"T-Talon?!" Arryn stumbled back and forth as he got closer from Talon. He felt his heart starting to race in fear and he didn't know why. The world had suddenly turned chaotic in a split second with no warning.

Talon put his hand to guard the boy as he looked around him coldly. 'I'm sensing multiple things moving beneath us… Sand Eaters!'

The auras were too familiar for him not to recognize them. He had already fought one of them before and knew what kind of presence it had. With a simple estimation, he could see that this was a different case.

*BOOOOOOM*

A split second later, giant bulges of sand appeared everywhere around them at the same time. The sand rose up in the air higher and higher till it towered over them.

"What is this?!" Arryn panicked even more as he looked around him. All he could see were giant sand objects popping out everywhere.

Meanwhile, Talon had already figured out everything. 'We are being ambushed by multiple Sand Eaters. Dammit.' Cursing inwardly, he turned to Arryn.

"We need to move, right now! I'm sorry, but I'm going to carry you." He said before he lifted Arryn up and put him over his shoulder.

"What?! AAAAAH!!!"

At the same time, right beneath them, the sand started carving in before a giant worm suddenly popped out. With his vision angle, Arryn was able to see a glimpse of it. Many sets of sharp razor teeth appeared out of nowhere.

'What is this?!' From sheer shock, he couldn't even make a sound. Then, he felt his body suddenly being yanked up. He closed his eyes out of fear of being eaten, only to feel a strong gust of wind hit his face the next second.

Opening his eyes again, he found himself flying in the air, way above the ground. Moving his eyes to look at Talon. He noticed that he had just leaped in the air.

"Hold on!" Talon said as he looked down. The worms have already noticed that they moved and so they instantly dove into the sand again and chased after them.

'How many are there, dammit?!' Even with a simple glance, he could count at least 10 worms chasing after them relentlessly. The moment he lands on the ground, one would appear there and open its wide mouth to swallow them whole.

He couldn't fight them individually since he had Arryn with him. So, he could only rely on Future Sight to predict where the monsters would appear. The moment he locates a good place to move, he would instantly follow his instincts.

Seconds passed as Talon jumped, dashed and dodged all kinds of attacks. He found a hard time juggling all these different thoughts at the same time. After all, fighting 6 different terrifying monsters at the same time while protecting a child wasn't easy at all.

But, unbeknownst to him, Arryn was watching all of this unfold with a stupefied look on his face.

'He's… so strong!!' His eyes shone with a bright light. 'How does he move this fast? I can't even see anything!'

When he met Talon at first, he thought that he was strong purely by the way he acted. He seemed nonchalant and the way he carried himself was as if he was scared of nothing. It was the same demeanor his father had which led him to believe that Talon was indeed a special person.

However, never did he expect him to be this strong. His speed, accuracy, strength, and even technique were so precise that he couldn't even start to understand them. He was in a completely different league.

'I can't seem to get rid of them. Tsk, do I really have to kill them? That's going to be so much pain!' He cursed as he looked down. At the same time, Talon noticed something.

One of the worms was slowly swimming through the surface of the sand with half of its body visible. Unlike the others, its shiny spikes were glistening under the rays of the two suns.

Instantly, Talon felt a cold sensation run through his spine and his senses went off. At the same time, the worm's spikes suddenly blasted off its body as they cut through the air, aiming for the duo.

'Oh, hell no!' With no time to waste, Talon pulled his spear and two Aetherial Blades out as he quickly moved them.

*CLING* *CLING* *CLING*

The spear and the two blades immediately deflected the barrage of spikes aiming for them at an inhuman speed. The sound of the weapons clashing with the projectiles filled Talon's ears.

Talon's pupils moved along with them, detecting every spike and deflecting it using the Blue Lapis spear. However, what he wasn't aware of was that the spear was making a series of faint cracking noises with each hit. The web of cracks filling its blade were growing bigger and more pronounced with each passing second.

Till eventually…

*CRACK*

With a loud cracking sound, the blade burst into small pieces.

'Wha-?!' Talon's eyes widened as he realized what happened. However, before he could even react, one of the spikes passed through his defenses as it aimed for Arryn's back. The young man's mind raced the moment he saw that. Then, without wasting a moment, he twisted his body right before the spike stabbed the boy.

"Ugh!" Instantly, he felt sharp pain assault his back.

"Talon!" Arryn screamed when he saw the man's face twist with pain. But, he didn't even have time to understand what happened before Talon turned around again and landed on the ground.

The two rolled a few times before they stopped. "Fu.. ck! That hurts!" Clenching his teeth, Talon immediately stood up as he grabbed the spike protruding from his stomach and pulled it out.

Blood splashed on the ground as he squinted.

'That hit an organ…. Dammit!' Cursing under his breath, he turned around him. The worms had already surrounded them from all angles and they had no way to escape. Then, his eyes looked at the spear in his hand that was shattered to pieces.

'Great…' With a cold expression, he put the spear down as he looked at Arryn. The boy was still in shock from what just happened so he couldn't move much. 'If I had left the spike to hit him, he would've been dead instantly.'

"Sigh… You lot are really taking it too far…" He said in a cold tone as he started rolling his sleeves. "Attacking a small child. You're truly low scums even amongst monsters." Then, he clenched his fists as his vein popped out.

His aura slowly rose up. "I don't even need a goddamn spear to beat you all up! So, come at me! Let's have some fun!"

As he declared loudly, the worms seemed to understand what he was saying as they screeched loudly. Meanwhile, Arryn was still trying to stand up.

"Hey, Acrypha, I will need you to tell me when one of these things would try to attack the boy. I can't keep an eye on him while killing them." He said.

"... I can. But, how are you going to…"

"I will figure it out somehow. You just keep notifying me of anything."

After saying those words, Talon activated 'Dash', 'Azure Flames' and whatever few seconds left he can use on 'Future Sight' before it starts damaging his eyes. His mind calculated every possibility in a split second and chose whatever path he had to move in.

'I need to kill them all in less than a minute or I will be in huge trouble… Ugh! I can't move too much or I will damage my internal organs even more.' Holding the bloody hole in his body, he took a deep breath.

At the same time, the monsters seemed to have prepared themselves as they all attacked Talon at the same time.

'I have never tried this before. But, with no weapon, I have to figure things out. My hands are my only weapon now.' As he focused intently, the Azure Flames slowly started covering his hands.

He felt a sharp stinging pain assault his fingers, but he tried to ignore it. It wasn't dealing soul damage to him yet so the pain could be tolerated. After leveling it up multiple times, Talon had reached a good mastery over these flames.

They were still violent, unpredictable, and very destructive. But, with each passing day he used them, he was learning how they behave and how he can control them as efficiently as possible. He kept training them daily and trying to reach complete control over them. His biggest step so far was to be able to make them fly wherever he wants and explode whenever he wants.

That was enough for most situations. But, now that he was faced with such a horrible disaster. He can't simply use Azure Flames normally, he had to innovate and the one idea he had so far that he still couldn't execute was coating his hands with these flames and boosting their destructive power to the sky.

He had already succeeded in doing it with the Blue Lapis spear once against a Sand Eater which further proved that his theory was possible.

Now, with no actual experience and basically no training, he had to somehow make it work. It was his only choice.

"AAAAh!" With no time to waste, Talon dashed forward like a ghost, closing the distance between him and his enemies.

The Sand Eaters screeched ominously before they dove down, aiming for Talon. A fight for survival between a sole human and a flock of desert predators begun.

***

Meanwhile, far away from there, moving through the sky. A few small objects could be seen flying at an enormous speed, crossing the vast desert with ease. The moving objects were almost 9 in number as they seemed to be searching for something.

At that moment, they heard loud noises coming from afar and their focus was instantly directed toward that source of noise.
