Sand Mage Of The Burnt Desert Chapter 107

Episode 107

“You kid! What on earth have you been trying to buy for so many days? “You’re so crazy, why don’t you go somewhere else?”

“sorry. “I’ll stay here just a little longer.”

Levin did not give in to the merchant’s criticism and persevered.

The place where he was sitting was in front of the general store.

It was not a typical general store.

It was a general store that sold items made using the corpses of demonic beasts.

He had been sitting in front of the general store for several days.

It was no wonder that the general store owner scolded him.

Still, Levin persisted.

I was beaten and kicked out several times, but I still came back.

“Wow! “That leech-like bastard!”

The general store owner glared at Levin as if he were going to kill him and then entered the store.

Levin leaned against the wall and muttered.

“Is today also a waste of time? “It’s not easy either.”

I closed my eyes for a moment.

The reason he entered the Goblin Market was not to watch people passing by.

‘He definitely bought something here.’

Levin tracked down the killer who killed his mother and younger brother.

In the meantime, he committed several more murders. And then he dived as if to mock Levin, who was pursuing him.

When Levin, tired of the chase, took a break even for a moment, he committed murder as if he had been waiting.

Levin thought the bastard might be tracking him. Otherwise, it would be impossible to understand his actions.

Eventually, Levin gave up trying to track down the killer himself. However, this did not mean that the chase was completely given up.

We just changed the method.

‘All the items he uses are not regular mass-produced products. It’s just made with special ingredients.’

A representative example is the knife he uses.

His knife was specially made to cut the human body efficiently and easily draw blood.

We traced the knife he used through the cut marks left on the corpse, but we could not find a knife with a similar shape.

The knife the killer used was so unique.

But what Levin noticed was not the appearance of the knife.

That was the nature of the sword.

The blood of people killed by the killer was strangely sticky. The viscosity is so high that it makes no sense.

Levin thought it might have been exposure to hot temperatures.

Either the killer intentionally heated up the blood, or something in his possession radiated high temperature.

‘What if the knife he holds is made of a special material and radiates heat?’

That was the reason Levin was sitting here dead.

There were quite a few materials that radiated heat on their own.

Including the bones of a flame lizard, flame stone, flame eagle feathers, and the remains of a flame golem.

But these special ingredients can never be found in regular stores.

Especially in slums.

The only place in the slums other than Neo Seoul where you could get these ingredients was Goblin Market.

So Levin thought there was a high possibility that the killer must have used the goblin market, especially the general store.

‘After committing so many murders, the blade must be damaged.’

The human body may seem weak, but it is actually very strong and tough.

In particular, bones are incredibly hard and can easily damage blades.

If that level of murder had been committed, the killer’s blade would have been severely damaged. Even if it is an item made from special materials.

‘If you want to repair the knife, you will definitely get the materials from here.’

There was no telling when the killer would appear.

Maybe it would never appear again.

Still, Levin planned to wait until the end.

Because this is the only number left to him.

‘I’m also good at waiting patiently.’

Levin stayed at the general store for several more days.

In the meantime, many people visited the general store.

The things they bought were also diverse.

Some people bought materials that seemed completely useless, while others bought materials that cost jaw-dropping amounts of money.

Levin took a close look at those who were making purchases. But no one was particularly suspicious.

Levin’s eyes changed.

His gaze was following the man who had just entered the general store.

It was a man wearing a black robe.

He couldn’t see his face because he was pressing down on his robe, but the moment he passed by, the thick smell of blood strongly stimulated Levin’s sense of smell.

Levin’s face hardened.

The man in the black robe was the first person to smell blood so strongly.

Levin’s reason was momentarily lost.

Levin clenched his fists without realizing it.

‘It’s a guy. It must be him.’

There was no evidence whatsoever.

But the moment Levin saw him, he was convinced.

His senses were whispering.

That man is a murderer.

Levin trusted his intuition.

‘Not yet. If you move too hastily, you’ll irritate him.’

He did not go into the general store, but waited patiently for the man to come out.

It was a while later that the man in the black robe came out of the general store again.

Judging from the time he spent at the general store, he must have bought quite a lot, but strangely enough, he was empty-handed.

‘Do you have any subspace items?’

Subspace items are extremely valuable items.

I heard that even in Neo Seoul, there are not many awakened people who have subspace items.

If the man in the black robe really had a subspace item as Levin had guessed, there was a high possibility that he was not of ordinary status.

“after!”

Levin waited until the man in the black robe was far enough away and then stood up.

My stomach hurt after sitting in the same position for a long time. Still, Levin did not show any pain and pursued the man in black robes.

The man in the black robe seemed to have a very cautious personality.

He never once let his guard down.

Although he was walking calmly, I could feel that his senses and nerves were open to the outside world.

‘About ten meters?’

Levin found it amazing that he could know such a thing.

It seemed possible because my senses became more sensitive as I awakened.

Levin walked more than ten meters away from the man in black robes.

The man in the black robe entered deeper and deeper into the alley.

Levin was sure.

‘It’s clear he’s planning to commit murder today.’

I had a strong feeling.

It was time for Levin to calm his violently pounding heart.

Suddenly, a man in black robes stopped.

Levin also stopped.

The man in black robes turned and looked in Levin’s direction.

At that moment, Levin’s eyes met the man in the black robe.

He opened his mouth.

“What are you? “You’re chasing me all the way from the goblin market.”

“how? “It was clearly outside the detection range.”

Levin blurted out in surprise.

“My detection range is much wider and tighter than you think. “You kid!”

“Tsk!”

“Now tell me why you followed me.”

The cold gaze of the black-robed man gave Levin goosebumps.

Eyes that seemed to see through everything about him and the ferocious hostility contained within them.

It was a look in his eyes that immediately reminded me of a black leopard.

Levin swallowed dry saliva without realizing it.

The man’s mouth, exposed under a deep hat, drew an arc.

“If you don’t tell the truth, I will tear you to pieces.”

“It’s you, right? “A dog butcher who kills people and leaves them lying in the shape of a hydra.”

“What do you mean by dog Baekjeong? You’re a shallow guy who doesn’t understand art. This is why I hate slums. There are so many people who are so busy making a living that they can’t fill their heads. So you don’t have the knowledge to understand art.”

“Tearing people to death is art? Then, let’s try art too.”

Levin could not hold back and exploded with anger.

Seeing Levin like that, the smile of the man in the black robe deepened.

“Can you empathize to this extent? You are not just a tracker. “Did any of those I killed have family members?”

“okay! 이 개새끼야.”

Levin screamed and rushed at the man in black robes.

Levin’s appearance was blurred like a ghost.

He unleashed his awakening ability, Specter.

The man in the black robe was surprised to see Levin radiating purple energy in a blurred state like a ghost.

I’ve met quite a few awakened people, but this was the first one with abilities like Levin’s.

“Hehe! You must have a taste for cutting. “How does it feel to cut up a ghost?”

Sigh!

At that moment, a misshapen dagger was pulled out of the man’s sleeve.

The dagger, which looked like a mixture of a sword and a saw, had a silver thread that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.

The man in the black robe snapped his fingers, and the dagger hanging from the silver thread pierced Levin.

An ordinary human or an awakened person would have died instantly, but it could not have done any damage to Levin, who had become a ghost.

“I’m dead!”

At that moment, a tremendous amount of electrical energy was released from Levin.

Absolutely!

The electrical energy instantly swept over everything in the area like a storm.

Even the man in the black robe could not escape the storm.

The robe he was wearing burst open, revealing his face.

“Big!”

An elongated face reminiscent of a lizard with slitted eyes. What was most impressive was the scars running across his face.

The wound had been roughly sutured, as if it had been sewn with a rag. So it looked even more hideous.

“dare!”

He was angry.

I had no idea that in addition to becoming a ghost, it would also emit electrical energy.

The word is electrical energy, but it is the awakening of the magic world. Among them, it had the same principle as Chain Lightning, which could only be used by lightning-type awakeners.

If the man’s abilities had been slightly lacking, he would have been killed in the attack just now.

The anger of the man who was revived was scary.

“Chaaa!”

He swung the dagger hanging from the silver thread.

Levin laughed at the man.

“I said this doesn’t work. “You’re so stupid.”

“bantling! That’s why you lose.”

“what?”

At that moment, white light flowed like a flash along the silver thread.

It was electricity emitted from the man’s hand.

Only then did Levin realize that the man’s hand was a mechanical prosthetic hand. The guy’s prosthetic hand generated intense electrical energy like Levin’s.

Absolutely! Kwakwakwak!

Electricity clashed with electricity, creating a huge energy storm.

The energy storm destroyed a corner of the slum.

***

“what?”

Brielle raised her head in surprise at the sudden tremendous vibration.

The building shook for a moment as if there had been an earthquake.

Because of this, the experimental objects placed on the workbench shook for a moment.

Fortunately, the vibration disappeared quickly.

She quickly found Zeon.

Zeon had already stood up and was looking out the window.

Zeon could see the white light disappearing in the distance.

Brielle asked Zeon.

“what’s the matter?”

“It looks like there was a fight.”

“Anyway, this damn slum. There is never a quiet day. where are you? Dong Dae Moon? Or somewhere else?”

“It’s Sinchon.”

“Eh? “That close?”

It was then.

Quaaaang!

Heavy drinking and white thunder once again swept through the slums.

Because of this, the windows of Zeon’s house shook as if they would break at any moment.

“What kind of bastards are really fighting in the middle of the night?”

Brielle, who was completely angry, put on her conical hat and huffed.

Zeon said.

“It’s Levin.”

“what?”

“Levin is fighting.”

Because of the tall buildings, fighting is not visible.

However, it was clear that the unique energy wave that was felt strongly was Levin’s.

“Is the real Levin fighting? So have you found the killer?”

“I have to check now.”

Zeon opened the window.

A thick, sandy wind hit his face.

Without hesitation, Zeon launched himself into the sandstorm.

Brielle also shouted and jumped out the window.

“Let’s go together.”
