Sand Mage Of The Burnt Desert Chapter 98
Episode 98
At that moment, old Clexi felt the blood in his whole body go cold.
I felt chills as if I had been doused in ice water, and alarm bells kept ringing in my head.
He sensed the unusual atmosphere contained in Zeon’s short words. But he tried to answer with a calm expression.
“I came to my senses a little while ago.”
“thank god.”
“I heard you also participated in the raid team?”
“I asked for a favor from the union president, Yoo Se-hee.”
“Anyway, thank you. “Thanks to you, I was able to survive.”
“I’m glad it helped.”
Zeon laughed.
That laugh felt creepy, like a knife stuck to my throat.
Old Clexi spoke up.
“Did you come out of the dungeon alone?”
“yes!”
“What about the Inazuma attack team?”
“I guess I couldn’t get out.”
“Weren’t we together?”
“There was.”
“however?”
“It looks like they couldn’t find their way out.”
“hmm!”
Old man Clexi let out a sigh without even realizing it.
Koji, the leader of the Inazuma attack team, was a B-class awakened person.
The servant, Yuri Byrun Komain, is a C grade and Shuhan is a D grade.
It was not a force that could be looked at lightly.
With this level of power, the slum raiders could be wiped out in an instant.
That kind of power got lost and couldn’t get out of the dungeon?
This is a story that no one will believe if they hear it.
‘Are you saying you annihilated the Inazuma raiding party by yourself?’
You can see it if you look closely, but there wasn’t a single common scratch on Xeon’s whole body.
‘Following Goran, to the Inazuma Attack Force…’
Gulp!
Old Clexi swallowed dry saliva without realizing it.
This much must be acknowledged.
That the man in front of him right now is a person of great ability.
It was clear that behind that handsome appearance was hiding unimaginable ferocity and cruelty.
“Has the dungeon completely disappeared?”
“yes!”
“Right.”
When a dungeon disappears, of course everything inside it disappears.
The Inazuma Attack Force was also completely erased from this world.
Zeon said.
“It’s unfortunate.”
“What… do you mean?”
“It means that high-level personnel like the Inazuma Attack Team were unable to escape from the dungeon.”
“yes.”
“There won’t be any problem, right?”
“Probably not…probably not.”
“thank god. “I just hate being bothered.”
“hmm!”
Old Clexi noticed that he was clenching his fists.
My tightly clenched palms were moist with sweat.
Zeon said to old Clexi.
“Then let’s go back now.”
“So then.”
Old Clexi answered with difficulty.
Zeon walked lightly, as if he were out for a walk. But the steps of those who followed him were as heavy as weights.
＊＊＊
Upon hearing the news of Old Man Clexi’s return, Yoo Se-hee ran out barefoot.
“grandfather!”
“Sehee!”
“are you okay?”
“I’m a little weak, but it’s okay.”
“ha! thank god.”
Yoo Se-hee breathed a sigh of relief.
“I’m sorry for making you worry.”
“Then why are you going into the dungeon? Dungeon raiding will be left to young people…”
“Ugh!”
“Anyway, do you think you won’t see me if you go into the dungeon again? all right?”
“I don’t want to go through that trouble either. “I will never have to go in myself again.”
“Did you promise?”
“I promise.”
“all right. “You must be tired, but I’ll call it a day.”
“thanks.”
Old Clexi smiled faintly.
Even if it wasn’t, I was on the verge of collapsing from exhaustion.
I didn’t know if I would faint if I listened to this nagging anymore.
It was then.
“I don’t know if I’m interfering with the aftermath of my grandson’s relationship.”
An unfamiliar voice stimulated old Clexi’s eardrums.
For a moment, old Clexi’s eyes turned cold.
This is because he sensed the identity of the owner of the voice.
“Tajik?”
“Long time no see.”
The man smiling and greeting Old Man Klexi was a Tajik.
Old Clexi’s expression hardened at his appearance.
“I’m glad you returned safely.”
“Thanks to you.”
“But I can’t see the Inazuma raid team. Did you go back to Neo Seoul first?”
“They couldn’t get out of the dungeon.”
“What do you mean?”
In an instant, the smile disappeared from Tajik’s face.
Old Klexi knew that the dry Tajik face was the real thing.
“Are you really saying that the Inazuma raiding party was wiped out?”
“Unfortunately, after letting this old man escape, he seems to have gotten lost in the dungeon. “I couldn’t get out in time.”
“Are you telling me to believe that?”
“What if that’s true?”
Old Man Clexi spoke calmly without changing his expression.
Tajik glared at Old Man Klexi with scary eyes. But the look in his eyes could not shake old Clexi.
“What about Xeon?”
“He went back home.”
“Are you saying you’re safe?”
“Without a single wound….”
“….”
Tajik pursed his lips.
Old Clexi smiled secretly.
‘It’s fun to see that guy’s embarrassment.’
But one had to distinguish between public and private life.
In any case, he was indebted to Tajik.
This debt had to be repaid.
Old Klexi said to Tajik:
“Give this magic stone to Xiao Lun. “It’s my reward for saving you.”
“….”
Old Man Klexi handed a magicite to Tajik.
It was one of the highest grade magic stones he kept. It was a magic stone that came from a boss-level demon beast and could not be found on the market.
Even at a glance, the black, glossy magic gemstone was unusual. However, Tajik did not even pay attention to such magic stones.
The way he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists showed how angry he was.
‘It’s worth it. ‘If it were the Inazuma attack force, it would have been the best force that could be used in the Tajik line.’
Although he is a confidant of Xiao Lun, the loser of southern Neo Seoul, there are limits to the troops he can command.
Xiaorun never concentrates his power on one person.
He holds on tightly to everything important and only throws the remaining crumbs to his henchmen.
The Inazuma Attack Team was the best Tajik could use.
It was natural for Tajik to be angry as such a top player disappeared in the blink of an eye.
‘It’s going to be crazy for a while.’
This was the best he could do.
Afterwards, no matter how Tajik came out or how Zeon responded, it was out of his hands.
Of course, I couldn’t just sit there and ignore it.
“Whoa!”
The heavy sigh that flowed out unconsciously represented his feelings.

“I’m here?”
When Zeon opened the door and came in, Brielle said without even turning her head.
Brielle’s face was pale, as if she had stayed up all night.
The eyes were red and bloodshot, and there were dark circles around them.
Zeon asked.
“Why are you doing that?”
“I failed…I did it.”
“huh?”
“I failed. “I stayed up all night concentrating…”
Brielle looked like she was about to cry.
While Zeon was away, I concentrated solely on alchemy.
All ingredients purchased from the goblin market were used.
The result was a huge failure.
I had used up all the ingredients I had purchased, and all that was left was extreme fatigue and helplessness.
“Hey!”
Tears welled up in Brielle’s eyes.
Zeon asked her.
“What on earth are you trying to make?”
I’ve been curious about this for a long time.
I asked her a few times in passing, but Brielle never told me what she was trying to make.
“Mana amplification potion.”
“Amplification potion?”
“huh! A drug that instantly increases mana capacity.”
“Isn’t that a drug?”
“It’s different from that.”
Brielle was furious.
She knew better than anyone else the harmful effects of drugs.
Because my body was damaged while making drugs.
The mana booster she makes took a cue from making drugs.
I hid it well at the time, but it was different now that I was free.
“Hey! What do we do? “I definitely want to make it.”
Brielle looked at Zeon.
Since I used up all the ingredients I bought last time, I had to buy them again. But I needed money to buy it again.
As of now, Xeon is the only place where money can be made, so they are paying close attention.
Zeon took out a jewel from his arms.
At that moment, Brielle’s eyes opened wide.
I found out that it was a magic stone.
It’s also very precious.
With something of that size and shine, it was clear that he had caught the boss.
“Magic stone?”
“Do you want it?”
“huh! huh!”
Brielle’s head was shaking up and down frantically.
“Then tell me. “What can you make with the wings of the queen ghost dragonfly?”
“Is that by any chance the magic stone of the queen’s ghost dragonfly?”
“that’s right!”
“But why the wings?”
“Don’t ask why. For your information, the queen ghost dragonfly was forcibly shed.”
“forcibly?”
Brielle frowned.
Forcing the Queen Ghost Dragonfly to shed her hair was easier said than done.
“This is only possible if you have an S-class tamer or an S-class item…”
“It’s already happened. So, don’t worry about whether it’s possible or not, just tell me what you can do with your wings.”
“There are many things you can do. First of all, since it is not affected by gravity, you can make flying items.”
“To what extent is it immune to gravity?”
“In theory, it could go up indefinitely.”
“Not affected by altitude at all?”
“huh! The wings of the queen ghost dragonfly would probably be able to fly hundreds of kilometers into the sky. But does it have any meaning?”
“why?”
“There are flying monsters in the sky. “There’s no way they would just leave something lifted by humans.”
“hmm!”
“I don’t know who did it, but when I saw it, it seemed like it was wasted.”
Zeon did not agree with Brielle’s opinion.
‘There is no way that someone who found a dungeon with two bosses and eliminated only the queen ghost dragonfly wouldn’t know that fact. It is clear that he is confident of neutralizing the flying-type demon beasts, or has prepared preparations to the extent that he does not mind being interfered with.’
It was all Zeon’s guess.
But Zeon thought his guess was correct.
Zeon said to Brielle.
“If you are the queen, please write down how I can use the wings of the queen ghost dragonfly and give it to me.”
“okay.”
“receive!”
Zeon handed the magic stone to Brielle.
A bright smile appeared on Brielle’s face.
“Aww!”
