Ding!

[You have slain [Desert Piranha Slug (Rank C++)] x16!]

[You gained 160000 EXP]

"Eh? These guys barely give much EXP… If it wasn't for my Titles increasing the EXP earned it would be 80k instead! I feel cheated…" I sighed.

"Well, there's a ton of them all around, don't complain!" Luminous roared.

"Alright, let's end this quickly. There are still the dungeon and the salt dunes left." Said Frank.

Meanwhile, the twin desert elves have discovered a new phobia because they were completely afraid of the slugs. Thankfully Brunhild, Sol, and Fiere were alright.

"If you guys can't handle their disgusting appearances keep yourselves in the back and use long ranged magic!" I told them, as a dozen more slugs swarmed my body and promptly died by being drained out of their energy and life.

Ding!

[You have slain [Desert Piranha Slug (Rank C++)] x13!]

[You gained 130000 EXP]

"Damn these guys keep dying like flies…"

And if they were millions… doesn't that mean I'll get a gross amount of EXP?

I guess I can't just waste this!

"A-Alright, Kireina-sama!"

"We'll keep our distance!"

The twin desert elves remained in the back and began conjuring giant boulders. Large swarms of slugs suddenly emerged from the underground right around them, trying to swarm them by surprise. I guess they didn't missed anybody.

"[Fireball: Lv10] + [Cutting Wind: Lv10] = [Blazing Storm]!"

I combined two basic Skills that have reached Level 10, as an enormous blazing storm erupted from the ground, quickly burning alive the slugs trying to attack the twins.

FLUOOOSH!!!

BOOOM!!!

The screams of countless tiny guys echoed everywhere, as the dried plants surrounding us also caught up fire, beginning to burn the rest of the jungle.

Oops.

Ding!

"I told you guys to keep a distance!" I sighed.

"A-Alright!"

"G-Got it!"

Like that, we continued the massacre.

Sol unleashed several blazing slashes with his swords, burning through the swarms of slugs that jumped towards us endlessly.

SLAAAASH! FLUOOOSSH!

The screams that they made as they were burned alive were truly the thing of nightmares.

Ding!

[You and your Party have slain [Desert Piranha Slug (Rank C++)] x38!]

[You gained 380000 EXP]

"HAAAAH!"

Meanwhile, Frank began moving around the entire Oasis at flashing speed using his cosmic starlight aura to fly around rapidly. His two weapons slashed through the slugs and made them explode and even evaporate on the spot.

BOOOM! BOOOM!

"[Piercing Light]!"

Meanwhile, Luminous, still in his [Humanization] form, simply conjured a flash of very bright light that had a piercing power. The slugs were skewered and fried alive.

FLAAAASH!

Ding!

[You have slain [Desert Piranha Slug (Rank C++)] x47!]

[You gained 470000 EXP]

And damn, they didn't had a bad smell, kind of like seafood. Maybe they're tasty?

"Ugh, don't you dare get any closer!"

Fiere panicked as she continued firing arrows everywhere, but ultimately got surrounded and swarmed, and ended unleashing her Divine Blazing Arrows Aura, which wasn't just fire, but countless arrows made of flames emerged within her aura, burning, and piercing the slugs.

FLUOOOOSSSHHH!

Ding!

Meanwhile, I was minding my own business as I conjured [Blazing Storms] around my surroundings. The Slugs were strong but I was simply way too strong with my Magic at such high numbers!

FLUOOOSSSHHH!!!

"GGYYYYEEEHH!"

"GRYYYHHH…!"

"GRUOHH…"

Their screams were really amusing to hear! It felt nice to kill these bastards that have been depriving the people from their water source for so long.

Ding!

[You have slain [Desert Piranha Slug (Rank C++)] x37!]

[You gained 370000 EXP]

"GRYYYH!"

Another swarm of a few dozens emerged from the ground right below me, trying to swarm my entire body and drain me out of my fluids. But it was completely useless!

"[Ice Spike: Lv10] + [Purification: Lv10] = [Permafrost]!"

FLAAASH!

I quickly froze them on the spot, and then broke them with a karate chop, shattering the entire frozen swarm into pieces.

CRAAASH!

Ding!

[You have slain [Desert Piranha Slug (Rank C++)] x18!]

[You gained 180000 EXP]

"Come on, that's all you've got? Alright, Shadrach, time to use your might!"

"About time!"

I quickly grabbed Shadrach and began swinging him on the spot. His blazing flames were the real deal even as low level as he was!

FLUOOOSH!

SLAAAASH!

The enormous storms of flames that were provoked when I swung him furiously were rather amusing. The Slugs were not just grilled, they were vaporized!

"[Blazing Blade Slash]!"

SLAAASH!

A horizontal slash burned and sliced apart dozens of slugs.

Ding!

[You have slain [Desert Piranha Slug (Rank C++)] x21!]

[You gained 210000 EXP]

[Level Up!]

[Your Level has increased from Level 53 to Level 54!]

[All your Stats have increased!]

[You gained Stat Points and Skill Points!]

"[Fiery Parry]!"

BOOOOM!

A dozen of slugs were easily reflected from attacking me with their biting blows and water magic by a blazing parry of flames coming from Shadrach's blade, burning them alive on the spot.

Ding!

[You have slain [Desert Piranha Slug (Rank C++)] x39!]

[You gained 390000 EXP]

"And… [Draconic Heat]!"

I grabbed Shadrach with all my strength and then swung him upwards, a blazing shockwave of heat emerged from the tip of the blade, so hot it grilled and boiled alive the slugs in mere seconds while they jumped at me, falling over the sands cooked right away.

FLUOOOOSH!

Ding!

RUMBLE!

And just as we were slaughtering hundreds, something larger began to emerge from the depths…

TRUUUUMMMM…!
