บท 446: CH446: BEAST HUNTING; SOMETHING WENT WRONG?

The Seniors moved like a coordinated unit, each one taking their positions around the massive King-Tier Sand Crawler as the Juniors watched and learned.

Zane darted ahead, his hands glowing with icy energy that began to form jagged spears of ice in the dry desert air. Nova, a Fire Subsidiary Mutant flanked left, her pyrokinetic flames flickering to life as she prepared to create enough light to distract the beast. Meanwhile, Zara and Lyra brought up the rear, focusing on supporting the team with precision strikes and keeping an eye on the Juniors.

But even with all their coordination, the Sand Worm was no ordinary beast. The beast reacted swiftly, its colossal body banging the sand, sending tremors that rippled through the desert surface like shockwaves. The Juniors stumbled, barely keeping their footing as the vehicles behind them rattled dangerously.
