Playing With Other Supernaturals

Volume 7 Chapter 351 - VS Minotaurs

While leading the Minotaurs using her chains and large scythe, Medusa 'looked' back and 'saw' that the executives of the Loki Familia are following her while recalling Kisuke's reminders, 'We need witness, right?'

Kisuke reminded Kuroka and Medusa that they can't hide their abilities forever, especially when they can fight those beyond their levels which seems to be a very rare feat, and it's better to have someone vouch for them in case of someone questions them. And that someone would be better if they have real power in Orario, which, in this case, the Loki Familia.

Medusa then took out a token and broke it. Once she did, it should send a signal to Kisuke that Loki Familia would be the witness and he will be sorting out things on the Goddess' side.

After informing, Kisuke, Medusa then secretly sent a message to Kuroka so that she wouldn't needlessly expose herself to the Loki Familia. For her, since this is not her usual form, she would act like she's related to the two unknown people that they met on the deep floors that has an unknown goal.

A few minutes later, Medusa got Kuroka's signal pertaining to the trio's exact location and the route that she has to take to lead the Minotaurs because Kuroka will be blocking some paths so that the girls would be trapped.

"Hey, you!!! What are you doing with those Minotaurs!?" Bete shouted from behind Medusa. Due to the speed that is the Minotaur is running, they are moving quite slow for their levels, however, since they're guarded against Medusa, they couldn't carelessly approach her, "These are the newbie's zones! You can't bring those monsters up here!!"

Similar questions came from Riveria, Tiona, and Tione, however, Medusa only ignored them and kept on diverting the Minotaurs path towards the upper floors.

A few minutes later, the mixed group of monsters and people arrived on the 9th floor. Medusa also took care not to meet any Adventurers and would take the roundabout way to reach certain destinations which were also noticed by everyone from the Loki Familia. Now they wondering how she is navigating through the Dungeon and figuring out where the Adventurers in advance while blindfolded.

When the Loki Familia was about to lose their patience due to how dangerous this stunt for Adventurers on the upper floors and about to stop the Minotaurs, Medusa guided them to a certain hallway which leads to a large room and she stopped running, prompting the others to stop too.

A few seconds later, Medusa herself entered the hallway and stopped before the entrance of the large room ahead before taking out another token. The Loki Familia also stopped not far away from Medusa wondering what she's trying to do and what is the Minotaurs doing in the room ahead before they heard a shout of desperation, "Dammit!!! Kaichou! Koneko-chan! We have some pass by them and run towards where we came from!"

Before the members of the Loki Familia could react, however, Medusa dropped the token in her hand. When the token touched the ground, it emitted a small light before a small shake in the ground happened which shocked everyone and put up their weapons against it.

Still not having enough time to properly assess the situation, another cry of desperation came from the room, "Wh-What!!? The tunnel collapse!!? How!?"

"…It seems that we're trapped in here."

"Aika… Koneko… We have to fight to survive… Or at least, until Kisuke notices what's going on here…"

Riveria and the rest finally figured out its rookies that are in the room, trapped with the Minotaurs, "This is bad… Ais, Tiona, Tione, Bete! Save them immediately!" The High-Elf decided to ignore the strange woman for now and prioritized saving the Adventurers. She doesn't know what the girls inside the room meant by trapped when there's clearly a path towards them, but she can just figure this out later.

Ais, Tiona, Tione, and Bete immediately moved but before they could reach the entrance, Medusa suddenly swung her large scythe towards them, prompting them to jump back to evade, "Hey! Are you trying to kill those girls!? If then, we won't have a choice but to fight you!" Tiona growled at her while the rest got ready for a fast clash to open up the path.

Medusa then faced them and said, "They won't die… So please don't interfere." To their surprise, the large scythe on her hand suddenly disappeared into motes of light including the chains that are connected to it. After this, Medusa walked towards the entrance to the room and stopped there, watching the clash that is happening in the room.

While the four are contemplating on what they should do, Riveria suddenly walked pass them, and to their surprise, she stopped and stood beside Medusa to watch what's happening, "Riveria!?"

However, contrary to their expectations, Medusa didn't do anything and just continued facing the room to 'watch' what is unfolding. After a few seconds of hesitation, the rest also followed suit and saw what's inside the room. Currently, there are three girls and six Minotaurs duking it out, but the first thing they noticed is the other entrances to the room are blocked with their hallways collapsed into rubbles which only made the entrance they're standing the only path to escape.

A few minutes earlier, Sona, Aika, and Koneko are roaming around the 9th floor, looking for Goblins and Kobolds that they could practice their moves on when suddenly, from the distance, they heard some roars of the monsters, "What was that?" Sona asked.

Koneko, who has the best hearing among them, answered, "…It sounds like the roars of the Minotaurs."

"Huh? But there shouldn't be any Minotaurs on this floor…" Aika asked in suspicion.

However, the roars kept getting nearer as time goes on and even Aika and Sona could confirm that those are indeed the roars of the Minotaurs, "Let's move to the room ahead. There should be multiple pathways leading to that room. We can decide which one we can take once we confirm those Minotaurs actions." Sona commanded and hurriedly entered the room in the room.

However, the three other paths that they're expecting are blocked by rubbles, as if the hallways collapse, "W-What's going on?" Sona asked in bewilderment while the group got closer to the blocked paths to inspect it.

However, before the other two could answer her, the roars of the Minotaurs suddenly sounded much nearer and they can already hear the hoofs hitting the ground, sending out tiny vibration through the floor.

When they turned around, they saw six Minotaurs, two of them with landform weapon clubs, came entering the room, blocking their only path to escape.

Assessing the situation is very dangerous for them, Sona instantly decided, "Aika, Koneko… Release your powers." She whispered to them while eyeing the monsters.

But when they released their powers, nothing happened. Something is blocking it. The three of them looked at each other in surprise and suddenly recalled Kisuke's words this morning, 'The Dungeon is strange today.'

If the strangeness of the Dungeon is blocking their real powers from manifesting, then they're now in a very dangerous situation as they can't take on six Minotaurs at the same time.

Looking towards the Minotaurs, Aika gritted her teeth and shouted, "Dammit!!! Kaichou! Koneko-chan! We have some pass by them and run towards where we came from!"

But due to bad luck, the last hallway collapsed on their watch, trapping them with the Minotaurs in this large room, "Wh-What!!? The tunnel collapse!!? How!?"

"…It seems that we're trapped in here."

Sona knew that they became restless, including her, because their situation just became worse from very dangerous to life and death situations. So in response to that, she tried to comfort them, "Aika… Koneko… We have to fight to survive… Or at least, until Kisuke notices what's going on here…"
