Chapter 119: Finishing the Job

After a not very long time, James had managed to get quite far away from the chimera group following him and Miracle in his arms. Thanks to the size of the labyrinth, he was really able to dodge them to some extent.

With the traps he had taken out of his inventory, he had set enough traps in an area of almost 400 metres to send him to prison in the real world.

Chimeras were living beings, and so James' title of scaring the undead was useless to them. Unlike their creators, darkness made them stronger, and it was in James' favour that the maze was always light.

On top of that, James had one of the chimeras' two greatest weaknesses, ice and fire, which meant he had a huge advantage.

"Listen to me carefully, Miracle. When the traps I've set are activated, I want you to breathe as much fire as you want, fill that corridor you see over there with flames." James suddenly said the help of a Supreme Dragon was not to be missed.

James' hand was full of advantages, but that didn't mean everything would end. Just by the sight of them, it was easy for James to realise that hundreds of them would come against them.

In short, an army of chimera, an army as powerful as the one that attacked Leno, was coming towards James and Miracle.

Okay, that was a bit of an overstatement, after all, as James realised, the chimera that attacked and killed Leno was a High Chimera.

According to the monster catalogue James found and read in the imperial library, High Chimeras were the masterpieces of Chimera Creators. In short, dozens of Chimera Creators would come together to create one of them.

So it would be foolish to say that the army coming towards James was full of such beings, but that did not mean that they were not close to those beings.

Maybe they weren't High Chimera, a higher race, and maybe they could have been killed in a single blow with Selene's Throwing Knife, but it should be known that there were many of them and the types of monsters were different.

This meant that James had to fight against an army of hundreds of races combined at once.

Again, this did not mean the end, the traps set, Miracle's presence and James's fire element. They could get out of this danger.

James' words seemed to enter the mind of his little girl Miracle as she stood in her dragon form and waited in a seated position on the ground.

James seemed to have taken the right side and Miracle the left. They were either going to get out of here or they were going to die here. It was impossible for them to kill Miracle, but it would be quite easy for James to die.

The young man James took a deep breath, he had no fear or anything. He was actually glad that he was going to get more gacha chances, he had managed to gain 3000 rights just from the zombies he had killed, and now all he had to do was cross this floor and wait in the white area for a while and he would use all his rights.

'TUMP!'

'TUMP!'

'TUMP!'

'TUMP!'

'TUMP!'

'TUMP!'

'TUMP!'

'TUMP!'

One after the other, the sound of the tumping echoed through the labyrinth and the voices were getting closer and closer. seaʀᴄh thё nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Get ready, Miracle!" James said, and as he uttered those words, dozens of chimera began to emerge from the folds at the end of the corridors.

Each of them saw James and Miracle behind him and suddenly started running.

The sickening sound of their blood-filled feet hitting the ground was truly nauseating. James waited a few more seconds for them to arrive and then sent his magic back to Clarent.

A flame spell the size of a huge quarter moon travelled at an incredible speed and then literally cut several chimeras in half and dropped them on the traps.

"NOW!" James shouted and activated the traps on his side.

Immediately after James shouted this, a huge amount of mana gathered behind him and a beam of light flared up and began travelling towards the chimeras on the left.

James was acutely aware of the heat source rising behind him, his back was literally sweating.

However, every one of the traps had worked. In the corridor to the right, flames were bursting into flames and the screams of mindless monsters trying to run over them could be heard:

"HIIELP MEEE!!!"

"SWAAVEE UUGHSSS!!!"

"TUAKE OUR LUIFEEEEEEE!!!"

"END IT OULLL!!!"

"FINISHG THIS PAIN!!!!"

The screams were so frightening and blood-curdling that James couldn't help but pause. The souls inside the chimeras, or rather, each of the souls were screaming for help, James' blood froze, and his whole body trembled.

However, these spirits could be free now, James knew that killing them was the only favour he could do for them.

James paused as the flames slowly began to die down. On Miracle's side, it was already over, over three hundred chimera had been reduced to ashes as they came towards the little girl.

On James' side, there seemed to be nothing left, as the notification window that suddenly appeared in front of him showed him:

[12th Floor Cleared!

Congratulations on clearing the 12th floor, Mr Umbra!

You have been awarded the floor reward of choosing an Unusual card!

150,000 Gold prize awarded].

When James read the notification he saw in front of him, he took a deep breath and then smiled and rejoiced that he had indeed succeeded. He had done an excellent job setting the trap and getting Miracle's help.

[Well done James, it was a beautiful sight.]

James smiled as he watched Nyx's message to him and then asked, "Emma, can you send me to the white space please?"

When he noticed the gate opening in front of him, he picked Miracle up and then said to his little girl, "Good girl." and walked through the gate.

After entering the passage, he sat down on the ground and began to breathe in and out continuously to relax his mind. The sounds of the Chimera seemed to affect him.
