Chapter 126 Helping The Wounded
A young woman could be seen standing in standard military gear a pair of wings on her back and a long golden spear in hand.
Facing her was a massive monster almost three stories tall with the body of a lion, three heads, one of a snake, a lion and a a goat.
Its large tail coiled behind it to reveal a massive stinger as it waved it around in a threatening manner. the two stared each other down as powerful auras flared up and raise dust in the vicinity.
Despite their glorious postures and looks, injuries could be seen on both parties. Blood trailed down the woman's face and multiple holes could be seen on the Chimera's armor
"One-man army!!" the lady screamed as a wave of mana burst forth from her body.
As the wave died down, a massive army appeared behind her. each one with their wings, a golden spear and dressed in a similar manner.
*Roars*
The Chimera roared in retaliation as it immediately began to charge at new army. The newly formed soldiers though looked normal, a close look revealed their transparency almost as though they were some sort of energy being.
"Attack!!" the lady shouted as the soldiers began charging towards massive creature.
Mana flared up as the creature set up what looked like a mana shield around itself, the soldiers threw themselves against the shield as many of them exploded and the others tried penetrating it with their spears but nothing worked.
"This little shit was holding back" the lady thought as she stared at her false army that was getting bulldozed by the massive creature.
"Die!!" She shouted as she charged towards the massive creature.
All around her were the corpses of what she once called troops, even those she regarded as friends were all dead and it was because of this creature.
Channeling all her anger and hate into her spear, she swung her spear to break the shield set up by the creature. As the spear landed, a loud crashing sound could be heard as the shield was brought down and the Chimera now inside the ground.
As a creature that relied on instincts and had survived for a long time, the Chimera quickly stood up bearing the hit as though it was nothing as it swiped its paws and bared its fangs at the lady.
"Do you need any help!!" a loud voice heard drawing the attention of both the lady and the chimera as they turned to its source only to find a vehicle hovering in the sky and several people watching them from its doors or windows.
"Is that a helicopter?" the lady asked instantly recognizing the vehicle however before she could say anything else, she was sent flying into the distance.
"I believe the lady and I were still talking" the voice replied as a man could be seen falling out of the helicopter
eaglesnovɐ1,сoМ "Captain, our mission is simply to take the governor back to the territory!!" another voice was heard
"She's one of them, his Majesty would be happy we rescued her" the captain shouted as a pair of wings materialized on his back
*Roar*
The chimera roared to show dominance however the winged man simply waved it off as he gentled hovered down to the ground
"Captain, I don't think you understand how humans work, we are not as close as you would think. I would advise that we move on, she may be amongst the many other lords who are against your king" The governor being transported shouted from the helicopter trying to convince the captain not to do anything rash.
Yes, saving the lady would be a good thing however if she truly was one of the many lords, that were against his Majesty them he would only be saving an enemy of the kingdom.
"Don't worry, if anything this should sow a seed of good faith within her" The Captain replied as he turned to the Chimera who was now charging up some sort of mana attack against the archangel
"Let's see..." the archangel said as he raised his hand into the air and soon pointed his finger towards the Chimera.
Almost instantly and by some mysterious force, the chimera sunk into the ground with such force that its legs broke and its back caved in.
In just seconds and with just a single act, the Archangel had killed the creature. The entire place immediately grew silence as they watched the captain and the chimera he had just squashed to death.
"Huh?... turns out that S-class creatures aren't that hard to kill" The captain said as he turned to the lady then back again to the chimera.
He had to admit that those he didn't expect the chimera to be this weak however looking at the result of his actions, he could help but understand why his majesty had called their power 'uselessly explosive'.
If he had followed regular protocol and had attacked the Chimera with a gun, there would have been a corpse left for the research unit.
Now all that was left was a pile of blood and meat. The puddle looked nothing like the chimera, he had just attacked.
He had only attacked with his regular power because he felt that since he was moving doing this independent of the army that he could use his powers to it's fullest since he hasn't done so in a long time.
However, looking at the result now, he understood why even Lord Viktor would happily pick a gun rather than use his abilities freely.
If there was some hostage situation or a rescue mission, using his ability would only result in him wiping out the entire enemy camp out of existence which may include the people being rescued.
"Who are you?" the lady asked after managing to get a hold on reality.
Despite how the situation may had looked for her, she knew that the chimera was not dying any time soon. It was a creature born in the wild and was used to such lethal wounds so despite all the injuries, it had.
It could use still utilize its full strength with ease, her on the other hand, was already on death's door. Her mana was drained to the last drop, her arms were tired and her eyes were droopy.
The clash between the two would have been her end and the creature would have simply just turned around and left as though nothing had happened.
However, this being had killed such creature with incredible vitality by just pointing at it. That was an S-class creature, a creature that could lay waste to countries... at least that's what the system says.
And from the prowess the chimera had shown, it may actually be true. she couldn't believe her eyes as she just watched as the new creature hovered towards her.
She couldn't sense any sort of mana fluctuation from the creature to judge how strong it was nor was there any aoura reaction. It looked powerless.
"You must be one of the many lords introduced into this world, am I right?" The captain asked as the helicopter aligned itself directly behind him but still remained in the air.
"Yes, who are you" She answered truthfully since at this point, she had nothing that could go against such a creature.
She had no power to resist and worse, there wasn't even a will to resist at the moment. She simply stood while using her retrieved spear as a platform to support her as she watched the being descend
"Captain Dal of the Deus army, leader of the arc light 19 team... let me go straight to the point, will you submit to our King, your lord [Kingsley]?" The captain asked
"Huh?" the lady asked in confusion
"I see, then considering that you are within his vicinity of attack, I would advise you either leave you or get ready to face hell" the captain said as he turned back to the helicopter and began flying towards it.
The lady simply stood completely dumbfounded since this wasn't exactly how she imagined things would go. First was the helicopter, how did someone even sneak such a large equipment into this area
The power shown by the creature and the disappointment on his face after he killed it. This was a creature on a whole different level but somehow, he was only a captain.
"Here, this should help you with your injuries... I will consider surrendering if I were you though" the governor shouted as he threw one of the aspirin vials, he always had on him to her
Though he didn't agree with the captain who was an Arch angel and by the nature of their race tried to always act in the name of justice.
He still had to admit that the captain was right, even if this was the enemy, such a good act will surely sow a seed of good faith in their hearts as he had put it.
