Chapter 176 - A minotaur crashed the party

But there was no time to wallow—Haruki felt a looming presence of death behind him.

Reflexively, he leapt into the air, carrying Lanling with him. The wind shield dissipated the moment they left, just as a massive hammer crashed down where they had been.

BOOM!

The sheer impact shattered the marble floor, leaving a crater in its wake. A chill ran down Haruki's spine.

"Uh, Lanling~ We have a problem," he murmured, cautiously landing atop the largest chandelier. Below them, the ballroom was in chaos—the once beautifully conjured night sky had vanished, torn apart by the rippling force of various offensive magic.

Lanling narrowed his eyes. "What kind of problem?"

"A big one. About half the size of an average oak tree. Red-skinned, large black horns, bull-headed, and rippling with muscles."

Lanling stiffened. "A minotaur?!"

"MOOOOO!!!"
