Preparation

As Martin prepares for the upcoming battle, he trains on how to use Veliona's power exponentially as he tries to use her power on the water since water and blood had the same element.

" It is very hard, to control a large number of waters such as this ....!!!! " Martin says as he tries to bend and control the lake's water as he tries to lift it up.

" Hold your horses you fool, you need to withstand this training, or else you will not able to control the water even with my power helping you!!! " Veliona tells him as she says that Martin needs to use his Mana very hard and try to absorb the Mana from nature to supply his magic use since he's gonna perform many big magical activities in future days.

As he does that, Martin then absorbs nature's Mana as he uses it to increase his ability to lift the lake's water into the air as he lifted it.

" Wow, now that's what I called magic !!! " Martin says while Veliona tells him to not be so happy about it since this was his first step as she tells him that their target is to be able to bend the ocean in order to wet all of the Draining Desert during the High Tide.

As they train, in the castle, Lich decides to train his armies as he also creates many poisonous liquids in order to help him eradicate Sphinxer's dessert Demonic Monsters as he creates a large being created from all of his poisonous liquid.

" With this, that Dessert will soon be drowned in the acid waters .... " he says as he then looks at the new army that he alchemically created in order to defeat Sphinxer.

" After we defeated the Draining Dessert, the gateway out of Tartarus will be opened !!!!! "

" And during that time, I and Veliona will strike that Diviner who locked us in this Sub-Realm and destroy every last remain on 'his' nation that was placed above this very dimension. " Lich says as he swears that after being free once more, he will drench the Mortal world into Corruption as he swears that he will also corrupt those blasted Diviners to extinct them from the existence.

As he says that, he then summons his air familiars and tells them to go meet the remaining Deviants who were still alive in Tartarus as he tells the familiar that he wants every Deviant to join him as he believes this will be an all-out war.

" Make sure you bring them here with complete safety. " Lich says as he tells the familiar to go and find the remaining ones.

" I hope there some of 'us' that remains ... " Lich says as he's afraid that after the Deviants decided to kill each other when they first enter this realm, then this will make all of them have a few numbers to muster as defeating Sphinxer will require more manpower.

" And if they can .... I hope that my familiar can bring a 'water' Deviant like Veliona." he says as he was worried that Veliona may not have enough power to defeat Sphinxer.

( In the Draining Dessert.)

" This is boring ... " Sphinxer says as he sleeps on the sand in the cold night.

" No Deviant to eat .. " Sphinxer says as he complains how bored he is while looking up in the sky.

" The moon is shining brighter these days .... " he says as he looks at the moon.

" Does my Diviner aunt does 'her' thing in her land again? " Sphinxer asks as he commented on the moon, believing it to be his Diviner 'aunt' as her power is mostly based on the moon while his 'father's power is based on the sun.

" I must say, even though she and her powers are beautiful ... "

" Her attitude is so scary, even more, scarier than my father ... the Sol Diviner, Marticorax ... " Sphinxer says as he sees the moon.

In his sight, Sphinxer feels illuminated by the moon's beauty as he can't stand it to be hypnotized by its radiance.

" For the object of the night, the moon is very beautiful, isn't it? " Sphinxer says as he wonders how can the beautiful thing such as the moon could be affiliated with the Deviants like him as many beings always relate it to them.

" Unlike the sun that is said to be the Divine object of the day, the bringer of light in the world ..... "

" It looks is so Abyssful, as I see it no different than the fire of the Abyss (the Deviant's Realm) .... " Sphinxer says as he also recounts the universe concept of 'balance' that applies to every sense as he wonders if anything is all like that based on his experience.

" This is my speculation only but it seems the reason that my father picked me from my weak point is that I'm the very balance itself. " Sphinxer says as he looks at himself for being Half Diviner and Deviant as he sees at his Sand body while remembering what his father told him that he may have the power to control the Time itself as his sand is said to be had the similarity like the sands of time.

As Sphinxer thinks of that, he then tries to use his 'Sand' to do the thing as he wonders if it's true that he can also control time as he tries to do that using his sand magic.

" Let's if these 'sands' have the potential to grow to be the 'sands of time' !!! " Sphinxer says as he tries to do the Time magic using his sand as 'sand' is also an element that is always be related to time itself as both Diviners and Deviant believe it in their myths.

" They say that the Titan being called ChronoAxis is also known to be the ruler of sands in the Primordial Age ... " Sphinxer says as he says that if an old being like him can do that, then he .. who was born with the power of Diviner and Deviants can do it as well while he tries to use his abilities and trains it in midst of his laziness during the beautiful moon.

Extra:

Since Sphinxer is half Deviant and half Diviner, he may have the potential to be as powerful as the Titans before them.
