An hour later,
Luke carried Kelly ashore to rest.
Annabeth knew what had happened, but she was also shaken by Luke's overwhelming strength.
To last that long in the sea and even outperform Kelly—That level of stamina was inhuman.
The only pity was that she still couldn't be sure whether Luke was also a demigod like herself.
When she heard Yulinka mention that they were heading to Jurassic Park next, Annabeth immediately suggested traveling together.
Naturally, the reason was to look after her best friend Kelly.
Luke, of course, didn't refuse Annabeth's request.
He also wanted to take this opportunity to better understand the current state of the Greek gods.
"Let's go. We'll head back and change first."
Luke carried the limp Kelly on his back and returned to the changing rooms with the girls.
Once they reached the shore, everyone realized that only their group remained on the nearby beach.
The ground was strewn with discarded clothes and trash.
They even saw severed limbs and large amounts of blood in the area where the outdoor party had been held.
Clearly, a horrifying carnage had erupted here.
And not far away, lay two sharks about five meters long.
They didn't have multiple heads. Their skin was dark and extremely rough.
[Anomaly Object discovered: Prehistoric Sand Shark. Gained 100 Anomaly Points. Current Anomaly Points: 3800.]
Prehistoric Sand Shark? What the hell is that?
Luke was confused. Sand sharks did exist, but weren't they just ordinary sharks?
And they counted as Anomaly Objects too?
Wait.
Luke noticed something strange. Certain areas of the sandy ground were unusually soft, and faint sand holes could be seen.
"Did these Prehistoric Sand Sharks come out of those holes? Can they swim through sand?"
It sounded ridiculous, but the more he thought about it, the more certain Luke became.
Given how abnormal this world already was, the appearance of sharks that could move through sand didn't seem that unreasonable.
Who knew—maybe one day he'd even see sharks flying through the sky.
"Be careful where you step. If I'm not mistaken, these sharks can move through the beach sand."
After Luke voiced his speculation, everyone else found it hard to believe.
Rose felt her worldview being challenged. If the person saying this hadn't been Luke, she would have thought he was insane.
"Be careful, they're coming!"
From his 3D holographic view, Luke saw dozens of red dots rapidly approaching.
Yet there were no visible creatures on the surface.
Rose instinctively hugged Sharon, scanning their surroundings anxiously.
Annabeth also stepped forward, shielding Emma and Yulinka behind her.
Although she was only a descendant of a demigod's lineage and carried just a thin trace of Athena's bloodline, she still possessed strength far beyond that of ordinary people.
Even against a Great White Shark, she had the ability to face it head-on.
"There really are sharks there!"
Sharon pointed to the right, where shark fins were emerging one after another from the sand.
They moved through the beach as fluidly as they would through water, as if burrowing were an instinctive ability.
Luke frowned, condensed the power of his energy, and poured it into the ground.
Violent energy surged through the earth like rolling waves, advancing layer after layer.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
When the energy touched the Sand Sharks, it erupted instantly, shattering all the enemies hidden beneath the sea of sand and forming a dazzling white pillar of spiritual energy streaked with blood!
This was merely a basic application of energy called 'Qi' from The King of Fighters.
Although Sand Sharks possessed the special ability of sand evasion, their physical strength was only slightly greater than that of ordinary Great White Sharks.
Ordinary bullets would have difficulty killing them unless a vital point was hit.
But in the face of such violent spiritual energy, they were torn apart like paper.
Rose quickly covered Sharon's eyes.
She stared at the pillar of spiritual energy in shock, then looked at Luke, whose expression hadn't changed at all.
She couldn't help wondering what he was thinking.
Annabeth was equally astonished.
Her mind raced through every god or monster she knew that was associated with deserts or pillars of spiritual power.
Luke paid no attention to the looks in their eyes. He condensed even more spiritual energy and poured it into the ground.
The sand beneath their feet seemed to be lifted by some terrifying colossal creature, forming rolling sand waves that surged outward in all directions.
Explosions echoed endlessly between heaven and earth, and the Sand Sharks were blasted apart into bloody fragments that flew everywhere.
In just a few dozen seconds, the area within several hundred meters had been completely reduced to chaos.
Blood and flesh mixed with the sand, forming a shark-infested purgatory.
Luke waited a moment, then looked in a certain direction.
"Let's go this way."
Rose and Annabeth quickly followed.
They were afraid that another terrifying Sand Shark might burst out of the sea of sand at any moment.
...
Meanwhile, on a rocky cliff a thousand meters away,
Davis and Brody, along with a group of people, were huddled together in terror on the steep rocks.
Everyone looked around fearfully, as if man-eating monsters were hiding beneath the seemingly empty sand.
"Everyone be careful. Don't get close to the sand! And don't get too close to the cliff!"
Davis was no longer holding a pistol, but an axe stained with blood.
Just moments earlier, he had personally chopped off one of the heads of the Six- or Seven-Headed Shark. Just as he was about to press the attack and finish it off, the true disaster arrived.
Sharks leapt out of the sand sea and, right in front of them, swiftly devoured the badly wounded Seven-Headed Shark that was bleeding all over the ground, tearing into it bite after bite.
The sight completely overturned Davis's understanding of the biological world—Darwin's coffin lid might as well have been flying open.
After the Sand Sharks finished devouring the multi-headed shark, they charged straight toward the crowd.
Davis had used up all his bullets, managing to kill only two Sand Sharks, and could do nothing but fight while retreating.
The open-air party had originally had more than two hundred people.
After being chased by the Fatal Seven-Headed Shark and then the Sand Sharks, more than half of them were completely buried beneath the sea of sand.
In the end, the survivors barely managed to hide along the rock face.
Fortunately, Sand Sharks couldn't swim among the rocks.
But unfortunately—
"Oh my God! That's the Fatal Six-Headed Shark!"
Someone in the crowd cried out in despair, triggering even more screams.
