The minotaur was fast, faster tha least as it charged me with it's horns down. No doubt intending to eviscerate me with the things but I leapt to the side a crash into the wall behind me. Rock dust filled the air as the charge broke the wall a rod dust into the air. it wasn't enough to obscure the beasts though as I saw it's silhouette through the cloud and stood at the ready for whatever it did . Unfortunately I wasn't expeg it's move as it grabbed a stone and lobbed it at me full force.

  "CRACK! OOPH!"

  The sound of bones breaking and the air in my lungs getti out filled the air as the sto me on my right side at the bottom of my ribcage breaking two of them in the process. I fell into a coughing fit that hurt like a motherfucker as my body desperately tried to inhale air. The minotaur drooled and breathed out steam from it's nostrils and started walking towards me si could likely feel my weakness.

  'FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK!' I cursed over and ain in my mind trying to find a solution to survive, no TO WIN.

  I hate losing, I detest it with every fiber of my being and I was desperate to win, to succeed at this point. And my cursed energy responded as I fell into a foggy state of mind.

  "BURN." A simple word escaped my lips like no more than a gentle whisper, then the heat came.

  Bd blue cursed fmes erupted from me as the temperature of room rose by dozens of degrees in an instant. I was w on pure feral instinct at this point as my pain and the surrounds all stopped being relevant. All that mattered was this foe before me.

  The minotaur bellowed angrily and ran towards me but failed to reach me as the fmes c my body bur merely a foot away from me. It's skin bubbled and flesh charred in an instant as the cursed fmes as if alive snaked up it's arm from that briefest of tad hungrily ged itself on the meal it found. I swung my on and found purchase on it's own ribs as my cursed energy surged ii moment before impad the air ed as bck lightning sparked.

  "Bck fsh!" I yelled as the minotaurs ribs broke and it spat out a mouthful of blood as one of them pierced it's lung.

  It all suddenly felt wrong, the stupidly ineffit way I used my energy, the flow of it in my teique and body. I fixed all of that in an instant and the results were immediate. The fmes densed and turned into a demonic bck a an inch away from my body and on but multiple times strohan before as the stone above me ah my feet began to glow white hot a at a rapid pace.-

  "Hell's fe!" I spoke and the cursed energy repaired my broken ribs and damaged insides in an instant.

  I didn't skip a and began to wail on the minotaur that hadn't recovered from my first bck fsh so by the end of my fourth it gave up the ghost, bed and insides liquified. I didn't even notice that someone had shown up and bcked out as mind zero hit me hard. I may have gotten the enlighte of bck fsh but I had gone way beyond my limit on power expenditure and ohe minotaur was dead I dropped like a sack of rocks.-

  I have no idea how long I was out for but when I came to I heard two female voices talking.

  "Any idea what sort of heat would do that? Theres no way a level one could produce such a thing." a mature but young sounding voice said sternly.

  "But the proof is all here that says a level one DID produce it! And Ais said he was glowing bck the whole time, she doesn't lie and you know it." another younger and more eic voice argued.

  "He's waking up." a new monotone voice said sileng the other two temporarily.

  I groaned as I opened my eyes but was fused to see boobs above me and a blonde haired girl looking down as well with a weird mix of curiosity and bnkness. I tried to sit up but my head THROBBED in pain at the movement and I groaned.

  "You have experienced a bad case of mind zero and may need a few mio be able to move." The mature voice said and my gaze flickered in the dire I heard it e from.

  There was two people there, a petite short haired amazon with a wide grin and a modestly dressed green haired elf with curiously lohan normal ears.

  "Sed time i two months, this is being a bad habit." I said with a chuckle that made my headache spike for a moment.

  "Hey hey~ Ais said you were all glowing bd fmy and stuff, what was that?" the eager amazon asked with overflowing curiosity.

  "Magid a bad idea obviously." i said while trying to dig through my bag at my waist without looking for a potion.

  "What sort of magic exactly? It's unheard of for a level oo have that much firepower. A level two rarely but not a level ohe elf said in a very know it all fashion.

  "No idea, I'm not some schor ouff." I said holy.

  I couldn't even begin to expin why or how the hell anything I did worked when it involved cursed energy, it just did and that was good enough for me. The elf however didn't look happy with my answer but at least seemed to believe me. I smiled as I finally felt a gss vial with my fingers and fished it out of my bag and brought it close to my mouth and ripped out the cork with my teeth and dowhe potion.

  "You could have just asked for a potion if you needed one, we have some spares." the elf said seriously.

  My headache rapidly retreated as the potion took effed I winced as I sat up. "I have a bad rea to the normal potions, these are specially made just for me." I expined and she nodded in uanding.

  "I'm Tioione Hiryute!" the amazon girl introduced herself with a wide smile as she got all up close and personal.

  "Alexander Drake, I go by Alex though." I said calmly while stretg since I was stiff.

  "I am Riveria Ljos Alf and that is Ais Wallenstein, she was the one who found you towards the end of yht with the minotaur. An apology is owed to you as we got careless and actally sent the monster fleeing to the upper floors where it found you." Riveria said and bowed slightly.

  "I assumed as much, the someone sg it up here part not the you did it part. Speaking of that grilled beef where is it?" I asked looking around and not seeing the corpse.
