The desert fell silent. Not because there were no monsters. But because everything had fled.
The scorching wind swept across the endless dunes, carrying countless grains of sand through the air. Even the sounds of insects had disappeared, leaving behind only an oppressive silence that made the entire region feel abandoned.
Reiji stood motionless.
His crimson eyes remained fixed on the massive wall of sand slowly approaching from the horizon.
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
Each step shook the desert.
The vibrations grew stronger every second, causing the sand beneath his boots to ripple like water.
"So this is the Boss..."
Reiji slowly exhaled.
His expression wasn't fearful. It was serious.
The monsters he had fought until now had all been powerful in their own ways, but this...
This was different.
