"Hah… Hah… Hah…" Vina breathed heavily while holding her knees, bending her body forward while trying to suck all the air around her. The destination that was supposed to take ten hours was done within twenty minutes. As a result, she was totally exhausted and panting crazily, but crazy enough, it was just her who suffered.

She glanced to the side. Guild Master Rodin was smiling at her. She was a little out of breath but looked perfectly fine compared to her. She then observed the traveler's party. A few of them were also panted, but still much better compared to her. Then she looked at the edge of the pit where the

beastmen, the party leader, the female elf, and the red-haired woman stood. The four did not even sweat, and they did not even look exhausted at all. As if traveling was nothing to them.

After the talk, the traveler party allowed two people from the guild to follow them. Rodin chose to bring Vina with him because she seemed to know the most about the traveler. As he joined the trip personally because he wanted to witness how strong the travelers were. Could the travelers beat the Elemental Minotaur? He believed they could; hence he followed them.

"Take your time," Rodin tapped Vina's shoulder twice before approaching the pit, the Elemental Minotaur's nest. The pit constantly released hot air, and he could feel the extreme heat assault his face.

He spread his mana to block the heat and looked down at the pit. Of course, the reason he approached the pit was not to see what was inside but to eavesdrop on what Tang Shaoyang talked about at his party. He wanted to hear how they planned to fight the Elemental Minotaur.

"Who's going to take that bull head?" Rodin heard the emperor's voice. The moment he heard the question, he felt something bad was about to happen.

"It's Epic Rank, not much help for me to level up," Ava backed down from taking the minotaur as she knew Tang Shaoyang's intention. He wanted Liang Suyin to take the minotaur down alone so she could get the solo contribution.

Goldien nodded, "I think it benefits La— General Liang more than us if she defeats the minotaur alone." He was about to say Lady Liang but changed midway. The beastmen was aware that Liang Suyin did not like being called lady when they were in official business.

Everyone was aware that Liang Suyin was the lowest rank among them, so she was the best choice to face the Elemental Minotaur. No one mentioned her rank out of consideration.

"Alright. I will finish it off quickly," Liang Suyin looked down at the pit. The heat wave hit on her face, but it was nothing to her since she was also a Fire Elementalist. Everyone nodded; no one doubted her, even though the enemy had the same elemental.

On the side, Rodin's heart skipped up as what happened in his mind happened. His guts told him that the party would only send one person to fight the Elemental Minotaur, and it happened.

The Elemental Minotaur with the fire element, Blazing Horn Minotaur. The guild itself did not have much information about the monster since this was the first Blazing Horn Minotaur that was born near Murika Town.

Rodin tried to exchange more information with the other guilds in the other towns. But the exchange of information was too slow since they did not have long-distance communication. The distance was not the only problem, as the bandit was one of the factors that slowed down the exchange of information.

However, there was one thing that he could confirm, a lot of adventurers lost their lives to this monster. He also almost lost his life to this minotaur during the raid, yet the traveler only sent one person to fight the minotaur.

Guild Master Rodin wanted to warn Tang Shaoyang about how strong the monster was, but he shut his mouth upon hearing the beastmen's next words, "General Liang is over five hundred levels above the bullhead. It should be over in a few minutes."

Rodin blinked his eyes a few times, processing Goldien's words. 'Over five hundred levels?'

The level difference between him and the minotaur was just a few levels, meaning the red-haired girl was also over five hundred levels above him. It was a lie if Rodin was not curious to find out the other adventurers' levels, but he was wise enough not to do that. If the red-haired woman was over five hundred levels above him, the Emperor and the others must be higher than him too.

While Rodin's thought was preoccupied with the level gaps, Liang Suyin jumped into the pit. The pit was not as deep; everyone could see the bottom of it. Rodin snapped out of his thoughts and came closer to the pit. The pit was around thirty meters deep, with stairs looped around the wall. On top of that, there were many big holes in the wall. The wall was the cave for the other minotaurs. That was right, the pit was the minotaur's nest, and the Elemental Minotaur was the leader of this nest.

However, Rodin's eyes focused on the giant figure in the center of the pit, where the Blazing Horn Minotaur was seated on its throne made of bone. The two pairs' horns blazed in fire, were seven meters tall, and had four hands. Next to the Elemental Minotaur was its weapon, The Blazing Ax. The battle-ax's blade was blazing in the fire; hence people called it Blazing Ax.

Guild Master Rodin's eyes fixated on the monster and the falling figure. He did not want to miss the battle. As the red-haired woman was about to land on the ground, Rodin suddenly felt a force on his left shoulder, pulling him off the pit.

"What are you—" His words were cut off upon seeing who pulled him back. Rodin thought it was Vina who pulled him, but the Golden Gator.

"Don't get too close to the pit if you want to keep yourself safe," Goldien warned the Guild Master in a cold voice.

Rodin did not get what the beastmen tried to say, but three seconds later, he understood the warning. An extreme beat hit his back. Despite the armor on him, he felt the heat scald the skin on his back. He turned around and saw a pillar made of fire shoot up to the sky.
