The Heart of Stone and the Pulse of Earth (Part 2)

...

After an intense battle, Shin and Charlotte managed to defeat the Minotaur Knight that was blocking their path.

The battle lasted longer than they had expected because the minotaur was able to completely digest all of the remaining powers of the other two minotaurs that were killed earlier. And due to that, that Minotaur Knight suddenly evolved into a King Class Monster Boss at the very last moment and forced their Elemental Companions to be unsummoned.

Fortunately, the minotaur was already close to dying after the combined attacks that they threw at it earlier.
