Chapter 32 - Joren Versus Minos
When Joren slapped Minos, every ghost's pair of eyes widened just like how Jack did.
"..."
Minos then just realized the situation and rolled his eyes towards Joren. This person just slapped him, didn't he?
What's with that fearless look?
Minos' eyes turned red as he fumed from anger. He pointed at himself and asked.
"Did you just slap me?"
"Okay, that's enough."
[Mission: Win the battle against Minos, the Minotaur.
Time: One Day
Reward: 2 instant level up, +10 all stats except Thugness]
Joren gulped at the notification window. Isn't that too good to be true? But looking at this gigantic minotaur, it would be unfair if the reward for defeating this monster is small.
Therefore, since Minos seems to have immense pride, Joren had to do what he had to do.
"Heh, what are you going to do, pussy?"
The last word was not expected but it naturally came out of Joren's mouth.
"P-pussy?"
Minos shook his head in shock.
"Are you calling me a cat!?"
He leaned forward as his eyes became redder than before. Since the situation escalated so fast, Jack stepped in for the rescue.
"Stop!"
Jack shouted and corrected.
"By pussy, Joren meant that you're like a woman's reproductive system!"
"..."
Minos finally understood what Joren was trying to say after Jack's clarification.
"Are you not just calling me a cat but you're also calling me stupid for not knowing what a repodaktib sisem!?"
"I don't think you understand that either."
Joren sweated a little as this bull was getting pretty pissed off by the one word he just said.
"I'll beat you up!"
Minos charged forward with his horns at the front.
When Jack was about to stop him, Joren raised his hand and said-
"I got this."
Jack stopped and just watched, remembering that Joren has now become a lesser undead so there are no real consequences, right?
'Maybe getting beaten up by a minotaur will put some sense in him.'
Jack knew how strong the minotaurs are, however, compared them to the Gods that Joren was preparing to face, the gap was too immense for them to be compared. If Joren gets beat up by a minotaur then he should be able to realize how stupid his idea is, right?
Joren ran away the moment Minos charged forward. However, Minos was unexpectedly fast even with his body size. Therefore, Joren had to make sharp turns to evade Minos' every charge.
School 1-5-3 was disturbed as explosions could be heard. Minos has broken walls after walls since Joren was too agile for him.
"Okay... so how should I defeat this monster?"
Joren huffed as he was in the middle of his public 'rigorous training' therefore, he wasn't exactly at his peak.
He was not very confident in overpowering this minotaur. If Joren were to face Minos head on, he would surely die at least three times. Furthermore, it's not like he's completely immortal. He learned that if he were to be brutally damaged before he gets any rest, he might not recover. That's why he needed Virena's drop of blood back then.
Surrounding School 1-5-3 was just plain woods and mud. Joren found that this was giving him an advantage.
Minos was tirelessly charging towards Joren at the school yard. His every stomp would make the earth shake while his horns could pierce thick trees.
"Stop dodging!"
"Why would I, are you stupid!?"
Joren replied as he tumbled to the side again. He was thinking about how he could defeat Minos without leaving any permanent damage. He's doing this for the sake of the mission but since Minos was actually trying to kill him, Joren decided not to hold back.
"You called me stupid again!"
Minos galloped around to point his horns toward Joren once again. He was getting angrier each time Joren would tumble to the side.
"This dumb minotaur doesn't seem to be getting tired."
"Hey...!"
At that moment a handsome man came running to stop the fight. Joren knew who this was. It was the brainless zombie that he helped the other day!
"You, be careful!"
Joren shouted when he said that the zombie kept running towards Minos' path.
However, the zombie just spread his arm and angrily looked at Minos.
"You... protect."
The zombie muttered as he put his arms forward. Joren stopped and was curious at how strong this zombie is too, seeing how confident he is even though Minos' power could already be seen clearly.
Joren was hopeful and grateful as he watched how this zombie will stop Minos.
"Grr..." the zombie readied himself.
Minos was approaching and in the next second, the two collided!
Joren's jaw dropped.
Like a fragile wooden cutout, the zombie didn't even decrease Minos' speed one bit. His body parts were thrown away as if they were bowling pins hit by the bowling ball.
"You...!"
Joren muttered before he gritted his teeth.
[Bulletproof Will.]
[Sagging Pants.]
"Kyahh!!"
Jack covered his eyes but since he didn't have any fingers to peek at the gap between, he just gave up and 'observed carefully'
"You fucking bull, you're going too far!"
Joren shouted as he raised both fists into something like a hammer and when Minos was a few meters away from his, he dropped it, meeting Minos' head.
Bam*
It is solidly connected but Joren felt like he's hitting a boulder instead of a living being. However, it didn't stop him from putting in all the force he got.
"Argh!"
However, before he could push Minos down, one of the horns impaled him onto the tree.
"Mister...!"
The head of the zombie that was on the ground shouted.
Jack saw this and his face twitched. Anyone in that situation would feel fear towards the minotaur. Surely, this is more than enough to teach Joren about how weak he is right?
"Boo...~"
The ghosts and the teacher ghosts are watching the scene, unable to do anything.
"Are you strong now?!"
Minos shouted in mockery as he looked up. But at the next moment, he felt something grab his horn that impaled Joren.
"Stronger than you."
A harrowing voice could be heard from Joren as Minos saw a face that even terrified an idiot like him. Minos tried to pull his horns away but found that it was hard. He looked at saw that Joren's limbs were hugging the tree on his back while his right hand was tightly grabbed onto his horn.
"Let go!"
Even with his enormous strength, Minos failed to pull his horn. He was charging forward with all he got earlier, gaining momentum. When his horn impaled Joren, it also impaled the tree. Since the Minos impaled the tree with a charging momentum, he would need more power to pull it back. He could remove it after a bit more effort, however, the fact that Joren was holding his horn disabled him to do so.
Since Minos got his horn stuck on the tree with Joren's help, the latter removed his left hand from gripping the tree.
This becomes a chance for Minos which he desperately tried to remove his horn now that Joren's no longer has that much grip around the tree.
The tree itself was slightly tilting from how much Minos pull, however, there's a reason why Joren let go of his left hand.
Bam*
"Argh..."
Minos groaned when Joren mercilessly hit him on the face. However, it was just the start.
Bam* Bam* Bam*
Joren didn't stop and when Minos finally removed his horn, he was already dizzy from all the beating. Joren is still stronger compared to normal humans even when he is a lesser undead.
Although Virena was holding by a lot back then, Joren still defeated her in an arm wrestle!
But since Minos' horn was removed, the blood finally began to pour down from the hole that was created in the middle of Joren's stomach. He could feel excruciating pain from it.
'Shit! I think I'm going to faint!'
Joren thought but that made him pull his pants up and move forward. He had to defeat Minos first before he can fall down!
Therefore, he ran forward with his fists ready. Minos flinched a little, remembering the pummeling he got from Joren.
But when Joren got finally closer, Minos stood up and was shocked.
"Gah, I forgot I can stand- ack!"
While Minos was speaking, Joren gave him a heavy punch on the stomach. Even by instincts, Minos seemed to be lacking.
Of course, Joren didn't let go of this opportunity and dropped his pants again to- bam!*
Joren's punch pack a force again. Minos tried to swing his arm but because of the dizziness he felt earlier, that just made him out of balance.
This even made Joren tilt his head before he counter Minos' fall with an uppercut.
Receiving the fist solidly to his jaw, Minos' eyes immediately rolled upwards as he dropped onto the ground, unconscious.
Joren huffed but he put his pants up first before falling to his knees and holding the wound on his stomach which slowly heals up.
