeling and ran toward the source.
He found the minotaur staring at a huge heavily wounded bear surrounded by rumble of the destroyed maze. Atlas fired a bullet and the bull headed monster crushed into the ground with a grunt.
"Noah! How are you?" Atlas asked "Need first aid?"
Noah grunted, "I'll live. It's fast...and its regeneration is annoying."
The minotaur roared and forced itself to move toward them. Atlas cut through the space in front of them. A hand slipped out of the line, a red eye became visible first and an aggressive force was sent to the monster.
The minotaur paused as Dax walked with an expressionless face and cold eyes.
"Hmm?" he wondered glancing briefly at Atlas
Atlas smiled, "Hold it off. We'll get the rest of the faction."
The coldness vanished form their leader's eyes and a helpless smile spread over his face. He didn't know what to do with this situation.
"Shouldn't we run away together?" Dax suggested
Atlas answered, "No, we won't be able to find it again. So leader, do this for the team."
Dax spun toward the monster as Atlas and Noah ran away. It's gravity returned to normal the further Atlas got and managed to dodge his attack. The ground underneath turned to dust, creating a sink hole and the minotaur fell back.
Their auras clashed with each other neither one giving in and each side sizing up the enemy. The minotaur brought down its axe and collided with his scythe. Dax was pushed back in the battle of strength and forced to roll to the right.
He twisted the weapon and pulled it up. The monster understood the danger of that blade and jumped back. Dax coughed up blood as he eyed the adversary.
"I hope they get here soon." he thought with a frown
At the same time, Alas opened up screen that displayed the other members and paused. He called Blake.
"Where are you?" Atlas asked in a panicked voice
Blake answered, "I'm in a heated battle with a chief lizardman. I...I can't talk!"
"Stop eating the sorbet!" Atlas snapped
The screen showed Blake levitating in the air, a beautiful glass filled with icy treat and he was looking around. He didn't see Atlas anywhere and was surprised even more.
"Hurry up. Find Ethan and Quill, we need to go assist Dax fighting the minotaur."
Blake's laid back expression evaporated and he got to work floating above the maze with caution.
~~
The wounds on the minotaur healed again while those on Dax just kept on getting worse. He ripped his tie off and tied it over the deep cut on his left side. The ground was painted red and a dry wind blew in as his red eye glowed slightly.
Different types of tomb stones broke out of the ground each having different designs. All kinds of double edged swords fell in the graveyard with a few scythes and Dax's cold eyes looked at the monster.
Xavier rose from his seat and looked at the scene in shock. He couldn't squeak out any words to describe the situation.
"Round Two?" Dax's voice echoed
