Chapter 1584 Lost In The Middle Of A Sea Of Sand

Chapter 1584 Lost In The Middle Of A Sea Of Sand

When I opened my eyes, I found myself sitting over the sand, as the strong heat of the sunlight bathed over my body, my HP was slowly depleting… Bubu's egg form was jumping over my butterfly body while trying to wake me up.

"Buuu! Bububuububu!!!"

"Uwah! Ah… Bubu…"

I quickly stood up, looking around. There was just an endless amount of sand everywhere, the sky was as clear as blue, and there was a big sun rising from the horizon. I suppose it was already the next morning. Wow, that Desert King's apparition was a real pain in the ass.

At the very least we were able to fight against it and survived the whole ordeal. We somehow survived, as I couldn't see the Desert King anywhere. And the sun was… ouch.

"Ah right, Elfina and everyone else! I remember I held them all tightly but where are they?!" I asked.

I quickly flapped my wings and took off out of the sand, looking around, I quickly summoned my ego weapons to my side, as they told me they had no idea what had happened after we all fell into the sand.

"We couldn't see anything that happened, sorry for being so incompetent, master…" Sighed White.

"Yeah, we blacked out the same time as you did." Black said.

"Hmmm… this place's hot." Aquamarine completely ignored me.

"Hehehe… I've never seen so much sand before!!!" Silva was just not even listening to me.

"Bubu! Come here, let's search!" I said.

"Bubu!"

Bubu jumped over my head as his eggshell was soft, and he hated the burning sand it seems. I quickly began flying around and overseeing the place, quickly finding some figures walking over the sand, as I approached further, I saw it was a group of what looked like Walking Cactuses. They were literal Cactuses walking around. and they had arms and legs. With three empty holes as a "face". When I appraised them, I found out they were [Ferocious Cacti] B-Rank Monsters… Wait, B-Rank?!

I've heard that the entire Desert is strong and I've been certainly slaying strong monsters that come from it, but just a B-Rank pack of monsters that look way weaker! Wow, I guess you can't really underestimate things based on appearance alone, and this was really bad news as well, those cactuses looked totally thirsty for eating those two unconscious elves over there!

"GRA GRA GRAH…!"

"OGRAAHH…"

"GOROROROR…"

They gave out weird groans while they menacingly approached the elves, as their spiny arms slowly approached them. It looked like they were about to have a good feast right there, I had to quickly stop them before this got out of control!

"Oi bastards, stop right there!"

I quickly approached them from above, looking down at them.

"GORORORO…?"

"Yeah, don't dare touch them-"

CLASH!

Suddenly, an enormous torn of cactus plant grew from the ground, forming into the shape of a spear and attempting to pierce through my body! However, because I am an amazing fighter, I easily intercepted the blow and evaded!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

However, I noticed the rest of the Ferocious Cacti doing the same thing. They put their arms into the sand and then extended them into countless spears made out of their own bodies. Is this how they hunted prey that was flying?

"GORORORORO!"

The one that was always saying "gororororo" suddenly went berserk, growing red-colored, its spikes suddenly started rotating around its body and then, it fired them all against us.

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

These were B Rank monsters attacks if they reach Bubu he's as good as dead!

"Bubu, take care!" I said, quickly generating a barrier through the Divine Authority of Humility and protecting him. The spikes the Cacti fired easily cracked through the barrier, however. I had to finish them off quickly before things were to get even more dangerous for my little baby egg.

"Holy Flames… Let's see how resistant you are to the heat of fire." I said with a smile in my butterfly jaws, unleashing dozens of fireballs made out of Holy Flames against them, which began clashing over their bodies and their surroundings.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

"GRUOOHH…!"

"GREEEHH…"

Ding!

[You defeated [Ferocious Cacti (B Rank)] x2]

[You earned 40000 EXP]

Wow the EXP was good!

Two of them died on the spot as they caught in the fire and were consumed, turning into ashes. However, the other four of them began evading my fire and then quickly decided to grab the elves and run for their lives.

"White, Black!"

"Got it!"

"Leave it to us."

The two Ego Weapons flew directly towards the Cacti, unleashing their elements and attempting to pierce through their bodies before the Cacti could retaliate. However, two of them quickly jumped in front and let themselves be impaled.

CLASH! CLASH!

"GRAH! GRAH!"

"GRUUUUH…"

The two were smart enough to sacrifice themselves for the sake of the rest?! These damn monsters are getting smarter above all else! They used their arms and spikes to attempt to stop the spears from killing them. However, the spears quickly began unleashing their elements, darkness, and light, as they pierced through their bodies and made them blow up.

BOOM!

BOOM!

Ding!

[You defeated [Ferocious Cacti (B Rank)] x2]

[You earned 40000 EXP]

"You guys are some nice bags of EXP! Come to me!"

I flew down and chased the last two Cacti, as I unleashed the power of my Demon Eyes, quickly cursing them so they would become slow. Their movements were quickly inhibited and then, I grabbed both of them with Cursed Claws, squeezing them as if they were fruit until they exploded into pieces.

CLAAASH!

Ding!

[You defeated [Ferocious Cacti (B Rank)] x2]

[You earned 40000 EXP]

Total EXP earned: 120k! Not bad at all, I'm already about to reach Level 11 like this!

"Bubuuuu!"

Bubu, however, seemed excited. He had done nothing in the battle as he was too weak to even damage these monsters, but he still gained shared EXP from the hunt as a Party Member, this gave him half of the earned EXP, meaning 60k EXP. He was so weak that leveling up wasn't hard for him at all.
