Under Blackheart George’s arrangement, wicked slaves and some low-paid laborers in Kor Town’s center encircled a piece of land as the venue for the monster fight carnival.
In just two days, the enclosure was built using nothing more than simple wooden boards.
Such enclosures would obviously fail for long-term use, but for disposable use, they are barely passable.
Some people worry about the safety of the enclosure, but the inherently greedy Blackheart George won’t spend an extra dime on it.
Inside the enclosure, cages filled with monsters were placed, while Otto and Chimera were given special attention, locked with iron chains at opposite ends of the enclosure, the ends of the chains attached to relatively thick wooden boards.
Blackheart George did not want his two star monsters to have a face-off in this carnival.
With a little money and some networking, he could bring both star monsters into Serbia and then sell them for a good price.
Blackheart George hired a spellcaster among the adventurers, who applied magic locks to the cages containing monsters, and then gave a speech devoid of cultural background.
As the audience booed, the magic locks on the monster cages unlocked simultaneously.
Over three hundred monsters of various kinds roared as they rushed out of the iron cages; they had been starved for three days, and the first thing they did after getting out was to fight each other for the flesh and blood of other monsters.
Otto lay on the ground with no movement, clawing at the chain around his neck, and had a plan in his mind.
The lock’s forging material was ordinary pig iron, and although it was generously used, it was not unbreakable.
Otto could now easily break free from the chains, but he didn’t do so.
The monsters that were madly fighting each other around him posed no real threat, as they would only approach Otto and Chimera as a last resort.
The monsters were crazy, but they wouldn’t court death.
Instinct drove them to avoid danger.
Otto was more concerned about the surrounding humans, who had grown much stronger than he had just a year ago.
But he didn’t think he could escape unscathed from the siege of a group of footmen.
“Maybe I need someone to draw their fire for me!”
Otto squinted, maliciously staring at Chimera on the other side, gnawing on a dire wolf.
He looked at the end of the chain around Chimera’s neck, and that thick wooden board as well, and had made up his mind.
Of Chimera’s three heads, the dragon head and lion head were fighting for the dire wolf beneath them, while the other sheep head was vigilantly observing the surroundings.
The nearby monsters were eyeing the food under Chimera, but no monster could muster the courage to try and snatch it.
Behind the rough enclosure was the frenzied audience, some even opening gambling tables, betting on how many monsters Chimera and the silver-scaled dragon beast could kill during the carnival.
Otto slowly approached Chimera, who had grown so fast that his nearly five-meter body posed an undeniable threat.
The sheep head kept a cautious eye on Otto, who was getting closer and closer, getting its attention – in Chimera’s eyes, this was not a friendly move.
The pale silver dragon beast casually slapped a gnoll to death, its powerful hind legs supporting it to stand up, and its front claws holding the gnoll’s corpse.Otto’s strange behavior caught the attention of the surrounding audience, and Blackheart George felt a sense of foreboding.
Just as people were wondering what the Dragon Beast was up to, it unexpectedly used the Gnoll’s corpse as a throwing weapon and hurled it directly at the Chimera, which was feeding.
The Gnoll’s body smashed into the Chimera’s vigilant goat head, which was already quite irritable from not having had a chance to feed.
Otto’s action only served to further enrage it.
Chimeras are an evil and contradictory combination. The dragon head drives it to attack, plunder, and accumulate treasures; the lion head incites its desire to hunt down powerful creatures within its territory; and the goat head makes it vicious and unyielding, fighting to the death.
These monsters usually don’t make for good company – if you provoke one, it’s likely to be a fight to the death.
“Roar!”
Leaving its food behind, the Chimera fluttered its wings and quickly charged at Otto.
However, when it was about five meters away, its massive body suddenly came to a halt in mid-air and crashed to the ground with a thud.
The chain around its neck stood straight, and the worn-out chain made a piercing noise. Obviously, it was under tremendous pressure, causing some worry that it might break.
“Damn it, what are you all standing around for?”
Blackheart George finally reacted and kicked a Villain Servant in the butt, urging them to quickly deal with this sudden situation.
Both Otto and the Chimera were his prized possessions, valuable living gold mines that could be sold for a good price in Serbia. Nothing could go wrong.
In contrast to Blackheart George’s thoughts, the surrounding audience went wild with excitement, these bloodthirsty Lait people wishing for the two beasts to break free from their chains and fight each other right away.
The arena’s Villain Servants didn’t dare to intervene in the conflict between the two beasts, let alone enter the enclosure filled with a crazy assortment of other monsters.
So all they could do now was to run to the ends of the chains and try to pull the two confronting beasts back to their respective sides of the arena.
But how could the mere strength of a few humans move the enraged Chimera and Otto?
In the end, neither of the two massive beasts retreated even a single step. Instead, a Villain Servant lost his balance from trying too hard and knocked out two of his front teeth, causing the surrounding audience to burst into laughter.
Otto slapped a Giant Poisonous Snake dead, grabbed its corpse together with that of a Kobold, and used them as throwing weapons against the furious Chimera, adding fuel to the fire.
Engaged in a struggle against the chain around its body, the Chimera did not expect Otto’s sudden attack. It was hit by the monstrous corpses, and although it didn’t suffer any serious damage, its anger reached its peak.
The dragon head of the Chimera, one of its three heads, opened its mouth wide and unleashed a fiery breath at Otto, but the latter sidestepped it effortlessly. Otto then threw two more monster corpses at the Chimera, further enraging it.
Chimeras are intelligent creatures, with many adult chimeras learning to speak human language when they become powerful enough.
Its three heads quickly scanned the surrounding environment and soon discovered that the end of the chain that bound them was merely secured to a thick wooden board.
Without hesitation, it aimed a powerful fire breath at the thick board, which, along with the surrounding Villain Servants and a long row of fences, was reduced to ashes.
With just a slight effort, the Chimera broke free from the chain and soared into the sky.
The noisy audience became silent in an instant – the monster was now free!
