Sand Mage of the Burnt Desert - Chapter 110
Sand Mage Of The Burnt Desert Chapter 110
Episode 110:
The Ice Queen was the last hope and guardian of the different races lurking in Neo Seoul.
Because of her presence, people of different races were able to persevere in Neo Seoul despite severe persecution.
Because of that, the loyalty of the different races towards her was almost blind.
Borin was the same.
The reason she became the Blue Leaf Special Forces Captain was because of Ice Queen Serian Oleana.
He wanted to be of some help to her, so he accepted the difficult position of Special Operations Commander.
While leading the Green Leaf Special Forces, I faced numerous dangers and met countless people, but no one gave me as much of an eerie feeling as the Zeon in front of me.
Zeon was smiling.
That seemingly good smile felt threatening, like a blade.
Borin felt as if he was standing naked and alone in front of the sharpest knife in the world.
Zeon asked with a smile.
“I understand you want to take Levin. Because it is an ability that is well worth it. But why do you want to take that killer away? “What value is he worth?”
“….”
Borin pursed his lips.
Although the mission failed, secrets could not be leaked carelessly.
Zeon looked sad at Borin’s reaction.
“Borin! Let’s go easily. Please don’t make me do bad things. “Then you will be really unhappy.”
“Ugh!”
For a moment, Borin’s face distorted.
This is because, with the unique sense of an elf, he felt that Zeon’s words were true.
I didn’t know what evil deed Zeon was talking about, but it was clear that if he did anything, something very bad would happen to him and the Green Leaf Task Force.
“phew!”
Zeon sighed.
After looking at Borin for a moment, he turned to the other elves.
“I don’t think I’ve decided yet, but I think I need a little help.”
“What are you trying to do?”
“I have a lot of interesting items. Among them, there is a bug called Hwagakchung. This guy is a bit funny, but he gnaws at the bones of living creatures. If your bones are eaten, you must die, right? But this guy keeps the creature alive by injecting paralyzing fluid from its mouth. This numbing liquid has hallucinogenic effects. So, whoever gets hit by this guy will enjoy the greatest pleasure until all his bones are eaten away, and then he dies.”
“Don’t lie. “There is no way such a strange creature exists in the world.”
“Are you serious? As far as I know, this guy also came over from Kurayan.”
“That’s…”
Borin’s eyes wavered.
I saw Zeon putting his hand into his bosom.
It was unknown whether there were real hornworms in Zeon’s arms. However, I had heard the legend of the firehorn insect from Serian, the ice queen.
However, because it was fragmentary information, it took time to remember.
‘What if he really has a hornworm?’
Just imagining it made me feel bitter.
In the end, Borin surrendered.
“great. I’ll tell you. “He is a byproduct of some experiment.”
“by-product?”
“yes! Literally a by-product. It’s like trash. So, my personality was destroyed and only the instinct to kill remained.”
“What experiment is this?”
“I’m taking you there to find out.”
“hmm!”
“For a long time, there were a lot of secret rumors going around in the central area where City Hall is located. Because of that, the Ice Queen was also concerned.”
“So the central area was where the experiment was conducted?”
“That’s our guess. “That’s why I’m taking the killer with me to find out more details.”
“hmm!”
Zeon frowned.
If what Borin said was true, the movements of the North District also made sense.
Although they all belonged to Neo Seoul, the central district and the other four districts each had separate rulers.
Their territory was strictly managed, making it difficult for other powers to intervene.
Intervention by other powers meant war, so there was no choice but to be cautious.
“I told you everything I know. So please let us go now.”
“great. Instead, there are conditions. “Don’t ever approach Levin again.”
“That’s…”
“If you don’t make this promise, I can’t let you go.”
“Okay…”
At that moment, Brielle intervened.
“I swear on Serian’s name.”
Borin looked embarrassed at her sudden intervention.
Putting on the name of Serian, the leader of these races, was no different from putting her honor on the line.
If this oath is broken, Serian’s name will also be wallowing in the mud.
This is a fact that only elves cannot know.
Borin looked at Brielle.
“You… are an elf? But why are you taking the side of humans?”
“I’m not taking the human side. “You’re taking Zeon’s side.”
“Isn’t that what it is?”
“different!”
“hmm!”
“What are you going to do?”
Brielle asked bluntly.
Borin, who looked troubled for a moment, sighed and answered.
“I can’t help it. I swear in the name of Ice Queen Serian Oleana, the ruler of the North District. “I and the North District will not approach Levin first.”
“joy!”
Brielle crossed her arms and snorted.
He looked like a child who wanted praise from Zeon.
Zeon said with a smile.
“good job.”
“huh!”
At that time, Borin asked Brielle.
“It looks like you are close to a pureblood. Which clan are you descended from?”
“Even if I tell you, you won’t know.”
“yes?”
“So just stop paying attention.”
With those words, Brielle pursed her lips tightly.
Due to her stubborn attitude, Borin felt that it was useless to ask any more questions.
It was then.
“Look at this.”
The sudden voice of Zeon broke her out of her thoughts.
“Why are you doing this?”
“He ran away.”
“yes?”
“The killer escaped.”
The place Zeon pointed to was where the killer was. But now there was no one.
The killer suddenly came to his senses and escaped.
“Nonsense. “I confirmed that he had suffered fatal injuries.”
“Tsk! “Levin will be sad when he wakes up.”
Although he said that, Zeon didn’t look sad at all.
The killer’s fate must be decided by Levin.
Perhaps Levin also did not want the killer to be taken to the North District. In that case, revenge itself would have become more distant.
Zeon carried Levin around and left with Brielle.
Brielle asked Zeon in a low voice.
“Did you really want to use the firehorn?”
“There’s no way I have something like that.”
“So you’re saying it was a lie?”
“huh!”
“really?”
“That’s right.”
“and! You scammer! “I was fooled too.”
Brielle shook her head.
Borin muttered as he watched Zeon’s back as he walked away.
‘There was a huge monster hiding in the slums.’
＊＊＊
Zeon brought Levin to his house.
It was the next day that Levin came to his senses.
Perhaps due to the aftereffects of being attacked by the elves, Levin was in a dazed state all day.
Zeon and Brielle did not bother to talk to or provoke Levin.
It gave me time to sort things out on my own.
Zeon sat by the window and looked out at the street, while Brielle was focused on an experiment on one side.
pop!
A flask containing an unidentified liquid exploded.
“Huh! “It’s another failure.”
“are you okay?”
At that time, Levin spoke warm words to Brielle, who was crying.
“Have you finally come to your senses?”
“huh! are you okay?”
“are you okay! “It’s a familiar thing.”
“Brielle is brave. “Without fear of failure.”
“If you don’t, the humans will hit you.”
“ah! sorry.”
“Levin didn’t hit you, so why are you sorry?”
“Just…”
“As expected, Levin is nice.”
At that moment, Levin smiled bitterly.
Because he was not a good person at all.
If he was good, he would have listened to his mother, and if so, he would have been with his family on the day the incident occurred.
Because that wasn’t the case, he survived alone.
Levin looked at Zeon sitting by the window.
“개새끼는요?”
“pup?”
“I decided to call that killer bastard that.”
“He ran away.”
“Good for you. “I was wondering what I would do if those women took me.”
Levin smiled broadly.
It was not his style to leave his revenge in the hands of others.
You must take your revenge yourself.
Levin remembered everything about the killer’s face, eyes, and body odor.
I was confident that I would find it no matter what I changed into or what status I lived under.
Of course, I have to recover to perfect physical condition before then.
Levin asked Xeon.
“Will the North District continue to be greedy for me?”
“The North District won’t be able to touch you, so you don’t have to worry.”
“yes?”
Zeon told the puzzled Levin about what happened yesterday.
Brielle made Borin swear in Serian’s name.
After learning all about the situation, Levin thanked Brielle.
“thank you! Brielle.”
“Heng! “That’s not a big deal.”
Brielle raised her nose high.
“But you’ll have to be careful in other areas.”
“Would that elf named Borin leak information?”
“There must have been more than one person who watched your fight yesterday. “Rumors will spread through their mouths.”
Levin was a new type of awakener that had never existed before.
Regardless of its combat power, its effectiveness was immeasurable.
First of all, the ability to become a ghost itself was a fraud.
This is because it can infiltrate anywhere and neutralize all means of response if it wants to.
It was an ability optimized for intelligence and assassination.
Any organization had no choice but to covet it.
“hmm!”
Levin sighed.
Only then did he clearly realize his situation.
He asked Zeon for his opinion.
“What should I do?”
“Either raise your level so that no one can touch you, or hide so that no one can find you. “You have to choose one of the two.”
“I don’t want to hide anymore.”
“Then raise your grade.”
“how?”
“Fight as much as possible and stretch your talents beyond their limits.”
“brother! Please do me a favor. “Brother, help me.”
“….”
“My brother can do it. “Right?”
“It’s possible.”
“Please do me a favor. Please make me strong. Instead, I will be loyal to my brother.”
Levin knelt in front of Xeon.
“Do you know how scary that is?”
“brother! I’m not a child. I fully understand the weight that words carry. Even if it wasn’t necessarily this job, I wanted to be with my brother.”
Levin knew.
Although he looks ordinary on the outside, Xeon is actually a scary awakened person.
He eliminated Goran, the ruler of Sinchon, at once and easily defeated the special forces in the northern area.
Estimated grade B.
That’s also true when kept to a minimum.
‘Maybe it’s grade A or higher…’
Levin needed an umbrella to protect him from the heavy rain of the world.
A big and wide umbrella.
The man answered what he thought was a giant umbrella.
“If you want to stay in the house, the house must be small. I’ll have to buy the house next door and expand it.”
