" Feeding groud ...!!!??? " Lich asked Veliona about it as he was shocked to hear such information.
" Is that true ...?? " Lich says as he remembers the scene where he sees Sphinxer eats his Deviant friend which still gives him horrors every time.
As he hears that, Lich begins to put his hand on his forehead as he thinks about the situation. In his silence, Lich then remembers every moment of Horror in that Dessert Region as he and the other Deviants back then, try to rally out from Tartarus as he with his Deviant comrades and the armies of Demonic Monsters comes into the Dessert as they were soon faced by Sphinxer the unholy breed of both Diviners and Deviants as he bends the sand around them, summoning many of his Demonic Monsters which consist of Sand Worms, Dessert Lizards and more of them as they raided Lich's alliance.
SPLAT ... SPLAT .... SPLAT ....
SPLAT ... SPLAT .... SPLAT ....
SPLAT ... SPLAT .... SPLAT ....
As the gigantic sand monsters raided the alliance's army. Lich then decides to fight Sphinxer as the unholy offspring charge at them in order to defeat them quickly.
When Lich sees that, he then draws his [Fester Blade] as he then summons his Cockroach Monsters that he has in order to destroy Sphinxer and the Demonic Monsters beside him as the cockroach swarm destroys Sphinxer's Demonic Monsters.
While it happened, Sphinxer decides not to stop but he decides to go on as he fuses himself with the very sand and desert around him as he moves through the ground creating sandpits, sand holes, sand tornado, and basically every natural phenomenon that is always related with sand in order to destroy Lich and his friends as he then becomes a Sand Giants as he opens gigantic sand teeth in order to engulf his enemies on the battlefield.
" Retreat ... retreat ...!!!! " Lich says as he flees from the desert while his Deviant calls him for help as she was being devoured by the Sand Atrocity.
" Lich !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ... AKKKHHHHGRHHHH " the female Deviant dies as she was devoured by the Sand teeth while Lich runs away as he sees the skies only to that a Flaming Bird is watching at them and smiles as the bird flies from the scene while Sphinxer rampages over the remaining armies.

( Back to the present.)
Lich remembers the massacre, as he vaguely regrets that he didn't prepare some things in that fight as he was too focused on recruiting the Deviants whose power ensures total destructions like Tornadoes, Flames, and Lavas and forgets to recruit any Deviant in Tartarus that powers are based on water like Veliona.
" I see ... so the reason you recruited us is to ask us to lend our power to defeat this Sphinxer off. " Martin says as he managed to take over his body from Veliona.
" But even though, Veliona's power is based on water (since her power is blood)."
" I can't guarantee that it will help all of us defeat the Deviant that rules the entire dessert. " Martin tells him as he also asks if the Dessert's sun is very hot or not as he tells him that water power is useless if the sun on the Dessert still shines bright, while telling Lich that if they want to attack this Sphinxer Deviant, then they must strike at night where the dessert goes cold.
" That also doesn't work too you idiot ..!!!!! " Veliona says as he takeover Martin's body she tells him that the night in that place is very cold that could even freeze the Blood she created while she tells him that Martin should've known better than even she has powers that are based on water, the truth is ...
" The environment itself is not good for our battle. "
" The sun above the dessert was created using Sphinxer father's power as he is the Divine Ruler of the Sun. " Veliona tells him as she says that in order for them to walk in that death dessert is to walk during the Eclipse.
Hearing that word, Lich then stands up as he asks one of his Undeads to search for the documents he had as he memorized deeply the very word that Veliona uttered.
" The Eclipse you say ... " Lich says as his Undeads give him a scroll while he opens it to find a certain date.
" Hmm ... I see, it is still in the next year in this realm. " Lich says as in the three days the current year in this Sub-Realm will end and the eclipse probably will take at the incoming six months.
" Well, that's what I called good news... " Martin answers as he takes half of his body over from Veliona as he stated that for now, he thinks they will prepare for the upcoming six months as they wait for the Eclipse which Lich agrees with that proposal.
" Indeed, and within the Eclipse hour ... the water from the sea around the Dessert will go on high tide," Lich tells Martin as he remembers that the sea around the [Draining Dessert] is so vast and usually floods up very fast during the Eclipse as it pulls them into the lands.
" With the water pulled from the sea, Sphinxer's range of using the sand around will be decreased as the waters dampen it. " Lich says again as he can see where is this plan going as he agrees with the decision to attack at the eclipse where Martin then tells him that he would like ally with him in order to get out from this Realm as well as Lich since he longed to see the world beyond Tartarus.

( In the Draining Dessert.)
" Damn you Sphinxer ...!!!!!!!!!!! " said a Deviant who was instantly killed by Sphinxer as he used his gigantic massed sand foot to stomp over the Deviant as he chase the others.
" Hmmm ... tasty ...!!!!!! " Sphinxer says as he tells the raiding Deviants that it is useless for them to resist as the whole Dessert they're in is his whole body which means that wherever his enemies go, there will be no end for them to be chased by him as he continues devours the raiding Deviants in his hunger.
While in above, a Flaming Bird looks at him as the flaming bird speaks.
" It seems my son is enjoying himself ... " the bird says as he looks at the happy Sphinxer.
