A spine-chilling roar echoed in the whole village. It was ferocious, full of bloodlust and insanity that could make anyone run away immediately. No human or animal for that matter could make such a sound.
Ray instantly ran to the window to see what's going on....and there....he saw the ugliest creature he could ever imagine. Mind you, Ray fought his fair share of monsters throughout his life and most of them were ugly and repulsive to look at. But this one could only be described as total chaos. The creature was at least 100 meters tall with tens of tentacles covering its ugly grey coloured body. It had 8 eyes dispersed throughout its body. A massive mouth with hundreds if not thousands of razor-sharp teeth organized like a chainsaw that could shred anything to pieces the moment it made contact with it. If it had to be described, it was a heterogeneous mix of a squid and an insect of some type.
"What....is...that?" Muttered Ray with a horrified expression on his face. The creature was floating around in the dead centre of the village and with every move it made, the screams of people echoed and the smell of blood and gore slowly reached Ray's nostrils.
Flora also stood beside Ray and had the same horrified face. The smell of blood was also getting stronger and stronger.
'Sanguis, do you have any idea what is that?' Ray asked his grimoire. It was way more knowledgeable than Ray so it could know what is that.
'Who thought this will be here, huh? That's a fucking chimera over there. It's the result of mixing the body parts of other monsters. Be careful Ray. That fucker is strong' Sanguis' statement made Ray even warier. To those who don't know Sanguis' character: it's very arrogant by nature and it disdains everything even Ray. So when it said that this chimera is strong it was actually the first time such words came out of Sanguis's mouth.
"Flora! We need to get out...now!" Said Ray, as he ran to the door. "I will try to fight it. You collect everything and then join me, ok?" He didn't even wait for her reply. Ray channelled his mana to the maximum and disappeared into the shadows of the night.
"Wait! Sigh, he's always this reckless." Flora could only sigh and move quickly.
As Ray jumped between the buildings he saw all kinds of sceneries that could make anyone vomit with how disgusting it is.
Corpses of villagers were everywhere. All of them were hideously killed. Most of them didn't even have an intact body. These innocent people were butchered like animals for nothing.
But this didn't even move Ray's heartstrings. Maybe because he was focused on the chimera or maybe he didn't care, either way, his eyes were as cold as the harshest winter and as emotionless as a lifeless doll.
"ROARRRRRRRRR!!!!!" Another Roar that shook the heaven and earth almost made Ray halt his steps.
After getting close, he immediately used his strongest spell 'Blood manipulation'.
The whole village was killed so he didn't need to use his own blood for the spell. With just a thought the blood around him started moving as if it had consciousness. In a matter of seconds, A huge ball of red liquid gathered in front of him and covered his body. This shows how many people died. The amount of blood was huge!
Then he separated a portion of it and without breaking a sweat he changed its form into many spear-shaped objects.
Two years of tireless training gave its results, Ray is now able to control blood as if it's a third limb.
*Snap* a small snap of his fingers made the blood spears shoot like bullets. The target was totally engrossed in wreaking havoc so it didn't see them coming.
Tens of blood spears reached the chimera in a few seconds and punctured its body. The attack made a strong shock wave that blew everything in a 100 meters radius away. The chimera almost fell down. A single attack from Ray was able to do such damage.
"ROAAAAARRRRRR!!!!" A roar or to be more precise a scream of pain escaped from The chimera's mouth. The spears created countless small holes in its body and blood gushed out like torrents and dyed the village with even more redder colour.
'At least its body is not that sturdy.' Thought Ray. But he couldn't be any more wrong as in the next second those injuries started closing up at an alarming speed.
'Fuck. It can regenerate?' He cursed inwardly. This news was not good at all.
The chimera looked at Ray with its weird eyes and lunched its tentacles to kill this nuisance that ruined its 'play time'.
At least a dozen very long tentacles were moving towards him.
Ray couldn't stay in his place anymore, so he jumped from the building he was standing on. The next instant, the building was turned to dust. They mercilessly destroyed it and if Ray stood there for one more second he would've been fucked.
As he landed on another house, another batch of tentacles was on the way towards him.
'Give me a fucking break' He clicked his tongue and jumped again. He had to keep using body enhancement the whole time or he won't be able to keep up with the chimera. If not for his massive mana reserve he would probably not hold on for too long.
A game of cat and mouse started, Ray could only dodge the incoming attacks and at the same time think of a way to kill this thing and the chimera was attacking him with everything it had.
Every time he landed on a house or a building it was destroyed the next second.
"ROARRRRR!!!" The chimera grew even more furious with each passing moment. 'Why is this puny insect not dying?' It probably thought. This was a hit to its pride, a supreme creature like this chimaera can't kill a small human. Bullshit!
As for Ray, he was using all of his thinking abilities to find a way to kill it. Even when he asked Sanguis it just shrugged its inexisting shoulders. 'What a useless book!'. He also tried attacking it with the blood spears but nothing changed and it still healed itself instantly.
"I need it to change its aggro." He muttered.
"Need any help?" Flora said as she appeared beside him.
"You came just in time." Ray smiled when he saw the love of his life. Even in such a dangerous situation, he can't hide his delight.
" Can you hold it for a minute or two? I have an idea." Ray then recounted his plan to Flora.
"I can hold it for a minute if I hit it a few times. But you need to hurry." She replied while looking at the extremely angry monster.
"That's enough. Let's beat this ugly thing."
