Sand Mage of the Burnt Desert - Chapter 89
Sand Mage Of The Burnt Desert Chapter 89
Episode 89
An urgent light appeared on Kim Jae-kyung’s face.
Her ability was a mental attack.
Except for the C-level skills of subjugation and brainwashing, there were no other means of attack.
Still, I didn’t think it was enough.
Until now, there was no one she could not subjugate and there was no one she could not brainwash.
At least in Dongdaemun.
For that reason, even after entering Sinchon, he was confident that he would be able to subjugate Zeon at once.
But for some reason, her skills did not work on Zeon.
“profit! “Submit!”
She demonstrated her skills once again.
Jeon just stared at Kim Jae-kyung.
Sure enough, a huge recoil hit her.
“Ahh!”
Kim Jae-kyung held her head and screamed in immense pain.
This was the first time he encountered an opponent whose mental attacks were impervious to his attacks.
Because of that, she actually fell into a state of panic.
There was a light of fear in Kim Jae-kyung’s eyes.
This is because I felt that Zeon’s eyes staring down at me were scary.
‘We have to get out of here quickly.’
Kim Jae-kyung gave orders to the customers at the stall.
“Everyone is attacking the author.”
In an instant, the men’s expressions completely changed and they attacked Zeon.
“I’m dead!”
“Hahaha!”
They were not awakened.
Nevertheless, it attacked Zeon without any fear.
This is because he had already been brainwashed.
The moment he approaches Kim Jae-kyung and flirts with her, he has already been brainwashed.
“Tsk!”
Zeon clicked his tongue and shook his fist.
Burbubbuk!
There was no need to use skills.
All three men were knocked out with three punches.
When Zeon looked back after defeating them, Jaekyung Kim had already disappeared.
They escaped after using the men as scapegoats.
“We can’t just let it go.”
Whatever the reason, it was someone who tried to brainwash him.
There were very few awakened people who could intervene and manipulate the minds of others.
It’s a shame that Zeon’s mental power was strong, but if he was even a little weak, he would have been brainwashed and followed her orders.
In some ways, what is scarier than the martial arts B-class awakened is the C-class awakened who can manipulate the mind.
I couldn’t let someone like that go easily.
He had to pay the price for messing with him.
Jeon flew in the direction where Kim Jae-kyung disappeared.
Her escape route was obvious.
‘I guess I’ll go to Dongdaemun.’
Before the great destruction, areas such as Jongno and Euljiro existed between Sinchon and Dongdaemun. But such a place name no longer exists.
It disappeared with the fall of Seoul.
Nowadays, there is a shabby slum.
What makes it different from Sinchon or Dongdaemun is that it is more underdeveloped and complicated because there is no clear ruling power.
Jaekyung Kim took advantage of that.
“joy! No matter how fast you are, you will inevitably get lost once you get here.”
On the other hand, she knew the terrain of this place as if she were reading her palm.
Kim Jae-kyung ran at high speed through the maze-like slums.
A tall spire was visible in the distance.
It was a church that was a symbol of Dongdaemun.
“done.”
It was that moment when a light of joy appeared on her face.
chin!
Someone in front tripped her foot.
Kim Jae-kyung rolled around on the floor at the same speed he was running.
Kim Jae-kyung, who rolled three or four times and hit the wall, stood up shaking his head.
“What kind of bastard…”
Her eyes widened as she looked up to find the culprit.
This is because the man who stepped on her at the critical moment was none other than Zeon.
“Uh, when?”
“I need to develop my physical abilities as well. “When will we get to Dongdaemun if it’s so slow?”
“profit!”
Kim Jae-kyung stood up as if convulsing.
She quickly looked around and was about to show off her skills to the people around her.
“Tsk! “You can’t do that.”
Zeon moved first.
puck!
His blow exploded into Kim Jae-kyung’s abdomen.
Kim Jae-kyung couldn’t even scream and flew backwards.
Kim Jae-kyung was unable to wake up for a while due to the shock, as if a hole had been drilled in her stomach.
‘Fuck!’
She looked at Zeon with tears and snot pouring out.
Zeon did not regard her as a woman.
Before she was a woman, she was an awakened person.
Zeon knew best that the Awakened should not be dealt with roughly.
Jaekyung Kim raised his hand to block Zeon’s approach.
“Now wait! “Let’s talk.”
“A conversation…”
“Why is the man so petty? “We can resolve it through conversation.”
“Talk to someone who tried to brainwash you? “I don’t think that’s such a wise choice.”
“That was my mistake. I apologize like this. I just did it because I wanted you so much. I’ll be honest and say that this is what happened. Let’s join hands with Dongdaemun. “It will be good for you too.”
“What do you mean it’s good?”
“I will recognize you as the ruler of Sinchon.”
“I do not need it. “Why should I do such a bothersome thing…”
“Then what about me? I will assist you. “I’ll do whatever you want.”
In the end, Kim Jae-kyung took the last resort.
There is no fool who would not know what it means to say that a woman will do whatever she wants.
Kim Jae-kyung appears simple at first glance, but upon closer inspection, she possesses a strange beauty.
Any man could not help but be captivated by her looks.
Jaekyung Kim thought that Jeon would also like her proposal. But Zeon’s answer sent her into an abyss.
“Yes, you are a fanatic of John. “I don’t need fanatics.”
“iced coffee!”
Having a fanatic with you will only make you tired.
Zeon did not want to experience such mental fatigue. It would have been cleaner to just stop breathing now.
Grumble!
Kim Jae-kyung’s eyes widened as he saw flames flickering from the fiery gauntlet.
“no!”
Zeon swung his fist mercilessly.
Intense flames instantly engulfed Kim Jae-kyung.
Kim Jae-kyung could not react and closed his eyes tightly.
‘It’s the end.’
Quang!
At that moment, a miracle occurred.
Someone stepped in and stopped the flames before it hit.
He was wearing a red hat, red investigative uniform, and a mask that covered his nose. Kim Jae-kyung
, a being with a bizarre aura that makes it impossible to tell whether it is a man or a woman,
shouted.
“Joshua?”
The person called Joshua just hugged Kim Jae-kyung and flew towards Dongdaemun.
His speed was literally like a flash of lightning.
In an instant, it disappeared from Zeon’s sight.
Inquisitor Joshua.
Another sword wielded by John.
Another nickname for him was Joshua the Swift.
The speed alone was so fast that no one in Neo Seoul could keep up with it.
“Tsk!”
Zeon clicked his tongue.
If you wanted to follow, there was nothing you couldn’t do, but if you did that, you would pass Dongdaemun.
Then the real war begins.
“War with fanatics is a bit…”
Even Zeon is reluctant to go to war with fanatics.
Because I know that once I start, I can never finish it half-heartedly.
It will only end if all those loyal to John are killed.
I don’t know how many there are.
Even if we assume that only half of the population of Dongdaemun is loyal to John, there will be tens of thousands of people.
No matter how strong Zeon was, he couldn’t kill them all.
This is not because of a lack of ability, but because Zeon still retains a human heart.
“Tsk!”
Zeon clicked his tongue and turned around.
Although it was disappointing, this would have been enough of a warning to John as well.
If they provoke you again after that, you can respond then.
Zeon thought like that and walked forward.
The walk back home was not easy.
＊＊＊
“Stop putting me down!”
At Jae-kyung Kim’s words, Joshua stopped and dropped him off.
Jaekyung Kim bent down with her hands on both knees.
“Sigh! Sigh! “I thought I was going to die.”
Her face was bright red and her heart was pounding like crazy.
Thanks to Joshua, her life was saved, but it was the first time she experienced the sense of crisis she felt a moment ago.
When I still recall the memories of that time, my heart pounded and I felt nauseous.
In fact, she fell to the floor and vomited for a while.
Joshua looked at Kim Jae-kyung in silence.
Only after some time had passed did Kim Jae-kyung stand up.
She said, wiping her mouth with her sleeve.
“it’s okay. thank you! “Thank you for helping me…”
“It’s a miracle that I’m alive.”
For the first time, Joshua opened his mouth.
Unlike his androgynous appearance, he has a rough, metallic sound.
Joshua was a man.
Jaekyung Kim asked.
“Is this too much for you to handle?”
Instead of answering, Joshua lifted his sleeve. Then I saw a half-burnt sleeve.
Kim Jae-kyung opened his eyes wide.
The investigative uniform Joshua was wearing was a specially produced item.
It was a precious item with special defense against fire and water.
Such items were damaged.
This was proof that Zeon’s attack power was great.
Joshua said.
“He is at least a level B awakened person.”
“Then it’s no wonder my skills don’t work.”
Although it was only one level difference, its power was the difference between heaven and earth.
The awakened people did not risk their lives to increase their level for no reason. However, moving up the grade was never easy.
Some people have worked hard their entire lives but have come to a standstill.
The same was true for Kim Jae-kyung.
Since I was awakened to a high level from the moment I was awakened, I could not find a reason to risk my life to increase the level.
Because of that, she remained stagnant.
Kim Jae-kyung gritted his teeth and suppressed his anger.
Joshua suddenly looked back.
This is where Zeon was.
He had already left and was nowhere to be seen.
“You have good judgment.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Excellent skills and cool-headed judgment. “He is not an easy person to deal with.”
“You?”
“I was in severe shock when I blocked his attack. “If I deal with it head-on, it’s not easy for me to handle it either.”
“That much?”
“So, they must have dealt with Goran and taken over Sinchon. “If we go to war with him as is, we will definitely suffer great damage.”
“Then what should I do?”
“Convince John.”
“what?”
Kim Jae-kyung looked at me with an expression of disbelief.
This was the first time Joshua had shown such weakness.
Joshua was an inquisitor.
He was literally carrying out a mission to deal with those who did not believe in John at Dongdaemun.
This was possible because he had such strong military power and a resolute mind.
Joshua was the one who had never once regretted his mission.
I couldn’t believe he was saying this.
“If we can’t convince John, we should do our best to eliminate him. “He is not someone you can deal with by casually touching him.”
“hmm!”
“Whatever you choose is up to you.”
“Fuck!”
Jaekyung Kim swore instead of answering.
