The group reached the Metal Storm, where they found a vast crimson sandstorm containing dangerous Dread Beasts.

• Arjen told Dominguez that Zenit's forces lacked the numbers to defeat Barcelona in a direct battle and could only delay them while seeking reinforcements.

• After a report that the Dread Beasts were rioting in the Metal Storm and Evil Water Swamp, Ernst led Sun Fei and thousands of Orc warriors toward the disturbance.
• The group flew for six or seven hours across a desolate desert before landing near a towering wall of crimson sand suspended in a hurricane.

• Sun Fei absorbed energy from the Dread Beasts he killed and advanced to Peak Demigod Class while Ernst and the orcs guarded him.
• Sun Fei resumed leading the group and found that killing more Dread Beasts barely improved his realm, so he considered that he needed to condense a Divinity to become a god.
