Versatile Mage: Get the Desert Emperor clone at the start

Chapter 98 Reinforcements from the Abyss - World Devouring Beast King
As the lord and emperor of Lake Victoria and the southern Nile River, the Crystal Python King is more powerful than the Desert Crocodile Lord Shakti.

Moreover, this place is out of the desert area, which is also a restriction for desert crocodiles.

Facing the fatal attack from the Crystal Python King, it tried its best to dodge sideways.

"puff!"

Blood splattered.

Although it avoided the throat, the Crystal Python King's fangs still pierced deeply into Shakti's shoulder blade.

Dark blue crystals rushed into the wound like living things.

Under Shakti's bronze scales, countless sharp crystal clusters can be seen growing wildly in its flesh and blood, cutting its muscle fibers one by one.

"Roar--!"

Shakti roared in pain.

The sun god pattern on its body flashed wildly, trying to melt the alien crystals in its body.

But how could the Crystal Python King give it a chance to breathe? Six poisonous tail stingers shot out simultaneously, like six scythes of death, piercing its eyes, throat, heart and other fatal parts!

At the critical moment, the sky suddenly changed.

The sun disk in the sky suddenly burst out with a dazzling golden light, a beam of light broke through the clouds and a golden rune was accurately poured into Shakti's crown.

Then, golden blood like lava suddenly gushed out of its wound, and the crystal clusters that had invaded its body were slowly forced out.

"What is this.?!" The Crystal Python Emperor was filled with shock and anger, staring at the sun disk in the sky.

If it weren't for the interference of this thing, Shakti would have collapsed long ago.

"Don't give it a chance to recover!" At this moment, a roar from the Crystal Python King was heard.

The ground beneath Shakti's feet suddenly gave way.

Two huge gray claws broke out of the ground. The exposed claw tips alone were as big as small mountains, and the surface was covered with layers of horny scales. Then they tightly grasped Shakti's body.

It turns out that the Crystal Python Emperor had also ambushed secret troops.

"Die!" The crystal crown atop the Crystal Python Emperor's head shone brightly, and all its tail spines simultaneously emitted a destructive blue light. If this attack hit, the Desert Emperor would be severely injured.

Just when the blue light was about to penetrate his body, something strange happened!

Behind the vortex that was constantly spewing sand soldiers, there was a loud explosion, and golden sand rained down from the sky. In the center of the flying sand, a towering figure condensed and rose up.

Every grain of sand is jumping for joy, it is the Emperor of Quicksand.

His body is made up of billions of tiny particles that are difficult to see with the naked eye. Each particle of dust vibrates at a unique frequency, reflecting an unpredictable halo in the sunlight.

Its existence seems like a real entity, but it also seems like just an illusion condensed from the sea of ​​sand.

He gently raised his right arm, and the space three inches in front of his palm suddenly twisted. Countless microscopic sand grains that were difficult to see with the naked eye were arranged in some mysterious trajectory, forming a "dust mirror shield".

The moment the deadly blue light hit the mirror shield, a jaw-dropping phenomenon occurred: the crystalline toxins contained in the beam were filtered by the sand layer by layer and condensed into blue ice flowers on the mirror surface; the pure kinetic energy was converted into millions of microscopic vibrations and transmitted to the earth through the special arrangement between the sand grains.

The remaining energy was actually reflected back, leaving a bloody mark on the Crystal Python King's cheek!
The Crystal Python Emperor's pupils suddenly narrowed to a thin line, a rare look of shock in their eyes. Its massive body tilted back slightly, its blue diamond-like scales erected with a piercing sound. "What a surprise." Its voice suddenly became unusually low and cautious. "Lord Quicksand, I didn't expect even an old stubborn like you would take action." It was clear that he knew the Lord Quicksand and knew that he was a formidable opponent.

The Emperor of Quicksand said proudly, "Now that I'm here, you don't stand a chance."

However, although he stopped the Crystal Python King, the giant claws that were tightly gripping Shakti's body exerted force, and the tips of the claws pierced into the gaps in the scales, revealing a strange black thread.

These black threads are not physical entities, but the embodiment of a curse—each thread is translucent and dark, with fine lines floating on the surface.

"Sizzle"

When the black silk touched the wound, Shakti's lava-like golden blood began to rot and change color. Even more terrifying, these cursed threads could actually erode along the veins of the Sun God Mark:

Initially, only gray spots appeared on the edges of the wound, but soon these spots connected into spider-web-like black lines, madly devouring the healing energy infused by the sun disk;
Finally, even the newly grown flesh and blood began to mutate, taking on a disgusting purple-black crystalline state!
"Roar--!"

Shakti struggled in agony, the golden light cast by the sun disc and the two strange forces raging within him forming a terrifying tug-of-war:
Wherever the golden light passes, the crystal clusters temporarily stop growing, the black threads retreat, and the wounds begin to heal slowly; but after the golden light passes, these two forces will immediately counterattack.

Shakti's body was tortured in great pain.

Upon seeing this, Emperor Liusha formed a seal with his left hand and drew a perfect circle in the air with his index finger.

This simple action instantly caused a sudden change in the world——

The dry riverbed suddenly collapsed, and countless golden sands gushed out from the depths of the earth, condensing into a "Yellow Spring Sand Vortex" in the air. The sand vortex flowed counterclockwise, and at the core was an absolute vacuum, even light was distorted and swallowed up!

He then threw the vortex of sand in the direction of Shaak Ti, heading straight for the two giant claws.

"Click, click"

Faced with the strangulation of this force, the giant claw had no choice but to let go.

Immediately afterwards, the earth shook violently, and a huge gray monster emerged from the ground.

The skin of this giant beast was a dead lead gray, covered with honeycomb-shaped holes, and each hole was spewing dark black silk threads.

It resembles an ancient Behemoth, but has three pairs of deformed wings. The left wing is covered with crystallized scales, while the right wing is covered with rotten flesh membranes. The wing bones are widely spaced, and the wings look very inconsistent with its body shape.

It is hard to imagine whether it can fly with such wings.

The most terrifying thing is its head, with nine compound eyes arranged on the top, each pupil presenting a different distorted shape, and a mouth divided into four petals, with seven layers of spiral sharp teeth inside.

It is the demonic beast king in the East African Rift Valley. This time, it has come to assist the Crystal Python King under the orders of the Lord of the Abyss to see if there is a chance to kill the Desert Crocodile Lord.

The Shurima Empire went to war with their four major demon tribes at the same time, dividing its troops into four groups and dispersing its strength.

So they wanted to take the initiative to attack and destroy one of the groups, but they didn't expect that behind the Desert Crocodile there was an old emperor, the Quicksand Emperor.

However, the Crystal Python Emperor did not give up. He said to the monster in the East African Rift Valley, "I will hold back the Quicksand Emperor. Shaak Ti is already at the end of his strength. Kill him."

The World-Devouring Beast King let out a strange scream like a baby crying, and its three pairs of deformed dragon wings fully unfolded.

The mouthparts with seven layers of spiral sharp teeth opened wide and pounced towards Shakti who was detoxifying and healing his wounds.
