Sand Mage of the Burnt Desert - Chapter 217

Sand Mage Of The Burnt Desert Chapter 217

Episode 217:

With a horrifying sound, the sand in the area rotated around Zeon.

“what?”

“Wow!”

The awakened people, who had barely escaped the full power of the sand mixer, let out a cry of relief.

Sand in a radius of several tens of meters was rotating like a blender.

There were orcs in it.

This is no ordinary orc.

He was an orc in a berserker state who had received the tattoo buff.

Crazy orcs who feel neither pain nor fear.

But at this moment, a look of extreme fear appeared on the orcs’ faces.

The sand covered the orcs up to their knees.

The orcs tried to break through the sand by force. However, it was unclear whether an invisible force was acting on the sand.

Meanwhile, the sand was eating away at their ankles and shins.

The pain of being torn apart alive was terrible.

“Coooooooo!”

“Chwiit! Save me…”

“Keu!”

The Orcs, who had endured even the slightest pain with a smile, were screaming at the top of their lungs.

The bodies of the orcs were buried deeper and deeper in the sand.

Now I am submerged in sand up to my waist.

At the same time, the screams of the orcs were amplified.

“Kwiik!”

“Ouch!”

The sound of a pig being slaughtered literally echoed throughout the desert.

The expressions of the awakened people became distorted.

This is because the orcs’ pain felt like their own.

The orcs’ screams were that desperate.

Goosebumps appeared all over my body and my hair became red.

It was the first time in my life that I felt this way.

They were awakened people who were always with death.

I was prepared to die at any time due to the threat of the demon beasts and humans. However, the sand mixer deployed by Xeon had such terrible power that it made even the awakened people fearful.

At some point, the orcs stopped screaming.

This is because the chest area has already been torn apart.

There was no way a creature with missing lungs and organs could scream.

The terrifyingly rotating sand even swallowed up the remaining upper bodies of the orcs.

Gaaaa!

In the breathtaking silence, only the sand was spinning furiously.

At the center was Xeon.

The awakened ones could not say anything.

It was because he felt that if he opened his mouth, Zeon’s skills would be unleashed on him.

It was a hellish time for the awakened.

It was when the sand finally stopped spinning that they let out the breath they had been holding.

“Puh-ha!”

“Kuhuh!”

The faces of the awakened people were red as they held their breath.

They looked at Zeon with expressions of fear. However, Zeon was actually walking on the sand with a calm expression.

Jang Yong-beom was where he headed.

“Are you okay?”

“I can’t give up. “A wound like this is nothing.”

“You lost an arm?”

“When I return to Neo Seoul, I’ll at least put on a prosthetic hand. “It may not be as good as the mechanized awakeners, but there will still be usable mechanical prosthetics.”

“There was a way.”

“Hehe! As long as you survive, Neo Seoul will fix it for you. In particular, precious troops like me are treated with special care. So don’t look at me like that.”

“All right. Well then, let’s take a short break and then get moving. “Until then, get in shape.”

It was time for Zeon to turn around.

“for a moment! The captain needs to get plenty of rest. “It’s impossible to move right away.”

Aiden’s voice caught Zeon.

“I want to do that too, but I never know when the orcs will come after me.”

“Mmm!”

Aiden let out a sigh.

When they learn that the orcs who attacked them have been wiped out, other orcs will definitely come after them. However, I felt uncomfortable listening to Zeon’s words like this.

So said.

“Wouldn’t it be okay to stop it with your abilities? “If you use that skill from earlier, you can clean up no matter how many orcs come, right?”

“Because it’s not a skill worth overusing so carelessly. “A lot of mana has been consumed, so I need time to recover.”

“hmm! “I guess so.”

Aiden agreed.

The more powerful a skill is, the more mana it consumes.

Once mana is consumed, it is not easily recovered.

It was clear that even more mana would have been consumed for the powerful skill that Zeon had just shown.

‘Well, that way it’s balanced. The sandman profession is also fraudulent, so who can stop the author if he uses his skills without any restrictions?’

Aiden thought it was fortunate.

Zeon smiled slightly.

Because I felt like I knew what Aiden was thinking.

In fact, I could use the sand mixer several times a day, but there was no need to tell me that.

Zeon turned to Eloi.

Two elves were kneeling in front of Eloi.

Lapuna and her attendant.

Both were completely ruined.

This is because Elroy used severe violence during the suppression process.

‘There were emotions.’

I can’t say anything about that.

Eloi’s hatred for pure-blooded elves was deeply rooted in her bones.

As Zeon approached, Lapuna and his subordinates looked fearful.

It had to be that way.

This is because I saw how Xeon dealt with the Orcs right in front of my eyes.

It was clear that if they unleashed that cursed skill on themselves, they would be torn apart without a trace.

I wasn’t afraid of dying. But I didn’t want to die like that, leaving no trace and being nothing.

‘Is this the god of death? Where did such a person come from?…’

It seemed as if her thoughts were paralyzed by extreme fear, so Lapuna had to grit her teeth to keep from losing her senses.

Her subordinate shouted in panic.

“You damned being. Why did God give you, a human being, powers you weren’t allowed to have? “I feel resentful.”

It was not normal for his pupils to turn back and forth.

He had gone crazy from extreme fear.

“ha! “I don’t think he’ll be of much use.”

puck!

Eloi stabbed the elf in the back of the head with his spear.

The elf couldn’t even scream and lost consciousness.

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

“Why did you do that?”

“What do you mean?”

“Why did you lure the orcs to us?”

“I’ve never done that. “The orcs were tracking us and we had no choice but to run away.”

“So you’re saying you didn’t lure them in on purpose?”

“Yes.”

Lapuna made an excuse with all her might.

The existence of the village had to be hidden somehow.

I didn’t know what Zeon would do if he found out that I had lured the orcs to save the village.

Zeon looked into Lapuna’s eyes.

Lapuna gritted her teeth to hide her agitation. But I couldn’t fool Zeon’s eyes.

“There is a village of elves near here. “Where are you?”

“Our village is hundreds of kilometers away from here.”

“You’re not used to lying yet. “The desert elf rangers’ area of activity is probably only a few tens of kilometers around the village.”

“How do you do that?”

Zeon chuckled instead of answering.

No one would know the lifestyle and activities of the desert elves better than themselves. And elves were originally a people who were not good at lying.

It was not because it was pure, but because it was clumsy.

Fortunately, the elves who settled in Neo Seoul were influenced by humans and became quite cunning. However, such cleverness did not exist among the elves who survived independently in the desert.

Suddenly Lapuna fell to the floor.

“for a moment! Don’t touch our village. “Everything was decided independently by me.”

“You?”

“Yes. “I lured the orcs to protect our village.”

“You want me to believe that?”

“It’s real. “You can swear.”

“The oaths of ordinary elves are not very trustworthy.”

“So…”

Lapuna’s face turned pale.

I had to come up with an excuse somehow, but my mind was empty and I couldn’t think of anything.

It was Brielle who stepped forward at that time.

“Xeon!”

“why?”

“You’re not going to attack the elf village, are you?”

“well!”

“Can I just look at it this once? Because of me…”

“Because of you?”

“In some ways, these people are also losers. “The minds of those who have fallen behind like this have no choice but to become narrow.”

‘…Like a high elf village.’

Brielle swallowed her words.

The village where she was born was also stagnant.

Although it has been over a hundred years since it came to Earth, it has maintained its original appearance. The elves’ way of thinking didn’t change much either.

When they were in the village, they thought it was the right way to maintain their purity, but after staying in the human world for a long time, they clearly realized how stagnant they had become.

Humans were adapting to this hellish world and making terrible progress.

On the other hand, the elves were trapped in a prison of time.

I didn’t know that maybe I was being punished for ruining the world.

Because they were elves, their vision was greatly narrowed and they used innocent humans as sacrifices to survive.

Even if Zeon does not punish them, they will be eliminated and disappear in the flow of time.

Unless there is a dramatic change.

Now all that remains is Xeon’s decision.

No matter what decision Zeon made, Brielle planned to humbly accept it.

Zeon finally opened his mouth.

“I’m not a murder-crazy murderer, and I can’t annihilate a village.”

“then?”

“Still, I guess I should give you a warning.”

Zeon’s eyes turned to Lapuna.

“I will tell this clearly to the village elders.”

“what?”

“I’ll just let it go this time, but if you try this trick again, I will destroy the entire village.”

“that?”

“You know it when you see it, right? “If it were me, I could destroy the village you built over a hundred years in an instant.”

I didn’t know where the desert elves’ village was, but it wasn’t that difficult to find out.

They must have dug a large hole in the sand.

Like most desert elf villages.

If you were in the sand, you couldn’t escape Zeon’s senses. Because the sand was on Zeon’s side.

Lafuna quickly answered.

“I’ll tell you that.”

“Then let’s go. “Before I change my mind…”

At Zeon’s gesture, Lapuna threw her subordinate around her shoulders and ran away.

Some awakened people became angry at that sight.

“What if we just let those elves go?”

“Several people died because of them.”

“I can’t believe you decided this so arbitrarily.”

At that moment, a cold smile appeared on Zeon’s lips.

This is the problem for awakened people.

Even if you save them, the gratitude doesn’t last long and the fear is quickly forgotten.

I understand their anger, but I couldn’t let them cross the line.

“Then let’s part ways at this point.”

“what?”

“If you can’t accept my decision, let’s break up at this point and go separately.”

“That…”

“Even if the elves hadn’t lured us in, we would have had no choice but to encounter the orcs. However, the timing was just brought forward a little. “If you still can’t accept my decision, let’s break up right now.”

The awakened people could not say anything at Zeon’s cold words.

At that time, Jang Yong-beom stood up and said.

“Ignore everything those idiots say. “Because I’m a coward when it comes to being an awakened person.”

“Then, Mr. Jang Yong-beom, do you accept my decision?”

“of course. “If I want to survive in this desert, I have to stick by your side, whether I like it or not.”

“Then will you follow my words from now on?”

“Old story! Captain.”

Yongbeom Jang replied slyly.
