Incidentally, after freeing all these dozens of souls from their fleshy prisons and purifying their souls using the help of Emeraldine, I got a lot of EXP.
Does this count as killing them? I guess so!
Ding!
[You've earned 37250 EXP]
[Your Level has increased from level 15 to level 16!]
Oh damn, it even gave me a level. Now I feel a bit bad for what I did…
Did I really do the right thing?!
Oh well, whatever.
After that, I began to put everything I could see into my Inventory. Even the most useless of garbage was now part of my property and I could see that my Pickpocket Title Skill was actually rising in level!
"Bwahaha! Mine! Mine! Mine!"
I was going absolutely mental as I gave in to my devilish greed.
"Huh?! Who's there?!"
The voice of an old man resonated behind the massive metallic door in front of me.
Huh? Did he find me out already?
Time to sneak around!
I quickly went back to meddling with the shadows as the metallic door that was sealed shut suddenly opened wide.
A dozen of strange chimeric beasts came out of it, roaring and then sniffing the entire place for any trails left behind.
Ohhh, these are quite the dedicated EXP Bags! And they do look juicy.
There were around 9 C+ Ranked Chimeric Beasts, while the other six or so were C- or even D+… Nothing that we cannot handle nor massacre.
However, much like we did with the goblins, I wanted to nourish these kids and let them leech off EXP from killing weakened creatures, so I decided to capture them all alive.
The older man's voice was far away and by expanding my senses, I could hear him commanding more beasts.
The beast with the best smelling sense found me already, but it was too late. I expanded my shadows around them and formed a myriad of tentacles, wrapping around the variedly-shaped creatures while absorbing all of their Mana continuously, which only fed into this ridiculous technique using [Shadow Manipulation].
"GROOARR?!"
"RAAAAARR!"
"GRRYYARRR!"

"Hehe, you're all caught up between my deadly webs!"
[Shadow Manipulation] is overpowered! Even more, if we fuse it with [Supreme Magic] to boot, and there are no problems with Mana cost when I have Mana Siphon to absorb the Mana of my enemies.
I called out the gang as Lucifer, Partner, Emeraldine, and Kuro emerged from my shadows, immediately attacking the monsters with everything they had.
I had immobilized the creatures for them, so it was up to them to deal enough damage!
SLASH!
Partner used her spear to pierce through the stomach of a lion-like chimera with several heads of different creatures such as goats, lizards, and the like, and then filled it with venom through the spear's effect.
Barely hanging onto its life, the beast was thrown inside my Shadow Storage, where a group of Undead I had stored inside, mostly Ravens and Bone Beasts, plus the pair of kids who ganged up on it until its last breath.
An army of Undead is not good without strong Undead! So the best thing I can do is begin leveling up my other troops aside from my main party.
I've already made some simple skeletons using monster bones we had hunted, which became Bone Beasts after fusing various skeleton piles together into an undead, and now they were all ravaging the living chimera until its last breath.
They all gained tons of shared EXP, and I could see that the kids also leveled up a couple of times straight away. Of course, this is a little incentive.
After a couple more levels, they'll be ready to fight more confidently by themselves, so they can gain battle experience that doesn't consist in just ganging up on powerful beasts to increase their stats through leveling up.
"ROAR!"
Lucifer roared fiercely as he used his draconic claws to slash through a large snake-like hydra with limbs of lizards stuck to it. It also had a poisonous stinger similar to that of a bug.
The creature was a D+ Ranked Chimera, and our beloved dragon's claws were then enough to slash through its scale armor.
He sliced its ribs and then sliced it in half. Surprisingly, the monster continued to live after that, ready to be butchered by the rookies down below.
Without further ado, I threw it down the shadow pit as the twins and the Undead I had stockpiled began to have an EXP feast.
Once more, another beast was thrown inside right after courtesy of Partner. This one resembled a giraffe with the head of a lizard and the claws of a lion. I don't know how this stupid scientist thought this was a good idea of a design. It looked horrendous.
The monster was left crippled by Partner and then quickly massacred by those inside the shadow storage.
I could feel within all the chimera beast a core of dark magic, probably a failed version of the one the kids had, which was much more perfected into their systems, while the cores these chimeras leaked too much magic energy and looked painfully inefficient.
Normal monsters have Magic Crystals, but Chimera are like monsters artificially made using parts of beasts and monsters that already died and were revived as one, therefore, they lack a magical organ that helps them at regulating mana and using magic… But with these shitty Dark God Fragment Cores, it was possible for these monsters to be able to get their magic going, although not as efficient as real monsters.
I kept throwing them into my Shadow Storage as they massacred them down there. It was going to be pretty hard to get a challenge out of this as I had gotten way too overpowered with my new job, and we were honestly a big group of strong guys all around.
I helped out by making my Shadow Tentacles as sharp as Shadow Arrow Spears, and piercing the monsters' bodies, so it could be even easier to kill them for the rookies.
The massacre continued. It feels good to just sit here to relax and slaughter for once.
