Chapter 49 – Behemoth (5)
The two horns of the Behemoth, emitting blue light, began to tremble as if they would explode at any moment.
While everyone was dodging in all directions in anticipation of a massive attack, only the warrior drew his sword and approached the Behemoth.
Behind me, my colleagues shouted for me to come back with expressions asking what the hell I was doing, but I didn’t care and went forward.
‘You can’t avoid that…’
If you avoid it, Hero himself may live, but many people will die in the aftermath.
The warrior, whose sixth sense was incomparably higher than before, felt that much power from the horns of the Behemoth.
If you fail, you die.
It is not only the hero who will die, many people here will die, including the hero.
But I couldn’t back down. Now that his body was overflowing with power, the warrior focused on his senses and waited for the thunder to strike.
“That guy… !”
While everyone was running away in all directions in preparation for the upcoming attack, Rose, realizing the hero’s intention, shouted at the hero.
“You are using it for the first time!! But did you think you were using it in a situation like this?!”
“That is not an attack that can be avoided!! I have to stop here!!”
The hero did not say such a thing blindly without thinking.
Now that his body senses, including his agility and visual acuity, had gone to the limit, the hero was confident that even if it was a thunderbolt, he would slash it from the front.
-Pajijik!!
A weak electric current leaked from the horn of the Behemoth flashed, and everyone who watched it had a premonition that an attack would soon come.
The Behemoth slowly opened its mouth and inhaled. He breathed in so much that his chest swelled to the point that the Behemoth let out a thunderbolt with a roar that rang the heavens and earth.
“Gooooo!!!”
The two thunderbolts fired from the horns became one and headed towards the hero with an intense light that could inadvertently close one’s eyes.
Originally, two bolts of lightning became one, making their power several times stronger, but this one was better for the hero.
‘It’s no longer necessary to strike twice.’
His hands would tremble with tension at the first use of magic, but the warrior’s hands did not tremble.
The hero who held the sword with a resolute attitude put his mana into his sword and waited for the moment when his thunderbolt struck him.
The thunderbolt, which left the sound first, rushed right into the hero’s heart.
However, the warrior’s sword, which was swung faster than the rush of lightning, cut through the lightning.
No, it looked like it had been struck by lightning.
The Behemoth’s thunderbolt, composed of mana, was stripped of almost all of its mana through the warrior’s sword, and its form collapsed into dozens and hundreds of branches.
Adventurers and wizards shouted excitedly at the sight that looked like lightning was cut with a sword when viewed from the side.
“… A human can cut lightning!”
“I don’t know what kind of magic that is, but it must be S rank magic!!”
“Thunderbolt… Cut it.”
Behemoth, having lost all its thunderbolts, was virtually no better than a toothless lion.
Even though the massive body still remained, hadn’t the hero already overpowered him once?
Everyone looked at the warrior, thinking that it was the end, but the warrior who absorbed the thunderbolt did not move a single step and stayed there.
“Hero?”
“Ugh… !!”
The absorption was successful, but the absorbed mana was too much, so it failed to discharge the most important mana.
The hero, who could not handle the enormous amount of mana far beyond his own, hardened on the spot.
And, perhaps noticing that fact, the Behemoth started running toward the hero with a twinkle in its eyes.
“Haa!!”
Marta deployed hundreds of thousands of barriers in front of the Behemoth to block its speed as much as possible.
However, the speed of the Behemoth did not die in the slightest and moved forward, breaking the barrier like a piece of paper.
“No, stop it!!”
The wizards fired their magic, and the warriors, including Mirian and Grindella, drew their swords and charged Behemoth.
Everyone desperately shot magic and swung their swords at the bridge, but the Behemoth did not stop.
As desperate as they were, the Behemoth was also desperate.
The shadow of death felt by Behemoth, who had never descended from the position of a strong man in his life.
Behemoth instinctively noticed that the shadow had now cast on him.
Here he must be killed someday if he is not killed somehow.
Captivated by that thought, the Behemoth continued to break his defenses and move forward without paying a glance to the adventurers on the floor.
And the moment he lifted his front foot to trample the Behemoth warrior who had reached the front of the hero.
“I think I’ll let it go!!”
The final shield, which squeezed out all of Martha’s holy power, blocked the Behemoth’s front legs.
The front foot of the Behemoth, which touched the last shield, could not penetrate the shield and began to tremble with his foot on the shield.
-Thud!! Thud!!
The Behemoth took a step back and slammed his foot down once again, cracking his defenses.
“Ugh… !!”
He squeezed out the remaining divine power to restore the shield again, but unfortunately the speed at which the shield was broken was faster than the speed at which it was restored.
‘If this is the case… !’
At that time, Martha is thinking about whether she should rather leave the defense shield broken and run away with the warrior on her back.
“Hold on a little longer!!!”
Hearing Rose’s voice beside her, Martha believed Rose and restored her defenses.
-Thud!! Thud!! Thud!!
Every time the Behemoth slammed his foot down, fragments from the broken shield landed on Martha’s body.
However, the fragments did not touch Martha’s body.
– Clink!
Perhaps thinking that she couldn’t stop the Behemoth with her own sword, Mirian returned to Martha’s side and cut off all her fragments.
“The fragments… I do it somehow You focus on your defenses.”
“Yes… Thank you.”
Martha, who was a little relaxed, focused on her shield, and she glanced back at Rose behind her.
Returning to the hero’s side, Rose put her hand on the hero’s chest and drew out the mana that was excessively concentrated in her heart.
Although Elysium is large, Rose is the only wizard who can maintain weather manipulation magic and interfere with other people’s mana.
‘In a little while… !!’
If you pull it out a little further, you can extract enough mana for the warrior to move.
– Clink!
As she continued to drain her mana, she heard an ominous sound like her glass breaking.
Rose managed to turn her head and look to her side to find Martha lying on the ground, her shields all broken and most of her divine power exhausted.
‘What if… ? I have to remove the magic and teleport them to a farther place.’
However, even if you do that, you will not be able to go very far, and once your life is threatened, the Behemoth will pursue Rose and her warriors to the end.
It’s time to think about how to get out of this predicament.
-Chin.
On Rose’s shoulder, the hand of the still unmovable hero was placed.
“Yoah, how are you…”
“While Rose is extracting mana… I also increased her body enhancement amount with mana…”
However, because of that, the miracle of healing could not catch up with the speed of healing the body.
The miracle of healing failed to catch up, so the hero put all his strength into his right hand, ignoring his tearing body.
And as it was, it leaped with all its might toward the Behemoth with its front legs raised.
“Ouch… !”
Unlike the first blow, Behemoth’s eyes were stained with fear as he properly recognized the hero’s existence and power.
Soon the pain will return.
Realizing that fact, Raised his front legs and turned around, but there was no way he could escape the hero’s attack with his massive body.
“Haaaaa!!!”
The fist, thrown along with the hero’s spirit, pierced the Behemoth’s skin and pierced its heart, which was protected by hard bones and flesh.
If he had been in that state earlier, no matter how brave he was, he wouldn’t have been able to pierce his heart with one shot.
Ironically, however, the thunderbolt that was shot to kill the hero became the hero’s power and, in turn, became a spear that killed Behemoth.
“Gooooo clothes…”
Behemoth, like a mountain that would never collapse no matter what, fell to the ground with blood gushing from its chest.
Seeing this, the faces of the adventurers who thought it was all over now brighten up.
No matter how legendary he is, how can he survive even if his heart is pierced?
“I did it… You did it!!!”
Everyone laughed and shouted at the words someone burst out.
Behemoth, the beast king who destroyed countless countries, has fallen.
Even if there are people who have defeated them, how can we not rejoice in front of this feat that will go down in history?
“Under… I was dubious, but I really thought I could do it. Warrior! Come back quickly!! A lot of money will come in, so let’s party with it!!”
Likewise, the excited Lina called out the hero’s name, but neither the answer nor the hero returned.
“Warrior?”
A cold sweat runs down Rina’s back as she senses something strange about her.
Confused, Lina took a step in the direction the hero had flown with a blue face.
But for a moment, Martha, who fell to the floor, grabbed Lina’s feet as she was advancing towards her hero.
“D-Take me… Yo, if the hero is injured, I… !!”
She said she would heal her, but Marta, who had exhausted all her divine power, couldn’t even speak properly.
“Now who are you treating… Oh! Excuse me… !!”
As Lina turned her head in the direction she pointed, Grindella, on her horse, ran to where Martha had fallen, carrying her fallen champion on her back.
“I need treatment soon!”
The condition of the hero given by Grindella was terrible.
The wound, which had pierced the Behemoth’s stomach and started from her right hand, went up her arm and cut through her warrior’s right breast.
Looking at the wound so deep that you could see the beating heart, it was clear to anyone that the hero was in danger of dying.
“Ha… Ha… ! Yo, hero!!”
Marta tried to heal the wounds on the warrior’s body with her trembling hands, but despite her heart, the divine power in her body was far from lacking.
“Why… Why not… !!”
No matter how hard they try, the weak divine powers gather for a while and then disappear. The warrior’s body is not healed.
“Ah… !! Ah!!!!”
As Martha shuddered at the feeling of helplessness she felt for the first time in her life, Mirian, who was next to her, said:
“There must be a superlative healing potion in Horde’s backpack!! Horde… Where is the Horde!!”
Even when Mirian cried out Horde’s name, Horde didn’t even show his nose.
Could it be that he was caught in the Behemoth’s attack and died?
When Horde did not come out no matter how many times Mi An called, Rose, who was next to her, asked.
“Tell me about that guy. Maybe I can find it with my magic.”
“He is a man in his 3rd or early 30s with a belly. He has a large backpack on his back… And…”
“Good. That’s enough. Eyes in the sky…”
The Eye of the Sky, as the name suggests, is a magic that allows you to see the land from the sky.
“… Found.”
There was no cover, so Rose found the Horde, but it didn’t take long.
Perhaps he was thinking of running away, Horde was some distance away, and he fell off his horse and fell to the ground.
“Summons!!”
With one word of Rose’s spell, Horde, who had been far away, fell out of thin air.
As Horde fell, Lina put her foot on Horde’s stomach and said,
“Hey! Wake up soon… , Did this bastard pass out?”
Lina and everyone else looked astonished for a moment, but Miian immediately turned her Horde over and began to rummage through her rucksack.
And not long after, as Mirian found a healing potion in her backpack, Martha reached out her hand to Mirian and said,
“… Dad, please hurry up.”
“Ah, that, yes…”
Overwhelmed by Martha’s deafening eyes, Mirian didn’t say anything and handed her the healing potion.
After receiving her potion, Martha opened the cap of her bottle and carefully sprayed the potion on the wounded warrior’s body.
New flesh began to grow on the part touched by the potion, and in an instant, the hero’s body returned to its original state, as if it were a lie that he had been injured.
“Everything, I’m glad…”
Grindella, who was relieved to see the hero who had returned to normal, sat down on the floor.
“If my benefactor died here, I would… Uh?”
As Grindella looked at the hero with her trembling eyes, the hero’s right hand, normally covered by a glove, came into her eyes.
“Prince Martha… This?”
“I wondered if that was the case…”
The mark of a brave man that a follower of God can never know.
That caught the eyes of Grindella and Rose.
