Pete asked,
"What's a minotaur"
‣
Chris said,
"Don't joke around, you are this strong and don't know what a minotaur is "
‣
Pete said with a sly smile,
"I was just trying to lift up the mood "
‣
Morsh thought,
'What mood is he talking about... '
‣
Sky said,
"Somebody has seen it in the north side of the forest so we should head there as soon as possible "
‣
Everyone expect Pete nodded,
Sky looked at Pete and noticed that he don't have any weapon,
"Where is your sword "
‣
Pete said,
"I don't have a sword "
‣
Rock said,
"Did you lose it or something "
‣
Pete said,
"You can say that "
‣
Sky puts his hand on Pete's shoulder and said,
"So let's buy you a sword and then head toward the forest '
‣
Pete turned around and walked toward the receptionist and said,
"Ok I will quickly buy a sword "
‣
Sky puts his hand on Pete's shoulder, stopping him and said,
"Why are you heading there... only idiots would buy weapons from the guild as the guild sell the weapons expensively "
‣
Pete started laughing and said,
"haha... I got you... "
‣
Sky smiled and said,
"All of you guys meet us at the city gate and Pete and I will be there after a quick visit to smithy "
‣
Chris said,
"That is a good idea "
‣
They then got out of the guild and headed toward the city gate while Sky took Pete to a Smithy,
As they entered smithy, they saw it was filled with weapons and armors,
Sky said,
"Choose a good sword and decent armor "
‣
Pete was looking around and had no idea what to choose and said,
"Why don't you choose something for me "
‣
Sky was confused and thought,
'Every warrior chooses his weapons and armor according to his body, so why is he letting me choose '
‣
Sky then checked couple of swords and picked one and said,
"This is a good sword, what do you think "
‣
Pete said,
"Let's buy it then "
‣
They nodded and walked up to the blacksmith standing on the counter and sky said,
"We would like to purchase this sword "
‣
Pete remembered at that moment that he has no money,
'I hope a miracle happens and money appears in my pocket '
‣
He puts his hand on his inner pocket and found 2 gold coins and some silver coins,
Morsh said,
"I earned those after I killed some horned rabbits "
‣
Pete puts the 2 gold coins on the table in front of the blacksmith,
The blacksmith said,
"This sword is only one gold "
‣
Pete smiled and quickly grabbed one gold coins and puts it into his pocket,
Sky picked a armor and asked the blacksmith,
"How much for this "
‣
The blackmith said,
"1gold 5 silver coins "
‣
Sky said,
"Let's make it 2 gold for the armor and the sword "
‣
The blacksmith said,
"Ok "
‣
Pete gave the gold coin back to blacksmith,
He then wore the armor and grabs the sword,
Sky said,
"We should go now"
‣
Pete nodded and they got out of the smithy and headed toward the city gate,
The four members were waiting in front of the city gate,
Chris said to the priestess,
"What do you think about Pete "
‣
The priestess said,
"He is strong and ruthless but pure and innocent too "
‣
Rock was confused and said,
"What are you talking about "
‣
Chris said,
"It's like He was different person when he was fighting and different when he is not "
‣
Rock said,
"How can you say this when you haven't even fought him "
‣
Chris said,
"Atleast I was not the one who lost in a kick "
‣
Iris said,
"Quit it, he grabbed me by my hair and punched me "
‣
Rock said,
"Don't keep things like that on your mind, you are a warrior and things like these happens "
‣
Iris was blushing and said,
"I was just saying that he didn't cared about my gender and treated me like a warrior "
‣
The priestess understood the meaning behind her words and whispered in her ear,
"I will help you two get close '
‣
Iris turned red and kicked Rock,
Rock was confused and said,
"Why did you kick me "
‣
Iris said,
"Do I need a reason to kick you "
‣
Chris saw Pete and Sky at that moment and said,
"Hey they are here "
‣
Pete and Sky walked up to them and Sky said,
"Let's head to the forest now "
‣
Everyone nodded and they got out of the city and headed toward the forest,
As they were heading toward the direction of the Minotaur when Sky asked Pete,
"Where is your home Pete '
‣
Pete started panicking,
Morsh said,
"Tell them you lived at the Doro village before it got destroyed "
‣
Sky felt unusual as he saw Pete panicking,
'Why is he panicking like that '
‣
Pete calmed down after hearing Morsh and said,
"I used to live in Doro village, but it got destroyed by the orcs when I was out in a quest "
‣
Sky puts his hands on Pete's shoulder,
'So he was hesitating, not panicking'
‣
Rock said,
"We were at the Doro village, but we left one day before it got destroyed "
‣
Chris hits Rock on his shoulder and whispered in his ears,
"It must be hard for him, don't be insensitive "
‣
Rock nodded and said,
"I am sorry "
‣
Pete said,
"Don't worry, I am over it now "
‣
Iris saw some footprints and said,
"Get ready, it's nearby "
‣
They took out their weapons and started walking cautiously,
"ROOOAAAARRR!!!!!! "
When suddenly they heard a roar on their right,
They turned over and walked slowly to the direction of the roar,
Pete was just imitating them,
‣
They just had walked a couple of steps when they heard the noise of trees falling,
Sky signaled and they rushed toward the voice,
They reached an open are where the minotaur was standing,
It resembled a troll in term of size, but has two big horns, brown fur with stone like muscles,
Its feet were of a bull with humanoid hands, it was eating a deer when his nose twitched and he smells human behind him,
‣
Pete and the other were standing behind the minotaur,
The minotaur looked behind and saw them,
"ROOOAAARRR!!!!!!!! "
It roared and threw the deer and ran toward the humans,
‣
Pete was terrified to see the minotaur rushing toward them and froze,
Everybody other then Pete jumped out of the way but Pete was still standing there frozen,
The minotaur punched Pete and Pete went flying backwards crashing into trees and breaking them,
Sky shouted,
"He got Pete, but we can defeat him so don't lose focus "
‣
He then said to the priestess,
"Give us the buffs "
‣
The priestess quickly lifts her hands forward and chanted,
"Haste, enhanced defense, enhanced attack "
‣
As the priestess chanted, a golden light was glowing around the four of them,
The Priestess then hid behind a tree and said,
"I will be healing you guys from here "
‣
Sky looked toward the minotaur and said,
"Iris distract him with your arrows, Chris attack with fire or lightening and Rock and I will attack it head on "
‣
Iris started shooting mana arrows on the minotaur,
The arrows were not strong to penetrate the minotaur but were able to distract it,
A lightning strikes the minotaur at that moment,
Chris said,
"Do you like it "
‣
The Minotaur's fur was burned with lightening, he has also been stunned,
Rock slashed its knee joint from behind with his great sword,
The minotaur fell on one knee and Sky jumped and swings his sword with full force at his neck,
The minotaur grabbed Sky in midair and threw him to the side,
Rock angrily tried to cut its neck, but the minotaur slammed him to the ground,
‣
A mana arrow pierced its left eye, and the minotaur puts both of his hands on the eye while screaming in pain,
The priestess quickly healed Sky and Rock,
The healing process was slow but it was enough for them to fight,
Sky and Rock stood up and rushed toward the minotaur,
Rock then slashed it's right leg's knee joint and the minotaur fell on his knees again,
‣
Sky climbed up to his back and stabbed his sword on the back of his neck,
His sword penetrated only couple of inches when the minotaur grabbed Sky with its right hand and threw him to the side,
Iris shot down it's right eye as it threw Sky,
The minotaur screamed in pain and fell on the ground,
The priestess used healing on Sky,
Sky shouted as he was struggling to stand up,
"Rock, the sword on his neck "
‣
Rock saw Sky's sword was stabbed on the back of the minotaur's neck,
He jumped on its back and stabbed his sword on the back of its neck right next to Sky's sword,
"My sword is bigger than yours, so it will do more damage "
‣
His sword successfully penetrated the minotaur's neck and came out of its mouth,
The minotaur died as his neck was penetrated,
The priestess quickly ran up to Sky and started healing him,
Chris said,
"We defeated the minotaur.... it was not that hard "
‣
Iris puts back her bow and said,
"Says the one who only used one spell "
‣
Chris said,
"Hey that spell used a lot of my mana "
‣
Rock said with a concerned voice,
"Where's Pete "
‣
Pete was hiding behind a tree in a distance from the battle,
He was curled up crying,
"it's impossible to defeat that monster.... it was terrifying "
‣
Pete's mouth and nose were both bleeding, and his armor was broken.
‣
Morsh said,
"That monster is not that strong "
‣
Pete said,
"Well, you can say that because you are strong"
‣
Morsh said,
"Hey, we share the same body so we both have same strength "
‣
Realization dawn upon Pete and he stood up wiping his tears,
"We both are equally strong "
‣
He quickly ran toward the minotaur,
As he approached where the minotaur was, he drew his sword,
He dropped his sword as soon as he reached there,
He was shocked to see the dead minotaur on the ground,
Rock saw Pete and said,
"Where were you until now "
‣
Pete said,
"I got lost in the forest "
‣
Sky said,
"However, given that the minotaur struck you directly, it is still a miracle that you are still alive"
‣
The priestess quickly used healing on Pete,
Chris said,
"Rock will be skinning the minotaur and remove his horns too"
‣
Rock turned toward Pete and said,
"Help me skin it "
‣
Pete quickly grabbed his sword and walked up to the dead minotaur,
Rock skinned the minotaur while Pete helped him here and there,
After skinning the minotaur, Rock said,
"It's horns are most difficult to cut"
‣
Pete said,
"Let me try "
‣
Rock nodded and Pete walked up to the horn,
He then swings his sword with his full force,
The horn was cut down cleanly,
Sky was watching every action of Pete,
'Strong and easily cuts through that horn, but why didn't he avoid the strike earlier? '
‣
Pete cuts down second horn and Rock folded the skin around the horns and said,
"Everything is finished here, so let's go get the reward "
‣
Since Pete didn't help in killing the Minotaur, he felt bad and said,
"I will carry the skin"
‣
Rock nodded and gave the skin to Pete,
Pete picked the skin up on his shoulder and they headed toward the city,
When they arrived in the city, they went straight for the guild.,
The receptionist checked the skin and gave the reward to Sky,
Sky then handed a gold coin each to the Pete and others,
"Rest up for the day and come back here at the evening since we have work to do "
‣
They all nodded and left the guild.
