Huge mites over two metres long pop out of the sand.

A demon named Sandworm, as its name suggests, lives in the sand and travels fast through the sand to devour its prey as it swims.

That wasn't the only one.

Two, three, and one after the other appear to surround the ice ship on which the Lions ride.

"Hmm, so I thought you were going to besiege me!

Mertella hastened the ship.

Then, in an instant, he exits the sandworm siege net and quickly leaves it behind.

"Do you want me to knock you down for once? - Ice Rain."

To a flock of sandworms desperately chasing him, Lion let the ice rain down.

"" "~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~!?

The sharp, pointy ice pierced his entire body, and the sandworms struck around.

Had there been a vocal organ, there would have been a scream of the severed demon.

At that time, sand erupted on a scale not comparable to before.

"What are you, you big fat ass!?

"Is this a sandworm too?

Mertella and Sylvia were stunned. That was a giant wondering if it would be several times the normal sandworm.

Will there be ten meters just within sight?

The thickness also exceeds two metres, with a circular mouth full of sharp fangs at the tip popping out of the sand.

At this size, humans and others would be able to drink a light drink.

The giant sandworm, which leaped its body high in the sky, has plummeted from there once and for all with the aim of the Lions.

I might be going to eat the whole thing like this.

"" Huh!

It was the twins of Alc and Iris who stood up to such an imminent threat without being timid.

Instead, jumping from the ice ship with momentum that seemed to jump into the oral cavity from here, I saw a full kick into the mandible of a giant sandworm.

Bam!

"~ ~ ~ ~!?

My mandible exploded for a tremendous kick up of power.

With pieces of meat scattered around, the head of the giant sandworm rises to the sky again.

He was stuffing the giant enough for a sandstorm to roll as it was, but eventually he dived into the sand to escape.

"" Roasted ""

"I have no choice. It's a hassle to chase them down in the desert."

"I just have to leave you alone and go first."

Running more ice ships that way, for a while.

Apparently the twins noticed something again.

"" Hmm?

"Now what? Mm, people."

What the Lions discovered was multiple figures moving across the sand and dust.

But because this is a difficult desert to walk in, its footsteps are heavy and it has stopped many times.

Some even fell on the sand.

"... you're going to die if you leave me alone"

"" "Ha, ha, ha..." "

Only the rough breathing noise was sounding.

I can no longer even afford to utter words as anyone else.

Intense heat shots illuminating from the sky and from the ground continued to take strength away from them.

I don't even have the strength to step on the sand.

"But come on, guys! I'm sure we're almost there... Huh!

Yes, it's the blonde young man who inspires us all.

But the usual freshness was lost so much that he was scratching waterfall-like sweat.

It is a lancelot of S-rank adventurers.

And it was a bunch of guys following him and carving footprints in the desert.

"To the kingdom of the beasts, you want to go!

"" "Whoa!

"Do you want to see Illis?"

"" "Whoa!

In response to Lancelot's call, the men answer with their fists up.

That's right.

It is they who are the elites of the Church of England - commonly known as the Church of England - launched by Lancelot.

When they found out that a line of Lions had left the Wang capital, they decided to follow England on a journey.

But of course I don't know where Iris is.

One of the faithful said he wondered what was going on.

"If you go to the Beast Nation, you might know something."

It was an even cheaper idea, because Illis is an animal man, but there's no other way to guess.

Lancelot immediately decided to head to the Land of the Beasts - no, the "Holy Land".

This, so to speak, is a pilgrimage to the Holy Land.

But it was this desert that stood before them like that.

Lancelot, of course, was also the adventurer for the majority of the elite of the Order, choosing the shortest route through the dangerous desert, but was forced to struggle unexpectedly.

... By the way, the three beautiful women have captured my affection and the party is breaking up.

"Nevertheless, I can't believe the desert has been this hard..."

Apparently he was watching the desert sweetly.

Fighting demons alone would not have stopped them, but the severity of the environment greatly exceeded expectations.

"Also, no more..."

One of my buddies finally reached his limit and fell over the sand.

"Oh, don't give up. No! There's a sanctuary ahead of us, huh?

"Put me down... go ahead..."

"Can you do that...... Huh! We have to get to the sanctuary together!

With their fallen companions, they moved forward desperately.

But it was becoming unclear that we were already moving in the right direction.

When more people fall, more burdens are placed on those who remain.

At last, even Lancelot reaches the limits of his health.

"Gosh... here I am... again... to Lord Illis..."

If you noticed, he was sticking his head in the sand.

In his hazy consciousness, he reaches out to squeeze his last force.

And that was then.

The hatefully lit sun shades blocked by something.

"Are you kidding?"

Was it a phantom that the extreme state showed?

"Iri... su... sa... ma..."

Looking up at the angel, Lancelot let go of consciousness.
