[OP: ]
Rein was excited as she looked at the giant creature and Eon was smiling at her excited face.
The being before them was not something they could go against individually right now, they both knew that much. But they didn't have to fight this thing alone.
The two were together and combined, they were more than enough to take down this illusionary creature.
Still… the opponent was strong.

—> Well… if this one was something real, it would have been fun, and our certain deaths but, thanks to that shitty headmaster, we got to have a free test of such a cute target.
—> This one's strong and though you can defeat it, prepare for the worst. It's the second most near-perfect illusion ever.
============
Eon agreed with those words, but sadly, it was actually just an illusion at the end of the day.
"Moooooooooooo!"
The monster with red, furious eyes, roared as it perceived its opponents.
It was a monster of earth, fire, and anger, so its rage was heating from the start.
-Thump! Thump! Thump!
-Dhum! Dhum! Dhum!
Previously, when it merely walked, its footsteps shook the grounds of a faraway land, but now that it was starting its attack, when it stomped towards them this time, the earth beneath its hoofs.
It was a strong creature, big like a mountain, and its anger was in a league of its own.
The axe in his hands was also just like him, a weapon that can't be graded in normal human terms.
It was colossal, as tall as one-third of the creature, as wide as the lower parts of its muscular chest, as sharp as those eyes looking down on the microorganism like two children quietly standing there, waiting for its arrival.
And it closed it in the blink of an eye too, trumpeting the beginning of their monumental battle…
-Boooooooooooooom!
It brandished its axe at the two with lightning-fast speed, shattering the ground and creating a crater so deep it could birth a lake.
But the two had vanished already, reappearing some distance away from the creature, ready for the battle with their weapons.
It was quick so the minotaur couldn't do any damage to them this time. Its giant size naturally made it difficult for it to have high movement speed.
It was natural but its raw power that made even the spectators of the dark room dumbstruck was mighty.
Both Eon and Rein knew they had disadvantages in strength. The size was also a problem as the creature was too difficult to reach for the two of them.
The adjective of 'mountainous' was a fact here. The creature was genuinely so big that even its eyes were bigger than the two of them.
It would be difficult to execute the 'the bigger they are, the harder they fall' thing.
The masculine thighs and rock-solid legs of the creature were its most protected areas.
"But that doesn't mean it will be impossible though." Rein smiled as she looked at her darling and Eon nodded back with the same smile.
"Should I mark it?" He asked, pulling the string of a good and expensive-looking magic bow that wasn't one of his nine favorite ones.
He was using a good (level-11) artifact bow though. It was good enough to attract the eyes of the dwarves in the dark room.
"Yup~. Let's start with KS beta 4 and then gamma 2 should be good finishing one, right~?" She Sneed excited as she caressed the blade of her scythe.
She was also using a (level-10) artifact scythe for some reason instead of her EFMW.
It was peculiar even to the spectators but the weapon she was using was good too. Especially the unique high enchantment on the weapon's blade.
"Moooooooahh!"
The creature, the humanoid bull mountain, roared once again and took out its axe from the ground which was almost splitting the crater in half.
"Let's do gamma 3. We will need that much force to finish this bastard. It has those defensive and offensive skills after all." He smirked after that and pulled back his bowstring.
Taking a small breath and arranging the unique green arrow from his white crack on the bow, he looked ahead at the giant creature and focused on his right leg.
Their objective was clear here, to make the creature taste some of the fresh grass on the ground, and from how much Eon knew about this creature, their habits, and all the natural responses, Rein knew they were at the very least going to win.
-Swiiiiiiiiiiiiish!
He released the arrow and the strange green arrow that looked as if made of glass containing a strange liquid, hit the leg of the creature and splashed some green liquid on its fur-covered leg.
"Moooooooo!"
The bull wasn't hurt but even with his giant body, he felt the strange sting of not the arrow but the liquid that seemed to have seeped straight into his skin and body.
The bull knew it wasn't harmful though, so it continued walking towards the two insects and the insects were done with their preparations so they vanished from that place too and reappeared on just the spot the mountain was going to step next.
"Khahahaha!" Rein was in the front and she laughed as some shadow clones came out from her shadow.
Eon stood there too but his bowstring was pulled back, and there was a (tier-4) magic circle materializing into an arrow on the string...
[[ "Three." ]] He counted as the spell (Hurricane arrow) finished materializing into the form of a chaotic storm.
[[ "Two" ]] She and her three clones also prepared a (tier-3) spell, (Aqua vortex slash) on their scythes.
The minotaur, with its impeccable senses, perceived the strong spells and was ready to react but just when he was about to reinforce its muscles around that area, their countdown ended and Eon released the arrow of magic.
-Swiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiish…!
The arrow moved at an unbelievable speed difficult for the mere screens to record and as soon as it reached before the brightly shining green spot that he previously marked, Rein also released all the spells.
-Shwwwwwwwwwash!
-Ooooooooooong…!
-Zhaaaaaa!
Four chaotic currents of water collided with the arrow of frantically moving water and instead of negativity affecting each other, the five magic circles synchronized with each other.
They were in perfect harmony so the blades of dark blue water started spinning around the light blue water arrow, giving a great boost to its already astonishing speed.
It happened in a fraction of the moment and the resulting combined magic spell collided with the sturdy body of the giant bull!
"Mhuoooooooooo?!"
It was unexpected, even for the spectators…
The individual attacks combined, meaning it was a perfectly calculated combination attack that they had planned perfectly beforehand.
It was rare so they all were surprised but the attack had become so powerful that it actually destroyed a layer of fur from the body of the giant creature.
It was an incredible achievement for a single attack from young ones like them but the bull was only enraged even more because of that.
Disregarding the small scratch, it continued its attack and smashed his axe just on the spot he was standing.
The two were there and saw the colossal axe coming down toward them. But instead of feeling any wind of fear, the two of them were calm like an empty pond.
They used their movement skills and vanished from the spot on that very moment and reappeared somewhere far, not taking damage from the attack this time too.
But that didn't last for long as the ground they had appeared on wiggled and long sharp spikes of earth sprang out from there.
They knew at that moment… the battle was starting in true meaning.
A thin aura of blazing red fire was now covering the angrily breathing bull. A steam of hot fog came out of his wide-open nostrils.
The creature was annoyed by the bugs, and though that annoyance came pretty early, that was just expected from a minotaur, the creature was portrayed as a personification of rage.
The big bull was now using their racial skill, a skill that made them one of the strong ones that ruled over the earth and flames.
They were sovereigns who had mastered the two elements and their size told their mastery over the elements.
The one before them was an adult minotaur, one that was grown pretty well but Eon did know the location of a few that were older, bugger, and stronger than this one.
But that wasn't necessary right now…
"That was close." He said as he dusted off the sand from the spike that barely grazed his shoulder.
"This is going to be legen—dary~!" She was smiling brightly, even more as she felt the strong spike of earth before her.
It was an illusion, but this experience was new and better than just playing with some weak illusions.
She was smiling, smirking actually, as she saw the colossal mountain burning with a strange red flame of anger.
Their battle was going to be long, probably the whole night would be spent in this long fight.
But they didn't have to worry about the time in this place.
"It's good that bastard cared for the little us and made this place two times faster than outside." Nodding at him, she vanished from her place and he shook his head at his crazy fiancee.
The opponent was strong. They might get hurt. But that just made her even more excited.
He knew he will have a difficult time saving his little witch…
