Sand Mage of the Burnt Desert - Chapter 177
Sand Mage Of The Burnt Desert Chapter 177
Episode 177:
A straight road to the old castle has now appeared.
Quicksand was pushed to both sides of the road, creating a wall of sand tens of meters high.
Leeches were seen writhing on a section of the sand wall.
The sight of leeches the size of an adult’s forearm wriggling caused people to feel great fear.
The good news is that the leeches do not want to come out of the sand.
Zeon said.
“We’d better cross the quicksand quickly. “Because I can’t keep it up that long.”
“I get it.”
Lee Ji-ryeong nodded and gave orders to the Pegasus attack team.
“We will break through the quicksand zone like this.”
“yes!”
“let’s go!”
Lee Ji-ryeong took the lead and entered the quicksand zone.
It was a strange feeling walking down the path opened by Zeon.
There were still leeches wriggling on both walls.
They pinned two-thirds of the body to the sand and pulled out the remaining part, attempting to suck the blood of the awakened.
Fortunately, the path that Zeon had left open was wide, so the leeches’ mouths didn’t reach it, but it was scary enough.
Zeon said to Levin and Brielle.
“You guys go over too.”
“Then what about your brother?”
“Don’t worry about me. “If you recover your mana, you can quickly overcome such disasters.”
One of the reasons Zeon came here was to give Levin and Brielle dungeon experience.
Both of them had great growth potential.
The more dungeons they experience, the faster their growth will accelerate.
Xeon looked at Levin.
“You protect Brielle. “You can do it, right?”
“Sure.”
“Then go across.”
“yes!”
Levin nodded and looked at Brielle.
Brielle looked like she didn’t want to be separated from Zeon, but she didn’t complain or refuse.
Brielle said, putting on her conical hat.
“I’ll go first and wait for you.”
“okay!”
“come fast.”
She entered the quicksand zone with Levin without hearing Zeon’s answer.
So everyone entered the path opened by Zeon.
This was when Lee Ji-ryeong and the front row had almost reached the other side.
Suddenly the leeches started behaving strangely.
Kieee!
With a loud noise, the leeches flew out of the sand.
The leeches that were fired like bullets stuck to the awakened person’s body and sunk their teeth into them.
“Ugh!”
“Leech attacks.”
The awakened people who had not yet left the quicksand zone were frightened by the sudden barrage of leeches.
“profit! “This little leech…”
An awakened person used a flame skill to burn the leech that attacked him.
That was the starting point.
“I’m dead!”
“Hey!”
The awakeners attacked the leech sticking out of the sand.
They are scary when they are hiding in the sand, but when they come out of the sand, they are not that threatening.
The leeches, who were greedy to suck human blood, were helpless against the attacks of the awakened ones.
“You damn leeches, try to attack me again.”
The Awakened One who burned and killed the first leech huffed and glared at the sand wall.
His eyes were full of madness.
Fellow awakeners were frightened when they saw the look in his eyes.
“Hey no.”
“Fuck! “That guy’s eyes rolled back.”
At that moment, the awakened person’s eyes turned and attacked the leech writhing in the sand.
Grumble!
Ultra-high heat flames burned the leeches writhing in the sand.
The leeches suffered as they burned in the fire.
“Sigh! Things that are nothing special…”
It was when the awakened person who attacked with flames looked at the leeches wriggling and spitting on the floor.
Cuckoo!
Suddenly, I felt a strong vibration in the sand.
In an instant, Zeon’s expression changed.
This is because I could feel the leeches spread evenly across the quicksand moving all at once.
The leeches flocked to the place where the leeches burned by the Flame Awakening were.
‘The leeches are all connected. ‘I accept the pain of my people as my own pain.’
Xeon knew very well what this meant.
he shouted loudly.
“These guys are group demons. “Hurry up and get out of the quicksand zone.”
The faces of some awakened people turned pale at the mention of group demon beasts.
“Fuck! Somehow…”
“Run!”
They were the first to run at full speed.
The awakened people left behind looked at each other’s faces without understanding what was happening. Then the awakened person running ahead shouted.
“You idiots! “Don’t think, just run.”
“What….”
Fu Chemistry!
It was then.
Suddenly something huge came out through the sand.
It was a huge leech that looked like it had been fried hundreds of times over.
It swallowed up the awakened people who were left behind.
Quad Deuk!
“Ahh!”
“help me!”
The awakened people who had been swallowed up by the leeches let out desperate screams.
Levin and Brielle’s eyes widened at the terrible sight that occurred before their eyes.
“what? this.”
“I don’t know! “Go ahead and run.”
“Uh huh!”
Levin held Brielle’s hand and ran.
At that moment, huge leeches appeared through the wall. They attacked the awakened people who were still in the quicksand zone.
The leeches that attacked the awakened people were not a single living thing. Tens of thousands of leeches gathered together and became huge.
That was the fear of the group of demonic beasts.
These demonic beasts are nothing special individually, but when united as one, they exert terrifying power.
When tens of thousands of leeches that were only D or E class gathered together into one entity, they became B or higher level demons.
Dozens of such guys were breaking through the sand wall and revealing themselves.
A force field is created for B-class or higher magical beasts.
Because of this, most attacks from awakened people do not work.
The entire body of the giant leech beast also had a force field. It was proof that they were B-class demons.
“Yes, you are a leech. “I will burn you all down.”
The awakener who stimulated the leeches to unite as one unleashed his flame skill.
Grumble!
Ultra-high-temperature flames poured down with the power to burn the leech. However, the high-temperature flames did not inflict any damage on the leech, who had become a B-class magician.
Rather, only the awakened person who attacked ended up attracting the attention of the giant leech.
“Oh, no!”
The giant leech opened its large mouth and swallowed the awakened person.
Kwasik!
The awakened person was crushed in the giant leech’s mouth.
The leech that devoured the awakened person moved to find another victim.
More than half of the awakened people were still unable to escape the quicksand zone, and among them were Levin and Brielle.
If things were left like this, it was clear that the two would also be attacked by the giant leech.
“after! “I can’t help it.”
Zeon sighed and unfolded the sand blaster.
bang! bang!
The sand blaster flew at an incredible speed and hit the body of the giant leech.
Due to the sudden shock, the giant leeches’ attention was focused on Zeon.
They wriggled and approached Zeon.
Because it was so big, it was an instant for it to approach me.
In an instant, more than a dozen giant leeches surrounded Zeon.
Brielle, who witnessed the scene from afar, shouted loudly.
“Xeon!”
Quarrr!
At that moment, the floor collapsed, unable to withstand the weight of the leeches.
Zeon and the leeches instantly fell deep underground.
Levin and Brielle screamed at the unexpected situation.
“no!”
“Xeon!”
But by then, Zeon and the leeches had already disappeared into the sand.
Kwakwakwa!
Immediately after that, the quicksand that had split on both sides came flooding back and covered the path that Zeon had created.
“ha! ha!”
“Am I still alive?”
“I almost fell.”
The awakened people who managed to escape the quicksand fell to the floor and gasped.
Fortunately, thanks to Zeon drawing the attention of the leeches, the damage to the awakened people was not significant.
Lee Ji-ryeong clicked his tongue.
“Could it be that he died here?”
“No matter how much of a sand wizard he is, he won’t be able to do anything if he’s surrounded by so many leeches. Moreover, he barely consumed any mana, did he?”
Strategy team leader Bronson looked at the sand with a skeptical expression.
The quicksand was flowing freely again, as if it had been cut off for some time.
It was proof that Zeon’s dominance was not working.
“Tsk! It’s too bad. “There is still a lot of value left.”
“I wasn’t one to bow down to anyone anyway. “Maybe it’s better.”
The corner of Bronson’s mouth curled up.
From the beginning, he didn’t like Zeon.
However, Lee Ji-ryeong, the leader of the attack, tried to use Zeon, so he just stood by.
Thanks to Zeon, he safely crossed the quicksand zone, so his usefulness has come to an end.
From now on, it was up to the Pegasus raid team.
Lee Ji-ryeong turned around and said.
“Forget about Xeon and focus on conquering the castle.”
“yes!”
“Everyone follow me.”
“let’s go!”
“Wow!”
Following Lee Ji-ryeong, the Pegasus raiding party and the awakened people headed to Goseong.
Levin, who was left behind, muttered.
“There’s no way my brother could have died in vain like this.”
“Of course.”
“ok?”
“Have you forgotten who Xeon is? A sand wizard dies in the sand? “You have to say something that makes sense.”
Levin blinked in surprise at Brielle’s reaction.
“What do you know?”
“I don’t know!”
“But why…”
“But I can tell that Zeon is not dead. “Zeon is alive.”
“okay?”
“Zeon was born with the blessing of sand. But there’s no way sand could kill Zeon. “If we go to Goseong, Zeon will definitely come there too.”
Brielle’s voice was full of confidence.
Levin looked at Brielle’s face and nodded.
“that’s right! “There’s no way my brother could die at this level.”
“of course.”
“okay. Then let’s go to Goseong. “If I were alive, I would definitely come there.”
“huh!”
“be careful! “Because I can’t trust other awakened people.”
“From the beginning, I didn’t trust other humans.”
Brielle snorted.
There were only a very few people she trusted.
All other humans were like enemies to her.
At that time, several awakened members of the Pegasus raid team approached the two.
“From now on, we will protect you.”
“Protection?”
“okay! “The captain has ordered you to be protected.”
“There is no need to worry so much.”
“This is the commander’s order. “You have no right to refuse.”
The awakened person answered in a cold voice.
It sounds good, but it was actually a surveillance site.
The two people who lost Zeon were quite desirable.
One was an awakened person with rare abilities and the other was an elf.
The value of its use was endless.
Ji-ryeong Lee had no intention of letting the two go.
Levin gritted his teeth.
‘You mean it comes out like this? We’ll see. I wonder if Zeon will still be like this even if he comes back.’
