Cheek-!
The arrow flew in a straight line, like a ruler. At a distance of less than 5 meters, there was no need for a howitzer.
Johann Esperts, the youngest son of the hunting family. The indicators of my archery skills are as follows.
[Archery 4Lv: Sniping is possible without penalty even on shaky ground or on horseback.]
Moreover, he shot the bow in a stable position now.
I already felt it the moment I let go of the protest. It was the certainty of the hit.
Fuck!
My arrow flew right into his eye. A scream erupted from the chimera’s murmuring mouth as the flesh dug deep into it.
“Keee
His green saliva flowed down his chin instead of being spit out. Because his head was attached to his stomach, he couldn’t even raise his head.
It was not the [Perm Flesh] obtained from the last gambler. Partly because those arrows, which only had three shots, had to be used against Kirov, but also because they wouldn’t work anyway.
The class level of this chimera is not [Magic type monster], but [Manufacturing type monster].
Therefore, this guy is not being controlled by magic right now, but is moving by his own will.
Tang- Tang- Tang-
I fired an arrow. Because the target was large, the hit rate was extraordinary.
Tang- Tang- Tang- Tang- Tang-
Puff- Puff- Puff- Puff- Puff-
I fired 10 shots in an instant. And when I put the next arrow on the string again, the front of the guy had a hedgehog-like appearance.
“Grrr-”
“I will go again.”
Tang-
Sheek-!
Ting.
This arrow, which he aimed with great care, bounced off his scaly arm. The Chimera guy’s strategy was clear. The guy was only deflecting the arrows flying at his face.
And I know what’s going on in that mouth covered by an arm.
“That arm, what the hell is it?”
“I don’t know either. umbrella!”
“Tweee
The spit he spat was blocked again by Hoan’s open umbrella. Then came the thump-thump-thump-thump-thump of footsteps. As Hoan folded his umbrella, he saw the chimera backing away.
Tak- thump- tuck-
That awkward backwards step looked like it was about to hit the butt. Adrine said with delight.
“Good! It seems to back off!”
With his umbrella hung on the lance of his armor, Hoan, who twisted the sword, said with sharp eyes.
“… I will catch up and deliver the final blow.”
The tone seemed determined, but I shook my head.
“no. It’s impossible with your sword.”
“… This sword was gifted by the emperor to the guardian knights of the imperial family. Are you sure?”
“I’m sure.”
“What are you sure of?”
That’s because of the depth of the arrow I shot.
Except for the arrow that pierced his eyeball, the arrows stuck in his body barely entered the head of Chok. It means that the skin of that monster is tough.
Instead of explaining to Hoan, I bit my lip.
“Cheet… It must be a Chimera.”
That special monster is a monster that can only appear on two moons, that is, on the second difficulty level or higher.
Kung- Tak- Kung-
It became clear that he had intelligence. The direction he retreated from was a blind spot obstructing the wall. Arrows cannot pierce the walls of the canals. In other words, the direction in which sniping is impossible in the narrow hallway we entered.
“Gooo!”
Hoan understood the situation and said with a bitter smile.
“I guess it means crawl out if you’re going to fight.”
“okay… He’s a smart guy.”
“It also has a good grip.”
I nodded.
There is a reason why the Chimera in ‘Savior from Another World’ is particularly difficult. This is because their fighting abilities are randomly assigned based on what the original creature was combined with.
And when it comes to a monster’s fighting ability, it’s defense that’s just as annoying as attack.
Hidesolau’s fangs were strong enemies due to their overwhelming attack power. And this chimera seems to be the exact opposite. That guy is fundamentally cutting the ‘users of weak weapons who attack less than their own defense’.
And perhaps, all characters are included in the list of “users of weak weapons that attack less than their own defense”.
Except for me.
I looked down at my sword, which was still shining. Originally, this [Arm of Justice] I was holding was actually close to the cheat key for this game. Therefore, ‘an enemy that cannot be attacked without this weapon’ is the same as ‘an enemy that no one can kill’.
I shook my head slightly.
‘This is impossible.’
Although the second moon floating in the night sky means that the battle difficulty has been raised, systematic correction is required when the randomly assigned Chimera’s stats are determined to be ‘unkillable monsters’.
Therefore, the reason why monsters with good skills could appear can be inferred from other things.
this is.
The [Jailer Kirov] event.

unfolded.
it is an aftereffect.
Whoop- whoop-
The breathing of a great beast could be heard from beyond the darkness. Adrin said, looking straight ahead with a nervous expression.
“Until we come out… Are you going to wait?”
If you do, thank you. Given time, I could use Jeong Yo-han’s [Simulation] skill.
There was no need to answer Adrine’s questions directly. It’s because the Chimera guy answered with action before I said anything. in a loud voice.
aaang!
“Ugh!!”
“What?!”
I’m not kidding. The guy hit the wall around the corner with his fist. Then the part of the wall he hit was smashed.
Kurrr-
Piles of rubble tumbled from the damaged walls along with a thick cloud of dust. The resulting pupil in the wall revealed the fist of a bloody fellow. In that terrifying sight, I could feel the illusion I had made at once.
The body of a creature basically has a bilaterally symmetrical structure. No matter what creature he captured, the creature’s arms or legs must have formed a pair.
But he is a chimera who gave up on that balance. And I could see why.
‘It wasn’t focused on defense… .’
As if equipping different tools, he planned the use of his left and right arms differently.
I gritted my teeth and looked at the Chimera’s right hand dripping with blood. In contrast to the scaly left arm, the arm covered with brown fur. That arm holds immense power.
“Eh, what is this… .”
I can understand Hoan’s reaction. It was a tingling moment. That Chimera did it with her bare hands, a job that would only have been done with tools like a construction hammer. But at the same time, it was also a bit of a strange moment.
‘But why… At this moment?’
It was too logical for the dictionary to avoid the body in the blind spot of the bow simply to express anger.
That said, ‘to break the wall with bare hands and come closer’ doesn’t make much sense. There’s no way that a flesh and blood creature’s fist could be harder than a wall. He probably needed twenty more fists like that to do that.
“Geuuu-”
An arrow was stuck in one eye, but the other eye glared at us. Then, as his arm stretched toward the pile of stones, I felt a chill. It was because his intention to hit the wall was explained at once.
“Get down-”
“miss!”
Boo-woong-!
Piles of stones that had been held in large hands flew towards us. It looks like a shotgun bullet.
There is no space to avoid in the straight corridor. I thought as I looked at the flying pile of stones.
‘If you miss it, you will die!’
This was felt more vividly in the current situation where [The Smell of Death] was not working. The best thing I could do was hold the knife in front of my eyes and protect my head.
And whether I should say good luck or bad luck, a large stone flew and hit the knife.
Kwak-!
The pressure that went all the way to my elbow almost let go of the knife. I used the sword as a shield, but the stone hit my forehead without slowing down.
Poo-!
My body surged with a heavy sound. It was a very brief moment, but it seemed to temporarily stop my thinking.
with a plop-
Gurrr-
The body that had risen was submerged in the flowing water of the canal. As if the forehead was broken, the tinnitus of beeping continued, and the accident did not occur properly.
The whole world was water.
I thought in my confused mind.
‘Is it a concussion?’
In game terms, it was like a short stun. My body, which does not move, flows helplessly along the flow of the waterway. When I managed to turn my head, I saw the figures of Hoan and Adrin in the water. They were hiding in the water, avoiding the flying stones.
I couldn’t breathe, and my body started to go out because it couldn’t flow. It felt like something was pulling me down hard. Bubbles rose from my mouth and nose.
Did it last like 5 seconds?
I suddenly came to my senses and remembered. Water was draining downwards at the bottom of this aisle.
Johann Esperts has no special matters related to lung capacity, and if he goes to the floor as it is, it will be a bad ending. An underwater suffocation, a rare bad ending.
I looked around to see if there was anything to catch, and I realized that it was getting dark.
It was a realization followed by a strong sense of loss. There was no [Arms of Justice] that should be held in the right hand.
light receding.
The direction, of course, was down the drain. My sword was falling into the depths of the aqueduct.
‘no!’
I couldn’t let it go. [Arms of Justice] is an item with a value that cannot be converted into money. Moreover, it was now the only weapon that could cut that Chimera.
While submerged, I desperately stir my limbs. Not above the water, but below the water.
Breathing became quicker, and the stoned forehead hurt like crazy. But there was no time to take care of those things. A heart complaining of lack of oxygen and a shimmering vision in the water warn me that I must return to the ground quickly.
1.5 meters…
1 meter…
0.5 meters…
I managed to pick up the [Equipment of Justice] that was moving away from me at a faster and faster speed, and I turned around while leaning against the wall.
And this time he swung his limbs toward the water. Because of my quickened breathing and downward acceleration, the way up the water felt much slower.
My heart feels like it’s going to explode.
The movement of tired limbs slows down.
I feel like dying.
Even though the [Arms of Justice] in my hand are shining, it seems that my vision is getting dark.
And at the end of it was a familiar face. The face of the guardian knight staring at him with his head in the water.
I stretched out my hand holding the sword and held it out to Hoan. Of course, not to stab, but to raise. And at that moment, I noticed something unexpected in his expression.
I knew him as the one who designed it. It was a face in conflict. Even in the pain of dying, I guessed the conflict.
And as a result, I felt fear.
My outstretched hand began to tremble.
Hoan is thinking about it now.
As a position to protect Adrine,
I repeatedly lead her down a dangerous path.
About whether saving lives is right.
