CRAAASH!

Ding!

[You gained 20000 EXP!]

[Level]: [32/50] [EXP]: [127000/340000]

With the bird dead, there were more guys to take down. There were around… twenty? Thirty? F-forty? Huh? just how many bastards are there? Floor 8 was gigantic, like a stadium, and they were spread all over, they were all running towards us. Can we even take down so many on our own before we are overwhelmed? If I go all out maybe, but it would be better to stretch out our range than to let them all come at us in masse… therefore, time to use the Skill that even makes me a summoner!

"[Chaotic Beast Summon]!"

Right after having killed the giant bird, I quickly summoned dozens of Chaotic Beasts, who immediately took shape out of thin air one after the other, beings made out completely from Chaos Energy, they irradiated a monstrous presence, after the Skill had reached a high level, the beasts themselves had become stronger and bigger, although they all resembled masses of tentacles and red eyes.

My creatures quickly moved forward, as I used a nice chunk of my MP to summon dozens of them, I summoned over forty, even if many die, they should be able to buy us enough time to pick the chimeras one by one without feeling as pressured!

The Summoned Chaotic Beasts immediately began their fight, several of them ganged on larger prey, immediately taking down a few in an instant unleashing smaller versions of Chaos Attribute Spells such as Chaos Bullet, Chaotic Spear, and so on.

As the massacre continued in the background, Luminous and the elves fought as well while I took care of my own prey. Luminous was using his light magic rather masterfully, generating several Light Arrows at the quantity of thousands, which he unleashed over his prey in constant barrages. The spell by itself was a low-rank one, but because it was probably Level 10 and he had a lot of Magic Power, he was able to deal a lot of damage with each one (not as much as high rank spells), and by making thousands of them, I ended being even more efficient.

The explosions of countless light arrows raining over every chimera was rather beautiful, the entire floor of the dungeon turned into a spectacle of fireworks. But that wasn't all, Fiere also fought, the young maid had her own set of accessories to enhance her magical power, and her own dedicated magic arrow which she used to unleash five arrows at the same time, each arrow imbued with magic, when fired, turned into gigantic dragons made of flames, this was a skill named [Blazing Dragon Arrow] and she could use it up to five times at the same time, it seemed to be an evolved form of [Blazing Arrow]!

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

As the explosions of both light and fire were unleashed, Elfina kept herself safe while sitting over the back of Luminous as he flew around to continue spreading out his magic damage. She immediately used [Enhance Summon] on me while I rolled and used a variety of Skill combinations to take down the mob chimeras in front of me. She was also unleashing beams of light and darkness through her spear skill with Black and White, so all of them were helping one way or the other.

Meanwhile, Aquamarine decided to stay by my side and support me, suddenly turning into a large knife of the oceans and slashing through the flesh of a giant rhino chimera, its hard skin was tough, but Aquamarine's sharp blade was able to easily pierce through the hard steel skin, the chimera had many tentacles, but I unleashed my Phantasmal Aura and shaped it as blades, slicing the tentacles and quickly slaughtering the beast as I got closer to it with [Mighty Caterpillar Bite]!

CRUNCH!

Another down, who's next?! I looked around as I quickly found six beasts running my way, Aquamarine ready to fight some more, he quickly shapeshifted into a mass of water as I guided him through the battle. He shapeshifted into spikes of ice and other times into the dagger for more precise movements and attacks. At times, he protected me by covering my body with an Aqua Armor which I froze to make extra resilient, and in other times, we combined our attacks into one.

I felt like I was spoiling Aquamarine a bit too much compared to Black and White, as they were clearly a bit jealous he was getting special treatment by fighting by my side, so I'll try to fight with Black and White after this is done as well, to not make things too uneven!

CRAAAASSSSHH!

I kept rolling through the battlefield, having sharp spikes all over my body really made of this strategy a no-brainer, but at times I mixed things up unleashing [Purification] and [Holy Flames] together, some of the chimeras had no resistance to fire or holy light element, so this dealt the most damage. Chaos beam was also in the menu, but that thing costs a lot of MP, so I was trying to save for the big thing in the background, who was constantly self-dividing to make little and annoying critters that give no Exp whatsoever.

As my allies and my summoned chaotic beasts were taking down the rest of the monsters and I had cleared a nice battleground, I quickly looked at the big boss blocking the stairs to Floor 9 and 10, it hasn't moved ever since we got here, and it had stayed in there like a monolith, as if it was specifically designed to protect a place. This was the meatball chimera, as I like to call it, a spherical bass of fleshy limbs, eyes, heads, and everything you can imagine, with the core being a deformed squid-like parasite with countless eyes, a frightening sight to behold indeed… This bastard was creating smaller chimera named Chimera Drones, that were constantly annoying us and gave no EXP either, ungrateful bastard.
