Sand Mage Of The Burnt Desert Chapter 195
Episode 195
“Ugh!”
The man who was trying to remove Eloy’s clothes put his hand in his crotch and rolled around on the floor. His crotch was stained red with blood.
Elroy spat and muttered.
“Where are you taking out the dirty stuff? “It’s also small in size.”
“you you?”
“What, you pupa! “Just take care of yourself.”
Bye!
Eloy easily neutralized the man’s protests.
The man’s mind was blown away with one punch from her fist.
Leaving behind the man who had collapsed like a doll whose strings had been cut, Eloy came out to where Zeon was.
That place too had already been cleaned up.
Among the invaders, the only sane person was the leader.
His face was distorted to the point where it was pitiful to see.
“How? “The four-eyed bat’s venom completely paralyzes the human nerves, making it impossible for them to come to their senses.”
“It would be like that if you were caught defenseless.”
“So you were preparing in advance?”
“Isn’t it even weirder to be defenseless in an unfamiliar place?”
Zeon asked with a rather puzzled expression.
The scariest thing in this hellish world wasn’t the demon beasts.
It was the same human being.
Only humans commit fraud and take the lives of their own kind.
Moreover, the atmosphere in the steel fortress was not friendly when first entered. In such a situation, it was rather strange to sit idly by without making any preparations.
Fortunately, they had a detox potion made by Brielle.
Thanks to this, we were able to easily detoxify the nerve gas made by processing the venom of the four-eyed bat.
“Wow! How dare these bastards deceive me? “I will kill them all.”
The head man could not control his anger and screamed.
In an instant, black energy swirled around his body.
He shouted, shooting black energy towards Zeon and others.
“Anxiety Confusion Paralysis!”
“A curse.”
Zeon immediately recognized the identity of the energy emitted by the man.
That black energy was the crystallization of the curse.
If you are hit hard, various curses will paralyze your reason and weaken your body.
Zeon built a wall of sand around the man’s body.
The curse could not penetrate the sand wall and disappeared.
“what?”
“Mister, please get some sleep.”
Levin stepped forward and fired a lightning bolt into the man’s neck.
Absolutely!
With a spark, the man closed his eyes and fainted.
Now Levin can control the strength of the current at will. It was not a task for him to paralyze only the central nervous system by finely controlling the current.
Eloi said while looking at Zeon.
“What are you going to do? “You tried to kill us, but you’re going to leave us like this?”
“I’m thinking about it.”
“What is there to think about? “We need to find the people who used these guys and get rid of them right away.”
“What about after that?”
“What after?”
“Can you take responsibility?”
“What responsibility are you thinking of? “First of all, let’s just hit the nail on the head and see.”
“Two thousand people.”
“what?”
“This is the number of people who live here. That means the lives of 2,000 people are at stake.”
“Fuck!”
Eloi, who realized the meaning behind Zeon’s words, swore.
Zeon and them were the ones who were going to leave anyway.
However, 2,000 people had to live here even after that.
If they irresponsibly killed Gewen and others, no one could know what would happen to the future of Li Tian.
Hasty intervention greatly changes the lives of the people living within this fortress. It wasn’t Zeon’s way to intervene when he couldn’t take responsibility for their lives.
Elroy said with a sigh.
“phew! Life in this world is so complicated. What is the benefit of living simply?”
“I almost killed tens of thousands of people by acting so thoughtlessly.”
“You’re kidding, right?”
“….”
“It’s true.”
Elroy’s eyes wavered.
I had guessed that Zeon had an unspeakable past, but I never imagined that such an enormous past history existed.
Zeon said with a lonely expression.
“Even though it may not seem convincing from the outside, there is an ecosystem of its own here. If you intervene hastily, everything will be ruined.”
They were people who had survived independently for over a hundred years.
Living without contact with the outside world, it was natural for people to have a narrow perspective and an inability to think broadly.
Still, they have lived with their own rules and command system. Will such people be able to adapt to sudden change after losing their leadership?
Zeon was skeptical.
“If change happens, it has to happen from within people. Only then can we minimize the aftereffects.”
“Shit! “It would be better not to intervene and leave.”
“Let’s go to Elder Holtran’s house. “If you tell him what happened, he will figure out what to do.”
“ah! The inspiration? “Okay, that would be fine.”
Holtran was a figure inside the steel fortress.
If he led the change, the people of the Iron Fortress might also follow.
“But where is Holtran’s house?”
“I’ll look for it.”
Levin stepped forward.
He turned into a ghost and soon began to wander through the houses.
There were quite a few awakened people in the steel fortress, but no one noticed Levin, who had turned into a ghost.
After ten minutes, Levin was able to find Holtran’s house.
Although it was late at night, Holtran’s house was brightly lit.
Quite a few people, including Jacob Lucy, had gathered at his house.
They were all followers of Holtran.
The one who seemed to be the oldest among them was angry.
“We can’t leave Gewen like this. “Many people were ruined by his drug addiction.”
“Look at Jacob and Lucy. I almost died. “I left the children in my faction in a safe place and mobilized two children to collect sunflowers.”
People spoke passionately, and Holtran listened to them with his eyes closed.
People’s dissatisfaction was at its peak.
Gewen controlled the steel fortress with drugs and drinking water processed from sunflower.
Drugs were used to awaken people, and drinking water was used to control residents.
Therefore, nothing could be done without his permission.
This was the kingdom of Gewen.
Holtran and his henchmen rebelled against Gerwen’s tyranny, but realistically there was little they could do.
“If we stick to this lockdown policy, everyone will die. “You can only survive if you change through interactions with the outside world.”
“We have to somehow trade with a place called Neo Seoul.”
thought Levin, who secretly overheard their conversation.
‘Still, there are people who want change.’
Levin went back to Xeon, Eloi, and others and told them everything he had overheard.
Xeon made a decision.
“Take us to Holtran’s house.”
“yes!”
They all headed to Holtran’s house together.

“wow! “This is absolute paradise.”
Aslan looked around the inside of the steel fortress and whistled.
Although he didn’t say anything, Duduyan had the same thoughts.
It was only an hour ago that they infiltrated the steel fortress. In that time, they had looked around almost all of the inside of the steel fortress.
Contrary to expectations that security would be tight, the internal perimeter was extremely lax.
The entrance was the same.
There were two awakened people standing guard, but it was all formal, so it wasn’t that difficult to fool the eye and sneak in.
I was caught off guard because the entrance to the fortress was 70 meters above the ground.
Aslan asked Duduyan.
“how will we do it?”
“We must kill and steal all the awakened people.”
“I guess so too.”
“That’s how we survive.”
Duduyan answered without a moment of hesitation.
As the Pegasus raid party failed to plunder, the food and water situation worsened. If we don’t find a breakthrough as soon as possible, the Red Storm’s families will starve to death.
Duduyan stroked the handle of the dagger and said.
“I will assassinate the leader, so you do the preliminary work so that the leader can easily come in.”
“okay!”
Aslan smiled and answered.
Duduyan disappeared into the darkness in an instant.
As a dark elf, he has completely assimilated into darkness.
Aslan was not surprised at all because it was a sight he had seen many times.
“Then shall I try moving too?”
Aslan’s role in the Red Storm was infiltration and information gathering.
The goal is to provide Urtian with as accurate information as possible so that he can make a cool-headed decision.
Normally, I only played that role.
Because there is no reason to take any more risks. But in such a special situation, he had to take a risk.
He walked towards the entrance of the steel fortress.
“Who are you?”
“what?”
The awakened people guarding the entrance to the fortress were surprised by the popularity and took up arms. Then Aslan spoke calmly.
“It’s me.”
“who?”
“I don’t know? “Why is this so frustrating?”
The awakened people tilted their heads at Aslan’s naturally virtuous appearance.
The surroundings were dark, making it difficult to see the other person, and Aslan approached so naturally that they could not even imagine that he was an intruder.
The awakened man on guard remembered as many people as possible with similar voices.
“who? “Is it Orun?”
“okay! I’m Oren. Are you going to find out now? “I feel sorry for you.”
Aslan also calmly pretended to be Oran.
The awakened people were easily fooled by him.
“What are you doing at this hour? “My shift is tomorrow afternoon.”
“I have something to say…”
“What to say?”
“That’s it.”
Aslan trailed off and came to the side of the awakened people. Then his face was revealed in the torch hanging on the wall.
The awakened people shouted in surprise.
“what? “You’re not Oren, are you?”
“Who are you?”
Poop!
Instead of answering, Aslan pulled out a dagger and stabbed the awakened men in the neck.
The awakened people, who thought they were colleagues and allowed them to be by their side, collapsed without even being able to scream.
Aslan said, putting the dagger back in his waist.
“sorry. “For killing me like this…”
He said that, but he didn’t look sorry at all.
He took out a torch and waved it loudly. Then, someone waved a torch at the bottom of the steel fortress.
It was the Red Storm that followed.
“good!”
Aslan smiled and touched the device that lowered the basket.
Sigh!
The pulley turned and the basket went down.
After a while, someone pulled the rope from below.
Aslan turned the pulley in the opposite direction and pulled up the basket.
After a while, the huge basket came up again and those on board got out.
Urtian was at the forefront.
Urtian said to Aslan.
“Good work. “What’s the situation inside?”
“First of all, Duduyan started the preliminary work.”
“good!”
Urtian smiled, showing his white teeth.
His smile, reflected in the torchlight, was eerie.
Meanwhile, the basket went down again. And they came up carrying the awakened members of the Red Storm.
In this way, the basket went down and up dozens of times, transporting the Red Storm to the steel fortress.
Before just an hour had passed, the entire Red Storm had arrived at the Iron Fortress. Even then, the Iron Fortress did not notice the Red Storm’s invasion.
Urtian gave orders to the Red Storm.
“Kill all the awakened ones.”
