They took over the entire Drifting Sand world!

These giant green arms were unable to reach the barrier of flesh in the sky.

In fact, they were still a bit short of being able to reach the floating market itself.

But they were still wiggling, writhing uncontrollably in the air, trying to grab whatever they could grab.

“Look!” someone shouted.

Below the floating market.

The small town in the desert had already been grabbed by one of the giant green arms, slowly pulled down beneath the sand.

Many figures could be seen flying out of the town, trying to escape this calamity.

But the other green arms around them that were flailing about, grabbed them.

——-as if it was swatting away flies or mosquitoes.

Blood splattered in the air.

The green arms seemed to have some sort of unique power, as everybody who tried to run away from them was sucked back in and got stuck on the hands.

Not just the runaway people, but even birds flying far above screeched as they fell from the sky.

Anyone caught by the giant arms were squished and turned into bloody pulps.

One arm.

Two arms.

Three arms, four arms, five arms…

The arms came in large numbers and caught everyone.

Not even a single person escaped.

Everyone in the town was now dead.

The arms carried the bloody pulps in their grips back into the desert.

The ground began to tremble as the flowing sand formed a sinkhole, one so deep that it looked like an abyss of darkness.

This trembling was very light, not at all like an earthquake, but more like something was slowly chewing, enjoying, and swallowing its food.

In the sky, everyone stopped breathing as they stared at this while being stunned.

A sudden loud female voice screamed: “It’s coming!”

Everyone looked up.

One arm finally reached higher than any others and grabbed towards the floating market.

The entire floating market panicked.

Everyone was desperately attacking the green arm.

Everyone——- or at least those whose attack could reach the green arm were using their full power.

But the arm only reached higher and higher, unfazed by the barrage of attacks.

“It’s useless!”

“It’s unaffected by our attacks!”

“We can’t do anything to it!”

While cries of despair rang out across the entire place, the green arm only continued upward, grabbing at the floating market.

With a ‘pop’, the meticulously constructed defensive barrier around the floating market broke like a bubble, easily destroyed by the slightest touch of the green arm.

It continued to get closer.

But as it was just about to reach the floating market, it stopped!

Even though this arm has already reached higher than any other, it was still a little bit away from being able to reach the floating market!

Just a little bit!

The giant green arm covered in pus lightly scratched the very bottom of the floating market, bringing with it intense screaming wind and stench.

The floating market shook.

“Go higher already!!!!!”

Someone cried out.

Everyone suddenly regained their sense.

They shouted the same thing at the top of their lungs.

All the panic stopped.

They looked towards the center of the black market—— the floating device control center.

The equipment used to control the height of the floating market was right here.

Several black market personnel quickly rushed in and operated the intricate machinery.

A large group of Professionists stepped up and surrounded the control center, protecting it.

This was only their natural reflex.

Because even a moron wouldn’t try to attack the control center of the floating device at this point in time.

Time passed, second by second.

It wasn’t easy to control the entire market to fly up.

Everyone understood this, so they couldn’t do anything but silently wait.

And then, the giant green arm came again!

This time, it seemed to have reached a bit higher.

It fully extended all of its fingers, trying to touch the bottom of the floating market.

The Combatants around once again attacked it with all they had.

Earlier, some people were still holding back, but right now, no one dared to be lax with their strength anymore.

Again, even after being attacked by all sorts of long-ranged spells, the green arm did not budge even a little bit.

Under everyone’s desperate gazes, the arm’s green fingers managed to touch the bottom of the floating market.

One finger.

Two fingers.

Three fingers…

The giant green arm could almost grab the floating market in its hands.

Suddenly!

A loud noise came from the floating market itself.

Ooongg——-

It was activated!

The market could now raise or lower itself!

The silent and despairing crowd of people suddenly erupted.

Everyone screamed with insane zeal.

“Hurry up!”

“Hurry!”

“Do it!”

“Damn it, GO UP!”

“GO UP!!!”

Fwoom——

White smoke shot out from the bottom of the floating market.

It began to rise.

Slowly but surely, it escaped from the giant green hand’s touch and took to the fly.

The entire market went silent for a moment.

All of a sudden.

Cheers and cries of joy erupted all over the floating market.
