Although the Minotaur did not dare to resist Isidor in the front, they were unwilling to let the adventure group leave just like that.
They surrounded from the rear and the two wings, relying on their brute force to repeatedly attack the shield formation. As they were attacked from three sides, the shield formation was already showing signs of collapse.
At the critical moment, the regiment commander personally led the soldiers in the front to replace the fleeing soldiers, and only then was the formation barely stabilized.
Isidor cleared the way with his sword, preventing the enemy from closing in. In addition, the adventure group had gradually found an unfavorable terrain, so the minotaurs had no choice but to stop chasing.
After a desperate fight, the pure love warriors were very tired and had to find a high ground to stop and rest.
"Captain, nearly half of our people are dead or wounded. What should we do?" said the young pure love warrior who had previously conducted reconnaissance with the commander in tears.
"It's all my fault. It's my fault that I didn't listen to Mr. Isidor's advice and insisted on robbing the camp." The captain said self-reproachfully.
"No, I think your judgment is correct. But there is a very strange suspicious point in this operation: that is, the Minotaur arranged it so well, as if they knew we would come in advance." Isidor said suspiciously.
"You mean, there are scouts among the Minotaur? But as far as I know, the Minotaur is least good at intelligence-related magic and skills. Could it be divination? No, no, no, how could the Minotaur use such advanced magic?" The captain shook his head again and again.
"Is there a possibility that there is a traitor among us?" Isidor whispered.
"Cumshot? Oh no, you mean there's a traitor among us who leaked the news?" the team leader said in surprise.
"That's right. I can't think of any benefit for humans to help minotaurs, but if minotaurs don't have the reconnaissance system, this is the only possibility," said Isidor.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Our pure love warriors are carefully screened, and only those whose relatives and friends were killed by the Minotaur and who have a blood feud can join. How could they possibly turn around and help the Minotaur? I absolutely don't believe it. Even if the goblins are no longer lustful, there will be no traitors among the pure love warriors!" The captain said firmly.
"Just say it, why do you always bring the goblins along..." Isidor muttered softly.
"Captain! The Minotaur is chasing us again!" said a pure love warrior, pointing at a fire that was gradually approaching in the distance.
"Why are you panicking? We are now occupying the high ground. As the saying goes, 'attack the low and the stupid.' Moreover, we are well-rested and the situation of offense and defense should be easy!" The regiment commander stood up and commanded the soldiers to form a shield formation again, holding their hands around the high ground, with heavy crossbows placed behind their shields ready to go.
Strangely, however, the Minotaur did not rush to attack, but stopped at the limit of the effective range of the heavy crossbow, as if waiting for something.
"Are you trying to trap us to death? That's funny. With such a loose encirclement, even elephants can slip out. How can you expect to trap people?" The team leader laughed.
"No, I feel like they are waiting for something." Isidor looked at the strict shield formations around him and felt something was wrong.
"Don't worry, Lord Isidor. The shield and crossbow formation on the high ground is impossible to break through from the outside. If the Minotaur dares to launch an attack, they will immediately become sitting ducks." The young member who had accompanied the captain before said with a smile.
"That's true, but the giant minotaur never showed up, which makes me a little worried," said Isidor.
"Yeah, that's true. The atmosphere today is already hot enough, and it's almost time for the protagonist to appear." The young member grinned, revealing a gloomy expression.
Chapter 59: Battle against the Giant Minotaur
Before the captain could react, Isidor had already slashed at him with his sword.
However, the young member blocked the sword with one hand and laughed wildly towards the sky.
His laughter became more and more strange and less human-like. His body also expanded rapidly, transforming into a giant minotaur that was completely black.
The giant minotaur roared, raised his right foot high, and stomped the ground hard.
The huge impact force spread to the surface, and the entire mountain began to shake as if it had experienced a small earthquake.
The pure love warriors all lost their balance and most of them fell to the ground. Even Isidor took several steps back before he could barely keep his balance.
At the same time, the minotaurs at the foot of the mountain launched an attack as if they had received a signal.
Under attack from both inside and outside, even the well-trained pure love warriors began to panic.
"Everyone listen to me! Everyone go down the mountain and fight in close combat. We must hold back the Minotaur and buy time for Lord Isidor!" Seeing that it was impossible to stand on the top of the mountain, the captain immediately picked up his shield hammer and led his men down the mountain to block the large group of Minotaur that were attacking.
The bare mountain top suddenly became quiet, leaving only Isidor and the giant minotaur confronting each other.
"You are the traitor among the Pure Love Warriors, right? I never thought that a minotaur would disguise as a human and go undercover." Isidor said, staring at the minotaur's huge body.
"You have two mistakes: first, I am not a minotaur who turned into a human, but a human who turned into a minotaur; second, I am not a traitor, I am just defending the pure land of pure love in my heart in my own way." The giant minotaur shook his head.
"Huh? You passed on information, harmed your partners, and now you're directly showing up to be the enemy of your comrades. If this isn't called betrayal, then Sima Zhao is a loyal minister of the Wei Dynasty." Isidor said, rolling his eyes.
"I don't understand what you are saying, but I will never allow you to insult the pure love in my heart!" The giant minotaur roared, causing Isidor's eardrums to hurt.
Then, it stomped its foot hard on the ground, and a ray of lightning came from the ground and headed straight for Isidor.
Isidor knew that this was a spell that the giant minotaur was born with, and heard that it was extremely powerful, so he quickly dodged to the side. Unexpectedly, the lightning suddenly changed direction and chased Isidor.
"Damn it, it even has a built-in padlock, isn't this cheating?" Isidor quickly distanced himself again and went behind a rock that was more than one meter tall.
There was a loud thunder, and the whole stone was shattered by the lightning. Isidor took the opportunity to throw out all the mana burning scrolls in one breath.
The blue flames rolled up and down, burning the giant minotaur's body. The flames did not seem to cause any damage, but they could burn the target's magic power.
Once the magic power is exhausted, the giant minotaur is just an enhanced version of the ordinary minotaur, and it is not difficult to deal with opponents with brute force alone.
Seeing that all the scrolls hit the target, Isidor felt relieved and swung his sword directly at the minotaur.
However, he was dumbfounded immediately afterwards. Another flash of lightning came from under the feet of the Minotaur and rushed directly towards Isidor.
Because the distance was too close, Isidor had no room to dodge. He quickly used his sword to block, but there was a loud bang, and he felt a sharp pain all over his body, and the magic-resistant leather armor on his body burst open.
Isidor quickly distanced himself again. Fortunately, the magic-resistant leather armor offset some of the damage, and he also had the endurance skill, so the injury was not serious.
"Oh? You're wearing equipment with magic resistance? I thought the outcome could be decided with just one strike." The giant minotaur said disappointedly.
"What's going on? Is the magic burning scroll useless to you?" Isidor said in surprise.
"Haha, how can it be useless? It's just that before the scroll was thrown to me, I released a spell in advance, and fixed it under my feet, waiting for you to fall into the trap. Knowing that the opponent has props to reduce magic power, isn't it common sense to use up as much magic power as possible before that?" The Minotaur laughed.
Isidor frowned. It was obvious that this guy had seen the scroll he had thrown out when he rescued people that day, so he was able to come up with a quick response.
The opponent in front of him not only possessed the powerful body of a minotaur, but also the wisdom of an adventurer. The combination of the two created an enemy with both wisdom and courage, something Isidor had never faced before.
Although the opponent's magic power has been exhausted and it seems that there will be no third lightning, Isidor is still very alert.
He circled around and slowly approached the giant minotaur. When the other party blinked, he suddenly flashed over and stabbed the minotaur's body with a sword.
Because of the height difference, the sword could only hit the Minotaur's abdomen. The Minotaur did not expect Isidor to have the skill to attack in the blink of an eye. He screamed in pain and stomped hard on the ground to try to shake Isidor away.
"Shock wave!" At the moment when the Minotaur raised his foot, Isidor fired an instant shock wave directly from the sword. The shock wave exploded in the Minotaur's body, disturbing his internal organs. The raised foot finally fell to the ground powerlessly.
"It's over!" Isidor jumped up and slashed at the minotaur's neck with his sword.
However, the Minotaur reacted quickly, lowered his head and used his horns to catch Isidor's attack, then distanced himself and took out a purple potion from his backpack and gulped it down.
Isidor remembered that the potion was used to stimulate the body's activity. The potion itself was poisonous, but drinking a small amount with a healing potion could promote wound healing. Once consumed in excess, the human body would turn into a slime-like mud.
However, the Minotaur drank a large bottle of purple potion generously. Not only did he not feel any discomfort, but the wound that was stabbed by Isidor just now healed rapidly.
Isidor also hurriedly drank the life potion, and just as he swallowed it, a beam of lightning shot towards him along the ground.
"Even the magic power has been restored? Isn't it cheating for monsters to carry backpacks?" Isidor quickly dodged the lightning, but the Minotaur came up from the other side.
Although Isidor was much more flexible than the Minotaur, he could not withstand the double-sided attack. He was first hit by a punch on the arm by the Minotaur, and then was hit by lightning.
Even with the effect of endurance, Isidor still paid the price of half his blood.
"Damn it, are you trying to plot against me?" Isidor said, staring into the other person's eyes viciously.
"Hehe, this is just an extension of the battle. Your arrival has brought huge changes to my plan, and it's time to get out." The Minotaur said, raising his hoof to shake the ground again.
However, there was a hint of hesitation in his eyes.
"Wash it!" Isidor, who had just performed hypnosis, stepped forward with his sword and went straight for the minotaur's head.
However, before he could rush forward, an ordinary minotaur blocked his way.
Isidor had no choice but to chop it down with one sword. When he looked at the giant minotaur again, his eyes had regained clarity.
Isidor looked around and saw that the pure love warriors who had just rushed down the mountain were scattered, and only a few were still resisting. Dozens of minotaurs had already rushed to the top of the mountain, ready to work together to kill him.
At this time, Isidor had no way to escape. The several methods he usually used were obviously ineffective against the enemy's bull-sea tactics. Was he going to die here?
Suddenly, Isidor caught a glimpse of the ghost value on the panel, which had reached 490 points and the evolution potential of LV19.
Perhaps, this is a hope for victory? However, to increase the ghost value, one must have evil thoughts in one's heart. How can one generate evil thoughts in such a critical battlefield?
Isidor became more and more anxious as he watched the minotaurs slowly surrounding him.
Chapter 60: Second Evolution! Kill All the Minotaur!
Seeing that the minotaurs were about to surround him, Isidor sighed, threw his sword to the ground, knelt on his knees, and worshiped the sky.
"Have you given up resisting? You are a man who knows how to appreciate favors. Considering that you and I have fought for so many moves, I will let you die quickly." The giant minotaur walked forward and said.
"Dear teachers, madams, and all the major Chinese translation teams, may you bless us..." Isidor closed his eyes and reviewed his memories of reading countless books, ignoring the approaching minotaurs around him.
Like a revolving lantern before death, one black and white or colorful scroll and text after another appeared in Isidor's mind.
“No, the taste is too bland…”
"No, this plot is too conservative."
"It still doesn't work. This style of painting is a bit rough..."
"This won't work either. Although it seems to be a novel story, the protagonist still has the inertia of human thinking..."
“Although it’s very strange to desire mathematical formulas, they are too abstract and lack the space for imagination...”
"Found it, this is it! A masterpiece that's perverted enough, weird enough, and devilish enough!" Isidor suddenly opened his eyes, and the memories deep in his heart reflected a devilish outline in the dark night sky.
[The ghost value has been increased to 500 points]
[Evolution potential has been increased to LV20]
[All attributes have been improved]
[Evolution direction can be selected]
[① Greedy Goblin (obtains the special skill Plunder, additionally strengthens the speed attribute)]
[②Giant Goblin (gain special skill regeneration, additional strength attribute enhancement)]
[③Mysterious Goblin (Gain special skill: Vision Manifestation. Extra enhancement of spiritual attributes)]
[④ Blue Seal Goblin (gain special skill curse, additionally strengthen magic attribute)]
The giant minotaur didn't know what happened to Isidor, but he subconsciously felt that something was wrong, so he quickly raised his hoof and stomped hard on Isidor's head.
In a flash, Isidor could no longer carefully read the pros and cons of the four evolutionary directions. He had no choice but to follow the principle of "three short and one long, choose the longest" and choose the mysterious goblin as his own evolutionary direction.
"Activate the materialization of fantasy: create items, electric poison dragon drill!" Isidor raised his hand and shouted.
Only a faint light flashed, and although the skill did not really create a drill as he said, it did create a sharp spike made of fine steel, which directly pierced the giant minotaur's foot.
"What?" The giant minotaur was shocked. Isidor took the opportunity to roll around behind him, materialized a nail hammer, and smashed it at the giant minotaur's lower back from below with all his strength.
At this point Isidor had no time to see how much strength he had after the evolution, but if it was the same as last time and doubled after the evolution, then his current strength would have reached an astonishing thousand points.
This strength value is probably not inferior to that of the giant minotaur. If this blow hits the giant minotaur, it is likely to be enough to kill him.
Although the opponent can take medicine to recover, during this period, you can calmly clean up the miscellaneous soldiers, and finally have a one-on-one battle with the giant minotaur.
However, just as Isidor was thinking this, the Minotaur's body was smashed into the air by the power of the hammer and flew to a height of more than ten meters before falling to the ground.
The moment the giant minotaur landed on the ground, the entire ground shook violently and a deep pit was smashed into the ground.
Looking at the giant minotaur's condition again, his pupils were dilated and a bloody hole was smashed in his lower back. The blood that flowed out actually filled up the big hole he had smashed.
"I didn't expect that I would drown in a pool of my own blood..." The giant minotaur looked unwillingly towards a place below the mountain, and finally died ugly.
Isidor himself was also shocked at why this attack was so effective. Even if the power was doubled, it shouldn't be able to kill instantly. Could it be the bonus of the materialization of fantasy?
But even though he was a little confused, Isidor had no intention of stopping. He continued to swing his mace, hammering down the bewildered minotaurs one by one.
"Let's all die!"
"Have you eaten? If not, take this blow from me!"
"Let us hunt down those minotaurs who have fallen into darkness!"
Isidor was killing crazily like a Shura fished out of the blood sea of purgatory. Although his subsequent attacks did not have the amazing effect of killing the giant minotaur instantly, because of the increased speed after evolution, none of the minotaurs could escape and they were killed one by one by his hammer.
At this time, he was the only one still standing on the bald mountain stained with blood. After the pleasure of killing faded away, Isidor remembered that there were still many wounded people below, so he quickly dropped his mace and went down to check the injuries of the pure love warriors.
After this almost suicidal attack, there were only a few pure love warriors left alive.
After searching for a while, Isidor finally found only five living people, and fortunately the leader was among them. He hurriedly fed these people the life potion they carried with them, but unfortunately the potion could only provide vitality, and the wounds on their bodies were still bleeding. If this continued, death was only a matter of time.
Isidor thought of the activating potion that the giant minotaur had just drunk, and tried to imagine the appearance and effects of the potion in his mind, but nothing happened.
Isidor frowned, closed his eyes and tried hard to think, when he suddenly felt his hands getting wet, and when he opened his eyes, he found a pool of lavender potion in his palms.
Isidor was overjoyed, and hurriedly mixed the active potion into the life potion and made the five people drink it. Then he materialized several feet of white cloth, coated it with the active potion and used it to bandage the wounds of the five people.
