My Slayer System: Rise to Supremacy

Chapter 164 The King Tier Beast

the little exploration team were still underground uncovering secrets and potential betrayals in the academy. they managed to make their way through dangerous places, with deadly encounters.

and now, they got to a stone bridge and that was when they tried to cross it. halfway through crossing the bridge, they heard resounding footsteps echoing from the entrance they were heading to.

then coming out of the cave, was a beast that was walking with calculated steps as if it didn't have a care in the world. the way the beast walked, it felt more human than beast.

seeing the beast, after searching through his memory banks for long, it finally clicked in alex's head where he had seen the beast from.

the beast was what was known as a minotaur.

the minotaur stood around 7feet tall, its muscular build rippling beneath bronzed skin. its broad shoulders sloped downward, meeting powerful arms ending in sharp, cloven hooves. curved horns protruded from its bull-like head, accompanied by piercing yellow eyes and sharp teeth.

its physique was a blend of human and bovine anatomy with muscular torso, strong legs and sharp claws. black hair framed its face, complementing its rugged features.

the beast looked part human and part beast. with its upper features almost human like. and in its hands, it was holding onto something which the others couldn't see properly.

seeing the beast, a quest was triggered in jake's head.

{alert: user is not strong enough to defeat this beast}

{quest alert: escape.}

'escape?' jake thought worriedly. 'the system has never given me this type of quest before. has it already analyzed that i'm unable to win this?'

dropping what was in its hands, the minotaur pointed at them and then from its hands, sparks were starting to show. seeing the sparks, jake was shocked as he had seen this type of thing before.

and it was from his sword. it was lightning that was starting to form and the casting time was much faster than his sword.

shooting out of its hands, four lightning bolts shot out at them rapidly in quick succession at the group.

jake dove one side avoiding so did the rest. looking at the beast, jake was now confused about how and why it had elemental abilities.

turning to what he thought could help, jake cast his inspect skill.

but the force of the beast's great strength managed to send alex flying away. alex's intervention gave jake enough time to escape back as he moved away from the beast's grip.

immediately jake moved away, strikes and strikes of wind was now heading towards the beast hitting it on its body but not doing any damage only causing the beast to get angrier by the second.

immediately the strike stopped, geo could be send behind the beast with his hand outwardly striking the beast on its back sending it skidding an inch forward.

then jake cast {step shift} causing him to cross a space of three metres in a second then jake gave the beast an uppercut therefore lifting the beast off its feet from the ground a bit.

before it kicked jake away while coming down. then looking around, the beast saw peter charging at it. it lifted its claws and bolts and bolts of lightning hit peter causing him to be electrocuted and unable to move.

the strikes had a paralysis effect so peter was experiencing that currently as he was unable to move making him experience pains shooting in his body.

quickly, jake had kicked peter away making him crash to the ground and he was no longer shaking but he was now on the floor.

after saving peter, jake dashed forward again towards the beast then he cast two skills from his system at once.

{step shift} and {strength surge}

giving him a ten percent boost in strength. immediately step shift activated, jake was already in front of the beast with a punch that sent the beast skidding more than a few inches as it went back to where it stood earlier even beyond.

jake wanted to give chase but he stumbled on something. checking it, jake could see that it was what the beast had been holding onto earlier.

quickly looking closely, jake could see it was a dead body of a soldier of the academy and in its hand, was a letter. knowing there wasn't much time to check the letter, jake just snatched it off the corpse hand and tucked it in his trousers as he prepared to chase the beast down.

jake looked up and could see the beast had already gotten to his position and swung its claws out therefore hitting jake and sending him go crashing into geo and then, they were back in the middle of the bridge.

alex had managed to stand up and looked at his friends too. even jake managed to stand up but albeit with pains shooting around his body from the impact of that hit.

they looked up worriedly at the beast and that was when they heard footsteps echoing from where the beast had come out from.

"no no no. this is the worst time for another beast to appear." jake mumbled as the footsteps grew louder which caused the beast to also look back at what was coming out.

and finally, the thing that was coming finally came in view.
