God's Slave: Reincarnated Into an Academy of Heavenly Descendants

ROOOOOOOOAARRR!

A powerful thunderous roar boomed out from the maw of the hideous creature, the shockwave slamming into Nolan, whose hair crazily ruffled around his head from the power contained in the roar.

Standing over 12 feet tall, the Minotaur towered over him, its hulking frame casting an imposing shadow across the arena floor.

Its muscular body was covered in thick, coarse fur, mottled in deep browns and blacks.

Its bare chest and arms rippled with raw, unyielding strength, veins bulging beneath its skin, giving the impression that it could crush boulders with its bare hands.

The Minotaur's horns were its most fearsome feature—sharp, jet-black, and spiraling outward from its skull like twin spears.

Each horn was stained with battle scars and dried blood, a testament to the countless foes it had impaled.

Its head resembled that of a monstrous bull, with deep, burning red eyes glowing with savage, insatiable rage.

HUUUMPH.

HUUUMPH.

Its snout constantly flared, releasing bursts of steam with every breath.

In its enormous hands, it wielded an axe twice Nolan's size.

The creature's hooves shook the entire ground as it marched toward Nolan, wielding its heavy axe with precision.

In the next instant, the axe was brought forward, aiming directly for Nolan's head.

BOOOOOOOOOM!

A powerful explosion rippled through the entire arena as the axe slammed into the ground, carving a meter-deep hole.

The Minotaur's eyes scanned the battlefield, searching for Nolan, but before it could react...

RUUUSSTLLLLE.

The sound of the air rustling reached the Minotaur's ears.

It quickly turned its head to the side, only to find nothing—just the glint of a dagger that rapidly magnified in its vision before...

PUCCCHIIII!

ROOOOOOOOAAARRR!

The sound of something digging into flesh rang out, followed by a distressed roar as Nolan drove his dagger into the Minotaur's eyeball, tearing downward and roughly ripping apart half of its face.

BOOOOOOOM!

The air quaked from the power of the blow as Nolan quickly retrieved his dagger and dashed backward, narrowly avoiding the massive paw that passed by him by mere inches.

ROOOOOOAAAR!

Another beastly roar surged forth as the Minotaur, ignoring the wound on its face, raised its heavy axe and cleaved downward toward Nolan, who immediately slashed out with his dagger.

DIIIIING!

BAAAAAAANG!

The sound of metal clashing echoed through the arena, followed by the ground caving in.

Nolan's feet gave way as he was smashed into the ground, the axe landing just beside him.

Ignoring the painful reverberations in his hands, Nolan hurriedly climbed up the axe, which was immediately lifted by the Minotaur.

He leaped away from it, soaring forward toward the beast's face.

ROOOOOAAARR!

Immediately, another thunderous roar erupted from the Minotaur as it slammed its gigantic palm down.

The shadow of the hand covered all of Nolan's vision, yet he only smiled as a fiery red chain-dagger appeared in his hand.

He instantly linked it to his dagger, then swung it forward toward the Minotaur's other eyeball.

RIIIIIIPPP!

ROOOOAAARR!

Another distressed roar echoed as the Minotaur's second eyeball was destroyed, yet its massive hand continued slamming toward Nolan.

Tugging on the chain, Nolan was quickly pulled forward, avoiding the swinging palm by mere inches.

In the next moment, he kneed the Minotaur's snout.

Immediately, the Minotaur swung its axe toward Nolan, who was still perched on its face.

A sick smile appeared on Nolan's face as he leaped away at the last second.

RIIIIIIPPPPPP!

The sound of flesh being cleaved through echoed as half of the Minotaur's face was cut off and sent flying into the air.

Calmly, Nolan landed on the ground, looking sadly at the enormous beast, which soon collapsed in on itself, half of its head having been severed.

The Minotaur had tried to kill Nolan, who had been perched on its face, only to cleave its own face in half, ultimately killing itself.

It was nothing short of a sad end to its story...

[MUAHAHAHA!!!] The system's mocking laughter rang out, without a trace of pity for the dumb Minotaur.

[The idiot is just big and fearsome but lacks brains. Its axe is so heavy, even for itself, and its reactions are like that of a child. Dumb piece of trash. Who even placed this failure as the first trial?] The system's disdainful and mocking tone for the now-dead creature was evident.

But Nolan's face immediately changed as he turned to the side and saw the cage at the far end of the arena slowly opening up.

Something far more monstrous and brimmed with an even deadlier aura could be felt within.

"It's done, yet..." Nolan thought to himself as he readied his dagger in his palms, waiting in alert for the next creature.

Somehow, he couldn't hear the sound of heavy stomping like before.

Instead, what he heard was the sound of a heavy, slithering movement across the ground.

His mind raced, wondering just what kind of creature this could be, but before he could even make sense of it...

VRRROOOOM!

A pillar of purple energy immediately shot forth toward Nolan.

His face changed at the suddenness of the attack, and he tried to run, but failed miserably...

BAAANG!

"Arrrgh!"

A small groan of pain escaped Nolan's lips as he placed his dagger before him, barely deflecting the purple beam.

Still, the remnants slammed into his body, scorching away his skin, and he was violently smashed into the arena wall, almost coughing out blood from the sheer force.

BOOOOOOOM!

Even then, Nolan wasn't given much chance to think, as he immediately disappeared from the hole in the wall, dodging a massive tail that slashed into the ground, sending cracks all over the arena walls.

"What the hell!!?" Nolan wondered as he finally caught a moment to breathe.

His head turned toward the cage, and his heart sank in fear.

It wasn't fear from his opponent's power, but because Nolan recognized the type of creature his new opponent was.

An exceedingly fearsome creature that he had only heard of in his wildest myths...
