Standing a full two meters tall, with a lion's head, a goat's body, and a fire dragon's tail—this was precisely their target: the Chimera Beast.
This brutal creature, having just escaped its cage, was confronted by humans.
The thought that these were the very people who had locked him up in that dark and gloomy place made the raging chimera beast immediately launch an attack.
It opened its lion's mouth wide and spewed poisonous flames at Levin.
An ordinary wizard caught in this fire, even if not burned to death on the spot, would suffer from the poison for a long time.
But Levin didn't flinch; he stood directly in front of the chimera, facing its breath head-on, seemingly unable to dodge.
At least that's how it appears to the "fire salamander" and the chimera.
Just when they thought Levin was about to be burned to a crisp...
A streak of silver light pierced through the breath, striking the chimera beast squarely in the face.
The lion's face was immediately slashed open with a large gash, but before the blood could gush out, the blood vessels at the wound, along with half of the face, were frozen solid.
This is not to stop the bleeding, but to seal the Chimera Beast's powerful regenerative abilities.
Otherwise, this gash would heal completely in just a minute or two, leaving no trace of the injury.
Only then did Levin's figure emerge from the smoke of battle.
He was completely unharmed.
Even his robes were spotless, without a trace of soot.
Having learned in advance that the Chimera Beast was skilled at using breath attacks, Levin naturally made preparations.
[Fireproof Aura] + [Resistance to Energy Damage (Fire)] + [Elemental Shield (Fire)]
Even if this triple fire resistance can't stop Snape's magical flames, it can't stop a mere chimera like you.
This is what is known as "prepared warfare".
Once a wizard has figured out the situation and targets them specifically, the suppressive power the wizard displays will be absolutely beyond imagination.
With a slash to its face and frozen solid, the Chimeramon painfully shook its head, while simultaneously gathering flames, seemingly trying to melt the ice that was hindering its self-repair.
But Levin didn't give him the chance.
His magic was ready—the seaside was the perfect place to cast it.
"【Black Tentacle】!"
Suddenly, a loud splashing sound came from beside the rocks.
Dozens of black tentacles, seven or eight meters long and as thick as a thigh, suddenly emerged from the seawater, resembling the tentacles of a sea monster, and coiled directly towards the Chimera Beast, binding it tightly.
One of the tentacles, in particular, coiled around its throat, trapping its breath inside.
The attempt to melt the ice failed.
The Chimera struggled fiercely, trying to break free from the tentacles' grasp.
But this black tentacle possessed a strength of 19, almost equivalent to that of a Chimera. Keep in mind that even a creature like the Cretan Black Dragon only had a strength value of slightly over 20.
Furthermore, since the [black tentacles] are summoned directly from the seawater, their duration is greatly increased.
For a while, the chimera beast couldn't break free.
He couldn't break free, and that gave Levin his chance.
He wielded his arcane sword, imbuing it with Frostbolt, and then plunged it into the Chimera's body through the gaps between its tentacles, one strike after another.
The Chimera was originally a terrifying monster with powerful regenerative abilities and magic resistance.
When ordinary wizards fight it, they often find themselves in a predicament where ordinary magic cannot penetrate its defenses, and powerful magic cannot inflict damage that keeps pace with its regeneration.
Even if you are strong enough to suppress your opponent for a while, you will still be worn down in a long war of attrition.
However, Levin's series of tactics completely avoided the Chimera's advantages.
He didn't use any direct attack spells throughout, but instead used spells like [Black Tentacles] and [Frost Arrow] that dealt physical and elemental damage, completely neutralizing the Chimera Beast's magic resistance.
Taking advantage of the unique environment of the seaside battle, they used the [Black Tentacles] to bind the Chimera Beast for an extended period of time.
Finally, use an arcane sword enchanted with Frostbolt to bleed the Chimera beast piece by piece.
Even with Chimeramon's incredible regenerative abilities, it couldn't withstand such torment.
The smuggler, who called himself "the fire salamander," was nearly terrified upon seeing this.
He had never seen a wizard subdue him single-handedly in a single encounter.
Such a powerful wizard, I am definitely no match for him.
If he succeeds in killing the Chimera, then I'll have no chance of surviving.
Having figured this out, he raised his wand, intending to launch a sneak attack on Levin to support the Chimera.
But Ciri stepped forward at the right time.
"I've been waiting for you!"
The girl stepped forward and waved her left hand.
"【Dragon Breath Technique】!"
A burst of intense flames sprayed down on the "fire lizard".
We need to make him a real fire salamander.
The smugglers knew, of course, that they weren't real "fire salamanders."
The incantation he uttered instantly transformed into the "Iron Armor Spell," barely managing to block the attack.
But Ciri pressed her advantage, slashing down with her right hand, sending the smuggler staggering.
"You wretched little girl, take this!"
Seeing the enemy's aggressive approach, the smuggler opened another package, from which dozens of Cornish elves flew out and swarmed towards Ciri's face.
But Ciri made no attempt to resist or dispel them, as if the sprites didn't exist, her sword never leaving the enemy's side.
She was able to do this because she had the confidence to do so.
The little elves wanted to pounce on her and tear at her beautiful gray hair.
But one by one, they seemed to have run into an invisible ice wall, unable to reach Ciri and almost frozen solid.
Five or six little fairies had their wings frozen and fell from the sky.
But what's even more terrifying is yet to come.
As the sprites continued their harassment, one sprite would be engulfed by sudden bursts of flames every now and then.
However, the source of the fire could not be found.
This is precisely the effect of [Elemental Shout].
The fairies couldn't do anything to Ciri, while the smugglers were also suffering multiple wounds from Ciri's relentless sword attacks.
He did consider retaliating with spells, but every time he cast a spell, the opponent's free left hand would unleash an [Aard Sign], knocking him off balance and rendering him completely unable to cast spells.
Finally, he couldn't take it anymore.
He realized that he was no match for the two Aurors in front of him.
What else is there to say? Let's run!
After using the [Iron Armor Charm] to parry another enemy attack, the smuggler created distance.
"Now that I have no other magical creatures on me, I can Apparate directly!"
The smugglers understood this, and so they began to wriggle their bodies.
The black mist also swirled around.
It is a precursor to Apparition.
"Phantom Shift..."
"【Dimensional Anchor】!"
The smuggler was halfway through his apparition-shifting when a powerful force instantly enveloped the surrounding space and sealed him away.
The Apparition movement felt as if it had crashed directly into a solid concrete wall, sending the smugglers flying back.
Caught off guard, the smugglers fell to the ground, sprawling and sprawling.
Just then, Ciri stepped forward, severing his right hand with a single sword strike and taking away his wand.
At this moment, the female witcher turned around and looked at the person who had just used the [Dimensional Anchor].
Levin was walking towards her with the arcane sword in hand.
“What about the chimera?” she asked.
Levin didn't answer, but pointed behind him.
There, the corpse of a huge monster lay motionless on the beach.
Ciri could see that the monster's body was covered with countless wounds from sword piercings; there were more than thirty of them at a glance, and each wound was surrounded by condensed frost.
This terrifying monster with only one kill record has now truly died at Levin's hands.
Chapter 89 Ten Kills!
Seeing that Ciri had subdued the smuggler, Levin took out a rope and cast a life-giving spell on it.
The animated rope, like a snake, slithered to the smuggler and bound him tightly.
"What should we do with him next?"
"Ciri asked."
"Let's find a way to notify the Aurors."
Levin didn't have any other options.
Then he took out a stack of letter books, tore off a sheet, wrote a message, and burned it.
This was given to him by Tonks for use in contacting her in an emergency.
She will come here once she receives the message.
