Destroying My Own World

Chapter 40: Chapter 40: Similar.

"Jeanne!" Aurea shouted as she stuck her sword on the giant Sandworm's body and offered her hand at Jeanne who was on the ground.

Jeanne jumped as high as she could and grabbed Aurea's hand. She stabbed her sword at the Sandworm's body, but it wasn't deep enough because it was thicker than the previous one. She used more force and managed to pierce the skin deep enough.

"We can't cut this thing open like last time! We need a better weapon for this!" Jeanne shouted as she looked down at Aurea because it was so loud around them. "There's a dagger artifact, right? Did Lillith take it?" Jeanne asked.

"Yeah! This is why I'm doing this!" Aurea answered.

Aurea grabbed Lillith's hand and tossed her up to where Jeanne was, and then Jeanne tossed her up to the Sandworm's back. Lillith stabbed the dagger made of stone into the Sandworm's skin and it was easy as cutting a piece of paper. She looked at Jeanne and Aurea hanging on the side, and then she looked at the Sandworm that slithered on the sand trying to eat Sven and the others.

"She got it, and she knows what to do!" Aurea nodded her head. "I guess we're useless here..." Aurea said to herself and looked at the ground which was twenty meters away from where she was.

"Lilly! Can you do it on your own?" Jeanne asked as she looked up.

"Yeah! Leave this one to me!" Lillith answered as she nodded her head.

Jeanne looked down at Aurea and then nodded her head. They both jumped down from the Sandworm's body and roughly landed on the sand. They both immediately rolled over because they didn't want to get crushed on the Sandworm's body.

Lillith cut the Sandworm open that slowly became bigger and bigger, but suddenly the Sandworm stopped chasing Sven and the others. The Sandworm slowly lifted its upper body up and made Lillith slide down but she immediately stuck the dagger in the skin.

Jeanne and Aurea waved their arms at Lillith as if they were signaling something to her. But because of how far she was and how loud her surroundings were, she didn't know what they were trying to tell her. Suddenly, the Sandworm screeched and pointed its head down into the sand.

The Sandworm was about to dive into the sand again because it knew there was someone on its back that had been cutting its back. Lillith realized why Jeanne and Aurea were waving their arms at her, they were telling her to jump off because the Sandworm was about to enter the sand. It would kill her if she stayed on its back, but she didn't want to let go and decided to do something crazy.

"I really don't want to do this..." Lillith sighed and then stabbed the dagger as deep as she could and tried to create an opening for her to enter the Sandworm's body. "How thick is your skin?! Just let me in already!" Lillith kept stabbing and cutting the flesh underneath the thick skin of the Sandworm.

"What's she trying to do?! She doesn't have much time left or she will get sucked into the sand!" Aurea asked as she stared at Lillith.

"She's going to hide inside the Sandworm's body..." Jeanne answered.

The Sandworm started to burrow its head into the sand and then the upper half of the Sandworm's body was already inside the sand. They couldn't see Lillith and hoped that she was safe because if she didn't make it inside in time, she would get crushed by the pressure.

"Jeanne! Aurea! There are more of them coming this way! Be careful!" Enma shouted in the distance.

Jeanne and Aurea turned around and saw dozens of Sandworms swimming underneath the sand. The Sandworms were coming toward them really fast, and they were all surrounded by them.

"Dad, can you look over me?" Elena asked as she looked at her right fist.

Mykel was surprised when Elena decided to call him dad rather than calling him father. It felt weird but somehow made him a bit happy.

"I'll always protect you. Go," Mykel said as he nodded his head.

Elena turned around and looked at the Sandworm that came to the surface. The Sandworm was flying down toward her with its mouth wide open. She took a deep breath as she clenched her fist, she then jumped high enough that the Sandworm's mouth couldn't reach her.

Elena glared at the Sandworm's ugly head and punched the head with all her might. The Sandworm's head hit the sand so hard that it got stunned for a moment. She then landed right on top of its head and punched it over and over until her hands bled.

Elena was relieved when her fists were enough to tear the Sandworm's skin and break its skull. Suddenly another Sandworm came out to the surface from her right side and was ready to swallow her. She jumped away and the Sandworm ended up pouncing on the Sandworm's body that Elena had beaten up.

Elena landed on the edge of the Sandworm's mouth and immediately dashed forward as she watched the other Sandworm try to free itself. The moment the Sandworm freed itself, she jumped and threw a sidekick at the Sandworm's head.

The Sandworm got knocked away, and as soon as Elena landed, she tried to catch up to it. She jumped again and this time she kneed the Sandworm's head before it touched the ground. She heard a loud cracking sound, and she thought she broke her knee, but it was coming from the Sandworm's body.

Elena looked at the Sandworm and wiggled as if it was in pain, but then it suddenly stopped moving. She didn't believe that she had killed it, but if she was indeed killed by it, she might now see the weaknesses of the Sandworm. She then turned around and looked at the other Sandworm and decided to test it out.

She ran back to the Sandworm's head when it tried to lift its head up. She looked at the area below its head and jumped as she clenched her right fist. She punched the Sandworm so hard that she heard the same cracking sound coming from it.

The Sandworm wiggled its head and hit Elena who was still in mid-air. She landed right in front of Mykel and she watched the Sandworm make the same reaction as the previous one.

"I think the bone below its mouth is important to them. Just like a human neck," Elena said as she looked at the Sandworm.

"Nobody can break their bone like you did, Elena. They're not strong enough and neither are their weapons," Mykel replied as he looked back and watched everyone fight dozens of Sandworms. "Since you can do it on your own, it's time for you to help them," Mykel said.

Elena joined the others and told them about the Sandworm's weakness. After they knew which spot to attack, everything became a lot easier for them, but then the giant one resurfaced again.

The giant Sandworm looked in pain as it wiggled its body and looked like it was trying to get rid of something. They all watched it as they fought the smaller ones since they didn't want to accidentally get hit by the giant one.

Mykel looked at the giant Sandworm and tried to test it out on it. He jumped from the top of the dune and kicked the giant Sandworm in the neck. Everyone could hear the loud cracking sound and the giant Sandworm collapsed to the ground. It didn't wiggle like the other ones and instantly died after he broke the bone.

Seeing that the giant Sandworm was dead, the other Sandworms burrowed into the sand and left. Everyone could sigh in relief, but then they remembered that Lillith was still inside the Sandworm's body.

They looked at where Lillith cut the Sandworm's body and when they found it, Mykel entered the hole that was covered in sand. He ripped the hole wider because he was a bit concerned that Lillith might be buried inside and suffocated herself since she was in there for quite a while.

Mykel came out with Lillith on his back, and she was unconscious but she was still breathing. Not long after he brought Lillith back, the giant Sandworm's body started to decay rapidly. They watched the giant body melt and leave nothing but bones, but then they saw something familiar.

"The circle and the symbols. Why have they appeared from that thing?" Rozan asked.

"Looks like it will create another portal and will lead us somewhere else. It has a similar mechanic as in the novel, so the next place should be more difficult than this one," Mykel answered as he kept carrying Lillith on his back which made Elena a bit jealous.

"So basically the more portals we enter from now on, the deeper we are to hell?" Jeanne asked.

"I believe so," Mykel nodded his head. "Anyway, since the portal won't appear anytime soon and I believe you guys aren't qualified to enter the next place, why don't you guys hunt more this thing and increase your level?" Mykel asked as he looked at everyone.

"Yeah, that's a good idea. My level increased by two levels from killing a few of them. We can use this place as our new hunting ground," Aurea nodded in agreement.

"Alright, let's stay here for three days. Make every second count," Mykel said.

All of them nodded their heads with understanding and went their separate ways since they knew how to kill the Sandworms.
