Chimera.
The elves’ auspicious holy beast. Since the Lich King’s chaotic reign a thousand years ago, the elves’ druid warriors were all either dead or injured.
Now, the elves only had Robert left.
It could be said that the druid warriors had already ceased to exist in name.
Over the years, the elves never had a druid warrior again, let alone summon the elves’ guardian of the Holy Beasts, Chimera.
Robert was faintly worried that the druid warriors of the elves would lose their bloodline.
When Chris started summoning, Robert was more nervous than anyone else.
He was already old. Perhaps in a few decades, he would return to the embrace of the God of the Forest.
At that time, the druids would truly become extinct.
When the summoning started, Robert was more nervous than anyone. This was a critical moment that concerned the survival of the druids.
When Chris did not transform, he was still slightly disappointed. Could it be that the druids were really headed toward extinction?
However, he did not expect the situation to change so drastically.
Chris, who did not possess any magical talent, had actually summoned the legendary Holy Beast, Chimera.
Robert was completely dumbfounded.
This was all thanks to the blessing of the God of the Forest. After multiple confirmations, Robert’s expression filled with delight.
“Kid, you really are the God of Luck for us elves. You are our hope, the hope of our resurrection.”
Robert patted Chris on the shoulder, laughing as his shriveled skin split open.
It seemed as though he had already witnessed the elves regain their glory from a thousand years ago.
Chris was startled by the bright twinkle in Robert’s eyes.
This gaze was a little wretched no matter how he looked at it.
This old man was a little odd!
Was it not just a summoning of a little creature?
There was no need to be so excited.
Chris looked at Chimera that was tightly clutching onto his pants. Its two little heads were raised and it met Chris’ gaze.
“Coo coo!”
Chimera purred in a skittish tone. Its pink little claws could not help but contract even tighter.
It began to climb up his pants, wanting to get closer to Chris. However, Chris, who did not have a good impression of this creature, would not allow it to do so.
He grabbed its little body and flung it away.
This utterly shocked Robert, who was standing at the side. He glared at Chris and was about to welcome Chimera back.
He was about to make a move when he saw Chimera return. It again tightly grabbed the corner of Chris’s shirt and made a cooing sound, as if it was protesting.
“Kid, what are you doing?”Robert roared at Chris.
“This is our race’s holy beast, a symbol of the elves’ strength. It is very attached to you now. You have to take good care of it, do you understand?”
Robert’s expression had never been so solemn. Chris felt a little helpless.
He grabbed Chimera and placed it on his shoulder. Although this tiny fellow was a little horrendous looking, it already acted that way. What else could he do?
Sensing Chris’ thoughts, Chimera cried out and cooed again as it waved its two little claws.
It seemed to be saying that it was not at all ugly.
Chris was shocked. Could it be that this little creature knew what he was thinking?
He had read about it in the books at the Ancient Tree of Knowledge. After signing a beast soul contract, both parties could communicate telepathically.
Earlier, had he signed a beast soul contract with this little fellow?
On top of that, with the Holy Beast of the Elf Race, Chimera?
According to Robert, once this little fellow matured, he would be comparable to a human saint-level powerhouse. Was that true?
Judging from its seemingly fragile appearance, could that just be an exaggeration?
Who would possibly know. “Coo coo coo coo…” Chimera purred.
“Huff!”
One head spat flames, while the other spat a green liquid as if to show off its skills.
“Oh right, how could I forget this? Chimera had an innate talent. One head could spit flames capable of burning the world, while the other could spit venom capable of corroding everything.”
“It’s said that the flames and venom spat out by an adult Chimera could turn an ordinary sage-level powerhouse into ashes, even if they so much as touched a trace of it.”
Robert cracked a smile, but Chris did not think much of it.
The sparks produced by the little fellow just now were considered flames?
As for the venom that could corrode everything, it was clearly just two mouthfuls of saliva.
As he watched Robert brag, Chris sank into a bad mood.
This was a little too much.
Sensing Chris’ thoughts, Chimera protested again.
“Our elves actually summoned Chimera. This matter is of great importance. We must report it to the Queen immediately.” Robert glanced at Chris and brought him to the Spring of Life.
Chris once again returned to the place that he had just left not long ago.
However, both experiences were different.
This time, the Elf Queen’s face had become even more haggard.
Chris knew that he had to think of a way to get rid of the poison in his Aunt Miene’s body.
“Greetings, Your Majesty.”
Robert and Chris bowed.
She knew that Robert had brought Chris to summon beast souls.
Chris would become a druid warrior, the poison in her body would erupt half a year later, and then she would return to the embrace of the God of the Forest.
Even if that were to happen, the Elf Queen would not feel that she had let down her younger sister’s trust, and would leave at ease.
This was the best outcome so far.
However, things did not seem to be going so smoothly at the moment.
As she saw Robert’s solemn expression, she sighed in her heart. Did it still fail in the end?
That was fine. It would be a good thing if he peacefully became a druid warrior.
Although he would not have great power, at least he would not have too many worries in the end.
Growing up happily was also a good choice.
Thinking of this, the Elf Queen said to Robert, “Mr. Robert, I’ll have to trouble you with matters relating to Chris.”
Robert was slightly stunned and quickly shook his head. What trouble was there? It was not troublesome at all.
Moreover, now that Chris had summoned the Holy Beast, Chimera, Chris’s value had increased by more than a thousand times. In his eyes, he was now a shining gem.
“Your Majesty, I have something important to report.” Robert’s solemnity surprised the Elf Queen.
She had never once seen Robert like this. Usually, when she saw him, he appeared to not have a single worry.
Could it be that Chris had successfully summoned a beast soul and a powerful one at that?
Otherwise, Robert’s expression would not have been so grim. Even if Chris had failed, Robert would not have lost anything. At most, he would have been a little disappointed.
Thinking of this, the Elf Queen felt a trace of anticipation.
“Chris summoned our race’s holy beast, the two-headed Chimera?”
The Elf Queen, who was in deep thought, casually said, “Yes, Chimera, that’s fine… What did you say?”
The Elf Queen stood up from the futon, her eyes wide, and her face filled with shock.
Chimera, it was actually Chimera.
Others might not know what Chimera represented, but the Elf Queen was well aware of it.
It had been thousands of years, and the Chimera had once again descended.
This indicated that their elf race was about to rise.
