Sand Mage Of The Burnt Desert Chapter 199

Episode 199

Gewen could not hide his embarrassed expression.

That’s because I didn’t know that Zeon would say something like this at this time.

“What does that mean?”

I was so embarrassed that my voice trembled.

“You are in charge here, right? So, you have to kill him.”

“I am old and weak.”

Gewen made a servile expression.

When he first brought Zeon and his group into the steel fortress, he was confident.

At that time, there were awakened people who supported me reliably. But now there was no one around him.

All of the awakened people who had been acting like limbs had fallen to the ground after being hit by the Red Storm.

The drugged awakeners were no match for the Red Storm.

The drug used to effectively control the awakened people came back as poison.

Gewen, who lost all his awakened people, was just an old man in the back room.

Gewen urgently looked for someone who would take his side.

The person who caught his eye was this elder Holtran.

“Holtran!”

“Geowen!”

“You must convince him. We must kill all of these scavengers. Once the location of our fortress is revealed, many people will target us. “Then we will never survive.”

“I guess it’s you.”

“what?”

“Your power alone will not survive. “What does a change of rulers mean to other people?”

“How can you say that? “Isn’t that what this elder from the Iron Fortress would say?”

“You can throw away the position of elder as much as you want. “That’s amazing.”

Holtran looked disillusioned.

It was Gewen who became impatient.

“Hey friend!”

“Who is whose friend? “After keeping them in check and neglecting them like that until now.”

“Now is not the time to discuss personal feelings. “We must think first of the people who live in our iron fortress.”

Gerwen tried to persuade Holtran somehow. But it wasn’t enough to change Holtran’s mind.

Meanwhile, Deborah listened carefully to the conversation between the two people.

Her eyes were sparkling.

Because it seemed like there was a way to overcome the current situation.

‘There are two factions inside the steel fortress. A closed force led by the one who is now pleading, and a force opposing him. The closed force has been destroyed by our attack, and the force opposing it is powerless…’

Her head spun at an alarming speed.

The leaders of the Red Storm, Urtian and Cormack, just watched Deborah.

Deborah usually never steps forward, but she knows that once she does, there will be results one way or another.

Deborah looked at Xeon.

‘The problem is with this guy…’

No matter how smart you are and how good you come up with a good opinion, if Zeon rejects it, it’s all nonsense.

But it was worth the risk.

‘This man is in a bystander position right now. ‘I don’t want to interfere with the steel fortress anymore.’

After gathering her thoughts, Deborah cautiously opened her mouth.

“First of all, I will apologize for what happened today.”

“huh?”

“Regardless of the reason, what happened today is absolutely our fault. “I have no intention of making excuses.”

“The introduction is long.”

“That’s because it’s that important. We, the Red Storm, need this place. And people here need guardians.”

“haha! Are you saying you are going to kill all the awakened people who guard this place and replace them?”

Zeon made a bewildered expression without realizing it. But Deborah continued speaking regardless.

“I’m sorry about that. But it seems to us that the dead are not very welcome within the Iron Fortress. I would like to ask Mr. Holtran. “If we were to join the Iron Fortress, would you accept it?”

A puzzled expression appeared on Holtran’s face when he was suddenly singled out.

His mind became confused.

‘You are a clever woman.’

Zeon admired Deborah.

By placing the children in the front, he prevented Zeon from interfering and naturally took control of the conversation, drawing the flow towards him.

In addition, he has the intelligence to instantly understand the power struggle within the steel fortress.

Naturally excluding Zeon, a stranger, from the conversation, he tries to reorganize the situation with Holtran, who has the power to make decisions.

She was not an ordinary woman.

“and! “It’s not an ordinary fox.”

It was so shocking that even Brielle looked at Deborah with her mouth wide open.

Eloi whispered to Zeon.

“Are you going to just wait and see if she gets her way?”

“Otherwise?”

“A lot of people died. Of course, you have to pay for the blood.”

“It’s not the blood we shed.”

“is it?”

“After all, we are strangers. They only sleep for one night… The decision is theirs to make and it’s their life. They are also responsible for their decisions.”

“You’re colder than you look.”

Elroy looked at Zeon with a new expression.

Zeon had his arms crossed.

This clearly expressed that he had no intention of interfering with the conversation between Deborah and Holtran.

It was then.

Urtian hurriedly approached Zeon.

“Sand wizard!”

“This is Xeon.”

“what?”

“My name is Xeon.”

“Oh, I see! Xeon! “My name is Urtian.”

“I don’t think we are meant to have a friendly conversation.”

“yes! In my heart, I want to grind up your bones and drink them. “But Deborah came forward.”

“You seem to be obsessed with a woman.”

“She’s worth it. Without that woman, I would be nothing. She is the true master of the Red Storm. Look. “When she comes forward, no one wants to fight.”

It was just as Urtian said.

Cormack, who lost to Duduyan Levin, who also lost to Eloy, was still able to fight. Nevertheless, the reason we stand aside and watch is because Deborah came forward.

It was a sight that showed how great the trust he had in her was.

“She is my wife and the mistress of the Red Storm. We all respect and follow her decision. “If she hadn’t come forward, you would have died by my hands.”

“Isn’t it the opposite?”

“Do you think I’m going to die from injuries this bad?”

Urtian brushed off the dust from his wound and pretended like nothing was wrong.

In fact, the serious wound had recovered to some extent.

It was thanks to the tattoos engraved on his entire body.

Brielle, who saw that, said without realizing it.

“Guardian Lord? “You got a tattoo from a high elf.”

“You recognize the guardian? “You are a high elf.”

Urtian immediately noticed Brielle’s identity.

As Brielle said, it was a high elf who tattooed him with the title Guardian Lord. Only a few people, including Urtian, knew that there were high elves who knew how to carve guardian spells.

Those few people were all high elves.

“Why are high elves with humans? “Have you fallen behind, too?”

“It’s similar.”

“It’s a pretty rare case. “High elves never let their compatriots fall behind.”

“In life, all sorts of things happen.”

“like! “It looks like it’s a bit tainted by the human world, doesn’t it?”

Urtian looked interested.

High elves had a completely different way of thinking from ordinary elves.

Because of this, they were ostracized even by ordinary elves, and only a very small number of them existed.

Races that are evaluated as being alien even to ordinary elves.

Instead, they demonstrate unrivaled abilities in one field.

The high elf who tattooed Urtian with the title Guardian Lord was a representative example.

He was unusually obsessed with tattoos and studied them.

Originally, elves considered purity to be their greatest virtue.

It was taken for granted that the body inherited from one’s parents would remain pure until death.

For high elves, tattoos were an absolute taboo. However, he broke the taboo and studied tattoos.

He used tattoos to create ways to amplify power or perform magic.

Urtian’s tattoo was an early masterpiece created by his persistence.

At the time, Urtian was left out of the elf group and his rationality was paralyzed due to his anger towards the world.

Urtian needed power to protect himself, and the High Elves needed test subjects to prove their research results.

Thanks to the coincidence of interests between the two elves, Urtian was able to engrave a guardian spell.

“Young high elf. Why are you hanging out with your fellow countrymen? Have you forgotten the virtues of a high elf?”

“Is there any reason to tell that to the fallen elf?”

“Why do you think I am corrupt? Hanging out with humans? Or by having a human woman as his wife? Or by looting?”

“….”

“One day, I was brought to an unfamiliar world and abandoned by my compatriots. Unlike other elves, I am too foreign to go with them. He was left in the desert and, due to his lack of experience, was captured by a group of humans. I have suffered all kinds of terrible things while wearing a mana restraint. “I even had my body stolen by the same man.”

Elves are basically a race equipped with beauty as a passive feature.

There were beings in the world who had sexual desires for the same men, and those people did not leave the elf men alone.

“Then I realized. In order to survive in this hellish place, you must abandon all existing values and morals. “I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that.”

That day, the pure elf was reborn as a demon.

He killed the scavengers who captured him and took control of the group. That’s how the Red Storm was born.

The Red Storm had a humble beginning.

There were not that many members and the military force was negligible. However, as time passed, his power grew significantly and his family members also increased.

Urtian also met Deborah and had three children with her.

Even though a family was created, the survival method of Urtian and the Red Storm did not change.

In this world covered with sand, there was no land where they could settle. They had no choice but to make a living through looting.

Stealing and killing to survive was never a bad thing.

Even after being miserably defeated by Zeon, that thought did not change.

Brielle was not scared even when she saw Urtian glaring at her with scary eyes.

“If you continue to live like that, everything will be taken away by someone stronger than you.”

“Hehe! It won’t be taken away easily. “Because this side is quite strong.”

“joy! “I guess that’s why I was mistreated by Zeon.”

Urtian’s expression distorted unsightly at Brielle’s taunt.

“That’s because his abilities are fraudulent, not because my abilities are lacking. A sand wizard? “I have never heard of anyone with such abilities even in Qurayan.”

“Did sand wizards really not exist in Kurayan?”

“As far as I know, there wasn’t one. “If I had, I wouldn’t have been so embarrassed.”

Urtian answered honestly.

From the moment Brielle came forward, Zeon no longer paid attention to him.

Maybe it was because they thought they were no longer a threat.

It was then.

“Wow!”

Suddenly, Gewen screamed and fell down.

There was a dagger stuck in his chest.

“Off! Me me…. “What about you, Holt?”

Gerwen looked at Holtran with an expression of disbelief.

It was Holtran who stabbed him in the chest with a dagger.

Holtran answered, looking down at Gerwen.

“If it weren’t for you, all problems would be solved.”

“Hol…Tran.”

“The steel fortress will be different now. “The Red Storm and I will make it happen.”

“To join hands with foreign powers. You will regret it…”

Gewen couldn’t finish his sentence and lost his breath.

Holtran looked at Gewen’s body with a bitter gaze.

Deborah said to him.

“good job.”

“Promises must be kept.”

“I swear on my children’s lives. Now this is our home. So, we, the Red Storm, will protect and protect the people within the fortress.”

“I believe it!”

In the end, Holtran chose to merge with the Red Storm.

Most of the awakened people who followed Gewen were killed by the Red Storm, and there were many casualties among the general public. But there were more survivors.

To protect them, the power of the Red Storm was needed.

The situation ended in an unexpected way.

Deborah approached Zeon and said.

“As you can see, the Iron Fortress and the Red Storm have decided to join forces.”

“Incredible. “I can’t believe you reached an agreement with Holtran.”

“Do you by any chance object?”

“I am a foreigner. There is no reason to oppose it. So, didn’t you reach an agreement directly with Holtran?”

“If it wasn’t for Zeon, we wouldn’t have been able to put it together this easily. So thank you.”

Because the powerful being called Zeon was burdensome, both Deborah and Holtran gave in little by little, and thanks to this, they were able to reach an agreement easily.

It was an alliance to survive the ecosystem-destroying species called Xeon.
