Desert Again

A portal opened in the middle of a vast desert.

This was the same place where Clyde had fought the second anomaly, alongside Leyan and Samuel. The land was still fractured, with chunks of sand and rock floating in the air, held aloft by an invisible force.

The remnants of the anomaly he had slain—the black substance and its strange energy—were now completely gone, as if they had evaporated after the true host had been destroyed.

Yet, according to Graemory, the black substance could still survive if infused with enough magic power. That meant the reason it had vanished here was likely due to the absence of any remaining energy to sustain it.

It was just another mystery—one more thing that left Clyde uneasy.

Shaking off the thought, he resumed his journey across this ruined world, searching for more monsters to hunt. He needed to kill as many as possible to gain Exp.
