Sand Mage of the Burnt Desert - Chapter 187
Sand Mage Of The Burnt Desert Chapter 187
Chapter 187:
The power of Raijin’s mace was truly incredible.
Although the robe made from Leviathan’s leather had strong resistance to quite a few magical attacks, it was unable to completely block it and seriously injured Zeon.
Still, I could move.
This was thanks to training my body to the limit.
Zeon looked at the fallen.
Brielle and Elroy were in danger, as if they would run out of breath at any moment. Fortunately, only Levin, who could use lightning like Lee Ji-ryeong, was relatively intact. Still, perhaps because he was so shocked, his eyes had not yet returned to focus.
Zeon put his hand into his arms.
A glass bottle containing a clear liquid was held in my hand.
Zeon took a sip first and then gave it to Brielle and Elroy Levin in turn.
The color returned to the faces of Brielle and Elroy, who had been shaking as if they were about to run out of breath, and Levin’s eyes also came into focus.
Xeon also felt that breathing became easier.
It was a treatment he created himself.
A treatment made by mixing the blood of a demonic beast and several herbs showed excellent effectiveness in emergency situations.
Levin, who had come to his senses, asked Zeon.
“Bro, how did this happen?”
“Lee Ji-ryeong attacked.”
“Why would he do us?”
“It doesn’t matter now. “Getting out of here is more important.”
“ah!”
The portal closed and the dungeon was on the verge of extinction.
If we delay a little longer, they will disappear along with the dungeon.
Zeon stood up and said.
“Pick up Elroy. “I will carry Brielle.”
“yes! brother.”
Thanks to the medicine Zeon gave them, Brielle and Elroy’s condition improved. But I still couldn’t come to my senses.
The two people carried Brielle and Elroy, respectively.
Levin asked.
“What are you going to do now?”
“I will force the exit open, so stay alert and follow me.”
“Is that possible?”
Instead of answering, Zeon pulled out something from subspace.
What he took out was a blue bead the size of a child’s fist.
‘Leviathan’s core. ‘With this, you’ll be able to crack the dungeon.’
It was the core where all of Leviathan’s power was concentrated.
It has that much power.
‘The power of the dungeon is proportional to the boss. Leviathan is a magical beast that surpasses the King of Knights. If you set off the core containing its power, you will definitely be able to crack the dungeon.’
In theory, it is possible.
However, theory and practice cannot always be the same.
If things don’t go according to plan, there is only death.
If you really have to calculate it, the probability of success is about ten percent. But Zeon had no choice.
Zeon injected mana into Leviathan’s core.
Kwakwakwa!
Leviathan’s core, which accepted the heterogeneous mana, exploded.
Tremendous power emanated from Leviathan’s core.
The power radiating from Leviathan’s core and the power of the dungeon collided.
bang! bang! Quang!
Explosions occurred throughout the dungeon.
It was a sight as if the end of the world had come.
Levin looked at Xeon with an anxious expression.
“brother?”
“Just wait a little longer.”
Zeon watched the changes in the dungeon without blinking.
It was then.
A strange fissure appeared a hundred meters away from them.
“There it is. Follow me.”
“yes! brother.”
They jumped into the crack without hesitation.
Levin’s mind went blank due to the tremendous pressure he felt for the first time in his life.
Zeon said as he held Levin’s hand.
“If you lose your mind, it’s over. “Take care of yourself.”
“Yes, yes!”
Levin barely managed to keep his composure and looked at Zeon.
The inside of the crack was pitch black.
Levin felt afraid in the thick darkness that seemed to never end. However, Zeon was staring straight ahead with his eyes wide open, as if he felt no fear. Seeing Zeon like that gave Levin courage.
At that time, Zeon noticed something and shouted.
“It’s over there.”
A pure white light appeared where his gaze was directed.
The pure white light was gradually decreasing.
If the light disappears like this, they will forever be lost in the dimension.
Without any hesitation, Zeon launched himself towards the pure white light, and Levin followed suit.
Shoooo!
By a narrow margin, they were able to pass through the pure white light.
What greeted them as they passed through the light was red sand.
They fell into the sand with a ‘thud’ sound.
“ha! ha! Did it come out?”
Levin took a deep breath and looked around.
It was my first time being so happy to see nothing but sand.
“Whoa!”
Zeon sighed in relief and lay down on the sand.
As I overexerted myself, I felt pain as if my entire body was disintegrating.
Zeon placed his body in the sand and closed his eyes.
Like Zeon, Levin also lay down on his back and muttered.
“ha! “You’re alive.”
Even the stiff sand breeze felt welcome, and I felt at ease in the hot sand.
Because I lived, I was able to happily accept even the pain.
***
“Damn it! I can’t believe I was defeated without being able to resist even once. Lee Ji -ryeong is a dog! “If I go back to Neo Seoul, they won’t leave me alone.”
“For some reason, I didn’t believe it from the beginning.”
Elroy and Brielle were furious.
This was his reaction after coming to his senses and hearing that Lee Ji-ryeong had secretly attacked him.
Elroy swung the crazy nine-tailed fox into the air for a long time, and Brielle vowed to make the worst poison on earth and pour it into Ji-ryeong Lee’s mouth.
Zeon and Levin waited for the women’s seizure to end.
Fortunately, after about an hour, they quieted down.
Eloi, who had calmed down to some extent, asked Zeon.
“But where is this place? “Once you get out of the dungeon, shouldn’t you come out through the entrance?”
“I escaped by forcibly creating a crack in the dungeon, so the exit must have been randomly generated.”
“So that means you don’t know.”
“that’s right!”
Zeon nodded.
The dungeon was a byproduct of Kurayan wandering the dimension.
If you come out through a place other than the normal entrance, you could end up lost in another dimension.
The fact that they safely returned to Earth was a miracle in itself.
Even though I don’t know where I returned.
Brielle asked cautiously.
“But we can still go back to Neo Seoul?”
“of course. Who is this person? The best guide in the desert. No navigator can find the way like this man. “I guarantee it.”
Eloi, who watched from the side, knew best how good Zeon was at finding his way.
Returning to Neo Seoul was not a problem.
The only problem was how long it would take.
Zeon said, looking around.
“First of all, you need to know where this place is. “If you know the exact location of this place, it won’t be that difficult to find Neo Seoul.”
It was impossible even for Zeon to figure out where this place was just by looking at the surrounding scenery.
This is because the desert landscape is almost similar.
“Once everyone has recovered to some extent, let’s move.”
Zeon walked in front and Brielle Levin Elroy followed.
They walked on the hot desert sand.
At first, we talked about various things, but as we walked longer, everyone became quiet.
Walking in the desert consumed several times more physical strength than walking on flat ground. Brielle, as well as Levin and Elroy, were unable to open their mouths due to the extreme loss of physical strength.
In particular, Brielle, who had the weakest physical strength, was a problem.
“Huh! “Huh!”
Her face was pitifully red and she was breathing heavily.
Levin held out his hand to Brielle, who was staggering as if she would collapse at any moment.
“Hold my hand.”
“are you okay. “I can go alone.”
“Don’t be stubborn.”
Levin forcibly grabbed Brielle’s hand.
“thank you!”
“Let’s have a little more strength.”
“huh!”
Brielle walked on the sand, relying on Levin.
Although he didn’t look back, Xeon also knew that Brielle was having a hard time. Nevertheless, the reason he does not help is because he knows that such kindness would actually harm Brielle.
The biggest enemy in the desert wasn’t the hot sand or the sun that seemed to burn everything.
It was my patience and faith.
The desert endlessly tests people and puts them in a corner.
Zeon knew very well that those who cannot endure it and do not believe in themselves will never be able to survive in the desert.
For both Brielle and Levin, this was their first true journey in the desert.
They had to overcome this adversity on their own.
Zeon walked at a pace that allowed them to follow.
Fortunately, Brielle did not fall behind and followed Zeon persistently.
As I walked like that, the sun began to set.
Zeon finally stopped and said.
“Let’s rest here today.”
“ha!”
“I lived.”
Brielle and Levin sat down on the floor at the same time.
Elroy also sat down next to them with a tired expression and rested.
Although she didn’t say it, she was also tired from the long march.
Among them, only Xeon was alive.
Crash!
Zeon moved sand to create a wall.
In an instant, a shelter was created to avoid the sandstorm.
“It looks like there are no demonic beasts nearby, so you can rest well today.”
“I’m glad I have a brother. “What would have happened if we had fallen on our own…”
Levin trembled as if it was terrible to even imagine it.
Zeon chuckled and said to Levin.
“If you just gain a little experience, you will be able to get through it well. By the way, take out the food you stored in subspace.”
“yes!”
Levin took out the food and water he had brought from his backpack.
Fortunately, I brought enough with me so I felt like I could last for a few days.
“You took care of it very well. good job!”
“lol!”
Levin smiled shyly at Elroy’s praise.
What Levin brought was a packed lunch sold at a street vendor in the slums.
It was a method that could be used because time does not pass in subspace.
Thanks to this, the group was able to eat their fill.
“under! “I think I’ll buy it.”
“Whew!”
“It’s not like falling out, it’s like camping.”
Brielle Levin Eloy looked satisfied.
They were all awakened.
I’m very tired right now, but I’ve eaten enough, so I’ll be able to recover quickly.
Levin took out backpacks from subspace and distributed them to the group.
“Did you even bring a backpack? “You are well prepared.”
“It was rewarding to give you the subspace backpack.”
Levin smiled bitterly at the two women’s compliments.
“I was hoping that I wouldn’t have to write anything while I was preparing, but I didn’t know that Lee Ji-ryeong would hit me like that.”
“That’s right. Still, I thought you were a person who kept his promises.”
Elroy gritted his teeth.
Lee Ji-ryeong’s reputation in Neo Seoul was quite good.
His image was that of a capable leader with a cold personality and no mercy, but who still kept his word.
Thanks to this, awakened people lined up to join the Pegasus raid.
Although we suffered tremendous damage during this expedition, we gained a lot of loot, so we will be able to quickly recover from the damage.
“Once I get back to Neo Seoul, I will expose this bastard. I will show you that the city hall supervisor is not such a funny person.”
Elroy gritted his teeth, vowing revenge.
After that, they fell asleep while talking about how they could get revenge on Lee Ji-ryeong.
When everyone fell asleep, Zeon quietly stood up.
There was so much sand in the air that you couldn’t see the stars.
One way to find your way in the desert was to use constellations to determine your location.
Zeon’s body rose into the air without a sound.
The sand pushes his body up.
Zeon rose high into the sky on the sand.
As he rose through the sand-filled atmospheric layer, a dazzling sea of stars unfolded before Zeon.
It was a fantastic scenery that no one in Neo Seoul had ever seen.
It was a world allowed only to Zeon, the sand wizard.
Zeon looked at the scene for a long time.
