RE:BORN Zombie

Finding a minotaur really isn’t easy. Victor had been going around for a while now, and all he had encountered were black lycans.

“Shouldn’t there be at least more than two monsters in this floor? There should at least be something on the same level as a minotaur or close.” Victor exclaimed.

The current floor he was on would be the biggest yet in Victor’s opinion. He had been running around for some time now, and still hadn’t seen any sign of the end. It was really a big disadvantage that the map device only displayed maps of floor 39 and below. If he had the map of this place, it would have made things much easier.

After running about for about 20 minutes, Victor finally encountered another minotaur, as he caught sight of it from afar. After looking for the minotaur for so long, he wasn’t going to waste much time fighting it, so he used his skills. This one was stronger than the two he faced before, as it was a bit higher in level.

[Minotaur Level 90]

The minotaur was no easy target, so killing it wasn’t as easy as it sounded on paper. Unlike the other minotaur Victor faced earlier, this one didn’t use a weapon. If Victor’s intuition was right, it meant this one used it’s fists to fight, and this would also mean it was harder to deal with. Hoping nothing unexpected came up, He would just be able to deal with this monster._.

Just like the minotaur, Victor was a close combat fighter, so the fact that he had to get up close to be able to attack was going to be a problem since his opponent was also a close combat fighter. Plus, if anything, this one’s skin would be tougher since it is something of a martial artist or maybe a monk. (As in profession or Class).

Without stopping, Victor increased his speed and in mere seconds he had gotten within 3 metres of the monster’s space. A quick twist of the body enabled Victor to throw a strong kick towards the minotaur’s mid section, but sure enough, it was able to block the attack, and even launch a counter.

Boom!

The monster’s fist banged into the ground as Victor just managed to dodge by inches. This minotaur would be way harder to deal with Victor could see. It’s attacks were almost twice as fast as the previous one, and the power behind it’s attacks was very much present. If Victor didn’t shift his body out of the way the moment he struck the minotaur in anticipation that it would counter, his body might have been the one that met with the monster’s fist.

This fight was going to be very disadvantageous for Victor, if he didn’t have a surprise stashed up within him. After avoiding the punch and shifting his body to the side, Victor gained a firm foothold on the ground and putting everything into his right fist, he sent one flying right into the monster’s shin bone.

Victor’s punch didn’t send the monster flying, but it couldn’t be said that nothing happened to it. The bone was completely shattered, and caused the minotaur to fall backwards immediately. At least, Victor had provided an advantage for himself, as even if this one was to enter it’s rage mode and activate a berserker skill, it still wouldn’t be able to move well.

While Victor thought he now had a bit of an advantage, the minotaur completely surprised him. Right before Victor’s eyes, the minotaur’s leg began healing, and in less than 3 seconds the shattered bone fixed itself and the monster was back on its feet.

‘Shit. So this one’s berserker mode is replaced with a hack healing ability.’

“No shit, huh?” Victor said, as he repositioned himself and took a firm stance.

The minotaur stood up slowly as if it was sure Victor would wait for it to stand without attacking, and sure enough, that was what Victor did. If there was one thing Victor knew, it was to never follow the rule of waiting for the enemy to transform, but this time he had a valid reason. He wasn’t about to attack a monster whose body was behaving weirdly.

As the minotaur got back its feet, its entire body was rumbling, and noticeable waves coursed throughout its skin. This was the same with when the first minotaur was entering berserker mode, but this one seemed a bit different. For one, there was no red energy formed, and its eyes weren’t bloodshot.

After it stood up properly, Victor noticed that its size had increased a bit, as its muscles had bulged up all over.

“Physical enhancement? Probably.” Victor said after observing the changes the minotaur showed.

As if the insane regenerative ability wasn’t bad enough, now he had to face the monster that he would struggle with normally after it’s physique had been enhanced. The worst thing that could happen just showed itself.

Seeing how everything was playing out, Victor could think of only one thing that he would be able to use. Now for his plan, he just had to wait for the monster to attack.

Sure enough, it took no longer than a few seconds of both parties staring at each other before the minotaur bore its feet into the ground and propelled itself towards Victor with fearsome speed. In one second, the minotaur that stood several metres away from Victor had gotten a couple metres before him.

‘Negative burst.’ Victor said in his mind, activating his skill.

As Victor thought, if he was then this skill might not deal much damage to the level 90 minotaur, as it would definitely have a high resistance to magic attacks. But, this wasn’t a game, and there was no way to tell how much his attacks affected his opponent.

Following that, Victor began shifting his body out of the way, so that by the he would at least avoid a direct hit. This was also the time to expose his surprise.

Lucky enough for Victor, he just managed to dodge the minotaur’s attack, but he was still hit a little bit while mid air, and it destabilized him as he was almost sent tumbling. Even with this, Victor didn’t dare open his mouth and disorganize himself.

While he was just beside the minotaur as it was passing him by, out of thin air a great axe appeared in his hand. The minotaur saw the axe, but by that time it was already too late to avoid it. But, this was not worthy of being a threat at all. All the axe would do was cause flesh wound.

Using the same motion just before Victor started spinning from the brush with the minotaur earlier, Victor took out the axe while he was facing the dungeon’s ceiling, and by the time he had completed his first spin, he dug his axe deep into the minotaur’s back, and it carved a big and deep wound on the minotaur’s back.

As soon as Victor’s feet touched the wall by the side, he blasted off it straight towards the minotaur, and while the minotaur had stopped and swung its hand towards Victor, he managed to dodge the monster’s arm and got behind it. As Victor checked the monster’s back, he could still see the wound he caused just now close to the minotaur’s shoulder starting to close.

In one jump, he got to the minotaur’s back right where the injury was and dug his hands into the open flesh to gain a strong hold. Before the minotaur could even react and try to shake him off, Victor spat the mouthful of spit into the wound and jumped off.

‘Let’s see. Your regeneration and my rot, which is stronger.’
