He leapt up, right towards the monster's right eye, he had his famous spear, The AME-No-Sakahoko in his hands but did not imbue mana into it just yet.
In order to do so, he would have to cancel his skill, and he wasn't confident in the monster just letting him attack.
Therefore, he got as close as he could first, and only then would he imbue mana. When a strike was guaranteed.
The Minotaur kept its eyes on the door, but Alan still felt wary.
Finally, he was close, he readied his mana to erupt at any moment and opted to use a strike of the Heavenly Sky Spear technique, the Chaos Spear couldn't be used in such a quick moment, it needs more time.
The heavenly Sky spear was not like that, however.
'Now!'
He cancelled his skill, and imbued his mana and used the thrust technique.
The Minotaur noticed his existence, and stared right at the tip of the spear that would soon penetrate his eyes, if not for...
It's horns.
