"Finally we are here," Evan said while narrowing his eyes because of the bright sunlight. 

Currently, he was standing at the top of the hill while looking at the endless desert in front of him. 

After travelling for more than ten hours, Evan finally reached at his destination.

While travelling they encounter many B and B+ rank monsters, but they were no match for Evan and his shadow undead so he got some extra cores from them.

Another thing that made him happy was the fact that his shadow undead doesn't get tired and have unlimited stamina. 

While coming here they didn't rest even for a moment, but they were still in their top condition. 

If Evan come here by himself, it would have taken him at least one day to reach here. 

But since he was riding on Eclipse who can run all day without getting tired, he reached here so early.

"According to what I read about this dungeon, there is a den of thornbloom monsters inside the desert. On the Internet it was mentioned to avoid that den because their number is very high and it is very hard to deal with them" Evna said and patted Eclipse's head, indicating it to move forward. 

"But it is a good thing for me that there will be hundreds of thornbloom monsters. With their numbers, I will not have to worry about not being able to gather enough cores to get the skill I wanted" 

Eclipse was standing at the top of the hill which was more than one hundred meters high, but when Evan patted its head, it moved forward without hesitation. 

Just as Eclipse took a step forward a water slide which was going all the way down to the hill appeared, and Eclipse slid downwards at the rapid speed arriving at the bottom of the hill in seconds. 

Nerkros and Aqua also followed suit and came down from the mountain using the water slide. 

After they came down Aqua stopped using its skill and the water slide disappeared. 

Just as Evan came down, and Eclipse's feet touched the sand he felt the surrounding temperature rising.

"Just as I read on the internet, the temperature will increase the moment we enter the desert" Evan muttered feeling the surrounding temperature. 

The temperature in the desert was around 60° Celsius. 

Even though the temperature was quite high, with his high constellation it was no problem for him to endure this much heat.

The high temperature just made him a bit uncomfortable and nothing more.

'Well, I have Aqua with me, I can ask it to make a small pool for me if the temperature starts to bother me' Evan thought while feeling great that he have Aqua with him. 

"Let's go Eclipse," he said to Eclipse who charged inside the desert completely unaffected by the temperature. 

Evan also took his wind fury sword and used wind manipulation to coat it with the wind element. 

Other than plant types of monsters, there are many other dangerous monsters in the desert, like the sand serpent and desert scorpion which blend perfectly with the sand and can travel through underground to attack you by surprise.

Rumble -!! 

Evan didn't move for long before the sand around him started to shake.

Eclipse stopped moving and looked around it vigilantly. Nekros and Aqua also stopped not far away from Evan.

Woosh -!! 

Suddenly the sand in front of them rose, and a small ten meters tall sand tornado formed there.

The sand particles inside the tornado were spinning at a rapid speed looking like small sharp needles. 

Suddenly the sand tornado exploded sending sharp sand in all directions. 

Evan created a wind barrier in front of him stopping the sharp sand coming towards him and Eclipse. 

When the sand tornado exploded, a five meters tall serpent with light yellow scales, and deep orange eyes appeared before him. 

The yellow scales on its body were shining brightly because of the sunlight, and the aura around it was that of B+ rank. 

"A sand serpent" Evan muttered seeing the sand serpent. 

After appearing the sand serpent attacked at him and Eclipse who were closeted to it.

It opened its mouth and a sand vortex which was five metres wide shot toward Evan and Eclipse like it wanted to swallow them.

"Don't interfere" Evan said to Aqua and Nekros who were about to charge at sand serpent for attacking their master, when they heard Evan's voice and stopped.

Seeing the sand vortex Evan narrowed his eyes, his grip on the sword hilt tightened, the wind fury which was covered in wind particles shone with green light, and he vertically slashed at the incoming vortex. 

All the wind element that he gathered on his sword all this time turned into a long wind blade that shot toward the incoming sand vortex.

The sand vortex clashed against the wind blade as the surrounding wind instantly became chaotic.

A sand storm formed because of the clash of two powerful attacks as the sand flew in all directions creating some sand dunes.

Evan jumped down from Eclipse's back, and charged towards the sand serpent while using wind manipulation to stop the chaotic wind and sand particles coming in his direction.

Hiss-!!

The sand serpent hissed in anger seeing Evan coming in its direction.

Suddenly the sand around the serpent shook, and tens of sand balls the size of baseball came out from the ground.

The orange eyes of the serpent shined brightly and all the sand balls shot towards Evan like meteorites.

Seeing sand balls coming towards him Evan's eyes flashed as he used his newly gained skill 'temporal velocity'

Just as he activated the skill the sand balls which were coming towards him slowed down in his eyes.

He was instantly able to see the clear trajectory of all the incoming sand balls, and knew which sand ball he can dodge and which sand ball he has to block.

When sand balls arrived before him he did not slow down and using his increased agility easily dodged most of the sand balls while moving forward.

Wind fury was flashing with wind element as he cut down the sand balls that he wasn't able to dodge.

Just as Evan thought he is about to reach the serpent, a sand pillar shot out from below his feet sanding him fly twenty meters high in the sky.

Hiss-!!

After sending Evan flying the serpent hissed, and shot out a sand vortex toward Evan who was in mid air.

'Damm it' Evan looked at the sand vortex and used shadow wings to dodge it at the last second.

But the sand vortex still touched his shoulder and his crimson hell armour was instantly destroyed from that area as a deep wound appeared on his shoulder.

Evan wasn't surprised seeing the armour was destroyed so easily after all it was just a C+ rank armour while the serpent is a B+ rank monster.

He ignored the wound on his shoulder and arrived above the sand serpent using shadow wings.

He slashed at the serpent from above, and all the wind that he gathered since the fight started turned into a wind blade that shot towards the serpent.

Hiss-!

The serpent felt a lethal threat from the wind blade and tried to move away from there while raising a sand wall to stop the wind blade.

But just as the serpent was about to move away it felt a terrible headache like someone was stabbing needles in its mind.

Puchi-!!

Before the serpent can understand what happened, the wind blade arrived before it and struck it right at its head.

Red blood gushed out from the serpent's head dying its vision red as it hissed in pain.

Evan did not miss this chance as he dived down while deactivating his mind suppression skill.

While coming down Evan started to spin his body, his sword struck the head of the serpent like a drill.

Boooommm-!!

The scales covering its head were easily penetrated, and wind fury dug deep inside its head.

"Farewell," Evan said and all the wind that was covering his sword turned into sharp blades that destroyed its brain.
