Infinite Paths: The Raging Phoenix

Chapter 379: Minotaur

This time, the beastmen took their time sending their next combatant... actually, too much time. Rain at first thought that they were planning what they should do, but the beast king didn't leave the area, so he probably just wanted to face Rain in a one-on-one battle and crush him with strength only.

After a while, the ground began to tremble a little and very slowly, and Rain realized that something big was approaching... The beast king showed a smile, and it seemed that he was looking forward to the next fight more now.

The audience fell into a heavy silence, fully aware of the impending spectacle, though not particularly excited about it. Then, out of nowhere, a massive figure leaped over the arena's towering walls. This colossal beastman, standing an imposing ten meters tall, resembled a minotaur, its massive muscles rippling under a thick coat of fur.

As it landed, the sheer weight of its body caused the silver arena to sink slightly, sending shockwaves of awe and trepidation through the onlookers. The sight of this formidable opponent left the crowd in stunned silence.

"And they call Allion an aberration," Rain said while frowning. "I guess everything is fine as long as it has one hundred percent of their blood."

"Is that a true beastman?" Jori asked, visibly speechless. "That can't be true..."

Most beastmen were, at best, three meters tall, and the strongest ones could be four meters tall, just like the beast king. Still, that guy was more than two times taller than any other beastman.

"I guess I will have to get a bit tired before facing their king," Rain said, and then he began to move toward the middle of the arena.

Somehow, Rain landed on his feet on the wall before falling, but his arms were numb.... The power of that kick had been off the charts... the opponent tried to kick him with almost all his might, apparently, and his speed as well...

"I guess he doesn't like to be hit in the face," Rain thought when he landed and saw the opponent glaring at him.

The gigantic beastman radiated an aura of fury, clearly agitated by the situation. However, Rain couldn't help but furrow his brow in response. The giant's behavior seemed oddly childish as if he hadn't received proper combat training. His fighting style was unorthodox and chaotic, lacking the finesse one might expect from a seasoned warrior.

Nonetheless, Rain recognized the menace that this formidable opponent represented, regardless of his unconventional approach to battle.

The giant beastmen charged at Rain and then tried to kick him again, but Rain jumped to the side at the last minute and made the giant hit the wall of the arena. The people in the vicinity of the area fell from their seats, and soon they saw the giant beastmen groaning in pain while massaging his feet... he truly looked like a child in a giant's body.

"I feel a bit bad for doing this... but I can't waste time or lose here," Rain thought. "This guy will have to go down in order for me and my friends to have some peace of mind..."

Rain assumed a fighting stance and prepared to get serious...
