《Armipotent 》Chapter 329: Cursed Creature
Advertisement
[You have summoned Tier A+ Spirit, the nameless adolescent Chimera!]
The shade inside the sphere was moving the four limbs, stretching them out. The long tail curved toward the body almost reached the big head. Yes, the head was big, even bigger than his body, and the chimera was about five meters tall.
Four limbs creature, Tang Shaoyang was sure the sixth spirit was a beast. But Chimera? It was a foreign word as the beast usually was an evolved animal, he never heard of an animal called Chimera.
'Or is it like the Green Horn?' He thought to himself. The rat was called Green Horn while it was a horned rat, 'But what is that? A lion?'
He immediately shook his head. The lion might have a big head but it was mostly the mane that made the lion's look big. This Chimera's head was much bigger with a long and bighorn that grew straight backward.
Slowly, the sinister dark crimson particles faded away and revealed what was inside. He could not tell this was a beast or a monster. The reason the head looked big was that the beast had two heads.
One was a lion head with red-brown maned around and the other one was a goat head with sharp teeth. The horn was on the goat head with dark-grayish fur.
Down to the toned body that was similar to a lion build and had a similar color to the lion's mane. But down the waist to the hind leg, it took the same color as the goat head, dark-grayish fur.
Aside from the different colors, the four legs were also different. The forelegs were the lion's legs, it could be seen from the paw. Meanwhile, the hind legs were the goat's legs, it could be seen from the hoof.

It was bizarre enough for Tang Shaoyang, it was quite disturbing in fact. However, the last part was also even more bizarre. The long tail he saw from the shade was not a tail. It was another being, a dark-purple scaled snake, around five meters long.
From the look, it was as if this Chimera was a failure as a creature. Like a mad scientist that failed to form a new creature by combining three different animals. It was as if the three creatures were forcefully getting combined.
The snake tail looked around while sticking the long tail. The lion head and the goat head were also looking around. There was one thing in common between the three entities, it was their eyes. Pitch-black eyes with red pupils.
—The cursed creature! You have summoned the cursed creature!
Zaneos spoke up while Tang Shaoyang was confused with the bizarre creature in front of him.
'Cursed creature? Do you know something about this chimera?' Tang Shaoyang could tell that the Demon Swordsman did not take this Chimera as a beast. The demon called it a creature instead of a beast or even a demon.
—I don't know much about them, but this creature is very powerful. I never saw the adult Chimera, but my peak state could not defeat the adolescent Chimera. My sword barely hurt the creature, and this Chimera was a natural enemy of us, Demon.
Zaneos's tone was solemn and he seemed to be trying to remind him to be careful around the creature.
—Hah!? Weren't you Demon who created this cursed creature? How come the creature becomes your natural enemy instead?
Zowen quickly responded with an accusing tone when she heard the Demon Swordsman's claim. It seemed Chimera existed in both worlds, but its existence was dreaded.
—Who said Chimera was created by us? You, humans, are cunning and sly to blame this to us while we don't even know anything about it.

Zaneos raised his voice. It was rare for him to lose his composure like this. However, Zowen was firm with her belief that Chimera was created by the Demon Race.
—Heh!? Act innocent or you truly don't know anything? You, Demons, keep sending this cursed creature to our land to disrupt our peace and you still dare to say this cursed creature is not your creation?
From Zowen's words, it seemed a lot of Chimeras wreaked havoc in the human's territory. She thought it was the Demon who sent the cursed beast.
—Sending the creature to your territory? They run from us because we are strong enough to hunt them! The Demon King would always slay them, we hunt their kids, that's why they run to your territory!
'I thought you two came from different worlds?' Tang Shaoyang interrupted the two spirits. They were arguing it was as if the two came from the same world.
Sure enough, after he spoke out, the two spirits quickly stopped arguing.
—Where do you come from, Magus?
Zaneos did not call Zowen by her name. The Demon Swordsman could be salty too in the argument.
—Lunith? You?
—Grogarth.
'See, there's no need to argue. Your world might have a different history and story. Maybe what Zowen said is true since her world recorded history about the Chimera created by the demon,' Tang Shaoyang looked down at the nameless Chimera.
The cursed creature had not shown the aggressive nature as it just looked around curiously, 'But there's one thing about Chimera that is common in both worlds, it's very strong!'
Zowen and Zaneos stopped arguing as soon as they realized that it was pointless. They came from different worlds with different stories. It was clear that their argument was not valid to both.
After saying that to the two spirits, Tang Shaoyang activated [Dragon Transformation]. He would be going all out from the start to subdue the nameless Chimera. He did not care whether it was a cursed creature or a damned creature. As long as it was strong, he would take it into his spirit collections.
Tang Shaoyang flapped his wings and came down, around seven meters away from the big creature. The five meters Chimera was still two meters taller than Tang Shaoyang who was in the [Dragon Transformation].
As soon as he landed on the ground, the cursed creature looked toward him. The Chimera did not immediately attack him but observe him. The six pairs of eyes scanned him slowly.
'Can Chimera talk?' Since Zaneos and Zowen were quite familiar with the creature, he asked him.
—The adult Chimera can talk, but the adolescent one can't.
—Yes.
Zaneos gave his answer while Zowen confirmed it.
'It's a pity, I would like to avoid this meaningless fight,' Tang Shaoyang shook his head.
The Chimera jumped back, it seemed to be cautious of Tang Shaoyang.
'Huh!? I thought this guy is aggressive by nature, why does it look like a scaredy-cat to me?' He could tell from the two spirits that Chimera was a fearful creature. Even the two were wary of the Chimera.
The creature did not move, the Chimera stayed eight meters away, just observing him from a distance. The snake tail also avoided his gaze.
Tang Shaoyang also did not take the initiative since he had zero clues about the Chimera's fighting style. It was a stalemate between the two as they just stared at each other.

How would he come to terms with his new nature, his larger-than-life family, the agendas of warring factions, and the destiny he never asked for?

Its characters have their own lives and aspirations, and our protagonist is but a piece of the greater tapestry. This story is not about right and wrong, or good and evil. It's about a dragon-man being tested by fate, power, and time. It's about what it's like to live as an outsider who lost their home. But perhaps the most central theme is freedom. What does freedom really mean? What will it cost and how much might one be willing to pay for it? Does it even truly exist? Let's find out together.
