Sand Mage of the Burnt Desert Chapter 334

Episode 334

The person who responded to Zeon’s appearance was a man who appeared to be in his mid-forties.

A muscular man well over five meters tall, with an angular face covered in beards, beaky eyes like those of a demonic beast, and a blunt nose.

A huge amount of black hair extending in all directions like a lion’s mane…

I could feel the tremendous force of the man wearing one-piece armor full of pitch-black scales…

His strength was so overwhelming that Zeon’s face was distorted. However, what really surprised Zeon was not the man’s size and strength, which were over five meters tall.

This was because there was a being sprawled out in front of the man with its limbs spread wide as if it had been dissected.

A terrible aura of death was felt in the man with pale skin without any blood and a turquoise crown on his head.

Even though he was clearly dead

The dead man’s eyes were full of disbelief.

Until the end, he looked like he couldn’t believe his own death.

Zeon instinctively knew that this was the person he was looking for.

“Necromancer?”

“okay! “He is a necromancer. His name in Kurayan was Pilgram.”

The person who answered was a giant over five meters tall…

Zeon looked at the giant…

The giant also looked at the human who had arbitrarily entered Pilgram’s residence as if he were interested.

According to his calculations, it would have taken more than 10 hours for humans to get here… and that was at the cost of more than 2,000 people. However, since humans appeared more than 10 hours short of his expectations, he couldn’t help but become interested.

The man said·

“Wait a minute · I have to make sure I deal with this guy first · Otherwise he will keep living like a cockroach ·”

Kwasik!

He plunged his forearm into Pilgram’s chest…

Every time, Pilgram’s body jumped like a fish.

The man who searched inside Pilgram’s heart for a long time finally smiled…

“I found it!”

What he took out from Pilgram’s chest was a piece of purple jewel the size of a little fingernail.

The moment Zeon saw the jewel, he felt his heart sink.

The ominous waves flowing from the unidentified jewel stimulated Zeon’s heart.

Even the highest level magic stones or items could not give Xeon this feeling.

It felt like I was seeing something that shouldn’t exist in this world…

Zeon asked as he felt the blood in his entire body turn cold.

“What is that?”

“It’s better not to be curious, because humans are something we can’t handle.”

“So what is it?”

“Do you want to know?”

“yes!”

“I’m sorry, but this is something that humans are not even allowed to know.”

“That means you’re admitting that you’re not human.”

“okay! “I am not human, as you have already guessed.”

The man straightened his back…

As a muscular figure over five meters tall moved, a huge energy filled the underground space.

The owner of the space, which originally belonged to a necromancer named Pilgram, seemed to have changed to a man.

He was a necromancer who single-handedly summoned an infinite number of zombies, ghostly dogs, specters, and Dullahan.

The necromancer’s abilities were so great that he even created monsters called Bone Drake and Bone Hydra.

It was a place that such a person made his territory.

Basically, the domain has the effect of multiplying the owner’s abilities.

This is because everything is arranged according to the owner’s inclination and ability. Such an atmosphere is never easily changed.

Even after the owner dies…

As such, this place had to definitely smell like Pilgram… But the moment the man straightened his back, everything in the area came under his control…

They quickly stole someone else’s territory and made it their own.

Pilgram, who turned into a corpse, disappeared completely at some point, leaving no ashes behind.

If this happens, even the necromancer who refuses death will never be able to be resurrected.

No demon beast that Zeon has ever seen has shown such a ridiculous feat…

Even Leviathan…

So, it meant that the opponent in front of Zeon was stronger than Leviathan…

Zeon looked intently at the man.

“Are you a dragon?”

“It was a dragon…”

The man neither admitted nor denied it…

Zeon’s eyes sank deeply…

There is no one who knows better than him the weight and intimidation of the name dragon.

This is because it was Zeon who fought the dragon until the end with Deioden.

At that time, the subject of the fight was Deioden, and Zeon only played a supporting role, but he was clearly aware of the dragon’s strength.

The man in front of Zeon now was a being comparable to that dragon back then, and perhaps even greater…

The goosebumps on Zeon’s skin that had risen earlier and had not subsided were proving that fact.

‘At this level, it would be stronger than Higheltoon…’

The dragon that Deioden sacrificed his life to hunt was Higheltun.

The man in front of Zeon right now was much stronger than him…

If this man decides to go on a rampage, the awakened people who came here will be annihilated…

Zeon was nervous and secretly raised his dominance.

The man seemed to have noticed that too and laughed…

“It seems like my presence here is a burden, Sand Wizard!”

“Do you know me?”

“There’s no way you don’t know… This isn’t a good place to talk, so let’s move on first.”

Perfect!

The man snapped his fingers·

For a moment, Zeon felt a dizzying sense of floating.

At the same time, the surrounding scenery changed dramatically, as if the photos were quickly blended together.

Xeon knew what this feeling meant…

‘Is it this easy to move through space?’

When I came to my senses, I saw that Zeon was high up in the sky.

The distant scenery of the earth was visible beneath his feet.

If Zeon didn’t have the ability to create sand and float in the air, he would have been very embarrassed.

―Beep?

At that moment, I hear Gaia’s voice in my heart…

Sensing Zeon’s crisis, Gaia is about to come out.

‘Stay still, Gaia!’

Zeon stopped Gaia…

The opponent was a monster whose power was unknown. If you hastily unleashed Gaia in front of such a monster, you never know what would happen.

In the worst case, that monster could be greedy for Gaia…

Gaia was such a rare being…

Zeon knew very well how greedy dragons were.

The moment you see Gaia, that monster will definitely reach out with its magical arms…

‘Did you throw away the dragon’s body?’

The man a moment ago was a dragon, he said in the past tense ·

His words will not be lies…

Because dragons don’t like to tell lies…

C’mon!

Every time the man moved his body, the black scale armor moved as if it were alive.

‘It’s not armor, it’s your own scales?’

Otherwise, I couldn’t explain that sense of unity…

The man said·

“Here, you can talk comfortably without worrying about the well-being of other humans.”

“I guess so…”

Xeon nodded his head ·

Zeon didn’t know exactly what the coordinates of this place were… But he did know that it was a long way away from where the Magic Stone Fanatic was.

At least the man’s attack won’t affect the humans near the magicite mine…

In that case, Zeon was able to talk with the other person with a little more peace of mind.

Zeon, having gathered his thoughts, opened his mouth ·

“That’s amazing…”

“What’s surprising? That I was a dragon? Or the one that killed Pilgram?”

“The fact that you moved…”

“Is that so? “I guess you’ve seen dragons other than me… Well, my species is a bit lazy… I’m a bit special…”

“That jewel must have moved you…”

“Why do you think that?”

“Otherwise, there would be no need for you to hunt a necromancer like Pilgram.”

No matter how strong a necromancer is, in the end, he is only a necromancer.

No matter how many S-class demon beasts you create like Bone Drake or Bone Hydra, they are still demon beasts in the end.

From the dragon’s point of view, the necromancer and the demonic beasts he created were nothing more than claws.

A dragon goes out of his way to kill such a being?

It doesn’t make sense…

At least according to Xeon’s common sense…

It had to be something worthwhile enough for the dragon to step forward in person.

The jewel that Pilgram held…

There was a high possibility that the jewel made the dragon move.

The problem was the identity of the jewel that directly moved the heavy-assed dragon.

The man smiled·

“As expected, you are special…”

“What do you mean?”

“It means knowing how to see through the essence… It is as special as that heterogeneous ability…”

“Are my abilities foreign?”

“At least it’s not common… Sand wizards didn’t exist in Kurayan either…”

“Was there no desert there?”

“There was… But no one cared… Because Kurayan was a rich place, and there was no need to worry about the ability to control sand…”

“It was a nice place…”

“okay! No one would have expected that an ability that no one paid much attention to would be so useful… not even he…”

“that?”

Zeon’s eyebrows twitched…

The Dragon Man expressed his respect by mentioning him, albeit only momentarily.

There was only one being for the dragon to show respect to…

“You mean Crasias…”

“As expected, you knew…”

“Because you can’t not know…”

“It’s fun! It’s really fun! “To be a human being who knows that I was a dragon, yet remains calm, and who doesn’t even dare to be weighed down by the name Krasias… hahaha!”

The man burst into laughter…

At the sound of his laughter, the clouds in the area were pushed away and scattered as if swept by waves.

It was truly a formidable power…

Zeon remained calm despite his laughter.

“As for Crasias, isn’t he already dead? “Do I have any reason to be afraid of dead beings?”

“Do you really think so?”

“What do you mean?”

“Do you really think Crasias is dead?”

“Didn’t you die by disintegrating into particles as a reward for terraforming the Earth?”

“It actually disappeared like that…”

“It sounds like that might not be the case…”

“Think about that as you wish…”

Zeon’s expression hardened at the man’s answer.

Because it was clear that if his guess was true, there would be very dire consequences.

The man looked down at his feet and said ·

“This conversation has gone on too long… I guess I should test your strength before I go…”

“Before that, I’d like to know your name…”

“Heh! Arrogant bastard. My name is Nigel.”

Pak!

At that moment, the scales covering Nigel’s whole body spread wide, revealing his true nature.

It was a wing…

A pair of wings so large they seem to cover the world.

The scale-covered body hidden within was revealed…

Looking at it like this, I know for sure…

Nigel is not human…

It’s not even a dragon…

Between a dragon and a human

It’s a half-demon dragon…

The strongest being born on its own by taking only the strengths of dragons and humans,

He said to Zeon·

“Try to survive, sand wizard!”
