Once the chimera fell, Damien naturally devoured it before he went to the altar.
Through its memories, he learned a bit more about the mysterious man and the ruins this altar led to, but since the chimera remained outside the ruins its entire life, the information it had wasn't much.
'What a single-minded beast.'
The chimera had no real reason to remain a protector of the altar. The duty was assigned to it at birth, and it followed it mindlessly without a single question.
It was a bit of a pathetic existence, but that was that.
'I should focus on what needs to be done.'
The only real useful thing in the chimera's absorbed existence was the method to enter the ruin properly.
'The ruin is supposedly a relic from an ancient society. It's meant to have some sort of religious background belonging to a God from the past, and the person who clears it is meant to inherit his legacy.'
