Chapter 11, Are Black Minotaur's possible?

"Soaring Sun Slash!" A wave of concentrated heat in the form of a arc flew out killing Goblins and Kobolds that stood in our way.

"That's so cool Max!" Bell called as he stabbed a Goblin

"Thanks!" I called back while slashing more Goblins and Kobolds. "Yeah!" Festus yelled in agreeement. We were steadily continuing on through the dungeon at a good pace so far.

Soaring Sun Slash : A fire attributed enchantment spell. This spell will coat the blade of a weapon in immense heat that can burn through all sorts of things. By increasing the amount of mana to the blade, you can swing and release a arc of heat the chains the attack to multiple enemies with each arc becoming slightly weaker over time.

This was one of my spells/skills that weren't stated on my status in this world but on my other status (refer to the first short story/chapter).

As we were advancing quickly through the floors, I asked while we were taking a break, "Does the lower floors have this many monsters at a time?"

Lily was unpacking stuff for lunch, "Hm, I noticed it too. There seems to be a surplus of monsters than normal" Lily responded. As she extended her hand out to Bell, "Pass a swandwhich please, Master Bell"

"Ah, here." Bell gave Lily a sandwhich.

I was sitting munching on a sandwhich when a possibility occured to me, "Maybe there's a monster pantry nearby?" I suggested.

"Maybe, but I'm pretty sure that a monster pantry nearby is highly unlikely". Festus responded

Lily was taking a bite out of her sandwich when she stopped then looked at me, "Hm... for a newbie adventurer you seem very strong and well educated about the dungeon plus that weapon of yours" Lily pointed out.

"Um, im also curious" Bell piped in, his eyes showing that he was clearly interested.

These questions were getting a little too close and specific, I need to answer and change subjects. "...I asked around what made this place special and they told me about the dungeon and God's. As for Festus, that's his name. It's a long story. Besides, just because I'm a newbie adventurer doesn't mean I dont not have power, it might also mean that I'm just new to the guild." I responded then started to finish my sandwich.

I could see Lily trying to see if what I said was true or not and she shook her head. "Anyways, let's keep on going if there is a pantry nearby then—" A huge roar filled the room.

It instantly sent me and Bell to a defensive position. Small monsters like Goblins, Kobolds, Dungeon Lizards and some more species came running towards us. Me and Bell started to attack when they ran straight passed us.

"What the?!" Lily started as we watched them run.

"Pay attention, the real fight is about to start" I pointed down the passageway to 3 Black Minotaurs.

"T-that shouldn't be possible!" Lily cried. "Minotaurs are extremely rare and shouldn't be on lower floors but they are black as well!"

"Black, a type or irregular version of the monster. Those are normally sent by the dungeon to kill Gods and goddesses... wait, does that mean I count as a divine being or at least my power? But why not stronger ones, I must be a exception for being a dimentionalist or am I a exception?..." I shook my head, no time to think. We had to fight.

"Lily, Bell, I need you to get the rest of the group. I'll do my best to hold them off till back up arrives."

"But that's suicide plus one has a weapon!" Lily cried as she gathered up everything.

Bell brought out the Hestia Knife, "Yeah! We have a better chance if you and I—" Bell didn't have enough time as I rushed forward and punched one of the Black Minotaurs in the gut causing it to slide backwards but not enough to kill it.

I turned back and said, "see? I can hold my own. Don't worry, I got this." I turned and faced the Minotaurs and charged them.

"Don't die on us yet!" Lily yelled as she and Bell ran to get help.

"Ah... I forgot that the dungeon seals of all exits... I wonder how far they will get before they encounter a obstacle"

Clang! Clang!

The sound of our weapons clashing filled the room as we fought. I was doing my best pushing off the walls to gain momentum attacking and blocking attacks from the Minotaurs.

"I said I'd be fine, but will I actually be fine? At this rate I'll be out of stamina and mana plus- Argh!" I was sent straight back and into the ground by a Minotaurs hit. Luckily, it wasn't the one with a weapon but dam did that hurt.

As I started to get up a sharp pain came from my right arm and I coughed up a little bit of blood.

"Dam, a broken arm plus a probability of internal bleeding plus the fact that they broke through my reinforcement and protection magic. This just keeps getting better and better..." I looked to find Festus and he somehow ended up behind the Minotaurs.

I stood up holding my right arm in pain. "What am I going to do? My right arm is broken, stamina and mana is running out, and I am having trouble moving". The Minotaurs started approaching me when the one with the weapon stopped them.

"...What? Does he want to finish me off?". I was in no condition to fight back... Suddenly, everything started getting dark.

"What?" I mumbled. In the darkness that was encroaching on me I thought I hears Festus yell desperately? "Establish _ Link!" I couldn't hear part of it as the Minotaur roared.

Then complete silence and darkness...

I tried moving and looking around. Nothing, just a cold darkness...

"What is going on? More importantly, why do I feel... so cold?..."
