I managed to damage the Giant Devouring Sandworm but because of its thick plated armor on its body, it's hard to actually deal damage against it. It is also frustrating that the abilities of the Versatile Weapon that can lower the defense of the Giant Devouring Sandworm or even penetrate it didn't proc at all.

"Ready yourselves guys, next time it appears, we attack together."

"But are we capable of attacking it? I mean, we are just capable of attacking it using our fangs and claws. Other than that we don't have special abilities!" Yonaka looked at me at a loss.

"That is fine. As long as you guys can at least hit the Giant Devouring Sandworm, that is enough."

"Hitting it is fine? Then, that's not a problem," Kurogane said.

The sand started to rumble once again and the surroundings shook.

.

"The worm is here again. Stay sharp, he will appear any moment. Be careful below your feet too, that bastard will appear anytime."

From the looks of it, the Giant Devouring Sandworm is trying to pinpoint our location at the moment since this monster is capable of striking at the worst timing and location.

BOOOOM!

The sand exploded right beneath our feet so I quickly recalled everyone back and dodged from the emerging boss.

"Master, you need some help? I can incinerate this bastard in one go if you like it," Lucia said.

"I can also slice it to pieces and feed it to Leona," Atlas seconded.

"No need guys. This time, this worm is the prey of the wolves."

I landed a bit far from the boss and summoned the wolves back again.

"No one got hurt by the appearance of that guy?"

"None, Master."

"Good! Now, let's commence the attack!"

The wolves lead the attack and I followed suit. It was a good thing this guy is a bit slower in movement which is a better way for me to train the wolves in teamwork. After all, a bit of teamwork, dodge, attack, and retreat, this boss can die so easily. It is a good way to increase their mastery of it.

The wolves immediately attacked but since the worm is higher leveled than them and with the addition with the high defense, it didn't do much at all. However, the action of the wolves immediately got the attention of the Giant Devouring Sandworm. It started chasing the wolves.

"Don't let it catch you guys! Run around in circles, this guy will get confused!"

"ROGER! Did you hear that boys? Let's get running! Let's show master how good we are at running!"

The wolves then entered the [Shadow Mode], this is the time they can shift to the shadows, blend in from the shadows, and pop out from the shadows whenever time they like it. This made the Giant Devouring Sandworm gets confused and have to shift its target again and again.

SWISH! CRACK!

One shell located on its stomach area break off after my attack and since the attention of the boss is focused on the Wolves, it didn't realize the danger it was in and only discovered the real danger when I pushed the sword deeper into the stomach which is now exposed and vulnerable to attack. As soon as the sword is in halfway, I changed it to an ax inside the body and forcefully drag the huge ax to its upper torso.

"KEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!"

Its ear-piercing squeal started to reverberate around the area, but it doesn't have any effects as it only squealed due to the pain it got with the ax.

"LET IT RIP!"

With a strong pull, I drag the ax while the blade is still inside its body and started cutting its abdomen open. It tried to go back underground but I cast Ice Prison once again, stopping its retreat once more.

"Alright! Chip off the health of this bastard! He is about to die soon!"

With my act of ripping out its stomach, the HP of the Giant Devouring Sandworm slowly went down to the critical levels. I didn't stop running while dragging the ax inside its stomach, cutting open the stomach of the boss.

"This is the end!"

SPLOTCH!

Flesh freshly cut off from the Giant Devouring Sandworm were chipped off from the body, and it is now on the critical levels. Most of the protective measures it has on its abdomen are all cracked and broken and its stomach is now exposed.

"Guys, deal the final blow to this guy!"

Yonaka's eyes lit up and opened his mouth, there, it revealed his sharp fangs, all glowing red. If I am not wrong, that is the exclusive ability of Yonaka as an Elite Monster, the [Frenzied Vampirism Fang].

Red blood exploded as soon as Yonaka bite through the skin and before the Giant Devouring Sandworm can stand back up again, the health of the creature slowly fell into zero.

-Got...

...

I browsed all of the things I got. The EXP is not mentioned since it gets stored temporarily while I am still on the cap. It was like I didn't receive an experience but I definitely did receive one. I know about it since I have done this before.

The drops are materials and some pretty meh equipment. Nothing interesting to be honest. The only thing good is that all of the wolves leveled from 60 to 64 which is a bit of a jump in levels.

Looking at the carcass of the sandworm, I got a good idea. Due to the nature of this boss, there are times that the stomach of the Giant Devouring Sandworm has treasure, ores and other things that it can't digest. Since it devours soil, sand and rocks underground, it wouldn't be strange to find valuables which acts as the grindstones inside its stomach.

Changing back my weapon into a sword, I cut the stomach a little bit bigger for me to enter its insides. Its hard to fully make a big hole without brute force so I have to destroy a big portion of its stomach to make a proper entrance.

"Master, are you not even finding it dirty going inside this thing?" Lucia frowned.

"Not really, its natural so I am not surprised you would find it dirty. But its pretty normal and I need to do this because there is a slim chance we might get a good item or treasure inside its dirty stomach."

I lit up my sword to flames to act as my light inside its stomach. The stench is pretty bad and there are some slimes and blood dangling around. Basically, it is too grimy and disgusting.

With the continuous walk in its body, I spotted a few pile of glittering items around it. Based from its gold luster, it looks like this worm managed to eat a few gold ore. Since the Giant Devouring Sandworm can only melt iron and rock, the rest of the things that are here are things that are not classified as rock or iron. And gold is one of those.

"Looks like we strike it rich!" I said as I lift up one of the boulders that is covered with gold ores."

"Wow, this is the first time I heard of this method! If I knew this way back then, I might have been able to save a lot of money by now due to this!" Lucia said.

"You managed to kill some of this guys in the past, Princess?" Atlas asked.

"Yeah. My father likes to hunt big monsters so of course, sandworms like this is a pretty common monster my father hunts so I always get to encounter at least one or two during the hunt."

"That's a wasted potential but since you won't be able to use it due to the incident of your sleep, it is still a good thing you didn't managed to do so or else, the enemies are now well funded by your stash."

"Ugh, I really hated that. You are right master, it seems like it is indeed for the best that I didn't do things similar to this in the past."

I was busy collecting the ores when the wolves detected something.

"Master, I smell something," Katame said and the others also agreed that they also smelled something and started to run further.

"Hey, wait!"

They didn't far so fast and I managed to catch up with them. When I arrived, there is an individual lying naked and covered in slime from the Giant Devouring Sandworm's gastric juices. However, this one... is not a human. It is an insect in a form of a human female.
