Sand Mage of the Burnt Desert - Chapter 351



Only Noblemtl

Episode 351

The sand on the floor melted and flowed due to the intense heat.

The melted sand bubbled up like lava.

One of Zeon’s skills, Sand Gehenna, was the Hell of Fierce Fierce.

The sand boiled like lava, swallowing up the Awakened ones surrounding Zeon.

“Ugh!”

“Shit!”

“damage!”

The knights and the inquisitors were terrified and tried to escape the Sand Gehenna territory, but Zeon would not let them go.

Kwak-kak!

They were trapped in the middle of Sand Gehenna, where sand swirled and attacked Zeon.

The relatively light Dark Saints and Inquisitors were able to escape Sand Gehenna by floating, but the heavy armored Paladins were unable to do so.

The sheer weight of their heavy armor caused their ankles to dig deep into the boiling sand like lava.

Fortunately, the heavy armor and Holy Shield protected the knights from the high heat, allowing them to endure for a while.

Meanwhile, the knights tried to get out of the lava, but the more they struggled, the deeper they fell into the swamp.

Chewy!

The heavy armor began to melt.

No matter how powerful the heavy armor was, it could not last long in the extremely hot lava.

Eventually, the joints melted and hot lava poured into the heavy armor.

The lava that entered the heavy armor melted the flesh and bones of the knights.

“Kwaaak!”

“Hey, save me!”

The knights screamed in agony as if their whole bodies were melting away, forgetting their pride.

Chewy!

The sound of flesh melting inside the heavy armor was clearly audible to their ears.

The horrifying feeling of hearing your own flesh and bones melting was something you could never have known until you experienced it.

Even the most heavily armed knight with faith in God could not endure such pain.

It would have been better if he had just died in one breath. Then he wouldn’t have had to experience such terrible pain for so long.

Ordinary people possess incomparably powerful strength, and their vitality is also several times stronger.

Because of that, he had to experience pain that would not normally make a normal person faint or even die, while still conscious.

“Kwaaah!”

“Ahh!”

The desperate screams of the knights echoed through Sand Gehenna.

Fortunately, the Dark Saints and the Inquisitors who had escaped were so shocked that they could not say anything.

A terrible thing was happening in the sandstorm that was spinning at a terrifying speed.

It happened in a thick sandstorm.

Because we couldn’t see it with our eyes, it stimulated our imagination.

The desperate screams that poured out through the sand further heightened the imagination.

“This can’t be happening!”

“oh my god!”

The Dark Saints and the Inquisitors shuddered at the thought of the terrible.

They were not people who felt fear of others.

Rather, they were beings that made other people afraid.

Such people trembled in fear without even realizing it.

The body tremors do not subside easily.

The bristling hairs shook dangerously.

It was the first time in my life that I felt like this.

“Oh! Lord… … .”

“John!”

John’s face hardened at the cries of the knights.

I could tell without even seeing it with my own eyes.

That his followers are dying in that sandstorm.

John opened his mouth.

“how?”

He couldn’t understand.

Clearly, he poured out all kinds of curses.

Even the most powerful Awakened would be weakened by such a curse. However, Zeon was completely unaffected and was able to exert his full power.

“Do you have an item that can protect against the curse?”

John bit his lip.

My lips were torn and bleeding, but I didn’t even have the mental space to feel the pain.

Even at this moment, the cries of the knights pierced his eardrums.

John commanded the Dark Saints and the Inquisitors.

“What are you doing? Hurry up and save the knights. Save your comrades from the hands of Satan. May the protection of God protect you… … .”

The faces of the Dark Saints and Inquisitors, who had been frozen by the desperate screams of the Paladins, once again showed their fighting spirit.

Although momentarily intimidated by Zeon’s incredible might, they were fanatics willing to lay down their lives at John’s command.

For a moment, they felt ashamed of their behavior, having been intimidated by Zeon’s majesty.

Shame turned to anger, and they were willing to throw themselves into the sandstorm to vent their anger.

“Die, you infidel!”

“Wow!”

Chorus!

They fought their way through the sandstorm to reach Zeon.

In their sight, they saw the horrific sight of the knights melting in the lava.

Most of them were half-melted and dead, but some were still breathing and groaning in pain.

“Please go to heaven.”

“Shit!”

The Inquisitors and Dark Saints swallowed their tears and took the breaths of the Paladins. It was intended to ease their suffering.

Even when attacked by the Inquisitors and Dark Saints, the Paladins did not show even a single expression of resentment. Instead, they faced death with a grateful heart.

“Ahhh! Zeon. I’ll tear you to pieces.”

“Cursed sand wizard. You will never die a pretty death.”

They approached Zeon, stepping over the corpses of the knights melting in the lava.

In the eye of the sandstorm, Zeon stood holding a giant scythe.

It was the Grim Reaper’s scythe that I once obtained by killing the Grim Reaper.

Thanks to the Sickle of the Grim Reaper, all of the curses that John had laid down could be dispelled. However, the price for using the Sickle of the Grim Reaper was harsh.

A tremendous backlash struck Zeon.

Zeon endured the pain and quickly thrust the Grim Reaper’s scythe into the subspace.

It wasn’t something that would be used for a long time.

When I put the Scythe of Death into the subspace, I was a little free from the recoil.

Shuaak!

At that moment, the Inquisitors and Dark Saints launched an attack.

Chain sickles and various skills pouring down like rain.

There seemed to be nowhere for Zeon to escape.

At that moment, Zeon’s body soared into the air.

The sand on the floor blew away Zeon’s body.

Thanks to this, I was able to escape the onslaught of the Inquisitors and the Dark Saints.

From high in the sky, Zeon looked down upon the Inquisitors and the Dark Saints.

Such an appearance of Zeon was reminiscent of a god or a devil.

The Inquisitors and Dark Saints kicked the bodies of the Paladins and flew towards Zeon.

Wedge!

The Inquisitors and Dark Saints approach Zeon at a frightening speed.

Their gazes and Zeon’s met in the air.

In their eyes, Zeon read an incredible murderous intent.

It is filled with the will to kill Zeon by any means necessary.

On the other hand, there was no emotion in Zeon’s eyes.

The inquisitors and Dark Saints felt goosebumps run down their bodies at the sight of their numb gaze, as if they were looking at something other than a human.

At that moment, Zeon spoke in a soft voice.

“Sand Storm!”

Kwaaaa!

In an instant, the sandstorm that had been swirling around Zeon began to blow away, spinning at a speed several times more terrifying.

The sand that had piled up in the slums was carried by the sandstorm created by Zeon. Not only that, but the sand from the desert outside the slums was also sucked in by the sandstorm and grew in size.

Everyone gaped in amazement at the monstrous sandstorm that had grown several times larger in an instant.

Kwaaaaaaa!

A huge sandstorm that swirled and blackened the sky swallowed up those who were attacking Zeon.

“Ugh! This little piece of sand… … .”

The Inquisitors have strengthened the Holy Shield.

They believed that the Holy Shield would protect them from the sandstorm, but their faith was shattered in an instant.

Chaenggrang!

Unable to withstand the immense pressure of the sandstorm, the Holy Shield shattered like glass.

The sandstorm that shattered the Holy Shield gnawed at the Inquisitors and Dark Saints with its tremendous pressure.

The Inquisitors and Dark Saints, whose Holy Shields had been shattered, could not withstand the fine sand particles digging into their flesh.

They screamed in agony as their flesh was torn and their muscles were torn apart.

“Oh my God!”

“Kwaaak!”

They desperately sought God, but there was no answer.

The inquisitor in the lead disappeared without a trace, covered in blood and sand. Seeing this, the inquisitors in the rear threw their chain sickles with all their might.

Even if they die, they are making a last desperate effort to drag Zeon to hell.

Wedge! Sugarac!

A large number of chain sickles flying like lightning.

At that moment, Zeon raised his right hand, which was wearing the Superheat Gauntlet, to the sky and muttered.

“Fire Rain!”

Hurrruk!

As soon as Zeon finished speaking, a rain of fire fell from the sky.

Pubbubububu!

Not only did the fire intercept all the Chainsickles, it also hit the Inquisitors and Dark Saints.

Even though they were already being torn apart by the sand, the super-heated inferno made it so that the Inquisitors and Dark Saints could no longer endure it.

“Kwaaak!”

“Ahh!”

The Inquisitors and Dark Saints dropped like flies that had been sprayed with insecticide.

Bam! Bam!

The Inquisitors and Dark Saints fell at a terrifying speed, their original forms crushed beyond recognition and their lives lost.

Hundreds of lives were lost so fleetingly.

Until then, those who were near John did not know exactly what had happened.

Because the sandstorm obscured their vision.

Shoooo!

Then, as if it were a lie, the huge sandstorm slowly disappeared.

The huge amount of sand that had covered the sky black was blown away to the desert, and Zeon was seen floating in the air.

The Inquisitors and Dark Saints who had attacked Zeon with such terrifying ferocity were nowhere to be found.

Because even their last traces on the ground were covered by sand. But even though they couldn’t see anything, it wasn’t as if people didn’t know what had happened to the Inquisitors and the Dark Saints.

John, the remaining Dongdaemun forces, and the people who came out to watch from the slums all knew.

That something terrible happened in the sandstorm caused by Zeon.

Something so horrific happened that Paladins, Inquisitors, and Dark Saints disappeared without leaving behind even a single proper corpse.

And that too in a short period of time, less than ten minutes.

There could only be one person capable of doing such a tremendous thing.

It was Zeon, a man standing alone in the air with sand as his foothold.

John’s eyes trembled.

“This beast! The second coming of Satan.”

He never expected that even with all the Paladins, Dark Saints, and Inquisitors mobilized, they would be unable to do anything to Zeon alone.

Even on Zeon floating in the air, not a single wound was visible.

Even though he devoured so many lives, he himself did not suffer a single scratch.

The sight frightened John.

For the first time in his life, John felt fear.

He never expected that he would feel this way towards a human being, not a god.

Goosebumps ran all over my body and every hair on my head stood on end.

The convulsions did not subside, and his breathing became so rapid that he felt as if he would vomit at any moment. Still, John tried hard to suppress his physical reaction.

Although he trembled with fear, he was the master of the class.

If the central focus of the cult leader collapses, the remaining members will lose their cohesion and scatter in all directions like sand.

If that happens, Dongdaemun will be finished.

That worst-case scenario had to be prevented.

Although he lost all his power due to a momentary misjudgment, Dongdaemun could have been rebuilt as long as he remained healthy.

He opened his mouth with difficulty.

“Let’s negotiate.”

“negotiation?”

“Okay! Let’s resolve this through dialogue like civilized people.”

John looked up at Zeon with an anxious expression.

Zeon looked down at John and thought he was funny.

This is because the human being, who is the agent of God, was looking up at him with such a pitiful appearance.

His trembling fingertips and rapid breathing showed how anxious John was.

Zeon shook his head.

“I may be a civilized person, but I have no intention of talking to you.”
