1583 The Desert King

A Desert King! What the heck kind of name is that for an enormously titanic Antlion? If it wasn't because it is overpowered, he would already have become a fried shrimp!
…However, certainly, the thing was powerful. The moment it appeared, it generated a gigantic domain of sorts, which allowed it to manipulate gravity and pull us towards its enormous jaws.
"What the heck is a Desert King?!" I asked Luminous as we resisted being sucked into the monster's mouth.
"It is an enormous Antlion Monster that has lived for a thousand years! They continuously molt over time until they become gigantic. They're good with Gravity Magic as well, and more than capable of eating anything they want at S Rank in power!"
"S Rank?!" I asked in shock.
Not even I have fought an S-Rank Monster in this world yet. It was such a pain we were getting paired with such a beast right after I summoned Bubu from all things! We haven't found a single big monster for him to level up, and fighting this thing seems overly complicated.
"GRUOOOOHHHHH!!!"
The Desert King roared once more, shaking the sands around itself. The Domain of Gravity intensified, but not only that, as it quickly attempted to manipulate the sand, creating enormous tentacles with it, and then trying to catch us with it! So it was even proficient at Earth Magic…
"Shit, shit, shit! How can we even defeat this thing?!" Cried Elfina, completely forgetting she was a Princess!
"Uwawawaahhhh!" Fiere was just as horrified, crying desperately.
"D-Damn it…! Kireina, we have to do something!" Said Sol.
CLAAASH!
Suddenly, its enormous Sand-made tentacles tried to catch us, but I quickly intercepted it with three enormous Claws of Demise, my current limit of summoning!
"GRUOOH!"
The beast was persistent, quickly fighting with more sand. Some suddenly began heating up until they turned into sharp glass crystals and were fired at us by the hundreds!
"G-Glass?!" Asked Luminous. "M-Mere glass can't pierce through my scales!" He said half-heartedly, as he tried to shield us from the glass but it easily went through some of his weaker scales and began to make him bleed everywhere.
"Ugh…"
"Idiot, stop that and just make a barrier!" I said. "White!"
"Got it!" White quickly conjured her Domain of Healing as we were able to shape it into a barrier as I merged it with the Divine Authority of Humility by spending a ton of Mana.
The beast was too strong for us to defeat it right now though, its power was vastly superior to all of us, fighting it seemed futile as Sol had been firing flames at it and it seemed completely unfazed, and I've recently begun firing Chaotic beams but it was also rather useless.
This is truly an S-Rank Monster. I had already considered the possibility that this world's power levels are way out of the place, and it seems that compared to Genesis, Runeterra is really an incredibly strong world. This beast alone could easily crush Divine Beast at the Pseudo Venerable level! S Rank Monsters are truly in another world altogether in levels of overpowered strength in this world!
"GRUOOOHH!"
TRUUUUUMMMM…!
Suddenly, as if the monster was bored of my monologue, it shook the sands once more and then the entire desert around us shapeshifted into a domain of its, countless piercing spears made of reinforced glass tried to pierce us, as I created barriers with the help of my Divine Authority of Humility, while Luminous used his Barrier magic to reinforce them.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
Shit, things are getting out of control, we have to retreat as fast as we can.
Without thinking it twice, I decided to bombard the creature with my strongest Spell so far.
"[Blazing Meteor] + [Soul Eater] + [Soul Manipulation] + [Divine Authority: Gluttony] + [Divine Authority: Primordial Chaos]!"
I combined the power of [Blazing Meteor] with the Skills capable of touching and hurting souls, coupled with the ability to devour anything and then the overpowered strength of the primordial chaos. With all of that together, a gigantic rain of black meteors enveloped in phantasmal essence, divine power, and the overpowering might of Primordial Chaos began falling over the open jaws of the Desert King.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
My MP quickly began to deplete to almost zero as I absorbed the enormous Desert King's Mana in the process of fighting against him. I also had many Mana Potions saved in the Inventory, but I really didn't wanted to use them yet!
"GRUUOOOHHH…!"
The monster was actually tanking the Blazing Meteors and even the chaos wasn't working properly to damage its hard carapace, this thing was beyond our scope. However! It was still working at distracting it and putting it out of its concentration, good enough for me to shapeshift my butterfly wings into the [Abyssal Demon Fragment: Primordial Chaos Wings: Lv1], grab everybody with my Phantasmal Aura, and set off into the skies as fast as possible while the Desert King's Gravity Domain was weakened.
FLAAAASH!
"We are getting out of here! I know it is cowardly, but that thing is tanking my strongest spells, there's no way I'll risk my Ego Weapons into fighting that!" I said, flying away as fast as possible.
"GRUOOHHH!"
However, the bastard noticed our tactical retreat, immediately conjuring a strong Gravity Attribute Spell and firing it as an invisible ray against us. The powerful ray reached us in a mere instant, less than five seconds. I wasn't able to dodge it.
BOOOOMMM!!!
I suddenly felt my entire body losing its control over itself, as I saw the endless sands engulfing me and everybody else. I grabbed them all tightly with my very soul, as we ended falling into the endless sea of sand, as the turbulent sands engulfed us and the roar of the Desert King could be heard from the distance.
In that instant, I suddenly lost my consciousness, as my MP was way too low to keep up with all of this ridiculousness anymore…
