Chapter 969 Journey to the Frozen Region Once Again
The next morning came once again. The sun once again started to spread the heat into the desert and everyone started to melt again in the heat. Even I can feel it and I have to remove some of my armor to alleviate the heat in my body. In fact, I am craving to have an ice-cold bath right now.
"Morning guys...huh? What's gotten to all of you?" Queen Tanya who just got out of her room was shocked to see everyone including me exhausted and lying around.
"It's... so hoootttt..." Riko sighed as she fanned herself with her hands.
"Yeah...I really want to swim in a cold pool..." Riko said as she poured water on her head.
"Oh? Really? Then, let me try something."
Queen Tanya snapped her fingers and suddenly, the area became colder, we were surprised since even Izmir's ice doesn't help but Queen Tanya easily bypassed it like nothing. It was like we were having an air conditioner installed inside the mansion.
"I converted the hot weather into colder temperatures in the surroundings of this walking mansion, including outside to allow us to not feel the desert heat. Of course, we will still feel the heat once we move away from here so in case you are going to move away because you need to fight or something, then be prepared to take the heat once again once you go."
"Is this how you change the temperature in your castle?" I asked Queen Tanya.
"Yes. Although this spell is something that all people in Sandurk learned to adapt from life in the desert and it is mandatory for everyone to have."
"Wow, that is totally convenient. I can feel my whole body cooling down once again," Renatta can feel again the normal temperature.
"We have a long way to the Frozen Region so we will stay in the heat for a long time. To ensure we are not tired due to the heat, then having the change of temperature to our surroundings is already good," Queen Tanya reasoned.
"You have a good point. We can't afford to feel tired because the way to the Frozen Region without flying is perilous and annoying."
As I said the sentence to educate the others about it, we suddenly felt a rumbling in the surroundings. Then, the intercom came to life and Almira's voice could be heard.
"Everyone, brace yourselves, I am not sure where the enemy is but this is not an earthquake, a nearby Great Sandworm is nearby!"
After hearing our enemy's name, Queen Tanya frowned. "Great Sandworm?! They shouldn't be in this area just yet!"
"Well, I don't have any idea why they are here but they are definitely present and are causing the shaking of the ground. Prepare as this walking mansion is not equipped to handle a Great Sandworm just yet! Best you guys beat it up or lure it far from our mansion!"
I grab my weapon put on my old mask, the White Fur Wolf Mask, and equip my other gear that I removed earlier.
"Alright guys, those who wanted to fight a sandworm and beat it up, come with me. We will make sure this f*cker won't make our home become food they don't even realize they have eaten!"
"Do you even know how to lure them out Manato? Those things are elusive unless we totally disturb them!" Riko frowned.
"No worries. I know how to pull them out from the sand. We just needed to lure them away. Quick, grab the blood of the Sand Dragon," I ordered.
"Here it is!" my Mother appeared with her apron on her while holding the container where the blood of the Sand Dragon is contained.
"Mother? Why are you holding it?" I asked.
"I plan to check on what uses I can make on this with Alchemy but since you want to use it, here you go!"
I smiled and took the container containing the blood from her hands. "Thanks, Mom,"
"No problem dear. Go get them, tiger!" Mom grinned while putting her fist into the air.
I nodded and I carried the container with me. "Alright, let's do this. We have the item we need to lure those squiggly worms out of our way and kill them! Anyone who is willing to come with me, let's go!"
...
...
...
Many of our battle-maniac companions came with me. I know I can defeat them but it will take a bit of time and time is not something we can afford to keep on losing so having multiple of us dealing with the Sandworm will be faster than killing it by myself. Even Queen Tanya joined with the reason that she didn't want us to hog all the fun.
As we left the mansion, the heat once again can be felt but since we are now moving, it doesn't feel that much hotter than before.
"What are we going to do next?" Father asked.
"The blood will smell good for the Great Sandworm so first, we will lure them with this. Just pour the blood into the sand and we start running away. Soon enough, the sandworm will follow. Anyways, you guys should wait in the distance. We will ambush the sandworm there so that the battle is far from the mansion.
Everyone started running into the distance I looked behind me and felt the vibrations on the ground.
"Come here, squiggly, here is some tasty blood just for you!"
I pour the blood slowly into the soil as I started moving. I made a slight jog until full jog. As soon as I felt the tremors on the guard stronger, I started running. The tremors got stronger and then...
"GRAAAAAAAAA!"
A very big mouth and elongated body jumped out of the ground, revealing the Great Sandworm before us. It is much bigger than the sandworm that contains Tina and the weapon of Greed before but since I am not only with Lina fighting this time, even if this guy is big, it doesn't mean it is hard.
-----
[Great Sandworm] (Elite Monster)
Level 300
HP: 20,000,000/ 20,000,000
Trait: Monster, Ground
-----
Soon, it revealed its big mouth full of sharp teeth. They look threatening and even though I only saw them in movies, seeing one for real like this is still a bit intimidating.
"Magicians! FIRE!"
As soon as I gave my command, Izmir, Avos, Riko, and Sora started to bombard the Great Sandworm with the magic of different elements.
"Akira, protect the magicians! This guy will try to target the magicians every chance they get! Pixie, heal whenever Akira's HP gets low or any of the magicians!" I ordered.
"Roger!" both simultaneously positioned themselves.
"Melee fighters! With me!"
I rallied the rest of the group. As soon as we reached its body, I only gave one order.
"Hit its body as hard as you can!"
As soon as I said it, I immediately pierce my Versatile Weapon to its skin. Green blood spurts out on the monster's belly. Everyone followed suit and started releasing their attacks. Father and Mila are in sync with their movements as they proceed to pummel the Great Sandorm's belly.
Pandora releases her gold chain and lets it bury deep into the Great Sandworm's body.
"GRAAAAAH!" I tore off the skin that I stabbed my weapon with, and another green blood came out from the body. It was then followed up by Rika who ignited her sword in flames as soon as she pushed the blade to the open gash of a wound.
"BURN!"
The heat from her weapon can be felt outside as her attack increases the flame's attack.
"GRAAAAAA!" the Great Sandworm tried to hide underground but Pandora immediately controlled her chains.
"As if I will let you escape! Hup!" she pulled the chains on the Great Sandworm.
The sandworm's descent suddenly got halted by the chains that Pandora buried deep into its body. Pandora then begins pulling the chains and stops the Great Sandworm from moving away.
"Attackers! NOW!"
Everyone immediately piled on to the Great Sandworm. Even when it is using its body to swipe us around, the magic spells that were bombarding its body are always stopping and canceling its attacks.
Perhaps it is getting annoyed by our attacks, the Great Sandworm stopped trying to escape and roared before shooting multiple corrosive projectiles at the Magicians.
"Akira!"
"You got it! [Attack Recipient]![Iron Will]! [Castle of Steel]!"
Multiple buffs were immediately in effect on Akira as the projectiles started to rain straight to Akira who immediately blocked them in the shield.
PSSSSS!
The attacks were corrosive but Akira endured and Pixie started healing him as soon as he got continuous damage from the attack.
"Attackers go and attack the Great Sandworm while its attention is still focused on Akira!"
We continue to attack the Sandorm and Queen Tanya is dealing big damage against this guy alone and compared to what damage we can do, our damage output looks pathetic. But it doesn't matter. We will beat it before it gets really annoying right now.
