Omega Summoner

“They might actually be able to kill it but that means that I would not have to trouble myself with it.” Adrian muttered as the lightning bolt hit the Behemoth directly once again.

Adrian initially thought that the Behemoth was done for, but he noticed the electricity running to the ground itself. The Behemoth actually reduced half of the damage that it should get by redirecting the electricity to the ground. The fact that a monster knows this means that the Behemoth is not actually purely a beast but has a certain level of intellect.

“Its intellect could also be due to the World Eater Parasite, so I still need to observe.” Adrian stated as he looked at the Behemoth.

All the accounts that he learned about the Behemoth is that it is just a powerful and towering monster. It never detailed that it possesses some sort of intelligence. He is observing it as intelligence could have been gained when the Behemoth got parasitized by the World Eater Parasite.

The World Eater Parasite is known for making its current host better than before. This is a way for the World Eater Parasite to live longer and stronger as it feeds on its hosts. The World Eater Parasite does not have a problem with making its hosts stronger as it would eat its own host eventually.

The more powerful the host then the more powerful the World Eater Parasite could become. If the host of the World Eater Parasite has outlived its use, then the parasite would travel to the brain of its host and devour it. Sometimes it just bursts out of its own skull when the World Eater Parasite is too big to travel to the brain.

“Still, the Behemoth is done for unless it has a powerful skill that could wipe out everything in its surroundings.” Adrian thought as he could see that the armies were being supported by Pristina and the other priests from the Church of Light. .

The human armies seem to be working together secretly as they were actually being led by the Church of Light. It seems Pristina had offered something to the monarchs of each kingdom in order to defeat the Behemoth. Pristina made sure to give the monarchs of each country the special soup that can extend lives as long as she gets the core of the Behemoth.

She told them that she has no interest for the Hearth of the Behemoth but just the core inside of it. The monarchs of each country that she recruited licked their lips as they would get to taste the sweetness of living longer. Pristina intentionally told this to the monarchs of each kingdom but also left out that the core is the real item that grants an extension of lifespan.

She also left out a pretty interesting detail as how the special soup applies its effects. The special soup does increase the life of those that drink it but there is also a great drawback. Once the natural life of a mortal is done, the soup would activate its properties by extending the life of those that consume it.

The life is indeed extended but at the cost of the body of the mortal being broken down slowly. What the story back then failed to tell is that the king died after fifty years looking by experiencing the greatest of pains. He then perished like all the nutrients was sucked out of his body because that is what really happened.

The soup is not a miracle life extender but a potion that forces one’s body to heal and regenerate as if they were at their prime. For the fifty years that the king’s life was extended, it was the mana from the Behemoth’s Core that sustained his body. When the mana from the Behemoth’s Core finally ran out, the king’s health declined instantaneously as his own body could not sustain his life.

The soup itself was a horrible death sentence promising the gift of life extension, but it was not that. The queen back then could not bear to lose her king as their heirs were still young and could be easily manipulated by the schemes of other nobles. She was a witch that did not know the inner workings of the kingdom and had no allies in the nobles which is why she decided to extend the life of her king using black magic.

Pristina knows all of this as she was already a Bishop of the Church of Light back then as she was the one that blessed the Dragon Slayer that killed a Behemoth back then. She also took half of the core from the Heart of a Behemoth from the queen as she learned the truth about her. It is also the reason why she suddenly grew in power as she devoured the Behemoth’s Core which increased her ability to absorb the light element.

“Once I get the core of a matured Behemoth then I might be able to go against the other high-ranking angels! Just all of you wait for my glorious return as all of you shall bow down to my feet.” Pristina thought as she could see the other high-ranking angels groveling at her feet.

She volunteered herself to kill the Behemoth when it appeared as the humans were practically begging for them to help. She thought that this was a great chance to get the Behemoth’s Core as the other high-ranking angels do not seem to know the monster’s worth. In the end, she was the one that was dispatched as the other seven angels above her do not like to be around humans that they look at as worms. .𝒎

“If I could show my true form here then that Behemoth would already be on the ground, but I must not show that the Pope of the Church of Light is actually an angel.” Pristina thought.

Pristina understood the humans all too well as she has been living as one for the past centuries. What the humans want most is a stable life and once that has been achieved then they want overflowing bounty. She also learned what humans hate the most and that is being deceived.

She has seen lots of civil wars during her time due to the result of the masses being fooled or taken advantage of. She knew that the humans would turn their backs on the angels once they learned that they have been running the Church of Light all this time. They would suddenly question why the Church of Light or the angels not become more active when sorrowful events happen.

The humans would forget all the things that they have done for them and immediately point their fingers to the angels on why they did not do more. Even if the angels under the Church of Light had done barely enough, once the humans learned that they were more powerful than they thought then the angels would be persecuted for not doing their best. A weird logic but this is what Pristina has learned from the humans as they are a race that want more when they know they can get it.

“Nevertheless, these worms would not dare persecute us when we become the ultimate power in this world. I shall be one of them when I get my hands on that Behemoth Core.” Pristina stated as she does not know it herself, but she has already taken in the negative attitudes of the race that she calls worms.

The Behemoth is constantly bombarded by magic spells while it used large area skills that deal damage to all the enemies around it. The Behemoth would have won this if the human armies are actually not being supported by the Church of Light. The damage that the Behemoth is dealing to the human armies are all being healed by the Church of Light members.

The Behemoth might be standing and halving all the damage that the human army is doing but it could not deal a lethal blow on them. The human army’s morale could be seen at its peak as they could see the Behemoth becoming slower and slower. They could feel that their victory is already upon them as the Behemoth’s armor started to crack.

“It seems that they will actually be able to kill it after all.” Adrian muttered as he could see that the Behemoth’s health has already dropped to 40%.

The human army is whitling the Behemoth down by making strategic uses of its army and spells. The mage unit are the ones that are the core of this army. The mage unit are the ones that are truly dealing the damage needed to kill the Behemoth while the other classes are making sure that the mage unit is alive.

“UWAAH!” The Behemoth suddenly produced a powerful roar that shook the surroundings as it suddenly started to gather energy from its mouth.

[The Behemoth is using Continental Destroyer. Evade the absolute death beam.]
