…
As seconds passes, Alex\'s health continues to decrease.
In just 10 seconds, his health have already been reduced by 10,000 points and its still going.
Alex stopped paying attention to his health and lifted his head to look at the Chimera.
But this time, the playful attitude that Alex has disappeared.
In exchange, a more serious and indifferent Alex has appeared.
"It was a mistake to treat you as an easy prey, I admit."
"However, now that I\'m taking you seriously, that mistake won\'t ever happen twice."
After saying that, Alex disappeared from where he was standing.
Then the next moment, another shockwave spread around the room.
At the center of the shockwave, Alex, who appeared at an unknown time and Chimera that\'s feeling mad have their fist/paw against each other.
It was the collision of their attacks that actually caused that very shockwave.
On that collision, Alex managed to overpower the Chimera, making it slide by tens of meters back.
But that wasn\'t enough, Alex once again charged towards the Chimera.
Seeing this, the Chimera tried to stop him by attacking him.
The snake on the back spitted out a rain of venom from its mouth, all targeting Alex.
But using his high agility, Alex smoothly avoided those venoms and while there are some that he can\'t dodge, Alex smartly used some useless items from his inventory as a disposable shield.
With that, Alex managed to get close to the Chimera once again.
Readying his knife, Alex started staring at the lion\'s neck, obviously targeting it.
Then when Alex tried to slash down its neck, the lion moved its head away.
This caused Alex\'s attack to slip and instead, fall onto the Chimera\'s body, resulting in a big slash wound.
Shiiieek!!
Mehhh!
Roar!!
The three heads let out a painful cry at the same time.
While they are in disarray, Alex decided to use a skill to attack.
[Earth Spike!]
Suddenly, a big spear-like rock protruded on the ground under the Chimera.
Phhssk!
The Chimera didn\'t expect the [Earth Spike] and was hit by it, creating a hole on its stomach where blood pours out heavily.
The blood of the Chimera drips down on the ground, dying it red with the Chimera\'s dying blood.
At this point, the Chimera is already feeling weak because of the wounds that Alex inflicted to it.
Honestly, with its intellect, the Chimera can see that it\'s no match against Alex.
Because of that, the thought of running away has been brewing on its three heads.
However, it is also sure that the moment it turns its back to Alex will be the time that it\'ll lose its life.
While the Chimera is facing a life crisis, Alex has once again started getting closer.
Seeing that, the lion\'s head roared before breathing out fire from its mouth.
The heat from the lion\'s fire breath is so fierce that even Alex doesn\'t dare to get hit by it.
Using this chance, the Chimera leaped back to gain some distance from Alex.
Then the goat head seems to have casted a skill and a black smoke enveloped its body.
All of a sudden, the wound that Alex inflicted on the Chimera started healing at a speed visible to the naked eyes.
Seeing that, Alex narrowed his eyes.
"It seems like it still has healing skills, huh."
Alex paused before adding,
"But it doesn\'t matter. I will just have to do it again. If I have to, I will repeat it again and again until it can no longer heal its wounds."
Just as Alex\'s voice died down, the Chimera also finished healing itself and has recovered its vitality to some extent.
It turned its eyes back to Alex and saw that he wasn\'t doing anything.
But still, the Chimera remains vigilant.
Honestly, the Chimera was afraid that Alex would just suddenly jump into it to slash its neck again.
That\'s why, with all six of its eyes, it watched Alex intently.
Noticing that, Alex can\'t help but smile and say, "What are you staring at me like that for?"
But despite his provocation, the Chimera didn\'t react.
This is the benefit of having high intelligence.
Even in the face of provocation, you will still manage to keep your rationality.
Seeing that the Chimera didn\'t do anything, Alex\'s face turned serious again and he started approaching the Chimera.
"Since you don\'t plan to come, then I\'ll have to be the one to go to you."
Alex said while flipping around the knife in his hand.
"Roar!"
"Hiss!"
"...Meh~?"
The Chimera let out threatening sounds to try to stop Alex.
But Alex was unfazed.
He continued walking unhurriedly towards the Chimera.
Then suddenly, Alex disappeared.
When he appeared again, he was already standing at the back of the Chimera.
The Chimera sensed Alex\'s location and immediately turned around and swiped its claw to Alex.
Alex didn\'t retreat.
He raised his hand and caught the big claw of the Chimera.
Just the Chimera\'s claw is already as big as Alex.
So seeing him catch that with ease was a bit shocking if other people saw it.
But the Chimera wasn\'t surprised.
The moment Alex caught its claw, the lion head moved forward and let out another fire breath.
However, unlike before, the fire coming out of its mouth has turned yellow instead of red.
The intensity of the heat that\'s coming from it is much much more fierce than the previous fire breaths.
Even the ground that\'s been stable until now started showing signs of melting because of the flame coming out of the lion\'s mouth.
Alex frowned and retreated.
"I guess even you haven\'t given it your all yet, huh."
In an attempt to counter the Chimera\'s flame, Alex used [Water Ball] and threw it inside the mouth of the Chimera.
However, before it even got new it, the water ball had already evaporated.
It wasn\'t surprising.
After all, [Water Ball] is just a D-rank skill.
Maybe if it\'s an A-rank skill, it could have successfully extinguished the flames of the lion head.
