When the king‑bone shell‑monster fell, a brief silence fell over the desert.
Gais went and brushed off the black liquid smeared at the edge of the spear.
Monsters don’t speak either
The conversation ends here; it’s fine even if you kill
Saaaaa……
The sand moved.
It wasn’t the wind.
The entire sand dune was moving slowly.
Dryard looked around.
The ground...… Move."
Gais raised his shield.
"Behind."
In an instant, the middle of the desert exploded.
Kwaaang!
A giant sand-monster larva emerged.
A giant larva that reaches several dozen meters in length.
The entire body was covered in sand and black scales.
As the mouth opened, the circular teeth inside began to turn.
And as if responding to that cry
The dunes on all sides collapsed.
Kugugugugugu……
Gais raised the spear.
The larvae all rushed in at once.
From the ground, from the fiery wills, and so
And before it, a dark whirlpool net
At that moment.
Kwaaah!
A tree root sprouted from the ground.
Dryard tied up the larvae.
Gais broke through that gap as it was.
Flames burst at the tip of the spear.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
The larvae’s carapaces were pierced through one after another.
But the enormous larva twisted its body.
Bang!
As the tail passed by, the sand exploded.
Gais blocked it with his shield, but was pushed back.
At that time, from the sky—
Whoosh!
A sandstorm descended.
Dozens of silhouettes appeared within the storm.
Desert moth, you fairs.
Every time it spread its wings, golden sand dispersed in all directions.
“Another Nimpair, huh?”
Gaisuga said irritably.
One Nimpair raised its hand.
The sand clumped together like a window.
Crack!
Dozens of sandstorms came flying at the same time.
Gais turned the shield.
Kakakakakang!
The sand spit was completely thrown away.
In that gap, Dryard’s vine flew away.
The Nymphairs scattered, carried by the wind.
But at that moment—
The desert floor cracked.
Kuuuuuuung!
A huge torrent surged up.
It was the underground water vein beneath the desert that had burst.
The water spread in all directions.
The sand turned into mud.
The nimpears’ movements momentarily slowed.
Gaisuga did not miss that gap.
"Now it’s my turn
I thrust the spear forward.
Kwaaang!
The water stream was compressed along the window.
A massive water-pressure spear struck and stretched out in a straight line.
One Nimpair flew away.
But something huge rose up from behind.
As the water mixed with the sand, it formed a gigantic shape.
Desert water dragon.
The entire body was made of mud and sand.
There was a rock protruding from the back.
As I opened my mouth, sand and water poured out at the same time.
Gais raised his shield.
Kwaaaah!
The stormy surf crashed against the shield.
My feet kept being pushed down.
"This is…… A bit strong
At that moment, Dryard placed his hand on the floor.
Rumble rumble!
Under the desert, huge roots rose.
It wrapped around Suryong’s body.
"Now!"
Gais ran.
Electricity gathered in the window.
The wind spun along the edge of the window.
Even the flames overlapped.
Squeak—whoosh—crash!
And
Kwaaaang!!
Three forces pierced through Suryong’s chest all at once.
The massive body shook.
But instead of falling—
Sand fell from Suryong’s body.
What was inside it revealed itself.
A gigantic black crystal.
Dryard opened his eyes wide.
That...… I'm not a living being."
Something moved inside the crystal.
An eye opened.
And across the entire desert
Thousands of eyes opened at the same time.
Gaisuga slowly raised the spear.
“……Now it’s really starting.
