Omega Summoner

Chapter 2173: Kholomodumo

”Your majesty! Are you sure that this is the correct decision?” Kabrakan stated as both him and King Leonidas have already returned back to the world of The Wilde.

”I know that he is your sword brother, but he cannot have the creation relic. It is the symbol of all the Selvaggians. The symbol of our race that has endured for far too long.” King Leonidas stated.

”What good is a symbol if our world is already dying? If the entire world gets devoured, the Wilde Heart will no longer be able to sustain it. The creation relic is not that powerful now because of the years it has been sealed. It cannot produce anymore power to help our dying world. I know this because I am connected with it.” Kabrakan stated.

The reason why King Leonidas is very respectful to Kabrakan is due to the fact that he is directly connected to the creation relic. The player that unlocks the race will have something like a mental link towards the creation relic that they have found. It basically gives them details on what the status of the creation relic is. They are like the avatars of the creation relic as they receive something akin to messages about them.

”If the creation relic were to resonate with Equinox, then it might agree to his demands willingly. Why are you making it more difficult than it already is?” Kabrakan stated which made King Leonidas stop in his tracks.

”That is what I am afraid of. Every fiber of my being wanted to bow down to him when he released his aura. I am afraid that all of us will be slaves to the demons if I give him the creation relic. Also, you know that I do not have the final say when it comes to the matters of the creation relic. The other elders will not budge even if I tell them that is the only way.” King Leonidas stated.

”I cannot say that your worries are unfounded, but my friend is not like that. The Faekin did not even dare to raise their voices at him when they know that their creation relic has been used by Equinox. Why are we, the free people, the ones that are holding onto something that could also be sealed once again?” Kabrakan stated.

King Leonidas was about to say something to retort what Kabrakan said but the entire world suddenly shook. A powerful earthquake suddenly started happening and the loud screams of the other Selvaggians could be heard. Earthquakes were not uncommon to The Wilde before, but they started happening frequently ever since the primordial beast called the Kholomodumo awakened. The earthquake lasted for about five seconds before it stopped.

”The shaking is stronger and longer now than before. It is the world itself crying for help.” Kabrakan stated.

”We just need to destroy the primordial beast itself.” King Leonidas stated.

”You wish to sacrifice the lives of the people fighting an opponent that we cannot handle ourselves. The easiest solution was already given to you, but you cling to old ideals that led to this disaster in the first place.” Kabrakan stated as he finally raised his voice as he has grown closer to some NPCs in The Wilde.

”I asked for the help of the demons, but they did not want to give it. We can only rely on ourselves. You will help us deal with the Kholomodumo if you cherish our race.” King Leonidas stated as he entered the castle and called upon all the nobles to discuss the plan of attack towards the Kholomodumo.

”That is the problem. That beast is the predator of all the Selvaggians.” Kabrakan stated as he actually tried fighting it off one time when it first awakened.

Kabrakan actually tried fighting the Kholomodumo when it first awakened and tried devouring the world. He thought that he could at least gauge the strength of the monster before asking the army of the kingdom for help. He easily found the Kholomodumo at the very edge of the world as it actually sprung up from the crusts below.

Kabrakan was horrified upon seeing a small part of the world devoured. The primordial beast, Kholomodumo, is said to be weak in the records that he read but it is extremely resilient. The Kholomodumo did not have the firepower to kill Kabrakan as it just chewed on the very crusts of the world. Kabrakan even tried attacking it, but he did not get its attention.

Thinking that he could destroy the Kholomodumo alone, he proceeded to use powerful attacks and skills to try and defeat the primordial beast. Kabrakan did some damage, but the Kholomodumo restored more health than what he could damage. Seeing that he could not deal damage by himself, Kabrakan went to King Leonidas for assistance but that only made it worse.

King Leonidas sent one of his sons and five of his royal knights with their respective armies to deal with the Kholomodumo. The Kholomodumo did not care when they started attacking it as it was munching on the crusts of the world at its own leisure pace. Kabrakan thought that they would actually be able to defeat it as it was just a meat sack, but he finally noticed something was wrong.

The resilient army made out of the top fighters in the Selvaggian Race suddenly started to slow down and become tired after an hour of attacking. This should not have been the case as they could easily fight for two days straight without rest. Kabrakan then tried using his Ferocity more as it could increase his stats and damage, but it was already drained to the very bottom.

[The Kholomodumo has lost 10% of its health. It is now using its special skill called Creeping Swallower.]

[All kinds of energy in the surrounding will be absorbed by the Kholomodumo.]

[All stamina consumption is increased by 100 times when the Creeping Swallower skill is in effect.]

[The Kholomodumo is back to full health.]

Kabrakan did not want to believe it, but the proud Selvaggian fighters fainted by the time three hours was up. One of the normal soldiers even tried to aim for the Kholomodumoʼ eyes but he grew weaker and weaker as he got closer to the primordial beast. Kabrakan saw the soldier rapidly age until he looked like an old man. After taking a few more steps, the soldier died on the spot as all of his life energy was sucked inside.

Kabrakan had to use all of his most powerful skill to shift the lands and move all of the fainted Selvaggians away from the Kholomodumo. The proud army that they thought will bring victory had to retreat without anything fruitful. All of the soldiers that participated in that attack became weakened as a result. Some of them have yet to regain the energy that they lost, and this included the prince that accompanied Kabrakan.

The lively prince was bedridden for two months due to all of the energy sucked from his body. Thankfully, the prince was able to recover with the help of the alchemists in the kingdom. Kabrakan now knew why the Kholomodumo looked like a large hairy eel. Adrian did tell him once that the form of the primordial beast often describes what its powers and abilities are.

Due to the effect of the Kholomodumo on the soldiers and the prince, King Leonidas commanded all of the soldiers to be mobilized to deal with the primordial beast. One would think that they would emerge victorious as the entire kingdomʼs army is basically attacking it, but they also came home severely tired after just a day. Since Kabrakan already warned them not to get close, there were no casualties, but they were not able to kill the Kholomodumo.

King Leonidas himself led the assault against the Kholomodumo but even he could not withstand its abilities for a long time. Even long ranged attacks are severely weakened when it lands on its body as it reduces the damage by more than half. One cannot get near it because it will drain the life force of the closest beings, but long range is also not viable as it is sturdy.

Even if the long-range attacks did succeed, the Kholomodumo continues on feeding on the world and regenerates its large health pool doing so. Selvaggians might have strong bodies and powerful attacks, but they cannot destroy something that could absorb every attack they can release. To make matters worse, the Kholomodumo can just restore all of its health in under a minute.

Kabrakan raised the concern that they should ask the aid of the demons. All the elders looked at him with judging eyes as if they did not believe what he just said. A small number of the elders did agree with him, but they were drowned out by the majority. This is the time he knew that the Selvaggians might be free people, but they were too conservative of the old rules that they hate the idea of receiving help from outside their race.
