Fortuna's eyes were red, and its expression ferocious. “There it is! That's it! Hahaha! I've found it. I've finally found it! Today, we fight to the death! Die! Die!”
With that, it transformed into a ray of golden light that pierced through the rubble and flew straight toward Minotaur.
Glee surged through Minotaur after it had trapped Zeke and his companions under the debris. The beast prepared to step forward and trample the group to death, but right at that crucial moment, a streak of golden light shot out from under the pile of stone fragments. It was so dazzlingly bright that Minotaur could not open its eyes.
Minotaur panicked instantly. D*mn it! What was that golden light? Why does its aura feel strangely familiar? In fact, it feels a little... threatening.
Opening its eyes, Minotaur scanned the area. As soon as it saw the main body of the golden light, it inhaled sharply. There it is! I can't believe it! The King of Dragons is back? How can that be? D*mn it! F*ck! I must be seeing things. Its soul disappeared back then, so how can it still be alive? What the heck is going on?
Fortuna fixed its eyes on Minotaur. Its lips were curled into a vicious smile, and it looked furious. “Minotaur! Oh, Minotaur! Do you still remember me?”
Moo!
Minotaur bellowed loudly in response. “A-Are you King of Dragons? H-How are you still alive?”
Fortuna replied, “You guys aren't dead yet, so how can I die? Today marks my official return. I'll also take this opportunity to officially announce that Theos Island will fall under my rule once again, and all traitors must die!”
After saying that, its body suddenly swelled several dozen times bigger until it resembled a long, winding river with no end. With a roar, it rushed toward Minotaur and snaked its body tightly around the latter in the blink of an eye.
Minotaur struggled and jerked its body angrily but to no avail. Fortuna was too tightly wrapped around the former that there was no way of breaking free.
As for Zeke and the others still trapped under the rubble, they were also somewhat perplexed. Did Fortuna really go out there to battle with Minotaur? It looks as though Fortuna has Minotaur in a deadlock. And judging from Minotaur's tone, the thing seems afraid of Fortuna.
Sole Wolf asked cautiously, “Zeke, who exactly is this Fortuna? Why does it seem as though it used to reside on Theos Island?”
“And it used to have the fire seeds?” Killer Wolf added.
“Come on. Let's go out and take a look.” Mustering his strength, Zeke used his energy to blast through the rubble and flew out.
Minotaur and Fortuna were still in a stalemate, both evenly matched.
