129. Chapter 129
“That man… … !”
“Shh.”
Sewoon urgently covered Yasha’s mouth.
In a situation where you don’t know the enemy’s identity or skill, blindly revealing an intrusion is not acceptable.

Judging by the atmosphere, she seemed to know the man’s identity.
Fortunately, the man was concentrating on prayer and couldn’t feel the presence of the two.
Sewoon lowered his posture at the edge of the barrier and asked in a low voice to avoid being noticed by the man.
“Do you know someone?”
“I am the shaman of Skabe City. No, he was a shaman.”
“That means, not now.”
“That’s right. He was once the most capable shaman in the city, but he was kicked out of the city many years ago.”
“The reason is?”
“I haven’t heard too much… … Rumor has it that he intended to use the city’s lower classes to create soldiers against the sandstorm.”
“soldier?”
“To be precise, it is said that they intended to kill the lower classes and make something out of their lives.”
The sand city Skabe that Seun remembered was not a very fertile city. Due to the nature of the desert, drinking water and food were very precious.
As a result, there are naturally poor people called the lower class on the outskirts of the city.
From their point of view, they were stubbornly enduring in order to somehow survive, but to others, they were treated as beings that polluted the city.
To kill them and create soldiers to stop the sandstorm.
It was a proposal that a lord with a corrupted mind would nod his head at.
The sandstorm that blows once a year is like a curse to the people of Skabe.
Fortunately, however, the lord of this place seems to be otherwise. Considering that he rejected the shaman’s offer and kicked him out of the city.
“What is that statue?”
“I don’t know either. I think I’ve seen it somewhere… … .”
While Yasha was agonizing, Sewoon carefully observed the appearance of the statue.
Overall, it looked like a beast of prey walking on four legs, and it felt like thick liquid had been poured over its entire body.
Despite the frostbite, the dripping liquid was clearly expressed.
It looks like… … .
‘no way.’
The last enemy Sewoon saw before returning.
It resembled an outer.
However, Sewoon soon shook his head.
Before returning, Sewoon had never seen the existence of an outer while climbing up to the 92nd floor.
In addition, I read hundreds or thousands of books in a place called a repository of knowledge, but there was only a few books of outer information.
Even that was only abstract stuff.
It doesn’t make sense that such an outer is sealed only on the 10th floor.
While Sewoon was shaking his head, Yasha opened his mouth as if thinking of something.
“Ah, I think I saw a similar mural in the castle.”
“mural?”
“It’s a story about the legend I told you about earlier, but the monster that came out of it had a shape similar to that statue.”
“Then why is that shaman praying to a monster?”
“That I don’t know either.”
A statue of a shaman expelled from the city and a monster in a sandstorm.
The details were unknown, but if Sewoon wasn’t mistaken, one thing was clear.
That he’s plotting something here to get revenge on the people of the city who kicked him out.
“Perhaps they are trying to break the seal.”
“Hopefully not. If we do that, our city… … .”
“It must have been aimed at. If the seal is weakening because of that shaman, doesn’t that explain the abnormalities that have happened so far?”
“… … That’s right. The timing is also exquisitely matched.”
“Let’s ask for more details.”
“If you are going to have a conversation, I will go first. We weren’t close, but we had a one-sided relationship, so I’ll listen to the conversation.”
“No, you stay here.”
“yes?”
“If possible, I would like to have a conversation after winning the game.”
Susut-
Sewoon’s body blurred.
She, who was watching Sewoon from the side, was also surprised at the sudden blur of Sewoon’s appearance.
– Kilkerga style stealth is enhanced through inner air.
By applying inner strength to stealth, it maximizes its ability.
Assimilated among the golden sand, I move my feet very slowly.
Even the slightest sound did not spread even though I was walking on the sinking grain of sand.
‘Now that I can’t see any magic traps around me and I’m concentrating on prayer, this is my chance.’
The search magic put an end to the exploration of the surroundings.
All you have to do is approach quietly behind the man’s back and thrust a blade into his throat with a Kilkerga-style assassination technique.
From that moment on, it’s enough to find out what the man was up to, even through threats.
The peaceful conversation Yasha said?
There was no way that would be possible for someone who had already been kicked out of the city and was preparing for revenge.
If he tries to do nonsense instead of spitting out information, he can slit his throat on the spot.
‘3m.’
The man’s back came closer.
As the distance narrowed, I began to hear the man muttering little by little.
“O absolute being who descended from the universe and covered the earth. Please cover the desert once more and give us true fear… … .”
Although there were words that were sometimes difficult to understand, I was able to understand about half of them, perhaps thanks to the system’s calibration.

Just before approaching the back of his neck, the image of outerwear came to Seun’s mind.
The figure of the stone statue as if flowing down, and the words the shaman was memorizing. All of them pointed to outerwear.
However, now was not the time to think about such things.
By the time Sewoon came to his senses and calmly drew his sword and tried to place it on the man’s throat.
“… … In that great name, grant me the strength to remove the intruder who dared to disturb your sanctuary.”
Wow!
Pillars of sand soared before my eyes.
Had he already noticed Seun’s existence?
As he opened the pillar to avoid it, he could see the shaman stopping his prayers and looking at Sewoon through the sunken sand.
He was picking up the staff he had put down on the floor while praying, and the staff also took on the shape of melting wood.
“You immoral one. Why are you disturbing me?”
-The constellation ‘Crow with Head Down’ frowns, feeling extremely impure energy.
-The constellation ‘The Hungry Prince’ starts gagging, saying it smells fishy.
– The constellation ‘Serpent Surrounding Envy’ is trying to figure out the identity of the energy by flicking its tongue.
Eight newly raised pillars of sand wriggled like legs.
It looked like there might have been a kraken, known as the monster of the sea, at the bottom of the desert.
The Constellations that had been watching Seun started to show completely different reactions.
Up until now, no matter how strong the boss monster was, it was just about showing interest, but looking at the reaction alone, it was possible to know that the opponent was an unusual being.
“Jevis Seru, please stop!”
From nob le mt l dot com
Just before the full-scale battle broke out, Yasha, who had been hiding on the outskirts of the barrier, hurriedly came out at Se-jun’s request.
Naturally, the eyes of the shaman called Zevis Seru also returned to Yasha.
“Do you remember me? The commander of the South Gate, my name is Yasha.”
“Oh, I remember. He was a surprisingly loyal child who was favored by the lord.”
“Please, please stop. If I report it to the lord, Seru-sama won’t be safe either.”
“Heh heh, you’re not safe.”
“Instead, if you stop this ploy and turn yourself in, I will help you with the utmost extenuating circumstances in my name. so… … .”
“Certainly, if you report it now, it will be annoying. But, hey. You are misunderstanding something.”
sssss-
The grains of sand in the desert swayed.
The transparent barrier that blocked the sandstorm began to fill up with sand from the bottom.
Sand walls completed in an instant blocked all directions.
At this, the shaman raised a wand with a fishy smile.
“In the first place, there will be no report, so I won’t be bothered.”
– Opened the treasure house of greed.
[ Sand wall ]
– Magic that changed the Yellow Tower’s defense magic to suit special situations. It lacks defensive power compared to normal earth magic, but has excellent mobility.
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
From nob le mt l dot com
Just as the power of water magic was strengthened by the riverside, it is best to use sand magic as well in this place full of sand grains everywhere.
The pillar of sand that was wriggling toward us collided with the wall of sand that Sewoon raised.
Grains of sand were scattered everywhere, and a cloud of sand dust arose.
“Oh, it’s sand magic. I wondered how he managed to get through the sandstorm, and it looks like that kid brought a mercenary with good skills.”
– The ‘sand wall’ will become stronger according to the tips of the Yellow Tower.
Kwa Kwa Kwa!!
Eight pillars of sand pounded the sand wall.
The sand pillars attacked Sewoon by bypassing or climbing up the walls as if they were alive, so Sewoon had to raise a wall of sand one after another.
The guiding force of the sand pillar was too good to run away, and the wind that covered the barrier with sand had too little space to escape.
‘Now that it’s like this, I have to kill the shaman.’
Avoiding it didn’t seem like the answer would come out.
Seeing the sorcerer’s relaxed expression, it didn’t seem like his strength would diminish if he endured like this.
Sewoon raised his hand and pointed at the shaman.
-The eyes of envy begin to stare at ‘Jevis Seru’.
No matter how strong the enemy was, if he used the power of envy, he could lower that power and, conversely, raise Seun’s power.
After a brief confrontation, I will immediately launch a counterattack when the opportunity arises.
I thought so, but as soon as I used the authority, the shaman’s expression changed.
“Oh, what a strange power. Is it the absorption of power?”
Until now, no one had noticed the Power of Jealousy as soon as it was used. Everyone felt strange only after they had lost some strength.
However, the author was different.
As soon as he was pointed out as the target of authority, it wasn’t enough that he noticed the change, but he still had a relaxed expression.
“Heh heh, it seems he is no ordinary mercenary. Your life will end here because of that child.”
It was unlikely that the opponent would drag out time at Se-jun’s will, given that he had been exposed to the authority.
In response, Sewoon quickly ran between the sand walls and pillars to avoid the opponent’s sight.
Pillars of sand came down from above and came crashing in from the front.
If Nichu-gong hadn’t been fully manifested, he would have been caught by that sand pillar long ago.
‘Got it!’
Sewoon, who was running at a formidable speed, quickly arrived right in front of the shaman.
Even so, the expression of his leisurely smile was very uncomfortable, but that doesn’t mean he can’t stop the attack.
-Through internal air, the third herbivore of the blood sword method, blood attack (血狼襲擊) is strengthened.
Kwaaang!!
The red wolf swept over the shaman.
Sharp claws and long fangs pierced the shaman’s abdomen and hacked his limbs.
His form, hit by the attack, collapsed in disgrace.
however… … .
‘Failed.’
The feeling of riding the sword was not the feeling of cutting someone.
It feels empty, like cutting sand.
The mood was exactly right, and there was only a pile of sand grains on the floor.
Then came the shaman’s relaxed voice from the other side of him.
-The eyes of envy do not feel jealousy from ‘Jevis Seru’.
-The power of envy is dispelled.
‘what?’
The power of jealousy, which had been hope, was dispelled.
don’t you feel jealous
It was no different than saying that the sorcerer was weaker than Sejeong in every way.
However, it didn’t feel that way at all from Sewoon’s point of view, who was actually dealing with him.
Opponent is strong. To the extent that Sewoon, who had long since surpassed the level of the lower class players, struggled.
But why is the power of jealousy not manifested?
At that time, the power of jealousy, the owner of that great power, spoke to Sewoon.
– The constellation ‘Serpent Surrounding Envy’ has grasped the identity of the energy, albeit weakly.
-The constellation ‘Serpent Surrounding Envy’ turns its eyes on you, claiming that the target of the power is wrong.
