"Argh!!" I cried out in pain.

Meanwhile, the Minotaur cried out as well as it forcefully pulled out both arrows from its eyes.

Now it was blind, with no means of sight.

It fumbled around on a spot, turning frantically to know if I was near.

The Minotaur knew it was disadvantaged with its eyesight gone.

The only means it had of finding me now was by using its ears.

I forcefully tugged the spear-looking spike from my hand with a cry of pain.

The Minotaur's ears twitched at the sound of my voice.

'Found you!!'

It dropped on all four, directing its pointed horns towards my direction, even though it couldn't see exactly where I was or what I was doing.

The Minotaur only had one thing in mind, and that was to impale me with its horn.

Upon the Minotaur's rapid movement, all four pillars released a series of spear-like spikes.

A few grazed the Minotaur while a couple of those spears pierced into the Minotaur's limbs, but the Minotaur cared very little about itself right now.

It had only one thing in mind, and that was to see me dead.

The Earth rumbled violently due to the impact of the Dark Minotaur's feet on the ground, warning me of the incoming Minotaur.

I swiftly rolled towards my left, evading the Minotaur in the process and allowing the Minotaur to slide towards the electrocuting flaming bird cage.

The Minotaur roared in frustration as it was electrocuted once again.

This time around, it was stunned by this impact, allowing it to drop back to the ground as it tried to desperately get to its feet.

My vision became blurry, I was losing blood, and I could faint at any second.

But I knew if I did, then that would be the end of me.

With a determined mind to end this once and for all, I rose to my feet with a spear in hand and my feet quivering, not in fear but in exhaustion.

Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

I sucked a massive chunk of air into my body and yelled towards the stunned Minotaur.

"Ahh!!"

But the movement-sensing pillars noticed my body motion and fired a barrage of spear-looking spikes toward me.

Few grazed my skin, while a lot of the spikes missed me, but a couple of them pierced into my shoulders and thighs.

I screamed and yelled in pain, with Jasmine yelling and shouting from afar, telling me to not give up.

She kept hitting the barrier with all her might as she tries to break the barrier.

The right word would be that she's trying to destroy the barrier as soon as possible.

She gritted her teeth and yelled for me to keep moving forward, even though she couldn't make eye contact with me.

I staggered towards the Minotaur. My body moved only by its sheer will to stay alive.

Just when I was about to plop to the ground in exhaustion from my bleeding body, Jasmine's voice rang in my mind once again.

A spear grazed the top of my head, forming a trail of blood trickling from the top of my head toward my eyes, nose, and mouth.

Meanwhile, the hands of the Minotaur were now twitching.

The Minotaur was waking up once again.

It staggered a bit while trying to get up.

I strode towards the beast with my long spear in front of me.

The spear lodged into the Minotaur's chest, where the Minotaur roared in excruciating pain.

"Finish it, Ace!!!". Jasmine yelled with tears streaming down her cheeks as she continued to land heavy punches toward the golden barrier in front of her.

Coming here in the first place was initially her plan, if I die here, it will be her turn to face the boss and if she dies as well, then all the remaining four Minotaur's will be spawned back to life once again.

And all our hard work will all be for naught.

"Ahh!!!" I yelled, with veins bulging from my head and arms, while landing my feet towards the end of the spear to thrust it deeper into the Minotaur's chest.

The Minotaur cried out with blood oozing out from all of its orifices.

But I equipped my silver sword, not granting the Minotaur any chance to stay alive before thrusting it deep into the Minotaur's skull.

The cracking sound of metal piercing through its skull was the last thing the Minotaur heard before the red negative figure floating on top it reached zero.

[Ding! Dead. You have killed a Minotaur. -50 damage has been inflicted on Target's HP. Dropped item: 11 gold coins. You have gained 25 exp.]

[Dead: 5/5.]

The battle logs notification appeared before me and I saw this as my chance to finally get some rest

After all, monsters that had turned into pixels couldn't reanimate back to life, so I could lie down with my mind at peace, knowing I had finally defeated the last Minotaur of the labyrinth.

"Hehe… Sophia, Alice, I'm a step closer to seeing you both again," My hands tried to reach my imaginary mom and sister who were both smiling at me.

I smiled with my eyes closed, and a solitary tear dripping to the ground.

But before falling asleep, I summoned my system, to take a look at my HP.

[HP: 2/20.]

"I seriously need to stop having near-death experiences," I smiled at my joke, seeing as how I barely escaped death once again,

With an exhausted sigh. My mind drifted into a deep slumber.

Half an hour later, I awoke to feel my head resting on something soft and warm.

Moreover, the scent I could perceive was both sweet and arousing at the same time.

'Aw, Yes, This is good,' I dug deeper, hugging whatever I was resting on without wanting to let go.

"Fufu… If you're this interested in my body, I wonder what your three girlfriends will think if they see you doing this,"

"I don't even have a female friend, so how can I have three girlfriends," An exhausted reply came from my lips as I continued to rest my head deeper on Jasmine's soft lap?

'Wait a minute. Did I just say Jasmine?'
