Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

Chapter 620 Difficulty

　　10 minutes had gone by and Group 9 was still struggling to win against the monster.

It wasn’t just them too. Everyone was.

This was a monster that seemed impossible to kill.

It had 3 distinct body parts. The heads, the torso, and the tail.

Cutting off the tail would not kill the Chimera in any way at all. No animal would die simply by losing its tail. In fact, some lizards were even used to dropping off their tails on their own.

The chimera’s torso was simply unapproachable too. With its hard dragon scales, not even the sharpest of swords could pierce through it. 

Finally, the heads were perhaps the only part that could hurt the chimera, but they were a separate problem too. Due to the chimera’s incredible healing factor, any sizable wound was healed within seconds.

If the wound was bigger and the head was completely destroyed, the Hydra part of the chimera would grow two heads out of that one destroyed head, making it impossible to kill it by simply getting rid of the heads.

At the moment, Group 9’s hydra had exactly 13 different heads moving about in their long neck.

2 of those heads used fire magic. 3 of them used Earth magic. 3 of them used wind magic. 4 of them used water magic.

And finally, the head in the middle that remained untouched used Lightning magic.

That wasn’t the only problem for them either. 

The swordsman swooped in from the sky to slash at the neck, hoping that there was a limit to the amount of regeneration. However, before he could get too close, the chimera’s tail started rattling really loudly, and suddenly the swordsman felt his mind go blank for a second. 

The mental attack of the chimera was something that affected him as well. The man at the ground was no better with the hammer in his hand nearly slipping off.𝗈𝒱𝓁xt.𝗇𝓔t

The girl stood far away from the fight and watched the 13 different heads spew one magic or another. All she could do right now was hope one of them wasn’t targeted at her.

After all, she was swaying like a drunken little puppy at the moment. Each time the chimera rattled its tail, she felt a sense of dizziness. After it passed away, the dizziness remained and she even felt a sort of weakness at it.

’What is going on?’ the girl thought as she watched the other two. The other two were either incredibly good at faking their weakness, or they weren’t feeling the same thing she did.

One of the bolts of lightning struck the ground not 10 meters away from her, scaring her to near death.

Fortunately, water attacks couldn’t reach her as they would get obstructed by the giant hole in the ground the chimera made earlier.

The wind and fire attacks were usually targeted around it at the two that were fighting the chimera, and the earth attacks didn’t seem like its strongest skill.

As the girl watched, the swordsman and the other man kept on fighting the Chimera. The 13 heads had turned to 16 in the next minute. Then 18 in the next minute, and 22 at the next one.

She watched the swordsman struggle to win, but he kept fighting. He kept cutting the necks off.

He cut the neck once again and saw that the chimera struggled to create two different heads this time and took a while.

The chimera was getting low on energy and could not keep up its regeneration. Even the wound on the foot from the man with the hammer was starting to keep bleeding without regeneration.

The girl’s heart skipped a beat when she saw that. “We can win it,” she thought. “We can do it. We can kill that—”

Suddenly, a white light flashed not even a few meters away from the chimera. All 3 of them turned to look and suddenly, the look on their face grew horrified.

Another chimera had spawned out of nowhere.

”No!” the girl tried to cry out but her voice was very hoarse now and was unable to speak a lout at all.

”But… but it hasn’t been that long,” she cried as loud as she could.

”Oh, but I’m afraid it has,” a voice spoke right next to her.

”Wh—”

4 straight fingers suddenly jabbed into her right shoulders and the girl started losing her energy. By the second, her dizziness and fatigue grew to extraordinary levels.

She tried to speak, shout, move, attack, or use her darkness, but none of it worked. The pale-faced man next to her was draining her dry. 

Within a minute, she died.

The swordsman suddenly turned around when he noticed a person in his divine sense disappear. When he did, he noticed a hooded figure standing next to the girl’s corpse.

”You bastard!” he shouted and sent a slash flying towards the figure, but the figure suddenly morphed into what seemed like a bird and flew away. 

The man was frustrated to see his comrade die, but he couldn’t go avenge her. If he did, his other comrade would die too, and then his tower would be gone, essentially killing him.

He might be an immortal, but against someone who was able to rip him off of his planet against his will, the swordsman had nothing.

He swiftly started fighting the monsters together at once. He was constantly taking in Qi from the surroundings as he fought, but even then, he was going to lose this battle, he was sure of it.

He didn’t know what to do. There were 2 chimeras and none of them were beatable in the span of time it took for the third one to arrive.

He tried his best to focus on the weaker ones, but ignoring the other chimera turned fruitless.

Soon, the man with the hammer couldn’t handle the two chimeras at once and was killed by multiple bolts of lightning.

The swordsman was the only one left alive, and at that time, the third monster arrived.

Only, it wasn’t a chimera.
