Sand Mage of the Burnt Desert - Chapter 192

Sand Mage Of The Burnt Desert Chapter 192

Episode 192:

The sight of the giant sandworm exploding was a spectacular sight.

The remains of sandworms were flying everywhere and a deep hole was created on the floor.

In the middle of it all, there was Levin, who had turned into a ghost.

The purple electric current emanating from Levin gradually subsided, and the ghost form disappeared.

“ha!”

Levin let out the breath he had been holding.

Entering the stomach of a sandworm and attacking it was an adventure even for him.

I knew that if I turned into a ghost, I wouldn’t be damaged by physical attacks, but jumping into the belly of a demonic beast on my own was another matter.

It took courage and a lot of guts not to be afraid of death.

Fortunately, Levin had a good mind and courage.

He risked his life and the result was the death of the sandworm.

Zeon said, patting Levin on the shoulder.

“Good job.”

“brother!”

“You just have to keep doing that from now on.”

“yes!”

Levin nodded with a stern expression.

Zeon passed by Levin and approached the children who had been targeted by the sandworm.

They were children who looked to be barely ten years old.

A boy who looks like an older brother and a girl who is younger than him.

The clothes, which seemed to be made from the skin of a witch, were reminiscent of leather armor from the Middle Ages.

It was a rugged design that would never be worn in Neo Seoul.

The two children looked at Zeon with frightened expressions.

The sandworm that chased them was scary, but the unfamiliar visitors who easily defeated the sandworm were even scarier.

Zeon got down on one knee and made eye contact with the children.

“Do you live here?”

“….”

“Where are the adults?”

“….”

After that, Zeon asked several times, but the children kept their mouths shut and did not answer.

At that time, Brielle came forward.

“hi! My name is Brielle. As you can see, we are not from here. It’s a passing road. I have no interest in you and no intention of harming you. So you don’t have to be so wary. “I’ll just take you guys and then we’ll leave.”

“….”

“If you’re not going to tell me, we’ll just leave. “We are really busy.”

“Are you really going to take us home and leave?”

The boy gathered courage and opened his mouth.

Brielle smiled slightly.

“of course.”

“Then, let me ask you a favor.”

“good! By the way, what are your names? “Don’t you think I should at least know your name?”

“My name is Jacob and my sister is Lucy.”

“But there are only two of you? “What about other people?”

“All the adults who came out with us are dead.”

Jacob glared at the remains of the sandworm.

I could understand what happened without having to listen any further.

He probably went out with adults and became a target for sandworms. All the adults were eaten by sandworms, and only the children barely survived and ran away, meeting Zeon and others.

Zeon said.

“Take the lead. “Don’t worry about the demon beast.”

“yes!”

Jacob walked ahead with Lucy, and Zeon and the others followed.

Eloi approached Zeon and whispered quietly.

“Are you really planning to just take those kids and leave?”

“I saw it.”

“I never imagined I would meet children in a place like this. “How did you survive in this environment?”

“I told you, right? “Humans can adapt and survive in any environment.”

“I admit that. “That’s probably the biggest difference between elves and humans.”

Elroy smiled bitterly.

If the elves had the adaptability of humans, they would have created their own city instead of living as parasites in Neo Seoul.

Of course, I heard that there was a city called El Harun, only for the different races, but it was not a city only for the elves.

If only the elves had come over, they probably wouldn’t have been able to build such an independent force.

Jacob and Lucy glanced back as they walked.

At first his expression was full of fear, but now he was filled with curiosity.

The two children were natives of this place.

They were children born and raised in the desert and had never had contact with outsiders.

The village where they were born taught that all outsiders were enemies. To that extent, their village was closed and communication with the outside world was completely cut off.

I wondered if it was the right thing to do to bring outsiders to such a village, but they had no choice.

Although it wasn’t far from here to the village, it was swarming with numerous demons.

There was no way two children could navigate such a dangerous path.

In the end, I needed their help to return to the village.

Lucy whispered to Jacob.

“Is it okay if I take them with me? “Adults will hate it.”

“It can’t be helped. “If it’s not them, how can we get back to the village on our own?”

“But…”

“I’ll take responsibility for everything, brother. “You don’t have to worry.”

“okay.”

Lucy looked at the side of Jacob’s face with a worried expression.

Even though he wasn’t the village’s worst bastard, I was worried about how much he would be mistreated because of this.

It was then.

Aww!

A wolf’s howl was heard from afar.

Jacob and Lucy’s expressions completely changed.

“It’s a fire wolf.”

“oh my god?”

“Shit!”

Flame wolves were the most common magical beasts here.

They had the habits of both wolves and hyenas.

Once it targets its prey, it has the habit of following it until the end and clinging to it until it dies.

The most dangerous thing about them is that they move around in groups.

Once they capture their prey, they chew down even the bones, so once they are caught, they disappear without even leaving a trace.

Originally, this was not a flame wolf habitat. But by chance, a group of people passing by attacked and ate the human.

The pack of flame wolves that tasted human meat did not leave and stayed in place.

Because of this, the villagers’ range of movement became narrower.

Aww!

A pack of flame wolves appeared, kicking up dust.

Flames were flickering from their snouts and tails. So it was given the name Flame Wolf.

Because of the fear that was deeply imprinted in their hearts, Jacob and Lucy couldn’t move and just trembled.

At that time, Elroy came forward.

She took out the crazy nine-tailed fox and ran towards the pack of flame wolves.

“For bastards who have lost their fear, a stick is medicine.”

There were up to hundreds of flame wolves in packs, but right now there were only a few dozen standing in front of her.

This wasn’t a big threat to her.

“Chaaa! Illusion Spear!”

Eloi’s Spear The number of crazy nine-tailed foxes instantly increased to dozens.

You can’t tell which is real and which is fake.

While the flame wolves were struggling, Eloi’s attacks poured in.

Kwakwakwak!

Wow!

Wow!

An explosion and a fire wolf scream rang out at the same time.

A dozen flame wolves lost their breath.

Eloi then jumped into the group of surviving flame wolves and swung his spear.

A one-sided massacre unfolded.

Every time she swung her spear, three or four flame wolves fell to their deaths.

The Flame Wolf was no match for Eloi.

“I’m fussing over trivial things.”

Eloi killed all the flame wolves in an instant.

Jacob and Lucy looked at Elroy with disbelief.

“why?”

“Much stronger than the village adults.”

There are awakened people in the village where they live. But they also had no choice but to avoid the flame wolf. However, Elroy cleared out the flame wolf pack too easily.

It’s a sight I would never have believed if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes.

Eloi easily cleared out the Levin fire wolf pack that instantly killed the sandworm.

The children couldn’t even guess how strong the party they were in was.

Eloi was rummaging through the bodies of dead flame wolves.

Unfortunately, the magic stone was not found.

“no way! There is nothing but chaff. “I think they were left out of the main group.”

Elroy returned to the group with a regretful expression.

It was a major event for the children, but for her, it was not something to be proud of.

Zeon said to the children.

“Now there will no longer be demons blocking the way. “Let’s go.”

“yes!”

Jacob answered and guided Zeon and the others to the village.

After walking for about thirty minutes, a mountain made of sandstone appeared.

Even though it was a mountain, it was only about a hundred meters high. The slope was steep and rose almost vertically.

A large cave entrance was visible on the wall of the mountainside.

At the entrance to the cave, men who appeared to be awakened were standing guard.

Jacob said.

“That is our village.”

“You created a village in a good place to block demonic beasts.”

Large species cannot be stopped, but many small species would not even dare to climb that wall.

Thanks to this, the village has been able to survive until now.

Although the location is remote, communication with the outside world is completely cut off.

As Zeon and his group approached, the awakened people standing guard shouted.

“Stop right there.”

“If you get close, I will attack.”

Their voices were full of caution.

“wait a minute. Uncle Jack. It’s us. Jacob and Lucy.”

“uh? Why are you guys there? “What about the people I went out with?”

“We were all attacked by sandworms and died.”

“So…”

“If it weren’t for them, we would have become food for sandworms.”

At Jacob’s words, the awakened people looked at each other’s faces.

Their village was completely isolated from the outside world. The village members themselves completely cut off communication with the outside world.

Because of that, it was my first time seeing an outsider.

The awakened people, who did not know what to do, spoke.

“Everyone, wait a moment. “I will inform the elders.”

“Please at least let us in for now.”

“That can’t be possible. “You have been in contact with outsiders without permission, so we cannot let you in unless the elders give permission.”

“Shit! “Don’t do that.”

“It’s the rules of the village.”

“Then at least let Lucy in. “It’s not such an unreasonable request.”

“There are no exceptions to the rule.”

Jacob bit his lip at the Awakened’s cold attitude.

“Then please tell me quickly.”

“wait. Because everything in the village has procedures. You too, stay calm. “If you try to enter the village hastily, I won’t let you go.”

The Awakened also warned Zeon and his party.

Zeon shrugged his shoulders to show that he had no hostility.

Levin whispered to Eloy.

“The atmosphere in the village seems unusual.”

“It seems so. “It’s an atmosphere where those children are not welcome.”

“What’s the story?”

“don’t mind. “After all, we are just passing by.”

“yes! “I just said this out of curiosity.”

“Such a closed group is also hostile to outsiders. “You probably won’t be welcome even if you go into that village.”

Eloy, who had lived in Neo Seoul for a long time, knew people’s physiology better than anyone else.

Just by looking at the atmosphere, it was easy to guess how closed off the village was.

Lucy took Jacob’s hand.

“Oppa, are you okay?”

“How could you do this to us? Who did the men die for? “You fucking old guys.”

“be careful! “I will listen.”

“Listen. A town like this should just be destroyed. That’s how you come to your senses.”

“Shh!”

At that time, about a dozen old people appeared at the entrance to the village.

They were the influential elders of this village.

One of the elders stepped forward and spoke.

“Jacob, you explain what happened. “Why did you bring in foreigners?”

“While carrying out the mission ordered by the elders, we encountered sandworms and everyone died. “If it weren’t for them, we would have died too.”

“Everyone died?”

“yes! Uncle Matthew, Uncle Buck, and Aunt Sarah are all missing. “I was trying to collect that sunflower.”

“Big!”

“If we hadn’t met these people, we would have died too. So please let me in quickly.”

“You guys just wait. After talking with them, we will decide whether to let them in or not.”

The elders’ gaze turned to Zeon and the others.

Zeon read the strong hostility in their eyes.
