Chapter 349: Calamity Synthetic Beast King
When I entered the room of the last boss, I saw the dark summoner and two more enemies.
Dark Researcher Amisodaros?
? ? ?
Dark Alchemist Kasim?
? ? ?
Amisodaros...what is it? I think the name is Greek mythology, but it doesn't appear.
Kasim is probably Ali Baba's brother in 『Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves』. Why he's an alchemist is a mystery.
"Haha! Idiot! They really came for me!"
The girls ready their weapons. The glow of the Est Oracion illuminates the monster behind them, fortunately or not.
Disaster Chimaira?
? ? ?
Disaster is a calamity. Chimaira is the daughter of Typhon and Echidna in Greek mythology. She is the monster from which the word chimera is derived.
Its appearance is different from the Chimera I know. First of all, it walks on two legs and its hands are giant drills. It has a weird jewel on its chest, a goat face, a snake tail and even wings.
There was no way I could win.
"Welcome. To my laboratory. Freetia dog"
"You're in luck. You will be the first witness to our great work"
Let's be clear. I don't want to be. The girls attack at once. But the attack is blocked by an invisible wall.
"Kuku...it's no use. We're protected by this little chimera"
!The power of this chimera is absolute. It cannot be compared to items made by Newton and Einstein and their ilk"
The item that Einstein-san made easily unlocked the slave's collar? How can you compare an item to a monster in the first place?
"We will take revenge on those who denied us! Come on! Chimaira! Absorb the power of the magic ring and the magic lamp and revive!"
Energy is generated from a magic ring and a magic lamp placed in some kind of device and it flows into the chimera. I attacked it, but it was still no good.
Was that the magic ring from the story of Aladdin? If so, I have a bad feeling. Then I heard a voice.
『...Help!』
Was it from that ring?
I mean, this is totally personal. We're completely caught up in it. Well, I'm not going to let it slide because of Wako and the enslaved subhumans.
A red light dwelled in the chimera's eyes, and the chimera awoke.
"Guoooooo!!"
Then comes the info.
『World event 『Disaster Synthetic Beast King』 has occurred.
World Event 『Disaster Synthetic Beast King』: Difficulty A
Conditions: All players can participate, no limit on the number of helper NPCs who can participate.
Rewards: Rewards vary depending on the results.
Defeat the Disaster Chimera.
I knew it would come to that. My bad premonition really comes true.
Amisodaros and Kasim are excited to see the Disaster Chimera waking up.
"Haha! The experiment was a success!"
"I knew I hadn't made a mistake in choosing a human brain with growth potential!"
A human brain with growth potential? You mean the children!
"Haha! Super excited! It was worth all the trouble I went through to collect the materials of summon beasts and monsters!"
And this is the guy who collected the materials for the chimera?
"Now! Chimera-chan! Let's kill them, shall weーーeh?"
The dark summoner's body was pierced by tentacles extending from a disastrous jewel near the chimera's heart...and the dark summoner dried up. So...that's what this is all about.
"Everyone...close your eyes. Better not to look"
The girls meditate. Good girls.
"Hey, hey! What! This! This...is...not...what...I...heard. Help"
The dark summoner became a mummy, eventually turned to sand and died. So this is the end of the man who played with subhumans and summoned beasts so much.
"He's a fool. Come on, chimera. Make daddy's wish come true"
Amisodaros' head flies off under the tentacle attack. The tentacles penetrate his body and neck and eventually turn to sand.
"Hi!? Hiiiii!? Help! Mom!"
Kasim desperately tries to escape, but the wall is in his way and he cannot escape. The wall wasn't protecting them...it was used to keep the prey from escaping.
"Hi, Hiiii! W, Why! Why don't you listen to me!"
"...Of course"
"Wh, What?"
"You have been playing with summon beasts and monsters for too long. It is the one who knows everything you have done. Don't you think it's only natural that it should be scandalized?"
I can't imagine how much pain they must have caused. I can only say that Disaster Chimaira will never forgive these guys. As Kasim exclaims, a tentacle catches him.
"Hiiii! H, Help!"
"I'm sorry, but I don't think we can afford it. Teleport!"
I teleport away and use Scarlet Ring to break the device and retrieve the magic ring and magic lamp. I am sure this will be useful and I must retrieve it. I use teleport again and return to the girls.
"We have no more use for this place. Let's get out of here. Everyone"
『Yeah!』
"W, Wait! H, Help! Gyaaaaaa!"
Kasim was eaten dead by the chimera. Maybe this is what happens to those who fall into the darkness. Malice calls forth malice and it returns to you.
We run down the aisle and away from the chimera. It was a mistake not to choose Spica. As we run, debris falls. Ix shoots it down, which is a big help.
"Ta, Takuto-oniichan! Nyurunyuru is coming from behind!"
"Ah, they're going after Ion-chan!"
"Don't be horrified! Lily!"
We can't keep running away from this. Shall we play our trump card? Tentacles are closing in. It's unavoidable!
Then a huge arm crashes through the ceiling and crushes the tentacles. This is it!
"Ahaha! I'm here to help! I guess this makes up for all the help you gave me!"
Aladdin and Jin!
"Shut up! Aladdin! Hey! Don't just stand there, get up and fly! I've broken the barrier, so you should be able to summon them!"
"Ah! Legion Summon!"
I summoned Spica, loaded him with Koihi and walked out through the hole Jin had made for me.
"It's not helping...or...it's coming!"
Tentacles came out one after another from the hideout.
"Don't touch those tentacles! You'll be turned into sand! Get away from me!"
Everyone distances themselves from the tentacles.
"What's that! I'm super scared! Jin, let's just get out of here"
You're going to run away right away? No, I'm very grateful for the help. But Jin's answer was something Aladdin did not expect.
"I'm afraid I can't do that. Aladdin"
"Why not?"
"Because this guy has the magic lamp now"
Ah, I knew it would go that way. I'm glad I kept it.
"Eh!? Give it back! My lamp"
"Fine"
"Huh? Easily"
"But you owe him more. Aladdin. What are you going to do?"
Aladdin looks shocked at Jin's words.
"Ah! Mou! I'll fight! That's what you want! But Jin has to fight!"
"I'm on it! I can't handle this guy alone"
"Eh!? Even Jin!?"
"My power and that of the ring bearer have combined...and under the influence of that power, the monster' power seems to have been strengthened. It is stronger than those gods. This guy"
A foe stronger than God! Thanks for the info I didn't want to know! Anyway, let's pull back to safety...
As I'm thinking this, Disaster Chimaira busts through the hideout and appears. And then Disaster Chimaira looks at me and its eyes light up.
"Get away from me! Spica!"
A flash of red is shot at me, but I evade it with the illusion of Spica. I thought I was going to die...
"You're irresistible"
"...You can afford to joke about that"
"You're kidding, right? Well, it's the ring you're holding that I'm after exactly"
So obvious...now what do we do? Then the chimera started moving. Where is it heading?
"It looks like it's on its way to destroy a country called Elixir Lapis..."
"How do you know?"
"Because I can hear the vindictive voices of the people who made it that aren't worth listening to. Would you like to hear it too? And you can hear the kids he ate while he's at it"
"I refuse. I can imagine what it would be like"
It is definitely a sickening story. Sorry, but I'm not in the mood to hear it. So this confirms that we're heading to Elixir Lapis...okay.
『Mel. It's me』
『Ah! Finally, a transmission! Are you alive?』
『At the moment...call Ruin-san. The name of the last boss is Disaster Chimaira. Its strength is at a level stronger than those gods. The enemy's target is Elixir Lapis』
『Wait a minute......I was just told. So Cain-san sent us a request...he wants us to buy him some time』
So that's how it's going to be...we're going to have to stop this guy...we're going to have to do it.
『Mel and the others』
『You're not going to tell me to go home by any chance, are you?』
『No, how are you going to fight?』
『We can fight if we ride summoned beasts, right? It seems like everyone has done it before』
Not everyone...haa. Mel knows that if this happens, she won't be able to leverage it.
『Okay...I'll join you guys once I get there』
『Yes!』
All gather and discuss.
First of all, the only people who can ride and attack the chimera are me, Hix, Stra and Spica. Darley would be tough.
The rest are Al-san's Lesser Griffon and Wyrm and the rest are wiped out. There were people with horses and naumann elephants, but it will be tough for a chimera attack. Probably because every attack would be an instant death.
"I think it would be better to split up into two groups, one to attack immediately and the other to attack with traps and ambushes"
"That would be nice"
Then Jin speaks.
'If you intend to take it down, you'll have to break through its barriers first to do any damage"
That wall...it didn't spook the girls with their attacks, did it? But there is someone who might be able to break through.
"...Tesshin-san. Can't you cut it?"
Jin answers my question.
"Impossible. It is not a soft barrier that can be cut with skill. It's a combination of me and the guy with the magic ring"
"Then why don't you break it?"
Aladdin is right.
"There is no way my attack will work on someone who has absorbed a small amount of my power. Fortunately, the demon god is a mass of power. They have no concept of protection"
"Admit it! It's still Jin's fault that I always die!"
"...You shut up for a minute. The barrier is reinforced, but not that strong. A powerful technique of my class that has not been absorbed by him should be able to break through"
They all look at me. I look at Takuma and Aroma. They shake their heads furiously. It's already my turn to do it. I certainly have a trump card.
"I understand. We'll take on the challenge first. We'll play all the trump cards we can use and somehow find a weakness or something"
"All right"
After discussion, Mel and Tristan-san get on Spica. Chiffon and Risa get on Hix. Yoichi-san and the others get on Stra.
Al-san and Tesshin-san get on Al-san's Lesser Griffon and Rekka, Takuma, Aroma, Kai, Shizuku and a mage whose name I don't know. I'll leave it to them since they are recommended by Rekka.
The rest of the team was in charge of traps and ambushes. The command will be fine with Mangetsu-san and the others.
"...Nii-sama, this is for you"
Mirai handed me an MP potion.
"I don't use it anymore and I'm sure it's best if Nii-sama uses it"
Then everyone handed them to me one after another. Am I going to drink all of these at once? Impossible, isn't it? Well, I'll be grateful to use it. Well, let's go.
