White Knight exchanged signals with the weak Behemoth.
The other party was named Neukokos, a very old Behemoth.
Their years were calculated according to the rings on each scale. Neukokos had one hundred and forty-three rings, so it was a 143-ring old monster.
In the Time Stop Zone, Behemoths and Leviathans could also die.
Leviathans were hunted by Feathered Ones and Behemoths, and once they became maintainers of void passages, not only would they find it difficult to move, they would also continuously lose life.
Behemoths were a different case. They roamed everywhere through the Black Wall, swallowing the Black Wall whole to find the Curse Worms buried inside as food.
During this process, large amounts of hard, indigestible Black Wall particles damaged their body surface and insides, causing numerous wounds, tears, and festering ruptures.
These wounds wore down their bodies year after year, making swallowing increasingly difficult. In the end, maintaining their bodies became harder and harder, hunting became even more difficult, and under this vicious cycle, they entered a period of decline.
Even at this stage, Behemoths would not die naturally.
But in their old age, they would be targeted by their own kind.
Under normal circumstances, Behemoths rarely fought each other directly, and they would quickly flee if they encountered a powerful Monarch. In the Time Stop Zone, injury made hunting difficult and would bring their own period of decline ahead of time.
Behemoths would not launch a forceful attack. Instead, they would patiently wait and follow, waiting until their weakened kin could no longer maintain its body and fell into unconsciousness and hibernation. Only then would they launch the fatal blow.
After death, however, Behemoths did not have the Feathered Ones' ability to revive.
"Normally, Behemoths can live beyond 130 rings. I count as very old.
