Seeing the charging bull, Leon squinted, and just as the fifth-floor guardian, the 2 Stars Boss, was about to strike him with its fist, he moved to the left. After dodging the blow, Leon slashed at the 2 Stars Boss, reducing some of his HP.

Two red damage figures floated slowly over the guardian's head. In just 1 second, Leon had caused almost 500 points of damage by using a physical attack and a magical attack! {A/N: Flame and lightning covered Leon's sword before the strikeQ}
The fifth-floor guardian did not seem to notice the attack and quickly struck the next instant again. Leon ducked slightly and was able to dodge the blow without too much trouble.
While still bent over, Leon opened his left palm and threw a lightning bullet into the monster's abdomen.
Biri~ Biri~
The 2 Stars Boss momentarily froze, and his body trembled violently as if he was having a seizure.

This amount of damage floated above the monster's head; however, instead of continuing attacking, Leon immediately fell back because his instinct told him so.
The moment Leon jumped, a high concentration ray pierced the ground where he previously stood; if he had not moved back after his instinct warned, he wouldn't have survived even with his Flame and lightning armor; he would have been obliterated because the place he stood had now a huge crater, it was boiling like an active volcano.
Swoosh!
The 2 Stars Boss immediately initiated a second attack when the first one failed. The guardian relied on Taurus's blessings to momentarily increase its speed; the monster reached Leon in an instant.
Then the minotaur struck with his right foot down, intending to crush him, but Leon's reaction was faster; he put strength into both legs and jumped backward while cutting with his lighting and flame-covered sword horizontally.

In less than one minute, Leon had successfully ripping away 1059 points from the 2 Stars Boss HP, reducing his initial 8000 HP to 6941.
This might sound unrealistic to some people because he was only one individual facing a 2 Stars Boss, something normally a group of five should fight against. Still, Leon knows better than anybody to never become conceited over such a small victory as he believed that from now on, it was not going to be easy.
Suddenly, a red glint appeared in the guardian's eyes, Leon's body tensed up, and he also opened his mouth.
Simultaneously, both roared.
''Mooooooooooooooooooooooo!"
''Roarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!"
Boom! Boom!
When the two roars clashed, it created a sonic explosion which produced an explosion that sent the two flying back. Due to the 2 Stars Boss huge build, he was only slightly pushed back while Leon's body was sent flying.
Following this event, something astonishing happened; the minotaur extended his right arm, and the ground shook; from the ground, stones rose to form a gigantic ax which the monster used to strike Leon with.
Leon's mind quickly raced to the extreme; he had never expected such a situation, so he was almost caught off guard but being genius when it came to fighting, he was able to figure out a perfect solution that would let him escape his current predicament.
In a split second, Leon found this solution; he immediately acted by pointing his left arm toward the incoming ax and shouted.
''Fireball!"
A huge fireball was shot out from his palm and directly clashed against the stone ax almost close to him.
Boom!
A terrible explosion occurred that swallowed Leon's body within.
''Ugh!" Leon grunted; unlike Gracier, he still didn't have perfect control over the Fire element as he has over the Lighting element, his inborn element; so when he got swallowed, Leon received a bit of damage.
-300
Swoosh!
Somehow, the 2 Stars Boss appeared where Leon was about to land and caught the stone ax and swung it with all of his might.
Everything happened too fast; Leon could not avoid the blow without sacrificing half of his body, so he chose to sacrifice his right arm instead.
Swoosh! Bang! Splash!
The huge stone ax touched the ground leaving a crater, and an arm flew in the sky.

Leon gritted his teeth and pushed his body back; flame appeared under his feet and propelled him back; at the same time, Leon decided to pay back the amount of pain he had received, even if it was a little.
''Firebolt!"
From the remaining arm, a small yellow flame was shot; however, it was not your normal fireball; this one had golden lightning continuously flashing around it; this attack was a mix of flame and lighting, two extremely destructive elements.
This small firebolt arrived before the minotaur like a bullet and struck his face.
Kagan! Boom!
The minotaur head was slammed backward as if a giant had struck his head with a stone bat.
A huge red notification floated above the head of the 2 Stars Boss.
-3050
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm''Mooooooooo!"
The minotaur roared pitifully before falling into the ground with a thud sound.
At the same time, Leon also reached the ground, but he couldn't land softly, resulting in him breaking his remaining arm.
Crack!
-800
''Ugh!"
Immediately checking his HP, Leon saw that more than half was gone; he ground his teeth and used his teeth to hold his sword while his eyes turned extremely vicious.
Lightning crackled across his body while flame appeared under his feet that propelled forward.
Swoosh!
Simultaneously, the minotaur happened to stand up at that moment; half of his face was gone because of the damage dealt by Leon's firebolt.
As the minotaur was getting angry because of the damage received, a small light flashed by, and the next thing the monster knew was that his vision shifted; his head was dancing in the air.
Critical hit
-4000
Thud!
Leon's body crashed on the other side at the same time this notification appeared.
[Ding... Congratulations to player The Proud Lion King for successfully clearing the third stage....]
Leon was too tired to continue listening to the notification; he closed his eyes and lost consciousness.
