Have fun with the fire.
The next second, the endless yellow sand on his body surged.
The sand on the ground floated out. The yellow sand covered the sky.
The world lost its color at this moment.
Countless grains of sand began to spin crazily.
It enveloped the surrounding hundred meters.
‘Boom!’
The grains of sand rose into flames when gasoline seemed to have splashed them.
The poisonous wasps squeezed into a ball received the most intense burning.
Beyond A-rank skill, Flame Sandstorm.
‘Creak!’
‘Creak!’
The poisonous wasps that attacked the sand chrysalis dissolved the ice and fell like snowflakes under the terrifyingly high temperature and the burning red grains of sand.
In a dozen breaths, this smothered thousands of poisonous wasps to death.
The god’s ancient tree rooted in the sand also received the malice of this world.
‘Roar!’
They could hear terrifying roars.
The human-faced giant tree branches swayed and waved in the red sand.
Loud bangs bombarded the surrounding land.
Richard looked from afar.
A sandstorm that covered an area of ten meters spun crazily.
The sandstorm burned with a scorching flame, and the sand inside burned like red-hot steel. It kept bombarding the human-faced giant tree in the middle with violent power.
The god’s ancient tree twisted and swayed in the red sandstorm.
The distorted figure was faintly discernible with endless pain and roars as if a Balrog was born in it.
The scene seemed to have a sturdy visual and psychological impact.
Richard’s figure disappeared above the god’s ancient tree before the magic power was exhausted.
A moment later, the Flame Sandstorm gradually dissipated.
The poisonous wasp that flew in the sky earlier had disappeared.
However, what was surprising was that the god’s ancient tree, one of the main targets of the attack, remained full of vitality even after it received such a terrifying attack.
Moreover, the opponent’s injuries recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Richard could not help but frown when he saw this.
This boss was too meaty.
He thought he could use his Beyond A-rank skill to suppress the boss by force.
However, the boss’ life force has not weakened at all.
The ability to devour the surrounding flesh and blood to heal his injuries was too extraordinary.
As long as he did not deplete the energy stored in the god’s ancient tree, it was impossible to kill the boss.
“Unless my strength increases to the point that I can cripple this boss in one wave and prevent it from recovering, I will ultimately be in a stalemate.
“But to possess such strength, I’m afraid my current magic energy will have to increase by ten times…”
Even Beyond A-rank skills could not progress. Richard felt a little frustrated.
“I should get rid of the blood pool next to the god’s ancient tree.
“This thing is like a charging device. It constantly replenishes strength.”
After he had a definite goal, his train of thought gradually opened up.
“If it were on a rocky, perhaps, it wouldn’t be easy to do this, but here, it’s a desert…”
He again approached the god’s ancient tree after his magic energy recovered to its upper limit and his exhausted spirit has starkly restored.
This time, Richard directly controlled the gravel to build a tunnel-deep underground.
It was 200 meters.
Richard separated the surrounding gravel and came to a hundred meters from the god’s ancient tree. At this moment, the blood-colored lake was above his head.
He waved his hand.
‘Whoosh!’
In the depths of the earth, the sand moved to both sides, and the ground began to spew sand continuously.
Three hours later, the extra sand on the ground formed a small hill.
The god’s ancient tree also sensed something this time and appeared very uneasy.
But it did not know how to deal with the things underground.
It could only control its roots to be alert. That is to prevent enemies that might suddenly appear.
A massive underground space gradually took shape in the sand two hundred meters deep.
Richard estimated it was about time. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and turned around to leave the underground.
After he returned to the surface, he pressed down with both hands.
‘Rumble!’
The underground space barely supported the sand above it and collapsed.
The ground suddenly sank with the vast weight of the lake.
A huge hole appeared on the ground.
At this moment, the bottom of the blood-colored lake on the ground exploded.
Countless amounts of blood surged into the depths of the earth and were sucked dry by the dry sand.
After the blood dried up, several white and swollen corpses appeared at the bottom. That made one’s hair stand on end.
At this moment, the god’s ancient tree was frantically trying to stop the blood from seeping into the earth.
However, its roots were not made of cloth, so how could it stop all of this…
‘Roar!’
“No!!”
A strange language resounded in the sky.
The enemy let out a heart-wrenching roar.
When Richard saw this, yellow sand began to shine.
Endless sand once again enveloped the enemy.
This boss was cardinally strapping. But its most fatal weakness, or rather, the fatal weakness of all these life forms — it could not move!
A tree was still a tree, and only by taking root on the ground would it be the most powerful.
However, this most strapping point, at certain moments, would also become a fatal weakness.
Although the opponent could pull out the roots of the tree and run away.
After it lost the earth as a support tree, the tree still had some strength.
The god’s ancient tree could devour the blood pool energy to recover its life. In addition, the existence of the poisonous wasp could offset this weakness to the greatest extent.
However, when the opponent’s proudest trick was destroyed, its weakness would still be exposed.
The Flame Sandstorm rose again.
However, this time, Richard did not let the troops wait any longer.
He waved his hand.
“Gray, Gunter, take all the troops into the air!!
“Remember, don’t get closer to the opponent’s attack range!”
When Richard gave the order, the undead soldiers of the Axe of the Dead and the sand condensation archers immediately rode on the dark gargoyles and took off.
