Chapter 24: Lynx Vs Behemoth

"System how many points do I have in total... you know what don’t tell me. I’ll take this monster down using my current strenght". Lynx charged at him.

[Be careful Lynx, this monster is strong] he heard the system voice, but he didn’t care. They charged at each other.

The ground cracked under their weight. The Behemoth was a mountain given legs, stone skin cracked with glowing veins, eyes like magma.

It moved faster than something that big should. Its fist came down like a falling building. Lynx ducked, the impact sent a shockwave that blew dust into the pitch black zone. Rocks shattered. The air felt heavy.

Behemoth slammed both palms into the earth. Spikes erupted, thick as trees, sharp as blades. They chased Lynx’s feet. He leapt, spun, sword flashing. One spike grazed his calf, opened it deep. Blood ran hot. Then his Primordial healing kicked in. His skin knitted, muscle pulled back together, he didn’t feel any pain. He didn’t slow down.

"You annoying," the Behemoth rumbled, voice shaking stone. It ripped a boulder from the ground, a slab bigger than Lynx’s whole body, and threw it.

Lynx met it with sword energy, a white hot arc that split the rock in half. The halves crashed left and right, dust blinded everything.

Lynx teleported. One moment he was there, next he was behind the Behemoth. Blade ignited, fire licking up the steel. He drove it into the back of the beast’s knee.

Fire poured in it, melted the beast stone body, the Behemoth staggered. It roared and swung an elbow made of cliff. The hit connected. Lynx felt his ribs break, felt his spine compress. He flew, slammed hard into a wall of rock, the wall collapsed on him.

He didn’t die. More like he couldn’t die.

Stone and rubble slid off his chest as he pushed up. Cuts closed, broken bone realigned, blood stopped pouring.

The Behemoth watched, eyes narrowing. "You should be dead," it growled. Lynx spat blood, grinned. "You’re a talkative for a big monster that’s about to be eaten by me."

That word made the Behemoth angrier. It stomped, and the earth responded. Pillars shot up, tried to cage Lynx. He burned them down with a wave of fire from his palm. The heat was so intense the air shimmered.

Lynx raised his swords high, and the sky answered. Drops of molten flame fell, hundreds, thousands, each one a spear. They hammered the Behemoth’s shoulders, its head, its back.

Stones burned down to ash, the monster magma veins dimmed. The monster howled and retaliated with an earth wave, a rolling wall of jagged rock that rolled across the valley.

It hit Lynx square. He was thrown, tumbling, skin peeled off in strips. He stood up anyway. Healing worked overtime, stitching, sealing, rebuilding.

The Behemoth was powerful. It beat the hell out of him. Fist to jaw, fist to gut, fist to chest. Each blow should’ve ended him, but they didn’t.

Lynx tasted his blood, which he has tasted many times now. He made his whole body fire and melted to the ground, teleporting with fire.

He appeared above the Behemoth’s head, and brought the sword down with all his weight, all his sword energy, all his rage. The blade sank deep, fire exploded outward. The Behemoth buckled.

But it wasn’t done. It grabbed Lynx with a hand of solid rock, squeezed. Bones creaked. Lynx felt his lungs compress. He couldn’t breathe. He couldn’t feel pain, not really, thanks to immunity, but he could feel the pressure. Crushing pressure.

He drove his free hand into the Behemoth’s wrist, fire consuming stone. The hand loosened. He dropped, rolled, came up slashing.

Earth chains shot from the ground, wrapped his legs, his arms, pulled him down. The Behemoth raised a foot to crush him. Lynx hit the ground with both palms. Fire consumed everything in a 20-meter ring. Everything burned down to ash. The Behemoth’s leg melted where it stood. It stumbled, roared in frustration. "Why won’t you die!"

"Because I’m not done," Lynx said, voice hoarse.

He dashed, teleported, dashed again. Fire danced around him. He used different fire powers, burst flames, concentrated beams, exploding fire balls.

He hit the ground and fire consumed the Behemoth again, this time deeper, hotter. The beast took damage. Chunks of stone fell off its body. But it still stood. It still fought. It still swung and slammed and shattered the ground.

Minutes turned to an hour. An hour felt like a day. Lynx was cut from head to his toe, his adrenaline rushing to his veins, grinning like a mad man.

The Behemoth was cracked, melted, missing pieces, but it is still swinging. The place was destroyed now. Just fire and stone and two monsters refusing to fall.

Finally, Lynx saw it. A crack in the Behemoth’s chest, right where the heart of magma pulsed. He poured everything into one strike. Sword energy, fire powers, his full strength, all of it. He teleported straight into the crack and drove the sword through.

The Behemoth froze. Fire burst from its mouth, its eyes, its cracks. It shook, trembled while the ground where he stood cracked, then it collapsed. Stone shattered. Dust filled the air. Silence fell, heavy and sudden.

Lynx stood over the corpse, chest heaving, sword dragging on the ground. Blood ran from his nose, his mouth, his eyes. He looked at the pile of rock and ash and whispered, voice raw, broken, "I told you... I will take this guy down with my current strength".

Then his knees gave out. He fell to the ground, exhausted.

And he laid still for 1 month.

-———————

Five months and 100 Days spent in the forbidden zone.

Lynx woke up.

The first thing he felt was devastating hunger. His eyes snapped open. His body was still lying on the floor, old beast and demons he killed before has all turned to ash during his fight with the behemoth.

He looked at his body and noticed his deadly injuries were gone. Primordial healing had done its work even while he slept.

He pushed himself up. Muscles ached, but they were stronger. He turned to the Behemoth’s corpse. Rock, ash, and meat. Real meat, steaming faintly even after a month.

He didn’t hesitate. He tore off a piece with his hands, brought it to his mouth, and ate. The taste was... good.

The meat hit his stomach and exploded. Energy surged through him like lightning. His stats jumped. Strength, agility, stamina.. all of it climbed higher. He ate more and more.

He ate the behemoth meat continuously for 5 days. freēwēbnovel.com

A tingling sensation stabbed into his head. Earth and Lightning techniques flooded his brain, pouring in like water. He didn’t feel pain, just his mind sharpening, stretching, and breaking open.

Ancient, rare, and new Lightning and Earth affinity moves and techniques etched themselves into his memory. He felt the Lightning affinity breaking its locked chains in his body.

Lynx wiped his mouth and stood up straighter. "System dude, how many points do I have in total. Don’t fucking tell me 1000 points"

[Total APS points: 501000]

Half a million freeking points. The number glowed in his vision. He stared at it, then let out a breath he didn’t know he was holding. "That’s fucking perfect" he said laughing.

He started walking deeper, he walked and walked, sometimes he ran, killing some beasts along the way. He didn’t encounter any beast that will put him on harm’s way.

Suddenly he stopped. There was a cage, glowing faintly. It looked sealed, and he heard a faint voice coming out from the cage due to his advance hearing. freёweɓnovel.com
