chapter 6 the beast

... Damien had successfully taken out all bow and magic users ,this gave him and Aria an advantage they could now fight freely ,slowly but surely the picked off the last of the enemies staying reasonably cautious as they fought for their lives ,now nearing the end of the onslaught a huge minotaur is brought forward in chains the bandits release the creature and run ,with all the bandits gone out of fear of the Minotaur ,Aria and Damien are left to deal with it ,the 2 are visibly exhausted no amount of mana and health potions can relieve mental fatigue the sheer fact that they had been battling for the last at least 6 hours and that most of the village had been destroyed had really set in for the two of them ,they tried to compose themselves but before they could do so the Minotaur started charging at them Damien had pushed Aria out of the way and taken the full brunt of the Minotaur's blow crashing him straight into the wall of a nearby home ,Aria slowly raised herself up from the ground as the Minotaur hit Damien into the wall ,the minotaur had obviously taken some damage from the recoil but this beast was crazed and fully ready to kill them both ,as the dust settled and she saw Damien with one of the Minotaur's horns poking through his already wounded arm ,potion may heal hp but they don't heal broken bones and sprains ,that would require an elixir but sadly something so expensive could not be found in this kind of village and so he had no way to treat his earlier injury but still he took the Minotaurs blow knowing what would happen and this was the result ,the Minotaur now recovering from the recoil pressed into the wall harder knowing his horn was crushing Damien's arm ,Aria let out a cry thinking it had pierced his chest and that he was already dead ,she had begun to break down but her cries made its way to Damien's ears and his heart ,"system full power..."he whispered as he uttered the words the world went blank....
