Chapter 277: Sand Elemental (1/2)
'It's the creature from last time!', Rex screamed in realization after seeing the huge silhouette in front of him that appear from the ground.
Now that he saw the creature in front of him, Rex remembered the last time he's here.
After going inside the temple, the system gave Rex a quest to beat the three guardians to get an extra reward before getting the Carabidis Gem and finishing his Pack Quest.
He then followed the light inside the temple and find himself in front of the huge gate.
There's a hurricane symbol on the huge gate that catches Rex's eyes, and when Rex popped his head inside to peek, he saw this creature that now is in front of him!
Adhara and Kyran look at the creature in front of them in shock.
The creature in front of them is like the embodiment of sand, its lower half is completely made of swirling sand while the top half is humanoid but the creature has no face at all.
Only a set of red eyes lies on its face, the rest of its face is completely flat.
Rex scans the creature with the system before he gritted his teeth,
<Carabidis Sand Guardian>
Race: Elemental Spirit
Power: Sixth Rank (Early) - Sand Elemental
Mental: 193
Strength: 622
Agility: 180
Endurance: 309
Intelligence: 396
Looking at the stats, Rex was quite shocked by the ridiculous amount of strength.
ROAR!!
Right after he scans the Sand Elemental in front of him, the three big cats that are supposed to be at the entrance suddenly lunge in front of them.
The three big cats stand beside the Sand Elemental with their fierce claws on display.
By the looks of things and how the Sand Element reacts to their arrival, Rex realized that these three big cats will fight alongside the Sand Element.
Rex then looks to the side and saw the mutated wolf got impaled by the sand spikes.
With nobody to help the mutated wolf, it got impaled easily since it's only a low-rank creature that doesn't hold a candle in front of the Sand Elemental.
Although their story is not much, Rex slightly feels pain looking at the dead mutated wolf.
He then glance back at the four creatures in front of them before he said, ”You guys take care of the mutated wolf, I'll try to fight that thing”
Hearing this, the others nodded their heads as they went into their battle stance.
Even Delta prowl deeper baring her fangs as she fixated her eyes on one of the big cats that are also looking at her with full hostility.
”Let's go!”
CRACK!!!
The ground cracked as Rex jumped towards the Sand Elemental like a maniac.
After Rex's signal,
The others also follow behind him, they all pick their big cats to fight with as their bodies glow with different colors.
BOOM!
Rex's fist glows with a yellow hue as he activated his Force Beam, his arm muscle contracted as he drives his fist towards the Sand Elemental.
Swoosh!
”What?!”, Rex widened his eyes, his fist went through the Sand Elemental.
The Sand Elemental can't be touched by his fist as the momentum pushes him through the Sand Elemental, but before he landed on the ground, a sand spike blasted from the ground threatening to impale him.
By twisting his body in the air, Rex manages to dodge the sand spike by a hair's length.
He then landed on the ground before looking back at the Sand Elemental as his battle spirit got riled up, ”Then let's try this!”
BLITZ!
Rex's body cracked with black lightning as stretched his hand up and summon a lightning strike.
BOOM!
The Sky Rupture spell landed directly on the Sand Elemental but just a fraction of a second after the Sand Element creates a sand barrier around its body.
But Rex saw that his black lightning hurt the Sand Elemental for quite a bit.
Parts of the Sand Elemental turns black because of the Sky Rupture spell, and from the way it glares at Rex, it's certain that the Sky Rupture spell hurt it.
”Spell work on it!”, Rex mumbles as he tries to conjure another Sky Rupture.
The Sand Elemental feels another disturbance of mana from above, and in response to Rex's attack, its body got sucked into the ground and disappears.
BOOM!
Because of that, the Sky Rupture missed as Rex looks around cautiously.
The Sand around him rumbles because of the Sand Elemental, it's like a creature under the sand moving around creating a track wherever it goes.
Rex's eyes darted left and right before suddenly, his legs got grabbed by something.
Before he can do anything in response, the Sand Elemental grip Rex's leg before it is tossed Rex to the side crashing to the temple's wall.
BOOM!
A web-like crack appeared as Rex's body crashed into the temple's wall.
While Rex is fighting with the Sand Elemental, the others also are currently fighting against their own big cats.
Roar!
The big cats that are fighting Delta have many injuries as the fights go on.
It's a brawl between two animals and their fights are brutal, the biting marks and claw marks that are the sign of their brutal fight can be seen on both of their bodies.
But Delta's body has a little fewer injuries than the big cats.
Thanks to the force barrier that is surrounding her, this helped her in blocking light scratches.
In contrast to Delta's fight, Kyran's fight is the other way around.
Kyran was pushed around by the big cat fighting him because of their gap in power.
The big cat's strength is evidently stronger as every time Kyran clashes against the big cat, he's the one that got pushed back instead.
Boom!
”Arghh!”, Kyran grunted as he got flung to a tree on his back.
