Global Demon King: Starting as the Abyssal Dragon

Chapter 328: Primeval Behemoth Form

Outside Behemoth City, Han Kexin and the others were trapped in a valley. Over ten thousand high-ranking orc wyvern mages and a thousand top-tier Hero mages from the six Hero groups had combined their powers to seal the entire valley with barrier-type magic. In this situation, spatial items or spells could not be used, significantly increasing the difficulty of breaking out.

Han Kexin, having fused with the Undying Phoenix, was enveloped in blazing flames, greatly enhancing both her magical and close combat abilities. Despite this, several attempts to break out were thwarted by the concentrated attacks and spells.

However, these high-ranking mages and Heroes were not the main force of the encirclement. The primary force consisted of a large number of behemoths, flooding into the valley and forming a surrounding force. Mobilizing such a large number of behemoths was a formidable task for any faction.

Even for Han Kexin and her companions, each possessing mythic-class combat power, facing such a massive force of high-ranking units and the continuous influx of reinforcements posed a significant challenge. There was a real possibility of being trapped.

"Apocalypse Fire Rain!"

Han Kexin unleashed her immense power. Under her powerful magic, the very sky seemed to change, as large swathes of fiery red clouds were summoned from the void, covering the entire valley sky. It was as if an endless sea of fire was rolling and surging overhead.

Next, thousands upon thousands of meteor fireballs were created from the fiery clouds, falling towards the Behemoth City's numerous forces. Han Kexin focused her attacks on the gathered behemoth giants, as their massive size and limited mobility made them perfect targets.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Hundreds of behemoth giants were enveloped by this immensely powerful spell. A formidable fire meteor struck one of the more ordinary behemoth giants. The giant roared furiously, its entire body covered in blood-red, violent aura, and it tore through the truck-sized meteor apart with a single swipe.

Although the behemoth's ferocious attack shattered the meteor, the fiery magical energy contained within it could not be easily dispelled. The energy instantly engulfed its dozens of meters tall body, burning it fiercely. However, a layer of red aura enveloped the behemoth's body. With this aura as a protective barrier, the fire's damage was insufficient to kill it.

Seeing this, Han Kexin frowned slightly, "These guys are really tough!"

The behemoths, one of the most formidable and ferocious ancient superior races in this world, second only to true dragons and titans, might not possess strong magical talents but boasted a physique comparable to, if not surpassing, dragons and titans.

Not only did the behemoths have incredibly formidable defenses, but these particular behemoths, under the leadership of their Behemoth Kings, had activated a skill that linked the aura and Qi of all their companions. It was somewhat similar to the Blood Ritual skill of the draconian priests. With this skill, the behemoths formed a unified combat entity, able to distribute a portion of the damage from attacks across the entire group.

In such a situation, even a powerhouse like Han Kexin, when using wide-area attack spells, could not instantly kill these gigantic creatures. While she could take down a few, causing large-scale casualties and quickly breaking their combat strength was impossible.

"Surround them! Don't let them escape! They have nowhere to run!"

One of the Behemoth Kings roared, not only amplifying the other behemoths but also causing mental harm to their enemies.

-500!

Han Kexin felt a slight pain in her head, leading to a brief moment of dizziness. However, Nancilia quickly used a dispel spell to remove the abnormal state from her.

Blizzard Empress Ophelia drew an epic-grade icy broadsword and swung it directly at the behemoth emitting the psychic attacks. The immense sword energy seemed to cleave the earth itself, ultimately hitting the target.

The behemoth used its claws to block the sword energy, being pushed back several dozen yards. With a roar, it managed to shatter and disperse the sword energy at the cost of breaking its claws.

This Behemoth King, a Level 6 monarch unit, had withstood an attack from a Level 6 mythic unit. This showcased the racial advantage of the behemoths; their formidable physique was beyond human imagination. Of course, during this exchange, the Behemoth King did sustain some injuries, but it was quickly healed by the high-ranking orc priests nearby.

The area was swarming with behemoths. Even the most ordinary ones possessed the strength of a Level 4 overlord, while the slightly stronger ones boasted the power of a Level 5 overlord. In terms of high-end combat power at Level 5, they were on par with the Darkness City's Abyssal Dragon Legion and the Thunder Empire's Guardian Knights.

Moreover, compared to the Guardian Knights, behemoths at Level 5 or above, even if not yet reached monarch-class, could easily surpass humans in both offense and defense due to their superior physical constitution.

"Their numbers are overwhelming! Even for us, we don't have enough strength to hold out here indefinitely!" Zhang San and Li Si were currently holding the front line, while the others were considering strategies for breaking through.

Shui Lan suggested, "We should concentrate our efforts and first eliminate the six Behemoth Kings. Without their leadership, the other behemoths will lose their formations."

This proposal seemed worth trying. The reason the behemoths could share their aura and battle Qi came from the six Behemoth Kings, who used commander-type skills to significantly enhance the behemoths' survival and combat abilities. By directly taking down the Behemoth Kings, they could disrupt this skill, making it easier to deal with the other behemoths using large-scale spells.

Han Kexin agreed, "The Behemoth Kings have extremely high defenses. With the support of their commander skills, even my attacks can't take them down in one go."

Hearing this, Nancilia, Ophelia, and Shui Lan all frowned. Han Kexin's magical prowess was among the best of them. If even her attacks were ineffective, the others would likely face similar difficulties.

As for physical attacks? What a joke! Behemoths were different from true dragons, who had high magic resistance. Behemoths were the opposite, with extremely formidable physical resistance. Even though Zhang San and Li Si had advanced to mythic-class units, relying on physical or Qi attacks to kill a Behemoth King would be extremely challenging.

"We have no other choice! Time is running out! We can only give it our all!"

Before Han Kexin could finish speaking, the space in front of her twisted, and a majestic, towering figure emerged.

"Your Majesty!"

Everyone was astonished to see Zhang Nu. Han Kexin and the others hadn't expected Zhang Nu to appear so quickly and unharmed, indicating the outcome of his battle with Amit.

The members of the Savage Beast Empire were all in shock and disbelief. Had the Great Primeval Behemoth Amit really lost? Impossible! It couldn't be! Moreover, how had Zhang Nu arrived here? The area was under a spatial lock! No spatial magic, tools, or equipment should work. Why, then, was he able to teleport here without any issues?

Zhang Nu took a quick glance around, understanding the situation. He nodded and said, "Leave this to me."

The leader of one of the Heroes' groups angrily demanded, "Damn it, who are you, and where is our boss?"

Zhang Nu didn't hold back. "Fair question. I am Zhang Nu. As for your leader..."

He dropped his usually low-key demeanor and revealed his identity directly. This caused a huge stir among the present Heroes, who were shocked and incredulous.

Zhang Nu?

The top-ranked Demon King on the leaderboard! The one recognized by the game as the most powerful Demon King. If it was him, then Amit was indeed likely to have met a grim fate.

"Don't listen to his lies!"

"There's no way our boss could lose!"

"Get him! Trap him here! Once the boss arrives, they'll have no escape!"

The Heroes tried to muster their courage. However, the retreating expressions on most of their faces showed that their bravado was merely a facade.

"Behemoth Form!"

Zhang Nu activated his newly acquired ability. His draconian form suddenly expanded, growing over a hundred times larger, transforming into a dark-gold-furred behemoth.

In this behemoth form, Zhang Nu's size rivaled that of his dragon form, appearing even more muscular. Each dark-gold strand of fur was comparable to multi-meter-long metal spears. An incredibly fierce and violent aura emanated from him, unlike any mere transformation skill. When Zhang Nu took on this form, he also replicated all of the behemoth's innate abilities, proving it was far more than just a cosmetic change. Upon seeing his transformation, both the native behemoths and the Heroes' faction players were plunged into unprecedented shock.

Zhang Nu activated the Evil God Eyes, with the massive eyeball forming a seven-leaf shape. The black pupil, representing the power of destruction, released immense energy and aura. This aura was channeled into his claws.

Behemoths were renowned for their unparalleled close combat prowess. Now, combined with the immense destructive power of the Evil God, Zhang Nu's claw swipe across the air instantly struck a Behemoth King.

Despite the Behemoth King's special skill that dispersed damage, it was still torn to shreds without any suspense. Under the black energy, its massive body disintegrated into powder. Even more terrifying was the spread of this tremendous damage. The shared damage instantly transmitted to hundreds of other behemoth giants, leaving black claw marks on them almost simultaneously.

In the next moment, amidst agonizing screams, hundreds of behemoth giants were reduced to ashes. Zhang Nu hadn't activated any additional skills; it was just an ordinary claw swipe that annihilated hundreds of behemoth giants.

Witnessing this scene, the shock felt by everyone present was beyond words!"
