Chapter 21-2

Shooting yourself in the foot with an axe.

It was the perfect phrase for the chimera at that moment.

Kyaaaahhh! Kyaaaaahhhhhhh!

The chimera, with its reversed flame, writhed in agony, rolling over and over on the ground with pain.

It was no wonder, as the hot flames were burning its insides from within the throat. If it wasnt painful, it would have been even stranger.

[Finish it] Kairos advised Otto again.

Really? Wont it die anyway? Otto questioned.

[You fool!] Kairos exclaimed.

Huh?

[Show them! Your knights and soldiers!]

Oh Otto understood what Kairos meant.

Performance.

Kairos wanted Otto to appeal to his subordinates loyalty and respect by showing them how he bravely defeated the terrifying monster chimera.

As someone who had even been an emperor in his heyday, Kairos knew how to win over his subordinates.

Come on Otto reached out and grabbed the club.

Ssshhhh!

Then, the club, which had been deeply lodged in the chimeras throat, came back towards Ottos grip.

Otto tried to catch the returning club gracefully, but failed.

Ackkkk! Damn it Hot hot. So hot! Otto screamed in pain.

The club was hot from being lodged in the chimeras throat, and Otto ended up with a burn in his hand from trying to block the chimeras throat.

[Endure it! This is the mace you called for! Resist with all your might!]

Aaahhh!

[Go and finish him off! Quickly!]

Even though his hands were burning, Otto gritted his teeth and approached the Chimera.

Rooooaaarrrrr!!!

And then he swung his club towards the suffering Chimeras head.

Splat!

It sounded like a watermelon being crushed, as the last remaining lions head was buried.

Thud!

And the Chimera fell down.

O-Our lord Lord has defeated the Chimera Our lord has defeated the Chimera!!!

One soldier shouted.

Yaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!

A cry of victory resounded.

[Notification: You have defeated the Chimera!]

Otto smiled as he looked down at the Chimeras corpse.

[Notification: You have secured the trade route!]

[Notification: Progress has been made in the Build a Dynasty quest!]

Thanks to Chimeras defeat, the progress of the Build a Dynasty quest increased.

Ugh! Otto was in pain.

This time, it wasnt necessary, though?

Is that so?

You went too far! Did you do it on purpose?

No.

What do you mean no?! You hit me on the back of the head for no reason!

Well, yes, but

I wasnt worried about getting robbed because I was talking to Kairos well and we come to understanding!

Is that what happened?

Yes!

Im sorry. I was just worried about your safety

I dont care about your concern.

Otto looked at Camille.

You were just thinking, How can I hit this b**tard once right?

Thats absolutely not true.

Ha! Thats ridiculous.

I swear its not true.

Ill let it go this time, but if it happens again, I wont stay quiet. Will you take responsibility if I get dementia from the concussion? Huh?

Ill be careful.

How long has it been since I passed out?

A day.

A day?

Ottos eyes widened.

If its been a day what time is it now?

Its 1 p.m.

Let me see whats the time now?

After checking the date and time, Otto jumped out of bed.

No way!

Why? Whats wrong?

I have to meet a guest!

Is someone coming?

Yes.

If you have an appointment

Screw the appointment!

Otto quickly changed his clothes.

By now, the Ego Merchant Corps should be passing around here!

Um?

We have to make a deal! A deal!

Otto said that and hurried away.
