*Thud* *Thud* *Thud*

The bodies of Nine Sand Critters crashed to the ground after being headless.

Fein eagerly waited for the angelic notification sound of the system. After 30 seconds passed the prompt still didn't appear. He was waiting for the Exp and the souls of the nine Sand Critters that his Abyssal Death Blade needed to evolve.

Fein looked at the bodies of Sand Critters. There's only one possibility why the system didn't prompt, and that's if the Sand Critters didn't die. But how is that even possible? When they are already headless, it is already common sense that when the brain was separated from the body any creatures would die. What kind of crazy vitality does this monster have to survive such a deadly attack?

He looked at the Sand Critters warily. He knew that the system won't fail with such a simple thing. This means that the nine Sand Critters were indeed still alive.

"Be careful, the monsters are still alive!" Fein warned his companion with a solemn face.

He thought that this fight would be easy, but he didn't that the enemy would have this ability. If they can survive without their head. How can they kill them? But Fein quickly relax. There's no such thing as invulnerability, if there is, it won't be in the lower realm. Everything has weaknesses and flaws. If you can find it, you can control the battle and exploit it. This is Fein's belief when it comes to fighting. He won't easily flinch when encountering enemies that seemed to be invincible without analyzing them first.

Sofia looked surprised after hearing Fein's claim. But she believes him. After all, he won't joke something about this. She already knew a bit of his personality after getting along for a month. He was the type of person who would be serious when the situation needed it. Although he always likes to make a joke.

She quickly condensed her Blood Scythe with her pseudo blood manipulation. Along with are her favorite blood bullets.

"It seems we need to fight this time," Sofia said.

Fein nodded. If these things are really what he thinks it is, an undying shit, then they really need to give their all.

Suddenly the heads of the Sand Critters that fell on the ground began to shake. The nine heads turn around with red light in their eye sockets as they were pulled to the body of Sand Critters like a magnet.

Fein watched this creepy scene with an indifferent face. "Attack!"

He knew what the monsters plan to do, so he won't them a chance to get back at their feet. He touched his scabbard as the white light appeared. The heads stopped as all of them were divided into two.

Seeing this scene again, Sofia still felt unbelievable at the speed of Fein's sword attack. She knew that if she was the one on the receiving end, she will die, even if she activates her dark domain.

'He had improved again, he's really a genius' Sofia sighed, the gap between the two became closer already but now it widen again. She couldn't help but lament at his talent in the sword.

Just when Fein was about to remind Sofia again. The system sounded in his ears. But it's not the one he was expecting.

*Ding!*

[Sand Wall (Active)- The user can command the sand to form a thick wall to use as a defense against attacks.]

Just like the description of the system. Nine walls emerged from the ground forming a thick 100-meter wall stacking each other.

'Good move' Fein unsheathed his sword.

Three walls were destroyed by the white light. Fein didn't expect that this wall was tough enough to resist his sword. He grip his sword hard as he infused 13% degu energy. He unsheaths and sheath his blade in the blink of an eye. This time violet light flashed all the walls that were supporting each other were divided neatly exposing the Sand Critters' complete body. Fein saw the head successfully attach to the body again.

Sofia who saw this launched multiple blood bullets without hesitating. Under the barrage of blood bullets, the Sand Critters didn't even have time to react, multiple holes appeared on their bodies as green blood was flowing madly from the wounds.

"That won't be enough to kill, we need to find their weakness. I would take three of them" Fein suggested a quick solution.

Just as Sofia was about to respond the ground trembled again as three more Sand Critters emerged. The newly emerged Sand Critters communicated with others before all of them surrounded us. They formed four groups composed of three Sand Critters each.

"These bastards are quite tactical, But I like it!" Fein smirked as he disappeared in his place and appeared behind one of the groups.

Seeing Fein excitedly fight the monsters. Sofia, Voli, and Aoi looked at each other before heading to their respective enemies. Each of them would fight three Sand Critters. Sofia charged at the group near his position as armor made of blood surrounded her body.

'Dark Domain: Controlled'

This is the new application that Sofia thought of... Instead of expanding the dark domain, she decided to compress it to 25 meters. The power of dark energy when the domain was smaller was 8x stronger. As the smaller the domain the dark energy was more dense and high quality. Thus, the boost she received was stronger.

25 meters from her Sofia's was covered with darkness including the group of Sand Critters. With her boosted stats, every one of her moves would produce after images. She appeared on top of one of them as she slashed the body of a Sand Critter.

The sand critter was unable to react because its vision was covered in darkness. Just like that, a painful screech resounded as Sofia manage to cleave one of the Sand Critters' bodies.

Seeing their sibling's predicament, the others were furious.

They suddenly dig the sand beneath them and disappeared.

Sofia became vigilant. She knew that this is their ability to travel underground. Just like that, she sensed a movement behind her. The dark domain allowed her to sense the movements inside it.

Two spears made of sand emerged at a very fast speed. Even after she sidesteps one of the sand spears manages to hit the armor in her body making a deep dent.

"Ahh!" Sofia grunted at the immense pain. Although the attack only hit the armor. The force was transferred to her body breaking one of her ribs. She spewed a mouthful of blood.
