Chapter 22 - Labyrinth - D

Adam ran in the middle of the tunnel while staring towards a right corner that was at the end of the tunnel a couple of meters in front of him "I haven't heard the Minotaur screams in a while now, Did it went and chase another contestant?"

"I hope that Minotaur didn't break my hammer I probably need that to kill it." Adam thought to himself as he slightly leaned his body towards his right and turned the corner of the tunnel.

"Where is that giant monster-" Adam instantly stopped and jumped back towards the tunnel that he just came out from as he saw a large black fist came flying towards him that hits the corner of the tunnel chipping some of it and sent debris towards Adam as he puts both of his hand in front of him.

"That was close," Adam said as he slides back on his legs and saw the Minotaur peeked out from the corner who was brushing his hand that was covered with debris of stone from the part of the wall that he punched.

The Minotaur stands tall while staring at Adam and instantly screamed towards Adam, it shook its head a couple of times while sliding its right goat leg to his back couple of times.

GROOOOOOO! The Minotaur screamed one more time as it charged towards Adam who instantly ran towards it, Adam took a deep breath while he ran towards the Minotaur who slowly bends his head downwards.

As the Minotaur was about to dive his head towards Adam, Adam dropped down to the ground and slides through the ground between the two Minotaur's legs as it jumped forwards and slammed its head to where Adam was.

Adam got up to his feet and saw his hammer laying on the ground a couple of meters away from him, he ran towards his hammer leaving the Minotaur who slowly stands up while brushing its head.

"Luckily that works." Adam thought to himself as he jumped over a couple of contestants corpses that was laying on the ground, he grabbed his hammer from the ground with hai right hand and stopped as he turned around towards the Minotaur who walked out from the corner.

The Minotaur stopped right in the middle of the tunnel and stared towards Adam who was holding his hammer with both of his hands with the tip of the hammer on his right side.

GROOOOOOO! The Minotaur screamed one more as it ran as fast as it can towards Adam who smiled and ran towards the Minotaur, the Minotaur clenched it's right fist and swung it downwards towards Adam who was just a couple of meters in front of it.

Adam pushed the left side of his body to his back and dodged the Minotaur's fist, he stopped right beside the Minotaur's fist that was still moving and bend his knees while staring towards the Minotaur. Adam jumped as high as he can while swinging his hammer from his right side to the top of his head, Adam stared towards the Minotaur as he was right in front of its face and swung his hammer as hard as he can towards the middle of the Minotaur's forehead.

The Minotaur instantly fell to the ground and broke most of the tunnel ground as it fell on top of it, Adam landed on top of the Minotaur's head and starts to hit the Minotaur's forehead as hard as he can with his hammer for a couple of times.

"His skin feels really tough I hope my knife can cut into this." Adam thought to himself as he puts down his hammer to his right aide and reached his right hand to his back, he pulled out his Bowie knife while he kneeled on the top of the Minotaur's head who was still laying down on the ground.

Adam swung his Bowie knife from the top of his head to a part of the Minotaur's forehead head as hard as he can and the blade of his Bowie knife instantly snapped as it reached the Minotaur's skin without leaving any mark.

"Oh no, how do I cut his skin?" Adam asked as the Minotaur slowly stands up throwing Adam to its back, Adam landed on his feet and grabbed the hammer that flew towards him with his right hand while looking towards the Minotaur who slowly stands up while rubbing the middle of its forehead.

"Alice, can you help me here? How do I kill the Minotaur? My blade snapped when I tried to cut his skin." Adam asked while looking towards the Minotaur who stands up while rubbing its forehead.

"Give me a minute Lion let me look this up right now," Alice said while Adam watches the Minotaur who was still rubbing its head with both of its hand, Adam holds his hammer with both of his hands as the Minotaur puts down both of its hands to its sides while staring towards him.

GROOOOOOOO! The Minotaur screamed towards Adam as loud as it can and quickly threw its clenched right fist towards Adam, Adam instantly jumped backward avoiding the Minotaur's large fist which hits the ground in front of him instantly break a large part of the tunnel and blew a strong wind that threw Adam a couple of meters back "Have you found it yet Alice?"

"Yes I got it, there's a special sword that is called the Blood of The Kings, and it's stored in the Minotaur's room and according to this file, that sword is the only thing that can cut his skin," Alice explained as Adam jumped backward and avoided a couple of punches that the Minotaur threw toward him.

"You have to make the Minotaur return to its room, it says here that if he went unconscious he will return to his room when he woke up," Alice added as Adam jumped backward and smile toward the Minotaur.

"Okay thank you, Alice I got an idea now." Adam smiled as he tightens his grip on his hammer while pulling it to his back and threw the hammer towards the Minotaur who was running towards him, the hammer flew and hits in the middle of the Minotaur's forehead.

"COME AT ME BIG BASTARD!" Adam shouted towards the Minotaur who catches Adam's hammer and threw it to its right side, the Minotaur screamed and charge towards Adam who was running towards it.

Adam slides between the Minotaur's legs as it jumped towards him and quickly ran as fast as he can towards the end of the tunnel which was a couple of meters in front of him.

Adam ran as fast as he can while occasionally looked back towards the Minotaur who was just a couple of meters behind him chasing him, he ran towards the end of the hallway and as he was about to run to the wall he jumped to his left and rolled to the tunnel that was on his left while holding the back of his head with both of his hand.

The Minotaur tried to turn its gigantic body towards Adam but it failed and ran into the wall breaking the entire wall, the Minotaur puts both of its hand to its sides and tried to push its body upwards from the large pile of debris that was on top of it but as its head was about to come out from the pile a large chunk of the roof fell and landed right on top of its head as it stopped moving.

Adam looked towards the Minotaur who has its head under the rubble and slowly stands up, he walked towards a large rubble of stone that was a couple of meters away from him and hides behind it "It should be unconscious now, let's play the waiting game then."

Ten minutes passed by and the Minotaur's left hand slowly moved which alerted Adam who was leaning against the large rubble, Adam peeked his head around the corner of the rubble and saw the Minotaur slowly stand up from the rubble.

The Minotaur shook its head as it stands up throwing debris around the tunnel as Adam returned to the back of the large rubble, Adam felt the floor that was shaking as the Minotaur walks away and peeked out from the rubble.

"Okay, here we go time to follow that monster back to its room." Adam stands up and walked back to the edge of the corner, he peeked out from it and saw the Minotaur walking through the tunnel while rubbing the back of its head.
