Possess More, Have More, Enjoy More; The Arrogance in One's Bones

He looked over.

The Mutant Minotaur maintained its charging stance, its feet straining backward, yet no matter how it struggled, it was firmly held back by a pitch-black arm pressed against its head.

"The moment you attacked, an aura locked onto me. No matter how I dodged, I couldn't avoid your attack."

"That was your ability, wasn't it?"

"Lock-on? It seemed to be more than that."

"But before an absolute gap in strength, no matter what your ability is, it is meaningless."

Fallen spoke calmly as the hand holding back the Mutant Minotaur tightened slightly.

"Moo!!!"

The intense pain made the Mutant Minotaur cry out incessantly. Fallen showed no expression whatsoever and casually threw it into the distance.

"Considering we may cooperate in the future, I'll spare your life for now."

"Get up..."

"Moo!!!"

Before Fallen could finish speaking, the Mutant Minotaur he had thrown to the ground suddenly rose to its feet. The agonizing pain in its head stirred its emotions, and its brown eyes brimmed with endless fury.

With a thunderous roar, Fallen suddenly sensed the gravity around him changing. The air and even his body reacted to the abrupt shift in the environment.

Crack!

Even the slightest unconscious movement made his bones emit crisp cracking sounds.

As though they were reminding him of the fragility of his body.

But—

Boom!!!

A terrifying roar exploded through the air. Fallen's body vanished in an instant and reappeared above the Mutant Minotaur's head. Pitch-black energy radiating a terrifying aura gathered in his hand before blasting downward!

Rumble, rumble!

The ground shattered as Fallen's torrent of energy blasted the Mutant Minotaur directly into the earth, while the surrounding land cracked apart like a spiderweb.

Just one strike.

Under Fallen's serious attack, just one strike had easily dealt with the Mutant Minotaur.
