Sand Mage Of The Burnt Desert Chapter 126
Episode 126:
Deep!
“Ugh!”
A sharp firing and a scream rang out at the same time.
The owner of the scream rolled around on the floor with a hole in his shoulder.
He was a sleek man without any beard.
A look of embarrassment was evident on his face, wearing a coat that covered his ankles and a fedora.
“Why are you doing this?”
At that moment, the opponent who had punched a hole in his shoulder landed lightly.
She was a beautiful woman with alluring eyes, soft hair fluttering in the wind, and a curvaceous body.
The woman approached brandishing a long spear with an irritated expression on her face.
“Are you asking because you don’t know?”
“No, they suddenly attacked a person who was just walking down the street…”
“Okay?”
“No, I mean…”
“Fuck! Do you really think so? Yesterday, they attacked and killed an awakened person who was walking down the street safely.”
“How do you do that?”
The woman holding the spear laughed as she saw the eyes of the man wearing the fedora shaking.
“Did you think you wouldn’t get caught even if you did something like that in Neo Seoul? “You scavenger bastard!”
“Fuck! Who are you?”
The man jumped up and shouted.
“me? I am a poor civil servant who was put on special duty because of you. Oh, aren’t you a civil servant? Anyway, it’s Mandy who’s having a hard time at night, not because of you. ah! “Now it’s Elogi.”
“Mandy? Elroy? “What are you talking about?”
“Anyway, it’s because of you. “Fuck you, you bastard!”
The woman screaming was Elroy.
The mission given to her was to eliminate the scavengers disturbing Neo Seoul.
As the Scavenger’s troubles continued, City Hall gave a mission to the awakened people.
Other awakened people could choose missions to suit their tastes, but Mandy, who had a contract with City Hall, had no right to refuse.
As a supervisor, my duties were as great as the benefits I received.
That was the reason she was grabbing a man who she thought was a scavenger in the middle of the night.
The man’s name is David O.
He was an ordinary man who lived in the northern district.
At least that’s how it was known to the public. But Ellroy’s findings were different.
He disguised himself as an ordinary office worker, but he was a scavenger.
That is also very evil.
The number of awakened people hunted by this guy has already exceeded five.
If it weren’t for the keen insight of Eloi, a half-elf, it would have been much delayed to find out the true nature of the bastard.
“You’re out of luck to be caught by the city hall hounds.”
“Repeat that you are dead.”
“Do not be ridiculous. “Just kill your bitch and jump out into the desert.”
“Where can I go in the desert? “It would be better for you to get caught by me.”
“joy! Neo Do you think people only live in Seoul? “People live in the desert too.”
“It looks like the Scavenger base is in the desert. “If you blow obediently, I’ll beat you without pain.”
“That’s funny! “You’re saying it doesn’t hurt when you put a hole in someone’s shoulder?”
“Now that I think about it, that was a little harsh on me. I hope you understand. “You know well the joys and sorrows of office workers.”
“I don’t know! “Fuck you.”
“I don’t know? “Then let me know.”
Elroy smiled coolly.
“Let’s do something. “I know who will be easily defeated.”
David took out the weapon he had hidden inside his coat.
Sigh!
The weapon he held in his hand was a metal whip.
It was made of a special material, and when David touched it, it instantly stretched to five meters.
Elroy muttered, looking at the whip in David’s hand.
“Anyway, it’s not easy for you scavengers. “You have to get hit hard to come to your senses.”
“I’m dead!”
At that moment, David’s whip flew at a speed exceeding the speed of sound.
It was a frightening speed that ordinary humans could never detect.
But Elroy was no ordinary human.
Half-elf and Awakened.
Her senses were much more sensitive than those of the average awakened person.
Sigh!
After narrowly avoiding the whip, he rushed towards David.
It was as fast as the whip David wielded.
“Ugh!”
David quickly retrieved his whip and tried to defend himself. But Elroy did not give him a chance to defend himself.
Bah!
Her spear exploded into David’s body.
David screamed in pain as his bones broke and his muscles tore.
“Gagging!”
“Where are you going to kill me? not there yet. Fuck you bastard! “You should be beaten to death.”
Eloy hit David with a spear.
Stabbing her with a spear blade could have taken her life right away, but she didn’t do that.
Her purpose was not to kill David.
To suppress and collect as much information as possible.
For now, all I had to do was hold my breath, so I controlled my strength and pounded hard.
puck! Whoa!
The merciless violence continued for a long time, and by the time the clubbing stopped, David had been chopped up like a piece of meat. Still, he didn’t die.
Elroy said, grabbing David by the collar.
“Now, let’s have a conversation. “Where are you guys based?”
***
The slums were noisy.
Originally, it was quiet as people were not active during the day when the sun was shining hotly, but recently the peace has been broken.
Zeon knew very well that the reason was the White Bear Caravan.
Ever since White Bear Caravan’s fortress was located in the desert outside Neo Seoul, people’s activities have increased.
The appearance of the White Bear Caravan stimulated Neo Seoul and the slums in many ways.
Most of the items released from the White Bear Caravan were items that were not previously available in Neo Seoul.
Such items stimulated people’s curiosity and made them appear on the streets even in broad daylight.
Thanks to this, the slums, which had seemed dead and quiet, were overflowing with vitality for the first time in a long time. However, this atmosphere was not necessarily good.
At the same time, accidents also increased.
“Don’t stand there! “If you get caught, you die.”
“Shit!”
A cat-and-mouse chase took place inside the Goblin Market.
A customer stole something and ran away. However, he was soon caught by the guards of the Goblin Market.
The merchants said as they looked at the man being caught and beaten by the guards.
“These days, the number of such outcasts has increased.”
“If I knew what kind of place the Goblin Market was, I wouldn’t have even dared to try to steal.”
“The water became cloudy after the White Bear Caravan came.”
Zeon heard the merchants talking near the store.
He went to the goblin market because he needed something and saw a commotion.
The item the customer stole was a dagger that came out of the White Bear Caravan.
It was said to be a dagger strengthened by a skillful enchanter.
The enchanter itself was a very rare job, and the dagger material was so good that it was a good option.
It was an increase in penetration power.
As confirmed in the goblin market, the penetration power has improved by at least 30% compared to daggers of the same level.
Items of this size were not easily available on the market.
To some extent, I understood the feelings of the man who stole it.
Of course, this did not apply to Xeon.
Although the items released from the White Bear Caravan were quite nice, they were not enough to interest Zeon.
What Zeon needed was not those weapons.
These were small things needed in daily life.
The awakener of the goblin market took out a small disk from the thief’s arms.
“What is this again? “Where did you steal it from?”
“Fuck! That’s mine. “I bought it in a caravan with my own money.”
“You bastard are lying. “For now, confiscate this.”
“It’s mine! “Give it to me.”
“Where are you talking about you thief?”
The Goblin Market awakeners screamed and attacked the thief.
The thief’s eyes widened and he fought back, but he could not withstand the Goblin Market awakeners.
Zeon shook his head and picked the items again.
At that time, there was someone quietly approaching Zeon.
“There’s no need to buy these things at the goblin market, right?”
The person who spoke naturally was Yoo Se-hee, the head of the Goblin Market.
Behind her was her confidant, the Black Lion.
Zeon said as he handed the money to the merchant.
“But this place is the most reliable.”
“That’s right.”
Yoo Se-hee nodded as if it was obvious.
“So we came this far. how about you?”
“It was noisy outside, so I came out and looked.”
Yoo Se-hee looked at the subdued thief.
The thief was struggling to get back the disk that had been taken away by the Awakening.
Zeon chuckled.
“It seems like it will come up often these days.”
“I see you several times a day. “There are definitely a lot of people coming here.”
“Aren’t they strictly screened based on their original status?”
“Yes, but that doesn’t mean you can completely stop it. “These days, there is a shortage of manpower, so a hole has been created.”
“That’s a bit serious.”
“It’s not serious. It’s all because of White Bear Caravan. “They threw a stone into a quiet pond and caused ripples.”
“That shock wave is quite big. “I’m hearing creaking noises here and there.”
“It’s proof that Neo Seoul is not as perfect as we thought. “If it were perfect, I wouldn’t have been so shaken by this level of shock.”
“That’s true too.”
“It will probably creak a lot in the future. “Because the poison has already been released into the market.”
I was referring to the items unpacked from the White Bear Caravan.
Zeon agreed with him.
“Poison? “I think that’s true.”
“We have to see how far the poison they unleashed will spread. “It’s going to be pretty loud until then.”
“I have to endure something.”
“It’s nice to be carefree. Well, if you’re as capable as you, you probably won’t be affected much by this commotion. “I’m a little jealous.”
“I’m jealous. “I also hate loud noises.”
It was time for Zeon to shrug his shoulders and answer.
Quang!
Suddenly, a huge explosion occurred nearby.
Intense flames and aftereffects swept the area.
“Shit!”
The Black Lion quickly created a shield to protect Yoo Se-hee from the explosion.
Thanks to this, she was able to escape without any injuries.
“what?”
Yoo Se-hee looked at the place where the explosion occurred with a devastated face.
This was the place where they had subdued an awakened person who had stolen something and run away a little while ago.
Not only the awakened person who stole the item, but also the awakened person in the goblin market who had subdued him and the stores in the area were swept away by the explosion and disappeared without a trace.
“What happened? “What on earth happened?”
“It looks like the person who was suppressed exploded.”
“So you’re saying someone exploded? Nonsense.”
“Maybe something he was holding exploded.”
“So…”
Leaving behind Yoo Se-hee, who couldn’t continue speaking, Zeon walked to the place where the explosion occurred.
“Ugh!”
“Ugh! “My leg…”
“Please help me.”
The area where the explosion occurred was reminiscent of chaos.
Many people were injured and groaning in the explosion.
Some had their arms ripped off and others were groaning with large holes in their abdomen.
Zeon’s face hardened as the damage was greater than expected.
Even though they were people who had nothing to do with me, it was still not pleasant to see them dead or injured in front of my eyes.
“This is it.”
Xeon immediately found the source of the explosion.
There was a large pit, and flesh and bones were strewn everywhere.
Remnants of items that appeared to be belongings of the awakened goblin market were also seen.
Among them, what caught Xeon’s attention was a blackened piece of metal. Zeon recognized it as a fragment of the disk that was in the thief’s arms.
Xeon carefully lifted the fragment.
A fragment the size of half a palm was engraved with a pattern of unknown meaning.
“what?”
Yoo Se-hee approached me before I knew it and asked.
“I do not know. Have you ever seen anything like this?”
“no! “It’s my first time seeing it.”
“The reverberation of mana remains strong.”
“what does it mean?”
“It looks like this thing exploded.”
“What is that that explodes like a bomb?”
Zeon couldn’t answer.
This is because he did not know the identity of the object. But I felt like I knew this one thing for sure.
That the person who unlocked this thing was Damian.
‘Damian. You made up your mind to remove the poison.’
