Sand Mage of the Burnt Desert - Chapter 181
Sand Mage Of The Burnt Desert Chapter 181
Episode 181:
A two-way fork appeared in front of the Pegasus attack party.
Exploration team leader Gesling closed his eyes and let mana flow.
Gwaaaah!
At that moment, undead soldiers appeared from both passageways.
They were rushing in like a tide, filling the passage.
At that time, Gesling opened his eyes.
“It’s the right aisle. “There is a life reaction there.”
“Did you hear? “Block the left passage and attack the right.”
Strategy team leader Bronson immediately gave an order.
The martial arts awakened people moved in perfect order.
Quack!
The entire left passage collapsed due to their attack. Of course, the undead soldiers were also crushed by the rubble.
Now that they didn’t have to worry about the left passage, the awakened people only focused on the undead soldiers coming from the right.
“We have to find the core and destroy it.”
Those who demonstrated power at this time were awakened people with detection skills, including Gesling.
“I have a nucleus hidden on the left side of my back.”
While the martial arts awakeners were blocking the undead soldiers, the awakeners with detection skills found the location of the core. Then, the magic awakeners attacked the core by using elaborate spells.
Bubble bubbling!
The undead collapsed with heavy drinking. And it never moved again.
As the core was destroyed, it could no longer be revived.
That was the method the Pegasus raid team found.
Rather than attacking blindly, find the core and strike with precision, completely eliminating any chance of revival.
After much trial and error, they eventually found a way to attack Goseong.
It was all thanks to Lee Ji-ryeong’s overwhelming power that bought time.
“Stop it!”
At Bronson’s command, martial arts awakeners block the undead soldiers. While they are holding on, the magical awakeners prepare their skills and destroy the core.
By repeating a series of processes, defense and attack were carried out without a single error, like a precision machine.
Ji-ryeong Lee looked at that scene silently.
This was the reason he created the Pegasus Attack Force.
He could have wiped them out on his own, but if he did that, the attack force would no longer grow.
Only when the Pegasus attack team grew could he look higher.
The awakened people who fought this fierce battle grow quickly and become elites, providing him with a strong foundation.
You can never reach heights alone.
There must be strong support from underneath.
We must grow together rather than leading alone.
That was the reason why Lee Ji-ryeong took a step back and watched the attack of the raiding party.
Fortunately, so far, it has been meeting his expectations.
Although there were more victims than expected.
Suddenly, Lee Ji-ryeong’s eyes turned to Levin.
Levin was emitting lightning in a ghostly state.
Levin’s unique purple lightning completely burned not only the core but also the bodies of the undead soldiers.
Although it still lacks precision, its power is much stronger than that of a typical lightning skill.
So I was jealous.
He was confident that he would raise Levin well as he was also a person with an awakened brain system. The problem is that Levin doesn’t have the heart to come to him.
Levin had great faith in Xeon.
I thought that as long as Zeon was alive, he would never follow me.
‘Levin and Zeon…’
At that moment, what came to Lee Ji-ryeong’s mind was a scale.
I placed Xeon and Levin on both sides of the balance scale and watched where the weights tilted.
‘That’s fun.’
Contrary to what I thought, Ji-ryeong Lee’s eyes turned cold.
Kwakwakwa!
Even at that moment, the Pegasus attack team steadily attacked Goseong.
The undead soldiers were no longer an opponent for the raiding party.
“good! “We will conquer it soon.”
“Push it like this.”
The self-confidence of the awakened people soared to the sky.
The thought that they could quickly conquer Goseong was passing through their minds.
Yikes!
As if to shatter the awakened people’s confidence, the passage wall opened and people dressed as knights appeared.
“What else?”
“Is it an undead knight this time?”
Even at a glance, I felt a powerful presence that could not be compared to the undead soldiers.
Lee Ji-ryeong shouted.
“Everyone be careful. “They are on a different level from those who have come out so far.”
“yes!”
A look of tension was also evident on the faces of the awakened people.
They also feel the power of the undead knights to some extent.
At that moment, undead knights attacked.
Huh!
Their swords cut through the darkness.
The martial arts awakened person who was targeted shouted and swung his sword.
“Don’t look down on people. “You rotten, crumbling things.”
He was a C-level martial arts awakened person, and his main weapon was a sword.
His sword instantly split into three.
One was a sword for counterattacking, the second was a sword for creating an opening, and the third was a sword for counterattacking.
Suddenly!
But his sword never touched the undead knights.
This is because the undead knight’s sword cut off his sword and body at the same time.
“Uh huh!”
The awakened person, who was gaping in disbelief, fell into two pieces and fell to the floor.
“Fuck! “He’s an Auror.”
“Undead use aurors.”
“I’m going crazy.”
As the awakened people said, an ominous black aura was blooming just by looking at the swords of the undead knights.
The Pegasus attack team was greatly shocked by the fact that only undead were using Aurors, which were supposed to be used only by at least B-class awakened people.
At that moment, lightning flashed in the passage.
Lee Ji-ryeong threw a thunderbolt.
The awakened people had no doubt that the thunderbolt would fry the undead knights to a crisp. But something happened that made them doubt their eyes.
Sigh!
A black protective shield appeared in front of the undead knight.
The shield bounced the bundle of lightning to the side.
Although it was broken immediately after that, it still protected the undead knights from the thunderstorm.
“Auror… shield?”
“I’m going to be amazed. “What kind of corpse bastard deploys an Auror shield?”
Among the martial arts world, the Auror Shield is something that only awakened people of Class B or higher can make.
That meant that the power of the undead knights that were released now was equivalent to that of a B-class martial arts awakened person.
The force was similar, but the undead knights had the advantage.
This is because of the nature of being undead.
As long as the core is not destroyed, no matter how serious the injury, you will not die. Even if your head is cut off.
Moreover, the undead knights knew how to use Aurors freely.
Since everyone used Aurors in offense and defense, it was actually the human awakeners who were pushed back.
“Kaaak!”
“Oops!”
The awakened people who were at the forefront fell down with a scream.
He was killed by undead knights.
The problem occurred after that.
That’s it!
Those awakened from the dead by the undead knights were brought back to life.
“what?”
“Why them?”
The eyes of those who woke up again were full of black energy.
The dead awakened people turned around and attacked their comrades.
“Shit!”
“These bastards have become undead.”
“If you are killed by an undead knight, you become undead. “Fuck!”
The awakened people were astonished.
For the raiding party, death was like an unreliable friend.
It’s always by your side, and if you let your guard down, you can stab him at any time.
Therefore, I was always prepared to die and had the confidence to accept it calmly. But being resurrected as an undead was a completely different problem.
For the first time, a look of fear appeared on the faces of the awakened people.
Ji-ryeong Lee noticed the awakened people’s agitation and gritted his teeth.
‘I can’t help it. I wanted to face the boss while conserving as much power as possible.’
Just because it was Lee Ji-ryeong, it did not mean that mana was infinite.
Using powerful skills consumed a lot of mana and it took quite a while to replenish it.
Because of that, I only went out when necessary and was able to save a lot of mana. But now was not the time to calculate this and that.
Even at this moment, the awakened people at the forefront are being killed by undead knights. He then resurrects as an undead and attacks his colleagues.
Right now, we are barely able to stop it, but at some point, as the number of dead increases, the balance of power will be broken.
While the number of allies decreases, the number of enemies continues to increase, and the superiority in power is reversed.
It had to be sorted out before something like that happened.
“after!”
Lee Ji-ryeong took a long breath and prepared to unleash his strongest skill.
Quick! Absolutely!
Sparks erupted strongly around his body.
Bronson shouted after seeing that.
“It’s the thunder god’s mace. Everyone in line, step back. hurry!”
Raijin’s Mace, the best skill that made Lee Ji-ryeong what he is today.
The awakened people who knew its power retreated in haste.
Levin saw this and made a puzzled expression.
‘How powerful is it?’
It was then.
Flash!
A powerful thunderbolt on a different level from before erupted from Lee Ji-ryeong’s body.
A thunderbolt so powerful that it seemed like it would blind one’s eyes exploded at the undead knights.
The undead knights tried to protect their entire bodies by unfolding their Auror shields.
Since he had blocked it before, he seemed confident that he could stop it this time as well. But the results that emerged were different from their expectations.
Pakang!
The black auror shield shattered with the sound of glass breaking.
Lightning exploded on the undead knights who were not protected by the Auror Shield.
The thunderbolt penetrated the bodies of the undead knights.
Bub bub bub!
The body of the undead knight exploded like a firecracker.
If it had been just that, they could have been revived, but the thunderstorm even exploded their core.
The undead knight no longer existed.
Only pitch black ash remained where they had been standing.
It really felt like a mace coming from the God of Thunder.
Elroy muttered as he looked at the devastated passage.
“That crazy bastard. How do you see that it’s grade A? “Aren’t you already in S class?”
＊＊＊
Passu!
Dust as fine as sand was flying.
It was the remains of a being once called the Inquisitor.
Xeon replaced them with Exion.
The Inquisitor was not resurrected.
This is because the core was split apart.
When the interrogator died, the tortured awakened people also passed away quietly.
Even as they faced death, they laughed.
Because I know that only after death can I find freedom.
“Please go to a good place….”
Now there were no more undead to stop Zeon. Still, Zeon did not let down his guard.
The worst of all dungeons was the one where the dead roamed around like this.
This is not simply because they are difficult to deal with, but because they face such unpredictable situations.
It was then.
Sigh!
A ghost-like being appeared through the wall.
It was the Grim Reaper holding a large reaper’s scythe.
Grim Reaper pointed his scythe at Xeon as if warning him not to approach any further.
It was the Grim Reaper who kidnapped Cha Jin-cheol.
Grim Reaper glared at Xeon, flapping his robe as if he would never let him pass.
Grumble!
Naturalization bloomed in the Grim Reaper’s eyes as he glared at Zeon.
“I guess you are the last gatekeeper?”
