[HD] Familia Myth: Bell vs. Sword Wielding Minotaur

[@DarkHorseJ27]

Bell encounters his worst nightmare on steroids, and instead of running away or letting someone save him, he grows a pair of iron balls and literally destroys his worst fear. Simply inspirational.

[@bleep9458]

yeah, this is asterius.

[@carlitosalsvoyage2683]

Funny, i had the same dream when i was 20 yrs old. The guy i fought never backs down nor have fear his eyes, of course i fear no man, since my father always tells me that fear is an imitation of mind, everyone have fears, animals have fear, wild beasts have fear so in order to overcome that fear you must become their fear and insert dominance,. But the problem with that person is that he has none of those, no fear, no emotion, like a doll, yet i can see his fierce eyes telling me that he will kill me, it was the first time i feared a man, but its quite ecstasy of excitement for the Man to put me in a state. So we fought to death, since i only know basic kendo and iado techniques, and a little boxing and jui jitsu, i was confident i will win, but he was like my nemesis, even all of my skills put to the test, i cant beat him. We were exhausted after a few hours of killing one another, the thrill to put yourself in the line of life and death. At the Eve of our fight he stopped and laugh, he says to me this,. "You, really are strong, i must say, even the basic principles of fighting, you can still survive." As he laugh he also said this "You and me are destined to fight forever, whatever timelines or lifetimes, we will fight forever and you can never beat me, since i am You, be seeing you then Carl". And there i woke up, full of sweats and my blood was pumping like hell as i smile. The problem of this dream is like none of any other dreams, we dream and after we wake up we cant remember almost half of we dreamt, but this dream feels so real and even after 3 years i can still remember his words and moments inflicted in my mind. I think i fought the best version of me and that is my true fear. You can never beat and best fear, even if you can overcome it, its still there but one thing for sure, to face your fears is to become fear and learn how to control your fear since humans will always be coded with this kind of feelings and emotions.

[@natedavies954]

Thanks to Lili's push, Bell is able to defend. With her life in his hands, he begins to fight. With Aiz's power, he takes control. And after finally wounding the Minotaur, uses its own power to deliver a devastating blow. But to truly reach inside, exceed his limits, and defeat an enemy bred to fight? In that moment, he stopped trying to be a hero and became one.
