Sand Mage of the Burnt Desert - Chapter 350



Only Noblemtl

Episode 350

John’s mouth twisted.

He also knew that Sand Soldier was one of Zeon’s skills.

Soldiers made of sand have become a symbol of Zeon for some time now.

When Zeon summoned the Sand Soldier, it meant that he would fight without ever backing down.

John also knew this fact and did not hide his hostility.

“Everyone, kill Zeon.”

“Wow!”

“All attack.”

As soon as John’s command was given, the knights charged towards Zeon.

The sight of hundreds of knights in heavy armor rushing forward at once was truly overwhelming.

John muttered, spreading his hands wide.

“God bless them… … .”

At that moment, a brilliant light descended from the sky and fell upon the knights.

A soft glow appeared on the heavy armor of the knights who had been bathed in light. At the same time, the energy radiating from them increased explosively.

Zeon immediately recognized the identity of the light.

“Is it a buff?”

The ability to temporarily strengthen the target’s abilities and skills was Johan’s skill.

John was an S-class buffer.

His own combat ability was not all that great, but instead, he could temporarily increase the combat ability of his desired target several times over.

That was John’s secret.

The battle power of the paladins who received buffs from John and those who did not was as different as heaven and earth.

The buffed paladins could not hold back their rising elation and let out a roar.

“Wow!”

“Wow!”

It was the atmosphere and momentum of a berserker, not a paladin.

At that moment, the Sand Soldiers behind Zeon jumped out.

He doesn’t shout or show off like a knight.

It simply carries out its assigned tasks like a precision machine.

Their mission was to stop the Paladins.

Sand Soldiers who fearlessly stop the Paladins.

The knights swung their swords and maces to destroy the sand soldiers.

“Get out of the way, sand monsters!”

“I’ll destroy them all.”

bang!

Phew!

Sand soldiers explode mercilessly with a loud noise.

The sand soldiers collapsed, sending sand grains flying everywhere.

It was impossible to stop the Paladins who were buffed by Sand Soldiers from the beginning. However, Zeon was not disappointed. He had already expected this much.

To begin with, the Sand Soldiers’ fighting power was not that strong.

Even if you were just a C-class martial arts awakener, you could easily deal with one Sand Soldier. All the knights here had abilities above C-class. Furthermore, the knights were currently receiving buffs from Johan, so their combat power had been multiplied several times.

There was no way that soldiers made of sand could handle those knights.

pop!

Boom!

The Sand Soldiers were shattered by the attacks of the Paladins.

Dozens of Sand Soldiers were instantly disabled and returned to the sand.

In that way, the knights quickly broke through the sand soldiers and reached Zeon.

It is within striking distance, so-called firing range, of reaching out with a sword or mace.

The knights swung their weapons mercilessly, but their weapons never touched Zeon’s body.

Bam! Bam!

The Sand Soldiers, who had been summoned again, blocked their attacks with their bodies.

Sand Soldiers were definitely weaker than Paladins. However, they could be created as many times as needed as long as Xeon’s mana was supplied.

This is what is called good value for money.

Zeon summoned the Sand Soldier as if he was making a fish-shaped bread.

The Sand Soldiers were mercilessly destroyed by the attacks of the Paladins. However, the Sand Soldiers were resurrected faster than they were destroyed.

Even the knights were tired of the endless regeneration of the Sand Soldiers, no matter how much they were destroyed.

The fact that they couldn’t advance even a meter with Zeon right in front of them astounded them.

That was when.

Shoooo!

There was a group of priests jumping into the air.

They were the Dark Saints, the secret forces of Dongdaemun.

They rained down attacks on Zeon from the air.

A sandstorm blew in just before the Dark Saints’ attack hit.

The thick sandstorm swirled around Zeon, repelling all of the Dark Saints’ attacks.

Pubberbubung!

The Dark Saints’ skills and weapons shatter with the sound of explosions.

The Dark Saints and Paladins could not hide their expressions of disgust at the fraudulent grandeur.

This was their first experience as well.

That was when.

“Do not be afraid, for I am with you. No hardship or adversity will be able to stop you.”

As John murmured, a red light fell on the Paladins and Dark Saints.

In an instant, fear disappeared from their hearts and courage welled up in them.

“John is with us.”

“Glory to John… … .”

The Paladins and Dark Saints pounded the sand walls and sand soldiers with their madness.

At that moment, Zeon muttered.

“Sand Viper.”

Swish!

As soon as he finished speaking, numerous snakes emerged from the sand.

Hundreds of sand snakes flew at terrifying speeds, biting the paladins and dark saints.

“No way.”

“Holy Shield!”

At that moment, the knights unfurled their Holy Shields to block Zeon’s attack.

In the presence of the Holy Light, the Sand Snake lost its cohesion and turned to sand.

At that moment, Zeon muttered.

“Cremoa!”

Boom! Bang!

The sand particles caused an explosion.

The Holy Shield was shattered by a massive explosion.

“Kwaaak!”

“Ugh!”

The Paladins and Dark Saints who were caught in the explosion fell screaming.

The knights wearing heavy armor were better.

Although he was greatly shocked, he avoided fatal injuries thanks to his armor. However, all the Dark Saints who were not wearing heavy armor suffered serious injuries.

“Shit!”

“Cursed Sand Wizard!”

The knights rose up, cursing.

Thanks to his naturally strong body, his incredibly thick heavy armor, and even Johan’s buffs, he wasn’t even scratched.

They rushed at Zeon, their will to live evident.

Sugarac!

Greatswords and maces flew towards Zeon, tearing the air. But this time, their weapons did not reach Zeon.

Because the Sand Soldiers stopped their attacks with human bullets.

Bam! Bam!

The Sand Soldiers shattered and turned into sand. Then the sand particles turned into sand snakes again and attacked the Paladins.

The Sand Viper, which struck the Paladins, returned to the sand and became a Sand Soldier to block the Paladins’ counterattack.

The sand particles of the Sand Soldier destroyed by the Paladins’ attack exploded again.

It was truly an endless cycle of sand.

As long as all the sand in the world does not disappear and Zeon’s mana does not run out, the cycle of sand will never end.

“This devil!”

“Die!”

The Dark Saints, who had recovered some of their energy while the Paladins were being hit by the sand, attacked Zeon.

A multitude of skills poured down like rain towards Zeon.

Zeon dodged their attacks by walking on sand.

bang!

The mace blasted away at the spot where Zeon had been standing, creating a huge crater.

If it had been a direct hit, all of his bones would have been broken.

Sigh!

The greatsword narrowly missed Zeon’s back.

“A blow of punishment!”

A powerful beam of light descended from the sky toward Zeon, accompanied by someone’s shout.

Zeon quickly created a sand barrier over his head.

bang!

A beam of light struck the sand barrier with a loud bang.

The sand barrier shattered under the tremendous impact. But that was enough time for Zeon to escape.

Drop!

The place where Zeon had avoided was struck by a punishing blow, and it was burned black.

A skill used by paladins to summon holy rays of light from the sky to attack a target.

As one opened the gate, the other knights followed suit and used their Punishing Strike.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of holy rays of light fell on the spot where Zeon had been.

It seemed like it was raining.

John muttered.

“I finally got it!”

The Punishing Strike was a skill commonly learned by paladins.

Of course, all knights could use it.

The true power of the Punishing Strike comes when hundreds of Paladins unleash it simultaneously.

Countless rays of light pouring down like rain.

It was impossible for human reflexes to dodge all those rays, but they could not be blocked either.

I don’t know how I could block one or two, but I couldn’t get away with being hit by hundreds of punishing blows.

There, on the outskirts, the Dark Saints were waiting.

Even if you were lucky enough to survive, you wouldn’t be able to avoid the Dark Saints’ attacks.

Kwakwakwakwang!

As the disciplinary blows rained down, explosions occurred in a chain reaction.

The ground was turned upside down, and a cloud of dust rose up.

It was truly an incredible force.

It seemed impossible for any living thing to survive there, but John never let his guard down.

The opponent was Xeon.

The only sand wizard on Earth.

The stamina he has shown so far has never been weak enough to die from an attack of this level.

John gave the following command:

“Send in the inquisitors.”

Sreung!

Before he could finish speaking, masked priests appeared.

In their hands they held large chain scythes.

The warrior priests raised to hunt down heretics were the Inquisitors.

Joshua’s eyes, standing behind John, trembled.

He was also an inquisitor. However, since he worked mostly externally, he did not use such a disgusting weapon.

I guess it’s because they have to be mindful of people’s attention. But they were different.

They rarely made public appearances.

Like the Dark Saints, they operate entirely in the shadows.

The inquisitors were murderers who took pleasure in killing the enemies of their church.

Without a moment’s hesitation, they flew into the battlefield where the punishing blows were raining down.

“Destroy the enemies of the church.”

“Die, heretic!”

Numerous chain scythes tore through the space where Zeon was at a terrifying speed.

Kwakwakwang! Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!

The sound of explosions and bangs echoed incessantly.

It seemed that no living thing could survive this battlefield, but neither John nor Joshua let their guard down.

John secretly prepared his secret skill.

No matter how many attacks the Paladins, Inquisitors, and Dark Saints launched, he had to be the one to finally end Zeon’s life. Only then could he establish his dignity and prove to Neo Seoul that he was the savior who would spread the will of God to the world.

“I will tell you why God chose me, Zeon!”

Pure madness flashed in John’s eyes.

The opposite of a blessing was a curse.

If you can give a buff that strengthens your allies, you can conversely inflict a curse that drains their strength on your enemies.

That’s what a true buffer is.

John was well aware of his own abilities.

“The angels of hell will drag you by your feet, and you will fall into the abyss of hell, you disbeliever!”

All sorts of negative curses, such as corruption, decline, thirst, aging, and deterioration, poured into the space where Zeon, the paladins, and the heretic inquisitors fought.

The curse does not work on those who have received John’s buffs, such as the Paladin or the Inquisitor. However, it was a bolt from the blue for Zeon, who was fighting against them.

Zeon’s new form, covered in all kinds of curses, staggered.

Without missing a beat, the Paladins, Dark Saints, and Inquisitors launch an onslaught.

Kwakwakwakwang!

There was a huge explosion.

The explosion was so massive that it leveled part of the slum, sending up a cloud of dust.

A smile appeared on John’s lips.

“It’s over!”

It was an attack that mobilized Dongdaemun’s full power.

No one could survive such an attack.

At least as far as John knows.

It was when John’s body trembled in extreme joy.

“John!”

Joshua called John urgently.

John glared at Joshua with a nervous expression.

“Why are you doing that?”

“Well, the floor… … .”

“Why the floor?”

A crack appeared on John’s face as he looked down at the floor absentmindedly.

Sizzle! Sizzle!

I don’t know when, but the sand on the floor started melting and turning into lava.

At that moment, Zeon’s soft voice was heard from within the dust.

“Sand Gehenna.”
