The Forbidden Magic Laws of a Fallen Princess

However, while this attack wasn't a particularly serious injury for him, it was a major breakthrough for me, because I had mastered the technique, and what followed wouldn't be as simple as just cutting open his abdomen.

Chapter Nineteen: The All-Out Showdown with King Minotaur (Part Two)

"Ivy is amazing..."

At this moment, Lila seemed to be stunned, staring intently at me.

"Sister Ivy, I didn't expect you to have such a hidden trick up your sleeve. I'm quite impressed with you."

Seeing how easily I handled the situation, Mi'er exclaimed with great excitement.

"Well...it's okay."

Honestly, I really want to proudly say that I am that amazing, and then show a smug expression.

However, as the saying goes, pride comes before a fall, so no matter what, I absolutely cannot show my arrogant side.

Because, in any case, I have to completely defeat the enemy before I can show my proud and confident side.

As expected, the Minotaur king, whose abdomen I had cut open, immediately unleashed an astonishing killing intent.

Yes, it was angry.

Just like a super duck racer, its body burst forth with a powerful stream of light, like flames, and then a powerful shockwave erupted directly from the inside out.

In an instant, I felt like a helium balloon that had been released from its grip, taking off and landing on a pillar of a load-bearing wall not far away.

Lila and Mia were also blown away by the powerful shockwave.

Honestly, this is the first time I've ever seen someone with such an overbearing aura.

Fortunately, I was wearing thick clothes, which, although it affected my movement a bit, meant I didn't feel much pain when I was stuck to the pillar of the load-bearing wall.

In that case, I can still continue fighting.

However, I'm going to start fighting in a different way.

"Sister Ivy, is there any chance of winning...?"

At this moment, the pomelo seemed unaffected by the shockwave and suddenly appeared in front of me.

"It's alright... but it seems that the Minotaur king has become three or four times stronger, so it looks like it will be difficult to defeat him."

Indeed, even if I were to unleash my full power now, I might not be its match.

Wait... I seem to have forgotten something else.

I've already mastered that ultimate move, so why don't I unleash it and fight it? I might even win.

At that moment, I quickly closed my eyes, began to gather the sword energy within my body, and then prepared to launch a new round of attacks.

Gradually, I could feel a light, floating aura rising around my body and on the blade of the sword. This was actually my sword aura successfully condensed.

Then, I heard huge, rumbling footsteps that shook the ground.

In an instant, I knew that King Minotaur was charging toward me at incredible speed.

Despite its large size, its speed is surprisingly fast.

Only when it came to me did my sword energy completely condense.

"Ivy!"

At this moment, Lila called out to me with some concern.

Honestly, facing a Minotaur king who was three or four times stronger, it was considered impossible for anyone to withstand its attack.

But things are different now. I want to see just how strong I am now, since I possess the aura of swordsmanship and have the added boost of the Berserk Blood Technique that Wenya has always insisted on.

Actually, during the warm-up just now, I felt that my previously dormant magic and physical strength had begun to recover. Although it wasn't 100% recovered, it was at least about 80% recovered, so it seems there's still hope.

At this moment, King Minotaur was breathing out hot, angry air from his nose, and now he was even willing to chat with me.

Since that's the case, I won't waste my breath on it, I'll just get to work!

I was no longer passive, so I quickly quickened my pace and ran forward, raising the Aurora Blade in my hand and slashing down.

However, the Minotaur king was much more agile than before, and surprisingly, he dodged my attack.

This really surprised me, because it shouldn't be able to be that agile.

Then it raised its giant axe, which was burning with red energy, and swung it down at me quickly.

Since that's the case, then I'll have to test whether my sword energy can withstand your attack.

In an instant, I raised the Aurora Blade in my hand high above my head, and then used one hand to block the blade, intending to block his attack directly.

Then I heard a loud "bang," which almost deafened me.

Then I was smashed into a hole about ten centimeters deep, and my hands went numb instantly.

However, it's also thanks to my legendary treasure, the Aurora Blade, that it's so sturdy.

Otherwise, not only the sword, but I would have been cleaved in two.

"This...it actually blocked it."

Even Roel seemed somewhat incredulous, for he hadn't expected to actually withstand the full force of the Minotaur King, who lived by brute strength and was the strongest minotaur in legend.

But now I've remembered this perfectly: I absolutely cannot take it head-on; I can only use skill to hit it.

Because the feeling was just too unbearable. If I were to catch it again, my hand bones might even be broken.

"Next."

I quickly shook the Aurora Blade in my hand, actually to relieve the numbness in my arm and to relax myself.

Because I could sense that my true strength was definitely no weaker than its.

Actually, I was unleashing sword energy within me, and Wenya, who was already exhausted, was continuing to enhance my Blood Frenzy Technique. If this continued, Wenya was very likely to collapse from exhaustion.

In that case, I need to act quickly and decisively. I must defeat the Minotaur King before Wenya's magic runs out. Otherwise, once her Bloodlust spell is gone, I will have virtually no chance of defeating her.

And so, I raised the Aurora Blade high in my hand.

"Blade of Annihilation!"

Seriously, this is my ultimate move. I don't want to hide it anymore. Since I have some amazing tricks up my sleeve, I might as well use them all. Every moment and every second is precious to me right now.

Suddenly, I thought of a solution.

Since it is so strong in close combat, how good is its ranged combat ability?

Instantly, a wicked and terrifying smile crept onto my face.

That's right, I can use the Flame Annihilation Blade to directly unleash the Flame Blade Slash.

Anyway, the Minotaur King can't hit me, but I can hit him, and I use very little magic power.

Without saying a word, I forcefully drew a cross in the air and unleashed a massive fiery cross slash at King Minotaur.

Chapter Twenty: Consecutive Crimson Flame Cross Slashes

"A mere Flame Slash."

When King Minotaur saw the ranged attack I unleashed, he was initially surprised and then disheartened.

Then, instinctively, it raised its golden giant axe and used all its strength to strike the flaming blades that my Blade of Annihilation had unleashed.

However, while one strike might not be too difficult for the King of the Minotaur to withstand, the combined power of two fiery slashes forming a cross is far more than just twice the power.

Actually, I learned this special move by accident... Because I haven't used the Flame Annihilation Blade for a long time, I had almost forgotten about it.

Since that's the case, let's take this Minotaur King as an example and see how many blows it can withstand.

However, this special move is a long-range attack, and it would be very difficult for the Minotaur king to get close to me. So, in that case, I can keep using it without any problem.

Because the magic power and stamina consumed are not actually that much, it's just that the sword energy consumes a little more of one's own energy and stamina. But for me now, I should be able to last for twenty minutes without any problem. It's just that I don't know if Wenya can last for twenty minutes.

Wen Ya's originally pale face was now slightly white, which did make her look rather pitiful.

In fact, Wenya knew that if I lost, all of them would likely die here. So no matter what, I had to use my last bit of magic to ensure that I could perform at my best.

She must have worked so hard.

At that moment, the fiery blade of the cross slashed directly at the King of the Minotaur, and then a crisp "clang" was heard.

The Minotaur King did indeed block the attack with his golden axe, but the recoil from the two cross-shaped fiery blades was extremely strong. Combined with the effect of the Flame Annihilation Blade's flames, the Minotaur King was knocked back several centimeters, much like the powerful recoil from a gunshot. His massive body then leaned backward, and it looked as if he would have been knocked down if the force had been slightly greater.

The funniest part was that the residual fire residue left behind after it blocked the flames actually ignited its fur, and it even seemed to burn it.

Without saying a word, the king of the Minotaur destroyed it.

Honestly, this makes me think that this tactic might be interesting to use against it.

It's clear that this trick is quite effective.

Since we haven't been able to defeat them yet, let's continue.

After that, I waved the flaming cross blade in the air several more times.

Perhaps it was because I was becoming more and more proficient at using the Cross Flame Blade technique, but I never expected that after I used a special move, I could immediately use a second one as if there was no cooldown.

Hehe, this is making me feel more and more satisfied.
