Magical Love: Learn To Love In Another World

Chapter 96: Mid Boss Fight Part Two

At Able's command, everyone quickly dodged and began running circles around the minotaur. Luckily the room was big enough to be able to handle such a strategy. But I noticed a flaw in our formation C when I saw how quickly Sam was running out of energy. "Able, I will draw its attention, help Sam!" 

"Alright be careful!" Able did not hesitate to agree to my idea. I guess he knew with my current strength it would be hard for me to die just from drawing the minotaur's attention for a few moments.

Instead of running around it, I turned and ran towards it with my sword in hand. I waved my hand sending multiple fireballs at its face causing the minotaur to roar out in pain and wave his axe like a maniac. While it was dealing with the injury I inflicted on its face, I took the chance to slash at its thick leg with all my might. I had expected to be met with resistance but who would have thought my sword sliced through it like butter chopping the minotaur's leg right off? Blood splashed in all directions as I quickly jumped back to try to dodge it. Unfortunately, I still got drenched in it which made me almost hurl what little food I had left in my stomach. The strong stench of iron filled my nose and was still a smell I was not really used to. 

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Able, grab hold of Sam, and take him to the furthest part of the room. Marsil was still raining arrows down on to the minotaur as it lost balance from losing its leg. It crashed down to the ground sending its axe flying off to the side of the room. 

"Rei, now, finish it!" Able yelled out to me.

I was still gagging over the smell that filled my nose but hearing Able yell out to me, I did my best to ignore the feeling in my stomach and ran towards the minotaur's head. I figured if I could easily cut its leg off I should be able to cut its head off just as easily. I ran up its arm and jumped into the air raising my sword up over my head, spinning my body into a summersault, and slashing down with it my sword. My sword hit its mark slicing through the thick neck as if I was slicing a piece of paper. But I was not able to cut all the way through so as soon as I landed I knew I had to strike once more. But when I turned around I saw Able doing the same thing I did finishing the job for me.

It was only when the minotaur stopped moving did I fall to my butt and yell out my complaints: "I'm sticky and it smells!" 

Able who was walking over to me let out a laugh as he shook his head. "There was no way to dodge that shower of blood. Even I wouldn't have been able to do it and speed is my forte." 

"But still this sucks!" I whined. Sam and Marsil both came over to us as well. Sam was still catching his breath from all the running he did. My guess was that he was still very exhausted from all the previous battles. We had not been getting much sleep these past two weeks. The entire fight was much more simple than I thought. Once the minotaur lost its vision it just wildly swung its axe which was easy to dodge. Then after it lost its balance and fell, on top of losing its weapon, its fate was sealed. This battle which should have been hard lasted an entire five minutes. I was starting to wonder if I was a little too overpowered

"Now what? Can we go home now?" I asked.

"We should be able to. The barrier around the teleporter seems to be gone." Marsil replied. "But Rei, I must say red is not your color." 

"Do you really need to rub it in!? It's not like I wanted this to happen!" I hated this feeling so much. Because when the blood began to dry which made me feel even stickier!

"For now, let's see if the boss dropped anything." Able said as he walked over to the corpse. I was just now noticing that next to the minotaurs corpse was a golden chest that had balls of golden lights floating up from it.

"Let's see here." Able opened the chest and multiple lights shot out of it and landed on the ground next to it. When the lights dimmed they revealed a bunch of items. "Ummm... Err Rei, would you be willing to wear this?" 

I looked over to see Able holding up something that looked like a bunch of strings tied together. My face instantly went black as I gave a dirty look to Able who only smiled wryly before tossing it to the side. Of course, Marsil was not going to let me off the hook that easily as she said: "You know if you can't wear it in public you could always give him a secret fashion show in your room can you not?"

Her words made me turn bright red but at least I was not alone in this, because Able's face also turned bright red. Marsil even came over and poked me in the side making me jump. My sides are ticklish okay! 

"Anything else!?" I asked, not wanting to speak about the string thing anymore.

"A few more pieces of armor but they are all leather, some have intellect while some have other stats. How do you want to distribute it?" Able asked. But he brought up a good question. Three of us used leather armor and magic. 

"I am not sure how many pieces are there?" I asked.

"Five pieces."
