Chapter 1338: Chapter 1309: Lamentation
“Why, why did it turn out like this.”
Li Chen stood up awkwardly, his face looking extremely grim: “Is there really no way out?”
This battle was too fierce.
Many strong fighters, by now, there are only a few left. Most have died in battle, and some have been transported to the rear for urgent treatment.
But many people know that such treatment can’t make them regain their combat power immediately.
In fact, less than ten percent of those rescued were able to stand up.
And those who could recover combat power were just a scattered one or two at best.
Obviously, having one or two people return to the battlefield can’t change anything.
Sulin is dead, Patricia also died in battle. Ning Wangyang’s ring of fire was shattered in one blow by the frenzied Behemoth, and Ning Wangyang’s body was once again injured.
Li Chen looked at the Behemoth clutching its head and roaring madly, his expression seemed somewhat unusual.
Pamela’s death blow did have an effect.
The light sword pierced through the back of the Behemoth’s head, directly emerging from its eye, even shattering one of Behemoth’s eyes.
However, such an injury couldn’t kill the giant beast.
Or rather, it wasn’t enough.
Gripping Red Moon, Li Chen didn’t even look at the last few who seemed to have lost their fighting spirit, silently standing in front of the Behemoth.
Without a word, he raised his blade and advanced.
“Sss—”
The Behemoth, in pain, was suddenly pierced through the body by the Red Moon Blade, but it didn’t react much.
Its body was simply too enormous, and just now, it had been smashed in one eye.
It’s like a person being slashed at the same time as being secretly pricked with a needle.
When struck with such intense pain, would someone notice the needle prick?
But soon, the Behemoth sensed something was wrong.
Because it found that its body’s power was constantly ebbing away. Though this draining speed wasn’t fast for it, it was still continuously draining.
Enduring the intense pain to inspect, it noticed a creature resembling a bug was hanging onto its body, seemingly devouring its blood.
“Scram!!”
With a sweep of its giant claw, Li Chen’s body was effortlessly swept away.
But soon, Li Chen stood up again.
By now, the clothes on Li Chen’s upper body had turned into tattered rags, with many parts revealing the strong muscles underneath.
Likewise, on these exposed parts, numerous wounds appeared.
But strangely, these wounds were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Soon, Li Chen was behind the Behemoth again, climbing onto its body at a bizarre angle. This time, his strike was gentler; the Red Moon was truly like a needle, silently piercing into Behemoth’s body.
Unfortunately, the Behemoth quickly detected Li Chen’s presence again, and Li Chen was once more thrown away.
Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Li Chen stood up again, rushing at the Behemoth under the shocked gazes of the few remaining people, as if he were an undying monster.
“How… how does he manage it?” The remaining fighters looked at Li Chen with complex gazes as he charged at Behemoth time and again, only to be thrown away repeatedly.
“No matter what, I can’t let you reach my world. Even if I die, I won’t let you hurt my family.” Li Chen muttered nearly to himself.
He couldn’t imagine what disaster such a monster would bring to the Main World if it went there. Nor did he know if the strong fighters of the Main World could stop this monster, or if they would meet the same grim fate as those here.
But Li Chen knew that as long as he still had a chance, he absolutely couldn’t give up.
“Do you really think I can’t kill you?!”
After being harassed by Li Chen multiple times, unable to spare time for healing, the Behemoth finally became enraged.
At this moment, a large hole had appeared on its head, urgently needing healing, but due to Li Chen’s interference, it hadn’t been able to tend to the injury, which indeed angered it.
Just then, a quiet sound suddenly came from behind.
Not from behind Li Chen and others, but from behind the Behemoth, beyond the grand hall.
As if something had suddenly collapsed.
Amidst the barrier’s storm, black cracks continuously expanded, and the surrounding space turned into tiny light particles scattering on the ground.
A gigantic black light gate appeared within the barrier.
This gate was pitch black, completely obscuring the view inside, but faint sounds constantly emanated from within the black light gate.
The sound was light, impossible to hear without careful listening.
At that moment, Behemoth suddenly turned its head, revealing a look of joy in its single eye.
“Finally… it’s finally open!!”
“I’ve waited thousands of years, a thousand years!!”
“Finally, I can leave this damned place!”
Behemoth let out a huge roar of joy, which was clear to everyone present.
But as Li Chen heard Behemoth’s words, his face changed drastically.
“The gate to other worlds is open?”
“No, I absolutely can’t let it enter!”
Holding the dim Red Moon, Li Chen once again frantically charged towards the Behemoth.
“Get lost!!”
A massive claw struck, directly slapping Li Chen away. This time, Li Chen couldn’t get back up. On his chest, a huge wound appeared.
The wound tore open his chest, breaking bones, and even revealing some of his internal organs.
Even super-speed regeneration couldn’t make him stand again.
“You crawling creatures, your time is up!” Behemoth surveyed the surroundings.
“Thank you for playing with me for such a long time, and once again allowing me to experience the thrill of battle. So, I’ve decided to give you a reward.”
“This reward is called death!”
By now, Behemoth had also exhausted a lot of his power, no longer in his previous invincible stance. However, even in this state, none of those present could manage to deal with him.
A Infinite Summit level powerhouse, standing completely in another dimension, with a strength beyond what these people could imagine.
Behemoth slightly raised his head, gazing towards the rear of Li Chen and the others.
Back there, were the powerhouses injured in battle, receiving emergency healing… and many healers.
In the next moment, Behemoth’s body gradually shrank, returning to the form of a human race youth, yet the injuries on his body didn’t disappear with the shrinking.
The robe, made of unknown materials, was almost instantly soaked in blood. His left eye was also a pitch-black hole.
Obviously, that pierced eye did not recover.
The silver monolid, looking at everyone, flashed with a sinister glint.
The next moment, Behemoth suddenly disappeared from everyone’s sight.
“Not good!”
Almost at the same time, everyone turned their heads, looking towards the back.
Those still with combat power also quickly dashed towards the rear.
“You… it’s time for you to go.” Behemoth’s figure appeared abruptly in front of the healing unit.
There were still many strong ones receiving treatment here, but more were the healers quietly dedicating their power.
“No! Don’t!!”
Li Chen managed to support his body with the help of Ning Wangyang, looking towards that direction with a frenzy of light in his eyes.
Because he saw a figure among the people in the healing unit.
Cherie!
Many showed disbelief and fear at the sight of Behemoth.
Only Cherie calmly glanced at Behemoth, then her attention was drawn to something else.
She realized that Li Chen was looking at her.
He finally saw me!
This was Cherie’s thought.
Previously, Li Chen was always in battle, and Cherie felt a silent heartache but understood that she should not disturb him at this time; no matter how much she longed to see him, she couldn’t interfere.
All she could do was silently heal others here, and that was it.
She only hoped that when Li Chen resolved the crisis, he would see her existence, and that was enough.
And now, Li Chen finally saw her.
Cherie smiled.
As pure and white as a lotus on water.
In the next moment, a black light overwhelmed everything.
“Big Brother Li Chen, are you a Martial Artist?”
“Brother Cheen, where are we going?”
“Brother Cheen, I’m still a bit unsure about this herb’s medicinal properties.”
“Brother Cheen…”
“Brother Cheen…”
Everything Cherie had experienced flashed through Li Chen’s mind, finally turning into the pitch blackness before his eyes, shattering.
Li Chen’s eyes cracked, blood mixed with tears flowed down his cheeks.
“Is it like this again?”
Li Chen’s body seemed to lose all strength, slowly sitting on the ground. Ning Wangyang beside him was also blown away for protecting Li Chen from the shockwave.
“I’m sorry, Cherie, Brother Cheen didn’t fulfill his promise, I… didn’t protect you!”
“Sorry!!!”
Suddenly, Li Chen felt like he was truly a bastard.
For some reasons, after returning to the elf race, Li Chen also did not get too close to Cherie. Not because he didn’t want to, but because he was afraid; due to some special reasons, he no longer dared to have too deep a connection with other women.
But now… when he wanted to make amends, he found that he could no longer do it.
“Next is you.”
After destroying the healing unit, Behemoth’s silver monolid looked towards Li Chen, seeing his expression, a glint of interest flashed in his eyes.
Slowly raising his hand towards Li Chen, Behemoth prepared to strike him directly.
However, at this moment, a figure with a faint light stood in front of Behemoth once again.
