章 163: Mental Liberation

Screee!

The party covered their ears as the Mother Worm released an ear-piercing shriek. The soundwaves sent sand flying in every direction. The force of the billowing sands was akin to a forming sandstorm.

"Why is its screech so powerful?!" Ezra shouted over the noise.

"Huh?!" 

The entire party struggled to understand what she was saying. So she leaned close to Kieran and spoke next to his ear. This action made a sweet breath waft past his nose while tickling his ear.

"I said—why is its screech so powerful?"

"Oh! It's most likely a high-level boss!" Kieran responded.

The screeching stopped a few moments later, but an enormous sand eruption followed as the 20-meter-long Mother Worm reappeared. Compared to their first run-in with this beast, the Mother Worm's current appearance differed significantly.
