Chapter 217: Brutal Fight With Chimeras

Jim was petrified for almost a few seconds while watching the two giant chimeras standing beside that kid.

Each monster had two heads, bodies covered in fire, and they looked very intimidating and deadly.

'Run you fool!' the old man screamed and Jim was jolted awake at this moment. He didn't hesitate to turn around but he paused when he spotted the surviving rhinoceropards still chasing him.

"Damn!" he clenched his fists and glanced at the two monsters in hesitation.

"Just drop any hope of running away," the kid laughed, "you are going to fall here, no way to escape this anymore."

Jim watched that annoying smile over the face of the chimera kid and felt utmost rage. However he tried to find a way to run.

Strangely his mind couldn't provide him with any path to retreat, and that puzzled him. He was cornered from two directions but the other two weren't blocked.

'They can move faster than you think,' the old man noticed his puzzlement so he explained, 'you need to retreat through the way you came from,' he advised, 'it's the only safe path you have.'

"Screw it," Jim made up his mind, "let me see if my Don is as legendary as you said or not."

Jim didn't move towards the direction of the incoming rhinceropards but towards the two chimeras. Don was running beside him, roaring from time to time as if he was threatening the two giants up front.

And that just made the chimera kid laugh even more.

"You are really amusing," he said, "come, let me end your suffering fast."

Jim didn't answer but he clenched his sword with both hands while focusing over one target.

"Kill him," the kid leisurely waved his hand as if he casually requested breakfast.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

The two giants roared before suddenly moving at a very frightening speed. Even for Jim he found it hard to follow their tracks at some point, however he was able to deduct the path they were taking.

'Damn! You are far more stubborn and foolish than me!' the old man yelled in anger, 'alright, as you chose the impossible path then let me warn you first, these chimeras are ancient beasts. They have a very hard shell to crack skin and their fire can't be tamed yet by you.'

'What about my lightning?' Jim asked.

'Like a breeze of air to them,' the old man said, 'only water can help to some point, or your level of magic energy has increased.'

Jim's eyes shone brightly with an idea however he had one little problem here. 'Why didn't you say that from the beginning?' he blamed the old man, 'now i have no time to do anything!'

'You didn't tell me you are planning to head towards them!' The old man defended aggressively however the next moment Jim had to deal with the two monsters and dropped the useless talk with him.

"Roar!"

The first monster appeared in front of Jim. It had a red skin with some silver lining all over his body. The two faces ferociously opened and Jim could already see a bright red ball of fire being formed in the depth of their throats.

"I have to evade this," he didn't think of attacking the monster directly but to evade. Yet his mind didn't give him any path to escape up till now.

"I'll... improvise," Jim didn't find any other solution but to resort to the way he used to while playing the game. He waited, glanced at the second monster which moved to the side to corner him.

"Planning to surprise me with that side attack?" he muttered in a gratified tone as he realized this attack would be combined together to unleash a deadly fire over him.

And so he couldn't just run to the sides or even retreat, either way he would be barbecued without any resistance. He could only depend on advancing, and that path is blocked now by that giant chimera ready to kill him.

"Finish him," the chimera kid laughed from behind while clapping in excitement like he was watching a circus show.

"Swoosh!"

The moment he said it, the monster dropped any further plans of gathering more fire and released a terrifying fountain of deadly fire towards Jim.

And Jim suddenly moved.

At this moment he used even an ounce of strength he had, leaned his body forward and kicked the ground to dart like an arrow. And Don followed from the side.

Yet as he moved to evade the fire, the chimera moved in strange agility to aim his fire over him. It was like an elephant was trying to stomp over a tiny mouse. The elephant leg was so huge to cover the entire area and the mouth was desperately running for his life.

Jim kept jumping right and left while the fire sizzled just a few inches behind him. One stop and he would die, one mistake and he would be burnt to death. He knew it and thus he kept his focus only over one thing... getting forward no matter what!

Just as things were getting under his control, the second chimera suddenly shifted his direction and appeared in front of him.

"Damn!" Jim cursed as now he returned to the starting point, getting cornered by the two monsters from front and side. "If so... then there is this way," he didn't drop the hope yet and just before the second monster unleashed his fire, he suddenly vanished.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

And Don roared again towards the two monsters at this moment.

"Good boy," Jim smiled while his body was now midair. He didn't take the path on the ground, but he chose the aerial path instead.

"Foolish of you," the chimera kid sneered, "you can't even fly dumbass!"

Jim heard his remark clearly but didn't concern himself with it while his body was gradually stopping gaining altitude and was about to fall.

"Roar!" the monster he was flying towards turned around and roared. Jim selected the first monster it was stuck with as he bet his fire would die down soon.

And just as he flew high in the air it was already off.
