My Dragon System

Chapter 69:An old friend

Gary quickly turned around to see what was behind him but the minotaur was already swinging his fist towards him. Gary managed to lift his sword just in time to block the attack. Although he managed to block the attack, it was useless. Gary had been sent flying to the point where we could no longer see him. As Gary was flying through the air, he had managed to throw his light crystal on the ground towards us.

The situation was bad. Gary had been flung outside of the light's reach, making him lost in the darkness. It was hard for us to say how hurt he was. Luckily, Gary had thrown the light into the middle of the chamber allowing us to at least see the beast. A King tier was too hard for us right now. Even with the four of us together there was little chance of defeating the beast. The lighting conditions were against us and my dragon eyes skill was useless.

The minotaur suddenly looked over towards us. Without giving us time to think it came charging. Monk and I quickly used our shadow step skill to dodge and hide from the minotaur. When we turned around, we noticed Jasmine hadn't moved a single step. She was covered in sweat and was paralyzed with fear.

"Jasmine move!" Monk shouted.

Jasmine managed to snap out of it and saw the minotaur attempting to grab her but it was too late. The minotaur had her tightly gripped in its hand and began squeezing her. The sound of her bones creaking could be heard through the chamber. Her screams were almost deafening.

Then I saw a small figure jump up to the minotaur's hand and with two daggers it stabbed right into the back of its hand. It was Monk. I couldn't believe the person who was most scared out of all of us had already moved in to save Jasmine.

The minitour released its vice grip on Jasmine, allowing her to fall to the floor. The enraged minotaur's focus was now centred on Monk. The minotaur would swing at monk, but Monk was too fast and agile for the creature, ducking and weaving avoiding every attack.

Jasmine was still on the floor. It looked like she was too injured to move. The minotaur seemed to be getting more and more frustrated at Monk. Suddenly, it stopped swinging at Monk. Now between its two horns, it looked like little bolts of electricity were gathering. The electricity between its horns started to get bigger and bigger.

Just then, Gary had appeared from the direction he was thrown from. His left arm was completely misshaped, twisting in a way that was unnatural. It was definitely broken.

He shouted, "Watch out! It's an elemental attack, get out of there Monk!"

Monk heeded Gary's warning and immediately dashed towards us. For some reason, it seemed like while the beast was gathering its electricity, it was unable to move. At the same time, we all had the sudden realization that Jasmine was still lying on the ground only a few feet away from the minotaur. The minotaur's attack was definitely still in range.

Jasmine could see that the minotaur was gathering its strike. She tried her best to crawl over towards us. With a panicked expression, Gary tried rushing over save her, but Monk got in his way.

"We have to save her!" Gary exclaimed.

"It's too late! Do you want us all to die?!" Monk shouted.

Gary knew Monk's words were true, but he couldn't help but curse at himself for how weak he felt.

The electricity now had stopped gathering between the horns of the beast and now was sparking off of its whole body. Spotting Jasmine desperately crawling away, the beast started to move towards her. It lifted both of its hands and slammed them into the ground.

With a thunderous crack, dust and rocks were flung everywhere. It was as if lightning had just struck the ground. When the dust finally settled, we could see the minotaur standing in a crater about 4 meters wide.

"Where's Jasmine!" Gary shouted.

"Her body must have been smothered to dust," Monk said struggling to hold his tears back.

"Jasmine's fine," I said.

Monk and Gary then turned towards me and noticed a giant black-furred wolf by my side. The wolf was the same size as an adult tiger and had a large horn on its forehead. Then the two of them noticed something else. The wolf currently had Jasmine on its back.

"How.... why is this magical beast helping us?" Monk wondered.

While the minotaur was gathering its electric powers, I had summoned Noir to my side. Now was not the time to keep any secrets. I needed to use my full strength if there was any chance of us getting out of here alive.

"There's no time to explain. You just have to know it's on our side! Noir, take Jasmine somewhere safe."

Noir quickly ran to a safe distance, gently laid Jasmine down, then quickly returned to our side. The minotaur currently still had electricity pulsing across its body, meaning it was still dangerous.

"I'm going to grab it. You need to hide for now and when the time is right, use all the power you can to kill the thing," I ordered.

"Did you see what it did to the ground? You won't be able to handle it."

"Just trust me!"

The two of them then disappeared into the shadows while Noir had run off somewhere to hide as well. Currently, the minotaur's attention was all on me just as I wanted.

I started to gather Ki inside my body. It was the most I had ever gathered before, but it wasn't going to be enough.

The last time I had used mana, it nearly resulted in my death. However, I was a lot stronger now. With the addition of mana, the Ki size increased. I then activated as many cells as I could in my hands making them as hard as possible.

The minotaur then began to charge at me headfirst. Its speed was incredible. It seemed like the lightning properties had also given it a boost.

Then when the minotaur was a foot away from me with its horns about to pierce my face, I grabbed hold of both of its horns as tightly as I could. Unable to counter the minotaur's immense strength and momentum, I continued to be pushed back. Lightning strikes were constantly coursing through my body sending waves of intense pain, but I knew whatever I did I couldn't let go.

The minotaur charged forward until finally my body was slammed into the wall. The minotaur had stopped moving.

"Now, everyone attack!"
