Chapter 97

“GGRUUUOOOHH!”

The massive beast continued to pulverize my Undead at an incredible speed, and the corpses of my Undead were sent flying everywhere, even more torn apart than before. But that was good enough for me.

However, I needed someone to distract this beast before it was to come after me again. It continuously targeted me for some reason, perhaps because it knew I was draining its Mana? Nonetheless, I need time to convert my newly created Undead into time bombs.

“Lucifer, Emeraldine, Partner, Kuro… I am counting on you! Distract the beast! I got an idea of what we can do!” I shouted before taking action.

“It’s not like there’s any other option than fighting…!” Said Lucifer, enhancing his body with magic and rushing forward with his draconic body.

“Leave it to us, Maria-sama, please, do what you must do!” Said Emeraldine.

Her two spirits danced around her as she conjured several roots of trees growing around the beast’s legs, keeping it in place temporarily with all her might. Also, using her other spirit, the spirit of light, to fire beams of light over the beast’s eyes.

She combined this with Lucifer’s power, as she blinded the monster while keeping it in place, while Lucifer slashed, bit, and burnt the creature as much as he could, but even with all his efforts, the damn monster was barely budging. Throwing fist attacks and demonic energy beams was all it could do, but Emeraldine protected him by setting up a protection spell over him.

“For Master, I’ll give my life!” Partner roared as she jumped from the ground and spun as if she were Beyblade.

Her spear blade slashed through the chimera’s other three arms, and repeating the attack, she slashed through another arm while Kuro roared loudly. He supported her with his long-ranged attacks, and strong claws and bite.

As I saw everyone working hard and doing their best for me, I couldn’t help but smile proudly at the companions I’ve made on this journey. It hasn’t been that much time, but I’ve already made good friends that are willing to put their lives on the line for me. And I really appreciate that! Leaving all the irony I cover myself in aside, I am almost moved to tears.

I quickly filled myself with all the resolve I could muster as I felt as if my body suddenly began to overflow with power. This was merely the shared power with Laura, and her unique skill allowed me to share it. Although she was obviously way weaker than me, thanks to her Unique Skills, I could utilize a power I could never have been able to use before.

Laura’s Unique Skill, named Detonation, allows her to make objects into explosives which she can then edit the intensity of their explosion. However, this intensity is also dependent on her Magic Stat and costs a lot of Mana to make into powerful bombs. Due to that, even now, after leveling a lot, she’s not strong enough to fight this beast.

But I am. I have tons of Mana and Magic, and I honestly never considered she could just do this to help me, but it seems that she can just choose anyone as a “Twin” through her Twin Connection Unique Skill as long as they’re cataloged as allies, she trusts, and I seem to have finally filled that quota.

The corpses began to gather around me as I moved at a fast speed. My thoughts flashed with countless considerations as I waved my hands, and my Staff did the rest. Dark and phantasmal energies gathered around the corpses, and I combined Fake Life with Undead Healing to combine several torn apart corpses into larger, grotesque, and more robust Undead.

I raised over a dozen in the span of just three minutes as my allies did everything they could to distract the chimera.

Quickly, I touched all of them at once through the expansion of my shapeless phantasmal body that I made into a mass of black shadow tentacles.

I suddenly felt something strange by touching them and activating the Unique Skill: Detonation. I saw the illusory imagery of each Undead becoming a bomb as if there was a timing I could set.

I could make them explode right away or leave a timing for them to explode.

It was an interesting power, and the more Mana I decided to pour into the Undead, the more power and intensity their explosions would be… alright, let’s do it!

I infused large quantities of mana into all of these grotesque chimeric Undead before ordering them to run straight into the chimera beast!

“Now, go!”

“ROAR!”

“GROAR!”

“GROAN!”

“GRAA!”

Their monstrous groans resonated across the corridors as I smiled rather confidently while thanking these friends for the sacrifice they would make for a chance at victory.

Lucifer was being beaten down into the ground, but I quickly expanded my shadows and wrapped them around the remaining two arms of the Chimera, as I used [Summon] to summon all my allies near me and bring them outside of danger in just a split second.

“Unngh…! About time…” Muttered Lucifer.

I drank the four Mana Potions I had stored and recovered some Mana, using it to heal my allies. While Emeraldine healed herself by drinking a mana potion, the chimera beast managed to finally break through the roots around its legs and quickly began to charge towards us, but the twelve Undead I had created rushed forward and reached it in an instant!

“GROOOARRRR!”

The creature roared monstrously as it used its giant arms to throw away my Chimeras.

But that was the time I moved my fingers and pretended I was an infamous serial killer.

“Killer Queen has already touched those Undead,”

“GRAH?!”

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

The moment the chimera moved the Undead away, they all began to glow with bright red and dark energy, and the second after, a beautiful spectacle of fireworks greeted our sight, as I created a barrier of shadows to shield ourselves from the explosions.

BOOOOOMMMM!!!
