What powerful attributes!
No wonder it could deal such high damage to the Two-Headed Demon Hound.
Its health had already reached 1,300 points, and its attack power was even more terrifying.
With the upper limit of 100 Attack Points and the additional 25 Attack Points from the skill, one club could directly deal more than 100 points of damage. It was very terrifying.
“If I had such a pet by my side, no one in the Beginner Village would be able to stop me.”
“Very good. Little fellows, attack in turns!”
This time, Lorne joined the fray. His magic attacks would have some effect on the minotaur, but more importantly, he had to constantly give commands to his pets, otherwise he would lose this fight.
The best solution now was to encircle it!
Using the Two-Headed Demon Hound’s agility and speed to slow the enemy’s movements, the Stone Skin Poison Toad was responsible for dealing damage and interfering with the minotaur’s movements.
As long as they cooperated well enough, he believed that they could easily win the battle.
[Double Bite]!
[Spew Poison]!
[Magic Bullet]!
A few skills hit the minotaur, but the damage was less than 70.
To kill this minotaur with 1,300 HP, he had to fight extremely carefully for several minutes.
Fortunately, the health points of the pets were quite good.
Two-Headed Demon Hound had 600, Stone Skin Poison Toad had 500, Lorne had 550, and the Vitality Slime had 300.
The total health of the team had already surpassed that of their opponents. Moreover, the Vitality Slime could still heal them, so there was no need to worry.
“Roar!”
A huge bone club swung back and forth, but it could not deal fatal damage to Lorne and his pets. Under the healing of the Vitality Slime, it could basically maintain its health above 70%.
Instead, under Lorne’s command, the minotaur’s health plummeted.
In less than two minutes, the minotaur’s health bar had fallen to 10%.
At this moment, Lorne began to control the rhythm of his attacks, preventing the monster from accidentally dying.
Soon, the minotaur’s health dropped below 5%.
Lorne immediately used the system.
“Ding!”
“Monster [Minotaur] has been confirmed as the prototype material. Please confirm other materials.”
Synthesize with what?
He had prepared for that already.
He took out a battle axe from his bag.
He threw it into the template.
“Ding!”
“A monster prototype and material have been identified. The synthesis formula is: (Minotaur) + (Crude Battle Axe) = (???)”
“The cost is 500 bronze coins. Would you like to merge?”
The fees increased again!
500 bronze coins was definitely not a small amount.
But Lorne was glad to see the figure, for the higher the cost, the better the result.
Therefore, without any hesitation!
“Merge!”
As soon as he finished speaking, 500 bronze coins disappeared from his bag.
But at the same time, an even more intricate magic circle appeared. The crude axe did not fly directly into the minotaur’s hand, but instead turned into a familiar light that infused into its body.
The minotaur’s appearance changed slightly in the light, and the bone club in its hand gradually transformed into a battle axe.
“Ding!”
“Merging successful!”
“Congratulations on obtaining the Elite Monster—Giant Axe Minotaur.”

Introduction: A Giant Axe Minotaur that has mutated from a minotaur. The sharp battle axe has given it even more terrifying power. Do not provoke it, or you will be chopped into mincemeat.

These attributes were too powerful!
It had 70 Physical Attack at Level 1. What would happen if it was raised to Level 10?
Looking at the panel in front of him, even Lorne was shocked speechless.
He could not imagine that a Level 1 Elite Monster could actually have such an incredible interface data!
Health Points: 800, Attack Limit: 70, and even Defense: 20!
But that was not all.
The most terrifying thing was the Giant Axe Minotaur’s [Powerful Battle Axe] skill. It increased attack by 40 points and dealt 150% damage!
Which monster of the same level could withstand such a terrifying outburst?
“Let’s first sign a contract.”
All the creatures that he had created could be directly contracted.
However, he only had three slots. He had to give up one pet and assign the spot to the Giant Axe Minotaur.
There was nothing to think about. The Stone Skin Poison Toad could be sent back to nature in advance. It was not that it was useless, but it was too ugly.
Shaking his head, Lorne let it go.
At the same time, he fulfilled his previous promise and used the ‘rock fragments’ to evolve the Stone Skin Poison Toad. In the end, its attributes improved slightly, but no new skill appeared.
…
After sending the toad away, Lorne looked at his new pet.
The Level 1 Giant Axe Minotaur was not very big. It was only 1.5 meters in height, and looked very short. Moreover, it seemed to be a little slow-witted. At this moment, it was looking at Lorne with its large eyes, and the ferocity from before was nowhere to be seen.
Looking at the beast skin armor on its body, although the thick and long beast fur was retracted, the savage aura was still revealed from the two-meter-long battle axe and the majestic muscles.
“Let me see how much you’ll change after you level up.”
Lorne nodded, then began distributing the experience points.
The experience needed to level up an elite monster was very high, especially the Giant Axe Minotaur. It was five times more than that of himself!
Just advancing from Level 1 to Level 2 required 500 experience points. It was simply a bottomless abyss.
However, when the golden light landed on it and he saw the change in its attributes, Lorne immediately felt that the 500 experience points spent was worth it!
