Hero of Darkness

Chapter 42: The Reigning Champion

The group of three giant Minotaurs was keeping a guard on the city streets and taking a stroll to keep an eye out.

Kahn was crawling on top of a building roof, trying to avoid the gaze of this group. He was currently thinking of a plan to take out these minotaurs one by one. Every single one of these creatures was too big in size and also had highly defensive abilities that made it even harder to kill.

Soon, he noticed a pattern between these minotaurs.. One would check the end of the street while the other two took turns in checking the other end. Kahn was waiting for an opportunity to take out the one who would be alone in the middle of their guard post so he could distract it when the others were away.

A few minutes later, when the one minotaur was alone while the other two went to check the ends of the street as part of their routine, Kahn jumped down and hid behind a big and sturdy stone wall.

PHEWHEW!

Kahn whistled and the minotaur on the guard finally felt like it heard something. And just as Kahn had expected, it followed the noise.

Kahn had merged himself with the shadow behind the wall using Shadow Walk so the giant monster didn't notice him. As soon as its back turned towards Kahn, he jumped out of the shadow and from his own shadow three more figures jumped out the next second.

Unlike before, Kahn no longer needed to verbally command his subordinates to come out of his shadow. Thanks to the Hive Mind ability he got from Synthesis.. He could telepathically command them and they'd react as per his will without needing a verbal order.

The three figures were none other than Omega, Blackwall & Ceril. Just as their footsteps made noise, the lone minotaur looked their way and was alerted of the enemy's presence.

It roared loudly and stomped its leg on the ground, trying to alert the fellow guards, but it noticed that even after its roar and heavy stomp, there was no sound coming out from its mouth or a single vibration from the ground.

Just then, it noticed Ceril who had a black mage staff in his hand and a faint blue barrier surrounding their location.

Silence Barrier.

It was a Mage exclusive skill that could only be performed by an Intermediate Rank mage.

Ceril, who was created from the bodies of a Mage & Summoner class had inherited this skill. The moment they jumped out of the shadow, he had cast the silence barrier and removed any sound from their surrounding.

The minotaur roared again, albeit producing no noise. Omega and Blackwall charged at this lone minotaur and clashed with it using their bodies. Blackwall used his Knight's Taunt and Templar's Will to enrage the giant bull creature and banged his sword on the big shield he was holding in his left hand.
