Not-So an Extra



"RROOOAARR!!"

The deafening roar of the behemoth echoed throughout Agatha, shaking the very foundations of its buildings. 

Its monstrous form towered over the landscape, a hulking mass of fury and destruction. 

With each swing of its colossal fists, it obliterated everything in its path, reducing the towering building to mere rubble.

—Boom! —Boom! —Boom!

The air was thick with dust and debris as the behemoth's rampage continued. 

The ground quaked violently with every thunderous step it took, causing cracks to spread like spiderwebs along the streets. 

The once vibrant city now resembled a war zone, with flames engulfing the remnants of shattered buildings and the acrid smell of smoke permeating the air.

"Tsk."

Nathaniel clicked his tongue in annoyance at the sight unfolding before his eyes as he and Adrian leaped from one earth plate to another.

It was clear that if the behemoth's rampage persisted, the Capital City would be reduced to nothing but ruins.

Or perhaps that was what the shitty organization intended. 

The fact that that bitch teleported the monster right after Arthur activated the city barrier implied a strong possibility.

Nathaniel glanced up at the sky where the transparent glass shimmered with an eerie beauty.

The fact that the city barrier was still intact indicated that Arthur had made a difficult decision. 

He had chosen to sacrifice Agatha to prevent the Chimera from escaping and causing further casualties in other cities.

As the distance between them and the monster grew shorter, Nathaniel turned to his brother and expressed his thoughts.

"We need to catch the monster's attention."

Adrian, who had just extinguished the blazing fire with a powerful jet of water down below, turned to Nathaniel and responded.

"It's a piece of cake."

With that, Adrian chanted inwardly and unleashed a barrage of wind bullets toward the monster up ahead.

—Whizz!

The projectiles whizzed through the air, hurtling toward the behemoth with incredible speed. 

Sensing the impending danger, the monster turned its head, but it was too late.

—Boom! —Boom! —Boom! 

Explosions erupted in rapid succession as the wind bullets found their mark, causing the behemoth to stagger backward. 

Black smoke billowed from its head, obscuring its vision and causing it to emit a deafening wail of pain and frustration.

"RROOAARR!!"

However, the behemoth quickly regained its footing, its massive form stabilizing amidst the chaos. 

Soon, a flickering blue light emerged amidst the smoke, and a streak of lightning shot forth from the behemoth's body, hurtling toward Nathaniel and Adrian.

Reacting swiftly, they leaped out of harm's way, narrowly avoiding the lightning bolt. 

—Boom! —Boom!

Their once sturdy foothold crumbled, shattered by the force of the lightning strike that continued its destructive path. 

In its wake, a trail of devastation was left behind with clouds of dust and debris billowing into the air as a result.

Apart from its physical strength, what the monster needed to be wary of was its Lightning Elemental.

Yes, the Behemoth could wield Lightning Elemental.

"RROOOARR!!"

The deafening roar of the monster echoed through the air once again.

Landing perfectly on their own newly conjured earth plates, Nathaniel and Adrian exchanged a glance and nodded in understanding.

Without wasting a moment, they charged towards the monstrous creature.

As the thick black smoke surrounding the monster dissipated, Nathaniel found himself face to face with its menacing gaze. 

In a swift motion, the monster swung its massive fist toward him. 

With lightning reflexes, Adrian flicked his hand, transforming the earth plate beneath Nathaniel's feet into a pillar, launching Nathaniel into the air.

—Boom!

Nathaniel's previous foothold burst violently as the monster's fist collided with the earth pillar, shattering it into countless pieces.

Hovering in mid-air, Nathaniel seized the opportunity and swung his sword, sending numerous crescent white lights toward the monster.

Undetter, the Behemoth tilted its head and swung its other fist, forcing Adrian to conjure an earth plate beneath Nathaniel's feet once again. 

With a swift change of Adrian's magic, the earth plate transformed into a towering pillar, launching Nathaniel higher into the sky. 

—Boom!

The earth tower cracked beneath the immense pressure, sending debris spiraling in all directions.

Taking advantage, the monster opened its massive jaws and unleashed a searing bolt of lightning towards Nathaniel, who was still suspended in the air. 

Reacting instinctively, Adrian created a protective barrier around his brother.

—Boom!

The lightning bolt collided with the barrier, causing a thunderous explosion that sent Nathaniel hurtling backward at an alarming speed, crashing into a nearby building.

—Boom!

The monster shifted its feral gaze toward Adrian, who stood resolute in the distance. 

Without a moment's hesitation, the monster charged toward him, its thunderous footsteps reverberating through the surroundings.

—Thud! —Thud! —Thud! 

The ground trembled violently under the monster's colossal weight, causing houses to crumble and disintegrate into dust. 

Adrian remained unfazed, his eyes fixed on the approaching menace and before long, a sword materialized in his grasp.

As the distance between them diminished, the monster swung its massive fist and Adrian conjured a hardened wall of earth before him, shielding himself from the impending blow. 

—Boom!

The ground cracked under the force of the impact, but the wall held, allowing Adrian to summon another earth plate in the distance and leap sideways to create some distance.

The earth wall soon crumbled, and as the boy continued to distance himself, the monster's menacing jaws opened wide. 

Within its depths, a brilliant blue light began to gather. 

However, Adrian, who spotted it, swiftly conjured a massive fireball and launched it toward the monster.

"RROOAARR!!"

A deafening boom reverberated through the air as the fireball collided with the Behemoth's gaping maw, causing it to emit a deafening roar of pain.

"RROOAARR!!"

The monster staggered backward, black smoke billowing from its mouth, struggling to regain its composure.

Seizing the opportunity, Adrian chanted and unleashed three earth spears. 

Unexpectedly, the monster jumped backward, causing Adrian's attack to miss and hit the ground below.

—Boom! —Boom! —Boom!

Clouds of dust and debris emerged and swirling into the air.

Just as it landed, the monster immediately rushed toward him once again, with green blood dripping from the corner of its mouth.

Wasting no time, Adrian unleashed a volley of wind bullets, but the monster deftly zig-zagged.

—Boom! —Boom! —Boom!

Arriving before him, the monster swung its sharp claws. 

However, just before it could get near Adrian, the Behemoth's body lurched to the side as it was continuously struck by a barrage of crescent lights.

—Boom! —Boom! —Boom!

"ROOAARR!!"

The monster let out a wail as it staggered. 

Adrian glanced to the side and saw Nathaniel standing on his earth plate.

Seizing the opportunity, Adrian joined in and fired another volley of wind bullets.

—Boom! —Boom! —Boom!

"ROOAARR!!"

The unexpected assault caused the creature to wail in agony, its stumbling movements revealing the toll of the relentless onslaught. 

Yet, despite the combined efforts of Adrian and Nathaniel, the Behemoth refused to succumb.

As Adrian turned to the side, his gaze met Nathaniel's golden eyes. 

They nodded in unison and wasted no time, rushing toward the monster.

As the black smoke surrounding the monster gradually dissipated, the creature's battered head came into view, its grotesque features now adorned with streaks of vivid green blood.

Rising to its full height, the monster unleashed a powerful lightning bolt from its gaping mouth, targeting Nathaniel. 

In response, Adrian swiftly conjured a solid block of earth to shield Nathaniel from the impending attack.

The lightning bolt whizzed in the air and struck Adrian's makeshift wall.

—Boom!

Sensing an opening, Adrian manipulated Nathaniel's earth plate, transforming it into a towering pillar that propelled him upward toward the creature.

Hovering in midair, Nathaniel activated his Enigma, and a surge of power began coursing through his veins. 

As Nathaniel started chanting, the sword in his hand trembled and shone brightly.

When the distance between them diminished, Nathaniel lunged forward, thrusting his sword.

—Stab!

Green blood spurted into the Behemoth's eyes, causing a deafening wail to reverberate through the air.

"RROOOAARRR!!"

—Slam!

A white-haired man in his wedding attire slammed the table in front of him.

The sudden outburst sent shockwaves through the gathering, and the room fell into an uneasy silence. 

The high-ranking nobles and military personnel seated around him at a round table, exchanged nervous glances, their faces reflecting a mixture of fear and curiosity.

With furrowed brows and eyes burning with anger, the white-haired man—Arthur, fixated his sights on the surveillance system hovering in the air. 

The man's grip tightened around his fist, his knuckles turning white as his anger intensified upon watching a live feed of two young men battling a monstrous beast in the heart of the city.

Soon, his voice, filled with a mixture of frustration and concern, boomed through the room, demanding answers from those around him. 

"How the hell did my sons end up out there fighting that creature?!"
