Sand Mage Of The Burnt Desert Chapter 88
Episode 88
“Huam!”
Zeon, who was standing up and stretching, noticed something and frowned.
Where his eyes turned, there was Brielle.
Brielle’s eyes were red and bloodshot, as if she had stayed up all night.
She was staring at the silver cauldron with bloodshot eyes.
An unidentifiable liquid was bubbling in the silver cauldron.
“Just a little more…”
Brielle muttered, clenching her small fists.
I could feel a deep madness in her appearance.
Zeon shook his head.
“It looks like you stayed up all night again.”
Brielle was nocturnal.
Even though I was blurry during the day, I woke up with clarity at night.
Her research began from then on.
While trapped underground, the suppressed desire to explore was unleashed in a frenzied manner.
It was as if the energy gathered during the day exploded at night.
Even now, she was looking at the liquid she had made overnight with crazy eyes.
“Almost done. Just a little more…”
Pow!
At that moment, the liquid in the pot exploded.
“Aaaah!”
Brielle was completely covered in liquid.
The liquid splashed not only on Brielle but throughout the house.
Zeon clicked his tongue as he looked around the house in disarray.
“Tsk!”
“Where did we go wrong? The combination was definitely perfect…”
Brielle muttered with a devastated expression.
Zeon told her.
“Clean it up.”
“Ugh! Why did it fail? “Where did I go wrong?”
“phew!”
It seemed like Zeon’s voice could not be heard in Brielle’s ears.
She tried to analyze the reasons for the failure by dipping the liquid on her body and eating it.
“Ugh! “What on earth is the problem?”
Xeon left the house, leaving behind the glowing Brielle.
This is because I know that if Brielle has a seizure, she will be out of her mind for at least three or four hours.
Then, when he comes to his senses, he organizes the house on his own.
Until then, it would be better to spend time outside.
Zeon walked down the street with his hands in his pockets.
“huh?”
Lee Chae appeared in Zeon’s eyes.
This is because I saw a shabby street stall that I had not seen until yesterday.
It was a street stall selling skewers, and the smell it gave off was very tempting.
There were other customers at the stall besides Zeon.
However, most of the customers were men.
Zeon quickly realized the reason.
The owner of the stall was a woman.
She’s also quite a pretty girl.
Although it was not flashy, it had a simple beauty.
That alone was enough to attract the attention of men in the slums.
“It’s a face I’ve never seen before?”
“Where do you live?”
The men put each skewer in their mouths and asked the woman a question.
Their questions were all related to the woman’s personal affairs.
Even though the world has become like this, men’s desire for pretty women has remained the same.
The men’s flirtation was understandably burdensome, but the woman responded calmly without even blinking an eye.
“Of course I live in Sinchon. However, since this is your first time in business, it will seem unfamiliar.”
“is it?”
“sure.”
“When will the business end? Can’t we finish a little early? “I know a good place. Let’s go together.”
“Ho Ho! Just saying thank you. But if you want to make a living, you have to be in business for a long time.”
“How much do you make per day? “I’ll give you everything.”
“oh! really?”
“then!”
“Ho Ho! Just saying thank you. “How can you be so trustworthy?”
“lol!”
Women knew how to deal with men.
The men’s expressions softened at her praise and candy spread.
Zeon burrowed between them.
“How much does one skewer cost?”
“oh! You’re a handsome brother, right? “One sole for ten skewers.”
“Il Sol?”
“This is cultured meat made by Neo Seoul. “The taste itself is different from other monster meat.”
“is it so?”
When Zeon showed curiosity, the woman put a skewer in his hand.
“Try it sometime. “Once you taste it, you will never be able to eat any other meat again.”
Zeon nodded and put a skewer in his mouth.
As the woman said, the skewers were very delicious.
If it tasted this good, it was worth bragging about.
It was hard to find someone with this level of skill in the slums.
Zeon took another bite of the skewer.
The second chew was still delicious.
the woman asked with a smile.
“It’s delicious, right?”
“It’s delicious.”
“Right? I knew that would happen. “Handsome oppa!”
“I think he’s much older than me.”
“Ho Ho! If you’re handsome, you’re my brother. “You’re really handsome.”
“Thank you.”
“Does your brother live here too?”
“yes!”
“where?”
“An ant cave.”
“oh! I live in a rough place. “Aren’t you scared?”
“not really!”
Zeon calmly responded to the woman’s fuss.
“But the clothes my brother is wearing look unusual. Are they an item?”
“It’s no big deal.”
“Why is it no big deal? “It’s so shiny.”
The woman naturally stretched out her hand and caressed Zeon’s robe.
At that moment, a soft light emanated from her hand. But no one noticed that.
Her behavior was so natural that anyone could mistake her for a lover.
A look of jealousy immediately appeared on the faces of the male customers who came to the stall first.
“what? “Why are you so nice to that bastard?”
“Are you treating me differently based on my face?”
Despite the men’s fits, the woman spoke without changing her complexion.
“Everyone be quiet. “Who treated you differently?”
“uh?”
“is not it?”
Suddenly the men’s expressions became blank.
He accepted the woman’s words as if he were possessed.
It was a very strange sight.
Anyone who saw it couldn’t help but think it was strange.
Still, none of the men around the stall realized that fact.
The woman smiled and looked at Zeon.
“Now we can talk quietly. “Right?”
“You use an interesting skill. “It’s a skill that manipulates the mind.”
“oh? He’s got a sharp eye. “I like it more and more.”
The woman clapped her hands and laughed.
He looked like he was so happy that he couldn’t stand it anymore.
On the other hand, Zeon still had an expression on his face.
Because he had already noticed that the woman was not ordinary.
The reason there are no female street vendors on this street is because it is such a rough world.
The slums were lawless areas where it was not unusual for someone to be kidnapped or raped even if they were just a little anti-social.
The value of women in the modern era was just that.
I had to be careful about even going outside unless I was awake or had a strong bag with me.
But why does a pretty girl run a street vendor? And suddenly one day?
This was absolutely not a normal situation.
Zeon asked.
“Did you come after me by any chance?”
“I wasn’t aiming for it, just wanted to meet naturally?”
“Isn’t that what it is?”
“The two are definitely different. “There is a difference in tone.”
“It’s really fun to talk.”
“fun? “Then I’m glad.”
“Why did you make this approach so difficult?”
“I like it that way.”
The woman answered like that without any hesitation.
However, Zeon was not pure enough to immediately believe the words of a woman he met for the first time.
“Whose instructions did you receive here?”
“I came because I really like you.”
The woman grinned.
Then she looked more beautiful.
It was as if there was a halo behind her head.
“Tsk!”
Zeon clicked his tongue and put down the skewer he was holding.
“why? “Aren’t the skewers tasty?”
“Because you keep using brainwashing skills on me like that, I lost my appetite.”
At Zeon’s words, the smile on the woman’s face disappeared. However, he soon put on a calm expression as if nothing had happened.
“When did I use the brainwashing skill?”
“where is it? “Did you send it from Dongdaemun?”
“….”
“I guess that’s right.”
“You are truly unlucky. Why are you so quick to notice a handsome subject? “Why is my mental barrier so strong?”
Now the woman could no longer deny it.
The woman’s name is Kim Jae-kyung.
He was none other than John’s henchman.
Her specialty was mental skills such as brainwashing.
If she breaks down the opponent’s guard with her simple appearance and then makes contact and uses her skills, everyone will be attracted to her.
After that, if you continue to develop your skills, you will finally become completely subordinate to her.
She has brought countless people to her side in this way.
Especially when it comes to men, it’s all over the place.
Of course, Jaekyung Kim thought that would happen this time too.
Because brainwashing a brat like Zeon was not her job.
However, her brainwashing skills did not work on Zeon.
It was clear that my mental barrier was stronger than I thought.
“My brother was a greater person than I thought.”
“Is this an order from John?”
“sir!”
“yes?”
“Please add the word ‘nim.’ “Because he is not someone like you who would dare to call him carelessly.”
When Yohan’s name was mentioned, Kim Jae-kyung’s eyes changed.
There was even madness in her eyes.
Zeon grumbled inwardly.
‘Tsk! A while ago, Brielle had that look in her eyes, but this time, another woman is radiating madness.’
Although Zeon thought that he was unlucky from the morning, his expression did not change at all.
“is it so. Mr. Yo‧Han‧. Did he send it?”
“that’s right! “He said try to persuade them with good words.”
“Is brainwashing a good thing?”
“then! “How happy it is to be brainwashed by a beautiful woman like me.”
“I know quite a few girls prettier than you.”
“what?”
“By my standards, she’s not that pretty.”
“profit!”
“So, please understand the topic.”
“Fuck! I tried to say something nice. Submit!”
At the same time as she shouted loudly, an intense light radiated from her entire body.
Subjugation, a C-level skill.
Although it consumes a huge amount of mana, the effect is certain.
Jaekyung Kim caressed Zeon’s whole body a couple of times and injected his own mana.
Preliminary work has already been done.
Therefore, he was confident that his skills would definitely work.
It was then.
“joy!”
Zeon’s snort was heard.
At the same time, a huge shock came to her brain, as if it had been hit with a hammer.
bang!
“Ahh!”
Jaekyung Kim screamed and fell down.
Red blood was flowing from her nose and ears.
Jeon said while looking at Jaekyung Kim.
“Tsk! You also have to use mental skills while observing the opponent. “Don’t you know that if you use it carelessly, you will actually harm yourself?”
“What have you done?”
“As you can see, I didn’t do anything.”
“So…”
Kim Jae-kyung made an expression of disbelief.
So far, there has not been a single opponent whom her skills have not worked on.
No, there was just one person.
It was John, whom she thought was God.
Johan’s mental barrier was too high and strong for her skills to work.
‘Could it be that this man’s spirit is as strong as John’s?’
