Sand Mage Of The Burnt Desert Chapter 149
Episode 149
“What is that?”
The old man opened his eyes wide.
Damian was clearly human.
Although he wore an item called Prism Armor, his essence was still human. But Damian, who was now standing before his eyes, had changed to the point where he could no longer be called human.
It wasn’t just the appearance that changed.
It felt like my soul itself had changed.
That was actually the case.
The person who borrowed Damian’s body and was resurrected was a demonic beast called Balrog.
An ancient disaster-level demon beast with the nickname Duke of Demon Beasts.
Although it is not as good as a dragon, it is evaluated as being more than capable of surpassing its ferocity.
Because of its ferocity, it is rated higher than dragons in terms of danger.
In fact, a kingdom was destroyed by the appearance of the Balrog.
Because of this, many awakened people and countries joined forces to eliminate Balrog from Kurayan.
Even with all the strength, it was impossible to completely suffocate him. In the end, it was sealed in the crown with the help of the Spirit King.
That was the secret of the Crown, where people believed the Spirit King was sealed.
The Balrog was resurrected through Damien’s body. However, because it had been sealed for too long, its original power was greatly weakened.
Even so, it was giving off a presence that was greater than that of an S-class demon beast.
Everyone froze in fear of the Balrog.
Not only Mariel Borin, but even Queen Serian.
The old man, who had protected his entire body with a barrier, also suffered a psychological blow and was unable to move for a while.
These were the most awakened people in Neo Seoul, so there was no need to mention other awakened people.
The scavengers and awakeners who barely survived were frozen in the Balrog’s pier and could not move.
Fuhuahahaha!
The horrors of hell swept over them.
It was The Eye of Destruction, a Balrog skill comparable to Hellfire.
Everything within the Balrog’s field of vision was within the scope of the Eye of Destruction.
No living thing, neither an awakened nor a demonic beast, could escape from Balrog’s eyes.
Balrog was not called the Demon Beast of Destruction for nothing.
Now that its strength had weakened due to the long seal, it was the perfect opportunity to get rid of it. However, neither Serian nor Mariel dared to attack Balrog.
This is because he was oppressed by the intimidation of the name Balrog.
If I didn’t know Balrog’s identity, I would have attacked him with ease. But they knew about the legend of the Balrog, and the fear ingrained deep in their bones froze them.
“Krrr!”
An even more intense fire appeared in Balrog’s eyes when he discovered them.
When he sees the elves and other races that sealed him, he feels strong hostility.
Sigh!
A long whip appeared in the Balrog’s hand.
The fear of hell bloomed through the whip.
It was a flame whip, the Balrog’s weapon.
This flame whip was the weapon that differentiated Balrog from other magical beasts.
Most magical beasts instinctively use their natural bodies and skills.
There is no need to study or use tools.
But Balrog is different.
Think and research how you can make yourself stronger. So the hand-held flame whip was born.
He condensed the innate fear of hell and made it into the form of a whip.
Of course, its power was beyond imagination.
Bye!
Balrog swung his flame whip at Serian and others.
The whip containing the terror of hell flew past the speed of sound.
Serian, who came to his senses belatedly, quickly unleashed his skills.
“Seven overlap shield!”
It was Serian’s unique defense skill that spread seven shields overlapping each other.
Fortunately, the shield was deployed in time to block the whip.
Whoops!
But the price was terrible.
As many as six of the seven overlapping shields were shattered by a single flame whip.
Fortunately, the last shield held up and saved their lives, but the enormous impact hit Serian, Mariel Borin, and others.
“Hmph!”
“Oops!”
Mariel and Borin knelt down, coughing up blood, and Serian’s complexion also turned pale.
Serian quickly tried to switch from defensive to offensive.
Although she was overpowered by the appearance of Balrog, she was also an S-class awakened person.
Although it is not enough to compete head-on with the Balrog, it still possesses a power that cannot be ignored.
If he were to use his skills officially, he had enough skills to take out at least one of his own bodies.
The problem is that the Balrog doesn’t give her any leeway.
bang! bang!
The Balrog struck repeatedly with his whip.
At the right time, Serian unfolded the Seven Overlap Shield.
“Come on, come to your senses. “If things continue like this, everyone will suffer.”
She shouted at Mariel and Borin.
But they did not come to their senses easily.
Serian was unable to get out because he was protecting them. So we had no choice but to be on the defensive even more.
“oh my god! “That kind of demon exists.”
The old man froze when he saw that scene.
Balrog was the first magical beast to appear.
No one in Neo Seoul, including him, had ever seen a magical beast like Balrog.
Of course, I didn’t have any information about him.
However, it was not necessary to know the information to know the strength of the opponent.
Just by looking at it, I could see how powerful the Balrog was.
It was then.
Wow!
When the shield did not break, Balrog exploded with anger and roared. Then a huge firestorm broke out and swept the area.
Old Man Go, who was inside the barrier, escaped the effects of the fire storm, but the three awakened members of the shadow unit who followed him did not enjoy the same luck.
“Aaaah!”
“Save me…”
“Ugh!”
They were swept away by the extremely high-temperature firestorm and instantly disappeared into a handful of ash.
It was the same for everyone else.
The scavengers and awakeners who barely saved their lives melted away.
The old man’s expression hardened when he saw that scene.
“oh my god!”
The ultra-high heat melted all the sand in the area and turned it smooth.
It was this powerful even though it had not fully regained its strength yet, but there was no way to estimate how formidable it would be when it regained its full strength.
Still, one thing was clear.
“If he heads to Neo Seoul, a big disaster will happen.”
Balrog was a magical beast that could ignore Neo Seoul’s anti-magic power. Unlike low-level magical beasts, it is not affected by Neo Seoul’s anti-magic power.
It was clear that if such a Balrog invaded Neo Seoul, a catastrophe would occur. The Balrog had to be captured before that.
At that time, the angry Balrog burst into flames once again.
Wow!
At that moment, a powerful light burst out from Balrog’s entire body.
The light reached Neo Seoul in an instant.
Puzzle!
“Ugh!”
“what?”
Cha Jin-cheol and the mechanized awakeners who were camped in the slums on the outskirts of Neo Seoul groaned.
This is because the machine, exposed to the light emitted by the Balrog, sparked and stopped.
Cha Jin-cheol muttered, looking at his arm with sparks flying.
“what? “What happened?”
A huge wall of flames appeared around the fortress.
Because of that, he could not know the situation inside the fortress from where he was.
“Did an EMP occur?”
As if to prove his guess, the power supply to the slum area was cut off.
As a result, all the lights in the slum went out and darkness came.
The old man muttered after seeing the scene.
“I can’t help it. “I didn’t mean to do this.”
He was never an altruistic person.
If that were the case, he would not have been able to function as a member of the execution squad. However, he was not a person so bad that he would sit idly by even though he knew that many people would die.
We had to buy time before the Balrog went to Neo Seoul.
Fortunately, he had that level of ability.
“Ha!”
A huge barrier was created along with the spirit.
The barrier swallowed him, Balrog, and everything in the area.
I didn’t know how long the barrier could hold, but I thought it could buy time until other awakeners from Neo Seoul arrived. But there was something else he believed in.
‘Xeon!’
It was Zeon, a man floating in the air using floating sand as a stepping stone.
Zeon was looking at Damian.
There was no trace of humanity anymore in Damian’s appearance.
The body, perfectly fused with the prism armor, became large and strong enough to accept the Balrog’s soul, and ultra-high-temperature flames were flowing from its eyes and mouth.
The human ego disappeared and the powerful soul of the demonic beast took up residence within.
That’s how Damian became a complete Balrog.
Damian already knew this would happen.
From the moment I obtained the Spirit King’s Crown and Prism Armor.
He used these even though he knew that he would eventually become a Balrog.
That is how great his hatred towards elves and other races was.
Everything that made up the human Damian disappeared, but his hatred grew even stronger as he merged with the Balrog.
Wow!
The Balrog burst into flames once again. Then a very high-temperature firestorm broke out.
However, the fire storm was blocked by the old man’s barrier and had no effect on the outside.
“Ugh!”
The old man’s expression was distorted by the enormous impact inflicted on the barrier. He said to Zeon, forcefully swallowing the blood rising up his throat.
“We have to stop him. If he escapes the barrier, disaster will strike Neo Seoul.”
The old man’s expression was desperate.
He was determined not to let Balrog out at any cost.
“after!”
Zeon sighed and nodded.
Whatever the circumstances, Damian chose to become a Balrog.
It’s not that I don’t know his deep-rooted hatred towards other races, but that doesn’t mean I can’t let him trample on Neo Seoul as a Balrog.
When the Balrog invaded, the area that suffered the most damage was the slum where he lived.
At the very least, he had to prevent his home from being destroyed.
At that time, Borin shot an arrow at Balrog.
It was Nylia’s bow purchased at an auction here.
As expected from the bow used by the elf hero Nylia, its power was formidable.
Sigh!
It was enough to penetrate the Balrog’s skin. However, the clumsy attack only made Balrog angry.
Huh!
The Balrog swung his flame whip.
The flame whip that broke the speed of sound struck Borin.
bang!
Borin couldn’t even scream and flew backwards.
At least I didn’t get seriously hurt because I blocked the flame whip with Nalia’s bow, but my body stiffened and couldn’t move due to the shock.
The flame whip flew towards Borin again.
“Borin!”
Serian tried to save Borin, but he couldn’t outrun the Balrog’s flame whip.
Borin, who had a premonition of fate, closed his eyes tightly.
‘Shit!’
Pow!
At that moment, air burst out in front of Borin.
The flame whip failed to reach Borin and hit the space right in front of him.
It felt like my face was going to get cooked from the extreme heat, but I was able to save my life by not taking a direct hit.
“what?”
Borin cautiously opened his eyes.
At that moment, she saw a man blocking her path.
Although it was only a back view, Borin immediately recognized the man’s identity.
“Xeon?”
Grrrr!
A blazing flame whip was held in Zeon’s right hand, wearing a fiery gauntlet.
“I will deal with you from now on. Damian! No, Balrog!”
Wow!
The enraged Balrog attacked Xeon.
At that moment, numerous streams of sand were shot towards the Balrog.
