“Hey!” Ray shouted and jumped up. He stood on a big tree that a giant with one eye used as a stick. Then Ray began to run, and didn’t stop until he got close to the giant’s head, and cut it off with his sword.

The giant let out a terrifying shout, and then began to breathe heavily. The dark red blood flew and spread everywhere. The giant shook a bit before collapsing heavily onto the ground. Even before it fell, Ray had already landed back on the ground and looked around, holding his sword in his hand. Everything around him was a mess. There were the bodies of various monsters, businessmen, and bodyguards strewn everywhere.

Since the giant, the leader of these monsters, had been killed, the monsters dispersed with an uproar. On this arena where an intense battle had just ended, only the crying, injured ones were left.

Seeing the monsters had been killed or run away, the terrified leader of the commercial corp who had been hiding under the carriage crawled out and gave great thanks to Ray. He insisted on returning him the favor.

Ray didn’t refuse since it was only natural for an adventurer to receive a reward from one he had helped. The leader gave him a small bag of gemstones, to which he was very surprised.

This is too much. It is against the rules, Ray thought.

Ray had indeed done a great job in helping this commercial corp. The defense circle was destroyed by the Ogres, lead by the giant, and all the members of the commercial corp were to be brutally killed by them. However, Ray appeared and knocked down a great many ogres with a sword, all by himself. Ray even killed the leader of these ogres, the giant with only one eye, and managed to save the whole circle.

A small bag of gemstones was still too much a reward to receive. However, the leader of the commercial corp was very persuasive, and at last, Ray accepted the gemstones rather worriedly. After, Ray decided to temporarily proceed with this commercial corp until they safely arrived at the next town.

At night, Steele, who had been taking care of the injured all day, finally came back to the carriage and began to complain.

“I am exhausted!” she said. “I have treated over 20 people. Among them, six are seriously injured. I even managed to bring one man back from the dead… I feel like I have become the priestess in a temple!”

“An able man is always busy,” Sui Xiong laughed. “How does it feel? I mean, saving someone? Do you feel the happiness at the bottom of your heart?”

Steele thought for a while and smiled. She didn’t say anything but went straight to sleep. Sui Xiong knew how she felt though, and smiled when he saw the blue fire dancing on the back of her hand.

A while later, Ray, who had gone out to patrol, came back. He smelled like blood. Obviously, he had gotten into a big fight.

“What have you killed this time?” Sui Xiong asked.

“A Chimera,” Ray said.

“Oh, which kind?”

“Chimera” was a general term, as well as a very famous creature. If a monster’s body was made of more than one monster, then it was called a Chimera. There were both good Chimera and bad Chimera, most all of them very strong.

Ray handed the space bag to Sui Xiong, and said, “Its body is still inside the bag. I plan to sell it when we arrive at the town.”

Sui Xiong used his spiritual sensing to scan the bag, and found that there were two bodies inside. Next to the body of the single-eyed giant, there was a huge monster as tall as two men stacked together. Most of its body was covered with a thick black carapace. It also had a dragon head, the body of a wolf, and two feet from a goat. Its body was very smooth. Sui Xiong could tell it was very agile, and that its teeth were sharp enough to bite off steel. It had a powerful weapon as well: three long tails, which acted like three terrifying chain-swords. The joint of the tail was very sharp and the skin very elastic. The smell left in its mouth proved that it could breathe fire.

If it hadn’t met Ray, who was almost stepping into the legendary world, it would not have been defeated as simply as this. As a terrifying monster, it could destroy a small-sized town all by itself. Meanwhile, the single-eyed monster could be easily defeated when a few brilliant adventurers worked together. Although it had great strength, the giant was not as agile.

“What does saving someone feel like?” Sui Xiong asked.

“It feels really good. I feel like a real knight,” Ray smiled. Then he got very serious. He said, “Just now, though, I felt like there was someone staring at me with bad intentions. It seems that man is extremely powerful and very terrifying.”

“Really?” Sui Xiong was surprised since a man that could scare Ray was never someone ordinary!

“I meant to catch a Chimera and mount it since I am very good at combat when I am riding a horse. A common battle horse is very weak and cannot survive heavy battle, so I have no choice but to fight without a mount. Besides, a Nargakurga is really rare, and one cannot buy it from the market either. When I saw a Chimera which could be my potential mount, I became very excited,” Ray said. “But that man made me feel very uncomfortable, so I wanted to leave quickly and killed the Chimera instead.”
