Chapter 181 Chimera
Chimera was the most terrible threat to mankind during the apocalypse.
This hybrid monster that could be found only on the deepest pit of the abyss floor had the body of a lion with crocodile skin and the tail of a scorpion.
At the front, there were two snakes on top of the heads of a lion emitting fire and ice. Right in the middle of the two was a goat's head with bipolar horns.
The monster was still flying around the sky of Perm City by spreading its giant wings shaped like the wings of a bat.
The adventurers trembled in fear upon seeing that figure. Their faces were deathly pale as if today would be the last day of their lives.
"No…"
The creature then began to lower to their level, and a gust of wind began to hit the adventurers. But they still froze.
"RUN!"
Instantly the adventurers came to their senses. They quickly ran away before their bodies were crushed by the chimera's giant feet.
Thud!
The entire surface of the ground shook as the chimera landed. The snow that covered the streets of Perm City was scattered.
Behind the scattering of snow, six pieces of red light glowed.
Grrrr!
The roar of a lion was heard, sending chills down the spines of the adventurers. And that was when the scattered snow began to disappear.
The 10-meter tall monster looked down on the adventurers around it. As if those adventurers were parasites that had to be removed.
Not long after, the two lion-headed snakes began to roar.
ROOOAAAARRR!
The adventurers collapsed, and their ears started to bleed. The roar shattered the eardrums of anyone who heard it.
After that, the two snakes' heads spewed fire and ice, sweeping away the adventurers who were at the Earth Realm stage.
People started running, dodging the deadly attack.
At the same time, the tail of the chimera, which was shaped like a scorpion's stinger, shot out its prickers in succession.
Phew! Phew! Phew!
Thousands of stings stabbed the adventurers.
Splat—! Splat—!
"Arrrgh!!"
The snow that was scattered on the ground turned red. The bodies of the adventurers shattered into pieces from being hit by the giant stinger.
There were a few who managed to dodge the stinging shot just now, but their heads felt dizzy.
"Arrrgh!"
"Hurl!"
Their faces turned dark. The skin of their body turned purple. Their mouths kept spitting out blood.
It turned out that the sting contained a deadly poison. Even if there were no significant injuries on their bodies and only minor scratches they had, it seemed that it was enough to influence them.
The situation became chaotic. The adventurers started to fall apart because of the chimera's rampage, as they started running away and were only trying to save themself.
Despite the deplorable conditions, there were still people who had not lost hope.
"Everyone stay calm. No matter how fierce a monster is, it can still be killed!"
The one who called out was Argus, the only Saint Realm in this battle. He and fifty members of the Black Company charged at the monster.
Argus led his men to aim for the goat's head.
The Saint Realm fighter continued to strike lightning like a hurricane. Meanwhile, his men chased away the two lion-headed snakes so as not to disturb Argus.
Seeing Argus fight valiantly, The other guilds didn't want to be left behind either.
The red-armored warriors, the Red Keepers, joined in attacking the chimera's body. Then followed by Blue Pegasus members casting spells raining down on the chimera with various elements.
A group of women led by a red-haired woman also joined the battle. "Shield Maidens! Attack!"
Viez, along with thirty women, began to attack the tail so that the attack of the sting did not spread to kill the adventurers.
The Chimera was getting overwhelmed.
As the four guilds stole the spotlight, the other guilds finally joined in on the attack as well.
Fire, lightning, earth, water; various elemental spells, and physical attacks pierced the chimera.
From the back row, one could see people wearing white robes. They didn't carry weapons like the other Guilds. But they cast healing spells on adventurers.
"We, from the Holy March, will support you as much as possible to keep you alive."
The healed adventurers suddenly felt a great power coursing through their bodies.
"This is… buff?"
The white-robed people nodded.
So, the confidence of the adventurers returned after getting the buff. They returned to the fight and helped the thirteen guilds who were fighting.
There were now thousands of people, both Sky Realm and Earth Realm, fighting. Those who were injured, then returned to the backline to get help from the Holy March guild.
All became united, hand in hand to beat the chimera who dared to threaten the city where they lived.
Argus as the leader in this battle fought the most aggressively. His body continuously emitted yellow lightning that struck the three chimera heads.
At the same time, he launched a barrage of physical attacks.
Thrust! Slash! Stab!
The thrust of the spear imbued with high-voltage lightning made the chimera goat's head scream in pain.
On the other hand, the thick crocodile scales that protected the chimera's body began to tear. Blue blood started to flow out.
"Keep attacking! We can do it!"
Argus continued to encourage everyone. He believed that this vicious creature was able to be killed, and the adventurers around him believed in Argus.
But they were wrong.
Grrrr!
The two lion-headed snakes began to growl, after which they let out a mighty roar.
ROARR!
The roar was enough to make the adventurers immobile. After that, the chimaera flapped its wings and swept over the thousands of adventurers around it.
Swooosh! Thud—!
"Arrrrgh!"
Dozens of Earth Realms were instantly killed by the attack just now. Even Argus bounced off, dragging Viez with him.
"Kwaaargk!"
Viez and Argus rolled on the red snow thirty meters from the incident.
They'd probably still got flown away if Viktor hadn't caught them. Even Viktor was pushed five meters back by catching them both.
"Hold on!"
They both looked concerned. Viez's condition was still improving, but Argus, his mouth kept bleeding because he got direct contact with the attack of chimaera's wings.
Argus tried to get up, although his condition had not recovered. "We have to stop it."
While the chimaera was floating in the air as high as 50 meters from the ground. His entire injured body slowly recovered.
Seeing the chimera slowly recovering, the adventurer's face turned grim. All as if what they were doing was in vain.
The same view was also seen in the face of the members of the 16 guilds.
The leader of the Red Keepers, who had looked so fiery during the battle, had now turned languid.
In both mouths, the lion-headed serpents emitted light, one was a fiery red light, and the other was ice blue light. Then the two heads spouted ice and fire at the same time.
"Quarrgh!"
Dozens of people burned and froze at the same time.
Luckily the Shield Maidens members had already retreated when they saw their big sister being blown away by the slash of the wing.
"Sister Viez!"
They simultaneously approached Viez, who was kneeling in exhaustion beside Viktor and Argus.
Viez, with her pale face, was still trying to smile, seeing thirty of her girls survived.
Then Viez turned to Viktor, who was looking at the scene in front of him.
"Boss, are you not going to help?" Viez coded Viktor.
And Viktor knew it. In his hand, he was squeezing the Witch's Pendant. Inwardly Viez's question made him laugh a little, couldn't she see how big the monster was. What was the use of a metal guardian against that monster?
On the other hand, Viktor didn't know his heart was beating fast, and his hands were shaking, but he knew it wasn't because of fear. He wanted to know if he could fight this monster.
Unknowingly, Viktor's hand was already gripping the Witch's Pendant, ready to let it go. But suddenly, a large flash of light struck the Chimera monster.
BLARR!
The chimera that was floating in the sky was knocked to the ground.
Everyone who had resignedly accepted death was shocked as they saw a blinding light suddenly hit the chimera.
"What? Are we still alive?"
"What just happened?"
"We're not dead?"
Above the head of the Chimera goat head, was seen a man wearing silver armour with a sword and shield.
The man had long golden hair and sky blue eyes. The sword stabbed into the goat's head.
After that, dozens of silver-armoured soldiers plunged from the sky, surrounding the lying chimaera.
"Sorry, we came late!" The golden-haired man exclaimed.
Seeing that figure, the faces of the people who were full of question marks brightened. It was as if God had sent a hero to them.
"Ah! He came—!"
"Radcliff! That's Derrick Radcliff!"
"Heaven's Will guild master!"
"The strongest fighter has arrived! We are safe!!"
