    Trantor: 549690339


    Although arge group of onlookers were initially hoping that the Chimera would break free from its chains and tussle with Otto, things quickly began to deteriorate once the beast was actually set loose.


    The Chimera could fly, making the crude fences around itpletely useless. What’s more, the beast had already destroyed arge section of the enclosure.


    Even the bloodthirsty Lait people were mostly just ordinary folk, not powerful adventurers or skilled magic users. When faced with such an evil and powerful monster, being slow to react meant bing its dinner.


    Some quick-thinking individuals were already making a hasty escape, and in some ces, stampedes had even begun to break out.


    Most of the adventurers capable of stopping the monster were among the fastest to flee, as selfishness was also a hallmark of the Lait people.


    ckheart George was bleeding in his heart, knowing that this surefire moneymaking event had turned into a disaster, and he might face a heftypensation afterwards.


    Whether others lived or died was of no concern to him. All he cared about now was minimizing his own losses, so he could make a quick getaway after tidying up his affairs, regardless of who was right or wrong.


    ckheart George pped a stunned evil ve and yelled furiously, “Hurry up, you useless freeloaders! Go catch that big bird for me!”


    What kind of bird was so terrifying?


    The evil ves didn’t dare toin, grabbing ropes and long poles and preparing to enter the enclosure to subdue the Chimera.


    Knowing full well that these crude tools werepletely useless, they were obviously just going through the motions.


    They weren’t fools, and as ordinary people, they wouldn’t stand a chance against even a single dire wolf, let alone the Chimera.


    Meanwhile, the Chimera was focusing all its attention on Otto.


    Taking advantage of its ability to fly, it looked down on Otto from above and unleashed one fiery breath attack after another.


    But Otto easily dodged every attempt, moving with an agility that belied his five-meter-long frame.


    Sometimes, when escaping the attacks proved difficult, Otto would simply grab another monster and throw it at the Chimera, either forcing the beast to divert its me breath or turning the unfortunate creature into a roasted meal in his stead.


    Without any ranged attack capabilities, Otto was bing more and more adept at using throwing weapons.


    As the Chimera’s rampage continued, panic erupted among the other monsters in the enclosure, who instinctively sought to escape, the opening created by the Chimera’s destruction proving to be their breakthrough.


    One after another, monsters burst through the charred remnants of the enclosure, immediately beginning to harvest human lives.


    The very people who hade to watch the monsters fight ultimately became part of the spectacle themselves.


    The mayor had already left the area under the protection of his guards. Kor Town was a poor and remote little ce, with barely ten guards in total, who usually only collected taxes.


    So when faced with such an event, why would the mayor care about anyone else’s life?


    At this point, he was full of hatred for ckheart George and secretly vowed to send him to the gallows once the chaos was over.


    Risking his life for a hundred gold coins was a terrible business decision.


    As the chaos escted, ckheart George was forced to make his final preparations.


    He had already nned to secure both the Chimera and Otto, go into hiding and hire some adventurers to protect him as he fled to a neighboring country. Once there, he would sell the two monsters to a wealthy noble, ensuring more than enough wealth for him to livefortably for the rest of his life.


    Just then, George looked back and saw a bald, muscr man grinning at him.


    It was Bald Reby, the strongest adventurer in Kor Town, and his team.


    These scoundrels had been watching the chaos without lifting a finger to intervene, even as the monsters were ughtering people left and right.


    While the Chimera was formidable, it was hardly an insurmountable challenge for these grizzled adventurers who had spent years living on the ragged edge, fighting and bleeding their way across the wilderness.


    ckheart George knew that these scoundrels were waiting for him to approach and hire them so they could gouge him for as much money as possible.


    Though he bitterly resented the idea, he had no other choice in the circumstances.”A hundred gold coins, help me catch that Chimera!”


    Bald Reby sneered: “A hundred gold coins? That’s not enough to hire the powerful Reby! A thousand gold coins, not a single copper less, or I won’t do it!”


    He was clearly taking advantage of the situation. Even if the Chimera was sold in Serbia, it would only fetch up to six hundred gold coins.


    Hiring adventurers is also a business, and business is all about bargaining.


    ckheart George gritted his teeth: “Two hundred… ”


    “At least three hundred!”


    Bald Reby sneered at him, looking as if he had the upper hand. ckheart George knew he didn’t have much time to waste on bargaining and ultimately had topromise.


    “And!”


    Before leading his gang of brothers into the fenced area, Bald Reby stared wickedly at ckheart George.


    He said without a doubt: “You also have to give me that half-elf brat, it’s not worth much!”


    The scumbag was talking about Sofia, who he had been eyeing for a long time. He had some unusual tastes, but he would never be willing to buy her outright.


    “Bah! You’re greedier than a dragon!”


    Bald Reby ignored ckheart George’s curse and stepped into the fenced area amidst theughter of his brothers.


    Although he was unwilling, ckheart George couldn’t do anything about it. In private, he calcted that if he only had to pay for a half-elf female ve worth dozens of gold coins, it wouldn’t be uneptable.


    ckheart George and Bald Reby’s conversation was all overheard by Otto, who had devoured almost all kinds of monsters in the arena in just one year. Naturally, his hearing wouldn’t be poor.


    “Sofia, huh…”


    The half-elf girl wasn’t brought to the venue, but was left in the arena. Otto remembered the care the little half-elf girl had given him over the past year, and his mind was made up.


    The Chimera continued to attack Otto relentlessly, and the Dragon Beast he had initially dismissed was bing quite a handful in just a short year.


    After several failed attempts at using me Breath, he considered whether to jump down and engage Otto directly but Bald Reby and his adventurer team arrived.


    An enchanted arrow hit one of Chimera’s wings, and the unexpected aerial attack nearly made him plunge down.


    He quickly regained his bnce and spotted the human adventurer team that dared to attack him.


    “Roar!”


    The enraged roar of the Chimera echoed throughout the square, and he couldn’t contain his anger, opening his mouth and spewing a torrent of mes at the despicable humans.


    Bald Reby remained calm: “Spellcasters, Mana Barrier!”


    Two figures draped in dark robes held up their Magic Wands, and a translucent barrier appeared in front of the adventuring team.


    The me Breath pierced through the barrier after a brief pause, but its power was greatly diminished and posed no threat to the adventurers.


    “Get ’em!”


    Bald Reby charged forward, brandishing his double-ded axe while Bick followed closely behind with a sword full of cracks.


    The two Spellcasters cast Fireballs and Freezing rays. Despite not being high-level magic, they still suppressed the Chimera.


    Three Rangers drew their bows and aimed for Chimera’s wings, causing the battle to be tense in a short time.


    At this moment, Otto, shackled on the other side, had bitten through the chains.


    “Farewell!”


    He broke through the fence behind him and ran away without looking back.
