Sand Mage of the Burnt Desert - Chapter 189
Sand Mage Of The Burnt Desert Chapter 189
Episode 189
Levin suffered from extreme pain and fainted, and it was not until the next morning that he opened his eyes.
“cadet! “I almost fell.”
Levin was disgusted, as if just imagining the pain of last night was terrible.
It was the first pain I had experienced in my life.
I didn’t want to experience this pain again.
Eloy, who was looking at Levin, said in surprise.
“Oh, your body has changed?”
“yes?”
“Why are you feeling so good?”
“Really?”
Levin slightly lifted his jacket. Then, the sharp, angular abs came into view.
Not only that, but even his chest, arms, and legs were full of muscle.
Levin’s original body type was slim. There wasn’t that much muscle either.
However, he became muscular overnight.
Just like a horse, it has solid and powerful muscles.
Levin asked Xeon.
“Is this because of the sand angler’s gallbladder?”
“that’s right!”
“Wow! “You can change like this just by eating one gallbladder?”
“That’s the effect of sand maw. “It’s hard to hunt, but once you take gallbladder, it will keep your body in optimal condition.”
“Thank you, bro! “You can’t believe you gave me something so precious.”
Levin looked at Zeon with an expression of emotion. Then Eloi and Brielle grumbled.
“Tsk! “If I had known it would be like this, I would have said I would eat it.”
“me too! what a waste.”
Although he said that, he didn’t look envious at all.
Eloi had already trained her body to the point where she no longer needed the gallbladder of a sand maw, and Brielle was not a martial arts awakened person so she did not need to train her body.
Zeon said.
“Let’s eat all the sand angler fish while we stay here.”
“yes!”
Since Levin had already experienced the benefits of the gallbladder, he answered without hesitation.
After that, Zeon and his party stayed at the oasis for one more day.
Meanwhile, Brielle made a robe from the belly skin of a sand maw.
Her conical hat yielded endless materials for making robes.
The belly skin was cut with magical scissors and the cut belly skin was coated with an unknown liquid.
Then, a magic circle was carved and mana was injected.
The three people watched Brielle’s actions in silence.
All of the liquids Brielle used to make her robes were created directly through alchemy.
He created a liquid with efficacy that had never existed before.
Brielle tried to give new properties to the robe using the liquid created through alchemy.
He has reached a high level not only in alchemy but also as an enchanter.
Elroy looked at Brielle with surprised eyes, knowing how great it was.
‘This kid is really no joke.’
When the magic circle was activated by injecting mana, the robe glowed.
A new quality has emerged.
“Great! “It is complete.”
Brielle held up her robe and smiled broadly.
Levin asked cautiously.
“What kind of temperament did you have?”
“Fatigue recovery and protection functions have been added to the cold weather and heat dissipation. “At this level, there are plenty of options.”
“As expected, it’s amazing.”
“Hehe!”
Brielle put on a robe. Then, the heat was cut off and breathing became easier.
The performance she needed now has been achieved.
Even though it was made hastily, it was quite a success.
Brielle even made shoes while she was leaving.
After several attempts, she was finally able to impart lightweight properties to the shoes.
Just by keeping your body light and preventing it from sinking into the sand, you will be able to prevent your physical strength from being reduced to nothing.
While Brielle was finishing the robe and shoes, Oasis disappeared like a lie.
Since they had eaten all the sand angler fish, Zeon and his party left the place where the oasis was.
Brielle muttered as she followed Zeon.
‘exciting. It’s not hard anymore. It’s not even hot. When I return to Neo Seoul, I’ll have to find a way to further improve the robe’s performance.’
Even though I walked for a long time, I wasn’t tired and I didn’t feel the heat, so it was comfortable.
At this rate, I felt like I wouldn’t get tired even if I walked all day.
Brielle hummed without realizing it.
It wasn’t difficult for Levin either.
The speed at which the group moves has become faster than ever before.
Thanks to this, Elroy no longer needs to worry about them in the rear.
Eloi approached Zeon, who was walking at the front.
“You’ve been wandering the desert for a long time, right?”
“yes!”
“Then there’s no place you haven’t been to. Have you ever been around here?”
“Not everyone has been there. “I have never been to the west of Neo Seoul.”
Eight years wasn’t that long.
It wasn’t enough to walk the entire Earth.
The places Zeon has been to so far have been limited to the southern and eastern areas of Neo Seoul.
The west was an unknown land even for Zeon.
I didn’t know what kind of demons lived here, what kind of environment it was, or what kind of people lived here.
Zeon said, looking around.
“I don’t know how far it is from Neo Seoul, but if I’m lucky, I might be able to find a colony.”
“Is there a colony in a place like this? No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t look like an environment suitable for people to live in.”
“I have seen people survive even in worse conditions. “There must be survivors somewhere.”
Zeon’s words contained strong conviction.
To that extent, he believed in human power.
‘Even if the Earth becomes more damaged than this, humans will definitely survive. Each human being is weak, but when united as one, they exert amazing power.’
However, contrary to Zeon’s expectations, no traces of humans were found even after walking for several days.
All that was visible was a vast, endless desert.
The companions were becoming exhausted from the never-ending torment. Still, Zeon did not get tired and led the group from the front.
“for a moment!”
Zeon suddenly stopped the group.
The three people looked at Zeon with puzzled expressions.
“why?”
“There is a demon ahead.”
“Demon beast? “I’ll go and check.”
Levin stepped forward.
He instantly turned into a ghost and flew away.
Elroy chuckled.
“They say he’s perfect as a scout.”
When Xeon sensed a risk factor, Levin stepped forward and scouted.
As I became a ghost frequently, the speed became faster and the maintenance time became longer.
Levin returned from reconnaissance in an instant.
“It’s a magical beast that resembles a wolf.”
“A wolf?”
“yes! It has big horns on its head and is very large. “It looks like it’s at least D grade.”
“If it’s D grade, it’s not that dangerous.”
Elroy chuckled.
“But…”
“Why?”
“There is a saddle on the wolf’s back.”
“If it’s a saddle, is it something a person can ride on?”
“yes!”
“So you’re saying there is a human who tamed a wolf demon?”
“I don’t know about that. “First of all, there were no humans around.”
“It would be amazing if humans really tamed the demonic beast.”
Elroy looked excited.
They hurriedly headed to the place where the wolf demon was.
After crossing the large sand mountain, a wide basin appeared.
As Levin said, there were magical beasts resembling wolves there. There was a large saddle on the backs of the horsemen.
Zeon said.
“The saddle is too big for a human to ride.”
“I know. “It looks like it was made to be ridden by something much larger than a human.”
It was then.
The wolf beasts suddenly howled.
Oooooh!
At that moment, the sand tens of meters away from where the wolf beasts were moved and the floor opened.
What appeared next was a humanoid monster about two to three meters tall.
Clothes and a large knife made from the skin of an animal with an ugly face and large molars protruding from its lips.
It was similar to a human, but it was not human.
“That one?”
“Oh…it’s big.”
It was Brielle who discovered their identity.
Levin asked.
“That’s an orc?”
“It’s an orc! The only race that exudes such pleasure is the orcs. “Why are orcs here?”
Brielle looked like she didn’t understand.
It was Zeon who answered her question.
“It seems like there’s something underground here that might interest the orcs.”
“what is that?”
Brielle tilted her head.
The orcs she knew were simply ignorant.
Orcs, who were born with strong bodies, had no concept of adapting to their environment.
When it’s cold, I just endure it, and when it’s hot, I just endure it.
They also don’t like things that are crowded, so they rarely go underground. There was only one reason for those Orcs to go underground.
“There could be food or humans in there…”
Brielle trembled as if it was terrifying to even imagine it.
The orcs that came out approached the wolf beast. Then the wolf beasts glared at where Zeon and the others were and growled.
Brielle said, frowning.
“I guess they smelled us and called the orcs.”
“Those wolves have that kind of intelligence?”
“It’s not an ordinary wolf. “It’s a blood wolf ridden by orc riders.”
“Blood Wolf?”
“huh! They say he is fierce and cruel, and has the intelligence of a child. “It’s my first time seeing it in person, too.”
This was something I heard from an adult in a high elf village.
It’s been so long since I heard it that I barely remember it, but the moment I saw the orcs, I remembered it.
“Chwiik! human!”
“It stinks.”
The orcs seemed to understand the meaning of the blood wolf’s cries and jumped on its back.
Surprisingly, the orcs spoke language like humans.
Although there was an unpleasant breathing sound mixed in, the pronunciation was the same as that of a human.
Blood Wolves carrying Orc riders came running at terrifying speed.
“You’re human.”
“batten. Catch it.”
The orcs who discovered Zeon and his group shouted.
Eloy got angry at that.
“Insolent orc bastards! “Who are you telling me to feed?”
She took out the crazy nine-tailed fox and launched herself at the orcs.
“Chwiik! “It’s an elf.”
“Elves are tasteless. kill.”
The Orcs discovered Eloi’s identity and unleashed their murderous spirit.
Kwakwakwak!
Eloi and Orc riders clashed.
Eloi went wild against more than a dozen blood wolves and orc riders.
“Kkuweek!”
“It’s a crazy elf.”
Zeon took a step forward as he watched the Orc riders dying from Eloi’s attack.
The place he headed was the underground passage where the orcs crawled out.
There was a rotten smell coming from the basement, but Zeon went into the basement without any hesitation.
It was a space like an ant cave.
The wall made of sand managed to maintain its shape without collapsing, no matter what efforts were made.
There were several small rooms along the walls.
Zeon opened one of them.
At that moment, a bloody smell came out.
Zeon’s face hardened as he saw the object giving off the smell of blood.
This is because the objects piled up in the room were none other than human corpses.
The bodies of humans who had recently died were tangled together like trash, giving off a bloody smell.
“ha!”
A sigh came out of my mouth.
There is no way orcs would dig caves under the sand to make shelter, so this place must have been created by humans. Then, it was clear that he was discovered and killed by Orc riders passing by.
The marks of the Orcs’ teeth were clearly visible on the bodies of the corpses.
It was clear that they were killing and eating them before Zeon and his group arrived.
All of them were skinny and unsightly corpses.
People who hid under the sand to somehow survive in this hellish world. But the orcs found them.
There was no land granted to humans who gave up fighting.
“I hope they are born in a peaceful place in the next world….”
Zeon lit a flame while praying for their souls to rest in peace.
