Within the depths of the underground lair, the old and crazy scientist Vampire halfling, Borudro Aruno, began to feel shocked by what he was seeing through his clairvoyance crystal orb…
On it, he found what seemed to be a massacre against a large group of Chimeras he had sent to the invaders but were all destroyed.
What seemed to be standing there were just five figures, three women, a dragon, and a strange black leopard…
"W-What? W-Who are they?!"
The scientist checked the artifact that showed him the location of the children he was seeking.
And it showed that they were… right here?!
"Huh? They're here? Where?! I don't see them anywhere… Agh! T-They're coming closer! Just how strong are they?! I have to call the boss… No, even if I call him, he won't be able to bring reinforcements in time… Am I… going to die? HERE… AND NOW?!"
The small man rushed around the office as he activated several magical artifacts, allowing many of the chimeras he had saved up in cages free, and ordering them through his authority over them to move and do as he said.
The chimeras rushed through the corridors of the underground, about to meet Maria and her party.
"I have to get out of here…! As long as I remain alive, this project can be restarted!"
The old man opened a dimensional pouch and began to save all sorts of documents inside while suddenly realizing a presence within a room behind his main office.
This presence was a being he had created some time ago, an abominable chimera which he had only created to see how far his abilities could go and how strong a chimera could be made from his hands…
This abomination rested within a room of its own, being fed slaves every week, as its hunger could not be satiated otherwise.
The man desperately rushed towards this room and opened it.
"You should be able to buy me enough time… Now obey me and go there! Kill them! Do anything you can! You're free to do whatever the fuck you desire!" Roared the man, as several artifacts inserted inside the body of this monstrous being, forcing it to obey.
"Pa… pa… Ma… ma…. It hurtssss… GRRUUOOHHH…"
The creature cried with a voice that seemed to be various mixed children converged together while its massive and deformed body rushing through the corridors…
"What a detestable monster… But it's strong, my strongest creation… It should be able to do something against those monsters…!"
Meanwhile…

Ding!
[Calculating EXP Gained…]
[You gained 245000 EXP]
[Your Level has increased from Level 19 to Level 20!]
[Your Level has increased from Level 20 to Level 21!]
[Your Level has increased from Level 21 to Level 22!]
[Your Level has increased from Level 22 to Level 23!]
[Your Level has increased from Level 23 to Level 24!]
The number of Chimeras we had slaughtered was ridiculous. With such a big amount of them gone, it was easy for us to absorb all the EXP we rightfully earned.
Not only had I leveled five times, but everyone else got a massive amount of levels. It is not normal to see so many strong monsters gathered in a single place. Not even dungeons spawn this many strong creatures!
But we had a massive feast of C-Rank monsters, and everyone slaughtered them with high spirits as we got a bunch of EXP out of them. We had mostly left them half-dead so the twins and my other Undead could finish them off, though.
You can already imagine how many levels those low-level guys got, right? They had gone from zero to hero really quick, although not as comparable as us.
Most of my Undead evolved, including my Undead Raven.
Maybe with their current levels it should be more than enough to get them out! After all, these strong Bone Beasts were all C- Rank at most, and Raven is at least at C+ Rank now.
Indeed, it is finally time to act like a Necromancer and- Oh right, there are all these Chimera corpses, might as well raise them into Undead too by using Fake Life.
And, they seemed pretty strong!
FLASH!
Inside of my own Shadow Storage, all the corpses of Chimera are stuck together and stitched through my Undead Healing Skill, and then my utilization of Fake Life to raise the strongest ones, there were some that ended too destroyed or looked too pathetically weak.
The result? An army of around 20 D+ Undead! Not bad. They lost a lot of power because their original souls were gone, but these can work as nice distractions.
The kids also wanted to fight as both of them had leveled up to level 23, so they could realistically fight or help in the fight now… But I was too worried about their safety, so I declined their enthusiasm, sadly.
"Sorry, but you two are still too weak. If you end up dying, I don't think I can forgive myself," I sighed.
"But Emeraldine can heal us if we wound ourselves…." Said Takeshi.
"Our Unique Skills can work well too!" Said Laura.
"No is no, kids! We are about to slaughter the baddie, so you sit there and kill the creatures we send at you. Raven and the other Undead are taking good care of you, right?" I asked.
"Erm… yeah,"
"Okay, fine…"
"Good kids,"
They're indeed good kids! Now, back to the issue at hand.
I glanced in front of my path. We were moving at a fast speed across the corridors, as we saw many areas that were filled with alchemy items or caged wild monsters and beasts. We also saw a few rooms filled with slaves and people that were still alive.
I ignored them for now as we had to first clean the entire place from Chimeras and the guy that made this entire mess, and then we'll see what we can do with these people.
Calling the authorities would be the best bet so they can take care of it, but the authorities themselves are corrupted!
And there it is, another wave of chimera monsters coming right up.
