The chimera had awakened, I felt a load from my mind to be cleared. The penalty removal for Sam was not that of a big deal but it could be for me.
Penalty and ability is the only thing side by side by me. Again the message came,
[The reward rank is increasing]
[The level and grade of trial is increasing]
The message came continuously at me for the 6th time now. Guess my penalties are not so easy to absorb.
I without wasting time activated my ability to cancel all penalties for the time being. The system told,
[You don't have any penalties to apply the skills on]
Such comment didn't shocked me, of course the glitches and loopholes are fixed as the time passes.
The chimera upgraded into an organism who had claws of a falcon, the tail was of stone fish (poisonous), incomprehensible face with the jaw of hippo, eyes of eagle and ears of a man.
The whole body was a jungle too, the fur of mixed colour of different animals including even reptiles, aquatic and all.
I was quite amazed, the stats of it were getting a significant boost from all the penalties.
The size of it grew by by an inch every second but then, after a minute the size decreased terribly short.
The size was equivalent to half of Sam's height, so approx 90 cm. The small entity extended his hand and the hand became as plane as a blade.
The charactic showed quite progress for the evolution of the chimera as if the chimera was growing itself further.
The message window became red as scarlet and the white words were like the moon in red sky.
[Caution: System Error]
[Unidentified being has entered, the difficulty level has extended the current level by 10 folds]
[Initiating a new quest]
[Quest: Survive for 10 minutes]
[Difficulty: ★♠]
The difficulty was unknown symbols, I had seen them both but can't recognise, the second symbol was at Sam's status and the star was at mine.
The quest had started and in first ten seconds the chimera injured Sam, the flesh of right arm was severed and that monster was eating it.
The cry was painful to hear, I tried to calm down and try to secure Sam. I designated Param to take care of while I handle the chimera.
The voice of chimera grew in my head as it growled at me with a close range. I instinctively put him under a nightmare, and he frozen in a single place.
A minute has passed as I was ready to be gnawed at by his teeth. He was not waking but without doing anything else, I was in a dilemma.
Now 4 minutes have passed and the curiosity got better off me. I tried to suck his nightmare but it grew indefinitely.
After 8 minutes, I have been continuously sucking his nightmare which he had not been able to break through.
I thought to now leave it for better, not to mess or even a kitchen knife can make you crawl on the floor if misused the opportunity.
A sound came of something falling!?
Is it awake?!
[Time: 8:56 minutes]
