Sand Mage of the Burnt Desert - Chapter 373

Episode 373

Kwaaang!

As if a volcano had erupted, the earth burst open and a huge rock mountain suddenly appeared in front of the black forest.

“What is that?”

“Ugh!”

The Awakened and Dark Elves were startled by the sudden appearance of the stone mountain.

There was no way a stone mountain could exist in the middle of a desert made of sand.

That guy was a devil.

It was a demon with a gigantic body comparable to the mobile fortress Archelon.

The demon, whose shape resembled a crocodile blown up thousands of times its size, was made of rock.

Boom! Boom!

The crocodile made of rock charged straight into the black forest.

Kkuek!

Kyaak!

Countless demons were crushed by the rock crocodiles.

The rock crocodile trampled the large demon as if the large demon were trampling the smaller ones.

Even a large demon is like a fly in front of a rock crocodile.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Every time the rock crocodile moved, a huge hole was dug in the sand.

“There is such a thing as a devil?”

“A demon made of rocks.”

Not only the human Awakened ones, but even the dark elves were confused as they did not know the true identity of the creature.

It was a demon that I had never seen even once in Kurayan.

Golems came to mind, but I had never even heard of one that huge.

“Is this a new type of demon born on Earth?”

“Even so, that’s… … .”

The dark elves looked at the stone crocodile with expressions of horror.

Then Flora shouted.

“What are you guys doing? Why don’t you attack?”

“Yes, four!”

“Go, attack!”

Only then did the Awakened Ones and Dark Elves come to their senses and unleash a barrage of attacks on the rock crocodiles approaching the Black Forest.

Kwakwakwang!

A skill of immense power blasted across the entire body of the rock crocodile, but it barely took any hits.

At best, the rock on the surface was only slightly broken off.

“crazy!”

“How do you stop that?”

A look of despair appeared on the faces of the Awakened and the Dark Elves.

Flora, who had been encouraging them, gritted her teeth and flew away.

‘I can’t just sit back and do nothing. He must have some weaknesses.’

Flora landed on the rock crocodile’s head and swung her Auror Blade.

Crunch! Crunch!

Every time she swung her Auror Blade, a rock would fall, but that didn’t do much to shock the rock crocodile.

The rock crocodile charged towards the black forest with Flora on its head.

Even the wide moat that Zeon had created was nothing more than a small stream for the rock crocodile to cross.

In an instant, the rock crocodile leaped over the moat.

‘Is it the end?’

A look of despair appeared on Flora’s face as well.

The black forest was right in front of us.

Now the trees that had just sprouted appeared.

I couldn’t help but cry when I imagined the sprouts being trampled by the feet of the rock crocodile.

That was when.

“Damage!”

Zeon’s voice came to her ears.

Without a second thought, Flora kicked the rock crocodile’s head and flew into the air.

Kookookookook!

At that moment, the sand the rock crocodile was standing on collapsed.

A giant rock crocodile was literally thrown into the sand.

“Lord Zeon?”

Flora was delighted.

Because I know that the only person who can do that here is Zeon.

As she guessed, the owner of the voice was Zeon.

Zeon, who appeared at the entrance of the forest, looked at the rock crocodile with cold eyes.

Wow!

A rock crocodile stuck in a giant sand pit roared.

The bastard struggled to climb out of the hole.

The sand continued to flow down because Xeon had weakened the cohesion, but at this rate, it was only a matter of time before it rose again.

The moment the rock crocodile fully ascends, the Black Forest will be trampled to pieces.

The rock crocodile had to be dealt with before it could fully emerge.

“Is it a fusion of a crocodile and a golem?”

Just as Moby Dick was created from a fusion of a spirit and a dying whale, the rock crocodile also appeared to be a fusion of a crocodile and a golem.

The difference, if any, was that Moby Dick had a complete sense of self, whereas the rock crocodile seemed to have only instincts left.

There was no sign of firepower or vitality in the bastard’s eyes, which any living creature should naturally possess.

It has the body of a golem and moves like a crocodile, but that’s it.

The rock crocodile had no soul.

That’s why he came here.

To eat the newborn spirits.

Spirits are the purest living beings.

In some ways, it was most similar to the soul.

If a rock crocodile could eat and digest a spirit, it could also develop a soul.

Even though no one had taught it, the rock crocodile instinctively knew that fact.

The rock crocodile’s gaze turned to Zeon.

The emotion that appeared in the eyes made of inorganic rock was anger.

He knows it too.

That the existence of Zeon is his biggest obstacle.

Pubberbubung!

Suddenly, the rock crocodile’s shell exploded with a loud noise, sending rocks flying.

A rock crocodile fires rocks from its skin like shells.

Hundreds of rocks the size of houses rained down on Zeon like rain.

“You’re crazy!”

Zeon gritted his teeth.

Avoiding the rocks wasn’t difficult for Zeon. However, the moment he did, the black forest behind him would be devastated by a huge amount of rocks.

Now the newly sprouted black forest is being completely destroyed.

That worst-case scenario had to be prevented.

“Chat!”

Zeon started firing his sandblaster.

Dozens and hundreds of sandblasters began to surge forward and intercept the rocks. However, it was impossible to block or change the direction of rocks that were hundreds of times heavier with light sand. So, Zeon made the sandblasters explode into dust the moment they hit.

This was possible thanks to the superheated gauntlet.

Boom!

bang!

The sandblaster exploded as soon as it hit the rock.

The explosion shattered rocks and changed the flight trajectory.

Rocks exploded in a chain reaction in the air.

A huge amount of rock fragments were thrown in all directions, but fortunately, no significant damage was done to the Black Forest.

Oh my!

A rock crocodile popped its head out of the sand pit, roaring.

After firing the rocks, I climbed out of the pit.

The giant eyes of the rock crocodile and Zeon’s eyes met right in front of them.

I felt the empty gaze of an imperfect being.

I think I know why the rock crocodile is after the spirit. But knowing doesn’t make it acceptable.

This side also desperately needed the spirit.

I couldn’t hand over the existence that would become the turning point of a new era to a rock crocodile.

“This side is also desperate.”

Exactly!

At that moment, Zeon snapped his fingers.

Gosh!

The sand on which the rock crocodile had stepped began to rotate.

As the sand rotated, the rock crocodile that had been struggling to climb up was thrown back to the bottom.

Such a rock crocodile was covered by the sand that rotated terribly.

It was a sand mixer that could instantly turn any evil spirit into blood and sand. However, the sand mixer was ineffective against the rock crocodile, which was made entirely of rock.

Tititic!

The surface was chipped away with the flames, but it was only a very small part of the entire rock crocodile, so it was not noticeable.

Oh my!

The rock crocodile roared as it tried to escape the sand that was spinning at a furious pace.

I never thought that a sand mixer alone could do anything to a rock crocodile.

“But if it’s Sand Gehenna, it’s a different story.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the sand surrounding the rock crocodile began to melt.

Boogle! Boogle!

The thick, molten sand boiled like lava.

The rock crocodile melted in the super-hot lava. However, the rock crocodile paid no attention and moved step by step.

Boom! Boom!

The rock crocodile felt no pain.

Even if the body melts, it does not hinder movement in any way. Furthermore, because it is made of rock, the melting speed is very slow.

The rock crocodile was trying to escape Sand Gehenna before even a third of its giant legs had melted. If it escapes Sand Gehenna at this rate, a great disaster will occur in the Black Forest.

Zeon began to spin Sand Gehenna, increasing his dominance.

The lava is spinning furiously, almost like a sand mixer.

The lava became more sticky and stretched out, holding the rock crocodiles in place.

The rock crocodile that had escaped to some extent was dragged back into the sand gehenna.

The rock crocodile’s legs quickly melted in the super-hot lava.

Kuwaaa!

The rock crocodile struggled, but the more he struggled, the deeper he was sucked into the lava.

The legs were completely submerged in lava, leaving only the head and torso exposed.

It was only a matter of time before everything melted. But Xeon was not at ease.

He was a so-called S-class demon.

Even though my ego is not complete and I have no soul, I still cannot sit still and take it in a crisis situation.

Xeon’s prediction soon became reality.

The rock crocodile raised its head and looked up at Zeon.

His mineral eyes were filled with anger towards Zeon.

The bastard’s immense hostility and anger surged forth like a tidal wave.

The hostility of the rock crocodile was so great that it could make even the most awakened person lose their sense of reason.

Pubbubububu!

The rock crocodile’s eyes turned red, and then its huge body made of rock suddenly exploded.

The massive torso exploded, sending boulders as large as cars flying into the dark forest.

It was a size and power on a whole other level than when he had exploded his shell a little while ago.

“this?”

Even though he had been preparing in advance, Jeon never expected that the rock crocodile would self-destruct.

On the one hand, I felt a bit strange.

Even though his body was melting in Sand Gehenna, he chose to self-destruct just to kill himself.

It didn’t fit the physiology of the demon that Zeon knew.

That was when.

Thud! Thud!

Suddenly, four legs and a tail emerged from the rock crocodile’s debris, followed by an elongated face.

It was a miniature rock crocodile, a rock crocodile scaled down to a size dozens of times smaller.

“Is it division rather than self-destruction?”

It was difficult to escape Sand Gehenna with a large body, so the size was reduced.

Although their bodies have become smaller, their numbers have increased to hundreds, so it wasn’t a bad choice for the rock crocodiles.

Hundreds of rock crocodiles landed on the ground, writhing and trying to crawl into the black forest.

“Shit! Stop it.”

“Fuck! There’s too much.”

“Dead!”

The Awakened and Dark Elves struggled to stop the small rock crocodiles.

Although it was said to be small, it was still the size of a medium-sized demon. Furthermore, its entire body was made of stone, making it impervious to most attacks.

The Rock Crocodile Army, with their massive numbers and defensive capabilities, advanced relentlessly into the Black Forest.

It was the moment when the defensive line collapsed under the onslaught of the rock crocodile’s mass.

Suddenly a huge number of soldiers rose from the sand.

It was one of Zeon’s skills, Sand Soldier.

Respond to a material offensive with a material offensive.

That was Xeon’s choice.

“Go!”

Doo doo doo!

Hundreds of sand soldiers surged like a tidal wave toward the army of rock crocodiles.

Kwakwakwang!

A fierce battle broke out, accompanied by loud noises.
