Sand Mage Of The Burnt Desert Chapter 117
Episode 117
“Why? Even after awakening such a rare ability, do you still have no ambition? “What a disappointment!”
A look of contempt appeared on Ji-ryeong Lee’s face.
The type of people he hated the most were those who lived each day meaninglessly without ambition.
It wouldn’t matter if you didn’t have the ability, but it was really the worst for someone with the ability to waste time like that.
In that respect, Xeon was the worst type.
At least from Lee Ji-ryeong’s standards.
Nevertheless, the reason he couldn’t give up his regrets was because Zeon’s awakening ability was so deceptive.
‘The ability to manipulate sand at will.’
Most of the world was covered with sand.
Because of sand, human territory could no longer expand.
The same goes for Neo Seoul.
They were barely occupying the land of old Seoul and could not even dare to advance outside in earnest.
In this land barely the size of your palm, you were fighting over whether you were better or I was better.
Lee Ji-ryeong was horrified by this reality. However, there was no way, so I just ignored it until now.
But things have changed.
It’s because of the man right in front of me.
As long as we had Zeon, we could expand Neo Seoul’s territory as much as possible.
There is a possibility that humans will become masters of the Earth again.
So I couldn’t give up on Xeon.
“My offer still stands.”
“My answer is still valid.”
“You disappoint me to the end. Xeon! If so, I will force you into submission.”
Even before he finished speaking, the lightning field expanded further.
Now, lightning flashed around him fifty meters away.
No matter where I looked around, lightning was flashing.
“Chaaa! Giga Lightning Spear!”
A thunderbolt of immense thickness, incomparable to anything seen before, hit Zeon.
Zeon took sandy steps to avoid Lee Ji-ryeong’s attack.
In a split second, a huge thunderbolt exploded where he was.
The sand exploded, creating a huge pit over five meters deep.
It was truly formidable power.
However, Zeon’s expression did not change at all and he snapped his fingers. Then, sand from the area shot towards Lee Ji-ryeong like a stream of water.
It was a high-pressure sand blaster.
Bubble bubbling!
However, the sand blaster exploded without being able to pass through the flickering membrane of lightning around Lee Ji-ryeong.
“It’s impossible. “Your abilities are great, but you can’t do anything to me with that level of attack power.”
Lee Ji-ryeong laughed at Jeon.
Zeon also smiled.
“Then, shall we increase the power a little?”
“what?”
Gaaaaa!
At that moment, the sand around where Lee Ji-ryeong was standing began to rotate at an alarming speed.
Sand Mixer, one of Xeon’s skills, was unleashed.
The sand, spinning at a speed so frightening it was invisible to the eye, swallowed Lee Ji-ryeong in an instant.
Ji-ryeong Lee quickly tried to get out of the sand, but the enormous pressure was crushing him and he was unable to use his strength.
“this!”
Kwakagagak!
All you see is sand.
A dizzying sense of isolation and crisis, as if the whole thing had been put into a blender, came over Lee Ji-ryeong.
It was clear that if trapped in the rotating sand like this, no matter how huge the beast, its flesh would be torn apart and its bones crushed.
But Lee Ji-ryeong was not a magical beast.
He was not an ordinary awakened person.
It was the closest being to the Thunder God.
“Huh! Lightning Wave!”
Along with the excitement, lightning waves surged around his body.
The first wave of lightning struck the sand mixer, followed by the second, third, and fourth waves of lightning that swept past.
All the sand that was spinning at such an incredible speed burned and scattered, and Lee Ji-ryeong regained his freedom.
Lee Ji-ryeong, who got out of the sand, immediately tried to counterattack.
In his eyes, he saw sand soldiers standing up around Zeon.
Xeon had summoned the Sand Soldier.
Lee Ji-ryeong burst out laughing at the sight of more than a dozen Sand Soldiers.
“under! Isn’t this a scam? Make soldiers out of sand?”
“Your abilities are deceptive enough, aren’t they?”
“So, a volume offensive is also possible. “I really want this.”
Ji-ryeong Lee licked his lips with his tongue.
If you want to defeat Xeon, you have to do everything you can.
If that happens, one of them will definitely die.
It was a problem if he died, but it was also a problem if Zeon died.
“good! “I’ll end this today.”
“Wasn’t this the end?”
“Why are you and I not even enemies of Cheolcheon?”
“You are your brother’s enemy, aren’t you?”
“That kid was trash. It’s a bastard that can’t even be recycled. A big accident happened in Neo Seoul, so I barely managed to sort it out and told him to hide quietly. But I couldn’t stand it anymore and had an accident again. Then I tripped and fell. That kid was always like that. Accidents occurred constantly and I took care of them. Just because we are born with the same blood. I’ve done enough. “I don’t want to lie down and get revenge on that idiot.”
“That’s cold.”
“Because that is the world we can live in. “Ability is more important than blood, and you can only survive for a long time if you maintain good relationships with strong awakeners.”
Lee Ji-ryeong took the Lightning Field.
The thunderstorm that covered the area disappeared without a trace.
I no longer felt any hostility from Ji-ryeong Lee.
I couldn’t tell if his words were sincere or not, but at least it was clear that he wasn’t hostile to Zeon right now.
Lee Ji-ryeong said.
“Xeon!”
“Speak.”
“I will forget the grudge I held for killing my younger brother. “There will no longer be anyone looking to kill you.”
“Thank you.”
“You owe me. “Don’t forget that fact.”
“Can that also be called a debt? Rather, I think you owe me something.”
“You can think whatever you want. Just remember that our relationship is no longer hostile.”
Lee Ji-ryeong was completely self-centered.
Lee Ji-ryeong’s attitude was absurd, but Zeon didn’t say anything more.
I tried to suture it, but I didn’t want to open the wound.
Absolutely!
A thunderbolt flickered beneath Ji-ryeong Lee’s feet.
“John is the one who gave me your information.”
“It was him, after all.”
“okay! You incited me to kill you. be careful. Because that old man can do anything to achieve his goal.”
“I know.”
“Then see you next time.”
Pow!
At that moment, a flash of lightning exploded beneath Ji-ryeong Lee’s feet.
The momentum of the explosion instantly sent Lee Ji-ryeong flying far into the sky.
Zeon muttered as he watched Ji-ryeong Lee disappear like a flash.
“It’s like the god of thunder!”

“are you okay?”
When he returned home, Brielle was the first to greet him.
“Oh, it’s okay!”
“really?”
Brielle couldn’t believe it and walked around Zeon.
It was only after seeing for herself that Zeon was not injured at all that Brielle breathed a sigh of relief.
“phew! thank god.”
Then Levin asked cautiously:
“How was he? brother!”
“You’re strong.”
“Compared to me?”
Levin’s eyes were shining more intensely than ever.
Zeon immediately recognized that the emotion in his eyes was a desire to win.
“There is no comparison yet.”
“Is it… that much?”
“okay!”
“Tsk!”
Levin’s face distorted.
It was something I had already felt, but hearing it through Zeon’s mouth made me feel even more miserable.
“But if you are of the same level, you will be much stronger.”
“Really?”
“okay! “Because you have abilities that he doesn’t have.”
“Specter ghost painting?”
“that’s right! “If you develop that ability well, you will definitely be able to surpass Lee Ji-ryeong someday.”
“all right.”
Levin nodded.
‘I’m still young. There’s a lot of room left to grow.’
I definitely realized this while dealing with vampire bats.
That his abilities are fraudulent.
It also means that you can grow further depending on your efforts.
It was only C level now.
When you become B or A later, it will be different from now.
He hoped that at that time he would be able to properly fight against Lee Ji-ryeong, who brought him despair.
Zeon thought it went well.
This is because it was a clear motivation for Levin.
Nothing helps you grow more than having a goal you want to surpass.
With today’s incident as an opportunity, Levin will grow faster.
Zeon took off his robe and sat down on the sofa.
Quite a lot has happened in just a few days.
It wasn’t physically difficult, but mentally it was quite tiring.
Levin sat down on the sofa and rested.
Levin and Brielle did not touch Zeon.
Levin went out to run errands, and Brielle went into her room and laid out the ingredients she had bought today.
‘I will definitely succeed this time.’
Brielle immediately immersed herself in alchemy.

“So Zeon returned safely?”
“That’s right.”
“Are you sure? “Aren’t you seeing it wrong?”
“I saw it with my own eyes.”
Yohan frowned heavily at Kim Jae-kyung’s answer.
“Then what about Lee Ji-ryeong?”
“It was confirmed that he entered Neo Seoul.”
“He just entered Neo Seoul?”
“That’s right.”
“Didn’t you say you two met?”
“yes!”
“But how can you two come back safely?”
John slammed his fist on the desk.
It was Yohan who gave Lee Ji-ryeong information about Zeon.
Lee Ji-ryeong was a recognized strongman even within Neo Seoul.
The only known estimated grade was Class B.
Since a long time has passed since then, he may have become Class A by now.
He was a superpower that even John could not ignore.
He incited the resentment of such a superpower and encouraged them to meet.
John naturally thought that the two would have a big fight and get hurt or die.
It was okay for Zeon to die, and it was okay for Lee Ji-ryeong to get hurt.
If Zeon dies, they will naturally advance to Sinchon, and even if he wins, if he is seriously injured, they can step in and kill him.
Either way, John had nothing to lose.
But all his plans went awry.
I don’t know what happened, but both people returned safely to their respective residences.
“Are you sure that the two of you fought?”
“I don’t know. “It disappeared into the desert in an instant.”
“It’s useless. “This wasn’t what I expected from you.”
“sorry.”
Kim Jae-kyung trembled.
A fearful look appeared on her face.
When John was kind, he seemed like a saint, but when he got angry, he was a human being who could become crueler than the devil.
If you incur his wrath, no matter how much of a henchman you are, you will not be safe.
To Yohan, subordinates were like mass-produced products that could be produced at any time.
Although Kim Jae-kyung’s abilities were somewhat special, that did not mean that there were no substitutes.
“Find out for sure what happened in the desert and find a way to deal with this guy.”
“All right.”
“We must take control of Sinchon. Only then can we spread the Lord’s teachings throughout Neo Seoul.”
There was deep madness in John’s eyes behind the glasses.
He approached the window.
I could see the towering city hall in the distance.
“I will definitely put a cross on the top of that city hall building.”
