The power of the Gods of this world is unknown to me yet, but I do know that they allow for such things to happen in this world without any problems.
It is said they created and shaped the world, but they clearly didn’t take care of it after that. They let the beings they created do whatever they want in the end.
Kill each other, enslave each other, experiment with one another, and do all sorts of atrocities.
And even when things involve the fragments of their former enemy which they defeated and whose fragments fell onto the surface of the world they created, nothing changed, and they didn’t interfere, even when the mortals they made played around with this power which clearly shouldn’t be used by them.
A wave of chimera monsters quickly greeted us. All of their massive and grotesque bodies were overflowing with Demon Energy coming from the black crystals on their bodies.
These things were produced by the Fragment of Evil which my parents and my family once protected. This fragment is, of course, not here but hidden probably in the capital of this Kingdom.
I quickly analyzed the number of beasts before us, around 30 in total, and I could feel a big one coming slowly behind all of them. Did this old man unleash his final trump card or something?
Good, let’s get to it.
I once again activated the power of Mana Siphon, absorbing large quantities of Mana from all the army of Chimera in front of us.
While my Domain of Dark Shadows and Death were still present, I summoned the power of the Undead I’ve made, or well, a part of it, bringing forth most of the Chimera Undead I just raised as meat shields.
An army of 20 Chimera Undead appeared in an instant, accompanied by a few Bone Beasts of C+ Rank as backup allies. All of them rushed forward before us, taking the initial hit of the entire battle as many began to be slashed by the strong chimera, but many others managed to defeat other Chimeras.
A massacre of wild beasts against wilder beasts had just begun.
And as we left this to happen, we rushed forward and began using our abilities to finish them off or catch them as this time we were not so relaxed as before as the group was clearly big and strong.
Every Chimera here was already C+ Rank without any being less than that in power. There was no chance for us if we didn’t go all out from the beginning.
Lucifer rushed forward as he fiercely released his breath attack, phantasmal flames burning through the many chimeras at once and targeting their deformed and amorphous flesh, which made them howl in pain.
Partner controlled her blood and made whips out of it, which wrapped around two Chimeras, and then she used them to hit the other Chimeras, throwing them away while picking them up using her spear with swift movements.
Emeraldine used her bow and gathered spiritual mana on it, before firing incredibly fast Light Arrows that exploded into flashing light and burnt through a group of Chimeras in an instant. She was deadly and fast.
Kuro used his natural body strength to fight, alongside his magic, as he had the ability to unleash fireballs, thunderbolts, and gale winds of dark energy, alongside darkness bullets, all of which were being spammed by him and bombarded any enemy which his claws and bite could not reach.
Meanwhile, I swung my blade to the left and right, as massive slashes made of dark and death elements were released continuously. These slashes came packed with the power of the Blade Slash Skill, deadly enough to slash through most things with ease.
I used it to slice the Chimeras into pieces with utmost ease and then gained tons of EXP through my senseless slaughter.
It was a good opportunity to practice my sword fighting until I realized I could also just gather shadows on the blade and then swing it by merely thinking, making it an effective flying weapon.
This way, I just equipped my Staff and let the blade fly around and slash, pierce, and kill the chimeras by splitting a part of my mind to control it through Shadow Manipulation.
Also, I utilized my most basic magic, Dark Gale, to slice through the Chimera, coupled with the amazing Dark Sphere at high levels. As the level of the skills increased, they became deadlier and more efficient too as they still cost less Mana than the bigger attacks using Shadow Manipulation, for example. Also, thanks to the Domain boosting my elemental Dark Damage, these little spells became devastating ones.
My Dark Gales sliced through the chimeras like massive storms of slicing dark winds, while my Dark Spheres were now as big as two meters, enough to blast an entire Chimera into the ground, and multiple ones could easily splatter them into pieces onto the ground. It was truly a beautiful sight.
We continued slaughtering while occasionally throwing weakened chimera beasts inside of my shadow storage, where the kids and the Undead there finished them off for their own Experience Points.
Soon, we were about to finish off this wave of Chimera in less than 10 minutes. It was rather long, but the difficulties we faced were near none, especially as I was abusing the power of a Necromancer and simply abusing the Undead, I had raised as meat shields.
This ended with all the Chimera dying after a few minutes, and once more, I was getting a shit-ton of EXP! Hahaha!

This amazing grind had not come to an end yet as… the Final Boss has emerged!
A massive gorilla-like Chimera was emanating the deadliest presence…
