Sand Mage of the Burnt Desert - Chapter 392

Episode 392

Zeon’s expression was heavy as he walked alone down the street.

I was feeling uneasy and wanted to be alone for a while, so I let Levin in first.

Garion was originally an ordinary person, but he was awakened by John after killing his entire family.

If I hadn’t attacked Zeon on John’s orders and the brainwashing hadn’t broken, I wouldn’t have even dreamed of this kind of revenge.

The problem is that as Garion takes revenge, too many people die and too many places are destroyed.

Garion attacked and attacked anything related to the Dongdaemun religious sect.

In the process, there were countless victims, many of whom had nothing to do with the religious order but were accidentally involved.

If left alone, it was clear that more people would fall victim to Garion’s revenge.

I began to wonder if it was right to leave Garion like this.

If Zeon hadn’t killed Johan in the first place, Garion wouldn’t have gone crazy like that.

Although Garion’s regenerative abilities were great, they were not enough to deal with Yohan.

Knowing that fact, Garion also held his breath, not daring to take revenge while John was alive.

“It’s difficult!”

Zeon smiled bitterly.

This time, I realized once again that the cause and effect of the world is more intricately intertwined than a spider’s web.

Zeon possessed powers so powerful that they could shake the world’s cause and effect.

Depending on how much he intervenes, there will be a number of outcomes.

Among them, there may be some who run wild like Garion without thinking about the future or the future.

It was not in Zeon’s nature to not do what he had to do for fear of such people arising.

In the end, it was something that Zeon had to handle.

‘Necromancer Pilgram, elf Kalinan, and those affected by the residual thoughts of Krasias are appearing. Perhaps even the half-demon dragon Nigel has been affected by Krasias. We don’t know why Krasias left his residual thoughts behind, but if we leave them alone, a bigger disaster could occur.’

The Earth had already been destroyed once because of Crasias.

I didn’t know what would happen if I left him alone.

The more I thought about it, the more complicated my mind became.

“Hoo!”

It was when Zeon took a deep breath to get some fresh air.

“Are you Zeon?”

Suddenly someone appeared from a dark alley.

It was a man wearing armor made from the hide of a demon.

The moment he saw the armor style rarely seen in Neo Seoul, the leaf-shaped sword worn on his waist, and the large bow and talisman on his back, Jeon immediately recognized the man’s identity.

“I see you are the Pathfinder from Sacheon.”

“Haha! You’re as smart as I heard. You figured out my identity in an instant.”

The man was none other than Jang Woo-hang.

He came to see Zeon with Xiaolun’s permission.

Jeon narrowed his eyes and looked at Jang Woo-hang.

‘The smell of blood is strong.’

It wasn’t the smell of blood from the devil.

More strongly than that, the scent of human blood was emanating from Jang Woo-hang.

That meant that many people had been killed.

You have to kill so many people yourself to get that much of a smell of blood. The smell of blood that gets that much of a smell will never go away.

Jang Woo-hang had as much blood on his hands as Jeon.

Jang Woo-hang introduced himself with his unique greeting of placing his fist on his palm.

“This is Jang Woo-hang from Sacheon.”

“This is Zeon.”

“You seem more ordinary than I’ve heard. But people aren’t always what they seem. You smell strongly of blood. You’ve killed a lot of people.”

“Because we live in a time when we can’t survive without shedding blood.”

“Hehehe! This is also an era for murderers like us.”

“A murderer?”

“Isn’t it?”

“You’re not that hungry?”

“No, you’re the same kind as me. I can tell by looking into your eyes.”

Jang Woo-hang looked straight into Jeon’s eyes with a confident expression.

“Those are rotten fish eyes. It would be better to cut them out.”

“Huh! It’s no use denying it. The essence can never be deceived.”

“I don’t believe you can see through my essence.”

“Let’s say that’s true.”

Jang Woo-hang answered with a calm expression.

He seemed to have a knack for making people he spoke to angry.

“You’re quite rude. To come here out of the blue and try to define someone’s true nature.”

“Is that so? You’re being so rude to a person who is an awakened person from a small country.”

“It’s a small country… … I don’t know if it was like that in the past, but isn’t it different now? I don’t know how many people are left in your hometown, but Neo Seoul has a population of over 20 million.”

“Ugh! We can quickly gather that number of people if we put our mind to it. Our capabilities are that great.”

“Well, let’s say that’s true. But did you come to me in the middle of the night just to brag about something like that? It seems like you have nothing better to do.”

Jang Woo-hang’s face turned red at Jeon’s mutterings. He tried to suppress his shame and said.

“I have come to you to make you an honorable offer.”

“I don’t want to hear it.”

“But listen. It will be good for your future. Take my hand. Let’s go to the Underworld together. If you have the ability, you will be greatly valued in the Underworld. If you contribute to the expansion of the Underworld, I will give you all the pleasures of the earth.”

“I refuse.”

“How dare you!”

“If you want to enjoy pleasure, you can find it in Neo Seoul. Is there a need to go all the way to that faraway land?”

Zeon snorted.

Neo Seoul has everything.

It’s not because Zeon isn’t looking for it, but if you put your mind to it, you can enjoy all the pleasures that humans can enjoy here.

No matter how good the geothermal system was, it could not be compared to Neo Seoul.

There is no comparison between an underground city with a population of 300,000 and a megacity with a population of over 20 million.

Jang Woo-hang said.

“Neo Seoul may be ahead right now, but our subterranean power is far superior. The level of the Awakened, their intellectual ability, everything is ahead of Neo Seoul. If we can just learn Neo Seoul’s magic engineering, we will soon reach the same level of civilization as Neo Seoul.”

“That was the goal.”

“what?”

“Stealing Neo Seoul’s magical engineering.”

“I will not steal, but I will give and receive a fair price.”

Jang Woo-hang answered without blinking an eye, but Jeon didn’t understand what he was saying.

“A fair price? I heard you didn’t have anything, but it looks like you have something hidden.”

“That’s none of your business. Decide for yourself. Whether you’ll join hands with me or reject me. By the way, I hope you won’t reject me. I’m not used to rejection.”

“That’s too bad. I’m very used to rejection. So I’ll decline your offer.”

“Are you saying there is no room for reconsideration?”

“I didn’t see it that way, but you’re quite a slimy person.”

Jang Woo-hang’s face hardened.

“Jin Geum-ho and you are the same. You have a bad habit of looking down on people from great nations and trampling on them.”

“Is that so?”

“Then, there are cases where you can’t die without being excommunicated.”

“Well, thanks for the advice. I’ll be careful.”

“finally…….”

“Okay. I’ll decline.”

“You, you’re not even listening… … .”

“I really hate sticky things… … .”

“… … .”

Jang Woo-hang’s face was distorted like an evil spirit.

He looked like he was about to draw his sword and swing it at any moment.

In fact, his hand was holding the handle of the yulei sword at his waist.

A twisted waist like a twisted eggplant and a hunched back.

It looked like a volcano about to erupt.

‘Even this person has learned martial arts.’

Like most countries, China’s history has been one of struggle.

There were countless famous warriors and generals, and they possessed just as much vision.

Although many visions have been lost in the modern world, there have been groups that have persistently passed down and maintained their visions.

These were people who called themselves unmanned.

Actually, even if you say it’s unmanned, it’s not that big of a deal.

Their vision, which has been passed down for thousands of years, has not kept up with modern martial arts combined with science.

The systematically established fighting techniques of the modern era have overwhelmed the vision of the old era.

The unmanned vehicle became a laughing stock and was forgotten by the world.

But in the Age of Awakening that came with the Great Destruction, they made a dramatic comeback.

The power of the Awakened is added to the vision they hold, resulting in tremendous power.

Jang Woo-hang also learned the Red Flower Invincible Sword, a martial art that has been passed down for hundreds of years.

He was confident that if he could unleash the Red Invincible Sword, he would be able to take Jeon’s neck in one breath.

But the moment he saw Jeon’s cold gaze at him, he felt a chill run down his spine.

Because it was as if he knew exactly what move he was going to make.

Jang Woo-hang slowly released the strength from his grip on the sword.

I couldn’t control my anger for a moment and grabbed my sword, but I didn’t come here to fight today.

“Hoo!”

Jang Woo-hang let out a faint sigh and straightened his back.

There was no longer any murderous intent or hostility in his face.

Jeon thought Jang Woo-hang’s reaction was unexpected.

‘A man of great patience, despite his looks.’

I deliberately provoked Jang Woo-hang strongly to see his reaction, but he quickly regained his composure.

That meant it was rational.

Jang Woo-hang said.

“I admit I was a bit hasty today. I’ll give you some time, so if you change your mind, come to the southern section at any time.”

“South District? I guess you went to see Lady Xiaolun.”

“I guess it’s comfortable because they’re from the same hometown.”

“I don’t know if it’s because they share the same roots, but the two of them definitely have something in common.”

“I take that as a compliment. I hope that next time I see you, you’ll have changed your mind. Then… … .”

Jang Woo-hang disappeared into the darkness.

Zeon, left alone, muttered.

“What is the source of that confidence? You must know clearly that I can’t do it alone.”

The level of Jang Woo-hang that Jeon had identified was around B-class.

No matter how much of the visionary martial arts are added, the power will not exceed A-class level.

To that extent, it is no match for Zeon.

Even though Jang Woo-hang must have known that fact, he acted in such a provocative way.

It was an action that could not have been taken without having some basis of belief.

“They say there are hidden numbers… … .”

Zeon smiled.

Finding out what his opponent had hidden was also one of his pleasures.

“Hmm! I guess I’ll have to trace his steps backwards.”

Although Garion was on his mind, he was one who escaped Zeon’s grasp.

Zeon had neither the will nor the cause to force him.

Jeon could not do anything about the actions of the man who harbored the original sin of killing his wife and children.

Jang Woo-hang is different.

He came to Zeon first and made threats disguised as persuasion.

Zeon had the excuse.

“Then shall we take a look? What number do you believe?”

＊＊＊

“Haha! You really are a monster.”

When he was alone, Jang Woo-hang burst into laughter.

It was a laugh that came out because it was so absurd.

He rolled up his sleeves and looked at his arms.

The hairs on his forearms stood on end.

The trembling all over my body still hadn’t subsided.

The shock he felt when he faced Zeon was enormous.

Since the lord of the underworld, the only men who have shocked him to this extent are Jin Geum-ho and Jeon.

“I didn’t think there would be this many awakened people in a small country.”

Jang Woo-hang turned his head and looked at Neo Seoul.

There were many high-rise buildings lined up, including the tallest city hall.

It was still unknown whether Jin Geum-ho, Jeon, Xiao Lun, or any other monstrous beings were lurking inside.

Just by looking at Jin Geum-ho and Jeon, you could tell the level of Neo Seoul.

The very fact that there are cities and awakened people who have achieved such an advanced level of civilization in the modern era is a foul.

But I wasn’t afraid.

“If you are the lord of the castle, you will be able to subdue and conquer this place.”

The most powerful being he knew lurked beneath the surface of the earth.

If I can guide him here even in the distant future, I will definitely be able to take over Neo Seoul.
