Playing with other Supernaturals

Chapter 178 Chimera and Manticore

The goat head of the Chimera spewed fire on Medusa and Kisuke’s direction. They easily dodge the attack by jumping to the side and the flanked it on both sides.

Medusa manifested her chains and threw the dagger towards the lion body. Although she successfully hit it, its thick hide stopped the daggers from impaling it more than an inch. This, however greatly enraged the lion head and chased after her.

Using her superb agility, Medusa dodges its pounces and kept throwing her daggers at it. She wanted to weaken it first before trying to tie it up with her chains because if she didn’t do so, it’ll only break free due to its monstrous strength.

Medusa took a peek at Kisuke’s side with some worries. Although the lion is dangerous, it isn’t as dangerous as the two other heads spewing flame and venom at him.

With a single glance, she took back her sight and complained internally, ‘He’s still in the mood to play?’

What Kisuke is doing is going to places where it is most crowded. He’s chasing after the Perseus Clan members with demented laughter while dodging the flames and venoms. Numerous wails of agony were heard throughout the entire colosseum as the collateral damage increases as Kisuke jumps around.

‘I doubt they’ll release Ana after defeating this guy, but I should finish this immediately.’ With Ana blindfolded and Kisuke has resistance against petrification. Medusa removed her glasses and stared at the lion head.

The lion head also inadvertently stared at its prey, but it didn’t know the danger of those beautiful crystalline eyes. A few seconds later, the lion body slowed down. After a while, its hide slowly turned into stone as it completely ceased its movement. The only ones who can move are the snakehead and the goat head. Due to its focus on killing Kisuke because he kept provoking, they failed to notice the predicament they are in. They only noticed it once the lion head and body completely stopped moving.

Unknowingly, they also looked at Medusa’s eyes and slowly turned into stone. Medusa increased the potency of her eyes by injecting it with Mana. Although the consumption isn’t ideal, it’s a lot better than slowly dealing with the Chimera and risk losing even more Mana.

Without any cue from each other, Medusa and Kisuke dashed towards the frozen stiff Chimera and started cutting off its three heads. A moment later, they killed the Chimera for good and Medusa wore her glasses again.

Both of them looked around and saw that more than half of the people alive turned into a stone statue. With them in an isolated space, Medusa doesn’t have any remorse in turning them into stone. She only hesitated using it outside due to some innocent people or bystanders getting caught in her gaze.

Even in those who are alive, not all of them got out of if fine. Some of their body parts turned into stone and would take some time before they could heal or even move. Others are only lucky due to them not looking at Medusa’s eyes when she used it. It was due to them busy saving their lives while running away from the creepy laughing man chasing after them with deadly flames and venom behind him.

Those who are on the upper echelons of the clan are completely fine due to them receiving Athena’s blessing before coming here.

On Petter’s back, cold sweat started pouring as he didn’t expect the strength and potency of the infamous petrifying gaze. Although he sighed in relief soon after as thankfully, he only has to follow the plan laid out for him. Fighting Medusa one on one is not on his mind anymore as he’s afraid that Athena’s might fail some way of another.

“G-Good job… But I didn’t say anything about it being your only opponent. I already predicted that you would use your eyes, but as expected, it isn’t as strong as the Gorgon’s.” Petter only followed the line he’s supposed to say and thought to himself, ‘When did I become an actor?’

With another snap of his fingers, another Chimera emerges from the entrance of the arena, but this time it isn’t alone. Along with it is another monster from the ancient world. It also has a lion body but unlike the Chimera, it only has a single human head that doesn’t have any traces of sentience. Spikes are growing from its back, a tail of a scorpion and a pair of large bat-like wings completes its body, a Manticore. Compared to the Chimera which is the

amalgamation

of different animals, its human head with three rows of sharp teeth and overflowing with acidic saliva increases its grossness level by a few folds. Even Kisuke winced at this sight as even hollows don’t have such disgusting appearance, ‘The other world is really amazing…’

“Can you deal with that thing?” Kisuke pointed at the Manticore and asked Medusa.

“The Chimera isn’t a problem since it’s slow despite having a lot of strength. The Manticore, however, although weaker than Chimera in strength, it’s very fast and capable of flight. Not only that, it’s range is a lot longer than the Chimera for it can shoot out the spines on its back with a very wide angle. And the most dangerous of its abilities its venom which is a lot stronger than the snakehead. That scorpion sting is also the fastest part of its body. Its other abilities are weak compared to the one I mentioned before, but it’s also capable of weak mind interference with its voice. To a normal person, they wouldn’t have any resistance against it.” Medusa explained its abilities in one breath.

“Thanks for the info~. You take care of the Chimera, and I’ll deal with the Manticore.” Kisuke proposed.

“No! I’m going to take care of the Manticore. As long as I freeze it with my eyes, I can easily take care of it.”

“You better not use those eyes anymore…”

“What? Why?” Medusa knew Kisuke’s observation ability and asked.

“Unlike the first one, I can tell that those two has advanced resistance against your eyes… They are designed to go against you.”

“…” Medusa gritted her teeth in frustration, ‘I knew that they would eventually find a way to resist my eyes effectively, but this came in a very wrong time… Is it Athena?’

“So let’s stick with my plan. Kill the Chimera first so that you can assist me with the Manticore.” Kisuke ran towards the Manticore. He took out a simple dagger from his pocket and threw it on his face which successful in angering the monster locking its attention to Kisuke despite not damaging any part of it.

Medusa wanted to stop him but is too late. All she can do is deal with the Chimera as soon as possible. For starters, she manifested 12 chains attached to a dagger and controlled it telepathically to attack the Chimera.
