Sand Mage of the Burnt Desert - Chapter 92

Sand Mage Of The Burnt Desert Chapter 92

Episode 92

‘It’s not a very welcoming atmosphere.’

Zeon sensed the cold atmosphere flowing through the vacant lot.

Still, I didn’t think it felt bad.

Because to them, you are just a stranger.

If you think about it, you were a stranger everywhere.

He visited quite a few colonies and met many people, but no one welcomed him from the beginning.

Be wary and suspicious.

There is no such thing as easily opening the locked door of your heart.

Everything around us was a risk that threatened survival, and people were well aware of this fact.

Therefore, strangers they meet for the first time are regarded as enemies and treated hostilely.

It was the same for Xeon, so I never felt disappointed.

Jack approached Xeon.

“Xeon?”

“What about that one?”

“My name is Jack. I am the strategy leader of the goblin market. “You can follow my orders from now on.”

“All right.”

“I know that they have great abilities. However, individual actions are not tolerated. “I hope you follow my orders while we conquer the dungeon.”

“All right.”

Zeon answered right away without adding a single word.

Instead, Jack looked surprised.

This is because the stronger the awakened person, the stronger the tendency to move as he pleases. So, I spoke a little strongly in the beginning to establish discipline, but Zeon accepted it obediently, which was rather embarrassing.

Jack looked closely at Xeon’s expression. However, it was impossible to read because the hat of the robe was pressed down too deeply.

‘Rather, this type is picky. ‘It won’t be easy to control.’

He spoke to Inazuma while hiding his true feelings.

“Everyone is here, so you can leave.”

“Then let’s leave.”

Koji, the leader of Inazuma, answered indifferently and walked away.

Buggy cars were waiting where he headed.

The buggy, which had been modified for use in the desert, was loaded with various luggage.

The buggy carrying Inazuma’s attack team, Jack’s attack team, and other awakened people departed.

A line of buggies crossing the desert.

Do Soo-yeol, riding in Jack’s buggy, opened his mouth.

“It’s so hot. “Isn’t it hot, Hyung?”

His question was directed at Xeon.

Zeon answered while looking at the desert.

“It’s bearable.”

“Maybe an item?”

Do Soo-yeol’s eyes turned to Zeon’s robe.

The coat-shaped robe that Zeon was wearing looked very precious at first glance.

There is no sign of wear and shine.

I guessed that because even though it was hit by quite a bit of sandstorm, not a single speck of dust had accumulated on the surface.

Zeon nodded.

“you’re right.”

“Does Clean Magic also have a temperature control function? “Which workshop is this?”

There are quite a few workshops in Neo Seoul.

Each workshop has its own characteristics, so if you know the name of the manufacturing workshop, you can infer its performance.

These little bits of information come together and become a big help later.

As he was in charge of the vanguard of the Jack attack team, Do Soo-yeol habitually collected information like this.

“It was made by an acquaintance.”

“like! Private workshop?”

“You could say so.”

“Which workshop is it? Are your skills okay? “If you do well, I can use it too.”

“It’s quite usable. But it’s okay to introduce it. “Because I’m not from here.”

“Out?”

“I’ve talked so much that my throat feels raw.”

Zeon drank water instead of answering.

The meaning of his actions was simple.

I don’t want to answer.

Do Soo-yeol also noticed that fact.

‘You mean you know how to change a horse? Even so, you will tell me all the information.’

You may be wary now, but once you enter the dungeon, you will come to rely on this. The person who relies on you will feel a psychological burden, and when that happens, you will reveal a lot of information without even realizing it.

In fact, Do Soo-yeol used that psychological advantage to obtain quite a bit of information.

Do Soo-yeol was confident that it would be the same this time as well.

Zeon looked at the desert without paying any attention to Do Soo-yeol.

It was my first time going this far since I came to Neo Seoul.

I didn’t know that that might be why the blowing hot sand breeze felt quite refreshing.

The sand in the wind may only cause suffering to others, but it does no harm to Zeon.

Rather, he caressed Zeon in a pleasant way.

Suddenly, Zeon felt a stinging gaze.

The place where I felt eyes was on the buggy that the Inazuma attack team was riding in.

Among them, an old man named Shuhan was staring at Zeon.

The way he was sniffing seemed like he was trying to gather information from Zeon.

Perfect!

Zeon lightly snapped his fingers.

At that moment, an intense flash of light erupted around Zeon’s body.

“Ouch!”

Shuhan suddenly held his nose and screamed.

This is because the intense heat contained in the flash of light momentarily paralyzed his sense of smell.

Kouji asked Shuhan.

“what?”

“I tried to gather information about the author through smell…”

“I did?”

“The heat has paralyzed my sense of smell.”

“Is it a permanent disability?”

“It’s a temporary phenomenon.”

“That’s it then.”

“But…”

“Tajik is the subject of attention. “It means he has that kind of ability.”

Kouji’s eyes looking at Zeon were cold.

A strong killing intent was hidden behind his cool eyes.

‘Tajik told me to estimate him. If the capacity is met, if the capacity is not enough, remove it.’

A cold smile appeared on his lips.

There are more than dozens of people who received and processed orders from Tajik.

They all gave their lives to the katana in his arms.

Kouji thought it would be the same this time too.

The buggy procession crossed the desert at very high speed.

Taltal!

Although it has only traveled a distance of twenty kilometers, the engine noise is unusual.

The sand is already putting a strain on the engine.

Technology developed through a combination of magic and science, but it still could not overcome the desert sand.

If you want to travel a long distance by car, you must have a mechanic with you. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to cover vehicles that broke down.

In particular, smaller vehicles like this tend to break down more easily.

Because of that, their radius of action was fixed around Neo Seoul.

‘Anyway, it’s a new dungeon. Hasn’t it been quite a while since a dungeon was discovered near Neo Seoul?’

Since the Awakened’s activity radius is limited due to the sand, I focused on targeting dungeons around Neo Seoul.

Because of that, the dungeons around Neo Seoul have been dry for a long time.

Kouji asked Yuri who was next to him.

“What type of dungeon is it?”

“First of all, it has been confirmed that it is a cave-type dungeon.”

“Cave type? “It could be a maze.”

“I expect that to be the case with a high probability.”

“If it’s really a maze, it’s going to be quite a headache.”

“Shuhan’s role is important. “In a maze-type dungeon, the guide’s ability is absolute.”

At Yuri’s answer, Kouji’s eyes turned to Shuhan.

“Can I trust you?”

“Please leave it to me. Leader!”

Shuhan, who had completely recovered his sense of smell, boasted.

They spoke very quietly, but every word of their voice was heard by Zeon.

‘It’s a maze-type dungeon. I’m also an expert at finding mazes.’

There are probably very few people who have conquered more dungeons in Neo Seoul than Zeon.

After Deioden’s death, Zeon entered numerous dungeons.

Sometimes I went in voluntarily, and other times I had no choice.

The experience gained from conquering so many dungeons became an asset to Zeon.

Zeon was confident that he would not be embarrassed no matter what dungeon he encountered.

At that time, I felt the buggy slowly slowing down.

Looking ahead, I saw a group of people gathered under a large sand dune.

They were awakened people guarding the discovered dungeon.

Kouji got out of the buggy and approached them.

“What are the dungeon trends?”

“There are no signs of anything unusual. “It is exactly as it was when found.”

“okay? “That’s a good thing.”

There were dungeons where the personality changed occasionally.

In such dungeons, there was a sign from the entrance, so it was easy to detect changes.

The awakened people currently guarding the dungeon entrance were dispatched from Neo Seoul and had quite a lot of experience.

It is their judgment, so you can trust it.

Kouji gave an order.

“good! “We will enter the dungeon in ten minutes, so everyone check your equipment again.”

“yes!”

The Inazuma raid team responded and checked their equipment.

Jack’s attack team and the awakened people from the slums also sat down and checked their equipment once again.

It wasn’t any other place, it was entering a dungeon.

I had no idea what danger lurked inside.

Even after checking and checking it two and three times, it was never excessive.

While everyone was diligently checking their equipment, only Zeon was lingering at the entrance of the dungeon.

“It’s cave-shaped…”

For some reason, there was a deep furrow between his eyebrows.

He asked the awakened person guarding the dungeon entrance.

“Is there anyone inside?”

“You guys are the first. “But why do you ask that?”

“It’s just personal curiosity.”

It was then.

“Hey, my friend.”

A loud voice called out to Zeon.

The owner of the voice was Bai Lun, one of Inazuma’s crew.

Byrun was glaring at Zeon with his ax slung over his shoulder.

“You mean me?”

“Are you the only one here who is so blind?”

“So what business is it?”

“Why don’t you check the equipment? “You’re not going to go into the dungeon like that, are you?”

“What’s wrong with this?”

Zeon answered by raising his arms.

At that, Bai Lun’s eyes became more sinister.

“You’re going in like that without any armor?”

“And aren’t you only wearing a piece of cloth?”

“I am a barbarian. I don’t need any armor or anything. “Only this ax is enough.”

“I don’t need any other armor either.”

“Are you a wizard?”

“Are you curious about something like that? “You will find out soon once you enter the dungeon.”

“Huh! cheeky.”

Bai Lun’s face suddenly distorted.

The barbarian’s unique and powerful force flowed out and put pressure on Zeon. However, Zeon’s face, which took the brunt of his momentum, showed no signs of shaking.

At that time, Koji grabbed Bai Lun’s shoulder.

“Enough of that.”

“But Captain….”

“Use your power inside the dungeon.”

“Ugh! All right.”

Bai Lun frowned and stepped back.

Kouji looked at Zeon.

“My subordinate was rude.”

“it’s okay.”

“But you didn’t say anything completely wrong. “The dungeon is very dangerous, so it’s not enough to be fully prepared.”

“I know.”

“But can I take the fact that you don’t prepare to mean that you are that confident?”

“yes!”

Kouji’s eyes turned sharp at Zeon’s answer.

“You have great confidence. by the way.”

“yes?”

“Please don’t disappoint me when you enter the dungeon. “The moment I disappoint you, you will die by my hands.”

The expressions of the people nearby hardened at Kouji’s cold words.

It felt like the temperature in the area had dropped by three or four degrees due to the bitter cold.

It was the same for Jack.

‘Is this Captain Inazuma’s momentum? It’s really creepy.’

He thought that Zeon felt the same way. But when he saw Zeon in person, there was a gentle smile on his face.

“That won’t happen.”
