Lord Of The World: I Become The Lord Of The Desert From The Start

Chapter 975 546: Xina, Stop Dreaming. Accept The Reality! [1/2]

?

Dark clouds covered the sky and swallowed the light. That dimmed and depressed everything.

She looked from above. She could see the black tide formed by countless giant bugs on the ground and rapidly surged toward a towering city.

There were hard shells, ferocious pincers, sharp tail spikes, and deformed bodies. It exposed all the organs that didn't conform to ordinary aesthetics.

The sight of these was enough to make people tremble in fear. A single one will do. Their number was dense as ants and enough to weaken the legs of the veteran.

Overlapping waves of attacks covered the city in the depths of the raging tides that earned them scars. The sturdy city walls were in danger, and many places had collapsed.

It could collapse at any time in the storm.

"Kill them!"

Xina gripped the five-stars top-tier weapon. That was the dragon-slaying sword. She looked at the giant worms while they fearlessly surged toward her like a tidal wave.

Her figure was always the first to appear before the other party without the giant worm that climbed up the city wall.

Blood Qi Burning burst out from her body. Her broken steel longsword ignited with endless energy.

The weapon tore the seven-to-eight-meter-tall giant worm like tofu.

Her figure was like lightning as she moved through the most intense part of the battlefield.

The soldiers who fought alongside her on the city wall fell one after another under the impact of the giant worms. The figures around her appeared increasingly fewer.

An unknown time has passed.

A streak of scarlet suddenly appeared in the thick clouds in the sky.

Then, the scarlet color quickly spread and enveloped the world.

The giant worm that was still attacking fiercely became restless at this moment.

Then, it retreated like a tide.

The ferocious figure disappeared without a trace. That left behind only exaggerated corpses before the city walls.

Xina looked up, and the Crimson Moon quietly appeared in the clouds.

The clouds that covered the sky and earth couldn't get close to the blood moon. Something must have forced it away.

Her tensed heart slowly relaxed when she saw this familiar scene. 

She knew that the Krina Tribe had survived another calamity.

That was because similar things had happened countless times in the past month.

"Xina, are you alright?"

A tired voice behind her interrupted her thoughts. She turned around and saw a middle-aged female warrior covered in blood leaning against the city wall. She held her sword with one hand and tried to stand firm. Her trembling arm made people worry that she might fall to the ground in the next moment.

"Commander Karen, I'm okay."

Xina saw the other party's face while she forced a smile.

However, she could not conceal the weakness in her tone.

Karen heaved a long sigh. "It's good that you're okay."

She looked outside the city wall with a complicated expression.

At this moment, those giant worms had disappeared without a trace. That was more fearsome in her heart. 

The hoarse voice slowly said, "These giant worms freeze their attacks every time the Crimson Moon rises."

"They would make a bloody comeback when the Crimson Moon subsides."

"Moreover, they will become stronger."

She felt sparingly suffocated as she said this.

The giant worms hid because they feared the Crimson Moon. That's what she thought at first.

She saw a bug that was only level 10. She had injured this and rose to 15 when the Crimson Moon rose repeatedly.

She had a bad feeling.

She had multiple and final confirmation. Those bugs absorbed the power of the Crimson Moon. They could use it to become stronger!!

Her gaze could not help but become dim when she thought of this.

"Xina, it seems like we have no hope…"

The distorted space dragged her while it couldn't connect to the outside world.

They spent every day in war.

Less than two large groups of tribesmen remained.

Krina Tribe had accumulated power over countless exhausted years. 

Xina's heart skipped a beat, and she gripped her broken steel longsword tightly.

"Commander Karen, we haven't lost yet!"

"My lord has already sent me a message last night. He will arrive today!"

Xina finished speaking, and a potent dissatisfaction engulfed Karen's tone. Her voice reverberated before Xina could even respond.

"Shut up!

"Still thinking about your lord? Message? You must be fantasizing after losing all your strength in battle!

"This space has no way of connecting to the outside world! And the treasure we used to transmit information to the outside world no longer works since a week ago!

"The power of spatial chaos has already blocked everything.

"Stop dreaming, Xina. Accept the reality!"

"We have no one to rely on in the Krina Tribe. We can only rely on ourselves!"

These aggressive words tone down Xina. She sighed and didn't refute.

Xina turned around and saw a female warrior. The war severely damaged mostly her leather armor. Blood covered many of her wounds. But she maintained a determined gaze.

She raised her head and looked straight into Xina's eyes. Xina slowly spoke. 

"Molly, I heard it with my ears. My lord will come. No matter what, he will come!"

The female warrior couldn't hold back the anger in her heart and shouted angrily.

"Will come? You only know how to say that, but where is he?"
