"Huff...Huff...Huff" Emilia was breathing heavily, she had used most of her mana to kill the minks, and now that they were all dead, she had time to take a calm breath.
Jasper and Keitan were much better than Emilia but Kyle, on the other hand, was nigh perfect, they could not tell if he was even breathing, the armor covered his whole body, and it should.
Kyle's mask stopped working some hours ago and he looked like a skeleton right now. His voice became a little hoarse but he told them that it was a medical condition. Emilia offered to help with her healing but Kyle rejected. He didn't want to die like this and so early.
"Let's rest, we earned it really," Kyle said and took some wood out, they were small size good enough for a bonfire.
After setting the bonfire, Emilia threw a small wisp of fire into it which made it start burning in a few seconds.
They all sat near it in silence, Kyle could psychologically feel the warmth of the bonfire.
"This is the first time I ever camped in a dungeon...so peaceful," Emilia said and took some pills out of her storage.
"This dungeon has been fruitful till now, we can even get around 10000 gold from just selling the drake's parts."
They all nodded and things were silent again, but it was not awkward, everyone had things they had in their mind.
Emilia gave everyone a pill, it was food with all kinds of nutrients compressed in it. They all ate it and became full in an instant, Kyle acted like he was eating it, but in the end, he vanished it into his inventory.
They stayed like this for about an hour and finally, Emilia's mana was filled to the brim with the help of the potions.
"This is the last, guys, try to fight like a team this time," Jasper said while chuckling.
Even Kyle smiled, until now, there was not really a need for it, and everyone handled their problem without help. It was a team to be proud of.
They all slowly climbed the stairs, and at the end, they frowned again.
While peeking from the topmost stair, they saw ahead in the big room contemplating what really was that thing.

Chimera #22
Level 11
------
"And now, what the heck is a chimera?" Emilia asked with a frown.
The creature was weird, it had legs and feet like a goat, ugly red-skinned uneven arms and Hands with the biggest nails they had seen ever, It's chest and gut were covered with thousands of pointy and hairy spikes, on second look, Kyle imagined them to be the legs of the Head spiders, but it was not over, its head was the worst, it had 4 eyes, 3 holes in the nose, teeth so yellow and dirty with saliva coming out that Emilia had to look away or she had vomited already.
"I have heard about them, they are monsters made by mixing various other creatures but it is still unknown as to how and who makes them because they are not natural. You can see at its joints and various body parts" Jasper pointed making them look at the stitches everywhere. "This is the reason why there was a theory going on in the capital that the dungeons are more than just the monsters. But this is not the time to talk about this."
Kyle looked at Jasper with wariness.
'Wait, people really think that in the capital?....not just monsters?.....well whatever.'
They all went towards the monster together. The chimera was moving her and there mindlessly till he started sniffing the air. Its eyes darted towards the group of revolvers marching in its territory. With one look, Kyle could tell that this creature was not really a dungeon master. It was a feeling he could not describe but he was sure of it.
'If this monster is under someone, then its ranking is obviously way above me.' Kyle kept thinking.
GRRRR!
A hoarse threatening growl came out of its mouth spitting saliva all over the ground. The ground started to make smoke and it became crispy black where the saliva was.
"It has acidic saliva."
"Hm"
"Damn"
"Ew"
The chimera growled again and sprinted toward them with a fast speed, It clasped its hands and vertically smashed them in their direction, the hands were not really strongly made in a punch as its nails were big.
CLANG!
CLANG!
Kyle and Jasper defended from the punch with their swords, it made a loud sound. Jasper was gritting his teeth as the chimera was using too much strength, its red-skinned lower arm was getting embedded with the 2 swords with blood coming out regularly but the chimera didn't care.
Kyle pushed it with all his might with Jasper's help and they both activated their sword auras.
"Just a few seconds more!"
While they were engaging it, Emilia was making a big fireball by filling her mana in it relentlessly.
Keitan vanished from the group's back and came out from the chimera's shadow that was at the back, he pierced the 2 daggers in the back which was filled with the spider's legs.
The legs around the wound at the back furiously moved, some even hit Keitan's arms that were holding the daggers.
He grimaced in pain but didn't let go of his daggers.
"NOW!!" He shouted to certain someone.
Kyla and Jasper went out of the way and a big ball of fiery fire came from behind them. The chimera's full attention was on Keitan who was still stuck on its back and before it knew, its face was hit with the fireball.
BOOM!!
Keitan forcefully took out the daggers which made the spider legs that were stuck in his arms pull out too. Before the group knew it, Keitan came out of Emilia's shadow which she was now used to. She pulled the legs from his arms and used her healing skill for the first time.
