Kyle walked down the hill as he kept an eye on the distant worms.
After moving around for a while, he noticed that there were actually quite a few of them.
"Wonder how this guy procreates," he mused.
"It doesn't," Selene answered as she followed Kyle on Skweera. "It just makes copies of itself."
"It clones itself?" Kyle asked.
"I'm unfamiliar with that word," Selene answered. "What does it mean?"
"It means it makes copies of itself," Kyle answered as he looked around.
Selene grew a bit annoyed. Why didn't the guy just talk like a normal person and say that it makes copies of itself?
Of course, Selene wasn't actually annoyed because of Kyle's word choice but because of his constant lying.
The little incident with the word was just an outlet for her frustration.
Kyle kept going back and forth in confusing paths.
Obviously, he had no idea where he was going.
Selene really wanted to call him out for wasting her time, but she wanted to give Kyle a chance.
She didn't believe it, but maybe, just maybe, he actually knew what he was doing.
"Almost there," Kyle said. "Wait, never mind. We still have a bit to go."
Selene just snorted.
Suddenly, Kyle stopped walking.
"Why did you stop? I thought we still had a bit to go," Selene asked with an even voice.
"We do, but there's an Initial Ferocious Beast specimen in our way," Kyle said. "I am going to distract it, and you hit it, okay?"
Selene just looked at Kyle silently for a while.
"Sure," she eventually answered.
The next moment, Kyle lifted his hammer and struck the ground in front of him.
Nothing happened.
Then, he hit the ground again.
Nothing happened.
Selene just watched as Kyle kept creating small craters in the sand.
"Stay here," Kyle said as he slowly and carefully stepped forward.
Then, he hit the ground again.
"Come on!" he shouted. "I know you're in there! Hurry up! I have places to be!"
For over 30 seconds, Selene just watched Kyle hitting the ground in random places.
He obviously had no idea what he was doing, and Selene suffered from second-hand embarrassment.
"Oh, you wanna play this game, eh?!" Kyle shouted in frustration. "Fine! Then, I will come to you!"
Then, Kyle's swings changed, and he started to swing in only one direction, throwing sand behind him.
Selene held her forehead with one of her hands in exhaustion.
"Get out!" Kyle shouted through exhausted breaths.
He had been hitting the ground for minutes by now, and he had used quite a bit of Ether.
"Can you stop with this play?" Selene asked as she ran out of patience. "This is becoming sad."
Kyle didn't answer and kept digging into the ground.
"There's no beast there," Selene shouted. "Why can't you just admit-"
"Oh Lord, he comin!" Kyle shouted as he suddenly jumped out of the hole.
Selene groaned.
But then, she felt the ground shaking, and her eyes widened.
BOOOOOM!
A gigantic worm shot out of the ground, enveloping the entire hole Kyle had created within the last minutes.
As expected of a Colossus, this thing was big!
Its maw was probably five meters wide, and the thing itself was around 50 meters long!
The worm stretched over ten meters into the sky before it curved and rammed back into the ground.
