The appearance of the fifteen meters tall minotaur appalled Julius and every person present around the plaza because the difference in strength between a level 4 monster and a level 6 was like heaven and earth.

After all, some books said that a level 6 monster could destroy a country by itself if left alone and even a fool could understand that the minotaur was a walking calamity just by looking at it.

Furthermore, a crowd of level 4 monsters which consisted of a group of wolves, goblins, and also huge snakes followed it.

"Evacuate this place!!" Julius shouted with all of his might and waved his hand to order all of the civilians to run away.

Without taking into account the other monster, the minotaur alone was a very tough opponent since it could control darkness one of the primordial elements, and also because consideration of their body consisted of primordial particles.

Moreover, dark particles could absorb the other particles in the area and because of that, a black miasma coming from the minotaur began to spread around the plaza. free(w)ebnovel

"Ruuun!"

Someone shouted in despair and soon chaos engulfed the whole area once again.

Even Brad, Gelio, and Sylvestre who were planning to leave and perform their tasks returned near Julius as fast as possible.

"Roaaarrrrr!"

The minotaur's roar made the ground quiver violently and those who were weak instantly passed out due to the ominous sound.

"Protect the Lords!"

At that moment, thousands of soldiers arrived because Gordon called them over a few moments before Adam eliminated the level 4 monsters by himself.

But even for these thousands of soldiers along with the Royal Knights and the Shadow corp, a monster that could use darkness elemental power at such a level was a tough opponent because more than two level 8 gift holders were needed during the subjugation of high-level monsters if the task needed to be taken care of quickly and with minimum casualties.

Only a high-level Lord from the Empire could send such people and Julius, a Level 5 lord, was already lucky enough to have multiple level 7 gift holders under him.

Boom, boom, boom!

The minotaur hit the ground with its giant war hammer as if it was annoyed by the flies that appeared around him.

The attack created a huge shockwave that sent hundreds of soldiers flying and crashing into the walls and the ground.

"Roaaaarr!"

It didn't care about the things that it crushed with its hammer, monsters, or people, and just destroyed everything around it, showing off its strength and asserting its dominance.

"Roooar!"

Seeing people running and walking, it got more aggravated and threw the huge debris that fell on the ground at them.

"Protect the civilians!"

"Use your power to defend against its attack!"

The people like Sylvestre, Brad, and the other commander issued orders to attack and defend.

"Now focus your attack on its head!"

They tried to defend against the monsters' attack and also fight back with everything they had but the situation wasn't looking good.

The efficiency, the destructive power, and the accuracy of their attacks were greatly reduced because of the minotaur's power and its area of effect.

Moreover, the minotaur didn't even need to use an elemental attack because its brute strength alone was already phenomenal and with the darkness elemental power added to that, some soldiers couldn't even use their power to protect themselves and were crushed like mere bugs.

"This isn't good!" Sylvester stated the obvious with a pale face after he witnessed what was happening.

The wolves and goblins were one thing but this minotaur, he was sure that his attack wouldn't inflict any damage to it because he felt that his power and mobility were reduced when he was near the minotaur.

Sylvestre wasn't the only one who was horrified by the minotaur's level of strength because among the people that were present there, even Brad who was a darkness elemental gift holder couldn't come closer to the monster, knowing that he will be reduced to a mist of his blood if he did.

"Roaarrr!"

The minotaur continued its onslaught and the soldiers tried their best to slow it down but their efforts were in vain.

Boom! Boom!

Cannons that used the power of mana stone were used to attack the minotaur but the black miasma that surrounded it greatly reduced the destructive power of the impact.

"This can't be happening!"

"What the hell is this? We are dead!!"

"R-run… I am out of here! I don't want to die!"

Some of the soldiers began to feel an intense fear creeping up inside of them and there were even those who chickened out and ran away from the battlefield, knowing that they wouldn't make it out alive if they stayed.

*****

In the middle of this turmoil, a man walked forward.

"Marcel…?"

Garcia muttered, looking at Marcel who walked toward the minotaur but she quickly understood what he was about to do.

Marcel put his hand together in front of his chest as if he was praying then widened the gap between them and a ball of light appeared, taking the shape of a cross.

Then he raised his hands in the air and the beam of light which had the form of a cross floated above him and absorbed more light particles in the surrounding until it so grew so large and almost reached the size of the minotaur.

"..."

Exhaustion began to appear on Marcel's face but he didn't utter a word. The creation of this enormous cross of light took a toll on him.

After that, Marcel waved his hand towards the minotaur and the cross of light instantly moved forward at a speed that didn't match its size and hit the minotaur who was a little farther from him in the chest, creating a huge blinding explosion.

Boom!

The minotaur was pushed back and fell backward.

It lost its balance and the huge war hammer didn't help.

"Graaaaaah!"

It seemed like Marcel's attack was able to inflict significant damage to the minotaur, unlike the soldiers' attack.

After seeing this the soldiers who were trying to slow down the minotaur stood surprised.

"Who is that person?"

"Such a powerful attack."

"Is he a member of the Holy Church?"

The appearance of such a powerful ally was fortunate considering the circumstances.

"Oooooh!!"

They cheered, despite their curiosity about their identity of Marcel.

Marcel's attack was epic, and he managed to take down such a monster with a single hit.

"We can do this!"

"Finish it when it is still down!"

The cheers of the soldiers engulfed the whole plaza and the demoralizing atmosphere improved a bit.

The soldiers began to eliminate the level 4 monsters and held their positions, believing that with Marcel around, they could manage to eliminate the minotaur.

But little did these soldiers know that Marcel had already used most of his stamina because the light elemental particles in the area were also affected by the monster's power so it was hard to generate such a large-scale attack.

Marcel was not a level 8 level gift holder yet and the minotaur's power was the worst match-up with his light element so he lacked the power to make decisive attacks while fighting this kind of opponent.

That was why, if his last attack didn't work then the situation will take a nasty turn.

And Marcel's fear was confirmed when the monsters roared yet again but this time in a more enraged tone.

"Roaaaaaaaarrrr!"

The minotaur put its strength in his hands and legs then stood back on his feet ground and picked up his war hammer which fell from his hand.

The soldiers' faces turned white again when they realized that the minotaur didn't take that much damage.

They clenched their teeth and held their weapons tightly, knowing that the rampage was about to continue.

As if looking at Marcel, the minotaur pointed his war Hammer toward the direction where he stood because the minotaur was not against the idea of fighting a strong opponent.

After all, the world of monsters was ruled by the strong, and fighting was like a pass time for them.

"Roar!"

Then, the minotaur began to run forward in the direction that he pointed with his hammer.

'This is bad…' Gracia thought after seeing the giant monster running in her direction.

Marie was affected by the venom of the wolf monsters that bit her and if she wasn't healed completely without delay, the venom and her blood loss could kill a giftless person like her in a matter of minutes.

It was a miracle that a person like Gracia was present there when the disaster occurred and the healing process was very delicate because Gracia had to restore Marie's damaged organs and also expulse the venom from her body completely, so if she was interrupted even a minute, the venom would have reached Marie's heart.

Julius stood in front of Marie and Gracia but he couldn't do anything much about the situation.

A miracle had already happened so there was a slim chance for a second to occur.
