Not-So an Extra-Chapter 141 : The Reward [6]

The middle-aged man with white hair sat in the meeting room, his wedding attire slightly disheveled.

Frustration etched deep lines on his forehead, and his face displayed clear signs of exasperation.

Just moments ago, he had exchanged wedding vows with his bride, Charlotte, but the moment of the unity of the two kingdoms was abruptly interrupted by chaos.

The wedding venue had come to a sudden halt as an emergency meeting was called to address the unfolding problems.

It all began with a ferocious Chimera wreaking havoc on the town of Agatha.

As if that wasn't enough, it was revealed that the Knights were spies and they began hunting down innocent citizens.

To make matters worse, the Tower was under attack, and an A-rank monster made an unexpected appearance.

All of these calamities had already given Arthur a pounding headache, but nothing could have prepared him for what happened next.

Two young men, engaged in a fierce battle with the Behemoth, caught his attention.

The sight of their bravery would have been admirable if they were anyone else, but to Arthur's dismay, they were none other than his own sons.

For Chrono's sake! They were just kids!

Reacting instinctively, Arthur slammed his hand on the table before him, his voice filled with a mix of anger and concern.

"How in the world did my sons end up out there, fighting that creature?!"

Arthur couldn't understand why his sons seemed to love giving him a headache?!

Eventually, Arthur's patience wore thin, and he bellowed.

"Asher! Bring those two little imps to me!"

A man with light green hair, named Asher, who had been standing nearby, swiftly moved forward to respond to Arthur's command.

"Yes, Sire!"

He acknowledged with a respectful nod.

Determined to fulfill his duty, Asher promptly exited the meeting hall.

—Splat! —Splat! —Splat!

The air was filled with the sickening sound of splattering green blood as an old man, with a slender figure and lightning-fast movements, darted around the Behemoth's feet.

His glowing dagger sliced through the monster's thick skin, leaving a trail of blood in its wake.

With remarkable agility, he leaped and danced, attacking the creature's legs relentlessly, while the two princes engaged the Behemoth from above.

—Boom!

A thunderous explosion reverberated through the air, followed by a monstrous wail.

"Roooarrrr!!" 𝘣𝘦𝑑𝑛𝘰𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝘰𝘳𝑔

In a split second, Fredinand hopped away, narrowly escaping being stomped to death.

As soon as the Behemoth regained its footing, Ferdinand immediately charged back into the fray, scaling the Behemoth's towering legs with his relentless strikes.

"Roooarrrr!!"

The Behemoth unleashed a thunderous roar with blood streaming down from its eyes, blinding its vision.

The Behemoth, now regaining its balance, let out another earth-shaking roar and charged forward.

Sensing the danger, Adrian enveloped Nathaniel's body with a wind barrier the moment the monster's massive fist lunged toward him.

—Boom!

The impact of the Behemoth's punch sent Nathaniel hurtling through the air, his body spinning uncontrollably.

Reacting with lightning speed, Adrian conjured a solid wall, abruptly halting his brother's trajectory and preventing him from crashing into the ground.

As Nathaniel came to a sudden halt, Adrian dismissed the barrier and created an earth plate for his brother to land.

But the Behemoth was relentless in its pursuit.

"Roooarrrr!!"

With a thunderous roar, the creature charged toward Nathaniel once again, its massive form shaking the battlefield.

In a split second, Adrian transformed Nathaniel's foothold into a towering pillar, propelling him high into the air, far beyond the Behemoth's reach.

—Boom!

The earth tower crumbled upon impact from the monster's powerful punch.

However, the Behemoth who had expected it, lashed out its long, spikey tail toward Nathaniel.

With lightning reflexes, Adrian conjured a protective wind barrier, narrowly averting the deadly attack by a hair's breadth.

—Bang!

The tail struck the shield with a resounding bang, sending shockwaves through the air.

As Nathaniel flung towards him, Adrian swiftly created an earth plate and leaped sideways.

—Boom!

Nathaniel struck a nearby building, causing it to crumble into a cloud of dust and debris.

Just right after Adrian landed, he was forced to create a wall of earth in front of him as a lightning bolt rushed toward him.

—Boom!

The lightning collided with the earth shield, causing a deafening boom that reverberated through the surroundings.

"Tsk."

Adrian couldn't help but click his tongue in annoyance.

As expected of a monster with an A-rank, its intelligence was significantly superior to that of C-rank or B-rank monsters.

A-rank monsters had the ability to recall their fighting patterns.

By transforming the earth plate beneath him into a pillar, Adrian propelled himself into the air and swiftly unleashed a barrage of wind bullets toward the monster.

However, the creature skillfully jumped backward to evade, causing Adrian's attack to miss its mark and hit the ground instead.

—Boom! —Boom! —Boom!

Undeterred, the monster opened its mouth wide once again and unleashed a volley of lightning, compelling Adrian to swiftly create earth plates and leap to the side.

—Boom! —Boom! —Boom!

One by one the earth plate shattered and crumbled into dust under the relentless assault.

While Adrian was diligently evading the monster's relentless assault, the creature's body was suddenly struck by a torrent of crescent lights.

—Boom! —Boom! —Boom!

"Roooaarr!!"

The monster wailed in agony as the wind blades continued to slice through its left flank, leaving deep gashes in its thick hide.

The battlefield became even more chaotic as the Behemoth stumbled backward, disoriented by the unexpected attack.

Turning his cerulean eyes to the source of the attack, Nathaniel was seen standing on a plate of earth far away from him.

Adrian swiftly raised his Telesphere and dialed his brother's number.

As soon as the call connected, Adrian immediately conveyed his plan.

"I will act as a distraction while you climb the monster!"

Recognizing the disadvantage of engaging in long-distance combat, Adrian understood the importance of Nathaniel launching a physical attack on the Behemoth, just as he had done before.

This was especially crucial considering Nathaniel's activation of his Enigma ability.

Given the uncertainty of how long this ability would last, it was imperative to expedite Nathaniel's mounting of the monster.

// Got it. //

With a simple acknowledgment, their call ended, leaving the brothers to execute their respective roles.

"Rooaarrr!!"

The Behemoth let out a thunderous roar, its massive form stabilizing on its feet.

Despite the numerous wounds and bleeding, none of the attacks they had unleashed so far had dealt a significant blow to the monstrous creature.

Turning its head towards Nathaniel, the monster immediately charged at him.

Without wasting any more time, Adrian fired three earth spears to catch its attention.

However, the Behemoth abruptly changed its track, causing his attack to strike the ground below.

—Boom! —Boom! —Boom!

Clouds of dust and debris spiraled into the air, further adding to the chaotic atmosphere of the battlefield.

Shortly, the monster glanced in his direction, and as their eyes met, it rushed towards him.

This allowed Nathaniel to approach the monster from behind.

—Thud! —Thud! —Thud!

The Behemoth's thunderous footsteps reverberated through the air as it charged toward Adrian, closing the distance between them rapidly.

Sensing the imminent danger, Adrian chanted inwardly, channeling his magic to unleash a barrage of wind bullets toward the oncoming monster.

However, the Behemoth displayed a surprising level of agility, effortlessly dodging Adrian's projectiles with deft zig-zags.

Despite its colossal size, the monster moved with astonishing velocity.

As the gap between Adrian and the Behemoth diminished, the creature swung its sharp claws.

But before it could reach its target, Nathaniel struck with precision, stabbing the monster's other eye with a swift and powerful attack.

Green blood spurted from the wounded eye, causing the Behemoth to roar in agony, its deafening cry echoing through the chaos of the space.

"Roooaaarr!!"

The scene became even more chaotic as the wounded monster thrashed about, its movements becoming erratic and unpredictable.

The ground shook beneath their feet as the Behemoth unleashed its fury in response to the pain inflicted upon it.

Seizing the golden opportunity, Adrian chanted inwardly, and in a blinding flash, a colossal blue Magic Circle materialized on the ground, crackling with untamed energy.

With a surge of power, the Behemoth found itself engulfed in a swirling vortex of icy winds, freezing its movements in an instant.

The monstrous creature writhed and struggled, its massive body encased in a prison of solid ice, its furious roars echoing through the battlefield.

"Rooaaarr!!"

As the monster's movement froze, Nathaniel swiftly drew his sword and began to chant.

With each word, his sword trembled and became enveloped in a brilliant light.

Gathering all his strength, Nathaniel thrust his sword with great force into the monster's forehead.

"Rooaaarr!!"

The monster's anguished cry reverberated through the chaotic battleground.

The ice surrounding the Behemoth's body began to crack and fracture, unable to contain the sheer force behind Nathaniel's mighty strike.

—Whizz!

The earth spears sliced through the air, hurtling toward the Behemoth with a terrifying velocity.

Nathaniel swiftly retracted his sword and created a series of earth plates, in an attempt to retreat.

—Shattered!

The ice encasing the Behemoth's body exploded into a shower of jagged shards, filling the air with a blizzard of frozen chaos.

The monster, now freed from its icy prison, let out a thunderous roar, its fury reaching a crescendo.

Its enormous form thrashed violently, causing the ground to quake and tremble beneath its weight.

Yet, before it could unleash its wrath upon them, the earth spears pierced through its chest and stomach, causing a violent eruption of sickly green blood that sprayed into the air like a grotesque fountain.

"Rooaarrr!!"

The Behemoth's final wail reverberated through the space.

The monstrous creature staggered, its strength waning as it succumbed to its grievous wounds.

The ground beneath it cracked and split, as if unable to bear the weight of its defeat.

As the dust settled and the chaos subsided, Adrian and Nathaniel let out a sigh of relief.

With that, their battle came to an end.
