Sand Mage Of The Burnt Desert Chapter 71

Episode 71:

The man with the tattoo on his face made a bewildered expression.

“Are you laughing? “You think this situation is funny.”

“Can’t you even smile?”

“You bastard with a lump of liver sticking out of your stomach. Well, I guess he crawled all the way here without any fear.”

The man stood up, putting away the dagger he had been cutting his nails with.

The man who stood up was huge.

Zeon looked at the man with interest.

This is because the man’s body was unique.

What caught his eye was the man’s skin.

It was as clumsy as a crocodile.

Even at first glance, the texture itself was different from human skin.

said the man.

“Why does my skin look weird? “This is what will happen to you if you live for a long time in a shady place without a single ray of sunlight.”

“It’s not something you were born with, it just happened naturally.”

“that’s right!”

“It’s definitely interesting. “This is the first time something like this has happened.”

The man’s expression hardened at Zeon’s naturally virtuous answer.

Because his reaction was different from most people he knew.

Anyone who sees his skin and body gets scared and avoids their gaze, but Zeon’s eyes were shining as if he had just seen a fun toy.

This was my first time seeing a reaction like this.

“You’re a funny guy.”

“Then will you please return the magic generator?”

“I’m sorry, but that won’t work. “That guy is a famous sword that is quite difficult to find.”

“A centaur?”

“okay! Even though it is small, the amount of power generation is negligible. “If we supply only high-quality magic stones, we can stably supply a huge amount of electricity.”

“Why do we need electricity?”

“Why would you do that? I need it because I have someone to use it. “There is no electricity in this basement.”

“Are there many people living underground?”

“You’ll buy a lot more than you think.”

“okay.”

Zeon shook his head.

“So give up. “I will use it for much more value than you.”

“I’m sorry, but that won’t work. “Because I tend to be a bit possessive.”

“I’ve been talking bullshit all this time. I feel bad. Caw! “Tsk!”

The man spat sticky phlegm on Zeon’s shoes.

As Zeon looked at the spit on his shoes, the man laughed.

“Why do you feel dirty?”

“It’s not good.”

“It shouldn’t be that dirty. “This is just the beginning.”

A young smile grew on the man’s lips.

Zeon stared at the man’s face.

Bright yellow eyes and dull skin.

“It really looks like a crocodile.”

“That’s why my name is Crocker.”

“It suits you well.”

Zeon nodded.

At that moment, Crocker kicked the floor.

His fist pierced the darkness and struck Zeon.

bang!

Zeon’s body shook as he drank heavily. But Croker’s fist never touched Xeon’s face.

This is because he blocked Croker’s fist with his right hand, which was wearing a gauntlet.

Even though his attack was blocked, Croker’s smile did not disappear.

“You’re pretty cool.”

“That’s not easy either. “I think it will be at least C-level.”

“joy!”

Instead of answering, Crocker attacked.

Paba babang!

The air exploded terrifyingly from his continuous attacks.

As Zeon guessed, Croker was a C-class martial arts awakener.

He drove Xeon like a storm. However, Zeon parried all of his attacks without much effort.

Crocker was clearly strong.

He adapted perfectly to the underground waterway environment.

The eyes could see through the darkness as brightly as day, and the skin was very tough and strong.

It was strong enough to withstand a fair amount of attack without using any skills. But this time the opponent was not good.

Among those that Zeon faced, there was no one weaker than Croker.

Croker himself thought he was attacking very flashily, but Zeon’s eyes saw all of his movements clearly.

No matter how much he attacked, Zeon was not hit, and a look of confusion appeared on Croker’s face.

“This guy! How long are you going to just avoid it?”

It was then.

As if to deny Croker’s words, Zeon threw a powerful punch.

Croker was unable to avoid the attack that came at lightning speed.

Croker had no choice but to cross his arms to block Zeon’s attack.

bang!

“Wow!”

Crocker let out a groan along with an explosion of alcohol.

Crocker’s face turned pale as he was pushed backwards.

Both of his arms were broken and shaking.

Croker couldn’t believe this.

His bones and muscles were much stronger than those of other awakened people. However, it was unable to withstand Zeon’s blow and broke.

Only then did Croker realize.

The fact that Zeon is a greater awakened person than he thought.

‘At least C grade in martial arts.’

Equal to or slightly stronger than yourself.

You might be able to win if you use your hidden skills. However, the opponent also did not show proper skills.

This means there is a chance that he will lose.

His judgment was very quick.

If you want to fight an opponent like this, you need to be more prepared.

“Shit!”

His choice was retreat.

Although the magical power generator was important, it was not as important as his life.

Crocker and his men quickly retreated to the exit in the back.

Fortunately, Zeon was no longer chasing them.

Croker said before disappearing.

“A lot of people will be in trouble because of you. “If the people you could save with the magic generator die, it’s all your fault.”

“It’s not because of me, it’s because of your incompetence. “I hope you don’t shift your responsibility to me.”

“Ugh!”

Zeon simply denied Crocker’s words.

You should be blaming yourself for not being able to obtain the magical power generator at a fair price, but it is not right to shift the blame to Zeon.

Xeon’s heart was not soft enough to fall for this type of gaslighting.

“We will definitely meet again.”

With those words, Crocker and his subordinates completely disappeared.

Zeon stood still and looked at the place they had disappeared to.

A deeper, dirtier sewage channel continued into the darkness.

Zeon had no intention of going in there.

I rolled around in the desert and various dungeons for a whopping eight years.

Now I wanted to live in a slightly cleaner environment.

There were many items looted by Croker and his men in the underground space, but they did not pay any attention.

He stored only the magic generator and alarm device in subspace and came out.

“Whoa!”

Xeon came out of the sewer and took a deep breath.

As expected, the outside air was nice.

Zeon looked around for a moment and then returned to his house.

Having to walk up to the 18th floor was a problem, but it wasn’t that difficult for Xeon.

Fortunately, it seemed like no one broke in while he was away.

Xeon immediately installed a horsepower generator at home.

Xeon, who was looking at the pyramid-shaped magic power generator for a moment, took out a magic stone from subspace.

When a fist-sized magic stone was inserted into the magic power generator, an intense light burst out for a moment.

The magic generator began to extract electricity from the magic stone.

After a while, the intense light slowly faded away. This was evidence that electricity was being supplied stably.

The magic gem that Zeon put into the magic generator was obtained by killing a C-class magical beast.

It was several times more pure than the canned magicite from the mine and contained a lot of energy.

Of course, there was no choice but to ensure a stable supply of electricity.

“Good!”

A smile appeared on Zeon’s lips.

Now that we had found a stable source of electricity, it was time to move on to the next task.

Zeon took out a black gem from subspace.

It was a gem obtained after conquering a certain dungeon three years ago.

Although it looked ordinary on the outside, this black gem was actually the core of the dungeon.

The dungeon where I obtained this black gem was very unique.

The dungeon itself was a powerful barrier.

It detects and prevents intrusions from outside in advance.

In addition, the inside and outside were completely isolated, so almost no external shock was transmitted inside.

In some ways, the inside of the dungeon was like the safest space in the world.

Zeon stayed for a whopping three months to destroy this dungeon.

Like other dungeons, it was possible to break through with force.

But if that happens, the dungeon will be completely ruined.

This was not what Zeon wanted.

He wanted to have the dungeon’s barrier intact.

So, we investigated the weakness of the barrier and found a way to completely destroy it.

I thought about it for three months and was eventually able to obtain this black jewel, the core of the dungeon.

Then I realized.

The identity of the black jewel.

‘Watching eyes.’

That was the official name of the Black Jewel.

It was the core of the barrier used in the royal family of Kurayan.

It was mainly used only in key areas such as the royal residence or the king’s residence.

It was so difficult to make that only a few of them existed.

One of them did not disappear but came to Earth.

However, the unfortunate thing is that the Watching Eye safely came to Earth and was turned into a dungeon, but the items inside were lost and ceased to exist.

Xeon placed his watching eyes on the magic generator. Then, the power generated from the horsepower generator was supplied to the watching eyes.

As the power came on, a red line stretched out from the watching eye.

The red line stretched out like a rose stem and filled Zeon’s house.

Zeon stood in the middle of the house and watched.

It was the process of the barrier recognizing space.

The red line that filled the house soon disappeared.

It’s invisible, but it definitely exists. And he completely protects this house, which he recognizes as his space.

The only person who can enter this house is Xeon.

Now, as long as magic stones are supplied to the magic power generator, the watching eye will defend this place perfectly.

Xeon then installed an alarm device on the door.

A barrier of watching eyes was added to the door, which was reinforced with vampire wood and sand anglerfish leather.

A decent awakened person wouldn’t even be able to make a scratch on the door, let alone break it down. An alarm system has been added, so even if Xeon is outside the house, it will be able to immediately recognize if there is an intruder.

A satisfied smile appeared on Zeon’s lips.

“Now the house is finished.”

＊＊＊

Black Lion reported to Yoo Se-hee.

“He came home.”

“It was early morning when you entered the sewer, so did you stay there for three or four hours?”

“yes!”

“What do you think, brother? “Do you think he found the magic generator?”

“First of all, according to the reporter, he was empty-handed.”

“Empty-handed?”

“yes! “I guess I couldn’t find the magic generator.”

“I thought it might be because I went in with such momentum. “It seems like it was too much.”

Yoo Se-hee caressed her chin with her fingertips.

The news that the magic generator was stolen by crocodiles reached her.

It was a case of robbing a goblin market.

Of course she couldn’t help but care.

If the opponents were not crocodiles, they would have already sent troops to retrieve the looted items.

The problem is that crocodiles are lurking in underground waterways.

The basement of the slums was much more complicated than above ground.

No one knew exactly what facilities were underground in the land they were standing on or how complex the waterways were.

Even Yoo Se-hee, who prided herself on being an expert in the slums, knew very little about the underground.

No awakened person attempted to enter the smelly basement.

That was why we were unable to find out Zeon’s whereabouts after going underground.

Even though Old Man Clexi had assigned Zeon to watch over him, he could not bear to enter the sewer due to the foul smell and air.

In the end, he had no choice but to wait for Xeon to come out from the sewer entrance.

Xeon came back a few hours later and was empty-handed, so he decided that he could not retrieve the magic generator.

The Black Lion spoke cautiously.

“The behavior of crocodiles is unusual these days. The number of trips to the ground has increased noticeably. “It is clear that he is under someone’s protection.”

“I guess so.”

There is no effect that occurs without a cause.

Yoo Se-hee gave an order.

“First, strengthen vigilance against the goblin market. “It’s obvious where they’re aiming.”

“All right.”

There was no food in the slums as desirable as the goblin market.

This is because all kinds of valuable items are traded through the goblin market.

Until now, many people have targeted the goblin market. However, there is a good reason why no power has been able to take control of the goblin market.

“I’ll clearly show you what happens if you mess with the goblin market.”
