Mutated behemoths of unknown origin emerged one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The civilizations that had sprouted under the protection of the Seven Sages now teetered on the brink of collapse, facing sudden attacks from the mutated behemoths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone in the Seven Sages, including Semiris, spent almost every day rushing around, eliminating Calamity Beasts in one place after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even with all their efforts, the Calamity Beasts kept multiplying. People had no choice but to consolidate their towns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Small, remote towns were gradually abandoned, and people flocked to larger, more defensible settlements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While this reduced losses to some extent, it only treated the symptoms, not the root cause. Faced with endless Calamity Beast attacks, people could only keep retreating......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On this day, Hulim returned to the town after eliminating a mutated behemoth—or rather, they were no longer called mutated behemoths. They were now uniformly known as Calamity Beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were like disasters to this world, so people distinguished them from ordinary behemoths and named them as such.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any case, after taking down a Calamity Beast, Hulim arrived back at the town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, only Ogrum and Semiris were in the town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others were still out dealing with Calamity Beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah! It’s Winnie!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Hulim return, Semiris looked overjoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In such a tense time, Semiris was probably the only one who could still smile carefreely as always......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, I’m back, Semiris.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After greeting her, Hulim turned to Ogrum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ogrum, you’re back the earliest this time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was close by.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ogrum replied slowly in his deep, rumbling voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And Semiris helped.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from NovelBin. Please report it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right, right! Semiris helped a lot~!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So that’s why......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speed was Ogrum’s weakness, so he usually didn’t take on targets too far away. With Semiris’s help this time, his speed would definitely have improved drastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It made sense that he’d finished so quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really? You’re amazing, Semiris. Great job~.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe~!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Semiris smiled happily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Merkphis hurried over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank goodness! Your Excellencies are here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Semiris tilted her head, looking at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Merkphis, why do you look so flustered?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lady Semiris, I’m flustered because something terrible has happened!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then turned to Hulim and Ogrum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ladies Earth Sage and Water Sage! It’s an emergency!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A Sixth-Rank Calamity Beast has appeared——!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"!!!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Somewhere in the East.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hulim, Ogrum, and Semiris arrived in this land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can feel its aura. It’s not far.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three quickly moved toward the sensed direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, they saw a colossal figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind it, the earth was in utter chaos. It was like a walking avatar of destruction, destroying everything in its path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the powerful magic aura of a Rank S creature spread unreservedly across the land. Ordinary beings would faint instantly just being in its presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure enough, it’s Sixth-Rank. But its aura feels unstable—did it just advance recently......\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hulim observed the Calamity Beast carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rank S foes were no easy match. At the very least, they needed to gather some information first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, just as Hulim and the others were scouting the enemy, the creature seemed to notice their presence......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’ve been discovered. No choice then......\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Splash~......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Streams of water swirled around Hulim, and the powerful magic aura of a Rank S being emanated from her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ogrum, I’ll leave the front to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ogrum nodded and took a step forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom——!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Rock Giant the size of a mountain rose from the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to this Rock Giant, even the sizeable Rank S Calamity Beast looked like a doll that could be held in one’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The towering Mountain Giant clearly stunned the Calamity Beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It froze in place, craning its neck to stare at Ogrum, forgetting to move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Semiris will join too~!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the two take a serious stance, Semiris also unleashed her power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Rank S magic aura of the Fairy Queen spread through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the land was shrouded by four Rank S magic auras, transforming into a magically distorted domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Rank S Calamity Beast finally came to its senses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roar——!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It let out a threatening roar and slowly backed away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike lower-level Calamity Beasts, it showed signs of wanting to flee in the face of three powerful forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although all Calamity Beasts encountered so far had been extremely irrational, those that reached Rank S ultimately displayed more intelligence......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But its massive body made escape an impossible hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Typically, Rank S beings possessed high intelligence and the ability to take human form. Natural weaknesses like speed would be overcome after transforming, no longer restricted by their original bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, while the Rank S Calamity Beast in front of them had some intelligence, it was clearly insufficient—preventing it from shapeshifting. Naturally, it couldn’t overcome the speed disadvantage of its original form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hulim, Ogrum, and Semiris surrounded it directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing there was no way to escape, the Rank S Calamity Beast abandoned all thoughts of fleeing and fully unleashed the madness inherent to Calamity Beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roar——!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It spewed a beam of light from its mouth, slamming toward Ogrum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attack hit Ogrum, shattering chunks of rock that rained down on the earth below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Ogrum seemed to feel no pain. He raised his fist high,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>then slammed it down fiercely on the Calamity Beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom——!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this punch, the Calamity Beast was slammed into the earth. Cracks spread outward for kilometers centered on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roar!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet it wasn’t defeated by this single strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, it wasn’t even seriously injured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the vitality of Rank S beings was fundamentally different from those below Rank S.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, it had taken the eight of them some time—and the cost of leveling an entire canyon—to take down that Forest Giant Wolf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, Hulim’s group had three people. While defeating it was inevitable, it would definitely take much longer than that......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After fighting for a while,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the Rank S Calamity Beast was covered in wounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the ferocity in its eyes never faded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, it grew more fierce as the battle went on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This guy is incredibly tenacious......\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hulim couldn’t help but wonder if it was originally a species specialized in vitality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh——!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, two shooting stars streaked across the sky, approaching rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, looks like this lord arrived just in time——!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1140,"2026-06-10T06:36:37.918Z",1,"novelbin.me","eaa4f898fdf8c4874c4d168cb6311259f81b9a640f7b5eda0c931ee01261f83d","the-adventures-of-hulim-chapter-265","the-adventures-of-hulim-chapter-263",528,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-adventures-of-hulim-cover.jpg"]
