Sand Mage of the Burnt Desert - Chapter 361

Episode 361

As soon as the old orc gave the order, the dark elves and orcs began to move.

They only diligently collected the eggs stuck in the wall, leaving the valuable queen ironclad ant’s body behind.

thud!

The old orc said, striking the floor hard with his bone spear.

“Chew! Hurry up. Soon the armored ants will come back and eat all the humans. We have to get out before that happens.”

“Okay! Got it!”

The orcs moved busily with answers.

Unlike the orcs who collected eggs while chattering noisily, the dark elves moved quietly without saying a word.

Seeing that sight, Zeon muttered in a soft voice.

“What a strange thing. An elf listening to an orc.”

“Chew! Who are you?”

It was said that Jeon Tan muttered quietly, but the old orc heard him and shouted.

Since he had no intention of hiding anyway, Zeon came out into the underground cave.

At his appearance, the orcs and dark elves stood on guard, their weapons ready.

“Wow! He’s human.”

“How about humans? Weren’t they attacked by armored ants?”

The eyes of the orcs and dark elves looking at Zeon were filled with hostility.

Because he had received such looks quite often, Jeon remained calm without changing his expression.

“I see you used the flaming armadillo to lure the armored ants. Did you learn from watching us hunt?”

Zeon’s gaze was directed towards the old orc at the center of the group.

The old orc’s wrinkled face was distorted in an ugly way.

“Chew! That’s right, humans! Shouldn’t we learn and share good things together?”

“Hmm! Your vocabulary is quite good. Do orcs become more eloquent if they live long enough?”

Zeon made a face of genuine admiration. The old orc’s expression became even more distorted.

“Are you kidding me? Human!”

“I was just saying that because I was truly impressed, and I’m sorry if you felt that way.”

The old orc became even more angry at the sight of Zeon answering with an expression that showed no remorse at all.

“Human, do you want to die?”

“No! I don’t want to die.”

“Where are the other humans?”

“I am at the campsite.”

“So you came alone?”

The old orc’s eyes flashed dangerously.

It wasn’t Xeon who didn’t know what that meant.

He said, raising both hands.

“Whoa, whoa, calm down. I don’t want to resort to violence when dialogue is a good tool.”

“Do you think you would talk to a human?”

“Isn’t that a seriously racist statement?”

“Shut up! You inferior race.”

“Hmm! I heard that we are an inferior race to orcs. That’s shocking.”

Zeon scratched his head.

Although I had many experiences, this was the first time I heard an orc swear at me in front of me.

Even at that moment, the old orc’s verbal abuse continued.

“Humans are trash. They are waste that cannot be recycled. The masters of this land are not humans, but us orcs.”

“That’s funny. Where did you pick up the word ‘recycling’? It’s not something orcs would use.”

“Chew! This man is so annoying. You niggers, kill him.”

The old orc, unable to contain his anger at Zeon’s provocation, gave an order to the dark elves.

The dark elves put down the iron ant eggs they were holding and approached Zeon.

In their hands were cold weapons such as shamshirs and rapiers.

The dark elves immediately attacked Zeon.

Shhh!

Wedge!

Shamshir and Rapier struck Zeon’s vital points at a frightening speed.

Zeon dodged their attacks by walking on sand.

‘He doesn’t seem to be addicted to the drugs, and he seems fine. But why is the dark elf following the orc’s orders? Is he under a ban?’

The dark elves that Zeon knew had pride just as high as the high elves.

They thought themselves superior to ordinary elves, and regarded orcs as nothing more than the dirt between their toes.

Those dark elves were faithfully following the old orc’s orders.

It was a sight that was completely incomprehensible to Zeon’s common sense.

The movements of the dark elves attacking him were unusual.

It was stealthy and quick.

Before he could even feel the movement, a rapier pierced his eyeball, and a shamshir dug into his groin.

Zeon avoids it by a hair’s breadth.

Dark elves flying in pursuit of such Zeon.

Dark elves were natural born assassins.

Their movements were as swift as swallows and as stealthy as owls.

It was to the point where I felt like a sharp blade would mercilessly pierce my lungs if I let my guard down for even a moment.

Zeon dodged the dark elves’ attacks or deflected them with his incandescent gauntlet.

Then one of the dark elves spoke for the first time.

“Die! You must die so we can live.”

“It looks like you’ve found a weakness in the old orc.”

“It’s noisy.”

The dark elf roared and swung his Shamshir.

His shamshir had a red aura.

It was an auror blade.

Crunch!

The wall behind Zeon’s back was cut away as if by magic.

If he hadn’t avoided it, he would have been split in two like that wall.

It was quite a gruesome attack.

If Zeon had been an ordinary fighter, he would have been intimidated by this attack. However, Zeon was neither an ordinary fighter nor an Awakened.

Wedge!

As Zeon snapped his fingers, the sand on the floor clumped together and flew away.

It was a sandblaster.

Dozens of sandblasters struck the bodies of the dark elves attacking Zeon with frightening force.

Pubberbubung!

The sand particles flew in all directions with a loud noise.

Some dark elves cut down the sandblasters with their Shamshir, some intercepted them with magic, and some dodged them.

That was a truly incredible reaction speed. But Xeon’s reaction speed was much faster than theirs.

Kwaaang!

The sand particles that had been swirling around Zeon’s entire body exploded all at once.

It was Cremoa.

“Ugh!”

“Ugh!”

Dark elves caught in the explosion screamed and flew in all directions.

They certainly didn’t expect the sand particles to explode. Naturally, they had no time to prepare.

The dark elves were lying here and there, groaning, but only one was unharmed.

It was a dark elf using the Auror Blade.

He swung his Auror Blade with all his might, wearing a turban over his entire face.

Zeon built a wall out of sand.

Even so, it only managed to stop the Aura Blade for about 0.1 seconds. The Aura Blade soon flew towards Xeon, cutting through the sand wall with a frightening speed. But that was enough for Xeon.

“Fire Rain!”

The rain poured down, filling the underground cavern.

The blue flame and pure white flame mixed together focused on the dark elf wielding the aura blade.

For a moment, a look of despair appeared in the dark elf’s eyes.

Because I instinctively knew that I couldn’t stop Zeon’s attacks. But that didn’t mean I would give up resisting.

“Hey!”

The dark elf swung his Auror Blade with all his might.

Phew! Boom! Boom!

The rain of fire that had been pouring down on him exploded like firecrackers. Many of the rain of fire disappeared into sparks as they struck the sword he swung.

A barrier made of auror blades was created in front of him. However, even a shield made of auror could not completely block the enormous number of fireballs.

A single blast of fire passed through a tiny gap and struck the dark elf. The force was terrifying.

Kuwaang!

“Whoa!”

A loud noise and screams rang out simultaneously.

The dark elf, swinging his aura blade, was blown backwards and crashed into the wall.

The shock caused the turban that had been covering his face to come loose, revealing his true form.

“It was a woman.”

The dark elf who had fainted and was bleeding was a beautiful woman who reminded one of a black pearl. However, the fact that the dark elf was a woman was not important to Zeon.

The important thing is that while he was dealing with the dark elves, the orc horde disappeared.

After letting the dark elves deal with Zeon, they leisurely escaped with the eggs of the armored ants.

“Tch! This is so cruel that it rivals humans.”

Zeon shook his head at the old orc’s cunning.

I’ve dealt with a lot of orcs, but this is the first time I’ve seen one that was this quick-witted and knew how to take advantage of other races.

The strongest orc Zeon had ever met was the Orc Grand Master Orca.

Orca was an orc who worshipped strength.

In fact, most orcs had similar tendencies to orcas. However, even among orcs, special breeds were born.

The priest who was Orca’s confidant did so, and the old orc I met this time did so.

These cunning old orcs were more difficult to deal with than the young, strong orcs who only showed off their strength.

At that moment, the female dark elf who had fainted for a moment regained consciousness.

“Is that… true? What the heck!”

The dark elf shed tears, apparently quite angry.

“colon!”

“Are you okay?”

The other elves who had come to their senses ran towards the female dark elf.

Fortunately, since Zeon had controlled the power of his skills, they were all only slightly injured. However, the mental damage they received was by no means small.

The shock they felt was enormous, as they had never expected that they would be defeated so miserably by humans.

Zeon approached the dark elves. Then the dark elves gathered around the woman and tried to protect her.

Zeon stopped right in front of them and asked.

“Why did you take the ironclad ant eggs?”

“Ugh! Because of you, my entire clan died.”

The female dark elf glared at Zeon as if she was going to kill him.

Jeon frowned slightly at the unexpected words.

“What does that mean?”

“If we don’t go back, Chuanka, that old orc, will kill all of our clan.”

“Is that old orc’s name Chuanka? Is Chuanka the one holding your family hostage?”

“That’s… … Ugh!”

Suddenly, a female dark elf grabbed her chest and moaned. The other dark elves did the same.

“Huh!”

“Big!”

Everyone was groaning, clutching their chests and throats as if they were suffocating.

Zeon frowned as he watched the dark elves rolling on the floor in pain.

“This is giving me a headache.”

Even Jeon couldn’t figure out exactly what was bothering them.

However, it was possible to guess that it was related to an old orc named Chuankara.

That was when.

Kieee!

The roar of an armored ant was heard from outside.

The armored ants, having realized that their queen was dead, were rushing back into the crack at a crazy speed.

If we left them here like that, they would surely become a meal for angry armored ants.

“I can’t help it.”

Zeon moved the sand to support the bodies of the dark elves.

Zeon quickly escaped the armored ant’s hole, taking with him the dark elves floating in the air.

Doo doo doo!

A large number of ants were seen climbing down the cracked wall.

It was a moment when I almost got trapped in an ant hole if I had been just a little late.

Zeon swept his chest and rose into the air.

The armored ants were furious at the sight of Zeon leading the dark elves through the crack. However, the armored ants crawling on the ground could do nothing to Zeon and the dark elves in the air.

Leaving behind the angry roars of the armored ants, Zeon emerged from the crack.

Zeon floated in the air and looked around.

The Chuankas and the orcs had already disappeared and were out of sight.

“The old orc is quick as hell. What on earth is he up to?”

Somehow I had a bad feeling.

To find out the truth, we had to first save the dark elves.

Zeon knew who would save them.

“Brielle might be able to find out why the dark elves are like this.”

Zeon flew through the air with the dark elves following him like a tail.
