Sand Mage of the Burnt Desert - Chapter 167
Sand Mage Of The Burnt Desert Chapter 167
Episode 167:
The awakened people quickly got out of the car and looked in the direction from which the dust cloud was rising.
“what?”
“Suddenly, some kind of magical beast…”
“Was there a magical beast habitat around here?”
The puzzled voices of the awakened people came out from all over.
This place was three days away from the magicite mine.
Because the magic beasts were periodically subdued in the magic crystal mine, there were no large groups of magic beasts around here.
Of course, the awakened people were also relaxed to some extent.
But now a huge cloud of dust was rising.
A small number of magical beasts could never have created such a dust cloud.
This was a phenomenon that only occurred when a large group of demonic beasts moved.
Lee Ji-ryeong shouted.
“Everyone prepare for battle.”
“Ready for battle.”
The Pegasus raiding party took out their weapons and prepared for battle.
Cha Jin-cheol gave an order with a wry smile.
“All you have to do is wipe out that group of demonic beasts in one go. Everyone go to the front lines.”
“yes!”
With the answer, the awakened people from the west area came out to the front line.
Levin said with a puzzled expression.
“Didn’t most of the awakened people in the western sector replace their bodies with machines? No matter how you look at them, they look like ordinary people.”
As he said, the awakened people in the west area who took the lead did not look that different from the other awakened people.
Mandy said to Levin.
“That’s true for awakened people below Class D. There are also cases where awakened people of C rank or higher intentionally expose their mechanized parts. But they can never be active in the desert for long.”
“Because of the sand?”
“that’s right. The desert sand is fatal to mechanized awakeners. So they mainly work only within Neo Seoul. That is also the limitation of the western district.”
“Then what about them?”
“They are all C-rank or higher awakened people, and they have artificial skin covered over their mechanized parts to make them suitable for operating in the desert.”
“ah!”
“They are less powerful than fully mechanized awakeners, but they can operate in the desert for a long time.”
This was the reason why the western area awakeners who participated in the Pegasus attack party maintained an appearance no different from ordinary humans.
Still, they were powerful.
Their strength was that their bodies were incomparably stronger than those of ordinary awakened people.
That’s why they came out in the front row.
It performs the role of a tank that blocks the enemy’s rush with its strong body.
Doo doo doo!
As the demonic beasts approached, I felt a strong vibration beneath my feet.
The silhouettes of the demonic beasts were visible through the thick clouds of dust.
“That one?”
“what? “Two heads?”
The awakened people at the forefront were surprised to see the silhouettes of the demonic beasts.
Coooo!
At that moment, the true nature of the demonic beasts was revealed through the dust.
It was a cow.
A huge cow with two heads and four horns.
Its body was shiny as if it were armored with iron armor, and its four legs were as big and thick as iron pillars.
Zeon muttered after confirming the true identity of the cow.
“Twin-head buffalo.”
“That’s a buffalo? Nonsense.”
Brielle muttered with an expression of boredom.
The height of the buffalo that appeared was over three meters. It had a size and enormous mass that could crush an ordinary human to death in an instant.
The problem is that there are more than one twin-headed buffalo.
Hundreds and thousands of them were flocking toward the Pegasus attack force like waves.
Quang!
“Kaaak!”
“Oops!”
A groan came out from the mouths of the awakened people in the western area who were at the forefront with great momentum.
It was impossible to handle the shock of not just one or two, but hundreds of animals colliding at once.
Kwazijic!
Bye!
The limbs hit by the horns of the twin-headed buffalo were broken and the back was broken.
A few awakened people seemed to hold out for a moment, but were quickly swept away by the Twin Head Buffalo’s gallop.
This was the fear of the beasts that lived in packs like twin-headed buffalo.
A small number of awakened people can never stop their rush.
The only way is to bombard them and disintegrate them before they pass through the awakened people.
“Shit! “Hurry up and attack.”
“All-out attack.”
The Pegasus raiding party and mercenaries waiting behind the awakeners in the western area fired their skills at once.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
A massive attack rained down on a herd of twin-headed buffalo.
Wow!
Mmmmm!
Twin-headed buffaloes fell in a heap. However, it was only a small portion of the entire herd of twin-headed buffalo.
Those who survived rushed to the center of the Pegasus attack team with terrifying momentum.
“dare!”
At that moment, Lee Ji-ryeong and the elites came out.
Absolutely!
Lightning flickered throughout Lee Ji-ryeong’s entire body.
Dozens of twin-headed buffaloes hit by the thunderbolts he unleashed were charred and collapsed.
The attack team led by Bronson captured the Twin Head Buffalo one by one. But the twin-headed buffalo were incredibly numerous and still remain in untold numbers.
bang! bang!
Heavy vehicles were pushed aside or destroyed by the twin-headed buffalo’s mass barrage.
“It won’t work.”
Finally, Levin could no longer bear it and jumped into the battlefield.
A purple thunderbolt was fired at the Twin Head Buffalo.
Oomma!
The twin-headed buffalo fell down with a mournful cry. Another twin-headed buffalo trampled over the body of the fallen twin-headed buffalo.
With the rising sand and the screams of the people and the cries of the twin-headed buffalo, the venue was reminiscent of hell.
Elroy’s personality came out to protect Mandy.
“Fuck! “Cow calves.”
She rushed into the battlefield, wielding a crazy nine-tailed fox.
Zeon took Brielle and climbed onto the high transport vehicle.
This is because, unlike Mandy and Levin, Brielle had almost no fighting ability. However, even though it was a transport vehicle, it was not safe.
bang! bang!
Twin-headed buffaloes continued to collide with the vehicle, crushing it and pushing it backwards.
Brielle asked Zeon in surprise.
“and! It’s crazy. “Do you always flock around like this?”
“I’ve seen groups of hundreds of animals, but this is my first time seeing a flock of more than a few thousand.”
Zeon frowned and watched the Twin Head Buffaloes running wild.
The twin-headed buffalo is a meat-eating beast, but it has a fundamentally sound disposition.
This means that there is no need to attack the opponent first unless you are hungry.
Also, when the group grows beyond a certain level, a new leader appears and becomes independent.
Anything more than that would make it difficult for the leader of the group to lead.
The limit was about three to four hundred animals.
However, at first glance, the number of twin-headed buffalo that had attacked the Pegasus raiding party exceeded several thousand.
It’s like at least ten groups have come together.
This was something that could never have happened due to the physiology of a twin-headed buffalo.
‘When something impossible happens, there must be a cause.’
That was the reason why Xeon had not entered the battlefield yet.
Zeon looked around with keen eyes.
A cloud of sand rose up and obscured the view, but it was meaningless to Zeon.
The hazy sand particles were conveying information to Zeon.
Zeon’s eyes, which were scanning the surroundings, suddenly turned to the sky.
At that moment, a creature wandering in the air appeared in his eyes.
Bleep!
They were making cries that the human ear could never hear.
Every time, the twin-headed buffaloes ran wild and ran wild.
Zeon said to Brielle.
“Can I be alone?”
“of course. Don’t worry about me. “Because I can protect my own body.”
“Then let’s go.”
At that moment, a sandstorm blew and carried Zeon’s body.
His figure rose high into the sky in an instant, but none of the awakened people in the hall noticed.
Zeon rose to a height of 100 meters in an instant. Then, the creatures circling in the air were clearly visible.
The head resembled an eagle and the large body was that of a lion. It had a pair of wings on its back.
Zeon immediately recognized their identity.
“It’s a griffin.”
Griffin was a B-class magic beast.
The grade is B, but the risk is A.
The ruler of the sky comparable to the Wyvern was the Griffin.
It circles in the air and descends like a meteor, tearing apart not only quite a few awakened people but even magical beasts in an instant.
The griffin was the twin-headed buffalo’s natural enemy.
Now I understand that the twin-headed buffalo herds have come together.
The griffin was constantly letting out threatening cries.
It was clear that its howl had sent the twin-headed buffalo into a state of panic.
Just like a sheepherding dog herding sheep, the griffins roared and gathered together a herd of twin-headed buffaloes to attack the Pegasus raiding party.
Bleep!
The griffins that discovered Zeon let out threatening cries.
The sky was their domain.
They never leave anything that invades their territory alone.
The griffin stopped herding the twin-headed buffalo and attacked Zeon.
Wedge!
They flew at a speed close to supersonic speed.
In Griffin’s eyes, Zeon, floating defenseless, looked like easy prey. But Griffin realized with his own body how big of an illusion that was.
“Sand blaster.”
At Zeon’s hand gesture, sand condensed under high pressure was fired.
Burbubbuk!
The sand blaster pounded the Griffin’s massive fuselage without hesitation.
Although it didn’t take much damage thanks to the force field around its body, it was enough to scare Griffin.
Griffin changed direction and tried to get away from Xeon. But Zeon didn’t let that happen.
“Cremore!”
Bubble bubbling!
The sand particles floating around the griffin exploded.
Cremore cruelly tore off the griffin’s force field and wings.
Wow!
A female griffin who lost her wings screamed and fell. Then the male griffin chased after the female griffin to save her. However, the speed at which the female fell was much faster than the speed at which the male flew.
bang!
In the end, the female griffin fell headfirst to the floor.
If the force field had been intact, it would have been safe from the fall, but it was removed by Xeon. Griffin’s body, which had lost its force field, could not withstand the shock of the fall.
The female’s body was horribly crushed. Still, I didn’t stop breathing.
The male griffin came down next to the fallen female griffin and let out a sad cry.
Griffins have only one companion in their lives.
Once they mate, they live together for life. Because of this, his affection for his mate was deeper than that of any other demonic beast.
Because of that, he lost his temper due to his partner’s injury and fell to the floor.
That prompted the male griffin’s command.
“Sand mixer.”
With Zeon’s voice, sand hit the griffins.
Gaaaa!
Before the male griffin could escape, the sand spun at an alarming speed.
The sand, spinning like a blender, chipped away at the force field of the male griffin.
The male griffin then tried to escape by flapping his wings, but it was no use.
The fine sand particles rotating at high speed instantly ground the griffin’s steel body.
Kieee!
The miserable cries of the griffins echoed from the sand. However, the sand rotating at high speed swallowed up even the griffins’ screams.
It was the end of the griffins.
