'This creature is not normal, even for a newly advanced Archmage like it, master. A Behemoth is synonymous with terror. This creature can shatter space itself with its immense power. It will be extremely difficult to fight, and the entire party may perish before we exhaust it.
As large as it is, it can extend its body parts and launch extremely fast attacks that can surprise even the girl Layla.
Because of its affinity for the earth element, it can control the battlefield to a degree that you can't counter with your earth element. Eventually, its control over lightning could destabilize your powers to the point where it could hurt you with lightning!'
Vicente listened to Trone's analysis while he looked at the creature in front of him, a being the size of a mountain, walking on all fours like a wolf, with a skin that seemed to be made of concrete.
At first glance, it seemed slow and uninterested in everything around it, but it was as smart as almost any creature in the valley. As it walked slowly, lightning struck the sharp points on its back that looked like tree trunks but were actually fully manipulable body parts.
The Behemoth had already noticed the group of weak creatures watching it from a distance. But it quickly left them aside, ignoring them, considering how weak they were.
Gulp!
"Can you see that? What the hell is that creature?" Casey exclaimed, his eyes widening at the sight of the Behemoth's enormous horns.
"A Behemoth," Layla's voice trembled with awe as she commented, while Lina's face twisted in fright as she glanced at Vicente.

Everyone turned their attention to Vicente, understanding what Lina meant by her question.
Even Torne saw the problem and tried to move his master's will in the opposite direction. 'No master, that's not a good idea!'
Vicente clenched his fists, feeling an even greater elemental affinity with this creature than with the beast he had seen moments ago.
'I still have a card up my sleeve.'
'Forget it, not even the Throne of Darkness can give you victory over this monster. The throne is powerful, but your cultivation limits it. There's an 80% chance that the entire group will die if we face this creature, master.' Torne rejected Vicente's original idea.
But Vicente decided, even with the ghost's warning. "It's time to take a real risk, fellows. With this creature's pentagram, I will most likely to advance the quality of one of my first two essences. The power that will come from it will also be very strong."
"If you survive and can kill it," Rory reminded his friend. "Do you think it's worth the risk, Vicente?"
Vicente opened his arms and gestured rationally. "We suffered against vampires weeks ago. What are we going to be like when we face a Low-level Paragon vampire?

But there's a damn Beginner Archmage in the far north." He pointed in that direction. "I didn't want to risk the group like that, but that might be the risk we have to deal with, or rather, I have to deal with."
He added. "I don't want any of you to get directly involved in the fight. Concentrate on assisting me. That alone will help me a lot and will be quite dangerous for you."
"There's no way you can change your mind?" Sarah asked with clenched fists, her worried expression clear.
"I'm sorry. I've taken a lot of precautions during my journey. But there's really no choice but to take my chances now. Otherwise, I'll have to give up on getting a cyan pentagram. This opponent may be more terrifying than others, but none of them will be any easier. So I choose to fight here and now." He positioned himself at the head of the group, while Torne and Onyx knew they couldn't change their master's mind, both of them were already preparing.
"We'll give you all the support you need," Rory said, after a long sigh.
Casey owed Vicente a lot, so he soon followed Rory, the three women lamenting the man's folly in defying death. But everyone there owed him a great debt, and more importantly, he knew he had to defeat this creature to become a hope in the fight against vampires.
The more terrifying the opponent, the better the pentagram and the subsequent powers Vicente would gain by absorbing the Behemoth's magical essence!
Seven of them flew toward the Behemoth about two kilometers ahead of them,
The giant creature noticed this group's decision almost immediately, and couldn't help but be surprised that such a weak group would show an interest in it.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})'What do these insects want?' It looked in Vicente's direction, noticing the ghost in the young man's body and Vice's strange magical essence. 'You look interesting. But that's not enough to challenge me.' The creature honestly didn't understand what his opponent meant.
'Anyway, let me see what you can do. After your performance, I'll devour your bodies.' It continued walking as if it hadn't noticed the movement of the group flying towards it.
A little over a minute later, the creature saw Vicente appear in front of it, riding a giant black crow, while the other individuals stood a few dozen meters away from it. Still, each of them displayed their pentagrams, with a brown-haired woman and a long-haired black-haired man clearly supporting Vice.
Rory's flame avatar appeared and started a controlled fire in the area, quickly covering an area of about 6 square kilometers with its flames.
Layla and Sarah positioned themselves around the group, ready to defend Casey and Lina from attacks by the creature against the two supporting Vicente. They were dressed in their armor, but also with Vicente's most advanced firearms.
This was the situation with the others, but also with four robot armors that were in the group at the moment, the four a little closer to Vicente and the Behemoth.
Vicente didn't talk to the creature or anything like that. When he appeared flying in front of the creature, he used the help of his companions along with his powers fused with Torne's.
Thousands of blades the size of Onyx appeared in the surroundings, while the stormy weather in the area intensified under Vicente's control.
A lightning giant formed near him, not hesitating to attack the creature that seemed to take none of this seriously.
