Sand Mage of the Burnt Desert - Chapter 191
Sand Mage Of The Burnt Desert Chapter 191
Episode 191
Orcs are a fighting race.
Warlike, tireless, and always full of fighting spirit. So they fight all the time.
They fight to hunt for food, fight with other races, and even fight among themselves.
Since fighting was part of our daily lives, it was natural that we couldn’t come together properly.
Because of that, the orcs could not form large groups.
There were as few as a few dozen or as many as a hundred or so living together.
If you collect more than that, the problem will become too big to handle on your own.
Because of that, the Orcs were not that threatening in Kurayan.
The power of individual orcs is scary, but since they cannot unite as one, they can be defeated individually without difficulty.
But there were times when the orcs became scary.
That was when the Orc Grand Commander was born.
The orc warlord is powerful.
It is so strong that even hundreds of ordinary orcs can attack it at once.
The biggest problem is that with the birth of the Orc Grand Commander, great changes appear in Orc society.
Influenced by the birth of the Orc Grand Commander, Orcs with outstanding strength and wisdom are born.
They are drawn to the fate of the Orc High Commander, gather by his side, and grow together.
Orc priests and orc riders are also born at this time.
They exercise force on behalf of the will of the Orc Grand Commander.
When the orc warlord grows up and fully assumes the role of ruler, the orc riders go to the scattered groups to announce the birth of the warlord.
A group of orcs cannot disobey their great commander.
The call of the Orc High Commander is the call of fate.
In this way, the orc hordes gather under the command of their great commander and form a large army.
A large group of orcs attacks other nearby races, annihilates them, and takes everything they have.
The presence of the Orc Grand Commander was like a drug to the Orcs.
The mere presence of the Grand Commander paralyzes reason and inspires the fighting spirit many times over. Physical abilities also increase dramatically.
There weren’t many people who could stop this.
Just as there is no crop left when a swarm of locusts sweeps past, there is no life left in a place where a large army of orcs sweeps through.
The Orc warlord was an object of fear. So in Kurayan, whenever there was a sign that an Orc warlord was born, they would hunt him down and kill him.
But Earth was different.
Few people knew about the existence of the Orc Grand Commander.
Even though there were, there were only a few and the seriousness was not recognized.
It is impossible to even imagine that an Orc warlord would be born on an Earth that has turned into a desert.
Elroy muttered.
“Of course. “The Orc Grand Commander is born and unites the group.”
“He’s the Orc warlord…”
Zeon’s eyes turned cold.
Just by looking at Eloi’s atmosphere, it seemed like he could see how threatening the Orc warlord was.
Above all, the orcs saw humans as food.
If the orcs become rampant under the orc warlord, countless humans will become their food and disappear.
It was truly the greatest threat to the humans who had struggled to survive.
Zeon looked around.
“How many humans are alive here?”
It was an environment that seemed completely uninhabitable for humans, but Zeon knew well how persistent humans were.
Didn’t people who were attacked by orcs survive by digging burrows in the sand? There are probably other people like him nearby.
Eloi spoke to Zeon with a stern expression.
“We need to quickly report this to Neo Seoul and take action.”
“Will Neo Seoul really move? Even if the Orc army spreads, it won’t be a big threat to Neo Seoul.”
“that’s right! “Humans don’t move easily unless there is a direct threat.”
Brielle agreed with Zeon.
It was no secret that demonic beasts could not approach Neo Seoul.
Even large demon beasts couldn’t approach, so there was no way small species like orcs could approach.
I don’t know if it’s the Orc Grand Commander himself, but other Orcs won’t even be able to get near Neo Seoul.
Therefore, it was clear that Neo Seoul would not feel that much of a threat even if the Orcs were to spread.
Elroy gritted his teeth.
“But we still have to get it moving. Even by using the authority of a supervisor.”
The supervisor had the authority to identify and report on all threats to Neo Seoul and establish countermeasures.
Elroy planned to use his authority to the fullest.
Zeon said.
“First of all, I have to go back to Neo Seoul quickly.”
“Take us to Neo Seoul as quickly as possible. please.”
“Of course.”
Zeon nodded.
The ferocity of the Orcs has already been confirmed underground.
If the orcs are left to spread, the number of victims will increase exponentially.
Such a situation had to be prevented from happening.
＊＊＊
Zeon led the group and walked towards Neo Seoul.
After meeting the Orc riders, Eloi and Brielle’s talkativeness decreased significantly. Since they were elves, they were very nervous about the appearance of orcs.
There was a deep-rooted hatred toward the Orcs in their blood. That’s why we took this situation more seriously.
Levin came to Zeon’s side and asked carefully.
“How strong is the Orc Grand Commander?”
“well! “I don’t know because I’ve never seen it before.”
“But it must be very strong, right?”
“Otherwise, we won’t be able to unite the orcs.”
“I’m worried. “What if the real guys lose their fear and invade Neo Seoul?”
“There is nothing to worry about in Neo Seoul. “No matter how many orcs come, it won’t budge.”
“Is Neo Seoul’s defense power that strong?”
“If you look around the world a little more, you will find out. What a ridiculous place Neo Seoul is. “I’ve traveled halfway around the world, but I’ve yet to see a place as perfect as Neo Seoul.”
“okay.”
Levin knew very well that Zeon’s words were not an exaggeration.
“The problem is the people who couldn’t enter Neo Seoul.”
“Are there many people like that?”
“There will be more than you think.”
“Ugh!”
Levin sighed.
Zeon tapped Levin on the shoulder.
“But don’t be too sympathetic.”
“brother?”
“These are people who have survived for over a hundred years. “Those who will survive will survive somehow because they will have accumulated their own survival know-how.”
“I really hope so.”
“Let’s hope so.”
“yes!”
Levin looked at Zeon’s back and walked eagerly.
I could feel the solidity of Zeon’s back.
He wasn’t that big, and he didn’t have a broad back either.
He wasn’t massively muscular, nor did he have overwhelming charisma.
However, Zeon gave the group a sense of stability even without those factors.
His steadfastness, as if he would never waver no matter what and would stand in his place, made those who were with him believe and follow him.
Levin wanted to emulate Zeon’s toughness.
It was then.
Zeon suddenly stopped.
Levin and Eloy Brielle closed their mouths and looked at Zeon.
This is because we now know that when Xeon suddenly stops like this, it is when it senses something.
After a while, Zeon opened his mouth.
“It’s a sandworm.”
“yes?”
“There is a sandworm a hundred meters ahead, so don’t move for a moment.”
“all right.”
The three people nodded.
Sandworms detect the movement of objects through vibrations transmitted through the sand.
If you make a loud noise and don’t move, the sandworm won’t detect you.
On the contrary, Xeon was able to sense the movements of the sandworm as if reading the palm of his hand.
Slurp!
I felt the sandworm moving through the sand.
The sandworm, which was spinning nearby for a while, soon began moving in one direction at a frightening speed.
‘what? ‘Have you found food?’
The fact that the sandworm was moving at such a fast speed meant that it had identified its prey.
Fortunately, the direction it was heading was opposite to where Zeon was.
“done. “He’s gone.”
“Have you found your prey?”
“okay!”
“I wish it was an orc.”
Levin expressed his hatred for orcs.
Zeon nodded and agreed with his opinion.
Eloi approached Zeon.
“The sun will set in a little while, so shouldn’t we decide on a campsite now?”
“This is not a good place to camp. “Let’s find a safer place and set up camp.”
“okay.”
Eloi followed Zeon’s opinion without saying anything.
It was thanks to Zeon that I was able to come here without encountering demonic beasts.
There is no better guide in the desert than Zeon.
The caravan’s navigator also had to give up in front of the Xeon.
It was time for Zeon to lead the group and head to another place.
bang!
Suddenly, a faint explosion was heard from afar.
Zeon muttered as he heard the explosion.
“It looks like a sandworm came up on the sand. “Is he such an easy prey?”
It was a sandworm that had few enemies in the sand.
Because the sand acts as a shield, even giant demonic beasts on the ground could not easily hunt sandworms.
There was only one case where such a sandworm came to the ground.
It was a time when the prey on the ground was just as formidable.
When it is determined that it is safe to climb on the sand, it emerges to the ground.
Just like when Xeon first encountered the sandworm.
At that time, Zeon was on the bus and most of the people on the bus were helpless.
It was because he smelled lethargy that he so boldly targeted the bus.
Zeon thought it was the same this time too.
Anyway, it wasn’t something he should worry about.
All he had to worry about was returning safely to Neo Seoul with his group. I didn’t want to be distracted by anything else.
That was when Zeon was walking carelessly.
“Ahh!”
“Help me!”
Suddenly, a young voice was heard from far away.
Zeon and the others stopped at the spot.
“what?”
“It’s a person.”
“Why children’s voices?”
The voice I heard just now clearly belonged to a child.
Two children were running from far away.
Behind it, dust was rising fiercely.
Sandworms are tracking children.
Levin, who saw this, rushed out without anyone to stop him.
The thought of having to save the children made my body move uncontrollably.
Levin, who instantly turned into a ghost, approached the children.
bang!
At that moment, a sandworm chasing the children appeared, drinking heavily.
The sandworm opened its big mouth and tried to eat the children in one go.
“no!”
A purple electric current emanated from Levin’s ghostly body.
It was Levin’s unique purple lightning.
Quarrr!
Purple Lightning hit the sandworm.
The sandworm hesitated for a moment due to the high-voltage electric current hitting its entire body. But soon he raised his head as if nothing had happened.
Because it was so large and had a thick shell, the electric current could not penetrate the inside, which only made it angry.
The sandworm was very angry and opened its mouth to attack Levin.
Levin glared at the sandworm that was floating in the air and rushing toward him with its large mouth open.
“Let’s see if the inside is as solid as the outside.”
Kwasik!
At that moment, the sandworm swallowed Levin.
“oh!”
“Levin?”
Eloi and Brielle, who were watching the scene from afar, shouted in surprise.
It was then.
Flash!
Suddenly, a purple flash exploded from the sandworm’s mouth.
Levin radiated purple lightning from the sandworm’s body.
Wow!
The sandworm rolled around on the floor, feeling tremendous pain for the first time, and tried to vomit Levin. However, it was impossible to vomit Levin, who had turned into a ghost.
Rather, Levin increased the intensity of Purple Lightning.
Quang!
In an instant, the huge sandworm exploded with an explosion.
Brielle exclaimed.
“wow!”
