The sound of yellow sand crushing the bones of the Beastmen echoed in the ears of the other Beastmen, as if a ferocious beast were gnawing on that Beastman.

They watched Duke, this bizarre enemy, feeling inexplicably alarmed by the yellow sand swirling around him.

The remaining two Beastmen felt a tinge of fear, but on this battlefield, they had no retreat.

The remaining two Beastmen continued to attack; one Beastman, while running, suddenly threw a grenade-like object, attempting to catch Duke off guard with a surprise attack.

Duke paid no mind to the opponent's sneak attack; a sand wall composed of yellow sand instantly took shape, withstanding the explosive energy impact and iron shrapnel.

At that moment, a cold arrow suddenly came from the rear diagonal, aiming directly at Duke's neck.

This angle was extremely tricky, located in Duke's blind spot, and it was shot in the instant of the explosion, masking the breaking-the-sky sound brought by the arrow.

On the battlefield, many people perish from such cold arrows, defenseless against them.

However, this tactic had no effect on Duke at all. He didn't even need to turn around as some yellow sand automatically appeared, blocking the cold arrow.

...

Duke realized that standing still, without moving, his proficiency with Sand Guardian was rapidly increasing.

Attacks from all directions continuously triggered Sand Guardian, helping him enhance his proficiency in Sand Guardian.

Sand Guardian provided Duke with a comprehensive, seamless defense and counterattack system; ordinary attacks couldn't break through this Talent Magic's defense.

Unless the enemy's attack speed could exceed the cohesion speed of Sand Guardian, or the attack strength could surpass the strength of Sand Guardian.

Otherwise, Duke merely stood there doing nothing, yet he was already in an undefeatable position.

Duke manipulated two ribbons made of yellow sand, strangling the necks of the two Beastmen beside him while walking forward, snapping their necks.

After he passed, the bodies of the two fallen Beastmen lay behind him.

In the plane war, killing enemies rewarded contribution points; the stronger the enemies killed, the more contribution points gained.

Black Sail has been monitoring and paying attention to the whole battlefield, recording how many enemies one has slain, so Wizards don't need to calculate themselves.

Even if there are errors, they usually aren't too significant unless the enemies were killed outside the battlefield requiring evidence to be provided.

Creatures below Level 1 generally contribute only a few points; a Level 1 life could contribute five hundred points, Level 2 life thousands of points, Level 3 life tens of thousands...

Duke wasn't choosy about picking Level 1 Beastmen, killing anyone nearby he could.

Although Level 1 life contributed more proficiency, it also came with higher risks.

On the battlefield, drawing too much attention could easily make one a target to be focused on.

Duke always remained restrained, never truly unleashing a massacre; otherwise, with sprawling yellow sand sweeping across the battlefield, he could crazily harvest lives.

If he did that, it would definitely arouse the Beastmen's focus, encountering significant resistance, or even possibly lead directly to his demise.

Duke wandered across the battlefield as if strolling in a courtyard, having not taken any substantial damage so far.

The magic within continually recovered under the effect of Earth Spring, keeping him in good condition.

Duke's appearance ultimately caught some Beastmen's attention; in the area of the battlefield where he appeared, Beastmen kept falling, making the slaves' attacks easier.

A Beastman wielding a giant warhammer soon appeared in front of Duke, being a Level 1 life Beastman, wielding the warhammer and staring closely at Duke.

This Beastman didn't utter a word, swinging the giant hammer directly with unmatched momentum and enormous power.

Large amounts of yellow sand instantly gathered in front of Duke, brutally blocking this heavy hammer blow.

The Beastman's eyes showed a trace of shock: these seemingly ordinary yellow sands actually possessed such high strength, and with his power, he couldn't penetrate even a thin layer of sand.

This was Duke using Golden Scale Celestial Iron to enhance the sand, and he had just infused magic power into it; ordinary strength couldn't possibly break through.

He didn't rush to attack but used this Beastman to test Sand Guardian's abilities.

The giant hammer Beastman then began an onslaught of storm-like attacks, a white light emanating from his body, each heavy hammer strike carrying immense power.

"Fighting Spirit?" Duke observed the white light on the Beastman, feeling the energy use was very similar to Fighting Spirit.

The giant hammer Beastman noticed Duke's relaxed expression, feeling somewhat irritated in his heart.

He felt like Duke was wrapped in a turtle shell, unable to break through this layer of defense.

From start to finish, Duke only consumed some magic power without any other loss and kept restoring magic power underfoot on the ground.

The giant hammer Beastman, however, continuously consumed the energy within during the attack process without many recovery means.

In this way, he was bound to be defeated.

In fact, the battle was over since the beginning; as long as the giant hammer Beastman couldn't break through Sand Guardian, Duke was in an unbeatable position.

After collecting enough data, Duke didn't delay any longer, with a thought, countless yellow sands spread over.

The giant hammer Beastman glanced around, trying to evade the yellow sand capture.

But the form of sand could change, transforming into countless yellow sands that couldn't be dodged at his speed.

Soon, a giant hand made of yellow sand grabbed the giant hammer Beastman, tightly wrapping and lifting him into the air.

The giant hammer Beastman's body was tremendously strong, quickly bursting out with formidable strength, seemingly about to break free from the binding sands.

But as Duke poured a large amount of magic power inside, coupled with more sand constantly sweeping over, layer after layer tightly wrapped the giant hammer Beastman, soon forming a cocoon made of yellow sand in the air.

Inside the cocoon, energy waves continuously erupted; it was the Beastman inside trying to break free from the sand's constraints.

However, by now, everything he did was futile. Duke's right hand clenched firmly, and the sand instantly tightened.

The Beastman inside the cocoon screamed instantly, trying his best to resist the sand's force, but all in vain.

As the bones in the arm shattered, he instantly crumbled like a mountain coming down, the giant hammer Beastman's defense broken, and his body strength momentarily lost balance, followed by fractures in bones all over his body.

Despite this, the Beastman still hadn't died; he was struggling, with bones in his arm broken and protruding, exposing the bleak white bones inside.
