Chapter 244: Dune Worms
Jason aimed for the Giants’ heads with his [Iron Storm] and tried his best to hit their eyes, and he was rewarded with a loud cry as more than three Giants had their eyes pierced by the blades! The blind Giants began to stumble around aimlessly, and they slammed into the Giants around them and began falling to the ground! Jason was right about the Giants being around Rook Rank I in strength, but being strong didn’t mean that they were smart, and Jason was glad that he didn’t have to put too much effort into avoiding them!
WOOSH!
Suddenly, one of the Giants dropped its sword and raised its shield up before swinging it in a wide arc to try and smack the Skyking out of the air! Jason told the Skyking to swerve to the side to avoid it, and he fired another volley of swords towards the Giant’s head to blind it!
But Jason’s eyes suddenly widened when he felt an intense wave of mana surge through the atmosphere! Even if Jason were asked at that moment to explain what he did next, he wouldn’t be able to put it into words because of how instinctual it was, but Jason had a sudden realization that there was an even more powerful monster coming from below!
BOOM!
A giant monster suddenly flew out from underground with its mouth wide open, and Jason let out a curse as he saw it! It looked like a giant worm with no arms or legs, but it had hundreds of thousands of teeth arranged in multiple sharp rows that descended into the darkness of its mouth! Jason cursed once he saw the monster as he was suddenly reminded of that giant sea-monster that tried to swallow him whole! The worm looked like something straight out of a nightmare, and Jason couldn’t help but wonder where the hell the Lich was getting subordinates like these! The time between when Jason felt the worm’s mana and when the worm shot out from the ground was barely up to half a second, but that half a second was the only thing that saved Jason from getting swallowed whole! Jason got up on the back of the Skyking in one fluid motion and jumped into the air at the same time that the monster reached the Skyking! Jason created a blade using [Iron Storm] and grabbed it before he shot it forward just before the monster could close its mouth! The sword carried Jason as it blasted through the air and out of the monster’s reach, and the monster finally slammed its large mouth closed around the Skyking!
Jason turned around to see the monster falling back into the ground, and he narrowed his eyes as he called on Raya and told her to catch him! Raya abandoned her fight and raced toward Jason’s location, and Jason let go of the sword and fell on Raya’s back before he told her to swerve to the left! Raya did as she was told, and not a moment later, another large worm burst out from the ground as it tried to take a bite out of Raya! The worms were at least twice as large as the Giants, and even though they weren’t revealing their full length, Jason could only guess that they were more than a hundred feet long.
