Omega Summoner

The Behemoth is a monster that no one dared to challenge back then as it was a colossal monster that could destroy a kingdom if it rampaged. This is true because of the sheer size that this monster becomes as the largest one recorded was the size of a two-hundred-meter mountain. Just a stomp from the largest Behemoth could squash a village which is why people immediately run away when they encounter one.

Behemoths are feared monsters but there was one that was slain before and recorded in history. A powerful dragon slayer once killed a fifty meter tall Behemoth and presented its heart to the king of a kingdom that is severely ill. The king of that kingdom thanked the dragon slayer and had a feast with the Behemoth’s heart as a dish.

The sickly king suddenly became stronger once more and his sickness was erased from his body. Seeing that he became fully healed, the king rewarded the dragon slayer by having the hero wed his daughter. The king ruled the kingdom for fifty strong years before his old body became weak once more.

This rumor started the story that the Heart of a Behemoth will extend the lifespan of a mortal by fifty years. It was even recorded that the king of that nation was not able to get sick at the fifty years his life was extended. This is the reason why Behemoth Hearts became such a prized item for mortals and the reason why Behemoths are rarely seen today.

Young behemoths are born at the height of five meters and were hunted down for their hearts back then. This in turn made the Behemoth numbers dwindle and force the gigantic creatures to stay in harsh mountain environments. A Behemoth can only give birth to two offspring for its entire life which is why their numbers are incredibly low.

A Behemoth’s lifespan is only a thousand years without including the time they spend in hibernating. They are also creatures that do not become aggressive unless provoked but their kind had received inherent anger to humans. The blood in the Behemoths remember the unjust killing of their kind which is why they kill humans on sight when they encounter them in the mountains it resides.

These gigantic creatures are also inherently tough as they are covered with an exoskeleton and tough hairs that are like steel. They possess incredible physical strength and have extremely sturdy bodies as well. They are immune to almost all status effects which means that they can only be killed with powerful magic and a sharp sword created by gods.

What the stories forget to mention back then was that it was not just the Heart of the Behemoth that extended the king’s natural life. It was through powerful sorcery as well because the wife of the king back then was a powerful witch. She was not only skilled in sorcery but also brewing potions.

This was in the secret records of magic towers which is why mages would covet the Heart of a Behemoth because it is a powerful ingredient. It can help mages create a Mana Heart which lets them reforge their hearts to become Mana Organs which is similar to how the Daemos have Demon Cores. The Heart of a Behemoth is one of the secret ingredients in making this come true.

When news of a Behemoth rang across the continent, numerous kingdoms wanted its heart for themselves. The arranged knight orders and even took on the help of the players. Each kingdom wanted the Heart of a Behemoth as it provides extremely useful benefits.

Adrian also learned of this fact that it was not only them that is targeting the Behemoth but also other kingdoms. He looked at every mission there was posted in each bulletin board and the most famous one is joining the Behemoth Subjugation. Naturally, a lot of people became afraid as a Behemoth being sighted is a danger to the country.

The kingdoms of the central continent released different statements but all of them remained the same. They released that they would do everything in their power to subjugate the Behemoth and bring peace to the continent. Adrian looked at this and almost laughed out loud because these kingdoms were not moving for the good of all, maybe some of them were, but for they are moving for their own self interests.

“Still, I should be glad that they are dealing with the Behemoth since that means that I do not even need to lift a finger. I just need to deal with the alien parasite that comes out of it if it is indeed the host.” Adrian muttered.

Ascalor and the other elders only identified the Behemoth as a potential host as they are not sure that it really has been infected. The effects of having been parasitized by a World Eater Parasite is only visible after the one-week incubation period. This is also the reason why Adrian is observing the Behemoth for now as it might show signs early.

“If it is the host then that would mean that I am lucky and unlucky at the same time.” Adrian thought.

Adrian would be lucky because he already found the last World Eater Parasite. He would be unlucky because it was a field boss with a level of 350. Even Adrian would have a difficult time dealing with that colossal monster.

Even if Adrian has Kanlaon, the Behemoth has a special ability that can bring down aerial enemies called Smack Down. It is a special ability designed to kill off its favorite food which is actually gigantic bird monsters. One could know that a Behemoth is in the location when flying bird monsters are basically nonexistent as they would have eaten all of them.

Just like what Adrian determined, there are no more flying bird monsters in the area as inspected by him and Kanlaon. Adrian does not dare to summon Saena, or she might be the next meal of the Behemoth. He does not want to get the attention of the Behemoth either as it is currently rampaging in the area that he found it.

Adrian and Pann are in agreement that the Behemoth was acting strange compared to its normal behavior. Behemoths grow in size each time that they sleep, and each sleep makes them grow one meter. Behemoths only wake up once every five years which means the hundred meter tall behemoth is about five hundred years old.

“I actually agree with Pann, but it could also be pregnant. No one has ever detailed a Behemoth giving birth even the monster loving old man. It could be that the Behemoth is just pregnant and not parasitized by the World Eater Parasite.” Adrian muttered as he is actually lying on top of a cloud.

Adrian could see that the Behemoth was acting strange, but it was not strange to the point that it became crazed. It was devouring every large monster it is coming across, but it does not mean that it actively looks for food. It just ate all the monsters that it encountered but it did eat the whole body even the bones.

“I am already feeling sorry for the people that are attempting to raid that monster. Why am I feeling sorry when I am also going to need to kill that monster if it is confirmed that the World Eater Parasite is inside of it.” Adrian muttered as he suddenly heard lots of people shouting. ℴ𝘮

Adrian looked down and saw numerous armies gathered at the location of the Behemoth. They were not being stomped by the Behemoth since it was busy eating its fresh meal. The human armies were also too small for such a gigantic creature to immediately recognize even if hatred for them is ingrained in its blood.

Adrian remembered how the True Saint Lime described the Behemoth when she first encountered it. She encountered it when she saved a small village that lived on the side of a mountain. The mountain that they were living on was actually the side of the Behemoth and she was also there for another mission.

She recalled that a small crater actually crashed on the mountain a day before the Behemoth woke up. This is the reason why she reported that the Behemoth might be the monster that Adrian and the demons were looking for. If not, then she would have reported a powerful monster to the Daemos as they usually do something about it if it destroys the balance of nature.

“She also reported that the Behemoth did not even mind them when it awakened. All it did was immediately take a bite of the side of a mountain since Behemoths often eat stone and dirt when they awaken to stave off hunger.” Adrian thought as he looked on what the armies below the Behemoth would do.

Clouds on top the Behemoth started to darken as thunder and lightning rolled. Adrian observed that it was actually mages that did this. With a powerful and loud burst of light, lightning came down on the eating Behemoth.
