We all fell completely silent in shock, seeing the expressions of the adventurers I knew immediately that I wasn't the only one surprised to see a grade A beast in a freaking grade E..... rift. The towering Creature seems to be protecting that sphere for some reason.
"But what the fuck, how a creature of such a grade is here, this is obvious we have to get out of here we are going to die."
I nodded at the words said by one of the mages, that mage who is smoking but his cigarette is shaking in his mouth.... We couldn't beat something like that.
Before we could even take a step back that monster I don't know how but it was already at our backs, my sight was only diverted to that scene I was very surprised at no time I could perceive that it had moved.
Was that thing so fast? The hammer it was holding swung down hitting one of the tanks directly in the head it didn't even go off nor was it slightly wounded .... Its head was ripped from its torso by the strong and powerful blow disintegrating.
We were all too surprised that he had killed one of the tanks, one of those warriors built for defense and resistance with ease.
What would be left for the rest of us weaklings?
Especially me...
"Ohaaaaaaaa!!!!"
I heard Klent shout as he swung his axe against the attack But that beast only repelled the attack with his own hammer causing the axe to shatter into fragments.
I watched as the monster swung its massive hammer at Helios, I quickly pounced and took the blow.
I can't explain what I felt.... My bones, my thorax was breaking and my chest was sinking my breath was somewhat short and the air was escaping me without realizing that such a powerful blow on a body like mine ripped my arm from the root of my shoulder and at the same time threw me away, my body crashed against the altar shattering it and I fainted.
Helios gazed at the scene in disbelief and turned to look at the creature and attack it, but he was afraid, his hands were shaking around the sword tightly without moving he was scared.
"Ban, I should have listened to you .... we should not have participated in this."
Helios was irritated and only complained crying, Klent picked up the sword that fell to the ground when I was hit and threw himself against the beast but Behemoth with a great tearing roar shatters Klent's eardrums that begins to bleed and holds his head tightly but in that carelessness that monster released his hammer and with his four arms began to pull his limbs.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! you fucking monster son of a bitch!.....Fuck...."
Klent tried to resist but it was useless, he was losing less and less strength and control of his limbs.
The tank tried to help but the blows of his spiked staff did nothing, Behemoth ripped Klent's arms and legs off and dropped him to the ground, klet's torso released streams of crimson blood dying in a matter of seconds bleeding to death.
"Shit! No, no no no no no no no no no no no no! .... this is fucking bullshit!"
Shouted the remaining tank swallowing saliva and opted to run to escape but the Behemoth wasted no time and grabbed him by the head crushing it like it was nothing making his limp body lay on the ground.
The Behemoth raised one of his arms to grab Helios but a hand had grabbed Helios by the collar of his shirt and pulled him back.
"B-Ban.... I thought you were dead!" cried Helios relieved but with that look of horror it wasn't for nothing, I was missing a whole arm was bleeding horribly from my arm and head.
I smiled at him with a grimace of pain and weakness despite my broken bones I stood up in front of the monster.
"You...damn you dare to throw me with one blow...".
I threw myself with the strength I had, from where? I don't know, but I felt an intense need to survive, not for me, but for my little sister .... she is alone waiting for me at home I can't die and leave her suffering in the hostile world.
I punch the huge monster, the blows resound non-stop while I hit him but I can't even get him to move, I feel that he is going to hit me when it's too late the blow on my face makes me fly away again I don't understand how my head by miracle has not been torn off, I touch my neck I have a cut that bleeds slightly I can tell that I have barely been able to keep my head.
I try to get up but it's impossible.... I see the sphere, that golden sphere with black and white markings that was on the altar and now it's next to me.
I hear a scream when I turn around I see that damn monster trampling the healer making blood come out of his mouth and eyes killing him by the pressure exerted, with his two arms he is crushing the two mages who can do nothing but beg and pray.
And helios..... is kneeling accepting his fate, surrendered to his end without even trying anything else.
"Damn it.... is this the end of me?...I.....No!...No....this is not the fucking end of me.... I'll go home and take care of my sister like I always do.
As the bloodthirsty creature crushes the mages to smithereens I only see Helios kneeling waiting for the coup de grace.
I rise to my feet and clutch my neck even though I can't scream from the mighty blow I've been dealt and form words in a shout.
"Get out of there!...don't mock my Helios!".
I shout looking at him as I barely and barely get to my feet, I only watch as helios holds his head for a moment looking at me with teary eyes and a smile...despite the tragic moment he smiles at me as he always did.
"Forgive me friend .... You were right, this wasn't for us."
I'm stunned, the beast with one bite rips half of Helios' body off, what's left fell to the ground with no more, my gasping breath too much..... My best friend is dead, he was killed in a matter of seconds and it was all for the greed of wanting more money than we earned.
I see on the ground the golden sphere with black and white spots, that sphere that creature to protect killed us.
"It killed us .... for this shit?"
I bend down to pick up the sphere with the only hand I have left and weakly take the impulse to throw it at him, but the sphere glows brightly, which surprises me.
In a moment, without realizing it, the sphere bursts into a white, mowing light that ejects me several centimeters backwards and I lose consciousness.
But it was for a short time because then I open my eyes slowly, I'm in the same place but the creature is gone, as if it had vanished, I look around me, there are no corpses, there is nothing, my torn arm is in place and I have no wounds, which leaves me completely confused.
"Sorry about all that human, But thank you for waking us up."
The soft squeaky voice makes me turn around quickly and I'm amazed at what I see, it's a very small cute being with pale skin, golden hair and horns, wearing a little dress and looking very adorable.
"What... What's going on? What is this thing..."
I feel exhausted and very confused, where are the others? Why have my wounds healed and what is this little being, the creature smiled and then inspects me.
"Wow, how nice to wake up and see something like this, this is going to be very interesting."
Suddenly another creature makes its presence known, it was almost identifiable only it looked more feminine with red horns and its skin was black and its eyes were closed.
"I can't believe you wanted to let this wretched human live sometimes you disappoint me."
Confessed the dark skinned creature growling and folding his arms, the white skinned creature with bulging eyes laughed softly with amusement before looking at me.
"Well it's time to explain what's going on isn't it?".
