8 Can't Trust My Knowledge
*RAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!*
The minotaur roar caused a gust of wind to hit me. I think it tried to intimidate me so I'm easier to kill. Sorry but that will not work on me at all.
I brought my shadow doppelganger in my shadow that got pulverized by the black minotaur's fist.
The minotaur noticing that its intimidation is not working stopped roaring. It charges at me intending to shoulder bash me. For such a large creature it's moving very fast but not fast enough. I easily sidestepped it and shot it in the arm before it crashed into the dungeon wall.
*Crash*
A large amount of dust got kicked up but my vision is not hindered in the slightest. The minotaur turns around with its arm full of shallow holes from the shot I took. What I see is the minotaur healing from its wounds. Looks like this will be a bit difficult.
I dashed towards the minotaur to slash its chest but suddenly a fist is filling my vision. I dodged but barely feeling the wind pressure from the punch I can say that I do not want to be hit by it. What happened to my doppelganger almost happened to me. It moved faster than the first time I saw it attack. I need to stop playing around this guy can land a deadly blow if I mess up even once.
The minotaur is wide open from that last attack. I tried to slash it's arm but the blade of the redeemer only did a shallow cut. It's muscle felt like I tried to cut a rock with a kitchen knife from Walmart. The wound I inflicted healed and the minotaur went in for another punch that looked like it would break the sound barrier. I dodged but another punch is right behind it. I aimed my weapon and pulled the trigger blowing back the minotaur's fist.
*Raaaaaaaaa!!!*
It's eyes started glowing and the minotaur started to bulk up. It took a step causing spider web cracks on the ground. It tried to backhand me but I jumped over it's hand.
*Bang*
I shot the redeemer in my left hand at it's left shoulder. I put an extra amount of mana into the shot so it disabled the minotaur's entire left arm. It looked at me with more hatred than before and raised its right arm to slap me to the ground I raised my other redeemer and shot its hand blasting off all its fingers. Before it could recover I ran to while charging up both redeemers to shoot it in the face hopefully killing it.
I jumped in the air and aimed both my weapons in it's face.
*Bang×2*
It's head gets blown off and I land gracefully.
"That wasn't too har-"
It's leg is heading towards me but I can't evade it. All I can do is minimize the damage.
*Crack!!*
I got launched at a distance away. I hit the dungeon wall but didn't get hurt much. My left arm got broken below the elbow and dislocated. I turn around to see the minotaur getting with it's head slowly reforming on it's shoulders.
*Pop*
I popped my shoulder into place and felt pain but it doesn't compare to the torture training I went through on earth. I made sling using shadows then begun directing mana to arm so it can heal faster. I feel the bone slowly shifting in place. I unsummoned my redeemers and pulled out estoc from my storage space. I activated [Electro Drive] and channeled electricity to estoc causing lighting to appear on it.
The minotaur had finally healed at the same time I got ready for another round. It stood up with immense anger on its face with veins bulging at the point it looked like they are about to burst.
Suddenly something unbelievable happed the dungeon floor raised up in a spike in front of the minotaur. It grabbed the spike and broke it off from the ground.
"Oh... Shit..."
It now had a rock shaped in a club in it's hand.
*RAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!*
It charged at winding back its club to crush me. I ran towards it and prepared estoc to receive the incoming attack. The minotaur swung the club at me. I swung the estoc to cut the club and when the estoc and club made contact the estoc cut right through the club like a hot knife through butter. It looked surprised that the skinny weapon I'm holding cut through the thick club made of rock.
Taking advantage of the situation I slid in between its legs then spun cutting its tendons making the minotaur drop to its knees. I jumped on its back and stabbed my estoc deeply in its back. I channeled more electricity into the sword causing the minotaur to roar in pain as it's being electrocuted.
*RAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!*
Lighting started appearing on the outside of the minotaur. It's roaring in pain but it's slowly moving its arms to grab me as soon as its arms were close enough I pulled out estoc and stabbed it in the minotaurs neck. I began pushing the blade to the left cutting most of its head off leaving it dangling. I grabbed its horn and pulled with all my strength ripping its head off. Its body fell limply to the ground but a new head is starting to regenerate.
"As if I let you!"
I slammed my hand on the ground and using every shadow available around to gather under the minotaur. I raised my hand and giant spikes impale the minotaur. Balling up my fist more spikes protruded from the ones impaling the minotaur. The minotaur finally died and started dissolving into particles only leaving its magic stone behind. I went to grab the stone but...
[HATE...]
A powerful presence appeared in front of me but extreme pressure fell upon me when I tried to dash backward. I couldn't move a muscle... I only hope this presence doesn't decide to kill me at the start of my new life.
[KILL...]
Fuck...
[HATE...]
[HATE...]
[HATE...]
[HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE]
[KILL...]

[NO I WAIT...]
The black minotaurs magic crystal shatters and the presence is gone like it wasn't even there in the first place. What the hell was that no who the hell was that. I never heard or seen anything like this before in the anime or even the novel readers that like to spoil the story. Whoever it was they are stronger than Ottar, way stronger. I've never felt so much hate before but the strange thing is that most of it wasn't directed at me. This confused me just like Nyx an entity that there but no one knows about it. I think it's best to leave before another black minotaur shows up after a while.
I turned around and thankfully the hundreds of magic stones are still in the ground. I move the shadows to cover the whole floor and gathered up all the magic stones then sent it all to my storage space.
I headed back towards the way I came from and didn't encounter many monsters. When I got to the corner where the third floor stairs are located I almost bumped into a wall.
"Where did this-... The dungeon..."
The person who tried to kill me has control over the dungeon. To make sure no one can save me if things went bad for me it blocked off this entrance to the fourth floor.
I cut through the wall and surprisingly there are the stairs. After a while, I made it out of the dungeon and it's almost night time like I said I would come out. I looked around to see many adventurers staring at me. I checked myself and see that my outfit has rips and tears and the cloak is mostly destroyed. Even if I explained to them what happened they wouldn't believe me.
I'm too tired to turn in my valis and if I meet Ottar again and Freya told him to abduct me I wouldn't get far. After what felt like hours of walking I made it to the inn I stayed with Nyx last night. I have been swapped out the Death Gun mask for my cloth face mask. Opening the door and walk to the front desk to the female employee.
"How may I help you?" she asked.
"I have a double bed room with a person named Nyx. My name is Naozumi.
" Ahh, miss Nyx said you should be arriving at this time. Let me go get her so she can take you to your room" the employee told me before walking up the stairs.
Three minutes later Nyx walks down with the inn employee and gestures for me to follow her. Heading inside the room Nyx turned around and looked me up and down.
"What happened to you?" Nyx asks me.
"Ran into a monster that I had a bit of trouble with"
"Are you fine?" she asks.
"Mostly"
I moved my arm that's under the mostly destroyed cloak that's still in the shadow sling.
"Is your arm broke?!" she yelled slightly.
"Was but it's healing. I'll be back at full strength in two days"
"Ok" she says.
I told Nyx what happened about the monster party and the black minotaur. She didn't know what a black minotaur is so I explained it.
"A black minotaur is a variant of monster in the dungeon. Black monsters only come when a God enters the dungeon"
"But you are not a god" said Nyx.
"That's not all after I killed the minotaur a powerful presence appeared and I couldn't move a muscle. It kept shouting hate over and over"
She flinched... Nyx flinched just barely to notice but she flinched when I said that. This means she knows about the presence in the dungeon or knows who it is but I can tell if I ask her about this she's not gonna give me an answer. So I'll keep this to myself for now. Also when I heal head back to the dungeon to see if this is gonna happen again. If it does I'll be prepared and if it doesn't I can traverse the dungeon like normal but still be on guard just in case.
"I'm gonna go wash up in the bathhouse in the inn"
"Go ahead I'll probably be asleep when you get back" she told me.
I walked out of the room with a change of clothes then walked to the bathhouse that this inn surprisingly has. Whatever she's hiding I'll find out eventually.
(Nyx pov)
Making sure Naozumi left and didn't leave anything behind that can spy on me I deemed it safe to contact Mother.
Mother, there is something of extreme importance that I must speak to you of.
(A/N: [ ] means a person is speaking mentally to whoever the pov is on)
[Yes daughter? What wrong?]
It's about the dungeon in the mortal world.
[What of it?]
The soul I am watching told me a powerful presence appeared.
[You don't think it's...]
Yes, I absolutely believe it's ****
(A/N: How you guys enjoy the chapter. Im still got to work on how I write fight scenes but I think I was at least decent. Remember to join my discord link in auxiliary)
