Sand Mage of the Burnt Desert - Chapter 333



Only Noblemtl

Episode 333

Siiiiit!

Nine heads glared at Zeon from different directions, flicking their tongues.

Since Zeon has completely blocked the passage to the outside, there are only two people in this space now.

Although Zeon has fortified the cave entrance, the Hydra’s power could break it at any time.

But the reason it couldn’t happen was because of Zeon.

The presence of a tiny human who is not even a percent of its size is what makes this Hydra unable to move any longer.

This hydra has no reason.

Because it is already a dead being.

This Hydra was a being that only listened to the orders of its master, the Necromancer.

The order given to him was to exterminate all humans who entered the necromancer’s domain, and to collect their blood in one place.

Zeon was a man who was a stumbling block to his master’s orders.

The fact that he could not carry out his master’s orders without killing the author motivated this Hydra.

Crooked!

Each of the nine heads breathed out its own breath.

It was poison breath.

The tremendous venom that the Hydra possessed while alive is released in the form of breath.

Gulp!

The poison was so bad that the walls and ceilings boiled and melted.

Even a light touch would cause my skin and muscles to melt, and even a single sip would cause me to writhe in pain as my whole body would burn.

If Hydra had fired Poison Breath in a space where there were Awakened people, countless people would have died without even being able to respond.

That’s why Zeon blocked the entrance.

Before any major damage is done.

Thanks to that, Xeon was hit directly by the poison breath. However, Xeon was unharmed even under the barrage of poison breath.

Hurrruk!

It was thanks to the fire shield surrounding him.

As the name suggests, it was a shield made of flames.

Thanks to the power of the superheated gauntlet, you can also deploy the fire shield at will.

The opposite of poison is fire.

It doesn’t matter how toxic it is.

Because the super-hot flames burn away all the poison.

Thanks to this, Zeon was able to survive the poison breath.

Unfortunately for this Hydra, Zeon is its nemesis.

Pfft!

Zeon kicked the ground and flew up.

The sand on the floor supported his body, allowing him to face the Hydra on equal footing.

Nine pairs of large eyes glared at Zeon. Zeon, however, showed no sign of intimidation.

Kwaaah!

When the breath didn’t work, the main hydra opened its mouth and attacked Zeon.

They are trying to chew and swallow it all.

Zeon avoided Hydra’s attacks by moving his body in the air.

Nine heads chased Zeon from different directions like guided missiles.

Although Zeon diligently dodged, at one point the direction he could dodge was blocked.

He cleverly blocked Zeon’s escape route.

It was a pretty smart reaction for a thoughtless undead.

I was acting according to a habit that was ingrained in me while I was alive.

The nine heads of the Hydra charged at Zeon simultaneously, blocking all of his escape routes.

Zeon’s small body was on the verge of being torn apart by nine mouths.

Kwaaaa!

A huge subspace opened up behind him, pouring out a huge amount of sand.

The sand from the subspace combined with the sand originally accumulated in the underground space to create nine huge sand pillars. The sand pillars thus created strangely resembled the heads of the main hydra.

It was a Sand Hydra created by Zeon.

“good!”

As soon as Zeon finished speaking, the Sand Hydra collided with the head of the real Hydra.

Boom!

Crorrrrrr!

The heads of the Bone Hydra fly out with a loud noise.

Without missing a beat, the Sand Hydra’s mouth bit into the Bone Hydra’s neck.

An attack that would have dealt a major blow to a normal creature or demon.

However, this Hydra originally does not feel pain and quickly regenerates when injured.

Their counterattack began immediately.

bang!

Boom!

The giant head of the Bone Hydra smashes into the head of the Sand Hydra.

The heads of the Sand Hydra exploded as they could not withstand the massive mass attack.

Xeon wasn’t all that surprised.

The Sand Hydra he created was nothing more than a large sand doll modeled after the original Hydra.

It is simply controlled by Zeon’s will.

Its actual power is far less than that of this Hydra.

It was only natural that he would explode from such a simple attack.

But even a simple doll like Sand Hydra had its advantages.

That means immediate playback is possible.

The head that had been shattered was instantly regenerated just like the Hydra I saw.

The biggest advantage was that it could be regenerated at any time as long as the sand and Xeon mana were not depleted.

Crooked!

Chomp!

A total of eighteen heads fought, intertwined like snakes.

While Sand Hydra was giving him body bread, Zeon was able to observe the main Hydra closely.

An ominous turquoise aura was seen rising behind the back of the Bone Hydra, which was very angry at the attack of the Sand Hydra that resembled itself.

The characteristic tentacle attacks seen on Bone Drake began.

Boom! Boom! Kwaang!

It pounded the Sand Hydra with its nine heads and dozens of tentacles made of turquoise aura.

The Sand Hydra’s body broke and recovered repeatedly. However, as time passed, the recovery speed increased significantly.

This Hydra destroyed the Sand Hydra and melted it by spewing poison breath, preventing it from regenerating.

It was when the Sand Hydra that had been created with so much effort became almost useless.

“Found it.”

Zeon’s eyes lit up.

His gaze was directed to the seventh head of the Hydra.

This one is particularly passive when the other eight heads and tentacles are neutralizing the Sand Hydra.

Attacks are also made from the rear, and only after safety has been secured do they advance.

“He is the leader.”

It seems like they have nine heads and each moves based on their own judgment, but there is actually someone controlling them.

That’s the seventh head, and he controls the other eight.

I had to get rid of him first.

After that, find the core and destroy it.

Otherwise the rest of the heads will resurrect endlessly.

Thanks to the Sand Hydra’s time, I was able to locate the head and core that would become the leader.

Now all that remains is to get moving.

Zeon flew towards the Hydra as it was.

The nine heads of the Bone Hydra raised their heads at once upon noticing Zeon’s attack. They attacked by shooting poison breath or opening their mouths wide.

At that moment, Zeon unleashed Fire Rain.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

A shower of fire pours down throughout the cave.

The blast struck Hyde’s head and tentacles as they were.

It was a skill that used white phosphorus, which never goes out once attached.

If it had been an ordinary demon, it would have writhed in pain as soon as it was set on fire, but this Hydra was already a dead demon.

Moreover, since the entire body is made of bones, it cannot catch fire and is not affected much.

However, the turquoise tentacles it wields are affected by Fire Rain.

Phew!

Baekrinhwa burned her tentacles fiercely.

Even though they were undead who couldn’t feel pain, I couldn’t help but feel concerned.

Thanks to this, their attention was distracted, and Zeon was able to reach the seventh head.

The guy and Zeon’s gazes met in midair for a moment.

The seventh head opened its mouth and swallowed Zeon.

Zeon didn’t resist and just went into the bastard’s mouth.

Black particles emitted from Zeon’s body just before the sharp teeth tore his body apart.

It was the Exion that I always carried around in my pores.

It had been a long time since Xeon had used Axion.

Pfft!

The axions surrounding Zeon simply deflected Hydra’s teeth.

Exion didn’t stop there, he pulled the sand of the Sand Hydra that had become the super corpse towards the main Hydra.

In an instant, Axion’s body swelled hundreds of times its size.

Gosh!

Then it rotates at high speed.

Inside the seventh head, a sand mixer is spread out.

The power of the sand mixer with the addition of Axion is incomparable to the existing one.

The hard bones break apart like tofu and scatter into dust.

The other heads came to save the seventh head, the leader, but to no avail.

Originally, Hydra’s head would regenerate instantly even if cut off.

The same was true for this Hydra.

Even if it had been ground up in a sand mixer, it should have been regenerated. However, it was ground up at a terrifying speed without giving it time to regenerate, so there was no way.

Zeon, who had blown off the seventh head in an instant, burned the neck area with super-hot flames.

It was sealed at the source, leaving no room for regeneration.

The remaining heads, having lost their leader, were seen wandering around for a moment.

They don’t agree with each other.

If given time, they would decide among themselves who would be the leader. However, Zeon had no intention of giving this Hydra any time.

While the eight heads were causing confusion, Zeon arrived at the center where their heads were sticking out.

Kkwaduk!

The axion was rotated like a drill to bore a hole into the solid bone.

Because the bones were so strong, they could only make a hole big enough for one person to fit through. However, that was enough for Xeon.

Without hesitation, he jumped into the body of the Hydra.

A turquoise light was seen flickering in the depths of the darkness.

It was the core and heart of the original Hydra, a condensed turquoise aura.

Phew!

As if sensing danger, tentacles extended from the core.

Boom! Boom! Kwaang!

Zeon used his axion and sand streams to intercept the tentacles one by one and reached the core.

Knock knock!

The core beats several times faster as if it feels fear.

Even though he was a monster that had been resurrected from the dead, death seemed scary.

Moreover, if you die this time, you will never come back to life again.

Because a being whose core has been destroyed can no longer be resurrected.

bang!

Zeon’s fist struck the nucleus.

It seemed impossible to destroy that massive core with a human fist. But Zeon didn’t think it was impossible.

Because he had a superheated gauntlet.

The incandescent gauntlet with the dragon’s eye was the antidote to all evil energy.

bang!

The second punch cracked the core.

Kuwaaa!

This time, the eight heads shook madly in pain, as if they felt pain.

Boom!

A hole was blown through the Hydra’s core with the third punch.

Zeon muttered as he stuck his fist into the core of the Hydra.

“Bloom, you white rose that burns everything.”

In an instant, a white flame burst out from within the core.

It was a white rhododendron.

Phew!

The fire that rose like a flower burned away all the turquoise aura emanating from the core.

Baekrinhwa burned the turquoise aura that was the source of the Hydra, sweeping it all the way to the floor like a greedy monster.

Eight heads glowed and tried to put out the fire somehow, but it was no use.

There was no way for them to extinguish the flames burning inside their bodies.

Kuwaaa!

Finally, the eight heads screamed loudly and fell to the floor. Then they did not move any more.

That was the end of the Bone Hydra.

It was a bit disappointing for an S-class demon to end, but it was only possible because the opponent was Zeon.

Zeon stared at the corpse of the giant bone hydra for a moment before taking a step forward.

He headed deep into the underground passage, right where he suspected the necromancer would be.

Finally, Zeon arrived in front of the large door.

A terrible aura of death was felt from beyond the door.

Zeon took a moment to catch his breath and then opened the door.

Squeak!

The huge door opened quietly, without resistance.

At that moment, a slightly surprised voice was heard from inside.

“huh?”
