Sand Mage of the Burnt Desert - Chapter 123
Sand Mage Of The Burnt Desert Chapter 123
Episode 123:
Alexandre was angry.
The reason he led the caravan this far was to make a fair deal.
The items he carried were like the lifeline of the people of Akutsk Colony. Kim Jae-kyung and Brixton tried to rob those precious items using a skill called brainwashing.
It was an act that could not be forgiven.
“I will kill you.”
bang!
His fist slammed into Brixton’s chest.
“Tsk!”
For a moment, Brixton’s face distorted.
This is because a huge shock hit my entire body.
If the heavy armor had not protected him, his breastbone would have been completely caved in.
It was truly enormous power.
Alexandre’s attack was not yet over.
“Chaaa!”
Another powerful blow.
Brixton quickly swung his hammer.
bang!
The fist and the hammer collided, and a metallic sound erupted.
Brixton’s body was pushed back and Alexandro’s body shook.
One is carrying a weapon called a hammer, and the other is bare fisted.
Nevertheless, the side holding the hammer was pushed back.
It was clear who was up and who was down.
But Brixton couldn’t admit it.
“A desert merchant is stronger than me? “It’s impossible.”
In an instant, the black marks disappeared from his eyes.
This was a phenomenon that appeared when his skill, Berserker, was activated.
When the Berserker skill is fully activated, the attack power instantly increases by more than double. Instead, they completely lose their reason and become unable to distinguish between enemy and enemy.
It had to be stopped before that happened.
Kim Jae-kyung shouted.
“You idiot! Don’t activate the skill. “Now is the time to step down.”
But her cry was too late.
The black part of Brixton’s eye had completely disappeared, and the white part was completely red and bloodshot.
The Berserker skill was fully activated.
“kill.”
Brixton lost his temper and lunged at Alexandre with terrifying force.
bang!
This time, Alexandro was pushed back with a binge.
A look of anger appeared on Alexandro’s face after seeing the loss.
It was a moment when he was so angry that he tried to do his best.
“Step back.”
A young voice reached Alexandre’s ears.
The moment he heard the voice, Alexandro retreated immediately without even thinking.
At that moment, Ye’s young voice rang out again.
“Direction Disturb.”
A red light fell on Brixton’s body.
Brixton, who lost his temper, was unable to avoid the light and completely covered it up.
For a moment, Brixton’s senses were disturbed.
Even though there is clearly an opponent in front of you, you cannot decide how to approach them.
A skill that disturbs the opponent’s senses and confuses them.
The effect is doubled for those who enter a berserker state like Brixton and are unable to make sound decisions.
The more Brixton tried to attack Alexandre, the farther away he got.
“Leader!”
“Shit!”
The warriors who came with Brixton called desperately, but he had already left the fort.
Kim Jae-kyung shouted.
“Everyone escape!”
In the end, the Dongdaemun awakeners escaped the caravan with great damage.
“You bastards!”
“Kaaak! “Tsk!”
The victorious White Bear Caravan awakeners were breathing heavily and spitting out phlegm.
Even though they won, their anger did not go away.
Unexpectedly, the person who comforted them while they were giggling was a handsome boy who looked young.
“Thank you all for your hard work. Let’s all calm down our excitement. “This level of confusion was expected anyway.”
For a moment, as if by magic, the White Bear Caravan awakeners regained their senses.
That was one of the powers the boy had.
Although he was the youngest among the White Bear Caravan awakeners, he was more reliable and trustworthy than anyone else.
The boy’s name was Damian.
Alexandro approached Damian and tapped him on the shoulder.
“Good work.”
“Thank you for your hard work. “It’s no big deal.”
Damian smiled, showing his white teeth.
“You know that I will always have your back, right? “I hope he will lead us well in the future.”
“Other people misunderstand when they hear it. “The leader of our caravan is Danju.”
“But we all know that you are the one who is actually leading. “I couldn’t have come this far without you.”
“Don’t talk about that. “Because there are other people too.”
“I get it.”
Only then did Alexandro remember that there were other people in the caravan.
Alexandro’s gaze turned to Zeon and his group who were watching from one side.
Naturally, Damian’s gaze also followed him.
It was at that moment that Damian’s eyes widened as he looked at Zeon and the others.
“brother?”
An unexpected name came out of Damian’s mouth.
“You mean my brother? what are you talking about?”
Alexandro, who was nearby, asked, but Damian did not answer. No, I couldn’t do it.
Because his gaze was fixed on Zeon.
Zeon opened his mouth.
“Damian, it was you.”
“You really are my brother. “I thought I was seeing something, but it was real.”
“I thought I was seeing a mirage too. “It appears so suddenly.”
“haha!”
Damian burst out laughing.
It was a laugh that came out because it was both joyful and absurd.
Because I never imagined that I would really see Zeon here.
I knew that Jeon was from Neo Seoul.
However, Zeon was wandering around the world, and there was no indication of when he would return to Neo Seoul.
Of course, Damien didn’t expect to meet Xeon either.
It was surprising and nice because it was an encounter I didn’t expect at all.
Xeon approached Damian.
“You’ve grown a lot.”
“It’s already been seven years.”
“It’s changed a lot.”
“okay? “Everyone says it’s the same.”
“That’s how it looks to me.”
“Then your guess is correct. Anyway, I’m so glad to see it like this. “Neo, when did you come back to Seoul?”
“It hasn’t been that long.”
“I see. So I guess I didn’t know.”
Damian shook his head.
At that time, Alexandro came to Damian’s side.
“Would you like to introduce it to me too?”
“ah! Hello. I told you this once, right? “I said I met him in the desert seven years ago.”
“ah! It’s him. Nice to meet you. “I am Aleksandr Furtsenko, owner of the White Bear Caravan.”
“This is Xeon.”
Alexandro and Zeon shook hands.
Alexandro scanned Zeon’s whole body with his sharp eyes. But I couldn’t find anything special.
Damian asked Xeon.
“Did you come to buy something too?”
“I just followed this guy to see.”
Zeon pointed to Brielle who was with Eaton and his group. Then Brielle came to Zeon’s side and greeted him.
“My name is Brielle. Nice to meet you!”
“Nice to meet you too. But for some reason, the atmosphere doesn’t seem like an ordinary person.”
“what?”
“It just feels like…”
“That doesn’t look normal either.”
“Then is it the same for both of us?”
Damian chuckled.
On the other hand, Brielle glared at Damian with eyes full of caution.
Fortunately, her eyes were hidden by the conical hat.
‘This man is strange.’
She was a high elf.
Although the drugs had dulled his senses, he still had the unique sense of a high elf.
I felt a strangely reluctant aura from Damian.
There was little chance that she, who was a high elf by name, would be mistaken.
Then Damian said to Alexandre.
“Danju, please just open the third floor to these people. If there is something you need, we give it to you first. “I will take responsibility.”
“I get it. “I will do that.”
Alexandro nodded.
Zeon said to Brielle.
“I’m going to talk to that guy, and you look for something useful.”
“be careful!”
“what?”
“I mean Damian. “I don’t feel good.”
“okay.”
When Zeon nodded, Brielle walked away at a brisk pace.
Xeon said to Damian.
“Shall we take a walk?”
“is it so.”
The two left the fort together and walked on the sand.
The first to speak was Zeon.
“You’re from the Akutsk colony?”
“As you know, I couldn’t go back to the Kamchatka colony. So we had to find another colony.”
Damian is from Kamchatka Colony.
His father, Belov, ran a caravan in the Kamchatka colony, and Damian also had a long history there.
However, due to threats from the other races, Beloff lured Deioden and Zeon into a trap and were killed by the other races.
There was no way to return to the Kamchatka colony.
In the end, Damian had to find a colony other than the Kamchatka colony.
Damian wandered the desert alone.
After wandering around for several months, the place we finally arrived at was Akutsk.
When Damian arrived, Akutsk was ruined, without dreams or hope.
The walls were on the verge of collapsing as the demonic beasts continued to attack day after day, and food, weapons, and resources were in short supply.
It was only a matter of time before the Akutsk colony collapsed.
At that time, the person who suggested the solution was Damien.
They operated a caravan to trade with other colonies and brought the goods they obtained to Akutsk.
It was easy to say, but the process was so difficult that it cannot be expressed in words.
Few people would believe this boy who seemed to be nothing special.
Moreover, the boy was not even born in Akutsk.
Naturally, people distrusted Damien.
The only person who trusted Damian at that time was Alexandro, the owner of the White Bear Caravan.
At the time, Alexandro was the leader of the vigilante force that protected the colony from attacks by demonic beasts.
Even when everyone was in despair, he did not give up hope and fought against the demonic beasts.
I believe that someone will definitely find a breakthrough.
The person who appeared at that time was Damian.
Everyone thought Damian’s words were nonsense, but Alexandro strangely trusted his words.
In the end, Alexandro built a caravan with Damian and that was the beginning of the White Bear Caravan.
Damien showed amazing abilities.
Even in the desert where a compass did not work, he was able to accurately find his way and avoided danger by detecting the movements of the demonic beasts first.
He was fully awakened as a navigator.
His abilities grew stronger as time passed.
In the end, he succeeded in finding another surviving colony far away from the Akutsk colony.
“Honestly, it was hard at first, but it wasn’t that difficult after that. Fortunately, that colony had quite a few items we needed, and our items were also helpful there.”
After successfully completing the first trade, trust in Damian increased significantly.
The White Bear Caravan rapidly increased in size, and the environment in the Akutsk colony also improved further.
The walls were raised higher, and weapons to combat the attacks of demonic beasts were placed on the walls.
Residents have become safer and have a little more freedom in their lives.
“As things happened, I wanted to increase the scale of trade a little more. At that time, I thought of Neo Seoul. “If we can open trade with Neo Seoul, we can grow Akutsk even more.”
“The way there must not have been easy, right?”
“It really wasn’t easy. “The road to Neo Seoul has a different level of risk.”
“I guess so.”
Zeon shook his head.
There are no magical beasts near Neo Seoul. However, if you go beyond the range of anti-magic power, the story is different.
It is swarming with countless demonic beasts.
Among them, there are enormous magical beasts that even high-ranking awakened people cannot handle.
Finding a safe path from all the threats of magical beasts was nearly impossible.
The boy who made the impossible possible was in front of me.
Damian was smiling at Zeon.
That laugh felt oddly ominous.
