Sand Mage Of The Burnt Desert Chapter 174
Episode 174:
Grim Reaper.
It was a being commonly called the Shinigami.
It is too powerful to be dismissed as simply a magical beast, and is capable of thinking to some extent like a human.
Like the Specter, this guy, who only moves as a spirit without a physical body, was a monster with an estimated rating of over A.
If it were any other dungeon, he would have been a good enough boss.
Such a monster appeared out of nowhere.
The problem is that no awakened person in Neo Seoul has ever experienced the Grim Reaper.
Dungeons where the Grim Reaper appeared as a boss were extremely rare, and like this dungeon, they were all located far away from Neo Seoul.
That’s why people don’t even know about its existence, let alone its danger.
Zeon shouted once again to the awakened people who were just looking at him blankly.
“Hurry and avoid.”
“Three punishment! “Who are you shouting at?”
“How scary is that?”
The awakened people in the western area became rather angry and glared at Zeon.
Even though there was a monster I had never seen before, I didn’t feel afraid at all.
Even if the opponent was an A-class demon, I was confident that I could defeat him.
In fact, we had the power to do that.
The problem was their compatibility.
The attack power of the mechanized awakeners was mainly focused on physical power.
Of course, the parts could be used to use techniques such as flamethrowers or compressed air bombs, but the main attacks were all attacks using mechanized bodies.
On the other hand, the Grim Reaper had no substance.
Physical attacks did not work on the spiritized body. On the other hand, the Grim Reaper was able to harvest human souls with a huge scythe.
Tsuuu!
The giant mole beast was drying out rapidly.
As the Grim Reaper harvests souls, it also absorbs life.
In this way, the Grim Reaper increases his power.
“This is enough for Specter.”
A thin silver thread protruded from the wrist of the mechanized awakener.
The silver thread wrapped around the Grim Reaper, but since it had no substance, it passed through in vain.
But the mechanized awakener was not disappointed. This is because he still has some tricks left.
A small generator mounted on the abdomen was activated and an enormous amount of current was instantly generated.
Ultra-high voltage current flowed through the silver wire.
The Mechanized Awakening was confident that he would hear the Grim Reaper’s screams, but what he expected did not happen.
The electric current he created only caused a stinging level of pain to the Grim Reaper. That made the Grim Reaper angry.
Grim Reaper swung his huge scythe towards the awakened person who fired an electric current.
Sugaak!
“uh?”
Even though he was cut by a huge scythe, there was not a single wound on the awakened person’s body.
The awakened person who was cut by the scythe blinked his eyes and then laughed out loud.
“haha! what? It’s no big deal…”
His voice suddenly trailed off.
“what’s the matter?”
“hey! “Don’t play around…”
The moment fellow awakened people nearby started talking, he fell backwards like a log.
thud!
The face of the fallen awakened person was pale and bloodless.
This is because the soul was harvested by the Grim Reaper’s scythe.
In addition, the life remaining in the body was sucked away by the Grim Reaper.
Fass!
In an instant, the awakened person’s body shrunk and crumbled into powder.
All that remained was a mechanical body.
Despite absorbing the soul and life force of the awakened person, the Grim Reaper did not look very pleased.
Although the size of the body is not necessarily the size of the soul, it still has some influence.
The size of the soul obtained through hard work swinging the scythe was not enough to satisfy the Grim Reaper.
Kieeee!
Grim Reaper’s anger exploded.
The unnourished soul made the Grim Reaper angry.
Sigh!
Grim Reaper attacked other awakened people.
“Fuck! “You ghost bastard.”
“I’m dead!”
The mechanized awakeners fought against the Grim Reaper. But their attacks did not work on the Grim Reaper.
On the other hand, Grim Reaper was swinging his scythe and steadily harvesting their souls.
“Kaaak!”
“help me!”
The screams of the mechanized awakeners rang out.
“Fuck! “What is this…”
Cha Jin-cheol widened his eyes.
His subordinates were dying before his eyes.
It would be better if you fight fiercely and die, but you end up being killed like a dog.
“이 개새끼야! Come at me.”
Cha Jin-cheol screamed and stretched out his right arm.
Weeing!
In an instant, his arm transformed and turned into a long gun.
bang!
A bullet was fired from the gun barrel.
It was a railgun fired by electricity.
Although it was incomparably small than the giant rail gun used to defeat the mammoth, it was a weapon as powerful as it was powerful.
Sreuk!
However, the railgun bullet he fired passed through the Grim Reaper’s spirit body in vain.
Grim Reaper glared at Cha Jin-cheol, who attacked him.
At that moment, naturalization bloomed in Grim Reaper’s eyes.
The guy’s gaze was fixed on the jade keeper’s rope hanging around Cha Jin-cheol’s waist.
Hmm!
Grim Reaper let out a bizarre groan as if possessed.
It flew towards Cha Jin-cheol with its characteristic fluttering gesture. To be exact, it was aimed at Cha Jin-cheol’s jade guard’s rope.
“Fuck!”
Cha Jin-cheol cursed and fired the rail gun repeatedly. However, the bullet passed through the Grim Reaper’s body in vain, and before he knew it, it had reached Cha Jin-cheol’s nose.
-You must avoid it quickly. If you get cut by the Grim Reaper’s scythe, your soul will be greatly damaged.
“I know.”
Cha Jin-cheol screamed and quickly retreated.
Grim Reaper followed Cha Jin-cheol.
It seemed like nothing could stop him.
Then something unexpected happened.
Pow!
“Enough with that, you bastard.”
Someone had struck the Grim Reaper.
It was Levin.
Levin, like the Grim Reaper, was also turned into a ghost.
You can’t hit the Grim Reaper with normal physical attacks, but it’s a different story if you’re also ghosted.
Absolutely!
A purple electric current flickered throughout Levin’s body.
Kieee!
Grim Reaper, hit by the purple electric current, screamed in pain.
Although it was not affected much by the current generated by the generator, it was affected by the electricity emitted by the awakened person.
At that time, extremely high-temperature flames attacked the Grim Reaper.
Xeon fired a fire missile using his fiery gauntlet.
With the addition of electric and fire attacks, Grim Reaper also took a huge hit and faltered.
“I’ll kill you! “You skeleton bastard.”
Mandy transformed into Elroy and attacked.
Grim Reaper was hit hard by the successive attacks and hesitated.
Although he was extremely strong against physical attacks, he was quite shocked by various attribute attacks.
Zeon approached the Grim Reaper.
The dragon energy contained in the fiery gauntlet exploded.
At that moment, Grim Reaper instinctively felt fear and trembled.
Even if he is a Class A demonic beast, the Grim Reaper, he cannot compare to a dragon.
Grim Reaper quickly got away from Zeon and flew towards Cha Jin-cheol.
“This bastard. “Can’t you turn it off?”
Cha Jin-cheol punched in anger. But this time, it didn’t work on the Grim Reaper.
Grim Reaper passed through Cha Jin-cheol’s fist and grabbed the prison guard’s rope around his waist.
Fu Chemical!
At that moment, an ominous black light exploded from the jade keeper’s rope.
“Ugh!”
“what?”
The awakened people unconsciously closed their eyes from the intense light.
When they opened their eyes a little while later, Cha Jin-cheol had disappeared.
“Unbelievable!”
“Leader!”
The awakened people of the western district frantically searched the area, but Cha Jin-cheol was not found anywhere.
Zeon spoke to Levin, who was still in ghost form.
“Find him.”
“Okay bro!”
Levin flew over and searched the area. However, Grim Reaper and Cha Jin-cheol were not found anywhere.
Levin said, removing his ghost shoes.
“Nothing, bro! “I feel like I’ve already gone far away.”
“Then it looks like he was taken to his nest.”
“You mean the nest is where the dungeon core is?”
“I guess so.”
“Why did they kidnap him?”
“That item.”
“yes?”
“I think it’s because of the item called Jade Keeper’s Hoseungjul.”
“Why is that?”
“It seemed like an item containing the resentment of some being.”
It was not uncommon for an item to contain the original owner’s thoughts. However, since most thoughts are just a bit of lingering desire or desire, they naturally disappear over time.
However, the resentment remaining in the prison guard’s rope was not at that level. A resentment so strong that it made my skin tingle was being expressed.
Even though it was sealed, it was impossible to estimate how much it would be when it was released.
That was why Zeon said, ‘Damian poisoned Neo Seoul.’
There was no problem as long as the seal was maintained, but when the seal was released, problems were bound to arise.
“Still, I was somewhat relieved because I won the bid in the western district.”
The awakened people in the western sector have replaced most of their bodies with machines. Because of this, curses like resentment did not work well.
“The moment you came here, the seal weakened and the Grim Reaper took you away. “It seems like this is a dungeon related to the Jade Keeper.”
Even Zeon didn’t know what a jade keeper was. However, since the name of the item Cha Jin-cheol had was Jade Keeper’s Poseungjul, there was a high possibility that the owner of this dungeon was also related to him.
“Let’s start by finding the Pegasus raid team.”
“Oh, they know where I am. “I saw it when I was looking for the Grim Reaper.”
“okay?”
“I will guide you.”
Levin walked ahead.
Zeon and Brielle Elroy followed.
The remaining awakened people in the western area looked at each other’s faces for a moment and then hurriedly followed.
“Let’s go together.”
“Shit!”
They also realized that there was no other way than to join the Pegasus attack team.
The leader bit his lip gently.
‘The captain is kidnapped as soon as he enters the dungeon.’
It was a situation that neither Cha Jin-cheol nor they had expected at all. Because of this, I was completely unprepared.
Fortunately, as Levin said, it wasn’t that difficult to find the location of the Pegasus raid.
This is because a base protected by wings of protection could be seen in the distance.
Levin took the lead and pioneered the path.
If there was an area that seemed uncomfortable, Levin turned into a ghost and searched it first.
There were no magical beasts that could harm Levin, who had become a ghost.
Even if unexpected demons occasionally appeared, Eloi defeated them all.
Thanks to this, the group was able to safely reach the base.
A look of boredom was evident on the faces of the awakeners in the western area who followed.
‘What on earth is this party?’
‘What’s wrong with the members?’
Zeon, a sand wizard, Eloi, who boasts crazy attack power, and Levin, who can turn into a ghost at will. Lastly, there is a kid wearing a mysterious conical hat.
It was a combination that didn’t seem to go well at all. But surprisingly, their combination showed great power.
At the center was Xeon.
‘Does this mean that not only have you awakened a rare ability, but you also have a good eye for people?’
