Sand Mage Of The Burnt Desert Chapter 151
Episode 151
: Crrr!
A huge sword was piercing the Balrog’s chest.
It was a sword made of pitch black diamond.
Zeon changed sand into diamond by applying ultra-high heat and enormous pressure with the power of the Gauntlet of Super Heat.
It was a miracle possible because Zeon could manipulate sand and flame at will.
The black diamond sword pierced straight through the Balrog’s chest.
If he wanted to, Balrog could also avoid Xeon’s attacks. However, for some reason, I did not dodge at the last moment and was directly hit by Zeon’s attack.
Drip!
Balrog blood flowed down the black diamond sword.
The Balrog stood blankly like a mannequin, staring at the diamond sword that pierced his chest.
Zeon spoke to the Balrog.
“Damian! Is it you? “The one that held the Balrog at the last moment.”
At that moment, Balrog turned his head and looked at Zeon.
The Balrog said nothing.
Damian’s face appeared overlaid on the Balrog’s face.
His face looked as if he was nodding yes.
“You can’t be a complete villain either.”
Crrr!
Instead of answering, the Balrog let out a pained groan.
The eyes looking at Zeon were full of disbelief, as if he couldn’t believe his own death.
The flames flowing from the Balrog’s eyes and mouth grew stronger.
The flames began to burn the Balrog’s body from the inside.
They burn themselves as if they will leave no trace in this world.
Zeon looked at that scene in silence.
The Balrog’s mighty body turned into ashes and scattered.
Just like that, Balrog and Damian disappeared without leaving a trace of themselves in this world.
It’s as if it never existed from the beginning.
At that moment, the world changed.
The old man broke the barrier.
The lava river and volcanic area that seemed to overflow at any moment disappeared without a trace, like a mirage.
Instead, what Zeon saw was a vast, endless desert. And I saw Neo Seoul standing tall in the distance.
“Huh! “Huh!”
The old man was panting as if he would run out of breath at any moment.
I used all my strength to maintain the barrier.
If Zeon had been a little late in defeating Balrog, he would not have been able to maintain the barrier until the end.
Although he was so tired that it was difficult to stand on his own two legs, the old man straightened his back and stood up.
This is because the Elf Queen, Eli, and Borin are alive and well.
‘It was definitely called Elharun.’
A city founded by different races that came to Earth.
Even though I was a close associate of the mayor for a long time, I had never once heard of the existence of such a city.
If Mayor Jin Geum-ho had known, he would have known too.
In that case, it meant that the content of the conversation that took place within this barrier was a top secret that even Jin Geum-ho did not know about.
‘Those sneaky elves will not stand by and let the secrets they have kept hidden until now leak out.’
I couldn’t relax because I didn’t know if I made a mistake, I might have to fight with the elves.
At that time, Serian approached Zeon.
“after! thank you for your effort. Thanks to this, we were able to prevent a major disaster.”
“Thank you for your added strength.”
“A sand wizard. I couldn’t even imagine it. “I never thought an awakened person with such abilities would exist.”
“I never thought I would meet the Queen of the North District.”
“It’s a shameful nickname. “Shouldn’t we talk more than that?”
“You mean El Harun?”
“That too…”
Serian trailed off.
The leak of Elharun’s location could not be prevented.
The only way to keep the secret was to kill Zeon and Old Man Go, but neither of them had the confidence to handle the repercussions.
‘It was a fact that would become known someday anyway.’
El Harun was not an easy place to find even if you roughly knew its location.
Because it is protected by various magic circles and barriers, it can never be found unless you are a navigator like Damian.
Even if they somehow find it, the defense system has already been completed, so unauthorized people will never be able to enter.
However, until now, the secret had been kept strictly in case of an emergency.
You can’t pick up leaked secrets anyway. However, he couldn’t kill Zeon and Old Man Go.
It would have been easier to recruit Zeon.
The ability to manipulate sand at will in a deserted world.
‘The possibilities for interest are truly endless. We must make it on our side.’
We will have to pay a considerable price to attract Xeon, but we can afford it.
It was then.
“You’re not saying you’re going to bear interest, are you?”
Eli sensed this and stopped Serian before he could say anything.
“Eli!”
“That’s not possible.”
“Are you saying that because you know who brought you to this point?”
“I am sorry about that. But we cannot allow humans into our territory. Our northern sector is the final cradle of the fallen Kurayan peoples.”
Eli’s eyes were bloodshot.
Those red, bloodshot eyes were full of hostility toward Zeon.
“We must kill them now to silence them. “That is the only way for our poor race.”
Serian exploded with anger at her remarks that crossed the line.
“stop it. Because of your dogmatism, precious elites have lost their lives. How many more people have to die before you will be satisfied? And do you think you can handle him?”
“Queen?”
“Please come to your senses. The world is not kind to us and not easy enough for us to do as we please. Whether we like it or not, we have to live in compromise with the people in this world. “Why don’t you admit that?”
“So you’re saying you’re going to side with that human?”
“That’s not what you mean.”
“If not that, then what?”
“ha! I can’t speak at all. Eli! “All your privileges are being revoked for the time being.”
“Queen!”
“It’s an order. “If you refuse, you will be deprived not just temporarily, but permanently.”
“….”
Only then did Eli close his mouth.
Serian’s position in the northern sector was as strong as an iron fortress.
With just one command from her, everything Eli owned disappears like a mirage. That’s why she also tenaciously tried to take Serian’s position.
Serian sighed lightly and looked at Zeon.
But by then, Zeon had already moved away from her.
Before I knew it, Zeon was with the old man.
“Are you okay?”
“It’s not okay.”
“You had a hard time.”
“You suffered more than me. It’s even greater than that. “I can’t believe you captured Balrog.”
“Thanks to everyone for their help.”
“is it? “I don’t think it was of much help, but I appreciate it if you think so.”
“It was a great help.”
“What about the twin sisters? “I sent you to stop you.”
“I just gave him a lesson that he shouldn’t look into other people’s heads and sent him away.”
“Thank you!”
Old Man Go sighed in relief.
The twin sisters were like his biological granddaughters.
If I had known that Zeon was an awakened person with this much power, I would never have sent them away.
“You can say it in return, but I keep my mouth shut about a place called Elharun.”
Old Man Go deliberately spoke loudly so that Serian could hear.
He imposed debt on them so that they could not move carelessly.
“However, I don’t think you can hide the fact that you are a sand wizard. “If you want to convince the mayor how you destroyed the Balrog, you have to tell him the truth about your abilities.”
“Please do so. “I didn’t think I could hide it until the end anyway.”
“The mayor will send someone soon.”
“Let’s wait.”
Zeon nodded.
There was no way Jin Geum-ho, the mayor, would not have known about something so big.
‘We had to meet at some point anyway.’
Zeon thought so and looked at the place where the Balrog disappeared.
Balrog Damian disappeared without leaving a trace of himself in this world. The only legacy he left behind was the location of El Harun.
In order to find out, he risked everything and lived with the intensity of a flame until it oxidized.
Zeon thought that he would never be able to forget Damian.
＊＊＊
The rumor that the White Bear Caravan had summoned the Balrog quickly spread throughout Neo Seoul.
City Hall organized a chase team and began tracking down the remnants of the White Bear Caravan.
I don’t know why, but summoning Balrog near Neo Seoul was a major incident that could never be forgiven.
However, the tracking team failed to catch the remnants.
The survivors of the White Bear Caravan were all skilled at surviving in the desert.
Moreover, they had a navigator named Ellen.
Although he was not as good as Damian, he still had the ability to navigate and navigate the desert.
Thanks to Ellen, the survivors of the White Bear Caravan were able to shake off their pursuers and gather at the confluence point.
“Danju!”
“You got out safely.”
There were young men greeting Alexandre and his men.
Ellen and Jack.
They were the awakened people who left the fortress before Alexandre.
“Everyone was safe. thank god.”
A smile appeared on Alexandro’s face after checking the safety of the two people.
Ellen was a navigator and Jack was a subspace owner.
All of the magic stones that White Bear Caravan purchased from Neo Seoul were stored in Jack’s subspace.
This magic stone will become the lifeline of Akutsk Colony.
Although it was a pity to lose Damien, I believed that these two people would fill his void.
Alexandro said as he hugged them.
“Let’s go back now! “Akutsk, our hometown.”
“yes!”
It was clear that it would be a difficult road.
Damian, who had been guiding them safely, was not there, and the number of people was reduced to one-tenth.
Still, there was hope for them.
What they obtained in Neo Seoul wasn’t just magic stones.
While staying in Neo Seoul, they did their best to collect Neo Seoul items.
Objects that combine magic and science.
A small horsepower generator that was obtained with difficulty from common items such as a magic light and a car refrigerator.
Among them, the usefulness of the horsepower generator cannot be expressed in words.
By researching this, Akutsk Colony will be able to generate electricity reliably like Neo Seoul.
Since I had obtained a sufficient amount of magic stones, it was a worthy attempt.
This small magic power generator was more valuable than the items obtained by conquering dozens of dungeons.
Alexandro and the survivors set off while protecting Ellen and Jack.
Unlike when they came to Neo Seoul, they had no suitable means of transportation.
I had to walk to Akutsk on my own two feet. Still, no one complained.
Because it was something I had already decided to do.
How long did it take to walk like that?
Ellen’s face suddenly hardened.
“I detect a demon ahead.”
“Demon beast?”
“Shit! Move under the sand. It must be a sandworm.”
“Sandworm. “Get behind me.”
Alexandro hurriedly hid Ellen and Jack behind him.
Cuckoo!
I could see the sand moving in the distance.
Just as Ellen said, a huge sandworm is approaching at an alarming speed.
The sandworm that came up on the ground was no match for him. The problem is that the sandworm moves underground.
The sandworm, which moves using thick sand as a shield, was quite a burdensome opponent.
At that time, the sandworm suddenly stopped moving.
“What kind of trick is this?”
Gaaaa!
At that moment, the sand around the place where the sandworm stopped rotated violently.
The sand rotated at an incredible speed and ground the sandworms like a blender.
Wow!
The sandworm’s roar rang out.
That was the end of Sandworm.
“why?”
At that time, Alexandro saw a man standing on a high sand dune in the distance.
Alexandro immediately recognized the man’s identity.
“J…on?”
The only sand wizard in the Burnt Desert.
Zeon disappeared as if he had done his job by killing the sandworm.
