The sandstorm vortex spun rapidly, condensing and forming, emitting a deep and dense metallic friction sound.
In an instant, three tall, heavy figures, their bodies shimmering with a dark metallic luster, surrounded Duke like the most loyal guardians.
They were nearly three meters tall, with outlines similar to humans but bulkier, featuring intricate layered joints and eye sockets burning with cold dark gold flames on their heads.
Though they hadn't formed weapons yet, their massive fists made of countless compressed metal sand grains were terrifying heavy blunt weapons in themselves.
The Sand Servant at the front, facing the direction of the incoming spear, reacted with astonishing speed.
It seemed to have a premonition of danger, and the moment it took shape, it lowered its center of gravity and boldly thrust its crossed arms forward.
The enormous dark gold arms, like two tower shields brought together, blocked the inevitable path of the moonlight spear.
"Boom——!!!"
