In a library room full of old manuscripts, ancient records are neatly arranged. An old man (Lord Shutanhamun) stands while massaging the mane of hair on his beard.
The man looked at the magic glass ball, which monitored Sean's movements. The boy, he survived—make the man smile sumringah.
“The noble Lord the prince has completed his mission. Is the prince's task not yet completed?” ask Dewi Handita curious.
“There are still many things he needs to do. Three thousand years of war is coming soon. Except, the destroyers were wiped out before the war.”
“You mean ..?”
The old man turned his body. “Elius will stop at nothing to hunt down Lausius. He is not an enemy that is considered inferior. Moreover, Zumirh and Zurry as well as the demon god will also come in this battle. I'm sure they're working together again to get Lausius. That's why, I want this mission I'm carrying, it's very heavy.”
“So, you mean the great lord, the prince should be much stronger than those demons?” guess the Goddess Handita.
The old man nodded. “If he is weak, who will protect this Metis cloud?”
Goddess Handita nodded weakly, now she was beginning to understand the old man's intentions.
“I understand it,” he said understand. “But, there's one thing I want to know. How could the prince accept all the wishes of the great Lord. As far as I know, the prince is very stubborn. And ...”
“He understands himself enough. So it's not hard for me to persuade him.”
“Oh, so ..., the great lord did it?” guess Dewi Handita brags.
The old man nodded, his face very relaxed. Who would have thought, he was the man behind all this. The man who forced Sean to go on this mission.
“This is not cruel. But, a must.”

The road ahead, Driyad has been paced. Squinting his eyes, looking from afar at the mirage. They're going through an arid place, away from the shade. Driyad admitted that he hated every time he met with sand.
“Departments. We're going through it?”
“Is this the only way out of this valley?”
Sean asked back, when Driyad asked—which in a sense, this man asked for the opinion of Sean and his two colleagues. Then, Driyad nodded. “There is no other way, unless we return to the previous two-branched road. And ..., that's far enough if you have to go back on that route.”
“And that's the answer,” said Sean menukas.
Through the Desert? Crazy idea. Sean loves that road. He is unlikely to backtrack on his previous path, because for Sean he likes new adventures.
“Huh. I'm afraid my skin will burn if I cross this barren desert. Oh prince, you have troubled me again,” muttered Driyad quietly. He wishes, wishes in pity.
But, what power. Even Sean did not look at him in the slightest. The boy remained focused on his path, followed by his two friends who did not care about Driyad.
“They're good friends. I hope, the sky higher ups reply to their cold attitude on me.”
Seeing the three had already entered the Desert, Driyad ran after the three. He did not want to miss, for whatever sake Driyad wanted to stop complaining. But he had no power, or Sean would kick him out of the company.
“Crypto, isn't this place similar to the Medusa Desert?”
Sean glanced, with a cold look. The man replied, sprightly. “Only similar, and these two places have nothing to do at all.”
“You sure it is?” sahut Amuria said.
“Although I have never passed this place before, but I know a little.”
Amuria flicked her lips, weaving with a swab. “Oke, I get it. The best crypto among us,” said Amuria stopped acting.
Sean, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped. The three men behind him, came to a stop as his master put on a watchful eye.
“I feel, this is where the Desert monster is located. He sleeps near here.”
Sean's eyes glanced sharply, right left. The three of them were fixated, also starting to pay attention to the circumstances around.
“Is the prince again saying a mystery about this place?” driyad whispers to Amuria.
Amuria shrugged both of her shoulders. “We'll see later. Didn't Crypto say it, if the prince is full of secrets.”
“O ..., okay. I get it.”
There's no other reason for Driyad to doubt Sean. Except, he became the bully of his two colleagues.
“I feel the same with prince.” Crypto is moving forward, a step ahead of Sean.
The man lowered his head, took a pinch of sand and held it in his hand, smelling its scent. While the atmosphere around it, there were many rocks everywhere. The cliff, somewhat covering Sean from the hot sun. The atmosphere was silent, only the heat roared.
“If that's the right place to be, you need to be on standby. He may be much stronger than we thought,” Sean warned.
Amuria and Driyad nodded, understanding Sean's warning.
“Good prince. We understand,” replied Amuria while pulling out her sword.
“Let's go again. But keep a close eye on the road, always be on the lookout.”
Sean walked casually, he was not afraid. Just worried about the three men—what Sean is doing right now.
Just walking a few steps, now Sean sharpens his hearing. Sean's eardrum caught something sensitive, and this was the second time he had listened to this sound.
“What is the prince? Is the prince feeling anything?" ask Crypto to know.
“This rumble. Them ...”
Sean narrowed his eyes, as a lump of sand in front of him approached. Like a storm coming, the sand attacked. A high cloud of dust, Sean sensed their presence.
“He's coming!" pekik Sean.
Sean glanced at the three, they were ready with their respective swords. As the sand approached Sean and the three men's feet, Sean chose to fly. All three retreated, though almost the sand approached them.
“Prince is right, the sand devil knows where we are!” the word Amuria confirmed Sean's words.
“This is not the time to discuss. Get ready, the devil is definitely around here.”
Crypto interjected. He raised the burka on his face, covering half of his face leaving his eyes. The wings were already expanding, flying from above dodging the cloud of dust, the illusion of the sand creature.
Driyad looked at Amuria's face, the man then nodded. “This is not the time to be silent. Jump to a high place, currently save yourself each.”
Driyad understood it, swiftly he also flapped his wings. Without a second thought, Driyad chose to avoid the cloud of dust.
Sean flew over the cloud of clumping sand. While the three chose to stand on the cliffs.
“Prince, beware,” cried Amuria from across there.
Sean responded casually, looking cautiously. “This sand cloud is getting thicker. And ...”
When Sean was drawing conclusions, from the pool of concentrated dust appeared a creature that ....
“Is he the sand devil?” mumbling slowly.
A monstrous figure, like a soldier in armor. He roared, more familiar with monsters. It was just that, made of sand, making it look like a moving statue.
The three cliffs where Amuria, Crypto and Driyad stand. They throw each other a glance. A moment later ....
“It's time,” said Driyad in gesture.
The two men next to him nodded. A second later, the three of them flew up, acrobatic in the air.
“Hiya ...”
The sound of the screeching of Amuria, with the sword in hand, had already drawn out a body made entirely of sand. Sean's eyes glowed, signifying that Sean was extremely vigilant.
“Total this creature one, but ...”
“Amuria beware!”
Not long after Sean said slowly, guessing the other side of this sand demon, Driyad had already shouted. Throw Sean's mind out of nowhere.
Unfortunately the fast movement of Amuria had been read by the sand monster. And Sean recalled, the creature was far superior to the king of Mossarus. Lord Shutanhamun told Sean earlier.
“Oh, no!”
Sean, now he has to swallow bitter saliva. Amuria was hit by the monster. His body bounced, smashing into a hard stone wall.
Sean wants to capture amuria's body with his lightning speed, but dear. Sean, he's blocked. The creature turns out to be sensitive, knowing Sean's movements.
The sound of the bang was very loud. To make a crack in the surface of the rocks due to hit the back of Amuria.
Smelled by the sand dust, Sean could barely see the surroundings. If Sean had not dodged quickly, he might not have been able to dodge the sand demon's attack.
“You all right?" ask Driyad. He approached Amuria, the man was injured. Maybe his spine was broken.
“I'm fine, but prince ...”
“Take care of him, Driyad, let me attack this sand devil with the prince,” Crypto sahut fly low around the two.
Driyad nodded, he carried out the instructions from Crypto. Amuria is held in my arms by Driyad, and now Crypto's attention turns to the sand devil.
“Prince, let me attack him first!” Crypto took the initiative, and Sean agreed.
“She's strong. There must be one weakness he has. But what?”
Sean tried to guess. Time-stalling, Crypto is doing its job. While in the forest in the dark valley before, Sean had already put up a scheme.
Sean watched every move. And ....
“Is it possible he doesn't have a weakness?”
Maybe Sean wanted to give up guessing, but it didn't happen. It all depends on Sean. Now Sean's attention is drawn to Crypto, the man who is trying hard to distract the sand devil.
Crypto attacked from various directions, with his sword, every sand that moved with that heavy roar, he slashed down.
The sound of the sword fighting. Crypto managed to slash the feet, hands and waist of the sand devil. He fell, because he could not stand. His body was then crushed, lost, reuniting with the arid sand.
“Devil like you is this weak? Have I found a great opponent?”
Crypto, just this time he thought he was able to fight against the strongest enemies of the Lausius. Before, he had never felt that way, except just escorting. That's what he's been doing all along.
“Don't be happy first Crypto, behind you!” sean told me.
Crypto turned his head, thinking the destroyed body was extinct. But it was close, he ....
“Oh, Crypto, you ...”
Sean accelerates the flapping of his wings, with lightning power he attempts to save Crypto. The man was not alert, so he was hit by a huge hand attack of the sand demon.
“You're less alert!” sean on Crypto. Sean managed to get the man, before he hit the rock cliff, just like Amuria had experienced.
“Prince, I .., uhuk!”
In the air, Crypto spewed fresh blood from between his lips. He also held his chest, seemingly Crypto injured the inside.
Sean dropped the man off, right on Amuria's side.
“You stay here, let me handle it. Your injuries will be fatal if you force it to keep moving!”
“No prince. It's my job, let me handle it!”
Before Sean starts, Driyad interrupts. Without a second thought, waiting for Sean's approval, Driyad raised his sword. For a second, he was already in the air. Attack with its awesome power.
“Driyad, day ...”
Sean couldn't help it, the man was already wild with his wings. While the huge tall creature above, whose even shadow was about the same as the cloud shadow, he was blown away. The demon was very excited, with a thunderous voice.
“Haha ..., Driyad the lowly creature. You want to try playing around with me apparently.”
“Close your mouth lowly monster. You'll die in my hands!”
Driyad, he's on strike back, when the man wants to attack. Instead of him being able to handle it, it was Driyad who was overwhelmed.
Driyad was only able to avoid the big hands that were trying to grab it. Several times the sword was pulled over in the body of the giant, but it did not produce results—like the thing done by Crypto. Driyad had not managed to slash the sand-lined body, for some reason he looked invulnerable.
Even so, Driyad still had guts. He hasn't backed down even though Driyad knows he's going to lose.
“Is Driyad able to overcome the power of the sand devil. I think he's too weak, he'll get hurt if the prince doesn't help him.”
Crypto was quite worried about Driyad, asking Sean to immediately end the unbalanced fight.
“Alright, you and Amuria stay here. You guys restore each other's energy.”
Crypto nodded. And, the man was getting weaker. Leaning his back on the rocks, while holding his chest. Crypto felt he could no longer afford to survive. Not nearly dead, but weak.
Noticing Sean in action, Amuria and Crypto are grateful Sean can protect them. Instead of running errands, it was precisely those who troubled Sean.
In the air, Sean commemorates the Driyad
“Driyad, unveil!” shouts Sean tells.
But unfortunately, Driyad did not realize his body had been hit by the attack. Making it thrown on the rocks, repeating what Amuria experienced.
“Quickly!”
Again, Sean was confused about this. Back, the rock cliffs received soft prey.
Sean just looked over, watching the body that fell weak. Afterwards, Sean's attention was peppered to the demon monster.
“Haha ..., Again Lausius. The news of his birth has spread. I almost missed this important news.”
Sean pulled out his sword, brandished, forcing Sean furious. “I came here to kill you. You must be ruined!”
“Who said I would die in the hands of Lausius?”
“You don't need to know that. Of course, today is what you have done. Destructive and so on, will pay off with your death in my hands!”
“Haha. You trying to provoke me?”
Sean shook his head slowly. “This is your end of the sand devil.”
Sean attacked first. The sand monster grinned behind that sand face.
Suddenly in his hands, came out a huge sword. The one might be ten times the size of Sean's body.
“Then, you also have to pay for your death.”
The sand demon flicked his sword, Sean managed to dodge the attack. Sean flew behind the demon's neck, but he managed to figure out the boy's whereabouts.
“Hiya ...”
When Sean wants to hit the nape of the neck of the sand demon, the monster's great sword dispels Sean.
Sean's sword fight and the monster's sword, happened to cause small sparks.
Sean twisted his body, climbed the sword, walked over it. Sean walked quickly, flying up to the head of the sand demon.
Sean hit the head of the monster covered in head protection. There was a rift there, but it did not make the demon monster waver.
“You're agile as well apparently. But it won't be long, you'll die Lausius!”
The huge voice of the demon monster looked fierce. He turned his body, looking for where Sean was. Sean's on the cliff. He finds Sean, with his greatsword quickly slamming into the cliff, where Sean stands.
There, the cliff that was high as the chest of the monster, split into two. So terrible was the blow, that it made anyone would be horrified to see it.
As fast as lightning Sean switched his foothold. Sean shrewdly dodged every attack of the monster. And suddenly he was already on the shoulders of the sand demon.
“You ..., enough already you've made me angry. You must die!”
“Do if it can!”
The sand demon slammed his sword on the shoulder where Sean was standing, Sean dodged.
Unfortunately, Sean was not injured, just next to the creature's shoulder was cut off by his own sword.
“Akh ..., You ...,”
“That was you. Then, I will end your domination of chaos. You must disappear now!”
Sean flew right in front of the sand devil. The powerful monster sobbed in pain.
“You ..., akh. I'll kill you little Lausius.”
While roaring in pain, the sand demon tried to keep attacking Sean. Even with just one arm, he tried hard.
“Do whatever you want. But, you should know, you're going to die now!”
While dodging the attack from the sand demon, Sean was somewhat satisfied.
The sand demon was less agile, it was difficult to catch the child. Unlike before, now the movement of the devil is limited.
“You ..., you cheated apparently. You ...,”
“Save your frustration. Prepare to die. Hiya ...”
Flapping Sean's wings, from above was already positioning himself. Sean's great sword was ready to draw out the monster's head.
Within seconds ....
THE SRAK!!
Sean set his foot on the sand, when he managed to split the two parts of the sand demon. With his greatsword, it forced the two bodies to split evenly.
Forming a perfect part, the body of the sand demon split into two main parts. Then it disintegrated, fusing into sand again. Back to its original shape.
“Prince!”
[“Don't forget to give a lot of likes yes. Or leave a review of this novel. I'm very happy if you guys would like to give criticism and advice to Sean.”]
