Chapter 169: Against Massive Desert Beasts

-----

The Gods walked across the sands of the desertic lands of Sandara, the power they emanated was that of Demigods, most of the Living Deities were defeated, and those that survived were those that ran away somewhere else in space.

These Demigods were of varied Ranks, bust most of them were between Rank 3 and 7, emanating a variety of elemental divine auras. They walked across the sand, as an artifact within the hands of the leader of the party began to detect something, a large concentration of chaos attribute particles nearby.

"Just a few more meters…"

Meanwhile, a large group of monsters reached the large lands of Sandara, being greeted by a cold and unforgiving desert.

They scanned the area while three figures led them.

"Phew, our last stop in this little journey… Is this where the last fragment is?" asked Abyss.

"Yes, but there might be a few more in the other continent, the wild one without any civilizations." Said Chaos.

"Oh, I see. We should hurry up and get this done with so we can take a break and relax for a bit. Are you okay with it?" asked Abyss.

"I am. I also want to relax for a bit after this is done. And this desertic area is filled with interesting beasts…" said Chaos.

"I can feel a lot of monsters approaching, papa!" Said Erebus.

"I do as well, my lord." Said Belphegor.

TRUUUMMM!!!

Suddenly, the sands shook as several beasts surged from within it, attracted by Chaos chaotic miasma aura, which attracted monsters like ants into sugar.

A variety of monstrosities capable of surviving in the conditions of this place emerged! Gigantic sharks covered in brown scales and having several sharp teeth, Giant Sand Sharks, deadly sand-crawling vipers the size of almost 20 meters of length with massive gaping jaws, Giant Sand Vipers, and even monstrous millipedes and sand worms, all in the dozens!

Chaos and everyone else quickly conjured their magic attacks as constant explosions of phantom flames, space severing waves, chaotic spears, freezing cold ice, poisonous bullets, and more began to fall over the monsters, the moment they emerged was their death sentence!

Their agonizing roars were only heard for a few seconds as they were not even given the time to agonize for a little bit, the ruthlessness of Chaos and his servants was overwhelming!

The sand sharks were small, being around five meters, they were fast predators that acted in large herds and swam through the sands hunting small prey than them, but sometimes they would gang over larger and weakened monsters, they were the easiest to defeat, being blasted into pieces with the explosions of magical spells.

The massive Vipers were harder to kill in the sense that it took more firepower, but the phantom flames of Belphegor easily grilled them alive and left them ready to eat!

Abyss used her space magic to sever space through powerful spatial shockwaves, slicing through the millipedes and sand worms' tough bodies. They were all sliced into large halves of flesh, covering the sands with all sorts of colorful bloods.

Yuki conjured spikes of ice that were coated in freezing winds, freezing large areas of the desert, and leaving the creatures caught by the ice in a perpetual and cold death.

Ifrit's flames burnt through where Belphegor flames could not reach, as the incandescent flames generated by his demon's fire magic were enough to turn into ashes some of the prey, which he stopped because he knew Chaos liked to eat what they hunted.

In just a few more minutes, everything was over…

As they had fought, Chaos was confronted by Emperor-tier monsters from each of these races that had surged to challenge him out of nowhere, they were strong Pseudo Demi Deity creatures of Rank 2 to 4, but he defeated each one fairly easily, no more than a few attacks were necessary to slaughter them without any problems. Despite still being in the same realm as these monsters, he was already at the peak of it, and his power was completely in another level.

After slaughtering them, Chaos and his group enjoyed a little break, eating the monsters as a picnic. They were in a hurry, so they ate them raw, but Chaos was thankful that they were mostly all roasted, he added some soy sauce-like sauce made of fermented beans harvested in his Kingdom, alongside sweet and citric sauce, and some wine to go with it.

The flavor of the sharks was fishy but quite dry, so a lot of wine and sauce had to go with it. The flavor was nonetheless quite strong, and it went well with the shrimp-like flavor of the boiled giant millipedes. Their thin legs were gigantic, and the white meat inside was deliciously tender and fragrant…

The viper's meat was quite chewy and a bit elastic in texture, but it was good nonetheless, it had some fat stored around, which gave it a lot of juice when it was roasted and then bitten. There was also a tasty amount of blood stored in the giant beasts, which Chaos enjoyed drinking the most.

Natalia had brought her mother to this expedition, her power level had quickly risen since she was rescued, but she was more like in this trip to be with her daughter. She had been slowly recovering and drinking the blood of these strong monsters made her feel revitalized.

At the end, Chaos got a few more Skills out of the Emperor-tier monsters, the others didn't gave him anything, his All-Consumption was becoming more demanding of better prey to get more skills.
