Sand Mage of the Burnt Desert - Chapter 93
Sand Mage Of The Burnt Desert Chapter 93
Episode 93:
The awakened people entered the dungeon.
As you might guess, the dungeon was a maze-shaped cave.
It was like an ant tunnel, so it was open in all directions, so I couldn’t specify the direction. But no one who entered the dungeon was embarrassed.
Because they had a guide.
As if it was natural, Shuhan stepped forward from the Inazuma raid.
Shuhan was an experienced guide.
Although Do Soo-yeol was quite capable as a guide, he was nothing compared to Shu Han in terms of rank and experience.
Knowing that he himself was inadequate, he gave up the vanguard to Shuhan.
Shuhan sniffed and muttered.
“Sniff! “It smells really bad.”
“To what extent?”
“It’s awful! “It’s been a while since I’ve had this stink.”
“okay?”
Kouji’s eyes sank deeply.
He deeply trusted his guide, Shuhan.
The dungeons that Shuhan said had a bad smell were all dangerous.
He said to the other awakened people.
“Did you hear? “Be prepared.”
“yes!”
“hmm!”
The awakened people were nervous.
They say they entered the dungeon together, but they were not a team.
Inazuma Attack Team, Jack’s Attack Team, and awakened people recruited from the slums.
Their identities were different and their goals were different.
Of course they couldn’t come together.
Naturally, they were divided into three categories.
Zeon joined Jack’s attack team.
“Goes.”
The Inazuma attack force led by Shuhan went ahead, followed by Jack’s attack force and the awakened people of the slums.
Zeon walked at the rear of Jack’s attack party.
His eyes were keenly scanning the cave.
‘The entire cave is made of sandstone. The height is about three meters and the width is similar. Are those scars on the wall claw marks?
It may seem trivial on the surface, but these little things provide quite a bit of information.
Suddenly, Zeon’s eyes turned to a small stain on the wall.
At first glance, it appears to be a shadow created by the light, but Xeon immediately notices that that is not the case.
‘Is it female sedge?’
There is a mushroom called Cordyceps sinensis.
It is named so because it lives as a parasite on the bodies of insects in the winter and appears like grass in the summer.
Amchungsicacho is named after Cordyceps sinensis.
This is because the physiology is similar.
In rocks, it moves parasitic on magical beasts, but in sand, it takes root like moss.
Even if it is the same rock, it cannot use much strength on sandstone where sand is condensed.
It is not a threat to humans in itself.
‘But it’s good food for some demon beasts.’
Zeon thought of the demonic beasts that couldn’t use four limbs.
‘A cave of this size can be freely entered and left. Claw marks and female sedge on the wall. I guess the owner of this dungeon is a bastard.’
Zeon even identified the owner of the dungeon in an instant.
Zeon spoke to Kouji to give him his information.
“hey!”
“Shh! Haven’t you heard that you have to be quiet in the dungeon? “Remain silent until I command you to.”
Kouji looked at Zeon with contemptuous eyes.
It was the same for others.
“Tsk!”
Zeon clicked his tongue softly and stepped back.
Anyway, he had done enough.
There was no guilt because they were responsible for what would happen from now on.
At that time, Kouji sent a hand signal to Shuhan.
‘Have you found out what kind of demons live there?’
Shuhan shook his head instead of answering.
It was only the beginning of the dungeon.
There was too little information to identify the demonic beasts inhabiting the dungeon.
Shuhan advanced cautiously.
I didn’t know what kind of demon would come out of the dungeon.
Before that, one of his missions was to find out his identity and inform the attack team.
Sniff!
Shuhan smelled the air.
There was a passageway that had a particularly sour smell.
‘You must avoid this place.’
The more likely it was that demonic beasts would gather in places like this.
Shuhan led the group down the aisle that felt the least unpleasant.
It was when we reached the middle of the aisle.
Kwakagak!
Shuhan’s hearing sensed a strange sound.
he shouted.
“A demonic beast appears ahead. Everyone prepare for battle!”
As soon as he finished speaking, two light sources appeared on the other side of the passage.
There was no one who did not know that those were the eyes of a demonic beast.
Kouji gave an order.
“glass! “Attack.”
“yes!”
Yuri swung his fan in response.
Then the blade of the wind flew away fiercely.
Quang!
The blade of wind exploded exactly on the demon beast’s head.
The demon fell down with a loud scream due to the strong impact.
Wow!
Yuri muttered, frowning as the screams echoed through the cave.
“It’s no big deal.”
She was a wind type mage. And he called himself a wind wizard. That’s how confident he was in his wind magic.
For her, dealing with this level of magic was as easy as flipping the palm of her hand.
“Judging by his reaction, he is only a D-class demon beast.”
“good! “Let’s push it away at once.”
“This dungeon won’t be that dangerous.”
The faces of the awakened people brightened at Yuri’s words.
An awakened person like Yuri was like a human measuring instrument.
I was able to accurately distinguish the level of the magical beast from the repulsion felt in my hand.
If D-class demons inhabit this dungeon, the owner of the dungeon would be at most C-class.
If it was that level of a demonic beast, the awakened people who entered here would be enough to hunt it down.
The tension disappeared from the faces of the awakened people.
Kouji was the first to confirm the identity of the fallen demon beast.
“This thing looks like a mole.”
The demon beast that fell from Yuri’s attack resembled a mole.
A giant mole that reaches two meters in height and is over four meters long from head to tail.
At that time, Zeon, who had been silent, opened his mouth.
“They’re called hell moles.”
“Do you know this guy’s identity?”
Kouji looked at Zeon with an unexpected expression.
Zeon sighed and answered.
“Hell moles are demonic beasts that have an exceptionally strong love for their kin. “When one person dies, the whole clan rushes in to take revenge.”
“That’s it…”
“The problem is the number of clans. “There can be at least hundreds or at most thousands of them living together as one blood relative.”
“Hundreds and thousands?”
It was a moment when Kouji’s eyebrows twitched.
Shuhan shouted urgently.
“Leader! “I can feel the presence of demonic beasts everywhere.”
“What?”
“You have to hurry. “They’re close.”
“Everyone prepare for battle!”
It was time for Kouji to give an urgent order.
Kieee!
Wow!
Hell moles appeared throughout the cave.
The awakened people looked tired of the army of hell moles that appeared, filling the cave that was like an anthill.
“what?”
“crazy!”
The hell moles rushed toward the awakened people who killed their families, radiating intense hostility.
It looked like a mole, but it was as fast as a horse.
The hell mole’s greatest weapon was its large claws.
The claws, which could cut even rocks like tofu, were a huge threat in themselves.
“Fuck!”
“Stop it! “If it breaks through, you will be annihilated.”
Each awakened person took charge of a passage and blocked the hell mole’s advance.
bang! Quaaaang!
An explosion echoed inside the cave.
The awakened people unfolded their respective skills.
Some wielded weapons filled with auras, while others performed magic.
The hell moles screamed and fell down from their attack. However, the expressions of the awakened people did not brighten.
This is because hell moles kept appearing no matter how many times I killed them.
The reason hell moles are scary is because they are not afraid of death like other witches.
The blood shed when a comrade dies acts as a catalyst to amplify the hell mole’s madness.
The hell mole, engulfed in madness, rushed at the awakened people like crazy.
There was another problem.
“shit! “C-grade is mixed in.”
The hell mole army, which was thought to be simply a group of D-class members, now has a large number of C-class members.
Quang! pop!
They approached, blocking the awakened men’s attacks with their bare bodies. And he cut off the awakened people who attacked with his claws.
Come on!
“Kaaak!”
“evil!”
A group of hell moles clung to the awakened people who fell down, sprinkling blood, and bitten them.
The awakened people disappeared into the belly of the hell mole in an instant.
In an instant, more than a dozen awakened people died.
Zeon looked at the scene with cold eyes.
‘This is why dealing with hell moles is such a pain. The madness of not being afraid of death on the battlefield, which is advantageous to them, and the tenacity of ignoring most attacks.’
This is why group demons are difficult to deal with.
To deal with a group of demonic beasts, you need to understand your physiology and prepare perfectly, but because you attacked recklessly, something like this happened.
Hell moles also approached Zeon, who was standing in a dark place.
Two C-class and three D-class.
It was quite a powerful force.
Kueh!
The claws swung together with a hell mole’s distinctive scream.
At that moment, an intense flame erupted from Zeon’s entire body.
The hell moles screamed in the blinding light. No matter how degenerated his eyes were, he still had vision.
A fire missile pierced the hell mole’s head.
Bub bub bub!
The hell mole’s head was broken.
Jack saw that and shouted.
“fire! It’s fire. “They have degenerated eyes and are weak to light.”
Fortunately, among the awakened people in the slums, there were a few who knew how to use fire magic.
Because he was a low-level awakened, his power was not that great, but it was still important to be able to use fire magic.
When you use flame magic, an intense light is inevitably emitted.
The intense light caused great damage to the hell mole.
Wow!
“Now is the time.”
“I’m dead!”
The awakened people did not miss the opportunity and slaughtered the hell moles.
Kouji cut down three or four hell moles at once with his katana, and swept Yuri away with wind magic.
As befits a berserker class, Byrun went on a rampage carrying only an axe.
Jack’s attack team was also steadily reducing the number of hell moles.
But no matter how many times I killed them, hell moles appeared endlessly.
I had to find a breakthrough.
Then Shuhan shouted.
“Captain, this way.”
The place Shuhan pointed to was a passage lined with an unusually large number of hell moles.
“There’s a dungeon boss over here.”
The best way to destroy a group of demon beasts is to kill the boss. Then, the command system collapses and the demonic beasts disperse.
Fortunately, Shuhan found out where the boss was in time.
“good! Everyone runs where Shuhan leads.”
Kouji ran, cutting down the hell moles blocking his path.
Inazuma was in the lead, the awakened people from the slums were in the middle, and Jack’s attack team was at the back.
Zeon moved at the very rear of the Jack attack team.
Every time he lifted his finger, a ray of fire split the darkness.
Each time, the hell moles died one by one.
If he puts his mind to it, he can instantly annihilate this hellish mole army all by himself.
The reason he didn’t do that was because he didn’t want to reveal his power to them, but another reason was even bigger.
‘It feels uncomfortable!’
Clearly, the awakened people guarding the dungeon said that Zeon and his party were the first to attack it. However, the movements of the hell mole were too suspicious to believe that was the case.
Just as humans develop by dealing with demonic beasts, demonic beasts also become more responsive as they deal with humans.
The movements of the hell mole currently attacking Zeon and his group were also similar.
‘They have experience dealing with humans.’
Zeon’s gaze turned forward.
Shuhan was leading the way to the passage where the boss was.
