Sand Mage Of The Burnt Desert Chapter 77
Episode 77
Boom Boom!
Zeon opened his eyes in the morning to the sound of a knock on the door.
Zeon put on his robe and walked to the door.
“Who are you?”
“It’s me, bro!”
I thought Goran’s gang had come, but unexpectedly I heard Levin’s voice.
When Zeon opened the door, he saw Levin.
Levin said, looking at Zeon.
“Are you still safe?”
“What’s going on?”
“I came here after hearing rumors that there was a fight with Goran’s subordinate.”
“To help?”
“I just wanted to let you know.”
“what?”
“Can I go inside?”
When Zeon stepped aside, Levin naturally came inside.
“Of course, this place is the best. “It’s like a hideout.”
“What about revenge?”
“I’m trying to free the kids and search for them, but it’s not easy. “I hid for the last time because they killed my family.”
“okay?”
“I guess the bastard smelled it.”
Levin’s voice calmed down.
From that day on, he wandered the streets looking for the killer.
His friends came forward to help him, and his eyes and ears were spread out on the streets of the slums. Still, the killer did not appear.
As if it were a lie, he stopped killing and disappeared.
“But I will definitely find it. “Until the dog stops pooping, we won’t be able to stop killing and live quietly like that.”
“I guess so. By the way, what did you come to see in the morning to tell me?”
“I mean it.”
“Why Goran?”
“You don’t know anything.”
“So what?”
“I mean Goran’s ability.”
“Do you know anything?”
“I don’t know the details either. But I heard something.”
Only then did Zeon show an expression of interest.
“What?”
“They say there were a lot of explosions when Goran became the ruler of Sinchon.”
“explosion?”
“I don’t know, but I heard that several buildings almost collapsed because of it.”
It has already been twenty years since Goran took control of Sinchon.
At the time, it is not clear how he took control of Sinchon. Because most of the people at the scene were dead.
However, the legend was still imprinted with fear in people’s minds.
“I don’t know exactly what the ability is, but it’s clear that it’s related to explosions. So be careful.”
“thanks. “It will help a lot.”
“I’m sorry I couldn’t help you.”
Levin did not want to take on Goran and Chuck.
Although he had awakened special abilities, he was still just a kid.
His level was low and he couldn’t use his abilities 100%.
Moreover, he had an obligation to avenge his family.
Nothing could be done until revenge was taken.
Zeon chuckled.
“That’s enough.”
“I sincerely hope you survive.”
“I hope you too will get your revenge.”
“yes! Let’s do our best. “I’ll just leave.”
Levin secretly left Zeon’s house without anyone knowing.
Xeon, who was left alone, muttered.
“It’s an ability related to explosions…”
When it comes to awakened people, people often think that there are only four lineages: magic, martial arts, witchcraft, and those combined with machines. However, sometimes, as in the case of yourself and Levin, a different lineage is awakened.
Maybe Goran is one of those people.
“I’m curious.”
Anyway, it was something I would find out when I encountered it in person.
I didn’t want to make a fuss about preparing already.
Zeon ate a light meal and then boiled water.
What he took out from subspace was a plant leaf.
It was not just a plant leaf, but the leaf of a plant-type demon beast.
This thing took the form of a cactus, and it lured and ate other demonic beasts passing nearby.
This thing had unusual leaves all over its body, and when you boiled the leaves and ate them, the taste was amazing.
At first, Zeon approached the guy without realizing it and almost got eaten. After going through a lot of hardships, he finally defeated the guy and saved his life.
After studying the dead demon beast, I found out that its leaves are very effective when brewed as tea. So, I picked all of its leaves and put them in the subspace.
Zeon poured boiling water into a cup and steeped the witch’s leaves. Then the strong scent of tea filled the room.
Zeon took the cup and went to the window.
I took a sip of tea and looked down at the street.
Tea made from the leaves of the witch tree was effective in stabilizing the mind and body and increasing mana.
Whenever Zeon had time, he made tea with the leaves of the demon beast and drank it.
It was just a shame that there wasn’t much left now.
At that time, a man standing in the middle of the intersection came into Zeon’s field of vision.
It was a bald man with a gorilla-like body.
The bald man was looking straight at Zeon and smiling.
Zeon instinctively realized that a bald man had come to see him.
The bald man aimed his fist at Zeon’s direction.
The man’s fist was unusually made of metal.
‘machine?’
It was then.
Pow!
A loud bang erupted from the man’s fist aimed at Zeon’s house. Afterwards, the entire building shook as if it had been bombed.
Kurrrr!
Zeon looked at the man with a frown.
“Shock Wave.”
What the man threw with his mechanical prosthetic arm was a shock wave.
I don’t know if the shock wave was the man’s natural skill or the power of the mechanical prosthetic arm, but it was clear that it was aimed at Zeon.
What the man didn’t know, however, was that there was a barrier around Zeon’s house.
The barrier created by the watching eye perfectly protected Zeon’s house from external shocks.
Pow!
The man sent out a shock wave once again. But his attack was once again blocked by watching eyes.
It will probably be the same no matter how many more attacks you make.
A man’s shock wave cannot pierce the watching eyes. The man must have noticed that too.
Despite this, he didn’t care and fired shock waves one after another.
Quarrr!
The entire building shook as if there had been an earthquake.
Zeon made a bewildered expression.
He realized what the man was aiming for.
“The bald guy uses his brain quite a bit.”
Zeon’s house was protected by watching eyes, but the other houses were not.
The neighbors above and below Zeon were in an uproar.
The walls collapsed and the pillars cracked.
The people inside screamed in surprise at the sudden attack.
If a few shock waves were fired like this, the entire building where Zeon’s house was located could have collapsed.
If the building itself collapsed, even Zeon’s house, protected by watching eyes, could not survive.
So, it was clear that the bald man also changed his strategy as soon as he noticed that there was a barrier around Zeon’s house.
“Tsk! “You must be bothering me…”
Zeon opened the window.
His house is eighteen floors high. It was more than fifty meters above the floor.
It was a height that would make an average person dizzy just by looking down. But Zeon launched himself without any hesitation.
His body fell at an alarming speed.
Just before it reached the floor, Xeon’s speed slowed down rapidly.
This is because sand particles so fine that they cannot be seen support Xeon’s body.
But the bald man couldn’t know that.
This is because Zeon disappeared before he even landed on the ground.
Zeon arrived safely on the ground and immediately pursued the bald man.
Tracking down the bald man wasn’t that difficult.
This is because he left his traces everywhere, as if he were bragging.
Zeon was soon able to spot the bald man.
The bald man was standing in front of a building that resembled the Colosseum.
He nodded as if asking Zeon to follow him and entered the building.
Xeon looked at the Colosseum for a moment.
Although it was his first time here, Zeon knew the identity of the Colosseum well.
This was the arena run by Goran, the ruler of Shincho.
“As expected, he was Goran’s subordinate.”
I thought that would be the case from the beginning.
Zeon entered the arena without any hesitation.
“Wow!”
“Kill!”
As soon as he entered the arena, Zeon was greeted by tremendous heat and shouts.
Numerous people were shouting with fire in their eyes, and two people were fighting for their lives in the middle of the arena.
At first glance, they were ordinary people with no abilities.
One was holding a scythe and the other was holding an ax and they were swinging at each other.
Their whole bodies were already stained with blood and their faces were distorted in pain.
Yet they were attacking each other like crazy.
I felt the desperate feeling that if I lost, it would be the end.
Zeon knew very well what had driven them to the edge of this cliff.
Zeon’s gaze was directed to the highest point of the arena.
There, a bald man was looking at him.
Zeon walked straight up to where the bald man was.
“You’re here.”
As soon as he arrived at the place where the bald man was, a low-pitched voice greeted him.
Zeon looked at the owner of the voice.
It was a large black man wearing a baseball cap and leather jumper.
A bald man who had lured Zeon was seen behind him.
The black man said to Zeon.
“We finally meet. “The name is…”
“Xeon!”
“okay! Xeon. “This is our first meeting, right?”
“I guess so.”
“Do you think you know me?”
“Isn’t it Goran?”
“You know exactly.”
A satisfied smile appeared on the black man’s lips.
He was none other than Goran, the ruler of Sinchon.
Goran introduced the bald man standing behind him.
“This is my friend Dolkan.”
“There is no need for a separate introduction. “Thanks to you, the house almost collapsed.”
“It didn’t collapse?”
“Fortunately.”
“It looks pretty sturdy.”
“Do you feel regretful?”
“Actually, yes. “Originally, I was told to tear it down.”
Goran smiled, showing his white teeth.
Dolkan said as if making an excuse.
“There was a fence around the house. “I hit him with a few shock waves, but he was fine.”
“okay? My friend is quite capable. “I like talented friends.”
Goran’s hot gaze could be felt through the sunglasses.
Zeon chuckled.
“I’m happy to be recognized.”
“Please take a seat for now.”
As Goran nodded, one of his subordinates brought out a chair.
Zeon did not refuse and sat down on the chair.
Goran pointed his finger at the two people fighting in the arena.
“Can you see it?”
“yes!”
“They are the ones driven to the edge of the cliff. “Can you feel the fear and desperation they give off?”
“Yes.”
“I like the scent of fear they give off. “It makes people excited.”
“It’s in bad taste.”
“Bad taste? Things like that happen, too. But once you get used to it, you won’t be able to get away from it.”
“well. “I’m not interested in this kind of thing.”
“It would be best not to bet. “Because human values change easily.”
Goran laughed, tapping his head with his fingers.
Zeon looked at Goran in silence. Then Goran shrugged his shoulders and said.
“The atmosphere is tense. “Let’s eat first.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the people waiting brought out food.
In no time, decent food was laid out on the table.
Goran said, holding up a fork and knife.
“It’s a steak. A real steak made from real beef, not cultured meat. “It will be worth eating.”
Still, when Zeon didn’t lift his fork, Goran looked at the wall of Neo Seoul visible through the window.
“People in Neo Seoul eat things like this. If you follow me, you too will be able to eat things like this every day.”
