The Black Minotaur stood up, and this action finally made Pei realise why it reminded her of Moloch. More accurately speaking, it had reminded her of Moloch's man puppet. Like the Minotaur Lord, Pei believed that her opponent must also have been reduced from their former self into a set of pauldrons who were now controlling that Black Minotaur like a puppet.
"Is that why they are in a state of limbo? Unable to find their master and having doubts about serving the new one?" Pei wondered to herself as she readied her weapon. There should be no need to pull punches for she knew that delaying time here would only cause more problems.
Besides, killing them should allow the Black Minotaur to reunite with Moloch, and he could explain the situation from there. No use babbling at an enemy who refused to listen.
