Sand Mage Of The Burnt Desert Chapter 97
Episode 97
: The Inazuma raid team blinked.
“What is that?”
“Are you a summoner and not a fire mage?”
Soldiers who looked like him stood around Zeon.
Although it was made of sand and had blunt features, its body shape resembled Zeon’s.
Sand Soldier.
Soldiers made of sand.
Zeon summoned just as many Sand Soldiers as the number of Inazuma raiders.
“Now let’s get started.”
As soon as Zeon finished speaking, the Sand Soldiers attacked the Inazuma raiding party.
“Do you really think you can be defeated by a summon like this?”
“Chaaa!”
The Inazuma raid team unleashed their skills and attacked the Sand Soldiers.
Kwasik!
Vairun’s ax plunged deep into the Sand Soldier’s chest.
The Sand Soldier, who struggled for a moment, collapsed and returned to the sand.
“Hehe! “It was no big deal.”
He smiled, showing his white teeth.
At that moment, something amazing happened.
The Sand Soldier, who had returned to the sand, stood up again.
“what?”
bang!
The Sand Soldier attacked the defenseless Bai Lun.
Bai Lun was struck in the abdomen and flew almost ten meters before falling to the ground.
“Ugh!”
He stood up with a frustrated expression.
The Sand Soldier was running toward him.
‘No fear, no emotions. Because it is an inanimate summoned body, there is no fear of death.’
That’s why Xeon liked to summon Sand Soldiers.
It was not only Bai Lun who was in trouble.
“damn! Even if you break it, it comes back to life.”
Wind wizard Yuri was scared.
It was obviously torn to pieces by a sharp wind, but the Sand Soldier was restored in good condition.
Shuhan and Komain were also in trouble.
Shuhan, who was trying to figure out Zeon’s power, was put in danger by the Sand Soldier and was saved by Comain.
Comain’s ability was Blink.
It has the rare ability to instantly move to a place within sight.
However, Blink cannot be used carelessly.
The number of times and distance it could be used was limited depending on the grade and amount of mana.
Around 20 meters or so, about 30 times.
That was the distance and number of blinks Comain could perform per day.
I’ve only used it ten times against Hell Mole, but I’ve already used it fifteen times against Sand Soldiers.
There are now five left.
Komain shouted to Koji.
“Leader! “Please do something.”
“Chick show!”
Kouji cursed.
I didn’t know that I would struggle with summons that weren’t even Xeon.
The Sand Soldier, who came back to life after being cut down, was nothing short of a nightmare.
“There must be a nucleus.”
All inanimate summoned bodies have a nucleus.
Kouji closed his eyes and brought up all his senses.
He demonstrated one of the swordsman’s skills: understanding the human body.
I don’t know if it would work on the inanimate Sand Soldier, but it was still better than not doing it.
Fortunately, he was able to find the Sand Soldier’s core.
“There is a nucleus in the right side.”
Bye!
He cut down the Sand Soldier in one go.
Perhaps because the core was cut out, the Sand Soldier did not regenerate.
“good!”
“It’s the right side.”
The subordinates who saw this attacked the Sand Soldier’s right flank.
Bye!
The Sand Soldiers, whose core was shattered, returned to the sand. And it never came back to life again.
“Sigh! Haha!”
“Fuck! “I thought it was falling.”
Yuri let out a harsh breath, and Bai Lun swore and took away the axe.
Both Comain and Shuhan defeated the Sand Soldier.
They glared at Zeon.
“Now it’s your turn.”
“I’ll cut every bone.”
Because they had a hard time against the Sand Soldiers, their anger was sky high.
While they were fighting like crazy, Zeon was watching calmly with his arms in his robe pockets.
Even though all the summoned Sand Soldiers returned to the sand, Xeon muttered without changing his expression.
“Is this the limit against awakened people?”
From the beginning, I did not expect the Sand Soldier to have as much combat power as the Awakened.
No matter how much Xeon’s will worked on the Sand Soldier, he could not think on his own and move like an awakened person fighting.
The difference was what it was now.
All of the Sand Soldiers he had summoned returned to the sand, and the Inazuma raiders were attacking him.
Wedge!
Koji’s katana flies with a sharp sound.
The sharp wind of glass comes from all directions, squeezing him.
Comain’s Blink approaches in the blink of an eye as Bairun’s ax follows behind him.
All of that came into Zeon’s eyes clearly.
Zeon muttered in a voice without any sense of crisis.
“If five doesn’t work, how about twenty?”
As soon as he finished speaking, twenty Sand Soldiers stood up around Zeon.
“crazy!”
Kouji’s eyes, as he was swinging the katana, wavered.
The Inazuma attack force was in a serious crisis with just five Sand Soldiers.
The appearance of twenty Sand Soldiers, four times that number, made his heart sink.
“What are you? What! “Fuck!”
The cold mask Kouji was wearing was broken.
Kouji’s real face, whose mask was broken, was horribly distorted.
Zeon said, observing his expression closely.
“Did you attack me without even knowing that?”
“This bastard….”
Boom!
With an explosion, sand flew everywhere.
One Sand Soldier blocked Kouji’s katana with his body.
The Sand Soldiers completely neutralized the attacks of other awakened people.
The Sand Soldiers blocked it with their bodies and didn’t care if it exploded.
He threw himself in without hesitation to protect Zeon.
The Inazuma attack force attacked the right flank where the Sand Soldiers’ core was located. But I couldn’t feel the nucleus.
“The location of the nucleus has changed.”
“Shit!”
The Sand Soldiers that had been destroyed were instantly restored to their original state and attacked them.
The Sand Soldiers were their nightmare.
“Keuuk!”
Shuhan was the first to fall down screaming.
He, who had the least fighting ability, was hit first.
Next was the co-main.
Comain, whose blink count had run out, was nothing more than an easy prey for the Sand Soldier.
“Oops!”
He fell screaming and never moved again.
Kouji and Yuri Bairun’s eyes turned red and bloodshot.
The death of their colleague robbed them of their reason.
Usually, once a raid team is formed, it is maintained until the end unless something serious happens.
Naturally, they know each other so well that a deep bond is bound to develop.
In a way, it becomes a relationship that goes beyond biological blood.
It was understandable that their eyes would roll as they lost a colleague who was like family to them.
They ignored defense and rushed in.
To Zeon’s eyes, they looked like moths.
It is exactly like jumping into a fire even though you know you will die.
Zeon rained fire on them.
“Fire Rain!”
It was a fire of a different level of power than before.
In addition, the Sand Soldiers’ attack was added.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
A huge explosion shook the dungeon completely.
＊＊＊
Quarrr!
Jack and the raid team lost their balance and fell to their knees due to the tremendous vibration and shaking felt under their feet.
“Ugh!”
“what? “Has the dungeon disappeared?”
Sometimes, when a dungeon disappears, it causes a huge shock to those around it. However, this was the first time that the entire area shook like an earthquake.
“What happened? “What about the people in the dungeon?”
If the dungeon disappears, the people inside will naturally disappear as well.
Of course, I had to get out of the dungeon before it disappeared.
Jack’s voice trembled.
“It’s not like you couldn’t escape, right?”
“What… couldn’t get out?”
At that time, someone’s voice was heard from behind.
It was the voice of old Clexi, who was riding on his back.
“Chairman!”
“I handed over the union to Sehee, but he is still the union president.”
“I’m glad you’re safe.”
Jack quickly lowered old Clexie to the floor.
Old Clexi shook his head and said.
“What are you talking about?”
“yes?”
“You said you couldn’t get out? who?”
“That’s…”
Jack couldn’t speak easily.
Old Clexi asked urgently.
“What happened? I remember getting caught by the hell mole, but how did you save me? “Your abilities would not have been enough.”
Although he had just come to his senses, Old Man Clexi quickly regained his sharp sense of reason.
It was a hell mole dungeon where even the raiding party he personally led failed. He couldn’t understand why Jack’s less skilled attack team had saved him.
“That’s…”
“You can’t say it straight.”
In the end, Jack told the truth.
“That’s actually…”
Old Clexi clicked his tongue after hearing the whole story.
“So you left Xeon behind?”
“sorry.”
“Was that Sehee’s decision?”
“It was a decision I had no choice but to make as the president of the union. There aren’t enough awakened people in other dungeons…”
“So you’re joining hands with Xiaorun? How cunning that person is. “That person is not a size that Sehee can handle.”
“Actually, it’s not Xiaorun, but a Tajik…”
“He’s a guy that Xiaorun raised and trusts. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a copy of Xiao Lun. I can’t believe a guy like that would take the bait offered to him. “Did you hand over the leadership of the union early for no reason?”
He wasn’t worried about Zeon’s safety.
Because although she is an interesting being, she is no more important than her granddaughter.
What was disappointing was Yoo Se-hee’s immaturity in accepting Tajik’s offer too easily.
“Anyway, it’s unfortunate. “He’s more worth using.”
Old Clexi clicked his tongue, thinking of Xeon.
He was already convinced that Zeon was dead.
No matter how much you deny it, there are many differences between the slums and the awakened people of Neo-Seoul.
The Inazuma Attack Team was recognized for its capabilities even in Neo Seoul.
Old Clexi’s thought was that no matter how strong Zeon was, he would be helpless in front of their organizational power.
It was when old Clexi looked with faint eyes in the direction where the dungeon was located.
Quaaa!
Suddenly, a wisp of dust rose high into the sky from where the dungeon was.
“huh?”
“What is that?”
Other people also saw the scene and murmured.
At that time, something popped out from the dust rising high into the sky.
The protruding object quickly flew towards where Old Man Clexi was.
Old Clexi’s eyes widened.
“no way?”
He wasn’t the only one who rolled his eyes.
Jack and his men’s eyes opened wide as if they were about to pop out.
An object came into their field of vision, flying like a bird and rapidly approaching.
It took only a few seconds to realize it was a human.
Good!
The flying object landed lightly in front of Old Man Clexi and Jack’s attack team.
“How?”
Their voices suddenly trembled.
This is because the object that landed in front of old Clexi was a person they knew.
Old Clexi said to him:
“Are you alive? Xeon!”
The one who flew in from afar was none other than Zeon.
Zeon said with a smile.
“Oh! You’re awake?”
