Sand Mage of the Burnt Desert - Chapter 352

Episode 352

Zeon flatly refused to negotiate with Johan.

Through proper negotiation, both sides were able to take a step back. Then, they could maintain a certain degree of peace and live comfortably.

But Zeon knew that the peace he gained in this way would not last long.

This was not the fight Zeon wanted.

It wasn’t even his turn to start.

This is what Yohan and Dongdaemun did.

If so, they should also take responsibility for this fight.

Rather than ending it vaguely, I am talking about a clear responsibility that anyone can understand.

In this day and age, if you don’t kill others, responsibility is nothing special.

It is your own life.

It is impossible to do something like this and not take any responsibility.

John said, biting his lip until it bled.

“Are you saying you want to go all the way? You won’t be safe either.”

“I guess so.”

“Are you saying it doesn’t matter though?”

“When you fight, flesh bursts, muscles tear, bones break, blood spurts… isn’t that normal?”

Although he is now able to avoid getting hurt very easily, in the early stages of his awakening, Zeon had to worry about life and death every day.

Of all the beings I’ve faced in the desert, there wasn’t a single one weaker than him.

I suffered terrible injuries every day and kept getting better.

If it weren’t for his regenerative abilities, Xeon would have died several times over already.

Being hurt or in pain wasn’t a problem for Zeon.

Because it was something so familiar.

That’s what combat was like to him.

Subduing or killing an opponent while getting hurt.

John, on the other hand, was different.

After building his own kingdom in Dongdaemun, he never fought directly.

There are many people willing to fight for him, so there is no reason to fight him directly like a barbarian.

Of course, unlike Zeon, I have never shed blood or been at the risk of life or death.

That’s why he couldn’t hide his bewilderment when all the shields protecting him disappeared.

The luggage still remained.

His closest aide, Joshua, was still alive, and some of Dongdaemun’s elite remained. However, it was impossible for them to stop Zeon.

The best of the best, including the Paladins, Inquisitors, and Dark Saints, were all wiped out, so it was a delusion to think that those who remained could do anything to Zeon.

“My throat was burning,” said John, licking his lips with his tongue.

“Are you really going to go all the way?”

“Isn’t that why you came to Sinchon?”

“Ha! You are the true Satan. You are a being who denies the providence of God and drags everyone into the pit of hell. Because of you, the people of Shinchon will not be able to escape the curse.”

“Your tongue is long. Why are you talking so long now?”

“Okay! Since it’s come to this, let’s go all the way, Zeon!”

John threw in his hesitation.

A lot of people were watching him.

If I step down from this position today, John’s reputation will hit rock bottom, and the prestige of the church will plummet.

Then no one will fear Dongdaemun.

John felt how insignificant and worthless the end would be for a religious group that had lost respect and fear.

John walked towards Zeon.

Now there was no longer any fear or hesitation in his eyes. As he prepared to die, peace came to his heart.

The opponent is a sand magician.

As you can see, he has fraudulent abilities. However, John’s abilities are no joke.

John put all kinds of buffs on himself.

Calcified bones became as hard as steel, and lifeless muscles regained elasticity.

fillet!

My hunched back straightened and my shoulders broadened.

Wrinkles disappeared, and the once dull eyes took on an intense light.

In an instant, as if he had traveled back in time several decades, John regained his youth.

His muscles were like a volcano about to erupt, filled with tremendous power, and his body was churning with incredible force, looking for a place to erupt.

In return for defying the laws of nature, he gained incredible power. But the price he had to pay was no small one.

The life span has been completely cut down.

Zeon was a being that could only be dealt with by expending one’s own life force.

John decided not to think about the aftermath.

Because if he loses to Zeon, there is no future for him.

Win or lose, it had to end here.

John walked towards Zeon.

The shaking and twitching of the pupils disappeared.

A halo shone on John as he walked with his eyes half-open. This was a phenomenon that occurred as the aura within his body flowed out. However, to the eyes of ordinary people, it simply appeared as something sacred.

John muttered.

“God is with me. God’s judgment!”

Flash!

At that moment, a ray of light fell from the clear sky.

The light was pointed exactly above Zeon’s head.

bang!

Zeon dodged the beam of light by a hair’s breadth.

A deep hole with no end was created where the light fell.

It was truly an enormous force.

John silently extended his hand and pointed at Zeon. Then, a ray of light fell from the sky once again.

At that moment, Zeon spread a sand curtain over his head to block the beam of light.

bang!

Zeon’s body was thrown backwards with a loud noise.

Instead, all the sand that was hit by the light was burned black and turned to ash.

If the sand barrier hadn’t bought time, Zeon would have suffered major damage.

John pointed at Zeon again.

Every time, light fell from the sky.

“This is the wrath of God, Satan!”

John’s voice echoed through the streets.

“What is the wrath of God?”

Zeon smirked and waved his hand. Then the sand on the ground turned into a snake and attacked Johan.

One of his skills was Sand Viper.

Dozens of sand snakes opened their mouths to bite John, but no sand vipers bit his body.

Chemistry!

Just before the sand viper bit, a holy light emanated from John’s body.

The holy light annihilated the Sand Viper and rushed towards Zeon.

“Big!”

The moment the light touched his hand, Zeon felt extreme pain.

My skin burned as if I had been burned, and pus flowed out. The light was so intense that if I had been exposed to it for just a little longer, even my muscles would have been burned.

John approached Zeon and said:

“Do you understand now? This is the proof that God exists. This light was created by the divine power. It is not something that humans can do anything about.”

“My sexual power is a piece of shit.”

“Do you still deny God? God’s condemnation!”

At that moment, light fell from the sky again.

Zeon took a sandy step to avoid the light.

bang!

A deep hole opened in the floor with a loud noise.

It was truly a sight as if God was attacking Zeon with light from the sky.

But Zeon knew.

This is neither the wrath of God nor an attack.

His gaze had been fixed on John’s neck for some time.

To be exact, it was the cross hanging around John’s neck.

Every time John gestured or spoke, the cross flashed.

‘It’s an item.’

It was the first time I had seen an item in the shape of a cross, but the shape wasn’t important.

The important thing is that the cross responds to John’s will and attacks Zeon.

Boom! Kwaang! Boom!

A ray of light struck the place where Zeon was.

Zeon had to move his body without rest as the attacks continued without giving him time to catch his breath. However, it was impossible to avoid the beam of light forever.

Boom!

“Ugh!”

In the end, Zeon was hit squarely by a beam of light.

Zeon was thrown back several dozen meters and hit a wall. The impact caused the wall to collapse, slamming Zeon into the rubble.

John said, spreading out his arms to the people of the slums.

“Do you see? This is the power of God. No one can dare to escape the wrath of God. Trust in God. Trust in me. Those who do not trust in me will be condemned by God.”

“iced coffee!”

“Does God really exist?”

The slum people trembled at John’s words.

In their eyes, the miracles John performs are the power of God.

That was when.

“This is not the wrath of God. This is not the power of God.”

Zeon said as he pushed his way through the debris that covered his entire body.

Anger appeared on John’s face.

“But still, there are unbelievers… … .”

“The wrath of God is not so insignificant. The power of God is not so feeble. God does not come upon such insignificant men.”

Hair that had been dull and unsightly quickly regained its luster, and the burned area soon returned to its original state.

Thanks to the power of super regeneration.

Although Zeon is a sand magician, he can freely use flame skills thanks to the Superheat Gauntlet, and he has the power of super regeneration.

It was the same with John.

Although he was a buffer, he was able to use an unidentified attack skill by borrowing the power of the item, the cross.

John was not God.

It wasn’t even about communicating with God.

He is just an Awakened One who uses the power of an unknown item.

He is just a human being like himself.

I never had any intention of losing to humans.

Zeon summoned the Sand Soldier.

Dozens of Sand Soldiers gathered around Zeon as if to provide escort.

John cried out when he saw that sight.

“God’s condemnation!”

Flash!

Once again a ray of light falls from the sky.

This time, Zeon didn’t dodge as viciously as before.

bang!

The beam of light blazed. But Xeon was unharmed.

This is because the beam of light fell on the Sand Soldier right next to him, not on Zeon.

The Sand Soldier who was hit by the beam of light disappeared without a trace, but thanks to that, Xeon was able to escape unharmed.

“Profit! God’s condemnation.”

John cursed and dropped another beam of light. But this time, it struck not Zeon but a nearby Sand Soldier.

John’s eyes wavered.

Because I couldn’t understand what was happening before my eyes.

Zeon smiled coolly.

If God really was attacking Zeon, he wouldn’t have been fooled by such a simple trick.

The fact that even Zeon and Sand Soldiers could not tell the difference and just fired indiscriminately was proof that Johan’s attack was not the power of God.

John continued to condemn God.

Boom! Boom! Kwakwakwak!

Light flashed, explosions occurred, and Sand Soldiers burst out one after another. However, none of this had any effect on the target, Xeon.

The Sand Soldiers act as a sort of lightning rod to protect Zeon.

Thanks to that, Zeon was able to stand before Yohan without a single hair being harmed.

It was close enough that we could feel each other’s breathing.

Eyebrow movements and even breathing were clearly detected.

Zeon saw John tremble.

My pupils shook, my heart pounded violently, and my breathing became ragged.

If he had been through a lot of hardships or overcome many obstacles like Zeon, he wouldn’t be so agitated when things don’t go his way.

The series of reactions showed how John had been living like a protected greenhouse flower.

On the other hand, Zeon was a wild grass that grew up enduring all kinds of hardships in the harsh desert.

There was no comparison with John.

John knew that difference, and so did Zeon.

That’s why John was intimidated by Zeon and showed his emotions.

A smile appeared on Zeon’s lips.

It was a smile as cold and chilling as ice.

The moment he saw his smile, John felt a chill run through his body.

“If you really heard the voice of God and used the power of God, where would you survive?”

“what?”

“Sand mixer!”

At that moment, the sand piled up under John’s feet began to rotate at a terrifying speed.

The sand that had been scattered on the street was sucked in and swelled terribly.

“Oh, no!”

Gosh!

John’s desperate cries were lost in the rapidly spinning sand.
