Sand Mage of the Burnt Desert - Chapter 364



Only Noblemtl

Episode 364

Enlightenment soon becomes a skill.

However, even if you acquire a skill, you cannot immediately use it perfectly.

You must go through a process of perfectly embodying the skill as your own.

Likewise, although Brielle managed to obtain Wind Walking thanks to Flora, she was not able to fully deploy it right away.

In the process of mastering the skill, I fell down countless times and had to swallow sand.

I fell down dozens of times and got just as much sand into my nose and mouth.

At this point, it would have been easy to give up, but Brielle never said a word about how difficult it was.

When I fell, I shook myself off, got up, and started walking again.

With countless falls and gets up, Brielle’s wind walk becomes more and more perfect.

Even the dark elves, who rarely show their emotions, could not hide their admiration for Brielle’s tenacity and quick skill acquisition.

Even in the Dark Elf Village, there were only a handful of people who had mastered wind walking at such a fast pace.

As Brielle became more comfortable with wind walking, she let go of Flora’s hand.

“I don’t think you need to hold me back anymore.”

“I think that might really work.”

Flora nodded.

Now Brielle could maintain wind walking without her help.

From now on, it depended on Brielle’s efforts.

Given Brielle’s dedication and talent, it seemed likely that she would soon be able to perfect wind walking.

As Flora had predicted, Brielle had perfected wind walking within a day.

Now Brielle didn’t fall or land face down in the sand.

Levin chuckled as he watched Brielle perform wind walking at a speed similar to that of the dark elves.

“I’m so excited.”

“I know.”

Jeon also smiled.

You could tell how excited Brielle was just by looking at the back of her head.

Originally, he should have learned similar skills from the High Elf clan, but he was captured by humans at such a young age that he missed out on what he should have learned.

Although he pretended to be okay on the outside, Brielle always felt regret in her heart.

Since one of those regrets was resolved today, Brielle couldn’t help but be excited.

Brielle forgot her fatigue and started wind walking.

The price was very high.

“Ugh! Ugh!”

Eventually, all of his mana was depleted and he fell to the ground.

Brielle stared blankly at the sky, panting, but a smile still hung on her lips.

Levin said, looking down at Brielle.

“Are you being crazy right now?”

“Be quiet!”

“Do you enjoy pain?”

“Shut up, ghost! You don’t know what I’m thinking.”

“A ghost? Wow, that’s harsh.”

“A human like you, who floats effortlessly in the air, doesn’t understand the heart of an elf like me. Do you know how sad I’ve been? It felt like I was the only burden.”

“Oh! Is that so? Anyway, congratulations. You’re finally free from the burden and can do one’s share.”

“I’ve been doing more than one person’s worth of this since long ago. Who made the subspace backpack you’re carrying? If you keep doing this, I won’t make you any small subspace items?”

“Ouch! That won’t do. It was my fault. I’ll kneel down and beg you.”

Levin immediately got down on his knees and begged.

His exaggerated behavior made Brielle laugh.

The dark elves looked at the two people with confused expressions.

It is beyond their common sense to understand how high elves can joke and chat so casually with mere humans.

The High Elves they knew were a race that was more audacious than anyone else and that even the other elves looked down on them.

Moreover, they had no regard for humans who were inferior to them.

Even after coming to Earth, the nature of the high elves did not change. However, Brielle had abandoned her identity and personality as a high elf and was freely associating with humans.

Zeon, Levin, and Brielle, this unlikely combination seemed perfect.

‘Can elves and humans live together like that? Then why are we isolated in this desert and living so alone?’

Flora’s clan lived an isolated life with little contact with the outside world.

Although they occasionally encounter humans or other races, most of the time they avoid them first.

By blocking contact with the outside world as much as possible, we have blocked any potential problems from occurring.

After living in isolation for over a hundred years, my personality has become insular.

Flora didn’t find the atmosphere of the village strange at all. She thought the world was like that.

It was the same with other dark elves.

I couldn’t even imagine living among other races.

After falling for the orcs’ scheme, losing control and becoming like slaves, such thoughts became stronger. However, seeing Brielle and the humans living together like a family, they began to suspect that they had done something wrong.

“Hoo!”

Flora sighed in confusion.

Then Zeon approached her.

“Is the village still far away?”

“We’re almost there. Just get over that big sand dune and you’ll be in town.”

“Then I guess it’s time to start getting ready now?”

“huh!”

On the way here, Flora told Zeon about the village.

He said everything that Zeon needed to know about the size, structure, and number of people of the village.

Flora said.

“The important thing is to rescue the children safely. Next is to kill Chuanka, that old orc. If we let Chuanka go, this will happen again. We must kill him this time.”

“The orcs will think you are dead. While we are causing chaos, save the children.”

“Don’t worry. With the mark removed, the orcs are no match for us.”

For a long time, they had been unable to use their power against the orcs because of the damned brand. But now that the brand was gone, the dark elf warriors could use their power at 100%.

It was a golden opportunity to avenge the humiliation I had suffered.

After taking a short break, the group climbed a high sandy mountain.

As we climbed the sand mountain, we came into view of the dark elf village.

The village of the dark elves was peculiar.

Other elves lived in caves dug into the ground or in houses built of sand bricks.

It was an inevitable choice since the only material available was sand.

Because of this, most villages had a yellowish color that was indistinguishable from the desert. On the other hand, the villages of the dark elves had much more colorful colors.

The surface of the house was clearly different from the houses made of sand. It was shiny and looked like the skin of an animal had been tanned and laid out.

Zeon asked.

“Did you build the house with the corpses of demons?”

“Yes! I built pillars with the bones of the beasts I hunted, and made a roof and walls with their hides.”

Flora answered with a proud expression.

Dark elves were natural warriors.

They hunted large demons that threatened the village and made houses out of their hides.

With just one large horse’s hide, you could build a house large enough for a whole family to live in.

Because of this, dark elves risked their lives to hunt large demons.

After hunting demons for a hundred years and making homes for them, the village soon became filled with houses made from the hides of large demons.

Some houses even had the heads of large demons stuffed and placed on display. Because of this, at first glance, it looked like a bunch of large demons were huddled together, giving off a grotesque feeling.

Zeon made a slightly bewildered expression.

“I didn’t expect that. I never thought you’d make a house out of a demon’s hide.”

“It was an inevitable choice for us. We couldn’t find any material to protect ourselves from the wind and rain other than the skin of a demon. But thanks to that, our clan has been able to survive until now.”

No matter what anyone said, Flora and the dark elves were upright.

Because they accepted reality and adapted to survive.

In order to survive, we had to constantly struggle and evolve.

The moment you stop evolving, you will be eliminated and your clan’s future will disappear.

Thanks to this, the Flora clan has been able to survive until now.

Even though the future is threatened by the orcs’ schemes.

Flora said, pointing to the largest house.

“The children are trapped in that house made of mammoth skin. As promised, if you cause a fuss, we will sneak up and rescue the children.”

“Let’s get started right away without waiting any longer.”

As Zeon increased his dominance, sand from all over the place rose into the sky on the wind.

Flora and the dark elves were startled when a huge amount of sand obscured their vision.

‘What level is it that can move this much sand?’

‘There is no such thing as a monster.’

I already knew that Zeon was a sand wizard. But I didn’t know that he could manipulate such a large amount of sand at will.

The sand raised by Zeon swept towards the dark elf village like a tidal wave.

The orcs guarding the village were confused by the sandstorm that suddenly struck.

“Chew! What is it?”

“What a sandstorm… … .”

That was when.

Flash!

A purple flash of light appeared in the thick sandstorm that made it impossible to see even an inch ahead.

It was now the purple lightning that had become Levin’s symbol.

A purple current blasted through the orcs standing guard.

“Kkeugyagya!”

“Kkueek!”

Orcs who were hit by purple lightning while defenseless fell down screaming loudly.

The orcs fell down, charred black, shivering all over.

The orcs who luckily avoided the purple lightning shouted loudly.

“Chew! It’s an attack.”

“The enemy.”

At the orcs’ cries, orcs and dark elves rushed out of the house.

At that moment, Levin, who had become a ghost, once again unleashed purple lightning.

Flash!

A purple flash struck the ground.

This time the orcs weren’t just taking it easy.

They raised their shields to block the purple lightning.

A shield made from the hide of a demon protected them from the thunderbolt for a moment.

Occasionally, the electricity that flowed through the shield would penetrate the orcs’ bodies, but they just gritted their teeth and endured it.

It was a body so sturdy that it was almost foolish.

“Chew! Come here.”

“Stand in front of me and don’t move an inch.”

The Orcs who survived the Purple Lightning put the Dark Elves in front.

Using dark elves as meat shields.

Levin, who was floating in the air in a ghostly state, clicked his tongue.

“Tsk! Those piglets are so smart.”

Electricity has the property of flowing through an object.

Even if you avoid the dark elves and hit the orcs directly, it will still shock the dark elves nearby.

The branded dark elves could not withstand Levin’s purple lightning.

The orcs shouted as Levin’s attack faltered.

“The humans have stopped. Attack!”

Shushu shu!

The orcs hurled bone spears, and the dark elves fired arrows.

Levin floated through the air in ghost form, avoiding the attacks of the orcs and dark elves.

Then Chuangka came out.

“Chwiik! What’s the fuss?”

“This is an attack. Chitchat!”

“attack?”

Chuangka raised his head and looked into the air.

Levin was seen floating through the air, translucent like a spectre.

“Whoa! That human is definitely the one I saw in the Iron Ant Nest… … .”

Chuanka’s eyes lit up slyly.

He said urgently.

“Chew! The author must not have come alone.”

“Are there humans here?”

“Use the black elves. Let them find the humans.”

“Okay. Hmm!”

The orcs moved busily at Chuanka’s urging.

That was when.

Kuuu!

Suddenly an ominous noise was heard from a large sand hill in front of the village.

“What is it?”

“Oh, the mountain is crying.”

The orcs’ bodies froze with an ominous feeling.

Kwaaaaah!

At that moment, the sand dune collapsed and a huge amount of sand surged forward like a tidal wave.

“Kkuuuuck!”

“Avoid!”

A huge amount of sand poured into the village, swallowing up the orcs on the outskirts.

Orcs and dark elves screamed as they were swept away by the sand.

The dark elf village became a battlefield.
