“Strengthen the troops!”
ㅤ
Sir Wilfred’s proclamation echoes throughout the dome.
ㅤ
The extermination team attacks the immobilized chimera.
ㅤ
“Keep attacking! Magic doesn’t work, but weapons do! The snake’s head won’t regenerate as long as we’re dealing damage!”
ㅤ
“””””Uoooooh!!!”””””
ㅤ
Luke’s rallying cry leads the extermination team to charge at the chimera with war cries.
ㅤ
“Gyaaaah!!!”
ㅤ
The chimera’s scream thunders.
ㅤ
The rock vine restraint holding its neck shatters.
ㅤ
Still, the chimera can’t regain its footing under the relentless attack of the extermination team.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“The interval between flame shots is 30 seconds! Decide before the next one comes!”
ㅤ
Luke prepared the Ideograph Sword, focusing his consciousness.
ㅤ
He absorbed magical power as the blade extended.
ㅤ
The Ideograph Sword was a magical sword that increased in attack power as it absorbed magical power.
ㅤ
By wrapping Luke’s immense magical power around the sword, he could even cleave through a dragon.
ㅤ
However, the chimera, serving as the dungeon boss and a wounded beast, sometimes exhibited strength beyond imagination.
ㅤ
“Gwoooooah!!!”
ㅤ
The chimera trembled all over with a roar that shook the ground.
ㅤ
The raiding party was thrown back by the shock.
ㅤ
The goat’s eyes gleamed brightly, and the lion’s throat swelled with redness.
ㅤ
(N, No, it hasn’t been 30 seconds yet?!)
ㅤ
Chimera fired flames towards Luke.
ㅤ
No, it was no longer flames; it was a heat ray with power and heat far beyond ordinary flames.
ㅤ
“Kuuu!”
ㅤ
As he prepared his sword to face the oncoming heat ray, a shadow leaped in front of him.
ㅤ
“Alma!”
ㅤ
Alma’s armor, bathed in the heat ray, heated up and gradually melted in front of Luke.
ㅤ
“Alma! Dodge it! Like this, you’ll. . .”
ㅤ
Luke shouted.
ㅤ
Even so, Alma kept standing.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“I. . . I don heavy armor!!”
ㅤ
With a proclamation, Alma’s armor shattered.
ㅤ
Alma, now a giant over three meters tall, charged at the chimera while pushing aside the heat ray.
ㅤ
She grabbed its neck and toppled it to the ground.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“Luke!!”
ㅤ
“Oh!!”
ㅤ
In response to Alma’s cry, Luke leaped into the air and swung his sword down towards the chimera.
ㅤ
Luke had long seen that the goat’s head controlled all three heads of the chimera.
ㅤ
With a heavy sound of flesh, fur, and bone being severed, the goat’s head flew into the air.
ㅤ
ㅤ
A moment later, the body convulsed briefly, then collapsed to the ground, motionless.
ㅤ
“Did we. . . really. . . do it. . .?”
ㅤ
Tyrone muttered as if he still couldn’t believe it.
ㅤ
ㅤ
Soon, magic essence flowed out of the chimera’s body like drifting sand.
ㅤ
At the same time, the magic circle for area sealing also dissipated, and the invisible force field that had enveloped the area disappeared.
ㅤ
“Defeated. . .”
ㅤ
“We really defeated the chimera!”
ㅤ
“We defeated the dungeon boss!”
ㅤ
Finally, a sense of accomplishment in defeating the chimera emerged, and a victorious roar echoed within the dome.
ㅤ
“Phew~.”
ㅤ
Luke took a deep breath and sat down on the ground.
ㅤ
Placing the Ideograph Sword on his left hand, it crumbled as if melting, integrating into his prosthetic hand.
ㅤ
It was a tough enemy, but we managed to defeat it.
ㅤ
Even so. . .
ㅤ
“I. . . still have a long way to go.”
ㅤ
Murmuring to himself while watching the jubilant raiding party.
ㅤ
“We defeated it.”
ㅤ
At that moment, a voice echoed from above.
ㅤ
Looking up, there was Alma.
ㅤ
Naturally, the Demonstration Armor was still not deactivated.
ㅤ
Alma, with a thud, sat down next to Luke, causing the ground to shake.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“Amazing, Luke. You really defeated that chimera.”
ㅤ
“It’s not just my power.”
ㅤ
Luke shook his head.
ㅤ
“This is everyone’s achievement, especially Alma, thanks to you. I really appreciate it.”
“Luke. . . it’s not. . .”
ㅤ
“It’s not like that, Luke.”
ㅤ
Sir Wilfred arrived at Luke’s side.
ㅤ
“Thanks to you, I was able to defeat my grandfather’s enemies and reclaim the dungeon. This chimera subjugation is undoubtedly your achievement. If you don’t take pride in it, we will lose our position. Humility is a virtue, but sometimes it becomes a bad habit of not properly assessing one’s own worth.”
ㅤ
“No.”
ㅤ
Still, Luke shook his head.
ㅤ
“I ultimately misjudged the chimera’s final strength. If I had analyzed more accurately, I wouldn’t have put everyone in danger. I’m here thanks to everyone, not just my strength.”
ㅤ
“You really are something else, seeing far beyond what I do.”
ㅤ
Sir Wilfred chuckled and extended his right hand to Luke.
ㅤ
“Nevertheless, a victory is a victory. Let’s savor this joy. Such moments are necessary too, right?”
ㅤ
“Yes!”
ㅤ
Luke grasped his hand strongly and stood up.
ㅤ
ㅤ
ㅤ
“. . .And yet, this is my daughter Alma, right? What kind of magic did she use? Why is she still in armor?”
ㅤ
“Don’t ask, don’t tell.”
ㅤ
Alma shook her head, walking heavily beside Sir Wilfred, who looked on curiously.
ㅤ
“Sorry, it’s my fault. . .”
ㅤ
ㅤ
As they returned to the guards, some were gathered around where the chimera had been.
ㅤ
They looked at the ground with interest.
ㅤ
“Look, something from the chimera is left behind. What is this?”
ㅤ
Where the chimera had disappeared into magical essence, a blue liquid spread.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“This is. . . chimera blood.”
ㅤ
“Chimera blood?!”
ㅤ
Sir Wilfred exclaimed at Luke’s words.
ㅤ
“That means. . . it’s an ultra-rare material for elixirs!”
ㅤ
The Elixir called “Reviver of the Dead” is treasured across the continent as the highest quality magical potion.
ㅤ
However, due to the difficulty in obtaining its main ingredients, its price is terrifyingly high.
ㅤ
“I believe the recent market price for chimera blood was one gold coin per teaspoon. . .”
ㅤ
Luke looked again at the puddle of blue blood spread on the ground.
ㅤ
“That should be worth about 10,000 gold coins, I guess.”
ㅤ
ㅤ
“”””Wowwwww!”””””
ㅤ
The dome was enveloped in shouts of joy.
ㅤ
ㅤ
“Gather it! Don’t leave a single drop!”
ㅤ
“Incredible! It’s my first time seeing chimera blood!”
ㅤ
“This promises a bonus for sure!”
ㅤ
ㅤ
“Luke, you did really well.”
ㅤ
Sir Wilfred placed his hand on Luke’s shoulder.
ㅤ
“Thanks to you, it looks like we can pay off the debt. No reward would be enough for your accomplishment. I will definitely thank you properly.”
ㅤ
“No. . .”
ㅤ
Starting to speak, Luke stopped, then smiled at Sir Wilfred.
ㅤ
“Yes, let’s enjoy this victory for now.”
ㅤ
“That’s the spirit!”
ㅤ
Sir Wilfred laughed heartily, putting his arm strongly around Luke’s shoulder.
