Chapter 24 - Labyrinth - F

With his body covered in blue lighting, Adam ran past the Minotaur in a couple of seconds while staring towards the throne that was a couple of meters away from him leaving the Minotaur who still has its club on the ground.

In just a couple of seconds Adam arrived right in front of the large throne and quickly jumped towards the top of the throne, he landed on the slanted top of the throne and looked towards the Blood of The Kings sword which was stuck on the wall while the Minotaur raised its club and stared towards the large crack on the ground that it made.

Adam grabbed the sword's handle with both of his hands and pulled it as hard as he can which quickly broke the two hooks that was holding the sword, the hooks flew from the wall as Adam turned around towards the Minotaur while holding the Blood of The Kings sword with both of his hands.

Adam looked towards the Minotaur who was slowly walking towards the large crack that was on the ground while holding its club with its right hand, Adam took a deep breath as he slowly pulled the sword to his right side which he was holding with both of his hands while bending his left leg forwards and pulled his right leg backward. The lighting that was surrounding his body suddenly turned brighter as Adam dashed from the top of the throne leaving a long trail of blue lightning behind him.

BAAM! The Minotaur turned around as it heard a loud explosion-like sound from its back and saw Adam who was covered in blue lighting right in front of him. The Minotaur gritted its teeth while tightening the grip of its right hand while Adam swung his sword sideways from his right side to his left side.

In one giant swing, Adam instantly cuts trough the Minotaur's large and thick neck and landed on the ground a couple of meters away from the Minotaur's body which slowly fell to the ground on its back, the head of the Minotaur flew up into the air for a couple of second and landed a couple of meters behind Adam.

The Minotaur head slowly rolled towards Adam while the blue lighting that was surrounding him slowly fades away and his watch rang for a couple of times as Adam exhaled.

"ARGH!" Adam screamed as he fell to the ground and kneeled on his left knee while stabbing the sword that he was holding with his right hand to the ground holding his entire body up, Adam reached his left hand to the middle of his chest and hold it as hard as he can.

"Argh, that hurts so much! I must be close to the drug time limit, I have to get out from here as fast as I can." Adam said as he slowly stands up to his feet as the pain in his chest went away and pulled the sword out from the ground with both of his hands.

Adam looked towards the watch on his right hand as it rang for a couple more times and shines bright green, adam looked toward a text that was written in white "Congratulations for killing the Minotaur, please bring the Blood of The Kings sword and one of the tips of the Minotaur's horn with you to the exit."

He turned around towards the large Minotaur head that was right behind him and walked towards it, he stopped right beside the Minotaur's head and swung the sword on his right hand towards the large Minotaur's horn that was close to him which quickly cuts off the tip of the horn.

Adam grabbed the horn that fell to the ground with his left hand and looked towards the entrance of the Minotaur room, he took a deep breath and ran towards it.

Adam ran out from the Minotaur's room as the door behind him suddenly closed on its own, he took another deep breath and ran through the labyrinth as fast as he can while holding the pain on his body by gritting his teeth.

"Just a little bit more the exit should be right after that last corner." Adam thought to himself as he stared towards the right corner that was a couple of meters in front of him.

He took the right turn and ran through a dark tunnel while biting his lips as he fell a large surge of pain from parts of his body while his eyes started to shake, Adam looked forwards and saw a large opening at the end of the tunnel which was a hundred meters away from him that have bright white light coming out from it with two large figure standing right in front of it.

Adam slowed down and instantly stopped as he saw the two figure that was standing right in front of the exit, he tightened the grip of the sword that was on his right hand while staring at the two figure.

"Hahahahaha look at that brother he actually finished the secret game! He killed that monstrous Minotaur!" A man who was wearing a pig mask that was colored in green shouted as he pointed towards Adam while looking towards the man who was standing beside him that was wearing a pink pig mask.

"Yeah I couldn't believe you when you told me that the kid was trying to get the secret but look at him he actually got it! Great job at eavesdropping my favorite brother!" The pink pig masked looked towards the green pig masked man and pats the back of the green pig masked man a couple of times.

"Thank you brother, and look it will be easy to take that sword from him he's bleeding all over plus I bet he has some broken bones it will be very hard to move for him." The green pig masked man pointed towards Adam.

"Why did he bring that horn with him? Do we need to bring that too or do we leave it here when we take it from him?" The pink pig masked man asked as he looked towards the green pig masked man.

"Move or I'll behead both of you just like what I did to that Minotaur!" Adam shouted as he raised the sword towards both of them while trying to stay conscious.

"Oooooooooo so scary! I'm so scared right now come on just walk past us if you can! HAHAHA!" Both of the pig masked men laughed as hard as they can while Adam tried his hardest to move his left leg forward.

"Okay okay that's enough my brother, let's kill him now." The pink pig masked man said as he smiled towards the green pig masked man who instantly smiled back.

"Two big guys ganging up a man who is covered in wounds and blood what kind of cowards are you guys?" A man asked as he slowly walked out from the shadow behind Adam, Adam turned his head around and gasped as he saw Bull that has a large sword on his back.

"Bull! What are you doing here?! What about the rabbit masked girl? Where is she?!" Adam shouted as Bull stopped right beside him and smiled towards Adam.

Bull puts his right hand on Adam's left shoulder and smiled towards him "Relax she's already gone out from this labyrinth, I stay back here because I know that those two pigs want to take the secret price."

"WHAT DID YOU SAY! PIGS?! WE SHOULD'VE KILLED YOU WHEN YOU WERE RIGHT BESIDE US!" The green pig masked man shouted as he pointed towards Bull.

"You look like you're in a lot of pain here take this, that rabbit masked girl told me this will help you. Rest right there and I will move these two pigs out from our way." Bull pointed towards a spot of the tunnel that was a couple of meters behind him while giving Adam a syringe that has thick green liquid inside of it, Adam nodded as he slowly went to where Bull pointed while he stabbed the syringe to his forearm.

Bull pulled the sword that was on his back out from a large brown leather scabbard with his right hand and holds it with both of his hands, he slowly pulled his right leg back while pointing his sword towards the green pig masked man and the pink pig masked man "Come here you pigs."
