Chapter 27 - Chapter 27. Adults

If someone heard his words, they would probably send him to a mental hospital. Just who in their right senses could call such a sight beautiful?

That was a death gate! The sandworms really appeared like black geyser. Marx was moving far high above their limit. He then stood few meters away from their reach.

The sandworms then dove back into the sand and all was quiet again. Marx could only suck in cold breaths despite the scorching heat seeing the results.

All the sandworm's remains had been cleaned and even the blood was no more. One could never have guessed about the gross sight that had been there just a few seconds ago.

This place could probably be ranked as a high danger zone. No one could ever anticipate that such dangerous creatures existed in the desert.

Marx once again released the Halo steps and he landed on the sand and then he shot himself up again. Another sandworm appeared and shot after him.

The first approach was better but he decided on a new approach. He stood around five meters above ground and a meter from the sandworm. He had marked the exact position of the crystals. He would not have to disintegrate all of the sandworm's body inorder to get to the crystal. All he needed was perfect timing.

Just when the sandworm was about to reach the peak height, Marx shot at it and approximated the distance of around ten meters from the head.

That was where he had found the Crystals to be located. This time, he did not use Laser Kicks for he wanted a complete crystal. Instead, he activated Fist Torpedoes.

He did not care as he instantly dove into a frenzy sending a flurry of punch attacks towards the sandworm. His advantage in the air was that the sandworm could not move its body.

Without much of delay, pieces of meat started disintegrating from the main body. Marx watched as his fists started disappearing inside the sandworm's body.

But he could not stop. He did not want to stop. He enjoyed the feeling of having an enemy completly vulnerable to his attacks. The sandworm had been screeching in pain but all this combined with the sound of the laser bullets hitting the sandworm's body, felt like motivational music in his ears.

The pained cries of the samdworms started decreasing and he could now see the Crystal. The sandworm had started falling back and Marx had a crazy idea.

He entered inside the sandworm from the hole he had created with the fist attacks. He took the crystal but rather than leaving, he continued punching. By the time the sandworm was almost halfway down, he had already created a hole to the other side and was now staring at its falling body like the angel of death he was.

He suddenly felt that the mission had turned too easy. Maybe only he could say that. Others would probably escape as soon as possible to evade the sure death sandworms.

Marx felt like provoking more but he suddenly felt bored. He needed tougher opponents. He sighed as he watched the sandworm hit the ground.

The almost 30 meter long creature landed on the sand blowing some away. The reverb caused by the sandworm's was a very high quality vibration.

Almost 30 sandworms shot from the ground and all chopped the sandworm. Marx shot higher above them but who could have thought that due to the quality of the vibration, the sandworms could reach even greater heights.

What shook him most was that he was already a hundred meters above the ground but the sandworms seemed to have not reached their end.

"Too long," he thought as he climbed even higher. It was then the sandworms stopped and started descending. Marx had thought that it was boring but it just turned even more fun than he had expected.

These sandworms were each at least 100 meters long. Marx felt the zipper of the backpack open and Jerry sticking out his head but then the zipper closed again.

Marx laughed as he prepared to attack one of these ones. Shockingly they were two meters wide. Marx analyzed the situation and concluded a few things.

The first being that the ones he had been fighting earlier wrre probably teenagers. Since they were very sensitive to the low vibrations, it meant that ony a certain vibration quality could draw them out.

This meant that the quality of the sandworm's vibrations was very high that the young ones had no room for competing for. Thus these were all probably adults.

Marx almost facepalmed. How could he expect teenagers to be of the same level as him. Only adults were quaified to give him a hard time. Marx then dove after them and activated Halo Steps behind him and shot at the one closest to him.

The first thing he noted was that their skin was probably tougher than those he had been fighting earlier. The best way to test the theory was by using Laser Kicks.

He had marked the part where he expected the crystals to be. As the sandworm was turning ready to dive into the sand, he counted around 20 meters from its head. He spinned himself accumulating as much momentum as he could and landed his kick.

Even with the system's boosts, he somehow felt pain. Like someone had slapped his foot. Before the laser was released, it took around two seconds and the red laser shot from his leg.

As expected, the laser was greatly impaired but it finally made its way to the other side. It then fired on the sand burning some of it. Marx had made sure to evade the Crystal.

Seeing that his first attack was a success, he then started punching at the sides of the points of impact. But the first punch felt like he had hit a wall without the system's boost.

Even the bullets did little to no damage. His face turned serious. It was one thing to be hard but not this hard. The bullets seemed to be rebounded like it was bullet proof.

This was not to mention that these were laser bullets. But all this made him more motivated to test his limits. He could somehow surpass some of his limits after this battle...

Without second thoughts he started punching at the sandworm's body. He ignored the pain that he was experiencing and soon he could see the fruits of his hardwork.

He had increased the speed of his attacks and he had finally managed to create a hole enough to fit him. If the sandworm had not been dead before, it was now dead.

Its screeches had been his motivating factor but its silence was even more pleasing. He was now inside the body of the sandworm punching like crazy. He could still not see the crystal and he could tell that it was almost time for the sandworm to reach the ground.

He could only sigh. He had easily destroyed the body of a teenager but adult, even making a hole was tough for him. He finally saw the crystal and he pulled it out with alot of effort.

Just how fast he had been removing the crystals from the teenage sandworms but these adults seemed to be on a level of their own. After he got the crystal, he quickly jumped outside the hole he had created.

But it was like his luck had been finished for immediately he jumped out, only ten new sandworms appeared but they were far larger and scarier than those before.

Even the adults seemed to lose to these ones. Marx dared not wait for them or he would get devoured. He even realized that his speed could not match up to these ones.

He ended up evading to the best of his stats. He had thought that it was not very dangerous but he now realized that dangerous was an understatement. He shot sideways evading three sandworms and stood from them around ten meters away.

He knew he could never reach above them even if he tried hundred times. All he could do was to get scared. These sandworms were close to ten meters in width.

But that was not the awe catching factor but their skin. It seemed to shine. It was not wrong to say that it was made from steel. Marx continued approximating the length but he shivered when he almost did not see their end.

He approximated that it had reached around 150 or so meters high before they started falling. He stared at the steelike teeth that seemed to have the ability to chew through anything.

Still, even as they descended, the tail was yet to leave the ground. A cold sweat trickled from his armpits as a shiver ran down his spine. Marx even forgot about calculating the length as he was lost in thoughts.

He even changed the line of thoughts. He realized that the first ones he had encountered were probably infants. The second group was made up of teenagers but these one were the adults.

" Teenagers really are my limit."
