The battle roared on. The previous demon wave the one that had retreated now rejoined the fight, merging with the tiger‑women and their monstrous mounts.Luke shouted:"NO MATTER WHAT WE WON'T STO..."A massive force slammed into him, knocking him off his horse.
Luke hit the ground hard, dazed, looking up to see what struck him.A huge demon in gold and bone armor towered over him.The Minotaur.Luke's eyes widened. "It's you…"The Minotaur growled, "I'm honored you remember me. This time, I finish the job."He grabbed Luke with one arm and lifted him like nothing.Luke coughed. "I should've known you'd be here…"Suddenly a skinny boy, maybe fifteen, stabbed the Minotaur in the side.The Minotaur dropped Luke and turned toward the child.Luke shouted, "NO YOU DON'T!"
He grabbed his blade from the dirt and attacked.The Minotaur drew his own weapon and countered Luke's strike perfectly.Clank.
Slash.
Clank.Steel on steel.Luke realized this Minotaur is skilled.Perfect footwork.
Perfect counters.
Every blow returned with precision.Luke dodged only by instinct not skill barely surviving each swing.The Minotaur swung again. Luke dodged but the Minotaur kicked him square in the chest, sending him crashing into the ground.Before the Minotaur could finish him Riot appeared.He deflected the killing blow, spun unexpectedly, and slashed the Minotaur across the chest but the gold and bone armor held.The Minotaur snarled:"I am as strong as a prince. You think you can kill me with tricks, child?"His eyes turned red.
His muscles bulged."I will show you skill and power!"He hammered Riot's sword with vicious strength, forcing Riot backward then down to the ground from sheer force.Luke rose eyes white, electricity crackling around him."You won't cause any more harm!"His blade glowed with electricity and purity.
He sliced straight through the Minotaur's back.The Minotaur roared, spitting blood."I WILL HAVE YOUR HEAD, HERO!"Even with the sword in his chest, he kept swinging blood spraying with every movement but Luke dodged calmly, knowing the fight was already won.The Minotaur dropped to his knees."This ain't over… hero…"Then he collapsed a massive lifeless body hitting the dirt.Riot stood, aura flaring.
Luke pulled his sword from the Minotaur's corpse.Together, they charged toward the next demon, helping their brothers and sisters in the epic battle. Toa, Tupu, and the Demon WomanIce shouted, "Tupu Toa we push forward!"Ice and Toa led the charge, attacking, defending, countering every blow.Toa slid under a tiger, slicing its belly open organs spilling out.
The rider screamed:"You peasant! You killed my pet!"She jumped off the demon woman with the massive curled horns.She attacked Toa with expert spear technique.
Toa back‑stepped, trying to counter but she knew every move he made.She struck him across the jaw with the back end of the spear, dropping him.On the ground, Toa looked up and saw his father, Tupu, fighting two massive demons.
It looked like a heavyweight bout Tupu fearless, powerful.One demon grabbed Tupu's arm and ripped it clean off.The other grabbed his remaining arm and tore it out of its joint.Tupu stood armless defenseless.Toa screamed:"FATHER!!!"But Tupu didn't look afraid.
He looked calm furious determined.He roared:"NO MATTER WHAT YOU KEEP PUSHING FORWARD!!!"He head‑butted the giant demon the impact sounding like steel on steel.
Blood poured from his forehead."FORWARD!!!"Five soldiers rallied, tackling the second giant demon and stabbing it repeatedly until its body was full of holes.The army surged with renewed fury.Toa rose aura flaring grabbed his sword, and charged the demon woman again.She showed her true skill clank, slash, clank back and forth.Toa's eyes turned white.
Electricity surged around him.She kicked him, sending him spinning backward and he saw Tupu's lifeless body on the ground.Toa snapped."I WON'T LOSE!!!"He came back stronger faster every blow overwhelming her.
Her confident face turned to fear.She screamed an alarm.A tiger charged toward Toa too fast to dodge.Ice appeared out of nowhere kicking the tiger aside, redirecting its charge."Finish her!" Ice shouted. "I'll handle this!"Ice spun his spear‑chain.
"You have your toys I have mine."Toa focused the demon woman tried to escape into the chaos.A human woman and man rushed her she killed the woman instantly with a spear to the head, then struck the man in the temple, dropping him lifeless.She sneered:"Why can't all you humans be this easy?"Then the moonlight vanished.She turned the moon wasn't gone.Toa was descending from above, blade in hand, fury in his eyes.She had no time to react.Toa landed the strike cutting her body completely in half, vertically.He hit the ground and sprinted to his father. Toa turned Tupu over his father on his last breaths."Father… it's going to be okay!" Toa cried. "MEDIC! MEDIC!"Tupu coughed blood. "Toa… stop.""No, father you're delusional from blood loss we can fix you!" Tupu smiled weakly.
"My son… you made me a very proud father…"He coughed again."Take care of your mother… I love you, son…"His eyes went lifeless.Toa screamed into the sky:"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"He laid his head on his father's chest, crying.Then something inside him broke.Toa stood tears in his eyes picked up his sword and walked forward.Every demon he saw Toa slained down effortlessly.
