Chapter 407: Chimera

To put it bluntly, Lan Qingyou just thought it was very cool.

But since the other party also said it was not bad, then it should be not bad. At least psychologically, she didn't consider herself as having lost.

"As long as you like it. But your Homun... Tuatha Dé Danann are also almost exhausted. Don't you plan to replenish them?"

Lan Qingyou scanned the battlefield below.

Although the number of her Golems was decreasing sharply, the other party's Homunculi were also decreasing.

Moreover, because the two were killing each other in the sky, they hadn't been able to go down to replenish.

"Heh, just mind your own business."

Seeing the other party actually turn around to remind her, Elisa had a feeling of the world being turned upside down.

Do I need you to remind me how much of my army is left?

"I'm tired."

Suddenly, Elisa stopped in place.

"Hmm?"

When the other party stopped, Lan Qingyou also stopped and looked at her in confusion.

"I mean I'm tired of playing this pursuit game. Let's end it here."

Saying this, Elisa waved her large hand again, and an oddity with a lion's head, a goat's body, a snake's tail, and a pair of eagle wings appeared.

"This is...?"

"A Chimera, you should have heard of it more or less, right."

"Ah, hmm, I've heard of it. Is this also your research result?"

Lan Qingyou nodded.

How could she not have heard of the name of a creature like the Chimera?

Previously, when Diana was naming the city 'Typhon', she mentioned that the Chimera was one of the children of the goddess Typhon.

Lan Qingyou had only heard of this kind of mythology from Diana.

What truly made her familiar with the word 'Chimera' was the legend of synthetic beasts created through animal synthesis in Alchemy on Blue Star.

Of course, this was also something she saw while watching the Witches chat in the Tea Party.

After all, she was an Alchemist.

Compared to some mythology she had never even heard of, she naturally cared more about matters related to Alchemy.

But the moment she saw this guy, the first thing Lan Qingyou thought of was the other party's eyes.

After all, this kind of oddity itself already violated the rules of monster evolution.

Especially the lion's head and the snake's head.

Although it wasn't like she hadn't encountered this kind of two-headed creature, such as the two-headed snake, two-headed hound, and two-headed demon she met while raiding instances.

Although these monsters also had two heads, they were at least 'products of the same series'.

But the other party's two heads obviously didn't belong to the same creature, yet they were now fused together, so it could only be the result of human intervention.

Sure enough...

"Yes, cells and biological research. This is my strong suit, and also the strong suit of the Aureolus Family."

"You know that over a hundred years ago, there was a cloned black cow named Paton, right? That was the masterpiece of the Aureolus Family's ancestor. It's a pity that due to immature technology, it only lived for a few years."

Elisa proudly recounted her family's 'heroic history', and even when she mentioned the regret regarding the cloned cow later, her expression didn't change at all.

Very obviously, this 'regret' was just lip service. She herself didn't feel there was any regret.

After all, it's perfectly normal for products born from immature technology to have flaws.

And having flaws just meant there was still a lot of room for improvement for future generations, didn't it?

For example, this Chimera, which could make any ancestor faint from excitement.

"Ah, sorry, I'm just an illiterate who graduated from junior high school. I'm not very clear about what Paton and the black cow thing is."

Lan Qingyou looked at Elisa, who had turned over and mounted the back of the Chimera, and shrugged.

Hmm!?

An illiterate who graduated from junior high school!?

Elisa, who had just sat firmly, was also taken aback upon hearing Lan Qingyou say this.

And the many people paying attention off the field were the same.

No...

Saying this is somewhat a blow to people.

Others who study Alchemy haven't learned as fast or as well as a guy who only graduated from junior high school. Then what are those who graduated from renowned universities on Blue Star considered?

Worse than illiterates?

Also, since you only have a junior high school diploma, why did you look for those straight-A students and study gods when distributing Witch Potions initially? Are you looking down on those poor students?

"Forget it, saying those things is useless. Now let me end this meaningless competition!"

Sitting on the Chimera, Elisa loudly announced.

Then the snake tail of the Chimera opened its mouth and spat out a gust of wind, instantly propelling the already-winged Chimera far away.

It appeared in front of Lan Qingyou almost in the blink of an eye.

The Chimera opened its bloody maw and bit towards Lan Qingyou.

Lan Qingyou, startled, swayed her body without thinking and dodged to the side.

"Is this the magic that flashed behind me before? For a spatial magic user, you really do learn everything."

Seeing Lan Qingyou disappear from her original spot, Elisa wasn't surprised in the slightest.

After all, Lan Qingyou had already demonstrated it before, it's just that she hadn't seen it clearly at the time.

Thus, Elisa patted the Chimera's back while saying this, giving a signal.

The Chimera's lion head opened its mouth again and spat out a fireball the size of a washbasin at Lan Qingyou, who had just stopped and hadn't yet stabilized herself.

Whoosh—

The fireball whizzed past, and Lan Qingyou disappeared from her spot again, appearing on the other side.

At this moment, Lan Qingyou was a bit miserable.

Not only were the tassels of her Magic Broom ignited by the flames, even the corners of her clothes were lit.

"Ah~~~ Forgot to add fire resistance enchantment."

Sitting under the window of her sanctuary and looking up at the Sky Screen, Ruan Qingyi slapped her forehead upon seeing this scene.

Others might not be familiar with Lan Qingyou's Astral Set, but she knew it too well.

After all, it was something she made by working overtime overnight.

Not to mention fire resistance, this set didn't even have corresponding enchantments for other elemental magics applied.

It only had a very general defense enchantment written as magic defense. She originally thought that with Lan Qingyou's level and magic, this would be enough...

Now it seemed there was still a risk of being ignited when fighting others.

Noted down, it will be useful in the future.

That's right.

Compared to Lan Qingyou's miserable state right now, for Ruan Qingyi, the experimental performance was the most important.

Setting aside Ruan Qingyi's matter for now.

On Lan Qingyou's side, after patting the corner of her clothes and extinguishing the flames, she also launched her attack.

The 'main attacker' was naturally still the Floating Cannons. This thing had always been spinning around Elisa.

It just hadn't attacked while she was dodging just now.

However, Elisa was already prepared for something she had seen before.

The Chimera changed its flight trajectory almost at the same time the Floating Cannons fired their beams, causing the attack to miss.

"Elisa, why can't my beams penetrate your skin?"
