Sand Mage Of The Burnt Desert Chapter 196
Episode 196
Holtran stared at Zeon.
I had no idea how surprised I was when he suddenly burst open the door and came in during the meeting. But what was even more surprising was the fact that Zeon was ambushed by those sent by Gewen.
He certainly didn’t expect that Gewen would try to kill Zeon so openly. Even if an assassination attempt was made, I thought it would only be done after leaving the steel fortress.
That’s how Gewen dealt with people who happened to stop by the steel fortress. So Holtran planned to warn Zeon before he left.
“after! Gerwen’s tyranny has crossed the line. “I will apologize on your behalf.”
“I don’t want to hear an apology from Holtran. “We are the ones leaving in the morning anyway.”
“then?”
“I want Holtran to know this fact and take action.”
“If I had the power, I would have done it right away. But as you know, all power is completely controlled by Gewen. “He is holding on tightly to both the awakened person and the water, so there is nothing I can do.”
“Then, if Gewen is gone, will you be able to completely control the Iron Fortress?”
“Are you saying you’ll help me?”
“Whatever the reason, it’s true that he tried to kill us.”
“Mmm!”
Holtran let out a sigh.
He didn’t answer hastily and went into the store.
Seeing his conflicted appearance, Zeon thought he had become angry.
Opportunities do not come easily.
It is the responsibility of the prepared to seize the brief opportunity that passes by like lightning.
It seemed that Holtran was not ready. I had no taste in persuading such a person with a hundred words.
Zeon stood up.
“It looks like they have no intention of normalizing the steel fortress.”
“Isn’t it something that only takes a few minutes to think about before making a decision? Give me more time. And honestly, how can we trust you?”
“yes?”
“Couldn’t it be Gewen’s intention to set a trap and draw you in? “We also need time for verification.”
Eloy, Levin, and others looked dumbfounded at Holtran’s words.
“I was wondering why a fortress built in such a good location was ruined, and it turns out there was a reason.”
“Iknow, right.”
“I always say indecisive people are the bigger problem.”
Even Brielle joined in and said something.
Holtran’s face turned red at that.
It was the moment when his henchmen got angry and were about to wake up.
thud!
Suddenly, a subtle noise was heard outside. But Zeon was the only one who heard that sound.
Zeon frowned and listened outside.
“Big!”
At that moment, someone’s frustrated groan was heard.
It was a sound so faint that I would never have heard it if I hadn’t concentrated my senses.
Elroy gave a puzzled look.
“what’s the matter?”
“It looks like there’s a problem outside.”
“problem?”
Zeon opened the door and went out.
At that time, Zeon saw Inyoung quietly leaving a house not far away.
Inyoung, who came out silently like a cat, held a sword dripping with blood in her hand.
Zeon and Inyoung’s eyes met.
“….”
Silence passed between the two for a moment.
A look of embarrassment appeared on Inyoung’s face as she had not expected Zeon’s appearance. However, it soon rushed towards Xeon at a frightening speed.
Wedge!
The person who approached like a flash sword and wielded a sword was none other than Duduyan.
She was moving around inside the steel fortress, assassinating those who seemed dangerous.
The goal is to eliminate as many dangerous people as possible before the Red Storm moves in earnest.
Three awakened people have already lost their lives at her hands.
If you kill Zeon, you will be the fourth person to die.
At this level, I could boast to Urtian.
visor!
But unfortunately, her assassination attempt ended in vain.
Elroy stepped in and deflected her attack.
Elroy looked at Duduyan’s face and frowned.
The skin is pitch black and the ears are pointed.
There was only one race with these characteristics.
“Dark elf?”
“joy!”
Instead of answering, Duduyan swung his sword and attacked Eloi’s neck.
Shoooo!
“Die!”
“What the fuck…”
Elroy was furious and swung the crazy nine-tailed fox.
Kakakang!
The sword and spear clashed dozens of times in an instant.
Eloi asked after stepping back for a moment.
“What are you? “Dark elf.”
“So you also have elf blood.”
“Why are you ambushing people? Are you also Gewen’s subordinate?”
“What? Are you the owner of this fortress? “He too is just a target for my assassination.”
“So you’re saying it came from outside?”
“You talk a lot. Half elf!”
Duduyan, who had caught his breath during the conversation, attacked Eloy again. Elroy also wielded the crazy nine-tailed fox and fought against her.
bang! Quaaaang!
At that moment, loud noises erupted from all over the fortress.
Holtran looked towards the place where the explosion was heard with a bewildered expression.
“This?”
“It looks like there are guests from outside besides us.”
Zeon’s eyes became cold.
Flames rose everywhere and people could be heard screaming.
The people who were sound asleep in the middle of the night were unprepared to resist the sudden surprise attack.
There are awakened people for times like this, and many awakened people were addicted to drugs at Gewen’s house.
When Gewen and the Awakened came out late, the plunder by the Red Storm had reached its peak.
“what? How did outsiders come in? “What about the guys on guard?”
Gewen’s body trembled.
He couldn’t believe the tragedy unfolding before his eyes.
His kingdom was falling apart before his eyes.
He shouted, kicking the drugged Awakening’s butt.
“What are you doing? “Why don’t you stop them?”
“yes? yes!”
The drugged awakened man staggered and approached the Red Storm.
Not even running, but walking.
The awakened member of the Red Storm Group looked at this with a puzzled expression.
“What are you?”
“I am the guardian of the iron fortress.”
“You like the guardian. “A drugged bastard.”
The awakened member of the Red Storm swung his weapon as if there was nothing more to hear.
The drugged Awakening of the Steel Fortress could not block his attack.
Suddenly!
He died without even being able to scream.
The situation of others was the same.
The awakened people who went to stop the Red Storm fell without even using much strength.
Gewen, who saw that, screamed.
“Oh, no!”
The awakened people were unable to use their strength and were collapsing due to the drugs taken to control them.
The Red Storm was unstoppable.
They roamed around the steel fortress as if they were at home, killing the awakened.
“Kaaak!”
“100 million!”
The mournful screams of the steel fortress awakeners rang out widely.
“what? Why are you so weak?”
“More than half of them are weaklings.”
“You crazy bastards! “I completely lost my senses because I was in a safe place.”
It was so outrageous that the awakened members of the Red Storm shook their heads.
The awakened members of the Red Storm had to protect their families from the demonic beasts and sand of the desert. The only ones to trust are the awakened ones.
Knowing that fact, the awakened members of the Red Storm were sharpening their senses so that they could fight at any time.
Of course, it was impossible to fool around while under the influence of drugs.
“This fortress is too much for these bastards.”
“Let’s kill them all and take it.”
The awakened members of the Red Storm went even crazier.
“How did this happen?”
Holtran’s eyes widened.
The sight of the Iron Fortress, thought to be an invincible fortress, being ravaged by the Red Storm seemed like a lie.
It was a sight that lacked a sense of reality.
“Elder Lee. Please give orders.”
“Holtran!”
The awakened people who followed Holtran urged his decision. But Holtran stood there blankly, not knowing what to do.
In that case, even the awakened people had to move quickly, but they too were confused and did not know what to do.
Zeon sighed.
“It’s a total mess.”
“I say this, but it’s a place where I have nothing to say even if it fails.”
“How can everything rot to this extent?”
It was so outrageous that even Levin and Brielle shook their heads.
At that time, Jacob and Lucy approached Zeon.
“Please help us.”
“Please do me a favor.”
Children who were only ten years old knelt before Zeon and begged.
They knew of Levin’s skill in catching sandworms so easily. Even Levin did something to give Zeon a few moves.
In that case, it was clear that Zeon would be much stronger, so he was pleading.
Lucy said with tears in her eyes.
“Not all adults are bad. There are good adults too. “Please save them.”
Zeon was not greatly shaken by the little girl’s pleas. But Brielle was different.
She said to Zeon.
“Are you going to keep watching me like this? “I know you don’t like hasty intervention, but I can’t let a child die like this.”
“I’m not much different from you.”
“That’s not important. “I’m talking about human duties.”
Zeon chuckled at Brielle’s words.
This is because it was somehow funny to hear Brielle, a pureblood and high elf, talking about human duties.
It was then.
“what? “There are awakened people here too.”
“Kill!”
The Red Storm discovered Zeon and attacked him relentlessly.
The martial arts awakened wielded an axe, and the magic awakened threw a wind cutter.
It was an attack without any hesitation.
As soon as he judged it to be an enemy, he immediately unleashed his killing skills.
It was a sight that clearly showed how skilled they were at this kind of work.
However, their attacks did not reach Zeon’s body.
Zeon swung his right arm and fired a fire missile.
The fire missile intercepted the wind cutter and the martial arts awakener’s axe.
Quaaaang!
“Ugh!”
“Oops!”
The awakened people who attacked Zeon were screaming and rolling around.
Any decent awakened person would have been seriously hurt by Zeon’s counterattack. But they had skills and courage that were beyond average.
As soon as my back hit the floor, I immediately got up and fought back.
“You damn bastard!”
“I’ll take your arm.”
They attacked Xeon with more powerful skills.
Quack!
Their attack was devastating to Xeon.
The Red Storm thought that Zeon would have been seriously injured in this attack. But what they expected didn’t happen.
Slurp!
Zeon’s appearance disappeared like a mirage. Because of this, the awakened people’s attacks ended up hitting the wall and floor behind them in vain.
The awakened people widened their eyes.
“Could it be an illusion?”
The Zeon they attacked was an illusion, not a reality.
The Xeon moved at too high a speed, leaving an afterimage.
“Then where is he?”
“no way?”
In an instant, the back of my neck felt cold.
This is because they felt that popularity was behind their backs.
It was Zeon.
“Fuck!”
“Shit!”
The awakened people quickly turned around and tried to fight back. However, Zeon moved much faster than them.
Sigh!
His fists exploded into the jaws and temples of the awakened ones.
Like dolls with their strings cut, the awakened people flew away and fell down. My mind was blown by Zeon’s attack.
The Red Storm Awakenings who were far away saw the scene.
“What? Will and Bohem got hit.”
“How dare you…”
They ran towards Zeon.
Zeon muttered, brushing up his tangled hair.
“I really didn’t want to get involved.”
