Blood stained the flagstones in dark, spreading pools.
The air was thick with the metallic scent of blood and the dry, dusty odor of rock.
Torches burned with cold blue flames along the walls, casting long, flickering shadows across the floor.
Brandon and Rheanne stood back-to-back in the center of the chaos.
The Minotaurs roared and charged from all sides.
Four of them came at Brandon at once with their axes and spears raised.
He exploded forward.
Using a burst of enhanced speed, he dashed low between the first two, slashing upward with his sword in a powerful rising cut.
*sleesh* The blade carved through the chest of one Minotaur and caught the second across the throat.
Dark blood sprayed in wide arcs as both creatures staggered.
Without stopping, he spun on his heel and delivered a devastating spinning kick to the third Minotaur's knee.
The enhanced strength shattered the joint with a sickening crack, dropping the creature to the ground.
