Chapter 1794 1794. Angry Ignus

"Research aside, we need to know how to handle these monsters. It's very clear that even though this place is expanding and somehow incredibly tough to survive in, that the monsters are more than anticipated." Mordant finally snapped at all of those doing their research. He was very unhappy to find that there were more monsters around every corner they seemed to turn.

"That is very unusual. The increase in life here is not what we have expected. We may have started to research these things by habit, but I do promise that the last records we had were not as such. This place should be harder for monsters to breed in. I would say that they are in a massive breeding cycle."

The idea that monsters could go in to a breeding cycle was not unusual. But for such a terrible place like a desert to have one made a lot of confused faces appear. "We have never recorded one. That is until now but you have all seen the evidence." Ethan stopped. He was looking at them all and especially made sure to show his sincerity to the royal dragons that all appeared annoyed now.

"It is clear that this is occurring but we have no idea why. That is because we have no information of such things happening until now. But we all know what it looks like, correct?" Ethan seemed to gain more confidence that speaking like this wouldn't harm the relationship he had made so far and proceeded. "The desert is often not researched due to the problems here. The dangers and the undead. But we clearly see that it is possible for things to flourish here… somehow."

Seeing that there was not enough knowledge for the Fel angels to show a theory of why there may be an increased number of monsters, the soldiers and dragons started moving again. The policy for the moment was clear. Move away from the danger and make sure that they did not keep running in to so many monsters. All it took was a group of powerful monsters and they would be severely weakened or lose everything they were carrying for supplies.

"I would assume that there are many prey items. The real question we should ask is, what started the chain of reaction to cause a breeding cycle this powerful? Your empire had research, people don't just start hunting one thing less, the same for monsters in the wild." Gil made a point to get the angels talking. He knew they had information they could take and learn from. Genesis was still vastly uninformed about Sigil.

"Well, the weakest monsters that breed the most are the sand mites. But we have yet to see a single one while here. They do not attack living things but instead will survive by eating sand. It is odd but they are an earth type monster. They also like to attack sand worm eggs so they are a bit of a pest." One of the Fel angels was sure to tell Gil an answer as soon as he had the chance.

It appeared with a new monster came more curiosity for the Fel angels. Clearly, they were very similar when it came to curiosity as a whole. But where things seemed to be separated was what they researched. The Fel angels that cared more for healing, the life mages, were less interested in the monsters being around more often due to some breeding cycle. They were having conversations about how they would heal someone based on the attacks of the monsters they saw.

While Walker wanted to praise all of them for learning in these situations, he too was annoyed. The Fel empire clearly could get very distracted. But he saw the benefits of it. They Fel empire was learning at every step so that they could help their people get stronger and survive in this palace. That alone was enough to prove that they would keep getting stronger.

"What's going on Midnight" Midnight had come next to Walker and was looking around carefully. But this was not the only reaction out of everyone, The royal dragons seemed unsettled and so did the dragonkin.

Walker felt this and began to check his senses. The sudden increase in earth mana made it clear that he and the others could instinctually feel that something was off. "There's something under us in the sand." Walker made everyone stop again. This was the third or fourth stop in just an hour. The progress of the day had dramatically slowed. But the feeling of sands moving beneath them were clearly about to answer one of Gil's questions.

Before anyone could say a word, a large amount of sand shifted near where the tan sand flies and the prickled mantis were swallowed up revealing what had given birth to the adolescent saw toothed sandworm.

'Adult saw toothed sandworm

This is the adult form of a saw toothed sandworm. The four large pincers are the sharpened serrated teeth that it uses to easily cut through tough defenses of its prey. Those that it does not swallow whole are cut to pieces by the inner teeth of its digestive tract. It is known to sense the struggles of things on the sand and attack them.

The saw toothed sandworms will often dig very deep within the sand only coming up to the surface to eat. Some of them will hunt more when they are preparing to go in to a long term slumber. This will only happen when they reach adulthood due to their high energy requirement.

The tough skin is considered a great material if someone can get ahead of a fresh sample. The saw tooths that they have are great to make weapons out of but are often too large to wield. Some will harvest the rare gems, jewels, and other things they consume as they tunnel through the desert from their stomachs. Many things get stuck in their bodies throughout their lifespan.

The best way to scare them off is by using fire. They too are very susceptible to the what of the desert. This means that they will not stay close to the surface for a long time. It also is why they prefer to be very deep in the sand or even tunnel in to the earth if possible. Not that they can easily move through denser earth due to their large size.'

"We should run? Or we should-"

"Weak little worm!" Ignus roared as he saw they were stopped again. It was clear that he had reached the very end of his patience. But when Ignus took his full dragon form, Walker started to call others to him.

"Pull back and wait. Everyone that had buffs or shielding skills, use them now!" The order was enough to make everyone do so. They could tell that the fire mana around Ignus was much more powerful. Meanwhile, the other royal dragons just looked annoyed and too. But they were annoyed that Ignus had lost his temper again. So much so that flames were billowing from his mouth as he charged at the massive adult saw toothed sandworm ahead of him.

Just as multiple skills were used to resist the heat and defend from Ignus's anger, his claws reached the sand worm that was attempting to retreat within the sand. The tearing of claws made it sound as if they had just been brought in to another world. It wasn't the heat that was getting them but the fact that Ignus's claws were also searing through the body of the sandworm.

The intense heat wasn't just burning but also causing the sandworm to be encased in flames. It was not a surprise when the rest of its massive body started to writhe and come to the surface. The whipping motions made it seem as if the entire area was brought in to chaos. Almost another storm as a whole for the desert to handle.

Ignus was still attacking without hesitation. His anger was being fully released on the powerless sandworm that was over four times the length of an adult fire dragon. Something that should have shocked everyone many times over. Yet, it was more of a state of awe due to the intense strength that Ignus demonstrated as he slashed apart the massive sandworm without any resistance.

The strength of a dragon was not clearly defined yet by the Fel empire. Now they were frozen on the spot. They had not seen the strength that a dragon had properly. They were seeing it now though. The clear and undefined rage that Ignus had showed just what they were capable of. Defeating a single monster that annoyed him which the Fel empire angels would struggle with unless they had a solid plan and army. A truly frightening event.
