Chapter 522 521: Demon King Behemoth.
"That\'s your father? That gigantic leg as big as a mountain belongs to your father?" Sven asked with a shocked expression.
Aurea didn\'t say anything since her eyes were focused on it with a huge grin on her face. She then spread her wings and grew them wider and bigger. She flew toward it at full speed while everyone ate her dust and watched her fly beyond the clouds and disappear.
"Father, can I join?" Elena asked as she wiggled Mykel\'s left hand.
"But you promised that you\'re here to watch. Are you going to break your promise?" Mykel asked with his eyebrows raised and looked Elena in the eye.
Elena used her pitiful expression and frowned at Mykel, hoping that he would let her go. Knowing that Mykel always gave her what she wanted, she believed that he would change his mind.
"No. You promised me that you\'ll stay put, so I\'m not going to change my mind," Mykel stroked Elena\'s head. "Next time, if you\'re uncertain that you will break your own words, don\'t make a promise. I don\'t like people who break their promises," Mykel said and looked at her with a serious expression.
Elena hummed with understanding as she sulked and held Mykel\'s hand.
A huge roar that shook the ground wildly made everyone lose their balance and fall down again. The ground turned into a trampoline that went up and down really fast that their bodies started to bounce up and down.
"What the fuck is this?! Isn\'t Behemoth the strongest one compared to the other Demon Kings if he can do something like this?!" Rozan asked as he let everyone float above the ground with his wind magic.
"This can\'t even be compared to what I experienced back then. I\'m telling you that we are going to day if we stay down here. We should go up because that\'s the only safe place. You don\'t want to be sandwiched by the ground," Lillith said and she seemed restless about it.
Rozan nodded with understanding and sent everyone flying up high into the sky above the clouds with Jeanne, Mykel, and Elena following them from behind. They then finally saw the body of Behemoth with the giant face on the chest with its glowing red eyes and long messy teeth like orcs.
They were petrified by it, but then they heard a loud banging sound beyond the horizon. The shockwave was so strong that the clouds started to disperse and break the sound barrier.
Aurea punched Behemoth in the face so hard that it knocked him down. She used everything without hesitation and activated her [Brute], [Harmony], and [Wrath] skills. She lost her senses because of the [Wrath] skill that she hadn\'t gotten used to.
She ripped and tore Behemoth\'s skin and flesh with her sword as she flew around his neck and tried to decapitate him. Since his neck was too wide, she couldn\'t cut it all the way because he regenerated the cut before she could make a full circle.
"Your giant body is useless now. It\'s better if you shrink yourself or I will tear your body apart from the inside," Aurea\'s eyes were glowing red with saliva dripping off her chin.
Behemoth didn\'t listen to her and tried to get rid of her with his giant hands. His movement was too slow that Aurea could wait a whole minute before his hands could reach her.
"Because of you, all the Demon Kings look down on you and made all my sisters make fun of me," Aurea said as she flew right into Behemoth\'s chest and dodged his giant hands that had their own gravitational pull. "I\'m your daughter, I know exactly where your weak spots are," Aurea grinned as she stared at the face on Behemoth\'s chest.
Aurea punched right on the forehead and crushed the whole face on Behemoth\'s chest. She then used the sword and pierced through his left eye to enter his body. No matter how sturdy and impenetrable his skin and flesh were, the eyes were as squishy as a stress ball.
Behemoth screamed as he hit himself in the chest with both hands. Every hit created a massive shockwave that was powerful enough like a hundred tons of TNT. Mykel created a wind barrier and protected everyone from the impact, but the loud banging noise ruptured their eardrums.
Behemoth ripped the face off his chest and stabbed himself to find Aurea. It was already too late for him because if he shrunk his body, Aurea would kill her the moment she found his heart.
"How stupid are you to realize it now, old man? The bigger you are, the easier for me to kill you," Aurea asked as she heard loud thumpings behind her as she flew to where his heart was.
Aurea found Behemoth\'s giant heart and didn\'t hesitate to cut it into tiny pieces. She was covered in black blood, but then she realized a hand was trying to reach her. She managed to fly away before gravity pulled her into his hand.
"Crazy bastard..." Aurea said as she flew away and looked at the giant hand. "That\'s one, there\'s eight more to go," Aurea pointed out as she looked around for the other hearts.
"Wait, don\'t you think he\'s shrinking?" Sven asked.
"I can\'t tell, this guy is too big," Vincze answered.
"He\'s shrinking. His power came from the amount of hearts he has. There are nine hearts inside his body. Four inside his torso, two inside his thighs, two inside his knees, and the last one inside the back of his neck. Aurea just destroyed one, and he lost ten percent of his power," Mykel explained.
"That sounds hard and easy at the same time," Gunnar pointed out.
"It\'s not easy because he can regenerate all of his hearts if you took too long to destroy them. You only have an hour to destroy all of them," Mykel answered. "But, since there are nine of you, it should be easy. Of course, he won\'t just stay put and let his hearts get destroyed. He has a few tricks under his sleeves," Mykel continued.
Aurea destroyed the remaining three hearts in Behemoth\'s torso. She then went right to his left thigh and broke his bones and spine for fun. She suddenly heard a rumbling sound from above.
"You\'re trying to turn yourself into a diamond? Let\'s see who\'s faster, your transformation or my speed," Aurea smiled and went full speed.
She destroyed the two hearts inside Behemoth\'s left leg, and then she cut open his left knee so she could move to his right knee immediately. She managed to cut open the right knee before his body turned into a solid diamond.
She destroyed the heart inside his right knee, but when she went up to his thigh, the heart had been turned into a diamond.
"Did you think I won\'t be able to cut it open?" Aurea smirked and cut the diamond heart in half like paper.
They watched Behemoth\'s body become smaller and smaller that he became as big as a skyscraper. Rozan had to go lower since Behemoth was no longer as tall as the exosphere.
"There\'s one heart left," Aurea said as she flew out from Behemoth\'s chest. She looked at Behemoth\'s face who was furious at how helpless he was to stop her from killing him. "I love that face so much," Aurea grinned as she pulled her sword back. "Die, you old bastard!" Aurea swung her sword and created a projectile attack.
The projectile attack was pointed at Behemoth\'s neck. Everyone was watching from the distance and realized Behemoth\'s head was slowly tilting to the side. Blood started to come out of his neck and flooded his giant body. Aurea just decapitated him and cut the last heart in half.

"Goodbye, old fart," Aurea said as she watched as the city was flooded by Behemoth\'s blood.
