Battle
The King Behemoth boasts a few impressive stats, but if you defeated the Blue Dragon prior to facing him, he will not pose much of a threat. The only danger that comes into play when facing him is his brutal physical attacks, but you can dull their impact by casting Blink and Protect on your team. Just pummel the creature with your best physical and magic attacks to defeat him. If you want to make the fight go faster, equip a Blood Sword on your strongest fighter.
An alternate method of winning is to simply cast a level 8 or higher Teleport.
