Chapter 117.2: Catch Those Chimeras

I felt like I looked really adorable when I checked in the mirror though.

At least, Totona thought that my current get up was really adorable.

「TAKE THIS, MONSTER!!!」

A sand demon threw his stone ax at me. I quickly covered my cloth with magic to protect it. The stone ax then made a loud clanking sound as it struck my cloth, and fell to the sand.

「LIES?! IT GOT REPELLED! WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!!」

The young human girl shouted so.

「DUNNO!! BUT IT DEFINITELY CAME TO SAVE OUR A*SES!! CAN’T DENY THAT IT LOOKS RATHER BIZARRE THOUGH!!!」

It seems the travelers had finally noticed the awesomeness of this Medjed. But, it was still far too early to be surprised.

I focused my magic power into my eyes. Amongst the dragons who resided in my body, one of them had the ability to fire beams from their eyes. That was the ability that I was about to use.

「Finishing Strike! EYE BEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM!!」

ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!

The beam fired from my eyes raised a cloud of dust as it headed toward the sand demons.

「GYAAAAAAAAAAAA! RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!!!」

The sand demons turned tail and escaped.

Well then, this should save those travelers.

I turned towards the travelers as I thought so.

「HIIII! PLEASE DON’T EAT UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUS!!!」

A woman cried when her eyes met mine.

Eh? What’s with this reaction?

The beastfolk with a goat head stepped forward and stood in front of the woman as if to protect her.

Totona arrived during such a messed up situation.

「Are you Putaha’s magician?! Please save us from this strange monster!!!」

The traveler pleaded to Totona to save them.

「It’s okay. His name is Medjed. He won’t attack you guys.」

Totona said so as she stood beside me.

The beastfolk with a goat head heaved a sigh upon seeing that.

「Ooh!! So that strange monster is magician-dono’s familiar huh!! Maan, thank you very much for saving me and my wives, you really saved our a*ses!!!」

The beastfolk man with a goat head and the women bowed to Totona. The women seemed to be the wives of the beastfolk with a goat head. Polygamy was allowed in Gypseal. That’s why a man with more than one wife wasn’t that rare in this place.

But, seeing that all of his wives were beautiful women, this beastfolk man with a goat head seemed to be quite popular. And the youngest among his wives was still a girl.

I secretly cursed at the popular man before me.

「Don’t worry about it. By the way, what are you doing in this place?」

Totona’s question was logical since this place was far away from the highway.

「I’m a citizen of Knum Kingdom. Our child contracted a disease during our trip and now we’re heading to the nearby Putaha Kingdom, looking for a magician who can treat her… Turns out, taking a shortcut by straying from highway since we’re in hurry is a mistake.」

The beastfolk with a goat head explained so while hanging his head down.

The holy land of medical treatment in Gypseal was Heqat country. But, many magicians were also adept in medical knowledge. It was natural for people who lived far away from Heqet country to come to Putaha Kingdom.

And, I did hear that many beastfolk with goat heads like this man live in Knum country. He must be one of those beastfolk.

「That’s unfortunate indeed. So, any other people coming with you?」

「Nope, we brought a few human slaves, but unfortunately… They were killed by those sand demons.」

The goat beastfolk said while crying.

「Excuse me, Magician-sama!! Please take a look at my child’s condition!!!」

One of the goat beastfolk’s wives showed the baby in her embrace to Totona. The baby had a goat head. The gender was male.

He cried as if he was in pain.

「He caught a fever. Please wait a little bit.」

Totona invoked her spell as she spoke.

Thus, the crying baby calmed down.

「This is just an emergency measure. You still have to bring him to Putaha to get proper medical treatment.」

「But, we lost both our donkey and horse. Anymore than this, my wives’ feet…」

The goat-headed beastfolk said so with a troubled look on his face.

「Since that’s the case, then you can ride on this tank. It’ll bring you to Putaha kingdom.」

The goat-headed beastfolk and his family looked really surprised upon hearing Totona’s remark.

「What about you then, Magician-sama?」

「We don’t need this anymore.」

Totona then looked at me.

I nodded. It seems Totona had already noticed THAT too.

A huge shadow was approaching us due to the smell of blood. It’s strength couldn’t be compared to the sand demons we faced a while ago; it wouldn’t even be a comparison.

I assumed that the one approaching us was a chimera.

Since the other party came to us on its own, then we didn’t have to use this tank anymore.

「A chimera is coming towards us as we speak. You have to get away now.」

The goat-headed beastfolk and his wives’ face paled upon hearing Totona’s remark.

「A C-CHIMERA?! NO WAY! WE WON’T BE ABLE TO ESCAPE FROM IT!!」

「Don’t worry about us, you guys have to escape from this place as soon as possible. Leave that chimera to us.」

「I see, Your Grace surely has your own plan for driving this tank. I understand. Please be careful, Magician-sama. I’ll never forget this favor.」

The goat-headed man and his family then boarded the tank and went away.

There was no problem for everyone to get on the tank since the tank’s size was really big.

Soon enough, the giant shadow had finally entered our line of sight with the background of the setting sun. That shadow landed right beside the slain donkey. It had the head of a dragon, goat, and lion, and then the tail of a snake.

No doubt about it, that was a chimera.

Though chimeras couldn’t be seen in the eastern part of the central continent, they could be found in the western and southern part of the continent.

According to the seafolk, it seems they were treated as sacred beasts who represent the seasons of the destroyed Hatti, but in most parts of the central continent, they were treated as fire-breathing demon beasts of disaster.

That was also the case for Gypseal.

The chimera was currently greedily devouring the meat of the dead donkey.

It failed to detect our presence.

The chimera was a giant demon beast. Though it was smaller compared to superior dragons such as Glorious, it was much bigger than both Totona and me, big enough to swallow us whole.

I see, so this is a chimera.

Well then, what should we do now?

I recalled my first meeting with Glorious.

Glorious had attached himself emotionally to me the moment he saw me. Things might become easier for us if the chimera reacts in the same way. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝑒𝒷𝓃𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝑚

I decided to approach the chimera, and it was then that it suddenly raised a roar.

Its roar was filled with killing intent.

It seems things wouldn’t go as smoothly as I expected.

「GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!」

The chimera breathed fire from its dragon head while its lion head raised a roar, the horn of its goat head fired lightning towards our direction.

Though I’ve built resistance toward both fire and thunder, the same couldn’t be said for the cloth draped on me, it would burn to ashes and reveal my little DRAGON for everyone to see, so I used magic to protect myself.

Its snake tail then attacked us like a whip.

「GOD DAMMIT!!!!!!!!」

I dodged the snake tail and landed on the back of the chimera, and pressed it down.

The chimera who got pinned down by me was rampaging wildly, trying to escape from me, but I wouldn’t let it go.

I sealed its tail whip with a black thorn.

「Keep it pinned down like that, Medjed!!」

Totona approached the chimera and placed her hand on its lion head.

「DOMINATION!!」

Totona invoked domination magic. A veil of light spread from Totona’s hand, covering the chimera’s entire body.

The chimera rampaged violently.

「No way? Such strong resistance. Does it really hate to be dominated? What’s the meaning of this?」

Totona seemed to be troubled.

The chimera was still rampaging like before. So I invoked more blackthorns to keep it from rampaging.

Totona then used more mana in her spell, and the chimera gradually calmed down, until it finally showed its belly.

「Have you managed to dominate it, Totona?」

Totona nodded.

「Yes. I just never expected it to resist that far.」

「I wonder, why did it seem to hate us so much?」

I mean, I couldn’t help but be shocked to know that the chimera hated us so much. freew(e)bnovel.(c)om

「I don’t know about that. Let me ask it with magic.」

There was magic that allowed us to speak with animals. Totona was about to use that magic.

Totona used the magic and asked the chimera, and it answered with a groan.

「Uhm, ooh, I see now. Okay, it seems this fella hates Kuro— I mean, Medjed. It didn’t notice it at first, but it felt disgusted the moment you approached it.」

I was really shocked upon hearing Totona’s explanation.

Why, though? I mean, even Glorious liked me so much.

「I see now… Is that why it’s unwilling to carry me on its back?」

「I don’t know. Let me ask.」

Totona asked the chimera again.

「It’s going to listen to my command and carry you on its back despite its disgust.」

「Hee~」

I heaved a sigh, I wonder what made it hate me so much. Honestly, that was a mystery since the chimera itself said that it hated me for some reason.

That matter aside, we secured a vehicle.

「Let’s go, Medjed. The next stop is Arnak.」

「Yes Totona.」

The chimera flapped its wings as soon as we rode on its back, and then flew in the air.

The sun had already set.

The night sky in the desert was really beautiful with billions of stars filling it. I wonder, what were Reiji and the others doing now?

Since they wanted to save Shirone, I had no intention to hinder their actions.

Rather, I wanted to assist them.

That was what I felt as we kept flying in the night toward Arnak.
