Sand Mage of the Burnt Desert Chapter 131

Episode 131:

Zeon’s question was simple.

“Tell me about all the nests you know.”

“Fuck you! “You bastard.”

The scavenger was evil.

The sight of him shouting with the veins on his forehead was reminiscent of an evil spirit.

The look in Scavenger’s eyes, which did not break his spirit even after being seriously injured, was enough to make even Brielle feel intimidated.

But it didn’t work on Xeon.

“Do you really have to go through this trouble?”

“Do not be ridiculous! Who knows how to be scared? “Tsk!”

The scavenger spat out phlegm mixed with blood. However, Zeon simply created a flame and burned the spit in the air.

“Fuck you!”

Even though the last struggle was in vain, the Scavenger’s spirit did not break.

Zeon created flames in his hands.

“there’s nothing we can do. “I wasn’t going to use this method.”

“Kkkkkk! young! As for bluff….”

“You’ll soon find out whether it’s bluff or not. “Bite down hard.”

Zeon grabbed the scavenger’s wrist with the hand that created the flame.

Chi-ik!

The extremely high heat caused my flesh to burn and my muscles to melt.

The Scavenger gaped at the immense pain that no human could bear.

He tried to endure the pain somehow, but the burning pain was beyond what a human could endure.

“Kwaaah!”

In the end, the scavenger let out a desperate scream.

He struggled to escape Zeon’s grasp, but it was no use.

Xeon’s hand tightened the Scavenger’s arm with tremendous pressure, like a press.

The scavenger screamed, unable to bear the pain that was burning even to his bones.

“Off! I’ll tell you. “I said…”

Only then did Zeon take back the flames wrapped around his hands.

“So what about the nest?”

“The only nests I know of are this one and nest number 3. The location of nest number 3 is….”

Bang!

At that moment, the scavenger’s head exploded with a gunshot.

Zeon was covered in the scavenger’s blood without any time to avoid it.

“Xeon!”

Brielle shouted in surprise.

However, Zeon looked in the direction from which the gunfire was heard without any sign of panic.

Ta-ta-tang!

At that moment, gunshots rang out one after another.

Zeon clung to the wall of the passage while holding Brielle and dodged the bullets.

However, the bullets were not aimed at Zeon and Brielle.

It was the scavengers lying on the floor.

The scavengers’ bodies were torn apart by a barrage of merciless bullets.

It was truly terrifying power.

It was not an ordinary bullet.

Only a bullet that has been treated with magic can explode the hard body of an awakened person like tofu like that.

“Are you the Demon Musketeer?”

Xeon looked in the direction the bullet was coming from.

Ordinary bullets do not work on awakened people or demonic beasts.

This is because their bodies are strong enough to repel most physical attacks.

Because of this, guns were no longer developed and were abandoned. However, it was revived splendidly by enchanters.

Enchanters discovered how to strengthen guns and bullets with magic, and their power increased dramatically.

Although it did not work against large magical beasts, it showed great power against small species or low-level awakened ones.

Awakened people who used firearms made by enchanters were called demon musketeers.

The horse musketeers were specialized in handling firearms.

All of the scavengers who would tell Zeon the truth were killed by the Demon Musketeer’s merciless shooting.

“You’re trying to destroy the evidence.”

bang!

As if in response to his words, a particularly powerful gunshot rang out.

At that moment, Brielle stepped forward and spread her arms.

“shield!”

At that moment, a translucent film appeared in front of the two people and blocked the bullets.

The bullet was so powerful that the shield shattered like glass. However, the bullet was also broken by the shield and could not advance any further and fell to the ground.

At that time, Zeon flew towards where the bullet came from.

Brielle followed suit.

Ta-ta-tak!

I could feel the Demon Musketeer’s presence disappearing into the darkness.

Destroy all evidence and run away.

Zeon and Brielle pursued him at breakneck speed.

After passing through the dark passage, a large space appeared.

It was a space about ten meters square.

A space equipped with simple household items such as beds, sofas, chairs, and refrigerators.

It was a nest.

A man in a black military uniform was seen running away through the door on the other side of the nest.

Zeon and Brielle chased after the man without even having time to look at the nest.

They had almost reached the door through which the man had escaped.

Kwaaaaang!

A huge explosion occurred in the nest.

Just before being swept away by the explosion, Xeon jumped out at terrifying speed, holding Brielle.

I felt extremely high fever and a strong aftereffect behind my back.

If you are even a little late, you will be caught up in a firestorm.

Zeon gritted his teeth and increased his speed.

I saw a light ahead.

The exit leading to the outside was clear.

Without another thought, Zeon rushed out of the exit.

Pow!

Immediately after he got out, flames erupted through the exit.

Zeon, who narrowly escaped the flames, found the Demon Musketeer without even having time to take a breath.

Musketeer Ma was running away into a narrow alley.

Zeon said as he let go of Brielle.

“I’m going to track him down, so you follow me.”

“okay.”

Brielle answered right away.

Even if we went together, we couldn’t keep up with Zeon’s speed. It would have been better to take some time and follow along.

Zeon immediately started tracking.

As I increased my speed, I saw Ma Musketeer running away in the distance.

The Demon Musketeer must have noticed Zeon’s pursuit and fired a bullet.

bang! bang!

I fired the gun without even looking back, and the bullet flew right between Zeon’s eyes.

It was frighteningly accurate workmanship.

But the bullet was blocked by the fiery gauntlet.

Tea teating!

With the sound of metal, fragments of bullets flew out in all directions.

“Tch!”

When his attack did not work, Master Ma clicked his tongue.

A look of bewilderment was evident on his face as he ran away.

‘I never thought the nest would be robbed.’

His name is Jacob.

He was a scavenger and the caretaker of nest number 7.

As soon as he learned that other scavengers had been harmed by Zeon, he immediately set out to destroy the evidence.

Nests were destroyed and injured scavengers were removed. And as soon as he finished his mission, he ran away.

‘Fuck! ‘Where did such a monster come from?’

In an instant, a nest was robbed.

This was the first time something like this had happened.

This meant that the opponent was strong.

He is so strong that his attacks do not work at all.

I never expected to meet such an awakened person in the slums. So I was even more embarrassed.

‘Just go a little further.’

Scavengers always prepare an escape route.

The same was true for Jacob.

The secret he had prepared was the square where most people from the slums gathered.

‘Fuck! ‘I never thought I’d use this.’

What Jacob took out from his arms was a trigger device.

He hid the bomb in the basement of Dongdaemun Square.

It was a special item made for hunting large monsters.

The power is that much greater.

If the bomb explodes, everyone in the square will die. If that happens, the situation will escalate out of control.

His plan was to take advantage of the chaos and escape.

If the bomb exploded, many people would die, but there was nothing we could do.

Because survival was the priority.

Even at this moment, Zeon was frighteningly closing the distance.

The distance from him was only twenty meters.

It catches up in just two or three seconds.

There was no time to even hesitate.

This was when Jacob was about to press the trigger.

bang!

A tremendous shock hit Jacob.

“Ugh!”

He bounced like a bowling pin and landed on the floor.

Someone had attacked him unexpectedly.

Jacob couldn’t even scream because of the shock as if his entire body was being disintegrated.

At that time, the person who attacked Jacob opened his mouth.

“You traitorous bastard! “I finally found it.”

He was a black man wearing a black coat and sunglasses.

He had a sword on his back and was wearing a bulletproof vest inside his coat.

He had a machine gun mounted inside his coat and a pistol mounted on his thigh.

Jacob’s face distorted as he checked him.

“Le…even.”

“Nice to meet you, right? “Nice to meet you too.”

The man called Raven muttered, spitting on the floor.

Meanwhile, Zeon arrived.

Raven checked Zeon and held out her palm to stop him.

“That’s it. Little! “I’m taking this guy with me.”

“Are you claiming rights to a topic that has arbitrarily entered the middle?”

Zeon looked at Raven with a puzzled expression. Then Raven smiled, showing her white teeth.

“Kid! “Do you know who I am and are being picky about me?”

“So do you know who I am and are making such a fuss?”

“under! A slum awakened bastard who doesn’t even know the topic is talking freely. “It would be better to close it before it rips open its mouth.”

A bloody eye shined through the sunglasses.

Raven was no ordinary awakened person.

The unusual attire and the fierce look in his eyes proved that fact.

He continued.

“I will take this bastard away, so forget everything you saw and heard today. Then your life will be saved.”

“Looking at his clothes and equipment, he looks like he’s from Neo Seoul. Why are you taking him away?”

“You want to know why? “If you know, you should die.”

Raven chuckled.

It wasn’t that I looked down on Zeon.

That’s how confident he is in his abilities.

Jacob struggled to get up. But I couldn’t move because of the pain that felt like my whole body was being broken.

He muttered, coughing up blood.

“Ugh! “The hound cub from the eastern… district.”

For a moment, Raven’s eyes became fierce.

Because Jacob revealed the secret.

Zeon muttered after learning important information.

“It’s a hunting dog from the same district. “Then the author must also be related to that district.”

“Sigh! You’re a needlessly smart bastard. Yes, that’s right. That bastard is a fugitive. “He was in our area but escaped and became a scavenger.”

“Isn’t it possible that many of the scavengers, as well as the author, are escapees from the area?”

“under! “It’s ridiculous.”

Raven looked fed up.

I was really surprised by Zeon’s reasoning ability, which allowed him to infer this much from just the word “hound of the district.”

Zeon’s guess was true.

Many of the scavengers in question this time were from the same district.

Unlike the western zone, where mechanized awakeners are the mainstay, the eastern zone is dominated by combat specialists under the command of an absolute figure named Sedden Price.

This section was made up of descendants of American soldiers and students stationed in Korea.

As the descendants of former soldiers form the main group, they use a mixture of various weapons, magic, and powerful physical abilities.

The awakened people in this area were not simply awakened people, but trained soldiers.

They are absolutely loyal to their ruler, Sedden Price, and carry out his orders without error like precision machines.

As a result, forced discipline and an oppressive atmosphere prevailed in the district.

Those who rebelled against the atmosphere in the district and left were the leaders of the scavengers.

They secretly built a nest and supported the activities of existing scavengers.

Up until this point, it wasn’t a big problem.

In any case, because it happened in secret, it did not tarnish Sedden Price’s reputation.

The problem began when the scavengers were armed with items from the White Bear Caravan.

As the scavengers gained confidence, their looting activities became active, and the area was on fire.

If by mistake it became known that the leader of the scavengers was a high-ranking awakened person who had defected from the area, it would be a disgrace to Seddon Price. So Sedden Price unleashed hunters like Raven.

Their mission is only one.

The goal is to eliminate the main axes of scavengers who have left the area.

Raven said, pulling out the gun she was wearing on her thigh.

“I told you, if you find out why I appeared, you will die.”
