As my resistance skill levels skyrocketed, I rushed across the swarm of malicious beetles, finally finding the red one. This one was specially different than the rest, and certainly, even stronger!

"Gotcha!"

"SHAAA?!"

The monster let out a horrid screech as it felt shocked and by being cornered by its own kin, it had no other choice than to confront me. However, the bastard was different than the rest not just in color, but his stats and even his element were different! What's up with these damn bugs?!

Looking at this fool's status I can't help but feel shocked! Monsters in this desert are really just in another difficulty altogether, this damn red one had fire magic and all at high level! He even has Mini Meteor?!

FLUOOOSH!

Enormous flames surged around the enormous red beetle, as countless fireballs started falling over my body, alongside piercing blazing spears, one after the other, they started to explode as they hit my body.

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

I continued rolling across the flames as they impacted me. Unluckily for this bastard, my Fire Resistance was already at Level 6, and was good enough that I could tank his magic even though my metallic exterior started to melt and crack. As I rushed around his swarm to regain HP while killing them, I evaded some of his attacks and constantly cut the distance between the two of us!

"GRYSHAAA!"

BBZZZZ…!

The monster's wings began flying rapidly as it tried to run away from me. These bugs really had a cowardly nature, despite this bastard having 250 Divinity. I guess any monster that grow strong enough and begins turning into special variants has some divinity growing within them, this just shows that high ranked monsters are comparable to high ranked divine beasts from Genesis. In fact this entire world from the beginning could be said to be a "Divine World" where the lesser power level are living deities, and everything above is just even stronger.

These bugs alone, it feels like fighting and crushing Great Gods, and that one red bastard is probably a Rank 6 to 8 Great God, his fire already is filled with Divinity, and somehow this damn critter seems to be amazing at it! From the very beginning that I knew there was something odd with this world, I gathered clues everywhere as I fought many monsters and foes… And yeah, I can confirm it, this damn world is just in another level.

But that's good, because it has made me surpass my own limits, and grow stronger as well!

"SHAA!"

The red beetle suddenly conjured a dozen of magic circles at the same time, as enormous, twenty-meter-big rocks appeared one after the other, covered by gigantic amounts of flames and being fired all against me, they were of course Mini Meteors, they were smaller than mine, but faster, and could be conjured all over the place!

Tens of them were coming my way!

"Kireina, hang on there!"

FLAAASH!

Suddenly, a blazing flash emerged, as Sol swung his sword covered in fire and sliced through tens of Mini Meteors at once, making them explode ahead of time!

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

"Oh, so you're pretty capable at the end!" I said, ignoring him as I appreciated his help, quickly clashing against the red beetle.

"Gotcha, Blazing Commander!"

CLAAAASSSSSHHHH!!!

My spikes easily pierced through the bug's body. But it was tough, the bastard had high stats and physical defense at high level, it somehow tanked my entire body slamming at it and looked at me furiously, using its to attempt to devour me.

But in a contest for devouring one another, I will always win.

"[Mighty Caterpillar Bite] + [Divine Authority of Gluttony]!"

CLASH!!!

My jaws emerged, monstrously clashing against the bug's jaws and then, snapping them!

CRASH!

"GRYYYEEEHHH…!"

The beast tried to spit acid on me, but I quickly grabbed its head and…!

CRAAAASSSH!

Crushed it!

Acid and bug juice splattered all over, as I bit through the entire bug's body, eating it as a snack. The bastard tasted awful but was pretty spicy, he recovered most of my HP lost and MP, and just in time as the cavalry finally caught up with me. Not only Sol, but my Egos and Colora as well as Luminous, Brunhild, and Fiere.

"I am no longer standing behind all the time, Kireina!" Luminous roared, unleashing his draconic might as he began to massacre dozens of bugs with his claws and tail covered on his Divine Light Aura, a lethal weakness to these buggers!

CLASH! CLASH! CLAAASH!

Everyone joined the fray, as we began slaughtering dozens!

…However, that commander wasn't the only leader here.
