After fighting for so long, they knew that the battle had reached its end. The dog couldn't be considered a powerhouse anymore after getting blasted by the five pawns.
Meanwhile, Theo and the chimera had been heavily injured. They were in no position to fight for another thirty minutes.
Theo and the chimera glared at each other, gathering the remaining energy in their bodies.
The chimera was a fisherman, so he would have a hard time fighting in close combat. Theo was confident he could beat him in close combat, so he leaped forth while gathering all the Magic Power into his blade.
The chimera didn't seem to be backing down. He also put everything in his fishing rod, turning it into a sword.
Unexpectedly, the dog suddenly emerged from the explosion.
"!!!" The bark alarmed Theo and the chimera as their heads turned around, finding the heavily injured dog.
The dog had lost his right paw and half of his right leg. The wings on his back were charred back and lost most of their feathers.
It seemed that the dog was near his death. Only his willpower pushed him through this. His expression was unwilling, at least, he wanted to make Theo pay a huge price before dying.
He acknowledged his loss, so this was the time to drag Theo with him.
The dog was surrounded by multiple roads as he extended it forward.
"!!!" Theo tried to avoid it, but the fisherman threw his hook.
*Clink!*
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs expected, Theo focused more on the chimera as he blocked the hook. At the same time, he summoned his Death Avatar to catch these roads, albeit the hook did something else.
Theo's body shook when the hook actually caught his Magic Power. After that, the chimera waved the fishing rod to the side, dragging Theo straight to the roads.
This way, the Death Avatar didn't have enough time to solve the incoming attacks. Even Theo's Blink wasn't fast enough.
Five roads eventually stabbed Theo: one in his waist, two in his legs, and two in his hands.
"Kh." Theo gritted his teeth because he felt the roads' suppression. If he got weakened even further, he was afraid that he couldn't finish the chimera.
So, Theo used his Blink to teleport to the dog's back. He used the energy he had gathered earlier and sent the dog's head flying.
Instead of grieving and regretting his defeat, the dog actually smirked and said his last words with confidence. "I'll be waiting for you in the underworld, Human!"

...
Theo received several notifications. But he ignored them because the chimera had thrown his hook again, trying to deliver a killing blow.
Theo used the World Re-Creation to expand the reality above him, pushing him downward.
The chimera waved his fishing rod so that his hook would follow Theo's movement. Theo never intended to back away even with all these injuries.
He might not be able to recover here for a long time, but there was a person in his group who could heal him. So, he didn't mind having all these injuries as long as it wasn't enough to kill him.
Hence, Theo immediately used all the points he'd just got to increase his Magic Power, giving a bit more Magic Power to use.
Then, he gathered all that Magic Power into his blade.
He struck the hook with everything he got, including the Energy Blast, Enhanced Concentration Capacity and Thunderclap Fist.
*Bam!*
A sonic boom echoed as the hook and Theo launched each other. However, it seemed Theo was stronger as he was only pushed back for thirty feet while the hook was launched at its owner
The chimera poured more Magic Power to control the string, but it seemed he had used a bit too much power that the hook was slowing down instead of stopping.
"Kh." The chimera jumped to the side as the hook struck the ground, turning it into a crater.
Theo had reached the ground as well and immediately headed straight to the chimera.
"Haaaaa!" Theo roared, pumping all the spirit he had.
The chimera also let out a roar, not wanting to lose against Theo.
They were swinging their weapons at the same time, but Theo made one last tweak before he reached the chimera.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was just a simple trick but quite deadly.
Theo's Telekinesis actually stopped his momentum and his weapon changed from its sword form to the sniper rifle form.
"!!!" The chimera was shocked, finding Theo pointing it at him while smiling. He gritted his teeth and tried to move away, but it was too late.
Theo pulled the trigger as the sniper rifle shot the compressed Magic Bullets. The blue Magic Bullet expanded as soon as it came out of the muzzle and flew forward like a beam. Its size was five times that of the chimera.
But as expected from a World Class Monster, it managed to move fast enough that the beam only hit his entire arm.
In that instant, his entire right arm that was holding the fishing rod was completely obliterated, leaving only the fishing rod. It might be due to the attachment it had with its owner, but the fishing rod wasn't pushed away.
The chimera might be struggling, but it still planned to fight until the last drop. He couldn't use his left hand because of the wound, so it bit the fishing rod and threw it at Theo.
"You two are amazing. You've my words, I'll give you a proper burial as a warrior." Theo said with conviction as he ducked down, avoiding the hook.
"Tsk." The chimera clicked his tongue while looking down, finding Theo turning the sniper rifle back to the sword to cut his legs. After that, Theo moved upward and cut his wings before eventually his head.
Even after his head was severed, the chimera didn't stop his glare at Theo as if trying to resist him until he was completely gone.
