Sensing that the situation was about to take a turn for the worst, Rocky took out a fake divine treasure to try and defend himself. But the relentless attack of the sand spurting out the ground made quick work of it, making the treasure's spiritual power drain.
"It seems that we are facing the legendary ghostly demon! So awesome!" Even though he was faced with a powerful opponent, Rocky couldn't help but let out a playful grin. He was caught blindsided by the sudden turn of events. Even with the God-killing Sword and a plethora of divine treasures at his disposal, he still found it hard to get rid of his opponent.
But no matter how amazed he was, he was well aware that one wrong step could spell his doom. He once again activated more divine treasures to block an incoming corrosive yellow sand.
As the black insect-nest-shaped object continued spurting yellow sand, the yellow sand constantly sprouted out the ground like an endless geyser. Before they knew it, the whole area was already knee-deep with sand.
With each second, Rocky's and Valeria's spiritual power dwindled as they fought against the corrosive sand storm.
Out of nowhere, a tentacle suddenly emerged from the ground and wrapped itself around Valeria's ankle, instantly pulling her into a dark pit.
"Ouch!" Valeria let out a scream.
Fortunately, Rocky was agile enough to react almost instantly. He immediately grabbed her hand to prevent her from being pulled away further before quickly chopping off the tentacle with his sword.
"Be careful..." Rocky said gently as he pulled her up.
Valeria's heart skipped a beat and her face flushed red instantly. She quickly calmed herself down before asking Rocky, "What should we do now? It doesn't seem like the sands will stop coming out soon."
At that moment, the yellow sand was now near their waist, making it almost impossible to take a single step.
"If this continues, I'm afraid we'll be buried alive!" Rocky said with a serious face.
"Then what should we do?" Valeria asked again as her face turned pale white.
"This guy must be hiding underground. If he is, then that means that his eyes can't adjust to any light. Maybe we can use this for our advantage," Rocky talked aloud as he tried to look for any clue in the surroundings that might lead him to his opponent.
At this moment, he saw that the yellow sand was being sucked into the crater, exposing the ground beneath.
Rocky thought that since the sand was being pulled back underground, it must've been empty. So as long as he could find the monster hiding underground, he was sure to locate his opponent.
After observing for a while, Rocky now had a rough idea of where to look for. Without any warnings, he activated the sword in his hand, and it immediately soared high into the sky as it expanded in size. It then quickly came crashing down, aiming at the exposed piece of ground near the crater.
Boom!
The earth shook violently due to the force of the impact.
