EPISODE.75

.

.

As can be seen from the image imprinted on the image, desertification was the materialization of dozens or hundreds of spears and thorns in the sand in the form of flowers.

────────────!!

The sand starts to ripple from the point where the magic power was struck.

The rising sand rose sharply into the air in the form of a sharp spear.

Kwak Kwa Gwak!

Knock-!

Dozens or hundreds of sand windows created in this way formed a place like petals and transformed into a huge flower!

Quaguagua.

This is Angal Gloman’s Original Magic Desert Flower.

The spears of sand rising from the ground pierced Horhoi’s huge body in the form of a flower.

Fuhuaak-!

.

.

Although it is said to be a spear made of sand, its strength surpassed that of moderate steel the moment magic power was added to it.

It was clear that the sight of Horhoi, over 100 meters in length, being pierced by huge sand spears, was a rare sight that was difficult to see anywhere else in the world.

“Heh heh…”

Someone sighed in disbelief at the sight.

It was an old mercenary who first burst into security.

“I thought I would die without being able to move, but I never thought I would see a sight like this…”

He muttered inadvertently to which the other mercenaries and merchants inadvertently nodded.

Some of the dogs even looked at Russell with awe-inspiring eyes. It has to be.

As long as the eye wasn’t a knothole, I could guess that this was an unusual magic.

Of course, I couldn’t figure out the exact level of Russell.

Did he have acidic blood or venom?

Green, sticky bodily fluid dripped down the sides of the sand window.

Thick poisonous smoke rose from the spot where the bodily fluid had spilled and from the fallen sand.

Cheeky pushyyyyyy-.

“Hee-.”

Then the mercenaries who had approached hurriedly backed away.

If you go to this university, the neighborhood will be filled with thick poisonous smoke.

“hmm.”

Russell sighed and withdrew his mana.

At the same time as canceling the desert flower, it turned the bottom into a sandy swamp and sucked in Horhoi’s huge body.

Quguagwagwagwa-.

In an instant, the sandy ground turned into a swamp and gobbled up Horhoi.

In an instant, his huge body disappeared beneath the quicksand.

The end is too shabby for the appearance called the disaster of the desert. Anne, who came to her senses belatedly, approached Russell.

“…thank you. Eun Gong.”

A face that looks a little surprised.

It has to be.

She was the only one who knew Russell’s true identity, but never thought she would defeat Horhoi in one blow.

It felt like I had seen with my own eyes the fighting power of the 6th Circle War Mage, which I had only heard about through rumors.

Russell, who actually did such a thing, just shrugged his shoulders as if it was not a big deal.

“Since I am in the position of renting a camel and riding, I just did what I had to do.”

After that, there were several more attacks by small desert monsters, but there was no need for Russell to step out.

The mercenaries hired by the Michelin Mercenary were also seasoned people who had been active in the desert for a long time.

Horhoi was just special.

Other monsters were not opponents of the veteran mercenary.

About three more days passed like that…

‘It’s about to happen soon.’

Russell, who had been checking the astronomy in the night sky with his head up, stood up.

Tadak tadak-.

I walked away from the edge of the burning campfire and headed towards one of the tents set up for camping.

“Are you there? Acting Chief.”

As soon as I let out a voice, I heard someone from the inside, and soon after, I opened the entrance of the tent and Ann appeared.

“yes. Do you need anything? Eun-gong?”

“It’s not necessary, and I’m here to tell you that I think it’s time to act separately.”

“If it’s time to act separately…”

“It looks like the roads will diverge from here.”

It was a procession of the Michelin Merchant, which was on the way to trade with the countries in the northwest of the desert.

In contrast, the place Russell must head now is the center of the eastern desert.

“ah-.”

Realizing the meaning, Ann sighed in pity.

For Russell, it was not because there were special feelings between men and women.

Just the reassurance that the 6th circle mage is with you on the way up. I was saddened by the thought that I could no longer feel that reassurance.

‘But it wouldn’t be polite to hold on to Eun-gong’s footsteps here.’

So Anne bowed her head.

“Then tonight will be the last. Thank you so far. Eun Gong.”

“Thank you. Thanks to that, I also moved comfortably.”

Not only were they able to enjoy quality meals and lodging, but they also traveled comfortably on camels.

If I had crossed the desert alone, I would never have been able to enjoy this luxury.

“Would you like to say thank you to the Lord of Mercy as well?”

“Your father will be happy too.”

It was Russell who willingly offered an investment at a time when the upper class was having a hard time.

Recalling that time and their first meeting, Ann smiled faintly.

“ah-!”

As if it had suddenly come to mind, he hurriedly added the words.

“If you don’t mind, can I pack some water and food for you? I have a spare prepared in case of an unexpected situation…”

Although he was grateful, Russell shook his head.

“Thank you for your words, but it’s okay.”

There were already quite a lot of food and drinking water in his subspace.

If you eat well, you should be able to last more than four months.

“All right.”

I didn’t know that, but Anne didn’t recommend it anymore.

As a 6th circle mage, he wondered if there was a way.

After saying goodbye to the encounter with the past, Russell, who was separated from the procession as soon as the day dawned, moved toward the center of the desert.

.

.

After falling away from the top, Russell completely reversed his life pattern from that day on.

They changed their travel time to midnight and set up a simple tent to rest during the day.

It was a life that changed day and night, but there was no complaint.

‘This way is more convenient for checking and moving the planetarium.’

When I was with the guild, I had no choice but to match my life pattern with them.

At night, the sweltering heat of the day disappeared without a trace. A cold chill hit the body in the wind.

Hwaaak-.

Russell looked up as the wind blew his hair and robe wildly.

I stared at the dark night sky.

Could it be because it was a dark desert without a single light?

The stars in the night sky came into my eyes more clearly than when I was in a splendid city.

‘Is the flock in that direction?’

It’s been a while since I figured out the direction with the standard constellation.

‘I think we’re almost there?’

Russell thought as he folded the map. Of course, it will not be easy to specify the exact location only with an astronomical chart.

If he had tried, he would have had to spend as much trouble finding a needle in the middle of the desert.

But Russell had another milestone besides the astronomical chart.

‘They said that the light will show you the way when you approach.’

Judging by the astronomical observations, the location on the map was only a few days away.

….

and that morning.

As the sun shimmered, Russell sighed.

‘It’s not good to take a break today.’

The beam of light that started from the Yanggak astronomical map continued in a straight line.

.

.

half a day after that.

“hmm.”

Russell, who was crossing the desert, sighed. I checked the direction of the light beam extending from the embossed astronomical map.

‘Really here?’

All you see around you is plains and hills made of sand.

It is an everyday desert scene that can be seen anywhere in the Nadia Desert.

Beams of light were falling down at Russell’s feet, right in the middle of the desert.

‘Under the sand -.’

Does that mean that the Earth Dragon’s dwelling is under this thick sand?

‘hmm.’

Although it was deep, it didn’t last long.

Many complicated thoughts cluttered my head, but in the end there was only one thing to do.

Having made up his mind, Russell cast a spell under his feet.

“Dig-.”

Along with that, the sand dug out…

“Dig Dig Dig Dig Dig-.”

Over the quiet desert, the sound of digging sand resonated nonstop.

* * *

“Puha-.”

Rushing through the thick sand and falling down, Russell let out a deep breath.

‘Ugh-.’

Maybe it was because he had been wandering through the desert for an hour without stopping.

Russell’s whole body was already covered in sand. Feeling embarrassed, Russell took off his shoes and dusted them off.

Shaaak-.

A handful of sand pours down from the inside of the desertification.

“Two.”

Then, spitting out sand-filled saliva, Russell muttered.

“Clean.”

Right after she brushed off the sand from her hair and shoulders using magic, the light came on.

“-Light.”

Hwaaak-.

The sphere of light that started from the palm of his hand pushed away the darkness that had surrounded Russell.

When he raised his head, he could clearly see the aisle he had just fallen into.

The depth is about several tens of meters.

If it was simply digging sand, it wouldn’t have taken an hour.

but-.

‘It took a while to harden the excavated sand so that it would not be covered again.’

Russell laughed bitterly at the sight of himself digging through the sand just a few minutes ago to make a passage.

He turned his head to see where he had landed.

‘This is…’

The place where Russell was standing was in the middle of a certain aisle.

It was unbelievably clean passageway that we reached by digging through the sand just before.

‘Floor with stone…’

It’s not just the floor.

The walls and ceiling, as well as the pillars supporting them, were made of stone.

Gooooooo-

I could even hear the sound of the air ringing quite magnificently, probably because it was quite deep inside.

After digging down the sand, I never thought I would find a place like this.

A place that could never have been created without human hands. There was only one place like this that Russell knew.

Ruins that have not yet been discovered, perhaps.

‘It must be the ruins of an ancient kingdom that existed in the Nadia Desert a long time ago.’

Fortunately, the ceiling where Russell fell is not made of stone.

Could it be that the stone in that part has been corroded over a long period of time?

Part of the ceiling collapsed, and Russell fell through the crack.

Russell shifted his gaze, relieved that he hadn’t destroyed the ancient ruins with his own hands.

Once again, I checked the light flowing from the embossed astronomical map.

Hwaaak-.

It can be seen that the light flowing from the cylindrical embossed astronomical map continues towards the passage in front.

This is probably-.

‘I guess it means to go inside.’
