Chapter 389 - Loot from an Elite Behemoth!

Destructive portals surrounded it on all sides, terrible winged beings nearing its size let out mystical attacks that left a unique energy that caused the decay of the essence protecting its body, and the tireless and fearless Abyssal Undead that continued to be brought to life the moment another one died.

It was an extremely tiring and helpless battle for one to go through, especially so for someone as powerful as a being nearing the full title of an Elite Behemoth, just needing a few more years to advance before fully stepping into the Domain Expansion Realm!

Alas, fate would not have it so as the Draconic Fire Behemoth could feel its origin trembling, knowing it had overused all of its immense mana as its prideful aura of a ruling race shook when looking at the being that apparently beat it in terms of mana capacity.

"Truly a monster."

The Dragon shook its head in exhaustion as a brilliant light began to burn from it, the fearsome being actually choosing to burn its own soul and face death by its own accord!

Noah observed this change as he sent numerous commands to his summoned forces, his own body that continued to release immense heat waves from the effect of completed Incandescent Flameborn Set nearing the burning body of the Draconic Fire Behemoth.

The bright heat the beast released seemed like hot blasts of wind towards the clone protected by the shimmering item set, its body fearlessly coming close to the Draconic Fire Behemoth as yet another ability of the Seven Deadly Sins was cast!

This time, it was coming from the Sin of Gluttony, it was the ability that allowed his to absorb entities and working in conjunction with another skill, it also allowed him to look at the entity’s entire life history and abilities, allowing him to choose two skills in addition to the ones he normally received as loot. The first skill was [Devouring], the latter was [Large Stomach]!

[Devouring]!

WAA!

A dark cloud released from the clone as it went on to cover the enormous head of the blazing Behemoth, the dark cloud expanding rapidly as it went on to cover the entirety of the humungous body as a large amount of essence began to senselessly leak out from the clone and into the ability.

What he was doing now was casting the [Devouring] ability on a live being, and it was an Elite Behemoth at that! It wasn’t a hunt of dead meat that could swiftly be taken, but a being that had their body blazing in flames as it tried to nobly take its own life!

The gluttonous quality of the skills fully wrapped around the body of the drained and heavily injured beast, its unique energies going on to stop the self destruction as the dark cloud that had wrapped around the large Celestial Beast began to reduce in size gradually.

From the more than fifty meters, it became thirty, then ten, five, until finally, the darkness surrounding the Draconic Fire Behemoth disappeared completely, taking along with it a monstrous beast that was already getting dissected and analyzing in the [Large Stomach]! From the position where the huge beast used to be, a brilliant golden light shone as a few skill books, cores, and a shining round item also floated in the skies as the clone waved his hand and quickly placed them in the [Expansive Space].

The enormous body of this beast, its materials, everything that it had...all of it was devoured as Noah favored the knowledge of this particular beast more than anything else at this moment.

As he breathed heavily at the finished battle that had taken hours and too much mental stress, he deactivated [Ancient Blood Scion] and [Lesser Cthulhu], as well as the wide area buffing skills like [Descent of the Blood Lord] as the only thing he left behind was the [Blood World] that kept everything occurring in this underground space a secret.

He turned his eyes towards the three summoned Ancients that had been the major cause of this battle going smoothly, finding that their blank white eyes were turned towards him as they seemed to be scanning him up and down, nodding their heads as a scratch nonunderstable voice was released in his mind again.

[-----]

The forefront Ancient seemed to be speaking as no communication came across, nodding his head towards the clone in affirmation thereafter as these summoned beings actually began to disappear into particles in front of the clone’s eyes, somehow having the power to desummon themselves as they wished!

Noah looked at this as he mentally shook his mind in frustration, one of the messages he was sending towards the summoned Ancients seeming to go through as the mystery surrounding them increased. He put this aside for now as he began looking at the boon from the defeat of a Dragon of immense stature.

Between Noah’s real body and his clone, he was currently giving over half of his mental processes over to the clone as it speedily began going through the memories of the fearsome Draconic Fire Behemoth, as well as the loot that had erupted from it.

Of the Skill Books that came out, two were at the Soul Rank, and one was at the Soul+ Rank, with no such luck in easily gaining a skill of the Domain Rank!

The other was an abundant amount of cores that in addition to the few that Noah already had from the massacre in the Magus World as well as the divided Origins from the Fire Behemoths that the Righteous Fire Exploration Team continued to defeat, he would have more than enough to propel himself from the Void Rank and into the Soul Rank, all the while having more than enough cores for the refinement of items.

As a large number of memories of the Draconic Fire Behemoth continued to be sorted, the clone took out the other loot that had erupted out in an aurora of light when the beast was defeated. This particular one was something unique that Noah had not come across from defeating an opponent before, finding himself quizzically looking over the scintillating red gold ovular item that was nearly as tall as he was.

His confusion was cleared up soon after as a resplendent set of blue words appeared in front of his eyes, the description of the item becoming clear as he gained something new for the first time ever with the defeat of an opponent.

[Origin Core- Behemoth Zygote] :: An incubating Origin that will eventually give rise to a pet that the user can bind to themselves. Caution is required as the position of pet and master can change if there is a large gap in Origin strength. Incubating time varies depending on location and amount of essence available.
