Starting from primitive world, building the strongest divine kingdom - Chapter 323

Chapter 323: Chapter323:Cave Seal Broken, Monster Emerges
At that moment, a deep growl suddenly echoed from within the cave, reverberating through the walls and making their ears ring.

“Not good, the monster seems to have sensed our presence! It’s coming out!” Matilda screamed.

Enzo furrowed his brows and said, “Prepare for battle, everyone. We need to stop it from breaking the seal!”

Matilda and Kosor nodded, each starting to cast their spells and ready their skills for the fight.

As the growl grew louder, a massive figure slowly emerged from the depths of the cave. The creature was bizarre in appearance, towering with three heads and six arms. Each head bore a large horn, its eyes glowing with a blood-red light, and its mouth was filled with sharp, jagged fangs.

“What… what kind of monster is this? It’s terrifying!” Matilda said, her face turning pale, her voice trembling.

Enzo was also startled by the creature’s appearance, but he quickly regained his composure and said, “Don’t be afraid. We’ll take it down together. Let’s stop it before it can do any more damage!”

Saying this, Enzo gathered elemental energy and charged toward the monster. Matilda also used her ice-based divine arts, firing beams of cold light at the creature. Kosor drew a large sword from his back, swinging it fiercely at the monster.

The monster, struck by the attacks, let out a furious roar. Its three heads simultaneously opened their mouths, spitting flames, frost, and poison at Enzo, Matilda, and Kosor.

Enzo flashed to the side, easily avoiding the flames, then leaped into the air and slammed a punch down onto one of the monster’s heads. Matilda quickly dodged the frost attack and continued to use her ice divine arts, trying to freeze the monster’s movements. Kosor nimbly evaded the poison.He waved his big sword and kept chopping towards the monster’s legs, trying to make it lose its balance.

The monster, in pain, became even more frenzied, swinging its six arms and charging at Enzo, Matilda, and Kosor.

Enzo Matilda and Kosor fought while retreating, evading the creature’s attacks and searching for a weak point.

“This monster is too powerful, we need to come up with a plan!” Enzo shouted.

Matilda looked at the monster, thought for a moment, and then said, “Enzo, let’s focus on attacking one of its heads. If we take down one head first, it will weaken its power, just like we did with the three-headed beast on Gamma!”

Enzo nodded and replied, “Alright, let’s target the middle head!”

The three of them charged toward the monster again, concentrating all their strength on the middle head. After a fierce battle, they finally managed to injure the middle head, and the monster’s power was visibly diminished.

“Keep attacking!” Enzo shouted.

They pressed on, continuing their assault on the middle head. With their combined efforts, they finally defeated it. The monster let out a terrible scream, and the remaining two heads went into a frenzy.

“It’s gone mad! Be careful!” Matilda warned.

The monster, with its two remaining heads, attacked Enzo, Matilda, and Kosor furiously. The three of them fought while retreating, searching for a weakness in the creature.

Suddenly, Enzo noticed that when the monster attacked, its right and left heads momentarily became out of sync. An idea sparked in his mind.

“Matilda, I’ll distract it. You find the right moment to strike at the neck of the right head. There’s a weak spot there!” Enzo shouted.

Matilda nodded, and Enzo charged at the monster, deliberately exposing himself to draw its attention. The monster took the bait and lunged at him.

At the perfect moment, Matilda fired a powerful beam of ice from her divine arts, striking the weak spot at the neck of the right head.

The right head of the monster was heavily injured, its movements slowing down. Enzo seized the opportunity, once again gathering elemental energy and delivering a final blow to the right head, successfully defeating it.

Now, only the left head remained, and it was already on the brink of collapse.

“One last strike!”

Enzo, Matilda, and Kosor charged at the monster together, putting everything they had into their attacks. Though the monster was near its limit, it still fought desperately, with the left head spitting a mix of flames and poison, surging toward the trio in a fierce assault.

Enzo’s gaze sharpened, and in a flash, he broke through the torrent of poison and fire. An elemental energy shield surrounded his body, flickering under the impact, but holding strong as he continued to charge toward the monster. With a resounding “boom”, his fist, filled with the force of a thousand pounds, slammed into the remaining head of the monster.

Matilda wasn’t idle either. She quickly formed hand seals with both hands, chanting incantations under her breath. A more powerful ice-based divine arts spell erupted instantly, and a cold beam shot forward like a sharp arrow. As it passed, the air itself seemed to freeze, and the monster’s movements grew increasingly sluggish.

Kosor seized the opportunity and leaped high, gripping his sword tightly with both hands. With the momentum of falling, he fiercely slashed towards the joint of the monster’s leg. With a “click” sound, a deep wound was cut on one of the monster’s legs, and black blood gushed out.

The combined force of their attacks was overwhelming, and the monster, now severely weakened, could no longer resist.

Under the intense attack from the three of them, the monster finally couldn’t withstand the blows. It let out a deafening scream, and its massive body crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Exhausted, the three of them collapsed to the ground, panting heavily. Matilda wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, “Oh my gosh, that was so tiring! This monster was really tough to deal with.”

Enzo, also panting, replied, “Yeah, but at least we brought it down. Now we need to reinforce the seal quickly, or it might cause more trouble.”

Kosor stood up, brushing the dust off his clothes, and said, “Alright then, let’s get to work.”

The three of them approached the glowing crystal orb, which emitted a faint blue light, and began to examine the seal. Enzo frowned and said, “The seal looks a little loose. We need to figure out a way to stabilize it.”

Matilda looked at the golden threads of light wrapping around the crystal and suggested, “How about we try channeling some energy into the lines of golden light, see if that helps reinforce the seal?”

Kosor nodded in agreement, “Hmm, that’s not a bad idea. Let’s give it a try.”

So, each of them focused and carefully channeled their energy into the golden light. As their energy flowed in, the golden light began to grow brighter, and the seal, which had been slightly loose, seemed to stabilize.

But just at that moment, the monster, which had already fallen to the ground, suddenly stirred again. Its body slowly rose, and the remaining head let out a low, guttural growl, as if it were gathering its last bit of strength, preparing for one final struggle.

“This isn’t good! The monster isn’t dead yet!” Enzo shouted in alarm.

The monster’s blood-red eyes snapped open, filled with hatred. With a roar, it lunged toward the three of them again. Its speed was even faster this time, and its power seemed to have grown stronger.

Enzo didn’t have time to think. With a flash, he dashed in front of Matilda and Kosor, quickly gathering a powerful blend of elemental energy in both hands and charging toward the monster. A tremendous “boom” echoed as Enzo’s energy collided with the monster’s attack, sending a massive shockwave through the air, making everything around them hum with the force of the impact.

Matilda and Kosor quickly sprang to their feet, casting spells and swinging their great sword once more, joining Enzo in their desperate struggle against the revived monster.

After a fierce battle, the three finally managed to bring the monster down again. This time, however, it made no further movements. Its body began to dissipate, slowly turning into a cloud of black smoke, vanishing without a trace.

“This time it should really be dead.” Matilda gasped, catching her breath.

Enzo wiped the sweat from his brow and said, “Let’s hope so. We’d better reinforce the seal quickly.”

The three of them worked together for a while longer, until the seal was completely stabilized. The crystal orb, glowing with a faint blue light, now radiated a much brighter and steadier golden light around it, with no sign of loosening or disturbance.

“Finally done.” Kosor sighed in relief.

Enzo glanced at the reinforced seal and said, “Alright, let’s go back and find that reclusive old man. We need to ask him for clues about the location of the Ancestor Meat source.”

The three of them made their way back along the path they came, heading towards the old man’s wooden hut. Along the way, Matilda said excitedly, “Ah, we’re finally going to learn the clues about the Ancestor Meat source! I can’t wait!”

Enzo chuckled and replied, “Yeah, let’s hope the old man gives us something useful. It’d be a shame if all this trouble turned out to be for nothing.”

Kosor nodded in agreement, adding, “Exactly. But I think he’ll be reliable. After all, the tasks he gave us weren’t exactly simple, so I doubt he’s trying to deceive us.”

When the three arrived at the old man’s hut, they noticed that the door was tightly shut. Enzo stepped forward and gently knocked on the door, calling out, “Old man, we’re back! The seal has been reinforced.”

But there was no response from inside.

Enzo furrowed his brow and knocked again, this time raising his voice, “Old man, are you there? We’ve completed the task! You promised you’d tell us the clues about the Ancestor Meat source!”

Still no response.

Matilda anxiously said, “Could that old man have changed his mind? Or something happened to him?”

Kosor replied, “Don’t worry, let’s go inside and check.”

With that, Kosor stepped forward and pushed the door, finding it unlocked. It opened with a gentle push. The three of them entered the wooden cabin, only to find it empty, with no sign of the old man.

“This… what’s going on?” Enzo said in surprise.

Matilda looked around and said, “Maybe the old man had to step out for some reason? Let’s wait for him.”

But Kosor shook his head and said, “Something doesn’t feel right. How could the old man suddenly disappear like this? There might be some sort of scheme going on.”

Just as the three of them were filled with doubt, a sudden, noisy sound of footsteps came from outside the cabin. It sounded like many people were approaching.

Enzo said cautiously, “Be careful, it sounds like someone is coming. We don’t know if they’re friend or foe.”
