Sand Mage of the Burnt Desert - Chapter 183

Sand Mage Of The Burnt Desert Chapter 183

Episode 183

It was a knight who greeted them beyond the door.

A real knight wearing full frame armor and a red cloak.

Unlike the undead knights he had faced so far, he had maintained his original appearance to some extent.

Lee Ji-ryeong frowned at the noble elegance that the knight naturally displayed.

Because it was completely different from the jade keeper he had imagined.

People often think of a prison guard as being shabby and vicious. But the knight in front of me now was far from that appearance.

The driver did not even look at Ji-ryeong Lee and was only looking at the bed.

Cha Jin-cheol, who had been kidnapped by the Grim Reaper, was lying on the bed.

“He is the leader.”

“What are you going to do to the captain?”

The awakened people in the western district found Cha Jin-cheol and shouted. However, Lee Ji-ryeong stretched out his hand and stopped them from running to Cha Jin-cheol.

The driver paid no heed to the commotion and was only looking at Cha Jin-cheol. No, more precisely, he was looking at the rope on Cha Jin-cheol’s waist.

Jade keeper’s rope.

It was an item that Cha Jin-cheol won at White Bear Caravan.

The knight stretched out his hand and touched the prison guard’s rope.

‘Is there a story behind that item?’

Zeon frowned.

Among the items sold by White Bear Caravan on the market, this was the item that particularly irritated Zeon.

There are times in life when you come across things that make you feel uncomfortable and ominous for no reason.

Such items will inevitably cause problems in the future.

In Zeon’s opinion, the jade keeper’s rope was such an item. So I thought Damian had poisoned Neo Seoul.

However, I just watched because it didn’t seem like it would be a problem right now.

At that time, Ji-ryeong Lee opened his mouth.

“Are you the prison keeper?”

I didn’t expect the driver to answer.

This is because most undead have lost their reason and only their instincts remain. But an unexpected answer came back.

―My name is Gregoric Thelma Carrion. A sinner who failed to protect the great king and was reduced to being a prison keeper.

“Gregoric? “Do you understand what we are saying?”

―My name is Gregoric Thelma Carrion. A sinner who failed to protect the great king and was reduced to being a prison keeper.

The knight, who identified himself as Gregory, repeated the same words like a parrot.

“Are you not being rational and just repeating certain words?”

It was when Lee Ji-ryeong frowned.

Fu Chemical!

Suddenly, a powerful light burst out from the jade keeper’s rope held in the knight’s hand.

“what?”

“Whose eyes…”

The awakened people, who had not expected the intense light, lost their eyesight for a moment and stumbled.

Before Jeon and Lee Ji-ryeong could react, the Poseungjul became light and disappeared.

‘what?’

‘What? ‘Why is the item…’

That was then.

The knight drew his sword as if not giving the two any time to think further. Then hundreds of knights were summoned around him.

Gregoric Thelma Carrion.

One who swore loyalty to the king.

The leader of the knights who swore to protect them even in death.

However, he failed to protect the king and was reduced to a prison guard. And waited for the owner to return.

Sreung!

Gregorik aimed his sword at the Awakened One.

―Anyone who stands in the way of the king’s return will be killed.

An eerie voice came out through the helmet.

“The return of the king? “What nonsense?”

“Fuck! George, get the captain first.”

The awakened people in the western area became angry and rushed towards the knights.

They had to watch Cha Jin-cheol being kidnapped with their eyes wide open. Their patience had already reached its limit.

It was no use trying to stop Lee Ji-ryeong.

The only thought in their minds was to save Cha Jin-cheol.

“Kill!”

“Attack.”

Kwakwakwa!

The awakeners in the western district launched an all-out attack.

That became a signal.

The Pegasus raiding party also participated in the battle and a fierce battle took place.

Wow! Chop!

Weapons clashed with each other, and various magical attacks were exchanged.

“We have to catch the knight commander first. “He’s the boss.”

Bronson went on a boss hunt with the strategy team.

Bronson’s face was full of confidence.

It hasn’t been much help in battle so far, but it’s a different story if it’s a human-shaped beast.

This is because what he is most confident in is interpersonal combat.

“Duuljeorat!”

The awakened people, including Bronson, attacked the knight commander all at once.

There is no business in Daguri.

Even if it is a human-shaped demon beast.

Kwakwakwak!

Various skills and weapons exploded on the knight commander.

It was an attack with all its might.

Bronson was confident that he could neutralize the knight commander with this single attack. But his smile disappeared in an instant.

Flash!

Suddenly, an intense light erupted from the knight commander’s entire body, neutralizing all attacks.

A curtain of sacred light that refreshed my heart just by looking at it swirled around the knight commander.

Lee Ji-ryeong muttered with an expression of disbelief.

“How can the undead use the Holy Shield?”

Holy Shield.

It was a skill used by those who served God, such as Paladins.

In Neo Seoul, it was mainly used by the Holy Knights of Dongdaemun.

Although they had the disadvantage of being fanatics, they were still people who served God.

Thanks to this, I was able to use the Holy Shield.

However, the Holy Shield deployed by the Knight Commander was incomparably more powerful than that of the Paladins of Dongdaemun.

Just like the sun and the moon.

The Knight Commander’s Holy Shield was not just a simple defensive skill, but an all-round attack and defense skill that could even attack.

Kwakwakwak!

A powerful light emitted from the Holy Shield struck Bronson and the Awakened.

“Aaaah!”

“Oops!”

Their bodies flew backwards with a scream.

Bronson was rolling around on the floor, bleeding, and most of the awakeners who attacked were seriously injured and couldn’t come to their senses.

Lee Ji-ryeong’s expression hardened.

“Is it S-class?”

Although I have hunted numerous demonic beasts so far, this was my first time encountering an S-class demonic beast.

Lee Ji-ryeong’s shoulders trembled at the tremendous presence of another dimension.

He too was looking at the S-class beyond the A-class, but the presence of the real S-class took his breath away.

Suddenly his eyes turned to Zeon.

Unlike his stiff expression, Zeon’s expression was no different from usual.

That sight stimulated his pride.

I tried to ignore it until now, but now I know for sure.

I was competitive with him.

In some ways, it could have been an inferiority complex.

Zeon was the first person to make me feel this way.

So I was even more embarrassed.

I don’t know about others, but I didn’t want to appear weak to Zeon.

“I will deal with him alone.”

“Leader!”

“In the meantime, sort out the rest.”

“Please be careful. “If something happens to the captain, our Pegasus raid team will also fall.”

“Trust me.”

“Hehe! “If we don’t trust the captain, who will we trust?”

Gesling gave a thumbs up.

He said it with a smile, but his eyes were hard.

He too feels that the knight commander is a monster he has never encountered before.

“okay! I am Lee Ji-ryeong. This is a man who will one day climb to the top of Neo Seoul. “For me, this level of ordeal is nothing.”

Lee Ji-ryeong launched himself at the knight commander.

Absolutely!

He crashed into the knight commander with his entire body covered in thunderbolts.

Quaaaang!

The two monsters collided, creating a huge shock wave.

The shock wave also hit Zeon and his group.

Thanks to Zeon canceling out most of the shock waves, Brielle did not take any damage. But it was too early to feel relieved.

This is because the knights summoned by the knight commander attacked them as well.

“Where are the ghosts who couldn’t die?”

“Chahaha!”

Eloi and Levin fought against them.

Levin also grew a lot through conquering this dungeon.

It instantly turned into a ghost and radiated purple lightning.

Absolutely!

It was the purple lightning that had destroyed countless undead so far. However, it did not show much power against the knights.

“these guys! “It’s plastered with items.”

Levin gritted his teeth.

The armor the knights were wearing was attenuating the power of the purple lightning.

That’s why his attacks don’t show their proper power.

This was the first time something like this had happened.

However, on the contrary, the knights’ attacks did not cause much damage to him.

Like the Grim Reaper, he is also immune to physical attacks when turned into a ghost.

When the knights realized that their attacks were not working, they raised their swords with light.

Divine power was put into the sword.

“Fuck! “Isn’t it against the law for undead to use divine power?”

In this case, even if you are a ghost, you cannot feel at ease.

This is because divine power also affects the spiritual body. But Levin did not back down and fought back.

It was the same with Elroy.

“Everyone, everyone!”

The sight of her running wild, wielding a crazy nine-tailed fox, was reminiscent of a madman.

The scene itself was chaos.

The awakened and undead knights fought together, and Levin and Eloi went crazy.

In the midst of it all were Zeon and Brielle.

Brielle looked up at Zeon.

Everyone was going crazy, but only Zeon was peaceful, as if he were alone in a world far away.

Even the undead knights who were frantically attacking other awakened people did not attack Zeon, perhaps because they instinctively sensed the dangerous scent.

The sight felt very foreign.

‘Xeon!’

Brielle grabbed Zeon’s sleeve.

It was because I had the feeling that if I didn’t do this, Zeon would go somewhere far away.

At that time, Zeon held Brielle’s hand. And smiled.

When I saw Zeon’s smile, I felt relieved.

After reassuring Brielle, Zeon looked forward again.

What he was looking at was Cha Jin-cheol.

Cha Jin-cheol was motionless, as if he was in a deep sleep.

‘Anyone who stands in the way of the king’s return will be killed?’

Zeon repeated what the knight commander said and recalled the situation a moment ago.

The sight of the jade keeper’s rope turning into light and disappearing.

‘The prison keeper’s rope was a medium for the king’s resurrection.’

Now everything becomes clear.

I clearly realized why I felt so uncomfortable with the guard’s rope.

It was clear that the true owner of this old castle was trying to revive it using Cha Jin-cheol.

Jeon walked towards Cha Jin-cheol. Then the undead knights, who felt a sense of crisis, blocked Zeon.

“Get out of the way!”

Burbubbuk!

Zeon’s fist exploded on the undead knights.

The undead knights bounced in all directions, opening a path toward Cha Jin-cheol.

Zeon ran down that road.

Other undead knights rushed to stop it, but by then Zeon had already reached Cha Jin-cheol.

Jeon slammed his fist into Cha Jin-cheol’s head.

“no!”

“This crazy bastard…”

The awakened people in the western area threw themselves to block Zeon’s attack.

puck!

Cha Jin-cheol was able to be safe because of the awakened person who blocked Zeon’s fist with his whole body. And Cha Jin-cheol opened his eyes.
