Its once tenacious vitality quickly dwindled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, it was taken down by the combined efforts of everyone......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a surprisingly resilient creature. Still, it can’t even shapeshift—truly a lowly beast through and through.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scherfil spoke in his usual sarcastic tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now that this thing’s dealt with, we should head back. There might be other places that need this lord’s help!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hulim Heyerar nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Agreed. Let’s return.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Winnie, Winnie~!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Semiris flew over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Semiris found something over there~!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Something?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Led by Semiris,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hulim Heyerar and the others arrived at the location she’d mentioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a primitive tribe—not the treehouse village built by the ancient elves, but one constructed on the ground. Unfortunately, it had been completely destroyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the traces left behind, it was clear the Calamity Beast had passed through here by misfortune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s go down and take a look......\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group flew toward the ruined tribe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no sign of living humans in the ruins, but there was activity elsewhere......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come out. The Calamity Beast has been defeated.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hulim Heyerar called out toward a cluster of trees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rustle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A rustling sound came from the foliage, and a young boy stepped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were others behind him, but they dared not emerge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm? You are......\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the boy in front of her, Hulim Heyerar felt a strange sense of familiarity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This content has been unlawfully taken from NovelBin; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boy was dressed in primitive attire, with various war paints on his body, but Hulim Heyerar recognized his race at a glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm? You look odd. You’re not elves?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Galamand stepped forward to inspect the boy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boy lifted his head to meet his gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph~. Truly a foolish, lowly barbarian. They’re humans—don’t you even know what humans are?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Humans?! \"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Galamand stared at the boy in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really?! The short-lived intelligent species? I thought they’d gone extinct long ago! Never thought any still existed!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most people would have felt offended by such words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the boy remained composed—even calm and mature beyond his years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the moment he stepped out, he hadn’t shown an ounce of cowardice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"May I ask—did you defeat that giant beast?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh? That thing? Yeah, we took care of it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you for defeating it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boy bowed deeply to the group, offering his gratitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He held the bow for a long moment before straightening up again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This place is no longer suitable for settlement. The survivors of our tribe need to find a new home as soon as possible. Noble benefactors, please allow us to depart.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh...... I see~?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Galamand looked surprised. He glanced behind the boy, then down at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, kid! You’re weak, but you’ve got guts. This lord admires those with guts!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Galamand raised his right hand, grabbed one of his fangs, and pulled hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fang snapped off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once separated from his body, the fang quickly expanded. Galamand squeezed it firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the fang transformed into the shape of a scimitar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is made from my dragon tooth. I’ll give it to you! Use it to protect the people behind you from now on!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boy froze, but Galamand roughly stuffed the dragon-tooth scimitar into his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staring at the weapon in his palm, the boy hesitated for a moment before speaking:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"......Thank you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need for thanks. It’s just a tooth to me—I’ll grow a new one in a thousand years!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"......\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, we’re done here. Let’s head back!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Galamand left the boy behind and turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh...... Who would’ve thought a lowly beast who only knows how to fight would occasionally help others.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The ‘lowly beast’ comment is unnecessary! And this lord has always been kind-hearted!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Galamand leaped into the air, muttering complaints as he flew away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others followed shortly after.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before leaving, Hulim Heyerar glanced back at the boy once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where have I seen him before......\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did this boy’s appearance feel so faintly familiar?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hulim Heyerar couldn’t figure it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps she’d met someone with a similar face somewhere. If this was one of humanity’s ancient ancestors, it wouldn’t be impossible for later generations to share a resemblance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reasoning it out, Hulim Heyerar stopped dwelling on the thought and followed the others away......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Hulim Heyerar and the others left, the boy still stood there holding the dragon-tooth scimitar, lost in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rustle......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surviving humans emerged from behind the trees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have they left?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think so...... I saw them fly away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank goodness. In the face of such dangerous beings, we’re completely at their mercy. I was so scared they’d drag us out......\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The survivors felt no joy at their narrow escape—only endless sorrow and despair for the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do we do now? Our tribe is gone, and so many of us are dead......\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My dad, mom, and little brother are all gone. I’m alone......\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why did I have to survive......\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why do we have to go through this......\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We just want to live. Is that so hard......\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Curse this era. Someone please end it......\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Voices of grief, sorrow, hatred, and despair spread among the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst it all, only the boy stood apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young girl approached the boy holding the dragon-tooth scimitar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She asked timidly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"......Taita, what do we do now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice was soft, but the others—who had been talking—fell silent. All eyes turned to the boy named Taita.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he was still young, he had already become the unspoken leader of this group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boy didn’t turn around as he spoke slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Giant beasts roam, and divine beings run amuck.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is an era of chaos, darkness, sorrow, and hopelessness......\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"......\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So......\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boy slowly lifted his head to the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others stared silently at his back, as if seeing a glimmer of hope rising from his young shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ahead of them, the boy’s eyes grew more determined than ever. A great vow took root in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will end this era!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......\u003C\u002Fp>",1070,"2026-06-10T06:36:37.918Z",1,"novelbin.me","97b8b303bc559e13f71f80dcb44b575002ccd098a87f82731bccbe56131fd20c","the-adventures-of-hulim-chapter-266","the-adventures-of-hulim-chapter-264",528,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-adventures-of-hulim-cover.jpg"]
