Beware the Weapon Rampaging Minotaur
Bell is doing a last checkup on his armor to make sure nothing is out of place and to make sure he has all of his tools, so that he doesn't lose one of them like with his black knife.
"Bell, are you ready?" Leina called out from outside.
"I'm coming!" Bell responded he quickly went outside seeing his party.
"You girls ready?" Bell asked.
"We sure are." Leina nodded and showing her sword.
"I'm all packed with everything we need for our trip down the Dungeon." Lili twirled around once showing her backpack.
"Ready to kick some ass against some monsters if they get in our way." Risty smirked.
"Okay, our goal here is to make our way down to the Eleventh floor of the Dungeon then maybe to the twelfth floor. Be sure to watch out for each other and be prepared for some fighting, only by working together can we do something that none of us have thought of doing separate." Bell said giving a good speech.
"Good speech, kid." Risty complimented.
"I was just saying things that most leaders would say to their group." Bell chuckled, scratching the back of his head.
"But it was still from the heart and your heart is what draw us to you." Leina believed strongly.
Leina walks close up to Bell with a giggle making the former nervous though he smiles at his girlfriend and the two share a kiss together while being watch by their party members, Lili pouted feeling jealous that she couldn't get to him first and Risty just grin believing that Bell is more of a man than she thought.
"You all better come home safe." Hestia walked up to them.
"We will, Goddess Hestia and we might bring back something that could be a trophy for the Familia." Bell said with a confident smile.
"That would be nice, but like I said just come back to me safely." Hestia smiled, she grabs Bell's face and kiss him on the lips shocking the white-haired boy.
"Remember, I'm the number one girl." Hestia grinned and walked back into the Church.
"Oh my, love between a mortal and a deity. It makes me feel tingly on the inside!" Melpha giggled and blushing.
"Come on, Bell, it's time we get going." Leina said grabbing Bell's hand and they party went off to the Dungeon.
"Oh hey, I just remember the Loki Familia is going down the Dungeon too." Risty recalled hearing some words.
"That means Ais and her Familia going probably gonna go deeper than any group has ever done before." Leina guessed, wondering how long it'll be before the Hestia Familia goes deep too.
(With Ottar and Freya)
Freya is seen sitting at her chair as always looking down at the town to one special soul of Bell Cranel as her strongest Adventurer, Ottar enters the room.
"Everything is prepared, Goddess Freya." Ottar reported about the Minotaur he trained.
"Although, it would appear one little adventurer has decided to sneak a peak already." Ottar mentioned.
"Oh, I hope he is about to show me something accelerating." Freya smirked.
"But I am a little disappointed that his first time has already been claimed by that girl, yet at the same time I'm very impressed with her sudden growth just like Bell's." Freya admitted.
"Would you like for me to prepare a stage for Leina Vance as well?" Ottar asked.
"No, at least not yet. I want to focus on how Bell will survive this test of mine." Freya answered.
Then she starts rubbing her legs together with two of her fingers playing onto her pussy area letting out a few moans and her cheeks blushing a little.
"(But it was still a good show, of how those two really let loose! Can't wait to have do that with me!)" Freya thought chuckled.
(9th Floor, Hestia Party)
The Hestia Familia party have just finished walking down the stairs to the 9th Floor though it would appear this floor seems to be quiet, too quiet which gives Leina a worry feeling and Risty finding this to be strange.
Bell stops for a moment looking around getting that feeling of being watch from afar though couldn't tell if it was just his imagination or what.
"Everything okay, Master Bell?" Lili asked.
"You don't feel that, like someone is watching us?" Bell asked looking around again.
"No, but I get it though, this floor is totally giving me the creeps." Lili said.
"And that creep is the silence itself because there aren't any people here, and no monsters in sight either." Risty pointed out.
"Now that you mentioned it, coming down here seems like too easy and we haven't spotted any monsters along the way." Leina stated.
"That is very worry, be on guard for anything." Bell ordered with one hand on his Hestia knife.
The Hestia Familia group continue walking through the floor with their guards up and their weapons ready to attack at any moment, but nothing so far for a minute until they heard a growling sound.
"Did you all hear that?" Leina asked.
"That growl, yeah. Clear as day." Risty nodded.
"I feel like I heard that kind of sound." Bell said with his body shaking a little in fear, the sounds familiar somehow.
"Behind us!" Leina alerted as they quickly turn around.
Coming toward the Hestia party on a strong stomping sound became louder then revealing itself to be a tall and dangerous red Minotaur, and this one is carrying a long sword as this Minotaur is the one Ottar trained to be strong enough to battle Bell in a death all-out battle.
"Okay, looks like we'll be fighting a monster, after all." Leina said.
"Wait, something doesn't feel right about this." Risty stated.
"Yes, why is there a Minotaur on the ninth level?" Lili shocked.
"So, that means there shouldn't be one down there then." Leina guessed.
"That's right, they're only supposed to be in a deeper level yet somehow this one is here and I'm starting to think what happened to the monsters of this floor. Whether they ran away from this Minotaur or they were killed." Risty clutched onto her mace.
"Master Bell, we should get out of here." Lili suggested, but there is no response from Bell.
Lili turns to see Bell looking a little frozen fear with his eyes shaking though staring straight at the Minotaur, Leina notice this and realize that perhaps it has something to do form back before they first met.
"Master Bell, what is wrong with you?" Lili asked trying to snap him out of it.
"I think I know why; it was a little before we met. He was chased by a Minotaur in the Dungeon then was covered in blood and was saved by Ais." Leina explained.
"I see, so seeing a Minotaur again must have brought out a fearsome memory." Risty said understanding this.
"Yes, but I also believe that Bell will have to face his fears sooner than later." Leina believed.
Then the red Minotaur lift its long sword to swing it down at the party group which Risty soon saw this coming and grab onto everyone, moving out of the way before the Minotaur slash down the ground making a big crater and the Hestia group was blow away from the blow.
"Damn, that much strength from one swing." Risty groaned.
It was then Bell finally snap out of his fear realizing this isn't the same Minotaur from before because that one was killed by Ais, but this one is also much stronger than dangerous with that sword.
"Is everyone okay?" Bell asked.
"I appear to be fine." Lili responded.
"Still in one piece which is a good thing." Risty commented.
"We're okay." Leina said looking at the Minotaur that is looking its way to them.
Bell saw this too and fear for the girls' safety that this Minotaur is going to kill them, and he would be too scared to do anything, this would leave a serious bad taste in his mouth and knew there is only one thing he can do.
"You girls get away from here, I'm going to hold that thing off." Bell said as he got up.
"Now hold on, that thing looks more than you can handle! We should let together." Risty stated.
"No, we let Bell fight the Minotaur alone." Leina said shocking Risty and Lili.
"What you out of your mind?!" Risty and Lili yelled.
"Look, I know what I'm saying doesn't make any sense, but I believe this is something Bell has to do in order to truly move forward as an adventurer, to be something more amazing than he already he is." Leina held his hands and look at him in the eyes.
"Leina?" Bell shocked.
"Bell Cranel, you go show that Minotaur who strong your heart is and win!" Leina encouraged and kissed him on the lips.
(Music: You Say Run, My Hero Academia OST)
Bell felt something inside of him raising with power and his heart growing strong with bravery as he looks at Leina with her smile, realizing she is right that this is a battle that he must do on his own and battle the Minotaur as this will be the real start of his adventure. The start to become the hero he always wanted to for his grandpa, his Goddess, his Familia mates, and for himself to walk toward a bright future.
"Okay, I'll do it." Bell nodded.
Bell walks away from his group heading toward the Minotaur as he took out the small blade from his green armbrace and the Hestia Knife from behind his waist.
"(This is it; this is where I will start for real.)" Bell thought determined to face his fear and win.
"Master Bell, please be okay." Lili worried.
"I know it's crazy, and we shouldn't let this happen, but I think Leina might be onto something." Risty said.
"He'll win, I know he will." Leina believed.
The red Minotaur glares at the white-haired human boy coming at him then the boy went to one side and hold out his right hand.
"Firebolt!" Bell unleashed three Firebolt attacks just to make sure to get its full attention.
The Red Minotaur charges through the smoke showing it's not fazed from the attack and threw a punch with the sword; Bell manages to dodge the punch though he got thrown to the wall with his white armor destroyed.
"Oh no, his armor is destroyed!" Lili gasped.
"Which means he won't have any protection." Risty worried.
"(Damn, it hurts so much. But even so… I won't back down!)" Bell thought grinded his teeth.
Bell glares at the Minotaur like sending a message saying that he won't back down and be scared like last time, he won't let fear conquer him any longer.
"I will… BEAT YOU!" Bell yelled as he charges at the Minotaur with his blades ready.
The Red Minotaur roars throwing his sword at Bell only for him to black it with his swords pushing it to his side then do a little spin to slash at the arm and the monster's right side, the Minotaur threw a punch to the head though Bell swoop between the legs and slash at the left leg.
"Firebolt!" Bell blasted at the back forcing the Red Minotaur to bend down a little.
The Red Minotaur turns around swinging its sword against Bell clashing against his two smaller blades as he notices something that it shares with him.
"Hmm, it would appear their speed is about the same." Risty noticed.
"Yes, I see that too. Bell might be able to use that to his advantage along with being smaller than the Minotaur." Leina agreed.
Bell keeps on dodging and parry away the bull monster's attacks trying to find a good opening to strike back, then dodge another downward sword strike and the Red Minotaur threw a small kick which he easily dodges and stab his two blades into that leg though not deep enough consider how tough the Minotaur's skin is.
The Minotaur roars in pain moving its right leg to throw Bell off along with his swords as he rolls onto the ground, he saw the Minotaur jumps at him.
"It's weird, but it feels like this one was trained somehow." Bell muttered to himself.
The Red Minotaur held its sword upside-down to stab the human boy though he rolls out of the way causing another dust cloud from the impact, then Bell charges in letting out a scream landing at least three slashes on the face before pushed away by its strong strike.
Bell recovers fast though only for a brief moment as the Red Minotaur charges in stabbing him in the left arm and destroying the green armbrace armor.
"Oh no, Master Bell!" Lili gasped.
"That Minotaur isn't going to let Bell take a moment of breath." Leina worried.
Bell groans in pain with his arm being stabbed like that, but he tries to stay strong and get himself free though it would seem the Minotaur was already letting him go by throwing him off its horn.
"Well, this is a lot more painful than last time." Bell groaned as he struggles to get up.
"But even so, that is not going to keep me down!" Bell determined to keep fighting to the end.
"That's it, Bell, don't give up!" Leina cheered.
"What are you all doing?" Ais asked as she and few members of her Familia showed up.
"Well, I'll be damn, didn't expect to see the Loki Familia to come here. Shouldn't you guys be on your way down to the lower levels or something?" Risty said a bit surprise.
"We happen to hear about a rampaging Minotaur attacking Adventurers and we wanted to check up on the situation." Fin explained.
"We also heard about someone with white hair being attacked by the Minotaur." Tiona mentioned and look to see Bell.
"Hey, we met him last month at Mamma Mia's restaurant." Tiona recognized.
"Hold on, why are you guys just standing here instead of helping him?" Tione confused.
"Because this is Bell's fight alone, where he will surpass himself." Leina answered without looking away from the fight.
"Seriously, it's still freaky of seeing that tomato kid hanging out with Minotaurs." Bete mocked.
"And I still see your bark makes you weak." Leina mocked back earning a glare from Bete.
"Why don't you take another look." Leina said.
Bete growls though did that looking at Bell fighting the Minotaur and he became shocked of seeing the twirp fighting so well against the Minotaur landing a few hits in.
"Is that guy really a Level one?" Tiona asked surprise.
"Only a month ago. You were very quick to write him off as nothing more than a reckless amateur. Right, Bete?" Finn impressed with Bell's skills.
"What the hell happen to him since then?" Bete wonderd.
"He's been getting stronger, that's what." Leina answered as Ais watch in amazement.
Bell dodges another strike and slashes away at the Minotaur's chest trying to get through its tough skin blocks its sword to move away.
"He's like the Argonaut." Tiona amazed.
"The Argonaut, what's that?" Leina asked.
"It's a legend about a boy who wanted to be a hero." Finn answered.
"I've always liked that story." Tiona said.
Bell and the Red Minotaur charges at each other again with them yelling.
(With Freya)
Freya using her divine eyes to watch the battle between Bell and the Red Minotaur, seeing the white-haired boy going all out is causing her to feel excitingly warm and horny.
"My, such a beautiful sight!" Freya smiled.
(Back with Bell vs Minotaur)
The Minotaur swing its sword down only for Bell to block it with his Hestia Knife.
"That is one tough knife." Bete noticed.
"It was a gift from our Goddess Hestia who asked a favor from the blacksmith Goddess Hephaestus to make that blade to grow stronger along with Bell." Leina explained surprising the Loki Familia.
"Firebolt!" Bell fired three blasts.
"He can do magic without spells?" Tione asked.
"He got that skill after reading a Grimoire without knowing what it was." Leina mentioned.
"For real?" Bete shocked.
Bell charges in to clash with the bigger sword that destroyed his baselard, but he got in close to stab hard on the right arm into the waist and breaking it so that Minotaur won't be able to use its sword anymore. He was going to attack it again though the Red Minotaur threw its other arm forcing Bell to jump away, but he looks at the long sword.
"(Maybe with that, I can get through its skin.)" Bell thought of an idea.
Bell quickly grabs the long sword and start using it to slash at the chest about three times landing some deep cuts, a blood splashes on his eyes though that didn't bother him.
Bell and the Red Minotaur stare at each other for a moment before charging in for the final clash which he held the sword to go against the horn.
"Bad idea." Rivera said.
"Dumbass." Bete agreed.
"Bell, you idiot!" Risty screamed.
"Please, stay calm, everyone." Leina said with her face calm.
"He will win this." Ais believed.
Bell swings down at the horns though the long sword broke, but that was okay because Bell got under and stab his black knife into the skin then unleash a barrage of Firebolts into the body until the Minotaur exploded.
(Music End)
"The kid actually pulled it off." Bete surprised.
"I did it, I did it…" Bell smiled before suddenly going unconscious while still standing.
"Did he just pass out just now?" Tiona asked.
"I think it's Mind Zero." Tione said.
"Hey, what's that kid's stats?" Bete asked Leina.
"Oh, curious about this tomato kid?" Leina asked with a teasing smirk.
"Not that it's any of your business, just want to know what he got." Bete proclaimed.
Leina walks up to Bell's back to see his stats with her eyes widen then change to a proud smile as she turns back to the others.
"It looks like they're all S and just became level two." Leina revealed shocking everyone and Bete just went pale like he seems a ghost.
