Beowulf and Nan-Zee make their way to the long-dead Crete, where they must enter the labyrinth of the Minotaur, and find the mythic fruit in the middle. The Minotaur is enraged when he sees Beowulf's helmet, which turns out to be the skull of another Minotaur. Meanwhile in hell, Satan sends Dracula, his new minion with vampiric power to suck dry Hrothgar castle. Satan also has a hold of the Minotaur, so that Beowulf cannot defeat it, but Grendel has had enough of Satan's games and ambushes him with a stalactite to the heart. With Satan's power lapsing, Beowulf kills the Minotaur, and eats the Zumak fruit, gaining immense power. He is prepared to fight Grendel.
