Chapter 1640 Surprise Heart Attack I
Adrian looked closely at the Behemoth corpse to see if there would be any action that would be done. He waited for about ten minutes and the corpse was not even moving. All the action that happened are the people trying to get the Behemoth's heart of its body.
"I guess this is a false alarm since the World Eater Parasite would not risk being inside a dead Behemoth. If it was still inside, then there is a risk of it turning into stone along with the Behemoth. If it could survive from not getting petrified, then it would die if it does not get nutrients for seven days. The World Eater Parasite will still die regardless of what I do." Adrian stated as he was about to leave.
Adrian looked at the corpse of the Behemoth one last time as the people below are now able to see the heart chamber. Adrian thought that he could steal whatever Pristina wanted inside that Behemoth but that would mean facing all of the people below. He did not want to risk everything for an unknown chance of victory.
"Maybe, I could have Sirius swipe it. I could also stop time when the Heart of the Behemoth appears." Adrian stated as he observed the extraction of the Heart of the Behemoth.
The people below are doing their best to crack the hard shell of the Behemoth. The heart is located just below upper back and in the middle of its two front legs. There is also a large and tough shell that protects the heart which is why going under is not the way to go.
The way to get the Heart of the Behemoth is to puncture or create a hole near its neck. Using that hole, one of them must pull on a gland there which would be able to tug at the heart. If they pulled hard enough, then the entire Heart of the Behemoth will get out of its body.
This process is extremely gruesome, but it is the easiest way to dissect the Heart of the Behemoth. This process is also only possible if the Behemoth is already dead. If the Behemoth is alive then all the muscles in its body would be tight and unable to be dislodged.
Adrian already alerted Sirius to be ready to snatch the Heart of the Behemoth. Sirius was already hiding in one of the shadows of the army general. It would be a cake walk to grab the Heart of the Behemoth as the hardest thing would be to escape with it.
Adrian was also waiting for this to happen with Dodu at his hands. Adrian was carrying Dodu to see if it would react when the Behemoth died but it did not. It was a given that Dodu was a bit far away from the Behemoth, but he just wanted to make sure that all bases are covered.
"Pull hard everyone! We shall offer this heart to the Church of Light! They are the reason that we are alive!" One of the generals stated as the other generals agreed.
The soldiers thought that their generals were shining examples of being a knight. What they did not know is that the deal was already made under the table. The Church of Light already planned to have them be the one rewarded by the Heart of the Behemoth because of their great contribution. This is the reason why almost half of the best priests in the church is present.
"Be strong but make sure that all of you will stay safe." Pristina stated as if she was worried, but she had a different sentence inside of her head.
"Why are they taking too long to dislodge a heart of a dead monster? If I could just interfere, then I would have pulled on that hear myself." Pristina thought but she smiled outwardly to show that she is with them in their endeavor.
"You heard, Pope Pristina! Give it everything you got but stay safe! Pull!" One of the generals commanded as thousands of soldiers started to pull on the mana rope that was created by the mages.
"PULL!" All of the soldiers shouted as veins started to pop out of their hands due to the sheer strength that they are using to pull on the mana rope.
Since the rope was made of mana, the danger of it breaking is only apparent when it is no longer supplied by mana. Since all of the mages are chanting the mana rope, it is incredibly sturdy to pull. All the soldiers have to do is pull at it has hard as they can, and the heart will definitely pop out.
"PULL!" The soldiers shouted once more as they suddenly feel that they actually moved a few feet away which means that the Heart of the Behemoth has already dislodged.
"Widen the hole! The heart might be too big for it to slide right out!" One of the generals commanded as the mages casted Wind Blades to increase the hole created on the neck of the Behemoth.
"The hole is now wide enough!" The mages shouted as the soldiers once again pulled with all their strength.
"PULLL!" The soldiers shouted as they actually started to move forwards.
The soldiers could be seen actively moving forward as they pulled with all their might. They can feel that something is indeed coming out of the hole and all they need to do is pull harder. The mages also started to give some strengthening buffs to the soldiers as it seems that the heart was very difficult to pull.
"PULL!" The soldiers shouted once last time as a large red heart suddenly popped out of the Behemoth.
The Heart of the Behemoth was actually incredibly large to the point that it dwarfed an average man. It was actually five meters big which is quite a feat since the Behemoth that they have defeated is actually a hundred meters in height.
