Evan's eyes sparked with excitement as he surveyed the intimidating figures that have from the looks of it undoubtedly come to take his life.
Their insidious thought was written all over their faces.
"Whoa, talk about a warm welcome party! I didn't expect to meet sources of EXP so soon," Evan exclaimed, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
Evan was aware that his every move was being broadcasted to the clan by the Monster Tower. However, the broadcast did not include his voice, which meant he could speak his mind without any worry.
Anyway, he knew he was going to have a thrilling time defeating them.
These beasts were at a high level, which meant he could earn plenty of EXP by taking them down.
It was clear that their arrival was not perceived as a threat but a free gift sent by the Goddess that would aid him in leveling up.
The Minotaur growled, "You're a bastard who trespassed on our land. Why would we welcome you? We are here to drag you to hell!"
Evan looked surprised as he could've never expected even in his wildest dreams that the Minotaur, a mere monster from the hell realm, would have the ability to speak in his mother tongue.
"You can talk in the common language of the Sun Moon empire? That's quite unexpected," he exclaimed, taken aback.
The Minotaur's lips twisted into a snarl, and its eyes narrowed. Evan's remark seemed to have incited its wrath.
"You thought I couldn't? How dare you underestimate me!" the Minotaur roared, charging towards Evan with intense murderous intent.
The Hellhounds followed their leader, snarling and growling as they approached Evan on all fours.
"Weaklings. This prince isn't someone the likes of you can trample upon."
Evan brandished his sword, unleashing a powerful blast of icy wind.
Whoosh!
It cut through the murky water and froze it solid as it surged towards them.
The Minotaur sprang to the side with impressive agility, evading the frosty gust.
"Your attack missed me!" it taunted Evan.
Evan grinned, revealing his pearly whites. The Minotaur's words had the opposite effect, and Evan didn't seem disheartened in the slightest.
A glint flickered in his eyes, indicating he had something else up his sleeve.
With a smirk, he retorted, "It wasn't meant for you."
Simultaneously, Evan flicked his wrist.
As if magic, the icy blast split into five arcs of frigidness, each streaking towards the Hellhounds with lightning speed. The attack caught them off guard, leaving them unable to react in time.
With a deafening crash, the five icy arcs struck the Hellhounds, opening up bone-deep lacerations in their bodies. The beasts yelped in pain, but their misery didn't end therr as their wounds burst forth with coldness that enveloped their fur with a thick layer of frost. Because of the cold assaulting them, the fiery glint in their eyes dimmed and their bodies became numb, causing them to stumble and fall into the shallow, murky waters, where they struggled to stay afloat.
The frigid tendrils creeping out of the lacerations in their bodies seemed to have a life of their own, swirling around the Hellhounds, creating a frozen prison that held them captive.
Grrrrrrrrrr!
The Hellhounds thrashed wildly, snarling as they attempted to break free from their icy prison. Flames erupted from their bodies, slowly melting the ice, weakening their frozen hold.
Evan furrowed his brow as he watched the scene unfold, knowing they wouldn't remain trapped for long.
"I need to act fast," he said, desiring to weaken the Minotaur before the Hellhounds broke free.
"MooOOOoooooo!"
Seeing its pets writhing in pain, the Minotaur let out a guttural roar that echoed across the swamp, sending ripples through the murky waters.
"I knew you were tougher than you looked," the Minotaur growled, its voice thick with malice. "But that just makes this all the more interesting. I'll take my time breaking you," it said as it hurled its axe towards Evan.
Whoosh!
The axe blasted through the air, humming ominously with dark energy as it hurtled towards Evan, who stood his ground, staring down the monstrous beast.
In a blink of an eye, the razor-sharp edge of the weapon drew perilously close to Evan, poised to cleave him in two, and just then, he made his move.
With what could only be described as masterful precision, Evan deftly maneuvered his body, tilting to the side and avoiding the deadly arc of the axe by a hair's breadth
The axe flew by him with a bone-chilling swoosh, leaving him unscathed.
"You are mistaken if you think you're stronger than me. The one who will be breaking bad is me, and the one who is going to break is you!"
As he spoke, Evan maintained his intense gaze on the Minotaur, a maniacal yet cool expression spread across his face. His eyes glinted with an otherworldly intensity, and his lips seemed to have curled into a devilish grin.
"Underestimating me, aren't ya?" The Minotaur chuckled, taking short, angry breaths. It raised its hand, and with a flick of its wrist, the axe that had lodged into the tree behind Evan teleported into its grasp. The weapon gleamed menacingly in the dim forest light, and the Minotaur's grip tightened around its handle as it prepared to strike again. "What a foolish move! I've sent countless climbers like you to their doom, and your name will be added to that list today."
Evan said nothing, his gaze shifting between the Minotaur's eyes and its axe.
"Your resting place will be this very spot!"
The minotaur bellowed a thunderous cry as it brandished its massive axe in a sweeping motion. Its blade ignited, releasing a fiery whirlwind that spiraled towards Evan with scorching intensity. The heat from the flames was so intense that it felt like the air around him had turned into a furnace.
Yet, despite the overwhelming ferocity of the attack, Evan seemed surprisingly calm and collected.
It was as if he believed he wasn't in mortal peril!
