Sand Mage of the Burnt Desert Chapter 341

Episode 341

John was on his knees praying in front of a huge cross.

“Please grant blessings to all people, and please make this land shine with your glory.”

A bright cloud of light fell behind him, making him look sacred.

John continued to recite a prayer while holding the small cross around his neck.

He prayed so hard that his whole body was drenched in sweat.

In the back, believers looked at John with crazy eyes.

‘I can’t believe you prayed so passionately for us…’

‘John is the savior sent to us by God…’

‘I am willing to sacrifice my life for John…’

To them, John was not just a religious leader.

He was like a savior, the only one you could trust and rely on.

It was an extremely honorable thing for believers to sacrifice their lives for John.

For the past few months, John has been confined to church and praying.

Normally he would never have prayed this long…

There were a lot of problems in Dongdaemun, and it was Yohan’s job to deal with them all and make decisions.

However, everything changed a few months ago after receiving a warning from Neo Seoul, or more specifically, City Hall.

I don’t know what kind of secret agreement there was between Zeon and the city hall, but the city hall has warned Johan…

It was a warning not to interfere in any way with Zeon’s activities.

It was dumbfounded at first…

This is because it was the first time that the city hall sent a warning after John built the temple in Dongdaemun.

The next emotion that came was anger.

It is unbearably difficult for a human being to dare to command oneself, the savior.

Next to anger was acceptance.

Realistically, it has been accepted that it is impossible to disobey orders from city hall.

After that, John went to church and prayed.

It is about releasing the anger deep inside your heart through prayer.

“Lord! “Please show the way to the lost lamb.”

It was then…

As if in answer to his prayers, an intense light emanated from the cross hanging on the wall.

The people in the church were startled by the sudden blinding light.

“Oh! God answered…

“God gave an answer to John’s prayer.”

People fell to their knees and shed tears at the sudden miracle that occurred before their eyes.

John was equally surprised…

Even he did not expect that light would flow from the cross at this moment.

He looked at the cross with a more sincere expression.

Even at that moment, the light emanating from the cross became more intense.

It was as if the sun had risen inside the church, so bright that he could not open his eyes. But John opened his eyes and stared at the light emanating from the cross.

Someone’s voice was heard in John’s ears…

John didn’t know if it was really God’s voice or someone else’s voice. He just listened.

After a while, the light disappeared as if it were a lie, and John got up.

Everyone’s eyes were focused on Yohan.

John lifted up the cross and said loudly:

“God spoke to me today…”

“Oh!”

“He will take pity on you who are suffering on earth and send his saint.”

“A saint?”

“Are you saying there will be a saint in our church?”

People shed tears and rejoiced

John commanded them…

“The saint has already come to this land, so you should hurry and come here to find her. Her church, which is seen with her saint, will greatly prosper.”

“I receive the command of the Savior…”

“I follow John’s orders…”

The voices of fanatics echoed in the church…

It was the moment when Dongdaemun, which had been holding its breath for a long time, finally resumed its movement.

＊＊＊

Thump thump!

Zeon opened his eyes in the morning to the sound of a knock on the door.

I didn’t feel like I was popular in the house.

Only then did Zeon remember that he had sent Brielle and Levin to the desert with Zetoya a few days ago.

“Whoa!”

I had no choice but to open the door myself.

After putting on some clothes, I opened the door and saw Mandy.

“What are you doing this morning?”

“I came here because I have something to tell you.”

“Is it urgent?”

“It has something to do with you…”

“after! “Please come in.”

Zeon had no choice but to let Mandy into the house.

Mandy looked around the house for a moment and her eyes lit up.

This is because there was a map hanging on the wall in the living room of Zeon’s house.

It was a map of Neo Seoul.

Red markers were placed all over the map, and blue threads connected each dot.

Mandy asked Zeon·

“Where did you get that map again? “What are those dots?”

“Are you here to question me?”

“Achacha! That’s not it, I really came because I had something to tell you. Do you know Dongdaemun?”

“yes!”

Of course you can’t know…

Because there was a group of fanatics threatening Sinchon in Dongdaemun…

“The movement of Dongdaemun is unusual…”

“What do you mean?”

“I don’t know the details, but their movements suddenly became more active three days ago.”

“How do you mean?”

“They’re sending church members out in all directions, probably looking for something.”

“is it so?”

“The important thing is that the word ‘temple’ came out of the mouths of the church members.”

“It’s a temple…”

“You know? The meaning of the temple in the church…”

Zeon frowned…

War for God·

It was the temple that could justify any cruelty in the name of serving God.

It was the best cause for fanatics…

This is because there is an indulgence that everything one does is for God.

The best cause to sacrifice not only one’s own life but also the lives of others for God was the temple.

“For what reason did John declare the temple?”

“I don’t know about that. City Hall has also started investigating the cause, but we haven’t received any information yet.”

“It’s a pain in the ass. It’s a holy war.”

“The closest place to Dongdaemun is Sinchon… We don’t know what kind of trouble they might cause if they cross the border… So we need to be well prepared…”

“Tsk! “Can’t we just stay quiet for a while?”

Zeon clicked his tongue and shook his head ·

When John moves, all the fanatics living in Dongdaemun move. The fanatics destroy and deplete everything in their path like a swarm of locusts.

Knowing Dongdaemun’s habits, his wish was to stay quiet.

“A holy war, a war for God… really?”

At that moment, something came to Zeon’s mind…

“why? “Do you have anything in mind?”

“I have an idea, but I think I need to look into it in more detail.”

“What is that?”

“I’ll tell you when I know for sure.”

Zeon answered as he took the robe hanging on the wall and put it on.

Zeon, wearing a robe, came out immediately.

He didn’t have to go far ·

When I came out, I saw fanatics from Dongdaemun…

As Zeon approached, the fanatics who spotted him quickly fled.

It completely blocks Xeon’s access itself.

Zeon had no intention of talking to them in the first place.

There was no reason to talk to fanatics when there was a better target.

“hey·”

The person he spoke to was someone who had been captured by fanatics a while ago…

“Ah, Zeon!”

He recognized Zeon and was pleased…

There was no one living in Sinchon who did not know Zeon.

Zeon asked him·

“What were they asking?”

“Ah, I’m looking for someone…”

“person?”

“I’m looking for a girl who causes miracles.”

“Transfer?”

“There is a saint who lifts up those who are sitting down and makes the sick healthy. I wonder where in the world someone like that is doing such a damn thing… Tsk tsk!”

The moment Zeon heard his words, he was convinced that his guess was correct.

‘They’re looking for that healer kid…’

It didn’t matter how he knew about Remura ·

What is important is that all of Dongdaemun’s forces were focused on finding Remura.

He mixed up a few words himself and quickly realized the truth.

For now, people are distracted by Dongdaemun’s unexpected movements, but soon they will know the truth.

A-level healers were coveted not only in Dongdaemun but also in other districts.

Except for the West District, where the Mechanized Awakenings are the main group, all other districts had a high probability of being greedy for Remura.

“Of course, Dongdaemun will try to protect it with all its might… I wonder if a holy war will really break out…”

Remura is not a saint…

He’s just a high-level healer…

But the fact that she was a healer wasn’t that important…

What is important is that her Dongdaemun considers her to be her saint ·

They will be willing to sacrifice their lives to secure her sainthood.

They won’t care whether it’s the South District, the North District, or City Hall…

Anyone who stands in the way of securing a saint will be able to do anything…

That was important…

If you make a mistake, the entire Neo Seoul could be engulfed in war.

“It’s a pain in the ass”

“What’s bothering you?”

The man who answered looked at Zeon with a puzzled expression.

“No, I’m just talking to myself.”

“Oh, yes!”

“Thank you for your answer…”

“Oh my! What can I do with this? Zeon is the savior of our Sinchon, so of course I have to tell you what I know.”

“thank you·”

Zeon gave him a brief greeting and then headed to old Clexi’s store.

Old Man Clexi was in the middle of a conversation with someone…

Xeon realized that the person talking to Old Klexi was an executive of the Eye of Argos.

“Welcome, you go quickly.”

“yes!”

The Eye of Argos executive greeted Zeon and left.

Zeon said as he sat down across from old Clexi.

“Because of Dongdaemun?”

“Do you know?”

“They are already raiding Sinchon…”

“I think it’s because of that kid… A-level healer…”

“I think so too…”

“hmm!”

They were two people who already knew about Remura’s existence.

Therefore, it was not difficult to infer that the person the fanatics in Dongdaemun were looking for was Remura.

“What do you think will happen?”

“It’s just a matter of time…”

“I see you think so too. If you make a mistake, the slums could be completely destroyed.”

Old Man Clexi’s expression was very serious…

“There will be problems not only in the slums but also in Neo-Seoul.”

“That kid is a bomb… In terms of destructive power, he is even more than an S-class demon…”

“····”

“It might be better for Neo Seoul to get rid of that child before it’s too late.”

“Are you serious?”

“I’m serious… I don’t make jokes about things like this… It’s a matter of our survival…”

Old Clexi’s eyes, hidden behind his glasses, shone sharply.

A-level healers are important, but not more important than Neo Seoul or the slums.

This is true for old Clexi, who experienced the great destruction firsthand a hundred years ago…

No one knew better than him how precious and reliable this small fence in the middle of the desert was.

Old Man Clexi’s voice lowered…

“So, what would you do if I had to kill that child?”
