Chapter 157 The Origin Earth Elemental Spirit - Behemoth

Upon hearing the news of the "Destruction Dragon King's" resurrection, the high priests fell into a deathly silence throughout the council chamber.

It took a full half-cup of tea time before anyone spoke.

"What...what should we do?"

The High Priest rubbed his temples, his brows furrowed into a knot.

The name "Destroyer Dragon King Setorque" is marked with cinnabar in the secret files of the Slane Theocracy, indicating the highest threat level.

That is something that can truly destroy the world.

Over a hundred years ago, the True Dragon King went to great lengths to seal it away.

And now, it has broken the seal.

Given the current strength of the Slane Theocracy, it only has two trump cards to deal with it: the awakened god-man and the super artifact [Alluring Beauty].

But neither of those cards is currently in my hand.

The Dark Scriptures took them to the Plains of Kaz to deal with the subordinate gods who had fallen into demonic ways.

"How about we call them back?" Chief Vulcan tentatively suggested.

The Earth High Priest immediately objected: "No, we can't delay things on the Kaz Plains either. Although those demons aren't killing people now, who knows what will happen if we leave them unchecked? Besides—"

He lowered his voice: "Tens of thousands of people have already died because of those who have fallen from God. If we don't resolve this quickly, the reputation of our theocracy, which has lasted for hundreds of years, will be completely ruined."

"Is fame more important or the world?"

"Of course the world is more important, but what if we call them back and something even bigger goes wrong over there?"

The debate erupted.

The High Priest tapped the table, signaling everyone to be quiet.

"Calling them back is definitely not an option," he said, "but we can't just ignore the Dragon King of Destruction either."

He paused for a moment, then explained his solution.

"We'll proceed in two steps."

"First, inform the True Dragon King. Those guys claim to be the guardians of the world, and they can't ignore this. Besides, they were the ones who sealed and destroyed the Dragon King last time, so they definitely have a way to seal him again."

"Secondly, inform the God-King of the Kingdom of Inberia."

He pointed out the window, in that direction, towards the meteorite crater that Leylin had punched years ago.

"With that person's power, dealing with the Destruction Dragon King shouldn't be a problem. The question is whether he's willing to get involved."

The other high priests nodded in agreement.

Indeed, with the power to punch through a mountain, dealing with the Destruction Dragon King should be a piece of cake.

But why should they help them?

Last time someone came to discuss a merger, they refused outright. Although things didn't turn sour, it certainly didn't leave a good impression.

"Send someone over," the High Priest said. "First, to explain what happened last time, and second, to persuade them to act for the greater good of humanity."

He looked at the Wind God Chieftain: "Go, take the Wind Flower Holy Scripture with you, and while you're at it, find out the specifics of Inberia. We know too little about that country."

The Wind God Chief nodded: "Understood."

"What if neither the True Dragon King nor that person intervenes?" someone asked.

The High Priest remained silent for a moment.

"Then we can only call back the Awakened Gods and the True Artifacts," he said. "Although the reputation of the Theocracy may be damaged, the safety of humanity and the survival of the world are more important than reputation."

He glanced around and said in a low voice, "At worst, we can just clean it again afterwards."

Everyone nodded silently.

This is the only option available.

On the Elf Kingdom side.

Elf King Decem Hogan has been in a good mood lately.

Because he found a suitable "mother".

The female adventurer named Nana had just returned from her travels. She was considered exceptionally strong among the forest elves, and her appearance suited his taste.

Most importantly, she has traces of the Eight Desire Kings' bloodline, though very faint, they are definitely there.

De Kem estimated that Nana was a descendant of one of his previous children, and should be considered his granddaughter.

Although it sounds like incest, it doesn't matter. If I can have offspring with her, I might be able to produce even more powerful offspring.

As for her own wishes—

De Kem didn't think that mattered.

He is the Elf King, a descendant of the Eight Greed Kings, of noble blood and great power. It is her honor that he has taken a liking to her, and her resistance and struggle are merely adding a little fun.

At this moment, he was pressing Nana against a pillar in the palace, preparing to complete this "procreation ceremony".

Nana struggled desperately, but the difference in strength was too great, and she couldn't break free at all.

At that very moment, BOOM!!!

A huge object fell from the sky, smashing through the roof of the palace and landing on Decem.

Dekam was hit so hard he saw stars and lay on the ground, stunned for several seconds.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Nana broke free and ran out of the palace without looking back.

She was leaving this place, leaving the Elf Kingdom, and never coming back.

Decem had no interest in her whatsoever.

He had only one thought on his mind right now—

Who is it? Who dares to smash it?

He got up and looked at the thing that had fallen on him.

It was a huge black bear.

It was as tall as a three-story building, with jet-black fur all over its body, covered with dense runes that emitted a faint glow, clearly indicating that it was no ordinary creature.

【Rune Bear】.

After wandering in the forest for so long, it finally wandered to the capital of the Elf Kingdom and even crashed into the Elf King's palace.

De Kem was furious.

Just as he was about to make his move, a forest elf suddenly burst in from outside.

"My lord! Something terrible has happened! A huge black bear has broken in—"

The elf was speaking when he saw the Rune Bear confronting Decheim.

His mouth was agape in an "O" shape.

Veins bulged on Decham's face as he forced out a single word through clenched teeth: "Get out."

The elf scrambled away.

DeCham turned around and stared at the bear.

"You beast, you're asking for death."

He decided not to use magic.

He wanted to beat the bear to death with his own fists.

Then he rushed up.

Then he got beaten up.

Rune Bear slammed down with its massive paw, sending Decem flying. Decem crashed into a stone pillar, breaking it, and fell to the ground. Before he could even get up, Rune Bear was already charging towards him.

Ora Ora Ora Ora —

The enormous bear paws rained down like raindrops, each strike carrying a ferocious force. The palace floor was smashed, stone pillars were broken, and the entire palace trembled.

Deckham was beaten so badly he couldn't fight back.

He didn't have time to use his magic, his summoning spells, or his various trump cards, because his opponent gave him no chance to breathe; it was just pure, frantic, and continuous physical attacks.

Ora Ora Ora Ora —

Deckham could only cover his head with his hands as he took the beating.

Fortunately, he has enough health.

After all, he is a descendant of the Eight Greed Kings, so his level is what it is. Although his strength and speed are not as good as Rune Bear's, his ability to withstand beatings is absolutely top-notch.

Rune Bear fought for a long time, but only managed to beat him until his face was bruised and swollen, and his body was covered in bruises; he was not truly fatal.

Finally, Decham seized an opportunity and cast the spell.

[Summoning - Behemoth, the Earth Elemental Spirit!]

A massive earth elemental monster appeared out of thin air behind him.

It was a giant made of rock and mud, exuding a heavy earth elemental aura. It stood behind Deckham, like his stand-in.

Decem finally smiled.

"Kill it," he said.

Behemoth moved.

The enormous rock fist, carrying immense force, slammed towards Rune Bear.

Rune Bear was not to be outdone and swung his palm to meet the attack.

Behemoth's fists rained down like a storm, each blow enough to shatter the earth.

Ora Ora Ora Ora —

Rune Bear retaliated fiercely, but its huge paws had no effect on Behemoth, not even knocking off a speck of stone.

The level difference is too great.

Rune Bear is level 40, Behemoth is level 87.

With a difference of nearly fifty levels, the outcome of this battle was never in doubt from the start.

After a round of exchanges, Rune Bear was blasted away by a single punch.

Its enormous body crashed through the palace walls, flew into the sky, and then plummeted from the heavens, disappearing into the distant forest.

Unsure of whether he is alive or dead.

Dekam stood there, panting heavily.

He was covered in injuries, his face swollen like a pig's head, but he had a smile on his lips.

"Trying to fight me?" He spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva. "You're courting death."

He turned to look at the large hole that had been smashed through the palace, and remembering Nana who had just escaped, his face darkened again.

One mother animal ran away, and a bear came along.

This deal was a loss.
