SSS-Rank Awakening: My Talent Multiplies Everything novel Chapter 37

Chapter 37: Battling The Sandworm.

As the sand worm closed in, Kael immediately activated the Specter-X Nano Bracelet.

Black streams of nanobots surged from the bracelet like liquid darkness, racing across his body. Few moments, they completely encased him from head to toe, forming a sleek suit of dark armor that gleamed beneath the desert sun.

He had barely finished equipping it when the attack came.

The ground exploded.

A deafening roar echoed across the desert as the colossal sand worm burst from beneath the sands. Its enormous mouth stretched open, revealing countless rows of jagged teeth. It looked less like a living creature and more like a bottomless abyss capable of swallowing everything in its path.

Kael’s instincts screamed.

He kicked off the ground and darted sideways.

The gigantic jaws snapped shut where he had been standing only moments earlier. The force generated by the bite created a violent gust of wind that swept across the desert.

The worm crashed back into the sand and immediately began burrowing underground.

Kael didn’t waste the opening.

Reaching into his inventory, he summoned a throwing spear.

Without hesitation, he hurled it.

The spear tore through the air and plunged into the worm’s hide before it could fully disappear beneath the sands.

A shrill screech erupted from the monster.

Its massive body twisted violently before diving completely underground like a fish slipping beneath the surface of a lake.

Kael narrowed his eyes.

The hit had landed.

Unfortunately, the damage was disappointing.

The spear had barely shaved away a small portion of the creature’s health.

There was nothing to celebrate.

This thing was far stronger than the golems they had been hunting all day.

With a thought, the throwing spear vanished.

A heavy combat axe appeared in its place.

Kael rested it against his shoulder and smirked.

"Come on, you oversized worm."

He slammed the axe into the sand.

The impact sent vibrations through the desert floor.

According to the information he had gathered, sand worms relied heavily on vibrations to locate prey.

As expected, the bait worked.

The desert erupted.

A massive tail burst from beneath the sand, whipping toward Kael’s torso with frightening speed.

Spikes covered the tail from end to end.

Venomous spikes.

Kael had no intention of finding out how deadly they were.

At the last moment, he dropped into a crouch.

The tail passed mere inches above his head.

"Not today, sucker."

His axe flashed.

The blade bit deep into the hardened flesh of the tail, carving a long gash across its surface.

The sand worm shrieked in pain.

Its body recoiled violently.

Kael immediately switched weapons.

The battle axe vanished.

A long spear appeared.

Without hesitation, he drove it into the ground.

Boom!

The desert beneath him exploded apart.

The spear sank deep into the sand before striking something solid.

The worm.

The weapon had pierced straight into its body beneath the surface.

The creature thrashed violently.

Kael felt the spear shaking in his grip as the monster struggled.

Then suddenly the resistance vanished.

The worm had escaped.

Retreating deeper underground.

Kael slowly pulled the spear free.

His expression remained calm.

He knew the creature hadn’t fled.

A predator like this wouldn’t abandon the hunt after suffering a few injuries.

It was waiting.

Searching for another opportunity to strike.

Standing motionless, Kael focused completely on the desert around him.

Every grain of sand.

Every vibration.

Every movement beneath the surface.

Meanwhile, several kilometers away, the escaping hunters continued running.

One of them suddenly glanced backward.

His brows furrowed.

"Wait."

"Where’s the sand worm?"

The others quickly looked behind them.

Only then did they realize the monster was no longer pursuing them.

A hunter’s gaze landed on Adam and Zoey.

"Weren’t there three of you?"
