The minotaur's club strikes carried enough force to shatter stone, but the coordination between Noah and Leo allowed them to avoid the most dangerous attacks while landing their own strikes consistently.
Minutes passed in intense combat that pushed all three fighters to their limits. The mana and health enhancements prevented fatigue while accelerating recovery from minor injuries, allowing Noah and Leo to maintain peak performance throughout the extended engagement.
Noah's wind manipulation created air currents that disrupted the minotaur's balance at crucial moments.
The strikes accumulated damage despite the creature's high defences.
Leo's combination of size manipulation and skills allowed him to nearly match the minotaur's physical capabilities with the enhancements Noah provided.
The turning point came when Noah managed to land a perfect strike against the minotaur's weapon arm, his blade severing tendons that controlled the creature's grip strength.
