Chapter 254 Desert Battle

Ethan deftly evaded the sneak attack of the Sand Wurm from beneath.

He could feel the subtle tremors that were happening under the sand, and through that, he inferred when and where the monster would strike him.

The handsome young man jumped to his right side and rolled on the sand to distance himself from the giant monster.

As soon as the monster made its appearance, Emma instantly bombarded it with Dark Spears, which made the Desert Wurm screech in pain.

Its hardened exoskeleton was very tough, but Emma’s Dark Spears still managed to pierce its defenses.

However, their piercing power was not enough to fully penetrate its body.

At most, the spears only managed to penetrate the Sand Worm’s body three inches, which was not enough to deal a fatal blow to the monster.

Even so, it was enough to draw blood and cause it pain.

The Sand Wurm decisively burrowed itself into the sand, swimming in it like fish in the water.

Once the monster had taken its refuge, Ethan started to run and jump, creating as much vibration as possible, forcing the Sand Worm to aim at him.

Simply put, the handsome young man was using himself as bait, while Emma dealt the blows to the monster’s body.

In the beginning, it was Emma who volunteered to be the bait, but Ethan rejected her proposal.

He didn’t want the young lady to take unnecessary risks.

Between the two of them, Ethan had the most battle experience, and he was confident that he would be able to evade the Sand Wurm’s attacks when it rose from under the sand.

A minute passed, then two, but the Giant Monster didn’t rise again from its hiding spot.

Ethan, who was paying close attention to his surroundings, suddenly pointed his Trident at Emma, casting a water ball that pushed the young lady backward, just in time to evade the Sand Wurm’s attack on her left side.

After suffering repeatedly from Emma’s attacks, the Sand Wurm had decided to target her first.

It wanted nothing more than to crush the annoying pest that attacked it each time it resurfaced.

Emma, who had almost gotten eaten by the Monster, didn’t bat an eye and aimed her wand at the Monster, whose massive body was now out in the open.

“Tenebris Hastis!” Emma chanted, and over a dozen Dark Spears flew toward the Sand Wurm, burrowing themselves in its body.

The monster screeched and shook its body in an attempt to dislodge the Dark Spears that had pierced its defenses.

This, however, was a mistake.

“Rising Dragon Strike!” Ethan roared as he hurled the Sea God’s Trident toward the monster, who had stayed above ground longer than usual.

The Trident was imbued with the Divine Power of the Tide Bringer, creating a Water Dragon that pierced through the Sand Wurm’s body.

The Giant Monster screeched in pain as a fountain of blood spilled onto the desert sands.

The Water Dragon circled around the still screeching Sand Wurm, and this time, it pierced through the Monster’s head, ending its misery.

When the towering monster crashed toward the ground, Ethan and Emma finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The Desert was completely devoid of water, so Ethan had no choice but to tap into the power of the Tide Bringer to strengthen the power of his attacks.

Fortunately, he had ample Magic Power inside his body, so he didn’t suffer from any backlash.

Usually, when Ethan used the Tide Bringer’s Legacy, he\'d consume more magic than usual.

The moment his magic power was completely dried up, he would suffer from a symptom called Magic Thirst, which was similar to the Blood Thirst of a Vampire.

Fortunately, all he needed to do was kiss a Witch to fix this problem. But Sebastian warned him that if his Magic Thirst wasn’t sated within a day, it would cause him to have a migraine, which would only worsen with time.

Of course, this migraine would also disappear once he had absorbed enough magic power. But, it would take more than kissing one person to fix this problem.

If Ethan’s Magic Circuits hadn’t improved after receiving the Tide Bringer’s Legacy and hadn\'t absorbed a portion of Lily’s Origin Magic when the two of them made love for the first time, he would definitely be having trouble right now.

Ethan’s Other Half even joked that every time the handsome young man absorbed the Origin Magic of others, the faster his Magic Circuits would recover.

Of course, Ethan only half-believed his Other Half’s words.

He couldn’t refute that, after absorbing a portion of Lily’s Origin Magic, his Magic Circuits had recovered enough to allow him to store Magic for three whole days, and the magic leakage wasn’t as bad as before.

But since the procedure to absorb a Witch’s Origin Magic was through a union of their bodies, it was impossible for Ethan to test his Other Half’s theory for the time being.

He didn’t want to treat his women as tools to fix his problem.

If they were to really take that step in their relationship, he would gladly do it.

However, he would not take the initiative to force them to make love with him just because there was a possibility of his Magic Circuits fully recovering after their union.

Also, he still didn’t fully trust his Other Half, knowing that the latter was still keeping secrets from him.

The only thing that he was certain of was that his Other Half was on his side and would not hesitate to help him if the need arose.

After the Monster stopped twitching, laying completely still on the sand, Emma walked toward its body as if looking for something.

A moment later, she picked up a red crystal orb that was the size of an adult’s hand.

This was the Monster’s Magic Core, which Wizards and Witches could use to power up certain magical artifacts.

The stronger the monster was, the more valuable the Magic Core was.

Emma then presented the Magic Core to Ethan, and the latter accepted it gratefully.

“Master, what should we do with the body?” Emma asked.

The handsome young man pondered for a bit.

“Can it be eaten?” Ethan inquired.

“No, Master,” Emma replied. “This monster’s body is very hard, and its flesh is fused with sand. Eating it is the same as eating sand.”

“Is that so?” Ethan glanced at the giant creature with a frown.

A minute later, he shrugged and stored it inside his storage ring. Although the monster’s body had taken a lot of space inside his ring, Ethan decided to still take it for the time being.

If it didn’t really have any use then he would just discard it when he needed more space.

After a short rest, the two continued their Journey towards the North, hoping to reunite with Nicole before they made their way towards the Deathseeker Forest, where Luna was waiting for them.
