Sand Mage Of The Burnt Desert Chapter 95
Episode 95 The
passage was dark. But to Zeon’s eyes, it looked as bright as day.
His eyes did not miss even the scratches on the walls and the pan pits on the floor.
Crunchy!
Something crumbled under his feet.
Xeon reached out and grabbed the broken object.
“The shell of a caterpillar? “It looks like some of them have already escaped.”
As with any magical beast, the risk of a ghost dragonfly increases as it becomes more adult.
The floor was full of caterpillar shells.
It was clear that many of them had already escaped.
“This is too fast.”
Zeon frowned.
All living things in the natural world have a timeline.
The time when humans are born, become adults, and grow old.
Although race and innate DNA are different, the time it takes to grow and grow old is almost the same.
The same goes for demonic beasts.
Although it varies from species to species, the timeline for the same species is almost similar.
The same goes for ghost dragonflies.
The time from hatching from an egg to becoming a larva and from the larva to becoming an adult is always constant.
Of course, the size of the larvae when they molt is also similar.
But the sizes of the shells scattered on the floor are all different.
This means that everyone was born at a different time.
However, they all broke away at about the same time.
This is something that can never happen naturally.
“It is clear that something forced them to escape.”
It was a guess that could be made because Zeon knew the physiology of magical beasts well.
Zeon continued walking, stepping on the larvae’s shell.
The size of the cave gradually grew.
Both the width and height become noticeably wider.
This is something that could never happen naturally.
But Zeon didn’t think it was strange.
This is because the dungeon itself is such a place.
Due to the failure of terraforming, the remnants of Kurayan were turned into a dungeon.
A ghost caught in a gap between dimensions and continuing to live without being able to die or live.
Some dungeons change at will, like living creatures.
The dungeon that Zeon knew was that kind of place.
So, it wasn’t strange at all when a wide open space suddenly appeared.
Like right now.
It was clearly a stuffy cave just a moment ago, but now Zeon was standing on a wide field with a view of the sky.
In an instant, the space changed.
Ugh!
What welcomed Zeon like that were numerous ghostly dragonflies.
A flock of ghostly dragonflies filled the sky with pitch black.
Even Zeon had never seen such a large group of ghost dragonflies.
“Look at this.”
Zeon’s eyes shone coldly.
What he focused on was the eyes and wings of ghost dragonflies flying in place.
Its eyes were as red as blood, and its transparent wings had an indecipherable pattern shining on them.
“Artificial berserk. As expected, someone touched it.”
For some reason, I felt cold from the moment I first entered the dungeon.
It was the same with old Klexi being held captive by a hell mole, as well as the dungeon where two entities that could never get along coexisted.
Everything felt unnatural.
It was then.
Whoa!
The ghost dragonflies that were flying in place all flew towards Zeon.
A flock of ghostly dragonflies raining down like meteors.
Zeon took sandy steps to avoid the ghost dragonfly’s attack.
Kwakwakwak!
The place where Zeon was a moment ago exploded like a bomb had hit.
It was a suicide attack.
The ghost dragonfly was also a living thing.
Of course, he knows that his life is a waste.
However, there is only one reason why people so recklessly throw away their lives and commit suicide.
“The Queen is in trouble.”
Ugh!
As if in response, the ghostly dragonflies attacked one after another.
A flock of ghostly dragonflies pouring down like rain.
The sound of their wings flapping was terrifying.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
Explosions occurred one after another.
Zeon narrowly avoided all of the explosions.
Flames surged like a tidal wave, and tremendous pressure oppressed my entire body. But despite all the threats, Xeon’s expression did not change at all.
No matter how many ghost dragonflies there were, they were no more than the grains of sand scattered in the desert.
This dungeon was also littered with sand.
“Cremore!”
The moment Zeon opened his mouth, the sand nearby exploded.
Sand exploding like Cremore, an ancient weapon of destruction.
Each tiny particle had a power comparable to that of Cremore’s iron balls.
Countless grains of sand collided with countless ghostly dragonflies.
Bub bub bub!
Grains of sand punctured the wings of the ghost dragonfly and pierced its huge eyes and body.
The ghostly dragonflies were broken, torn and disintegrated.
A large hole opened in the air where Cremore exploded. The group of ghost dragonflies that filled the place were erased.
If another awakened person had seen this scene, he or she would probably have been so shocked that they would not have been able to close their mouths.
It was that incredibly powerful.
bang! Quang!
Zeon unleashed Cremore one after another.
Each time, a bunch of ghostly dragonflies were erased from the world.
Cremore was a skill that consumed a lot of mana. Zeon used those skills in succession without any hesitation.
Ghost dragonflies that lost their wings and their bodies were torn apart fell.
The sight of the ghost dragonflies falling helplessly seemed pitiful. But Zeon walked without even paying attention to the falling ghost dragonflies.
Now there were no ghostly dragonflies blocking his path.
Zeon passed through the remains of ghost dragonflies and arrived at his destination.
There was a particularly huge ghost dragonfly there.
A monster dragonfly that seems to be twenty meters long from head to tail.
“Queen!”
The monster ghost dragonfly was the queen.
But his condition was miserable.
The beautiful and transparent wings disappeared, as if they had been forcibly torn off, and the long, beautiful tail was broken in half and lying around.
Translucent shells were scattered here and there on the floor.
The queen ghost dragonfly was about to pass out.
He was breathing heavily and his legs were shaking.
Zeon approached the queen ghost dragonfly. Then, I saw seven chisels stuck in the back of the queen ghost dragonfly.
The bells were arranged like the Big Dipper.
Zeon pulled out a chisel.
Still, the queen ghost dragonfly could not resist.
Because my strength was already exhausted.
Zeon looked at Jeong closely.
It was clear that the item had a magic circle engraved on its surface.
“The reverberation of magical power… This is the Tamer’s work. “Forcibly accelerated shedding.”
Insect-type demon beasts shed their skin several times in their lives.
Each time it molts, it grows larger and becomes more powerful.
But you don’t escape at any time.
Only when a certain amount of mana is accumulated and complete physically and mentally can one proceed to the next level.
In Zeon’s opinion, it was not yet time for the queen ghost dragonfly to shed her skin. However, an unknown tamer forcibly accelerated the queen ghost dragonfly’s escape.
“The reason you are forced to shed your skin is because of the wings?”
Zeon recalled Brielle’s words.
It is said that the wings of a newly molted queen ghost dragonfly are not affected by gravity.
If the Tamer wanted the wings of the queen ghost dragonfly, it would have been enough.
It’s clear that a great tamer would have the ability to force a ghost dragon to escape.
“But is this possible for the Tamer alone?”
Xeon looked around.
It was a double dungeon with two bosses.
No matter how powerful a Tamer was, it was impossible to subdue all these magical beasts and have them do their bidding.
There was definitely a helper.
The question was whether the helper was an individual or a force.
“There is a high probability that it is a faction.”
Not only did they discover a dungeon in the desert, they infiltrated it while avoiding the guards.
This would have been impossible without power.
Zeon shook his head slightly and waved his hand. Then a huge fire broke out and engulfed the queen ghost dragonfly.
The queen ghost dragonfly instantly turned into a handful of ash.
＊＊＊
A man and a woman were walking through a desert without people.
It was a man wearing a wide robe, similar to a woman wearing a loose robe.
Both of them were wearing hats so their faces were not visible.
“…”
The woman suddenly stopped and raised her head. Then the man next to him opened his mouth.
“Why are you doing that?”
“The queen is dead.”
“okay? “I guess he has stopped breathing now.”
“It’s not time to die yet…”
The woman tilted her head.
I calculated it accurately and used my hands.
I forcibly molted it and tore off its wings, but I thought it would be able to fully recover over time.
However, contrary to her expectations, the queen died.
“It seems like an unexpected variable has occurred.”
“That could be possible.”
The man nodded. But he didn’t look like he was worried much.
His mission is to protect the woman who is a tamer.
Once he enters Neo Seoul, his mission is over.
He hated worrying about anything other than his mission.
The woman slightly frowned at the man’s grumpy attitude.
‘Well, it’s not something I need to worry about anymore. ‘Because I completed the request safely.’
She is a B-class tamer.
Although it is called a tamer, it does not mean that it can tame all magical beasts. If that were the case, the ruler of this desert would have been her, not the demon beast.
The number of demonic beasts that could be tamed was extremely limited, and it was even impossible to tame a demonic beast higher than her level.
In particular, it was impossible to tame the boss of one dungeon regardless of level.
The dungeon boss had a definite ego.
A demon beast with such a strong ego instinctively refuses to be subjugated by humans.
The same was true for the queen ghost dragonfly.
The queen, the pinnacle of a group, has a strong ego and could never be subjugated by her own abilities.
It was entirely thanks to the item that she was able to subjugate the Queen Ghost Dragonfly and force her to shed her skin.
A jeweled necklace hangs around her neck.
The jewel embedded in the center was scattering seven types of light in all directions.
It is a gem called rainbow jam.
So the name of the necklace is Rainbow Pendant.
‘It’s an S-class item…’
Her hand caressing the necklace trembled.
It wasn’t her thing.
It was an S-class item briefly lent to me by the man next to me.
The power of the S-class item was truly processed.
Her abilities, which were only B-level, were temporarily elevated to S-level.
Thanks to this, I was able to temporarily subjugate the Queen Ghost Dragonfly and the Legion.
Thanks to this, we were able to forcibly promote growth and even cause molting.
All this was done to obtain the wings of the queen ghost dragonfly.
In the process, a raiding party unexpectedly came in and lured the hell mole.
However, thanks to the man who assisted by her side, all problems were easily resolved.
‘Who on earth could it be?’
She did not know the man’s identity.
The man did not take off the hat he wore from beginning to end.
However, I knew that he was incredibly strong.
It was because of the man’s abilities shown inside the dungeon.
If he makes up his mind, he will turn into a piece of meat in an instant.
As we walked in silence, we arrived at Neo Seoul.
They arrived at the gate that led directly into Neo Seoul, not into the slums.
The man at the door said.
“Let’s part ways at this point.”
He held out his hand to the woman.
The meaning was to return the rainbow pendant that I had borrowed for a while.
The woman bit her lip.
Because I really didn’t want to give it back. But I had to return it.
She forcefully unwrapped the rainbow pendant and returned it to the man.
The man said as he stored the rainbow pendant and the wings of the queen ghost dragonfly into the subspace.
“We’ll meet again on the next request. “Claire.”
“When is the next request?”
“I will notify you then. “Until then, rest well.”
“yes!”
A woman called Claire answered with a trembling voice.
When they entered Neo Seoul, the two walked in different directions.
After passing through the downtown area, the man headed to City Hall, the tallest building in Neo Seoul.
The awakened man guarding the city hall greeted the man politely.
“Welcome. The mayor is waiting.”
