Sand Mage of the Burnt Desert - Chapter 112
Sand Mage Of The Burnt Desert Chapter 112
Episode 112
“Wow! what?”
Levin stood up, stroking the back of his head.
It seemed like it had fallen dozens of meters.
Since he was an awakened person, he was safe. If he were an ordinary person, he would have died or suffered serious injuries.
Actually, Zeon would have kicked the fact that he was an awakened person like that.
“Why did you put me in a place like this?”
Levin looked around.
But all I see is black darkness.
The darkness was so extreme that even the awakened Levin could not distinguish it with his own eyes.
Still, one thing was clear.
The underground space is quite large.
The reason Levin thought so was the wind.
A fairly strong wind was blowing from somewhere underground.
A musty smell and subtle noise carried by the wind.
Huiing!
It sounded like the breathing of an animal or the faint sound of a flute.
The moment Levin heard an unidentified noise, he felt goosebumps rising all over his body.
“What?”
It was then.
As if in response to Levin’s voice, something opened its eyes in the darkness.
A bright yellow eye light that brightens the darkness.
But it wasn’t a pair.
Hundreds and thousands of pairs of eye lights illuminated the darkness.
“Fuck! What is that?”
Huiing!
At that moment, the same noise was heard again.
Only then did Levin realize that the noise was made by the owners of the eye light.
Food!
At that time, a pair of eye lights flew towards Levin along with the sound of wings flapping.
Levin quickly turned into a ghost and avoided the guy’s attack.
It passed through Levin’s body in vain.
At that moment, Levin saw the thing.
“bat?”
It was clearly a bat.
A giant bat with a wingspan of over one meter.
The snout had fangs as long and sharp as the molars of a flame wolf.
I could see it at a glance.
This means that the teeth are developed in the optimal form for sucking blood.
The bats that filled the basement were all vampire bats.
If you get bitten by them, all your blood will be sucked out and you will dry up like a mummy and die.
“Fuck!”
Levin felt cold sweat running down his back.
Fortunately, I had the ability to turn into a ghost.
Because their attacks are useless in a ghostly state.
It was then.
Huiing!
The strange noise made by the bats was heard again.
At that moment, Levin felt extreme pain.
“Ugh!”
With a groan, his body materialized again.
That wasn’t what Levin intended.
It momentarily lost control and materialized.
“Then does the ultrasonic waves emitted by bats interfere with ghosting?”
Everyone knows that bats emit ultrasonic waves to find food in the dark. However, it was the first time that ultrasound interfered with ghosting.
It was a fact that no one knew.
But it was clear that Zeon knew.
Otherwise, there would be no reason to push yourself here.
Huiing! Hehehe!
Hundreds and thousands of vampire bats emitted ultrasonic waves all at once.
“Shit!”
Levin’s face turned white.
It was like being naked in front of thousands of people.
At that moment, vampire bats flew in all at once.
Levin desperately turned his body into a ghost.
I managed to become a ghost through the interference of ultrasonic waves, but my concentration did not last long.
Once the bats passed through, his concentration was broken and his body materialized.
Quack!
Without missing the opportunity, a vampire bat bit his forearm.
“Ugh!”
Levin screamed and unleashed chain lightning.
Kwakagak!
The bat that bit his forearm and several others nearby were blown away by the strong electric current.
As they died, the smell of blood and burning spread widely. Then the vampire bats became more frantic.
Wow!
Numerous flapping wings and ultrasonic waves were mixed together to create a tremendous reverberation sound.
All of that prevented Levin from becoming a ghost.
Levin desperately tried to turn into a ghost while avoiding the vampire bat’s attacks.
Only then did Levin realize why Zeon had put him here.
The best way for an awakened person to level up is to gain numerous experiences.
The vampire bats here are natural enemies to him.
If you survive against the vampire bats, you may be able to rise in rank.
When I thought like that, a fighting spirit emerged.
“Fuck! Okay, let’s give it a try. Either you die or I die. Come on! “Bat bastards.”
Patter!
As if in response to his provocation, the vampire bats rushed at him all at once.
＊＊＊
“It has begun.”
Zeon muttered softly at the sound coming from the sandstone crevice.
Levin’s hardships began now.
Levin probably wouldn’t guess.
The size of the underground space was much larger than he had guessed, and the number of vampire bats was several times greater.
If Levin wants to survive, he has no choice but to explode his potential.
If you don’t do this, you will eventually bleed to death like a mummy due to the endless attacks of vampire bats.
Even though Levin was pushed into a hellish place, Zeon’s expression did not change.
To become strong, you have to risk your life.
Deioden also raised Xeon like that.
And Zeon also tries to raise Levin like that.
Quarrr!
When Zeon touched the sandstone, it turned into sand and collapsed.
The sand completely blocked the small gap.
Now there is no way out for Levin.
The only way was to kill all the vampire bats and escape under one’s own power.
Zeon decided to rest in peace until then.
He took out a few items from subspace.
The dung beetle’s dung was one of them.
The ironclad dung beetle was a magical beast that lived in a distant desert, and its dung was hard and had almost no odor. Once the fire was ignited, it maintained its firepower for a very long time.
Because of this, it was very useful when starting a fire in the desert.
Grumble!
The dung beetle’s dung caught fire easily.
Zeon hung the cauldron over the bonfire and put the food he had prepared in advance inside.
Time does not pass in subspace.
For that reason, after entering Neo Seoul, Zeon put a lot of edible food into subspace.
If you do this, you can always eat it fresh.
“Good!”
Zeon warmed the campfire while waiting for the food to boil.
In fact, Zeon had no need for a bonfire like this.
This is because the robe you are wearing completely protects your body temperature.
Nevertheless, the reason I light a bonfire is because of the strange sense of relief that fire gives me.
For some reason, it feels like demonic beasts won’t be able to get through here.
Zeon looked up at the sky.
Before we knew it, the sun had set and the sky had become dark.
Night is the time for demonic beasts.
From now on, the demonic beasts will be active.
Kuooo!
The roar of an unknown demonic beast was heard from afar.
Zeon immediately recognized the identity of the bastard just by hearing him cry.
“Is it an armored bighorn bear? “I can’t believe he expanded his territory to this area.”
Zeon tilted his head.
The armored big-horned bear was a B-class magical beast.
It is only seven meters tall and its entire body is covered in thick leather that resembles a glove.
No amount of attack can pierce the armor-like leather and inflict damage.
Not only does it have high defense power, but it is also dangerous because it has enormous teeth, deadly claws, and large horns.
It was nearly impossible for a C-level or lower martial arts awakened person to penetrate the creature’s skin and inflict wounds.
It wanders the desert alone except during mating season.
This is because he is confident in his size and strength.
There weren’t many magic beasts that could actually touch him.
Not only the flame wolf pack, but even the sandworms didn’t touch him.
This is because they know that if they touch them incorrectly, they are in danger.
As far as Zeon knew, this was not the territory of the armored bighorn bear.
Although he wandered the desert alone, he only moved within his own territory.
“Has he expanded his territory? “Is it really close to Neo Seoul?”
It was when Zeon’s eyes sank deeply.
Quaaa!
A roar was heard through the darkness.
Xeon immediately recognized that it was the sound of a car engine.
After a while, a car appeared where Zeon was with its headlights flashing.
People got out of the mangled car.
“I’m right. As expected, it was the light of a bonfire.”
“Someone has no fear and starts a fire in the middle of the desert.”
“We barely arrived before the engine was completely worn out.”
The people who got out of the car were four men and women wearing heavy armor.
They were around the same age as Zeon, but they were all handsome and pretty.
The strongest-looking young man among them spoke to Zeon.
“hello? My name is Kim Kyung-soo, the party leader. “Can you tell me your identity?”
“It’s called Xeon.”
“Are you from Neo Seoul?”
“I came from a slum, not Neo-Seoul.”
“hmm!”
Kim Kyung-soo frowned slightly at Zeon’s unexpected answer and looked at his companions.
The companions who came with him also blinked, probably out of surprise.
Among them, the only woman, Hong Il-jeom, was the first to come to her senses.
“You’ve come a long way. My name is Yoo Seung-hee. nice to meet you.”
“Nice to meet you.”
“This is Junsu Lee.”
“This is Choi Chang-sik.”
Other people also revealed their identities.
They all had Korean names.
This was my first time seeing a party made up entirely of Koreans.
Zeon asked.
“It looks like you’re all friends?”
“That’s right. We were all born and raised in the same neighborhood. “We’ve been together for over 20 years.”
“But what are you doing at this time of night?”
“The engine was bad, so I fell behind the pack.”
“swarm?”
“A raid team. “I was just returning from a dungeon that occurred not long ago.”
When a large dungeon is discovered, Neo Seoul recruits a raid team.
Then, awakened people or parties active in each area provide support.
In Neo Seoul, they are selected and formed into a raid team to conquer the dungeon.
This was the typical dungeon strategy.
But not everyone did this.
Dungeons were discovered randomly and it was impossible to manage all dungeons in Neo Seoul.
There were quite a few awakened people and parties who entered the dungeon without informing Neo Seoul of their discovery.
This is because if you successfully conquer a dungeon, you earn a lot of money.
Instead, the risk has increased accordingly.
In any case, it was up to the discoverers to decide.
The party led by Kim Kyung-soo was not strong enough to enter the dungeon on its own.
First of all, the leader, Kim Kyung-soo, was in C level, and the rest of the friends were evenly distributed between C and D levels.
They mainly made profits by applying to the raid team organized by Neo Seoul.
It was the same this time too.
The dungeon raid was successful.
However, the problem was the vehicle they were riding in.
The engine was worn out by the harsh environment.
Because of that, I fell behind and fell behind.
If Yoo Seung-hee had not discovered the bonfire that Jeon had lit, he would have been in trouble.
Seunghee Yoo said.
“I guess you’re pretty confident in your skills? How can you make a bonfire like this? “Thanks to you, we survived.”
“It was just cold so I had no choice but to smoke.”
“is it so? Just stay in the car. Oh, the car is over there.”
Yoo Seung-hee’s eyes lit up when he saw the small buggy.
Kim Kyung-soo and the other friends’ eyes also glowed dangerously.
Seeing that, Zeon sighed and said.
“What’s so funny is that they risk their lives for something that doesn’t really matter.”
