At the end of the neck, a coohen’s head was attached, the beak glinting in gold and blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking closely, I was able to find many blood splatters decorating that abomination’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I guess now I know what happened to the group who went before us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fear gripped my heart but I felt secure knowing that I had high levelled protectors around myself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, it was a weird phenomena I hadn’t seen on the internet before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should I ask Eva?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief thought, I shook my head. They were getting ready to hunt that monster down, and I didn’t want to interrupt them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She did mention it being a chimera though.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I focused on their internal chat, trying to get the insight about whatever that was happening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is a tamed labyrinth, why the hell is there a chimera here? And why now?\" Eva was close to panicking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Claire seemed really frustrated too, her fist clenched onto the sword so tight that it looked white.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah shit! Shit shit shit, does it mean a dungeon break is possible?!\" Katie panicked, holding a spear in her arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s not jump to conclusions,\" The other woman of the group, whose name I didn’t quite know, petted Katie on the back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Regardless, if there is a chimera on merely the 2nd floor, the rest of the labyrinth ain’t safe either.\" Claire shook her head, \"This one isn’t a problem, but didn’t you say Jaq is on 30th?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh– Fuck! Yes! We need to go assist her! There is no way they can handle a floor 30 chimera!\" Katie nodded in urgency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Calm down, there is a chance, not a surety, that it is on the 30th floor.\" the unknown woman sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They seemed quite a weird pair, one was too calm and one was too restless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless, hearing their words I was sure of one thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This leveling trip is over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as if to swiftly prove my guess, Claire turned to me with a serious look in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aaron, leave the labyrinth after we defeat this chimera. It’s not safe anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I nodded, \"Yes I understand, give me a call when you’re done with this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was nothing I could do about this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was too weak and underleveled to prove to be any help, and even if I wanted to, I couldn’t survive the mana density on those deep floors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or... maybe I can, with my abnormally high magic stat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, I couldn’t jump straight to the 30th floor since I haven’t cleared it yet. And going one by one till 30 is plain stupid at such an urgent time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So no matter in what direction I tried to think, there was nothing I could do to help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I watched with widened eyes, watching as my sexy, slim girlfriend released her strength slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She intoned multiple spells, before disappearing from my vision in an instance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I turned around in shock, as Claire had already covered the distance between the chimera and herself, slicing her sword in a wide arc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither me, nor the monster got any time to react as blood erupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a clean cut on the goblin’s torso, accurately slicing off the golden neck and head of the coohen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I blinked and Claire was back with us, heaving slightly with her face flushed in sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her sword was back in the scabbard at her waist, her right hand holding the severed golden head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sell it after going out,\" she tossed it towards me gently and I caught the head, instantly regretting it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter the gold plating, holding a bleeding, dead decapitated head of a monster wasn’t a very good experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was a simple way around it as I took out my scabbard from the inventory and stored the head inside instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Out of sight, out of mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mhm, I will sell it.\" I coughed, sliding the falcata into the scabbard and holding it, \"You guys take care, yeah?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course.\" Claire smirked confidently, turning to look at the other women beside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haah, I hope I can be among them soon too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I turned to look at my side just like Claire, but then regretted doing that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two men from Katie’s group were teary eyed, crying and telling their partners to be very careful and not get hurt and blah blah.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t that bad of a thing, it was a sweet romantic gesture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what made me cringe was the way they were clinging onto the two girls, crying and speaking amidst their broken sobs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This same gesture would’ve been a million times better if they were just more normal, like me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I could see exhaustion flicker in the unknown woman’s eyes as she patted her lover and said everything will be alright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe seeing that I was coping with this the best, I was delegated the duty to help these two losers out alongside me, as Claire and the rest decided to rush to the 30th floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, let’s go.\" I sighed, looking at the two men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We entered the open boss room, walking past the carnage of broken stone flooring, blood splatters across the room and random chunks of flesh as well as torn limbs strewn around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I even found 3 dead bodies lying in different conditions, one was nearly intact with a beak sized hole in the skull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One looked to be crushed under the force of the mace, and also injured by the ant legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the last, it was in the worst condition, torn from many areas, chunks of metallic armor covering the gruesome remains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe being so tanky isn’t that good. I would rather be squishy and die fast than die like... that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I walked a bit into the room, but then didn’t feel any presence behind me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ugh, what a hassle. That’s why I hate crybabies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I turned around, expecting to see them cowering about the bloody mess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no. They were staring at me with blank eyes, just standing there, with no movement, no blinking, no breathing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if they were made of stone.\u003C\u002Fp>",1164,"2026-06-09T06:09:26.870Z",1,"novelbin.me","a70426c2f676333b54b799b8225414492219d2307b1a21eae7b4bce72daa0b76","my-life-in-a-fantasy-women-dominated-world-chapter-24","my-life-in-a-fantasy-women-dominated-world-chapter-22",213,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmy-life-in-a-fantasy-women-dominated-world-cover.jpg"]
