Chapter 167: Golden Giant, The Behemoth Submits

“Who is it? Who dares disturb Sacas’ beauty sleep?!” The Multi-Armed Behemoth roared furiously.

Its voice was as though the dull booming of roiling thunder, its reverberations erupting in the sky and blasting people’s ears.

“S-Sacas, my... My old friend!”

In a terrible panic, the Uni-Horned Rose Python’s voice trembled as it stammered, “I... I’m here to visit you. H-how are you?”

“Die, you lowly worm!”

The Multi-Armed Behemoth let out a ferocious roar. Then, without another word, it grabbed a gigantic ten-meters-long stalagmite and hurled it at the Uni-Horned Rose Python. It didn’t take Clara as a friend at all.

Whoosh!

The stalagmite produced whizzing sounds as it hurtled through the air. It blasted straight toward Clara like an intercontinental missile, and the might it contained enough to blast an E-100[1] apart.

“Hiss, hiss!”

The Uni-Horned Rose Python received a huge shock. It fled hastily to the side, its long tail swishing about as it did so. The gigantic stalagmite whizzed past it by a hair’s breadth, and then it just so coincidentally had to crash toward Meng Lei.

Crack!

Meng Lei formed a sword with his fingers. With a light slash, a golden ray of sword glint flashed across the air and instantly sliced the gigantic stalagmite into two.

Roar!!

The rudely awakened Multi-Armed Behemoth was currently running berserk and in a terrible rage. It strode forward with its thick, muscular thighs and charged over barbarically.

“You lowly worm! I’m going to tear you into pieces!”

The ground shook and trembled as the stone forest swayed about, while huge rocks rolled and fell off as smoke and dust billowed.

The Multi-Armed Behemoth, which was over 50-meters-tall, moved at breakneck speed. With just a few large steps, it had already crossed the several hundred-meter-long distance and charged right up to the Uni-Horned Rose Python. Then, its two-meters-long barbed claws grabbed forcefully at it.

“Hiss, hiss!”

The Uni-Horned Rose Python was scared witless.

“Clara, step back!”

Meng Lei’s voice rang out at this point.

“Yes, sir!”

His voice was no different from celestial music in the Uni-Horned Rose Python’s ears. As though it had been granted amnesty, the Uni-Horned Rose Python hastily dived behind Meng Lei, its tail swishing about in the air.

“The king of terrestrial battles? I’d like to have a taste or two of that!”

Meng Lei licked his lips. Rays of dazzling golden light shot out of him and instantly shrouded him within.

Roar!

The Multi-Armed Behemoth’s razor-sharp claws slashed down at him. With a golden flash of light, he quietly appeared at a spot 100 meters away. At the same time, the Metal Elements within a few kilometers started to converge madly toward him.

As the golden light turned brighter and brighter, the ball of light also became bigger and bigger.

10 meters, 50 meters, 100 meters...

The golden ball of light emitted an infinite light. It was as though the sun hanging in the sky, brilliant as it shone upon the land.

Boom!

An arm radiating a dazzling golden shine reached out from the golden light. It was golden-yellow in color throughout and looked just as though it were crafted from gold. The golden veins on the arm bulged fiercely on the surface, and the muscles on it were solidly intertwined. It brimmed with explosive strength.

Then, it was followed by the second arm... The third... The fourth...

In the short span of a breath, the form of a 50-meters-tall golden giant with three heads and six arms and radiating a dazzling golden shine all over was revealed in the golden ball of light. Then, it landed on the ground with a loud crash.

Boom!

An incredibly sharp and raging aura erupted from the golden giant and spread outward, sweeping toward every direction. Several rays of golden light burst forth from it, instantly jabbing so many holes into the surrounding stalagmites and turning them into swiss cheese.

Roar!

The Multi-Armed Behemoth let out an earth-shattering roar as it sprinted madly toward the golden giant. It was evident from those ferocious blood-red eyes that it intended to rip the golden giant into shreds.

“Good job making it here!” Meng Lei said as he laughed into the heavens. Then, he controlled the golden giant and dashed over, too.

Boom, boom, boom!

When two enormous creatures as tall as buildings more than a dozen floors high ran at high speed, just how huge and earthshaking of a commotion would it cause?

The ground shook and trembled violently as if an earthquake had broken out. Large expanses of stalagmites fell off as the earth shook and mountains swayed.

Boom!

In the next moment, the Multi-Armed Behemoth and the golden giant collided hard with each other, producing a shockingly loud metallic clash.

Crack!

The Multi-Armed Behemoth’s claws slashed a few deep fissures into the golden giant while the golden giant’s six fists landed on the Multi-Armed Behemoth at the same time.

Thud, thud, thud!

The two massive creatures retreated at the same time, pressing a few wide and deep enormous footprints into the ground as they did so. They even broke a few stalagmites along the way.

Their very first clash had concluded with a draw.

Roar!

The Multi-Armed Behemoth, whose savagery had been triggered, charged over once more.

Boom, boom, boom!

Boom, boom, boom!

Boom, boom, boom!

The basin was completely destroyed. Everywhere that the two giants passed by, all the solid stalagmites around them were as if they were made out of tofu, breaking with just a touch and being crushed with just a brush.

A good half of the stalagmites in the basin were already broken and in disorder in less than five minutes. The place looked as if a Category 12 typhoon had swept through it.

“Is he even human?”

As the one and only witness to the grappling match, the Uni-Horned Rose Python had long since been left flabbergasted and dumbstruck. It was astounded by the ferocity of the battle and even more so by Meng Lei’s choice of action.

It knew very well just how strong the Multi-Armed Behemoth was. On this continent lived hundreds, almost up to 1,000, of Saint Domain Magical Beasts, but those that really dared to get into a wrestling match with the Multi-Armed Behemoth didn’t even make up a handful.

That guy was the king of terrestrial battles and possessed Herculean strength. Wasn’t getting into a wrestling match with it tantamount to committing suicide? Were they tired of living?

Yet that was exactly what Meng Lei had done. To transform into a golden giant and fight the Multi-Armed Behemoth head-on, just how stubborn must he be?

However, the final outcome of the wrestling match was something completely outside of the Uni-Horned Rose Python’s expectations—Meng Lei had won!

The Multi-Armed Behemoth... had collapsed!

Its body, which sported multiple wounds, was trembling lightly. It panted heavily and took large gulps of air, actually unable to even lift a finger.

On the other hand, the golden giant stood steadily where it was, the many cuts on its body healing rapidly. A few breaths later, it was restored to its original condition and looked as brand new as ever.

After a comparison of the two, the outcome was clear.

Whoosh!

A sharp sword appeared in the golden giant’s hand. As it held the sword against the Multi-Armed Behemoth’s throat, it said in a deep, rumbling voice, “Sacas, I’ve taken an interest in you! You have two choices now!

“The first is to have your head cut off by me and die by my sword! The second is to become my dog and pledge allegiance to me!”

The one currently speaking was naturally Meng Lei. He had initially planned to kill the Multi-Armed Behemoth, but after the fierce battle, Meng Lei now had a deep understanding of just how powerful and fearsome the Multi-Armed Behemoth was.

Ferocious and raging!

Immensely strong!

Massive combat strength!

To sum it up—violence! Incredible violence!

If he hadn’t been the one it was fighting, there was no way it would have lost. After all, the real reason for its collapse was exhaustion.

That’s right, utter exhaustion! If it weren’t because it had reached a point of utter exhaustion, in the end, it could definitely continue to fight on!

What? Its injuries?

They were just superficial wounds that didn’t get in the way at all!

It was a pity to kill a savage beast like that. Since that was the case, why not take it in instead and turn it into his second fighter?

“I’ll give you ten seconds to consider the offer!” Meng Lei’s voice was loud and sonorous as he said, “I want an answer in ten seconds!”

Roar!

The Multi-Armed Behemoth sank into a painful struggle. Its pride didn’t allow it to submit to others—it was a proud and arrogant Behemoth! A powerful Multi-Armed Behemoth!

How could it submit to others?

Yet, it was being presented with harsh reality.

If it didn’t submit... Then it would die!

“Submit?”

“Don’t submit?”

“Submit?”

“Don’t submit?”

“...”

“Time’s up!”

Meng Lei’s voice rang out once again. He asked, “So? What’s your decision?”

“I... I’ll submit!”

The Multi-Armed Behemoth ultimately lowered its noble and elegant head.

“That’s a wise decision you’ve made!”
