Sand Mage of the Burnt Desert Chapter 122

Episode 122

Eaton gathered the awakened people.

Most of them were E-class and had little use in actual battles. However, it was sufficient for the purpose of assortment.

As long as there was a powerful being called Zeon, there was no need for other awakened people. However, in order to show off his power to the White Bear Caravan, he had to accompany him.

Twenty awakened people were summoned like that.

Adding Eton and Xeon Brielle, the number became twenty-three.

They left the slums and headed to the White Bear Caravan. But they were not the only ones heading to the White Bear Caravan.

“It’s the Dongdaemun guys.”

“uh? “I see.”

People murmured as they spotted the group heading towards the White Bear Caravan in the distance.

Many men wearing shiny heavy armor were walking with a flag with a cross drawn on it.

In Neo Seoul, there was only one group displaying a cross.

It was Dongdaemun, where John was the head.

Ethan’s eyes lit up.

“Did John come out too?”

“John is not visible. ah! “I can see Brixton.”

Ethan’s eyes trembled at his subordinate’s answer.

“Brixton? “There’s that berserker?”

“The guy holding that sledgehammer must be Brixton.”

“Fuck! Isn’t John crazy? Send such a crazy dog in this place. ”

Ethan looked horrified.

Seeing Eaton’s reaction, Zeon looked at Brixton.

It has an enormous size that exceeds that of an ordinary person, heavy armor to match, and a large hammer that can instantly destroy the heads of quite a few magical beasts.

It was so daunting that just looking at it made my stomach tingle.

The man’s name is Brixton.

It wasn’t for nothing that he was called a berserker.

If he went on a rampage with that big hammer, there would be no one to stop him.

He was a fanatic of John.

I was prepared to jump into hell if it was John’s command.

However, he was so simple and ignorant that he was not suited to carry out complex orders.

At that time, a woman walking alongside Brixton came into Zeon’s field of vision.

Unusually, the woman walking on the sand wearing a nun’s uniform was someone Zeon knew well.

‘Kim Jae-kyung!’

She was John’s confidant and a woman with brainwashing abilities.

It was not normal for her to come in person.

It was then.

Kim Jae-kyung also looked surprised, as if he recognized Jeon.

It was not unreasonable to be surprised since he already had a record of almost being defeated by Zeon.

She was talking to Brixton about something.

Next, Brixton glared at Xeon.

There was an eerie madness in his gaze as he glared at Zeon.

Brixton led his men toward the group of Xeons.

Brixton finally arrived in front of Zeon and opened his mouth.

“Are you Xeon?”

“So is this Brixton?”

“Yes. “John’s right hand man, Brixton, is this body.”

Brixton responded, pounding his chest.

Zeon asked with a grin.

“I’m not here just to say hello. What’s your business?”

“I came to warn you.”

“warning?”

“Yes. Transactions with White Bear Caravan will be monopolized by Dongdaemun. “You and Sinchon will never get another chance, so it would be better to go back now.”

“Are you saying that White Bear Caravan will have a monopoly on Dongdaemun?”

“joy! Even if you don’t like it, it will happen. “We will make sure that happens.”

“If that really happens, I’ll step away cleanly.”

“Did you promise?”

“yes!”

“good night. I believe your promise and leave now. It would be best to keep your promise. Otherwise, I will smash your head to pieces with this hammer.”

Brixton swung the hammer on his shoulder in the air as if to show off his strength and then turned.

“That arrogant bastard.”

Eaton belatedly burst into anger.

Brielle smiled at the sight of Eaton backing away.

‘This guy is also secretly a coward.’

It wasn’t that I didn’t understand.

Not just Eaton, but any awakened person would have no choice but to be scared in front of Brixton’s imposing appearance.

The nonchalant Zeon was strange, not Eaton.

Zeon seemed to have forgotten Brixton’s warning and was walking calmly.

Zeon finally arrived at the fortress built by the White Bear Caravan and let out an exclamation.

“There was also a way to use the luggage truck like this. “It looks like you’ve been thinking a lot.”

“I’m sure this would be good for sleeping in the desert. “Aren’t quite a few demonic beasts not even going to be able to approach?”

Brielle agreed with Zeon’s thoughts.

Eaton shared his thoughts.

“It doesn’t seem like an ordinary vehicle. “I think it’s fortified with very special ingredients.”

“I guess so.”

You can never cross the desert with an ordinary vehicle.

It was clear that the car body had been reinforced or strengthened with special materials. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain the absence of a single scratch on the surface.

It was then.

“Where are you from?”

The awakened man guarding the entrance to the fortress approached Zeon and his party.

Zeon winked at Eaton and he stepped forward.

“This is Eaton from Sinchon. “I’m here to do business with your caravan.”

“Eton of Sinchon? Confirmed. “You may come in.”

It seemed that White Bear Caravan had already figured out Neo Seoul’s power structure.

Thanks to this, Zeon and Brielle were able to enter the fortress comfortably with Eaton at the head.

The inside of the fortress was much larger than it looked from the outside.

As expected, it was a fortress built using as many as 50 large vehicles. It was so wide and tall that one small building in the slum could fit into it.

At that time, an awakened member of the White Bear Caravan approached Eaton and his group.

“Are you from Eaton’s group?”

“Yes, but.”

“My name is Sergei from White Bear Caravan. “I will guide you.”

“Ah yes!”

Ethan tilted his head.

I thought that since I was in the caravan, I could just pick out the items and buy them. Do I really need someone to guide me?

Sergei smiled and said, as if he had read Eaton’s thoughts.

“All the items we brought were acquired by the awakened people of Akutsk, risking their lives. There are corpses of demonic beasts and items from dungeons. For convenience, we divided all items into five levels and placed them.”

“How are the grades divided?”

“The corpses of demonic beasts and unique materials are grade D and placed on the first floor, and unusual materials excavated from the dungeon are grade C and displayed on this floor. On the third floor, there are magic stones extracted from dungeon bosses and items made in Akutsk Colony and other colonies. On the fourth floor are the items excavated from the dungeon, and finally, on the fifth floor…”

“Why aren’t you telling me?”

“I’m sorry, but the items on the fifth floor cannot be revealed for auction later.”

“Auction? “What kind of thing is it?”

Eaton asked, but Sergei did not answer.

Sergei took the group to a vehicle on the first floor.

“Wow!”

As soon as she got into the car, Brielle let out an exclamation.

It wasn’t because of the items on display on the first floor.

I was surprised by the vehicle itself.

As Zeon looked, Brielle whispered secretly.

“There are multiple magic circles drawn on the car.”

“Multiple magic circles?”

“huh! “It’s made by layering several magic circles, and it’s very elaborate.”

“Can you tell what purpose the magic circle is for?”

“It’s impossible at my current level.”

Brielle made a sullen expression.

I don’t know whose work it was, but the magic circle spread across fifty vehicles was so high-level that I couldn’t understand it at all.

It was clear that this was done by a magic awakener of a much higher level than Brielle.

“are you okay! “Multiple magic circles aren’t important anyway.”

“Still…”

“Just worry about whether you have what you need. “Maybe even if you have money, you might not be able to buy it.”

“right!”

Only then did Brielle come to her senses.

People from Dongdaemun were already in. I didn’t know how many more people would come in the future.

If there was competition, the auction could start from the first floor items.

“I need to come to my senses.”

Brielle strengthened her fighting spirit by slapping her cheeks with both palms.

Zeon chuckled and looked up to the fifth floor.

Suddenly his face stiffened slightly.

This is because a fairly strong energy was felt from the fifth floor.

The energy was strong enough to break through even though it must have been sealed with a magic circle or barrier.

This was proof that the items stored on the fifth floor were amazing.

Xeon was the first item to emit such powerful energy.

‘What kind of stuff did you bring to make it this much?’

Among awakeners of the same level, naturally those with good items have an advantage.

The higher the grade, the larger the difference becomes.

You don’t necessarily have to have good items to win, but it still doesn’t change the fact that you can have a slightly more advantageous position.

Because of this, the higher the level of Awakening, the more they risk their lives to obtain better items.

That’s why Neo Seoul’s workshops are doing well.

Items created with each workshop’s unique vision make awakened people much stronger.

For that reason, awakened people line up in famous workshops. However, there are some items that even the workshop’s technology cannot match.

These are items that are occasionally unearthed in dungeons.

The items, which are themselves the core of the dungeon, boast such incredible power that even Neo Seoul’s technology cannot match them.

In particular, items discovered in high-risk dungeons have greater power.

However, it is said that there are very few cases where the item is unearthed in intact condition, so there are not many people who actually own it.

If the items on the fifth floor were really items excavated from the dungeon, the competition would be no joke.

‘Maybe Neo Seoul will be turned upside down because of that item…’

That was the time.

bang!

Suddenly, a loud bang erupted from the other side of the first floor.

It was the moment that everyone looked at with puzzlement.

“How dare this crazy bitch use brainwashing skills?”

“Shit!”

“I got caught. Screw everyone.”

Suddenly people started to get mixed up and fight.

The Dongdaemun Awakenings, who arrived at a similar time as Zeon’s group, collided with the White Bear Caravan Awakenings.

Brixton, who had started a fight with Zeon and his group, wielded a huge hammer to protect Kim Jae-kyung.

A look of disappointment was evident on Kim Jae-kyung’s face.

Zeon immediately understood what was going on.

‘It looks like that woman tried to use her brainwashing skills again and failed.’

Jaekyung Kim also used brainwashing skills on Zeon. Fortunately, Xeon’s mental barrier was strong and he failed, but it would have been quite dangerous if he had succeeded.

Brainwashing skills were not omnipotent.

It does not work on those who have a strong mental barrier or possess items that protect their mind.

That seems to have been the case this time too.

A necklace emitting blue light was hung around the neck of the awakened person who screamed. Perhaps the necklace protected the awakened from the brainwashing skill.

Thanks to this, it was revealed that Kim Jae-kyung tried to use brainwashing skills, and the angry White Bear Caravan awakeners attacked.

“Who do these foolish things dare to fearlessly attack?”

Brixton protected Kim Jae-kyung and blocked the attacks of the White Bear Caravan awakeners with his whole body.

Kwakwakwak!

The thick heavy armor perfectly protected Brixton even under fire from various skills.

His heavy armor is also a specially designed item and boasts strong defense against various physical attacks.

“Hehe! It doesn’t even tickle. Is this it? In that case, it would be better to take it by force.”

Brixton’s eyes flashed with madness.

The original plan was for Kim Jae-kyung to brainwash the person in charge into handing over the goods to Dongdaemun at a low price. However, after fighting it myself, I gained confidence that I could take it by force.

Kim Jae-kyung spoke urgently.

“We have to get out quickly.”

“noisy. Who are you giving orders to when you fail? From now on, I will take command.”

“You crazy bear cub. “Now is the time to get out and take care of the situation.”

“I don’t listen to orders from losers.”

Brixton and his subordinates went even crazier.

It was a moment when it seemed like no one would dare stop Brixton’s rampage.

“That’s it. You fanatic!”

A man as large as Brixton threw a punch.

It was Alexandro, the owner of the White Bear Caravan.
