" Why are you looking at me like that? " Angel frowned.

Ran woke up from his sudden daze and composed himself. He wanted to ask about the situation but...

"Roar!"

A sound of unknown animals sounded in their ears.

"It's coming from the Village's gate quick let's hurry! " Angel pulled Ran's hand and walk towards the sound.

Meanwhile, Ran was feeling delighted about Angel's hand and how tight they were holding each other. She was the only friend he has, although Ran was a mere mortal Angel Yen did not despise him for that, instead, she was impressed by Ran's determination to fight.

Angel Yen had gone through the process of Awakening. Awakening was the term when someone breaks free from being a mortal to a cultivator. This was done when she was six. every five years representatives from Florencia sect will come to their village to perform awakening on the children that might have potential to be their disciples, this was the dream of everyone from the village, but only those who had great potential would be chosen. Angel Yen was one of those who successfully passed the awakening but not chosen. She possessed ordinary talent which Florencia sect did not like, although she felt dejected, she never stopped improving herself.

"Roar!"

At this time, another Roar from different kinds of beasts sounded in their ears, Ran could barely differentiate the beasts depending on the sound.

One was like a dog who barked loudly, the other one was like a lion who's Roars resounded like a king, and the last one was of a dragon with a very different howl from the others.

" Three beasts! how can they deal with that! " Ran said, feeling concerned for the villagers.

" Three beasts are you sure? " Angel looked at him like she was saying she already knew how many there were.

Ran didn't know how to respond to her question. With this, Angel did not pursue her question and said.

"Ran quit spacing out we have to hurry, okay?"

"Yes! yes! Of course, let's go!"

Ran and Angel Yen quickly walked in front of the gate together with the other villagers.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a sound of agony was heard. Sand and dust filled the air. The group of men that had charged at the beast flew within the dust; hints of blood could be seen under the light. Everyone's face changed when they saw the beast flying in the air with the body of a lion, wings of a dragon, and a tail that was pretty similar to a dog's tail. This beast was called Chimera, it has three heads combined of a lion, a dragon, and a dog.

Ran was stupefied his mouth was wide open, although he knew from the previous memories of the body's owner that the beasts widely populated this world, this still, was his first time to see an actual one.

As for the others, they were not new about this situation, it is not the first time that a beast attacked their village, but most of the time it was handled by their protectors sent by Florencia sect. But this time was different because the protectors who they trusted the most are already lying on the ground dead.

" Chief wasn't this beast usually not this violent, and always susceptible to gifts, food, and treasures? " a man asked.

They already tried to offer the beast their resources knowing the fact that the beast was intelligent enough to understand them, but to no avail, it kept attacking no matter what.

The village chief was also extremely puzzled, living for more than a hundred years, this was the first time that he had encountered a wild Chimera that does not accept gifts.

"Hmnnmnn Chimeras can be flattered by gifts, food, and treasures… yes, but if someone lures the Chimera for doing something more, they would do the service without thinking twice, though they have intelligence comparable to a human being, inside they are still beasts of the forest. "Said the Village Chief.

"You mean someone was behind all of this? Who could that be? And what motives did they have? " asked the man beside him.

"I don't know, but we have to solve this right now."

With that, the village chief looked at one of the men beside him and nodded. The man responded with a nod as well, then started to move from the shadows. He will report what was happening to the Florencia sect.

"Roar!"

At that moment, the Roar of the Chimera sounded again releasing an intimidating and terrifying atmosphere as everything seemed to momentary come to a standstill.

Ran was standing in front of the crowd that had put some distance to the beast, but then at this time, he noticed that something was floating at the top of the three heads of the Chimera.

Trying hard to look at what it was, Ran focused all his attention on that object. The name of the beast was at the top of the floating red bar.

After a few seconds, the red bar started to decreased based on the attack of the villagers. These villagers were all awakened cultivators, even though they are weaker than the beast, they surely outnumbered it.

Ran noticed a red pop up text whenever the villagers successfully hit the beast.

"-50"

"Huh? Wait a moment don't tell me that it's the life of the beast? don't tell me this world is like that RPG games that I usually play!!"

Ran observed even more to confirm his theory.

"This... This. This is like an RPG game! how could this be? was this also part of my new ability!?"

Thinking about how much advantage he has with this kind of ability. Ran can't help but form a smile on his face.

Observing for little more, Ran shouted.

"The Chimera has a hidden injury! Look at the thigh it is bleeding!"

His words were heard by everyone as they focused their attention on the Chimera's thigh. It was not easy to see, the thick fur was blocking the area, but based on how the chimera acted when they tried to attack that part confirmed Ran's word.

" Keep attacking the wound! " Village Chief shouted.
