Chapter 280: Demon Slayer (V)
The devastation of his attack had cleared away any trees that were once there and even created an ugly black crater on the ground. Agnis, Zeraph, Jorge, and General Liam were bruised and bloodied, the throw left some unwanted marks on their body, but it wasn't life-threatening. Even Zero had a few of his scales missing as blood dripped down his side, neck, and face.
He was surprised at how powerful that attack was and wondered where it suddenly came from. From his understanding, he didn't have a giant fireball attack anywhere in his repertoire. Even still, he was pleased that it caused a devastating attack.
The Behemoth was barely moving; it groaned on its side with barely any energy but uselessly blinked a couple of times. Finally, all it could do was blink and breathe, and Zero knew instantly that the enemy was close to death. He willed himself to attack.
"The Behemoth's down!" Zero roared, "Attack!" His words resounded outwards, shaking everybody's soul. Their willpower skyrocketed when they saw the Behemoth down on the ground, barely even able to lift their head.
Your roar had increased fighting power to all your allies by 10%. All attacks done to your enemy will increase by 10%. The duration of this time is half a day.
The remaining players and elven soldiers pushed their tattered bodies up; their eyes were lit with fury to kill the legendary Behemoth. They took up arms, and blood and cuts were apparent, some even had dented armor and broken bones, but that didn't stop them.
"Get up!" Zero continued to chant. "If we don't kill him now, he will come after your families! Your friends! And your loved ones!" His words were like a sledgehammer that shook everyone's soul.
"Fight for their freedom! Fight for their life!"
Everyone knew the cost of letting such a monster loose. It was them or their families back home, and they knew that the thought of their loved ones being killed made them seethe with anger. Like a rumbling volcano ready to blow up, the elven soldiers were like a wave of the tsunami, rushing in to challenge the Behemoth one last time. Even the players were pulled in by the enthusiasm of everyone and charged screaming until their throats went hoarse.
When Zeraph and Agnis arrived back on the burning field around the Behemoth, they attacked. First, they shot off powerful enchanted attacks with their swords as they rushed forward, swinging their blades side-to-side in rapid succession. Then, both jumped back up on the Behemoth's body, trailing their blade into the Behemoth's skin, cutting while they ran.
Jorge clumsily ran over, excited at the thrill of the battle. For a troll, he was the most brutal fighter out of them all. His attacks were harsh, landing whenever they were open cuts or weak points.
Sekka and Valiant were so excited at the thought of killing a legendary monster that they rushed
head first with tooth and claw. Then, Vaillant summoned more skeletons' armies to back him up as they started to pop up like weeds, mixing in with Zero's remaining skeletal army. They climbed, hacked, and even sawed off any part of the Behemoth.
"Area Heal!" Sekka shouted, sunlight shining down upon the injured soldiers, healing them. She didn't do it just once; she went around to heal as many people as possible, giving her a new name as the Holy Dragon of Life on the battlefield.
Zero raced forward; he snarled as his white showed. The magic fire was brewing in his stomach, causing it to turn black. He raced up to the Behemoth's looming head, staring down at Zero, but couldn't do anything. Then, with a blast of Dark Fire, he splashed it against its face, burning its eyeballs black and charring the face.
With every ounce of deadly fire he could muster, he spat out until he could no more. The Behemoth shuddered, and with its last dying breath, it died.
