Sand Mage of the Burnt Desert Chapter 211

Episode 211:

On top of a huge mountain of sand, about a dozen people wearing camouflage robes the same color as the sand were lying face down.

From where they were, they could clearly see the sight of Xeon and Orcs clashing.

The eyes of those wearing camouflage robes were shaking.

“What is that?”

“What did I see?”

A look of disbelief was evident on their faces as they looked up.

They arrived here five minutes ago.

Zeon was about to clash with the orcs.

At first they laughed at Xeon.

The sight of him walking alone towards a group of orcs without fear seemed like reckless courage.

A person who cannot commit suicide or a young chick who does not know how scary orcs are.

They expected that Zeon would be torn apart by the Orc riders in an instant.

Just like many elves and dwarves did.

But what they imagined didn’t happen.

Suddenly, a sandstorm blew in, engulfing the orcs and pulverizing them in an instant.

It was a sight I had never seen before.

I never even thought something like this would be possible.

At first, I thought it happened naturally.

The occasional desert storm is so strong that it blows away everything in an instant. However, it was impossible to destroy a living creature like this without leaving a single trace.

At least that was according to their common sense.

The impossible happened right before my eyes.

I knew it instinctively even without anyone telling me.

The person who brought about the sandstorm that destroyed all the orcs was the man who stepped forward without fear.

‘That’s what a person did?’

‘What on earth is an awakening skill?’

There was fear in their eyes as they looked at Zeon.

With that skill that destroyed the orcs without a trace, they too could disappear from this world without leaving a trace.

Among those lying face down on the sandy mountain, the slim one and the fat one had a quiet conversation.

“What do we do? Shall we contact you?”

“Contact with humans? “The elders will not tolerate it.”

“Then shall we withdraw like this?”

“The orc riders are gone, so let’s retreat.”

The two people gestured towards the group to indicate withdrawal. Then, those lying face down on the sandy mountain carefully stepped back.

I could never see this place from where Zeon was, but I still had to be careful.

They came down the sandy mountain carefully.

At the foot of the sandy mountain, about a dozen Bactrian camels were waiting for them.

They left the Sand Mountain immediately on Bactrian camels.

“Hey!”

“Chaaa!”

They kicked the side of the Bactrian camel. Then the Bactrian camel ran through the desert at a faster speed.

The person driving the Bactrian camel at the head of the group muttered.

“I never thought there would be someone like that among humans.”

The scene I had just seen was still vivid in my mind.

The more I thought about it, the scarier it was.

“Handling sand. Could it be that he is a sand wizard… is that so?”

“There is no way there is a sand wizard. “I guess they used a different skill to achieve a similar effect.”

A fat man running next to me spoke bluntly.

“But we saw it with our own eyes.”

“Humans are inherently cunning and good at deception. Surely that man would too. “It makes no sense to be a sand wizard…”

The fat one vehemently denied the thin one’s opinion. The thin man could no longer say anything.

After riding a Bactrian camel for almost half a day, we arrived at a place in the middle of a desert with nothing in sight.

It was a place without any objects that could be used as landmarks.

This was their destination.

After confirming that no one was around, the slender person cautiously stepped forward.

“The invisible light, the curtain of hallucination, the door that cannot be opened, the water that flows up. “O door of truth hidden by deception, show me your true face.”

At that moment, a blue light exploded in front of him.

The line of light soared through the air, creating a magic circle.

When the magic circle was finally completed, a large door appeared in front of it.

The group entered the gate with a Bactrian camel in tow.

Immediately after they entered, the door closed and the scene returned to its original state as if something had happened.

Immediately after entering the door, they took off their camouflage robe hats.

Then the true face is revealed.

Golden hair, pointed ears, and tanned skin.

They were desert elves.

Iman, who was particularly fat, was of a different race.

He has a stocky body and a rich beard that covers his protruding belly and chest.

The man was a dwarf.

They were a different race that came to Earth from Kurayan along with the elves.

The dwarf grumbled, shaking off the dust from his shoulders.

“Damn it! I heard it gets dirty like this when you go out. Isn’t reconnaissance only for you nerds? “I don’t know why they’re dragging me away.”

“It’s an order from the elders, so we can’t do anything about it. “Let’s stop complaining and report what we saw to the elders.”

“joy! Even if you don’t do that, it’s true. “If we don’t speak up quickly and take action, our village will be in danger.”

The dwarf snorted and walked away.

His face was full of dissatisfaction, but he still had to report it.

Because that was their mission.

There was a huge village in front of them.

The appearance of the square almost resembled a steel fortress.

Numerous houses were lined up along the road.

The only difference is that this place is not underground, but on the sand under the hot sun.

Another thing is that the people who live here are not human.

Most of them were elves, but occasionally dwarves were seen.

This was a village created jointly by desert elves and dwarves.

Dwarves built a village in the middle of the desert, and elves joined forces to spread a protective magic circle to protect it.

The protective magic circle contained the functions of hallucination, hiding, and protection.

From the outside, instead of a village, all you see is endless sand. Also, if someone got close to you, your senses would be disturbed, and you would wander around and naturally end up on the other side of the village.

Thanks to this, the village has been able to survive for the past hundred years without being discovered by anyone.

The protective magic circle will not be broken unless a huge impact is applied from the outside. Thanks to this magic circle, elves and dwarves were able to maintain their purity.

The village was run by an agreement between six elf and dwarf elders.

Elders were gathered in the largest house the two were heading to.

There were four old elves and two dwarves.

“I’m home.”

“okay! What happened to the orcs? “Is this the correct direction of advance?”

As soon as I could say hello, the old female elf pressed me and asked.

The elf who had been scouting answered calmly.

“Right now, it is difficult to judge because the orcs have stopped advancing.”

“The advance has stopped? why?”

“I don’t know why, but it’s stopped a hundred kilometers from here.”

“That’s a good thing.”

The old elf wiped the sweat from his forehead and sighed in relief.

The magic circle that protects the village is not invincible.

You can fool the eyes of ordinary humans and demon beasts, but you cannot fool living creatures with particularly sensitive senses.

Orcs were like that.

He is ignorant and belligerent, but his senses are extremely sensitive, so he quickly notices anything foreign. So when the orc warlord was born and the orcs were united, the village was put on alert.

This is because if orcs pass by this area, they may notice the existence of the village.

There was nothing to be afraid of if it was a small group of orcs. However, it was a large army led by an Orc warlord.

If they attack, the protective magic circle will be instantly broken and all the elves and dwarves in the village will be wiped out.

Because of that, they sent a scouting party to monitor the movements of the Orcs.

“But…”

“Why are you doing that?”

“I saw a strange sight on my way back.”

“huh?”

“Hundreds of Orc riders hurriedly followed and found them fighting against human awakeners. But that man was manipulating the sand as he pleased.”

Then the dwarf who went out scouting together quickly spoke.

“It is clear that the man was deceived. “It makes no sense to be an awakened person who wields sand.”

“But he…”

“There were no sand wizards in Qurayan either. But there is no way that a mere human could have the power to manipulate sand.”

The dwarfs who had gone out to scout reacted violently to the elves’ opinions.

The elders frowned and listened to the dwarf.

After a while they opened their mouths.

“So, it is true that the Orc riders were wiped out by humans.”

“That’s right.”

“What a strong human being.”

The elders looked at each other with cautious expressions.

The six of them have ruled this village for a long time.

To them, humans were unreliable beings.

“What are the odds of humans coming here?”

“Nothing can be guaranteed at this time.”

The elf who was out scouting answered cautiously.

“Seina! I’m disappointed. “Your mission is to identify any threats to the village.”

The old elf looked at the elf who had gone scouting with a disappointed expression.

The name of the elf who went out to scout was Seina.

At that time, the dwarf who went scouting together opened his mouth.

“It’s clear that those humans are quite strong. So why not use it instead?”

“Deloru! Do you have any good ideas?”

“We are luring humans to where the orc group is.”

“Are we going to make them attack each other?”

“That’s right. Then they will fight among themselves and be destroyed together, and our village will be safe.”

“Good idea.”

The elders’ eyes shone sharply.

They shared their opinions in low voices so that Seina and Deloru could not hear.

Seina bit her lip as she looked at them.

‘no! No matter how human you are, you can’t use them like that…’

But Seina couldn’t tell her true feelings.

Here, the authority of the elders was absolute.

Thanks to them, the village was still able to survive, so they couldn’t even imagine rebelling.

Finally the elders made a decision.

“good night! “Let the two of you handle this on your own.”

“Do not worry.”

“However, keep in mind that no matter what happens, this village must never be harmed.”

“of course. “I will do my best to ensure that no harm is done to the village.”

Deloru pounded his chest and boasted.

The elders looked at Deloru with satisfied expressions.

“I will only trust you.”

＊＊＊

The moment the sun sets, the heated sand cools rapidly and the temperature drops to an incredible degree.

If you wore only thin clothes because it was hot during the day, you were likely to freeze to death at night. In fact, many people died like that.

However, it was of no concern to Zeon and his party.

Zeon moved the sand and dug a hole big enough for four people.

Once the four men entered the pit, the sand was moved again to block the top. A sturdy shelter was created in an instant.

“No matter how you look at it, it’s a scam.”

Elroy shook his head.

She recalled the sight of Zeon pulverizing countless Orc riders into a sand storm.

That alone gave me goosebumps on my forearms.

I still haven’t forgotten that scene.

It was to the point where I doubted whether it was truly human ability.

‘Is there really a human enemy in the desert?’

Elroy thought not.

I couldn’t imagine the sight of Zeon kneeling before someone in the desert.

‘What will happen if this person harbors ill will towards Neo Seoul?’

Burrr!

Just imagining it made me sick and tired.

Elroy looked at Zeon, hugging the crazy nine-tailed fox deeply without realizing it.

‘I can only hope that this person does not become hostile toward Neo Seoul and humanity…’
