Chapter 47: The Chimera

The chimera didn't move all that much as we gradually got ready. We had spent so much time just staring each other down that even Elaine was up and casting spells under her breath to strengthen us to face the monster head-on.

The passing thought that maybe it wasn't as bad as Elaine said broke away when it roared and charged not for us but the exit. It didn't make sense at first until I noticed she shrunk ever so slightly as she ran.

That was when I knew that field was to keep her down here. The chimera couldn't break it for whatever reason, but it was open now. Who knows how much damage it could do if it got to the surface. We needed to stop it here!

"I'm sorry," Tank whispered next to me. "And I'm sorry, my Guillotine."

Mana exploded out of Tank as runes appeared down his blade. He hurled it, aiming for the chimera. She jumped to the side, and the snake part of her hissed at us as the sword wedged itself right above the exit and began to shine.
