Chapter 896: Goliath, Earth Arachnids, & Behemoth

Goliath! reenvel.c

Gilhause cast the mob-summoning spell. The ground split and out came the earth-element golems that looked like they were trained soldiers with armor on.

These golems were up to 14 feet tall, making them taller than any normal ranker. They had four limbs that seemed to be inherently protected by armor-like outer shells made of shining crystalline stones. They had long feet and nimble arms. They carried various weapons in their hands. Some had equipped themselves with maces while others carried long earth-element runic shields.

These golems had two eyes that shined with white brilliance. They had square noses and wide jaws. Due to their similar features, they were practically indistinguishable if one ignored the weapons they carried.

There were other golems summoned by the Goliath spell that was not as eye-catching as they could be. They had lesser details and looked like ordinary golems. However, every golem carried a weapon. It let everybody know that even the normal golems summoned by Gilhause could put up a decent fight.

Earth Arachnidhis was the spell for giant earth-element Scorpios. They couldn't be summoned like the mob spell because Gilhause could only summon three at a time. However, they made up for their lack of numbers with their damage potential.

These earth-element Scorpios were up to 20 feet long and had very detailed mana bodies that resembled any typical Scorpio mana beast. They had six legs and two giant pedipalps. They also had a sting attached to their tail that looked as flexible as it was lethal.

Unlike normal scorpions, these summoned creatures had three mouths. They had sharp teeth and big tunnel-like mouths, which made them hideous to look at. These earth-element runes reinforced their bodies and made them resistant to normal attacks.

Gilhause was not done with his earth-element summons. One could say that he had more variety of spells in his arsenal than an earth-element summoner. And he intended to use all his powers against Eren.

Behemoth!

A small earthquake was felt in the surroundings as the earth started birthing a very large mana body on the battlefield. This creature was about 25 meters tall and 20 meters long. He had beads of sweat on his forehead as he cast this spell. The mana pulse released by this summoned creature was very intimidating. It told the rankers how fearsome this creature was going to be.

Behemoth had a lizard-like face with a bird-like beak. It had horns on its supposed nose. The horns also peeked through its forehead and other parts of its face.

This creature was on his fours. It had thin hind legs and long front legs that looked like arms. The creature had thick scales on its body as well as various earth-element growths. It had sawtooth-like spikes on its back. It had sharp-looking claws that seemed to be made of metal.

'Hmm. Things would have been troublesome if this old man could manage to summon two of those.'

Eren thought to himself as he looked at Gilhause's summoned creatures. He had to admit that he was slightly intimidated by the summoner's spells. No wonder he got into a prominent position in the army. With spells like these, Gilahuse only needed army personnel to protect himself from any incoming attacks. The rest of the battle would be taken care of by his summons.<novelnext> </novelnext>

The butcher could see that Gilhause was a better summoner than Goro because he had his path figured out. He didn't need to invest much time in researching spells and their effects because summoning spells related to earth elements were already in relative abundance.

Goliath was supposed to take care of the enemy mobs. Scorpios were tasked with attacking key players within enemy lines. Lastly, Behemoth was supposed to destroy the enemy flanks with overwhelming might.

The Goliaths struck their weapons to the ground or on their chests in unison to create rhythmic thuds. The Scorpios made chattering sounds with their sharp teeth as they ground them against each other.

And the behemoth just stood still like a mountain. His eyes glowed green and he stretched his claws as if waiting for orders. Even without making any noise, the behemoth's presence couldn't be overshadowed by anything or anyone. This towering creature looked like it would create quakes every time he walked on his fours.

The earth element golems had a basic weakness and that was the golem core. Once it had been damaged, the summoned creature would disperse on its own and its body would revert to being a lump of earth.

However, one would have to wonder how they would find the golem core inside the Behemoth. Even if they locate it, the next question would be how to destroy it without getting squashed by the creature in the process.

Eren used his soul sense on the earth element summoned creatures and found out that Gilhause wouldn't be able to maintain the Behemoth spell for much longer. He'd either have to cancel the remaining summons to focus on Behemoth or let Behemoth's consciousness get dispersed and crash its body in a few minutes.

Gilhause started breathing heavily when he cast Behemoth. Summoning such a beast was only possible because of his C-rank elemental attainments and the in-depth research his clan had collected for him regarding earth-element summoning.

The whole reason Eren allowed Gilhause to finish casting his spells was that he wanted to see for himself how the man did what he did best. He was bound to digest his experiences once he had Gilhause in his grip. However, some things are better seen in real life for a broader perspective.

Eren's eyes shone with greed when he thought of digesting Gilhause for all his elemental attainments and gains. He couldn't have asked for a better summoner at this point. Gilhause's attainments would truly enrich Eren's summoner path as a whole.

"Wooo!"

The butcher whistled inadvertently as he exhaled a deep breath looking at Gilhause's summoned creatures. He wondered how he would ever convey his thanks to House Remus for its all-in investment in him.

AN: Speaking of conveying thanks, happy thanksgiving day. :)
