EP.65 Behemoth
In front of Behemoth’s corpse.
The body was close to that of a human, but the heads of octopuses, K’Challa and Knella, were standing there.
“What kind of monster is that?”

Green-skinned K’Challa stuck out her tongue as she saw the large scar on Behemoth’s neck.
To K’Challa’s admiration, the pink-skinned Knella answered.
“There is only one hero who can inflict fatal wounds on Behemoth, right?”
“It is.”
Frillite.
The strongest of the Hero, she was also famous among the demons.
Mainly for fear.
K’Challa trembled slightly.
“I heard she caught an ogre by herself last time… Uh oh, she’s not going to come back, right? Knella, when will that end?”
K’Challa looked at the crystal orb that was absorbing Behemoth’s soul and asked. Then Knella looked at him like he was pathetic.
“Being a male is scary… Think about it with common sense. The main camp was being robbed, so I went back in a hurry, is there anything I can do to come back?”
“But… AC, can’t we just hurry up? To the demons, the human world is like a poison mist. I’m out of breath.”
“How are you? You’re not even a high-ranking demon, what’s choking your breath… Huh? Hey, who’s coming over there?”
“What, what?! Isn’t it supposed to be a Frillite?!”
“No. He is a human man.”
K’Challa turned in the direction Knella was pointing. As she said, the human who walked to the two demons was a man. That meant that person wasn’t a Frillite.
“Ah, what is it? I was just surprised.”
K’Challa narrowed her smooth brow.
He changed his hands into giant octopus feet and walked towards the human.
“It’s dead.”
“Do it in moderation. You know I hate human screams. Do you know how annoyed you were because you said you had fun before?”
Behemoth’s body was guarded by three knights of the Duke of Oller. The corpse of a named monster was so valuable that it was only natural for a knight to remain and protect it.
The three knights were killed by K’Challa.
With his own poison, it melted from the skin to the intestines, making it very painful. Thanks to this, Knella was tired of hearing it hated human screams.
“Okay okay. I’ll kill him right away this time.”
K’Challa waved his hand, which became an octopus foot.
“Anyway… just don’t keep it.”
Knella grunted and looked at the orb that absorbed the soul of the Behemoth.
A tool that absorbs souls.
It has always been a great tool. To entrust these tools to them is…
‘We have finally earned his trust.’
In the meantime, taking on the difficult task, it worked. If you complete this mission safely and return home, you will be promoted…
“Aaaaaah!”
“Oh, sir! hey! You make sure don’t scream… uh…?”
Knella, who suddenly turned her head at the loud scream, was bewildered by the unexpected sight. She thought the screams were of course human.
But it wasn’t.
“Aaaaah! My arm…!”
It was K’Challa whose right arm was cut off that screamed. Blue blood dripped from the cross section of the severed arm. While K’Challa hesitated, Cloud approached him.
“Don’t come, you bastard!”
K’Challa stretched out his left arm.
The large octopus foot was divided into eight pieces to make eight octopus feet. Also, the eight octopus feet were split into eight each, making 64 octopus feet.
Each octopus foot was small and sharp as it was split and split, and a toxic substance that melts the flesh is coated on the outside.
A menacing attack that leads to fatal wounds even with just one touch.
“Oh, that’s disgusting.”
Cloud frowned and drew his sword.
Unlike the transparent sword at the time when the ogre’s tendon was cut, the current sword aura was red.
It was a sword aura that was extracted by properly adjusting it to the level of Lorian’s sword that he saw last time.
He held the sword in reverse and threw it like a baseball.
👌👌👌👌
The reddish sword pierced the cross section of the small octopus feet and pierced K’Challa’s head. K’Challa staggered, then collapsed helplessly.
Cloud drew his sword from the octopus’s head. He swung hard once to brush the blue blood off his sword, this time walking towards Knella.
Seeing K’Challa being defeated in an instant, Knella fell into a state of panic.
He think he should run away, but the crystal ball hasn’t completely absorbed the soul of Behemoth yet.
If you take the crystal ball that has not absorbed all of its soul, the wrath of him will break its branches. But if we wait for the absorption to finish, it looks like there will be a hole in his head before that.
While Knella couldn’t do this or that, Cloud reached his eyes.
Cloud reached out to Knella.
Knella stared at the hand and carefully placed the crystal ball on it.
Cloud smiled satisfied.
Fortunately, this seemed to be the case. For now, it was time for Knella to be relieved that she was alive. he asked her.
“Can you speak human language?”
“Yeah.”
“Great. What a smart octopus. So now tell me all about who you are, why you’re here, and what you’ve been up to with this crystal ball. Don’t hide anything.”
“If I tell you, will I be able to live?”
“No. You will die.”
“…Then do I have any reason to tell you the old-fashioned thing?”
“If you don’t want to say it, you don’t have to. Instead, you will have a mysterious experience of seeing your own internal organs.”
Cloud’s smile widened.
Knella’s octopus eyes fluttered wildly.
* * *
He looked at the corpses of the two demons with new eyes.
‘I didn’t know they were the servants of the Four Heavenly Kings.’
Not wanting to see her organs alive, Knella revealed everything she knew.
Surprisingly, these were the Demons following the Four Heavenly Kings, Creas.
Four Heavenly Kings Creas.
He is the first four heavenly kings to appear in the game ‘Brave’s Party’ and is a demon that looks like a very large octopus.
Just because it looks like an octopus doesn’t mean it’s a real octopus. It has a lot more legs than the Kraken and no suckers. It can be seen that the appearance is somewhere between the kraken and the tentacle monster that can only be seen in Cthulhu mythology.
‘But why are Kreas’ minions stealing Behemoth’s soul?’
It’s surprising that these guys are the servants of the Four Heavenly Kings, but what’s even more surprising is their deeds.
To be precise, the track of a guy higher than these two.
The demon deliberately awakened the sleeping Behemoth.
Then, in the name of Kreas, he gave orders to K’Challa and Knella.
If Behemoth is subjugated by the warriors, the order is to put its soul into the crystal ball.
When asked where he was using the spirit of Behemoth, Knella said that he knew nothing more than this.
I tried to stab him a few times with a dagger, wondering if it was a lie, but he cried out in an unjust voice. He really didn’t seem to know.
I’ve been thinking about why the Four Heavenly Kings’ minions should collect the souls of Behemoths.
There was no need to think long.
‘What’s the reason the Four Heavenly Kings’ minions move?’
Either for the Demon King or for the Four Heavenly Kings they serves.
Considering that the big event that will take place after the Behemoth subjugation is the battle with Creas, it is probably used for the advent of the Four Heavenly Kings.
After roughly reaching that conclusion, I turned my attention to corrections. Right now, the soul of Behemoth is more important than the Four Heavenly Kings.
I broke the crystal ball.
As the crystal ball shattered, white smoke leaked out through the cracks.
It is the soul of Behemoth.
I used the glyph with my right hand on Behemoth’s soul.
Hui Ying-
White smoke from the crystal ball began to wrap around his right hand. The soul of Behemoth is being absorbed by the pattern.
‘It hurts more than last time.’
Even when he absorbed the ogre’s soul, he felt a significant burning sensation in his left upper body. I thought it would hurt that much this time too, but I guess I was wrong. The burning sensation in his right upper body was more severe than the last time.
The spirit of the Behemoth, who entered his body there, raged much more strongly than the spirit of the ogre did.
It seems that the spirit of the Sangsang is better than that of the ogre.
I marveled for a moment, then crushed Behemoth’s soul like a tin can and threw it into a corner.
After doing so, Behemoth’s soul no longer ran wild.
The pattern was successfully engraved.

He also took information from the demons and ate the soul of Behemoth.
Cloud returned to the city with supreme satisfaction.
However, the atmosphere in the city was a little strange.
As he walks down the street, isn’t it that all the citizens, soldiers, and guards around him are looking at him?
‘Ah, facial expression management.’
Cloud realized later that the corners of his lips had risen slightly. They lost a lot in a single day, so how could it feel good to see a human being called a hero being torn apart?
How dare you make such a stupid mistake.
It was time for Cloud to reflect.
“Hey, Hero…”
A guard with a cast on his arm came forward from among the crowd watching Cloud, both he and me.
“My name is Hans. It’s rude for a guy like me to talk to the hero, but…”
Cloud clapped his hands while he was cramping and unable to speak.
“Someone said it was a comrade who fought together. I was really impressed with how you fought bravely with one arm despite being wounded. Did you say Hans? I wanted to know the name, but it was a pity that I didn’t have the opportunity, but I’m glad I got to know it. Cloud.”
“Do you remember me?”
Hans asked, widening his eyes.
Cloud nodded as if it was natural to him.
“I cannot easily forget a warrior who fought so valiantly.”
It was a sincere statement, not a pretentious one.
Cloud rarely forgets the face of the warrior who fought alongside him.
No, he try not to forget.
Because that was all he could do for the warriors who risked their lives and fought valiantly.
Cloud sometimes felt skeptical about that fact.
“Hahaha…!!”
However, Hans felt differently.
The hero remembers himself as a mere guard. He even admitted that he fought valiantly. As a warrior, there is nothing more honorable and glorious than this!
A shiver ran down Hans’ back.
Thanks to this, he forgot his original purpose of thanking him for saving the city.
“I, there. Hero. Do you remember me?”
A new person popped out of the crowd.
This time, it’s a soldier, not a guard.
And Cloud remembered that soldier too.
“Of course I remember. Wasn’t you the one who followed me in the fight against the pack of wolves? I still remember vividly the sight of a horned wolf stabbing a sword in the back of the head. What is your name?”
“It’s James!”
“Okay. It was an honor to fight alongside a valiant warrior like you, James.”
“I, I am honored! I will never forget this moment for the rest of my life!”
James grabbed Cloud’s outstretched hand with both hands and waved it up and down. It was too much for a handshake, but that was proof that he was so excited.
“Hero, do you remember me? We were together in District 2.”
“I was with you in District 3!”
“Yamma, don’t cut it! I asked first!”
Starting with James, other soldiers and guards raised their hands one by one and approached Cloud.
“Thanks to the hero, me and my son were able to save our lives. How should I repay this favor? This is small, but it is my sincerity.”
“Thanks to you, I survived, warrior! I don’t have anything special to give, would you like to eat an apple?”
Not long after the soldiers began to surround Cloud, ordinary citizens also began to surround him.
From poor farmers to rich merchants.
All citizens of Robertton were grateful to Cloud. They wanted to express their gratitude.
However, Cloud’s identity is a hero.
It is a status that is difficult for commoners to approach prematurely.
Noble people frowned, saying that when commoners approached, it smelled of vulgarity. Cloud also thought he might hate the smell of lowly things.
So they had nothing to do but keep a distance and stare.
But now it wasn’t.
It’s because Cloud showed them an unhesitating appearance first. Citizens expressed their gratitude to the Hero who saved them.
“Isn’t Area 2 a place where wild boars and harpies ran wild? There was a madman holding a harpy’s leg and slicing it, and that was you!”
“You were together on 3rd Avenue? Hmmm, I can’t remember the face. You fought bravely in front, right? Weren’t you tinkering from behind?”
“What are you doing to give me money? Do not put sleeves on. I don’t take it. Oh, thank you for the apology, ma’am. Oh, this is so delicious. Hey, man, where do you see this being discriminatory? What is the difference between a bribe and a favor? no because i don’t get it uh? huh?? there man! No sleeves! Hey! Catch that guy! Catch that bastard!”
And Cloud did its best to respond to the gathered citizens. Thanks to this, the square had a rather friendly atmosphere.
To the extent that they couldn’t even think of people from a city that had just been invaded by a monster.
Watching it from afar, Frilite smiled.
Lorian approached her next to her.
He gasped as he watched Cloud get along with the citizens flawlessly.
“Frilite, I want to give you one piece of advice.”
“Well? what?”
“Don’t get too close to the Cloud. Your dignity will go down.”
“…What?”
The smile disappeared from Frillite’s face.
“Lorian” Becouse of this guy’s action i started hating the name Lorian…..😑😑
