Sand Mage Of The Burnt Desert Chapter 116
Episode 116:
Brielle’s face turned bright red.
When I looked back, I saw Zeon and Levin.
“Xeon! Levin!”
“Come on!”
At Zeon’s hand gesture, Brielle quickly hid behind him.
Levin asked.
“are you okay?”
“huh! “Levin has changed somehow.”
“okay?”
“surely!”
Levin just smiled silently at Brielle’s confident answer.
I wanted to continue chatting like this, but I couldn’t because Lee Ji-ryeong’s mood was unusual.
‘Fuck!’
Levin gritted his teeth.
If it had been before, I wouldn’t have noticed the strength of the man in front of me.
However, when I became C-level, my perspective changed and I began to see many things I had not seen before.
One of them was the eye that could identify an awakened person.
In Levin’s eyes, Lee Ji-ryeong was a monster.
I was able to see it more clearly because I used the same thunderbolt attack skill.
Lee Ji-ryeong had a much rougher and more vicious mana than himself. Of course, the power of the skill had to be strong.
Even if they were of the same level, he probably wouldn’t have been Lee Ji-ryeong’s opponent.
That fact made him miserable.
Levin spoke to Brielle with an effort to keep a calm expression.
“Let’s step back for now.”
“huh!”
Lee Ji-ryeong didn’t even pay attention to the two people.
His eyes were fixed on Zeon.
“That’s Xeon?”
“yes!”
“You know me, right?”
“yes!”
“I knew it would be like that. “We finally met.”
Lee Ji-ryeong grinned.
The sight of him smiling, showing his white teeth, was so full of madness that it was scary.
On the other hand, Zeon’s expression when looking at him was calm.
Lee Ji-ryeong.
Among the magic world, a thunderbolt-type awakener who is said to compete for the top in destructive power.
And he is the older brother of the man Zeon killed eight years ago.
A man who invaded Zeon’s magic stone and lost his life. It was his fault, but it was Zeon who had to run away.
This is because the man in front of me, Ji-ryeong Lee, wanted to avenge his younger brother.
Because of this, Zeon left the slums and escaped to the magicite mine and had to spend eight years in the desert.
Zeon asked Lee Ji-ryeong.
“Are you here to avenge your brother?”
“First of all, someone encouraged it. “Telling you that you are in Neo Seoul.”
“is that so?”
“So I came to see it with my own eyes. If he’s that kind of guy, I’m going to rip his head out. But…”
“But?”
“It’s a lot different than I thought. “You are strong.”
A pure white light flickered on Lee Ji-ryeong’s retina.
Lightning flashes within the eyes.
Zeon looked into Ji-ryeong Lee’s eyes with a curious expression.
As far as he knew, Lee Ji-ryeong’s grade was B level.
However, when I saw it in person, Ji-ryeong Lee’s level seemed higher than that.
‘Did your grade just go up? Well, eight years is not a small amount of time.’
Zeon himself went from the lowest grade, F grade, to his current grade.
However, it rose abnormally quickly due to a helper called Deioden and a fraudulent job called Sandman.
Absolutely!
Lightning flickered throughout Lee Ji-ryeong’s body.
Unlike Levin, it was a pure white thunderbolt.
However, Zeon spoke calmly without any sign of fear.
“If we fight here, the whole area will collapse. “Let’s go outside.”
“Was he that type?”
“yes?”
“Are you the type of person who worries about harming people around you?”
“You’re not that kind, are you?”
“Then is it hypocrisy?”
“More than that, I don’t want the front of my house to be ruined.”
“What kind of affection do you have for slums like this?”
“But first of all, it’s where I live.”
“What a strange guy.”
“I hear stories like that a lot.”
Ji-ryeong Lee’s eyes turned even colder at Zeon’s calm answer.
Zeon was the first person to make such a nervous expression and speak in front of him.
Lee Ji-ryeong said as he walked.
“Follow me. “If you run away, I will destroy your house.”
“That won’t happen.”
Zeon spoke calmly and followed him.
At that time, Brielle called Zeon.
“Xeon!”
“Go home with Levin.”
“But…”
“I’ll be back soon.”
“huh!”
After smiling at Brielle, who nodded, Zeon looked at Ji-ryeong Lee’s back.
Ji-ryeong Lee had already left the slums and entered the desert.
He walked on the sand without hesitation.
Only when Neo Seoul was out of sight did he stop.
Lee Ji-ryeong turned around and looked at Zeon.
“Is this enough?”
“It came farther than I thought.”
“If you fight near Neo Seoul, you’ll be noticed by old people.”
“Old people?”
“You know. Old people like Jin Jin-ho and Xiao Lun.”
“You mean the powerful people of Neo Seoul.”
“okay! Fighting near Neo Seoul will inevitably attract their attention. “You probably don’t want that either.”
“They look scary.”
“It’s more annoying than scary. “Old people meddle in everything for no reason.”
Lee Ji-ryeong’s words contained contempt for those in power.
Those in power in Neo Seoul wanted to control everything.
For that reason, I was always paying close attention to the movements of young awakened people.
Lee Ji-ryeong did not like that reality.
He was young and strong.
Although those in power in Neo Seoul are stronger now, he was confident that he would become much stronger over time.
The problem was power.
Compared to those in power who already had complete control over Neo Seoul’s infrastructure, his power was insignificant.
Of course, it was also unsightly compared to big names like Jin Jin-ho and Xiao Lun.
In reality, it was forming a force that could not be ignored.
Pegasus Attack Force.
It was a group of awakened people totaling 300 people.
Although they said they were a raid team, in reality they had a strong guild tendency.
While the raiding party was a purely armed group made up of awakened people, the guild had many other support people involved.
Because of that, the guild’s power was larger and more extensive.
Flash!
At that moment, a pure white thunderbolt flickered throughout Lee Ji-ryeong’s entire body.
A thunderbolt was emitted.
The sand in the area turned black due to the intense thunderstorm.
Lee Ji-ryeong spoke with lightning wrapped all over his body.
“Survive and prove that you are useful.”
At that moment, an intense thunderbolt was fired at Zeon.
One bundle of thunderbolts was thicker than a human torso.
It was Lightning Spear, one of Lee Ji-ryeong’s skills.
If you are hit hard, your whole body explodes like a firecracker and you die a gruesome death.
At that time, Zeon lightly swung his fist and unleashed a fire missile.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
Dozens of fire missiles collided with the Lightning Spear and exploded.
A feast of fireworks and thunderbolts that colorfully decorate the air.
Two people moved within it.
Lee Ji-ryeong continued to display lightning-type skills.
“Take this too.”
Lightning rained down on Zeon in the shape of a blade.
It was Lightning Blade, one of Lee Ji-ryeong’s main skills.
In response, Xeon unleashed his favorite weapon, Fire Rain.
The blades of fire and electricity clashed and exploded.
bang!
Sparks flew in all directions and bundles of thunderbolts flew out.
The sand burned and splashed.
It was a clash between the lightning-type and flame-type, which are said to be the most powerful of all magic-type skills.
The desert turned upside down and pillars of exploded sand rose high into the sky. And then the sand rained.
The two showed off their skills in the sand rain.
Then suddenly Lee Ji-ryeong spoke.
“You’re not a fire type.”
“what do you mean? “All of a sudden.”
“The flame skills you use are not alive. “It’s just outputting what you input.”
“….”
“Is that right? “This isn’t your natural skill, but you’re getting help from items or something, right?”
Lee Ji-ryeong’s senses were so sharp that they were scary.
Zeon thought while looking at Lee Ji-ryeong like that.
‘It wasn’t chaff.’
Until now, no opponent had noticed that Xeon’s fire skill was due to an item.
Just by noticing that fact, I was able to see how great of an awakener Lee Ji-ryeong was.
Even before Zeon’s awakening, Lee Ji-ryeong entered numerous dungeons, fought to the death, and hunted demonic beasts.
Because I have had so many experiences, my senses are more sensitive than anyone else.
They sense even the slightest sense of discomfort that others would just pass by.
Not all awakened people are strong due to their high level.
Really strong awakeners are those who have honed their skills in a desperate struggle.
Such people may have a low level right now, but someday they will rise to a high level.
Lee Ji-ryeong is also such an awakened person.
There are not many real awakeners in this era.
Lee Ji-ryeong said.
“What are you so afraid of that you keep your true skills hidden?”
“Because it’s more annoying than scary.”
“Do you have that much confidence? “Show it to me.”
“As much as you want…”
Zeon’s eyes and mood changed.
‘It’s real from now on.’
Ji-ryeong Lee felt his shoulders shaking with excitement.
This was the first time I felt this much tension while fighting another awakened person.
Absolutely!
The lightning around his body gradually expanded its scope.
The range increased to ten meters, twenty meters, and thirty meters.
A thunderstorm rained down within a thirty meter radius around him.
A space completely controlled by Lee Ji-ryeong.
Lightning Field was the space for him.
Just randomly releasing lightning like this would consume a huge amount of mana, but Lee Ji-ryeong had enough power to handle it.
Before I knew it, Xeon was also inside the Lightning Field.
Zeon’s expression did not change despite the bundle of lightning flashing frighteningly around his body.
It was then.
An unusually large and thick bolt of lightning struck Zeon.
Zeon was unable to dodge and was hit by a thunderbolt.
If it were a normal awakened person, this attack would have killed him instantly. However, Lee Ji-ryeong knew that Zeon was not an ordinary awakened person, so he did not think that he would be hurt to this extent.
That was actually the case.
Zeon was standing unscathed, without any scorch marks.
A wall of charred sand was built around Zeon.
Just before the thunderstorm hit, a wall of sand was built to block it.
Ji-ryeong Lee opened his eyes wide.
“Did you make a wall out of sand? Are you really a sand magician?”
“yes!”
“Nonsense! There is no way such an ability exists…”
“It exists. That kind of ability…”
Sand swirled around Zeon like a gush.
Ji-ryeong Lee’s face froze as the sandstorm spun around Xeon like a living creature.
“It was real. “There was a real sand wizard.”
Goosebumps appeared all over his body.
I thought that since there were so many awakened people in the world, there might also be sand wizards.
However, this was only an assumption, and this was my first time seeing a sand wizard in real life.
Lee Ji-ryeong held out his hand.
“You come under me. Let’s join hands and rule Neo Seoul. “If you and I join forces, no one will be able to defeat us.”
He did not hide his ambition.
From the moment I awakened, I dreamed of becoming the ruler of Neo Seoul.
It seemed that with his ability, he would quickly reach his goal.
But the reality was not easy.
The awakened people who are currently controlling Neo Seoul were stronger than him and were building up a vast force.
With the forces that Lee Ji-ryeong had currently built, it was impossible to even crack their strong wall.
However, if Zeon had a sand wizard who could manipulate sand at will, it might have been possible.
“Take my hand, Xeon!”
“I refuse. I have no hobby of holding a man’s hand…”
The sand wizard rejected the ambitious man’s offer.
