Sand Mage of the Burnt Desert - Chapter 212
Sand Mage Of The Burnt Desert Chapter 212
Episode 212
“Today is going to be a hot day as always.”
Elroy grumbled as he got out of the shelter.
It was still early in the morning, but the sun was shining fiercely.
It felt like my skin was burning just from being exposed to the sun.
Because he was an awakened person, it was barely hot. If it were an ordinary person, he would have dried up and died in less than an hour.
“It’s true! “It’s hotter today.”
“wow!”
Brielle and Levin, who followed, also furrowed their brows under the particularly hot sunlight.
Finally, Zeon came out of the shelter and looked up at the sky.
My brows naturally furrowed under the scorching sun.
He said, putting on the hat attached to his robe.
“Everyone, be careful not to overheat.”
“don’t worry. I have this. lol!”
Brielle laughed as she patted her robe made of desert anglerfish skin. Levin and Elroy looked at this with envious expressions.
When Zeon held out his hand, the shelter they stayed in last night collapsed and turned into a flat surface.
“let’s go!”
“yes!”
Levin immediately turned into a ghost and followed Zeon.
‘You have to become stronger.’
After following Zeon, I know for sure.
In the desert, nothing about being good or just was important.
What really mattered was strength.
Only those who were strong enough to survive the harsh environment and the attacks of giant monsters were qualified to speak of justice.
Just like Xeon.
I still don’t know what the definition of Xeon is. But whatever his definition, there was little in this desert that could refute it.
If so, Zeon’s will was justice.
Levin also wanted to be like Xeon.
A person who can assert his or her own justice through strength.
That’s why I voluntarily turned into a ghost even though no one told me to.
Ghostification was a skill that consumed a huge amount of mana.
Mana is consumed endlessly while maintained.
With Levin’s current ability, he couldn’t sustain it for less than an hour.
After an hour, the ghost fades away and you become exhausted.
It’s so relaxing that it’s hard to even lift a finger.
Slurp!
The ghosting was released and Levin fell.
“Ugh!”
“Ugh! “This lump of luggage.”
Eloy clicked his tongue and loaded Levin onto the Bactrian camel. And this time she walked on the sand.
Brielle looked at Levin, who was being carried on the back of a Bactrian camel like a piece of luggage, with curious eyes.
Levin looked into her eyes and felt a sense of crisis.
“why?”
“Do you want to drink this?”
Brielle took out a clear bottle from her sleeve and waved it in front of Levin.
“what is that?”
His voice suddenly trembled.
Brielle answered calmly.
“Something that’s good for your body.”
“Is this really good?”
“Believe me. “It was made as a test using materials obtained from the steel fortress.”
“test? “Then am I the first to eat it?”
“huh! don’t worry. “Do you trust me?”
“Of course I believe it.”
“Then let’s drink it.”
Brielle laughed and poured the liquid from the bottle into Levin’s mouth.
Levin, exhausted, was unable to resist and ended up drinking all the liquid, leaving not a single drop behind.
The moment I drank all the liquid, a fiery pain rose from my lower abdomen.
“Keuuk!”
Levin’s eyes widened from the sudden pain.
Brielle said, looking into Levin’s face.
“It will hurt a little at first.”
‘crazy! ‘This is a little bit?’
To exaggerate a bit, the pain felt like my internal organs were being torn apart.
The pain was so extreme that I couldn’t even scream.
Eloy frowned and asked at the sight of Levin trembling on the Bactrian camel.
“What on earth did you feed me? Kid! “You’re not going to try to assassinate Levin with poison just because you don’t like him, right?”
“Who is assassinating you?”
“Then what did you feed them?”
“Mana booster!”
“what?”
“Are your ears clogged? “It’s a potion that amplifies mana.”
“Fuck! There’s no way something like that would be possible. “Where is the thing that amplifies mana?”
“This is why harp is not allowed. “You keep trying to think only in terms of human values.”
“So, pure or high elves are different?”
“Of course it’s different.”
Brielle looked straight at Elroy.
Although she was captured by humans and has been making drugs and drugs, Brielle’s mind is full of high elf secrets.
The greatest mission of the High Elves is to carry on tradition.
Preserving the numerous visions and technologies that have been cultivated since Kurayan and passing them on to future generations.
The old high elf tells the young high elf everything he remembers and makes him remember it.
Brielle also went through that process.
Even though he was unable to completely complete the transmission process and was captured by humans. Still, he remembered much of the high elf’s vision.
Among them, there was a secret to amplifying mana.
The problem is that the material only comes from Kurayan.
The ecology of Earth and Kurayan was very different, so the materials were different.
For that reason, Brielle searched for and tested Earth materials that had similar effects to Kurayan’s materials.
Then, I found items similar to the ingredients for Kurayan’s mana boosting potion in the warehouse of the steel fortress.
He tasted all the ingredients one by one and tested them on his own body to find the exact effect and dosage. What made it so difficult was the mana boosting potion that Levin was taking right now.
Although it was said to Levin that it was made as a test, it was actually made by pouring everything Briel had into it.
‘If mana is really amplified, making a mana recovery potion is no problem.’
Mana boosting potions cannot be released carelessly on the market. Because it is too dangerous. However, mana recovery potions are different.
If done well, this is an item that can dominate Neo Seoul’s potion market.
Although many people have researched it, Neo Seoul has not yet been able to create a proper mana potion.
If Brielle puts a mana recovery potion on the market, the scope of awakened people’s activities and the number of times they conquer dungeons or hunt demonic beasts will increase dramatically.
If that happens, Zeon’s influence in Neo Seoul will greatly increase. Zeon lives in the slums because he doesn’t want to get involved in trouble, but now that he has revealed his abilities, many people will want him.
It took strength to be free from those people.
Not the power as a sand wizard, but the power in Neo Seoul.
Brielle thought that the Mana Potion would give her that strength.
First of all, the mana boosting potion was the priority.
The wonderful test subject was trembling in pain.
“Keuuk!”
At that moment, Levin let out a scream and raised his head. His eyes were full of blood.
Elroy looked at Levin with worried eyes.
“Isn’t this going to go wrong?”
“Absolutely…”
Brielle answered firmly.
It was a potion given not to anyone else but to Levin, the person closest to him.
If there were any side effects, I would never have taken it.
The pain you are experiencing now is just a process towards success.
At that time, Levin’s expression suddenly changed.
Suddenly, color appeared on his face, and a smile appeared on his lips.
Just a moment ago, my body felt like it was going to explode. However, as the time of extreme pain passed, my body felt relaxed and energized as if it had never happened before.
That wasn’t the only change.
‘The total amount of mana has increased. About thirty percent.’
Thirty percent may not seem like a big deal, but it is an increase of a third of the total.
It is common sense that the total amount of mana does not increase until the level increases. It was impossible in the awakened world for the total amount of mana to increase without increasing the level.
But the impossible has now become a reality.
The first beneficiary was Levin.
In order to increase the total amount of mana, you had to go through hellish pain, but you could handle that much.
Levin opened his eyes and said with a wide smile.
“This is so good. “Mana has increased by about 30%.”
“right? “I knew that would happen.”
“Can I have one more of this?”
“I’m sorry, but it only works once. “It will be difficult to see such dramatic effects if you take it again.”
“okay? “It’s a shame.”
Levin quenched his appetite.
He also had some guesses, so he wasn’t too disappointed.
If this groundbreaking potion increases the total amount of mana every time one takes it, the awakened person will become stronger without end.
Brielle provided additional explanation.
“I know I’m lucky. “It would take quite a bit of time and effort to get the same ingredients.”
“What do you mean?”
“I don’t know when a proper mana boosting potion will be created again. “It would probably take a long time to make the same thing.”
“I see.”
“So enjoy this moment. “You idiot!”
“huh!”
Even after being called an idiot, Levin did not look offended at all. On the contrary, my body was itching to use my abilities as soon as possible.
Levin jumped off the Bactrian camel and turned into a ghost.
Even if I turned into a ghost, it wasn’t that much of a burden.
This was thanks to the significantly increased mana.
“Great!”
Levin loved it, throwing uppercuts in the air.
Brielle also smiled when she saw that.
‘it’s okay. Since the mana boosting potion was successful, regular mana potions can be made sufficiently.’
The confidence that success gave her made her happy.
At that time, Elroy asked Brielle carefully.
“Do you have one more bottle left?”
“Will you be there?”
“Shit! “I should have eaten.”
“Who gives it? “You idiot!”
“He’s a really unfriendly kid. Sheesh!”
The person I felt sorry for was Eloy, so I couldn’t say anything harsher.
She looked at Levin, who had turned into a ghost, with an envious expression.
“Tsk!”
＊＊＊
“This damn sandstorm. “Can you please stop now?”
“Whoa! Stop complaining. “Even if I didn’t, I would die from hardship.”
There were people traveling through the desert in buggies.
Shake! Shake!
Four buggies were moving through the sand precariously as if they would stop at any moment.
Sitting in the lead buggy was a middle-aged man with a claymore on his waist, a woman with impressive blue hair, a cool-headed man, and a man as big as a mountain.
The owner of Claymore was Yongbeom Jang.
This was a party led by Jang Yong-beom.
The members, each named Giselle Aiden Mountain, were powerful awakeners who were recognized even in Neo Seoul.
A party made up of awakened people was also riding in the buggy following the buggy that Jang Yong-beom’s party rode in.
They were all parties that received the same request from Neo Seoul.
Recently, an incident occurred where several Pathfinder teams dispatched to the west of Neo Seoul did not return.
The Pathfinder team in charge of the pioneering mission was made up of awakened people who could overcome any crisis without blinking an eye.
It was a serious problem that so many Pathfinder teams failed to return.
For that reason, Neo Seoul commissioned a mission from several parties to find out the truth.
Jang Yong-beom initially tried to refuse the request.
Because it smelled dangerous.
But this time I couldn’t refuse.
This is because it was semi-compulsorily allocated by Neo Seoul.
“Everyone be careful. “Because this request is unusual.”
“So, would you just request to hunt Deioden? Well, it ended up being a failure.”
Aiden smiled and answered.
Giselle said, looking out the window.
“Could it be that something as dangerous as him exists in this desert? “The captain worries too much.”
“I don’t know. “The desert is so vast that there may be another being as dangerous and scary as him.”
“no way! There can be no other person like that…”
It was when Giselle denied Jang Yong-beom’s words.
bang!
Suddenly, a loud noise erupted from the buggy that was following behind.
“Fuck! what?”
“check it!”
Jang Yong-beom’s party stopped the buggy and looked back.
Then I saw a large window stuck in the buggy at the rear.
Someone had thrown a spear and attacked the buggy.
“Shit!John is dead.”
The awakened people jumped out of the attacked buggy and shouted.
It was then.
Pig-like creatures suddenly appeared from the sand dunes.
It was an Orc scouting party.
Jang Yongbeom muttered while glaring at the orcs.
“Did they wipe out the Pathfinder team?”
