85-Episode 85: Wriggles and Attackers

The boy's magic expanded the underground water vein, and we came to the shore of the underground lake.

I ended up going with the chimera because I was the one who made it, but I didn't want to go to a watery place because I felt my body would rot.

Light ball

If you deploy the light magic to illuminate the surroundings, you can see that water is flowing in from other places such as the ceiling and walls of the underground lake as well as the passage we came from.

It seems that all the underground water in this area is designed to flow to this subterranean lake.

"It's pretty wide... and deep...?

The woman known as Foca, who was looking around, screams.

"What's the matter, Saint.........?

And the big man who was about to ask Foca, was it Lisou?　I was surprised to see a lot of chimera in the subterranean lake under the magical lights.

It's no wonder, then, that in the subterranean lake, illuminated by the magical lights, there were a great many chimeras swimming around.

They are long and slender, resembling snakes, and look like both fish and dragons.

But above all, I remembered this chimera very much.

"Is this all ... a chimera?

A frivolous man named Roddy backed away involuntarily.

It's not surprising to see chimera swimming in a subterranean lake this large.

It's just plain creepy.

But these chimera all look the same.

They don't appear to have been brought here by more than one aquatic chimera.

So the reason for that would be.....

'Look!　Bottom of an underground lake!　There's a pile of demon bones!

At the sound of someone's voice, I looked down at the chimeras and noticed that the bottom of the subterranean lake was covered with bones.

I couldn't tell how deep the water was because of the transparency, but it was still a lot of bones in a lake this big.

And if they were making this much noise, the chimera would naturally notice us.

All the chimera come up to the surface of the water at once.

Everybody stay back!　They're going to drag you inside!

As expected, he's used to fighting, and as he's used to fighting, he recovers from his confusion and steps back, pulling the chimeras to the ground to make a battlefield.

Several wizards and archers attack the lead chimera from a distance.

But they are blocked by the chimera's scales, so it doesn't seem to do much damage.

If those chimeras are what I think they are, they can't be defeated by that level of attack, of course.

Impulse Spear!

Freeze Geyser!

There are some attacks that have worked for about two people, but well, there's still a lack of hands.

And so the chimeras land on shore.

Some run dexterously with arms and legs that are small compared to their size, while others wiggle their bodies like a snake.

It's very instructive to see them in action.

And as soon as they closed the distance between them and the front runners, the white war began.

"Seyaa!

f*ck you!

A number of warriors attack the chimera, but the weapons are chipped off rather than breaking the scales with their catastrophic weapons.

"Whoa!　My sword!

"d*mn it!　I just bought a new one!

I'm sorry to hear that.

"Lord Ganey, help!

Lissou will come to me for help.

Well, you'll have to cooperate, or the boy will get scared.

"Well, it's no use, Area Enchant Arms.

I give magic power to the weapons of the warriors around me.

The warriors' attacks, which were dwarfed by their scales, now pass through the warriors' scales and tear the chimeras apart.

What a waste.

"Hahaha!　This is awesome!

'Oh, the chimera is like butter!

Well, it's all thanks to my magic.

Give me some help.

I'm with you!

Don't rush the old man.

Hey!

And some of the warriors used their own magic or the magic of their friends to defeat the chimera without my help.

The two warriors who fought the demon-created chimera, Lissou and Rody, fought the chimera on their own with the help of their friends.

Hmmm, well, well.

Taa!

In the meantime, a girl is waging a lion's rush to fight.

It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on a new one.

It's a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

Yes, that girl is a head or three above the others.

''Mach Slasher!

And then an insane little boy was running over the lake, tearing through the chimeras in the water with a slashing shockwave.

"Wait a minute, what is that boy doing?

It's not a magical way to float.

I'm not sure if it's the same thing.

It's a good idea to use the same kind of magic that is used to make your own personal computer.

Also, when he cut the surface of the water, the water was obviously tens of meters deep and was cut in half.

The water in the subterranean lake was so torn apart that it looked as if the water was escaping from his attack, and the bones at the bottom of the lake burst with such force that a rain of bones rained down on the lake's sky.

''Hey, Lex!　Don't be too flashy!

Oh, I'm sorry, Miss Liliera!

The little boy on the lake apologizes to his daughter who was fighting the chimera.

Mmmm, tell her more!　

Due to the hard work of the serious and ordinary warriors and the success of some insane little boys, the battle against the chimera was stalled with a slight advantage.

Nevertheless, the number of chimeras was large.

Even if we had the upper hand, we would inevitably be outnumbered.

''God, bless the wounded with healing.

Foca and the other monks bring the wounded back to the front to be healed with healing magic.

The wounded warriors are able to return to the front line of battle thanks to the healing process, but the number of wounded is gradually increasing.

In addition, the loss of blood when they are wounded has made it difficult for the wounded warriors to move around after being healed so many times.

This is not good.

If we don't, the amount of stuff we have will push us over the edge.

'If we don't, we'll be pushed over the edge!　Let's get back to the path we came from and cut down on the enemy's attacks!

Lissou, who may have thought the same thing, gives instructions.

The passage we've been through is not very wide.

The hole is widened by the boy's magic, but it's better than being surrounded by a large hollow space with an underground lake.

The warriors immediately fell backward and returned to the path they had taken.

The chimeras, not wanting to let us escape, will come after us from the two roads, land and waterway.

Yes, it's tricky to be surrounded, but it's also tricky to be attacked from the waterway in this narrow path.

Claycraft!

Instantly, the wizard fills the surrounding waterway with earth magic.

The momentum of the underground water vein coming from upstream won't last long, but still, a temporary foothold has been created, making it easier for the warriors to fight.

I'm sure the wizards of today are quite good.

By the way, Lex is still fighting on the lake, is he okay?

I'm sure the boy is still fighting on the underground lake when he notices Foca's words.

There are so many chimeras that they failed to join us.

'Don't worry about Lex-san!　Because that man would be much stronger on his own!

The warrior's daughter said some unreasonable things, but I think she was right, so I decided to keep my mouth shut.

I'm sure Lissou and the others wanted to say something, but they swallowed their words as if they were thinking the same thing.

It's difficult to know whether they are heartless or trusting.

It is difficult to know whether they trust him or not. We must concentrate on the enemy in front of us first!

""Oh!"

The warriors responded to Lissou's pragmatic statement with a lot of energy.

The chimeras that had been hiding in the subterranean lake a while ago had pushed them into a corner, but once the battle had begun, they were able to prepare themselves for the fight, which was quite impressive.

"Hmph!

The warrior attacked the chimera, and the warrior with the shield covered the chimera's attack as the warrior took advantage of the opportunity to swing down.

'Sorry, thank you!

Oh, you should thank me!

Then the wizard attacks the distracted chimera from behind as the warrior uses himself as a decoy to draw the chimera's attention to him.

Come on, Chimera, come on!

''Rock Bite!''

With the battlefield further reduced, those who couldn't go forward would wait at the rear to regulate their breathing and regain their strength.

The wizard who had run out of magic power took over with the one who was waiting and drank the mana potion so as not to break up the magical support.

The inability of all of us to fight means that we have the time to rest and recover.

I'm not a warrior who fights on the front lines, but this coordination is quite impressive.

There are still a lot of Chimera, but if we keep this up, will we be able to withstand them?

"Aqua-Burn!

The boy fighting over there is practically reducing the number of chimeras like a pincer movement.

The problem is, it's after this...

At this time, a large column of water rises in the center of the subterranean lake to confirm my concern.

And the water column rises to nearly the ceiling of the subterranean lake.

What the hell?

The fight stops for a moment as not only us but also the chimeras look in the direction of the subterranean lake.

As expected, he's alive.

I talk to it as it appears from the rising water column.

"What the hell is that big thing........

The warriors shuddered in surprise.

'Chimera's ... parents?'

That's right.

I say my approval to the warrior's words.

It seems that it has responded to my voice, and it appears from its throne called the subterranean lake and looks at me.

It seems to have recognized me, my birth parents.

You have really grown up, haven't you?

You have grown, and you are nowhere near as imposing as your king.

This is my masterpiece, the greatest Chimera, the one that took all the best materials, knowledge and experience to make it hold the pieces of white disaster.

His name is....

''Bastaaasraaaaaaaaaaash!

He was slashed in half.

''At least let me say your name!
