Continue climbing along the narrow path between the rocky mountain ranges.
Steep cliffs jutted out on both sides.
by the way
Kwaaaah!
A waterfall poured down from the mountain.
Water ran down between the rocks and soaked the entire path.
Gaisuga raised his head.
“There’s one up there too.”
On the cliff.
The sand and rocks moved.
The four-orbited stealth units were burrowing into the crevice of the rocky mountain.
Only ripples appeared on the surface, as if sand were flowing.
"It comes."
Bang!
A lump of sand popped out.
Gais raised the shield and repelled it.
At the same time, a swarm of sand-digging bees flew in from the side.
Paaaah!
Countless sand particles swept in like a storm.
Dryard reached out his hand.
Rumble rumble!
A tree root sprouted between the rocks.
It wrapped around the hornet as it was.
But behind it, the heat distortion form revealed itself.
My body shook like a mirage.
Gais did not chase with his eyes.
I looked at the water beneath my feet.
Footprints appeared, rippling on the water.
"So it’s there."
Bang!
The shield charged straight at it.
The distorted body crashed against the cliff.
At that moment, from above—
Ziiiiing!
A beam of high heat descended from the hand of the Geonyeol Executor.
Gais turned his body.
The beam brushed past the shield and melted the cliff.
Melted rock met the waterfall and emitted steam.
It’s hot
Gais threw a spear.
Thud!
It pierced through the executioner’s mask.
And behind them, the glass-witted ghosts poured out.
A body made of scalding sand climbed up the rocky mountain.
Crack!
Gais struck down with a shield.
My body was shattered into pieces.
But the broken pieces of glass that had fallen began to wriggle again.
Dryard raised his hand.
Kraaaak!
The waterfall changed direction.
The water stream swept away the glass shards as they were.
The fragments that had fallen down the mountain crashed into the rock and shattered into pieces.
"This way!"
The two kept going up.
Then the road suddenly widened.
There, dozens of sand whirlwind spirits were spinning.
The wind blocked the entire mountain path.
Gais-ka inserted the spear into the floor.
Ziiiiing!
Electricity spread through the window.
The center of the whirlwind shook momentarily.
"Now!"
The roots of the dryads tore the ground.
Kwaaang!
Countless roots sliced through the whirlpool as they passed.
Gais went and charged forward as is.
Smash one with a shield
Piercing the other one through the spear
Spinning, it cut down the last spirit.
A mountain path opened.
But more monsters were coming down from above.
Desert looting mechanical insect.
A salt-eating monster.
Desert arthropod spider.
And even the giant sand‑monarch larva.
“Again?”
Gais-ga sighed
