Chapter 35. Junior Balok (4)

8.

The story of Prince Kashan spread faster than any rumor.

In one breath, you can cross the Nihal Desert, reach Victoria Island, and even the El Nas Mountains!

“There is something that adventurers should keep in mind.”

And most of those who heard the rumors spread like this came to the same conclusion.

“Excessive greed leads to death.”

Prince Kashan is going to die.

There was not even a shred of chance that he would return alive.

Of course, not everyone thought that way. There were clearly exceptions.

That’s what the Phantom Thief did.

When he heard that Prince Kashan had set out to conquer Mystic Gate, he saw a high possibility of success.

‘El Palm.’

It wasn’t because of Prince Kashan’s abilities.

‘Then it is quite possible.’

What the thief Phantom highly values ​​is the presence of El Palm, who was by Prince Kashan’s side.

I didn’t know him very well.

To be honest, Phantom Thief had never seen him fight or hunt even once.

But that was fine with the phantom thief Phantom.

‘Because the survival skills are overwhelming.’

It wasn’t necessarily true that you had to have excellent hunting and fighting skills to return from the Mystic Gate alive.

In any case, given the survival skills that El Palm showed, it seemed like there would be no problem in returning alive from the Yellow-ranked Mystic Gate.

It definitely was.

‘If only it weren’t for Junior Balrog.’

But the moment he saw that the boss monster beyond the Mystic Gate was Junior Balrog, Phantom the Phantom Thief couldn’t help but change his mind.

‘He’s on a different level.’

It wasn’t just about being strong.

To begin with, there were no weak monsters among the yellow-grade boss monsters.

‘Because he is a very clever hunter.’

The trouble was that Junior Balrog was a better hunter than most monsters and even adventurers.

That was a headache.

Actually, if it was just a boss monster, there was no need to hunt it.

Understanding the monster’s habits and behavior patterns, and avoiding combat as much as possible, that was the condition of a good adventurer.

But Junior Baloch was different.

As I said, he was a clever hunter. That means it was very difficult to figure out his habits and behavior patterns and deal with them.

‘It’s not something you can catch in the yellow ranks.’

In a sense, this was a mistake.

Mystic Gate has monsters that match the level of the adventurers who enter, which is why adventurers willingly venture through Mystic Gate.

But, Junior Balrog appears in a place that only 4th circle adventurers can enter?

Of course, the phantom thief Phantom didn’t question that fact.

‘It must have been the follower of the Black Wizard who did the talking.’

From the beginning, he knew that the existence of the Mystic Gate itself was not for adventurers.

That was the end of the Phantom Thief’s worries.

In fact, there was no need to worry any more.

Because all I could see now was the obvious facts.

‘All adventurers within the 4th circle or lower will be hunted.’

9.

A forest of tall trees.

“Kwaaak!”

A scream was echoing through the same place as Sleepywood Forest.

“Hey, save me!”

A scream full of terror.

It was a very eerie sight.

Because those screaming now weren’t just any ordinary adventurers.

4 circles or 3 circles!

They were people who had experienced and survived all kinds of adventures and monsters.

Even they were followers of the Black Wizard. Those who were ready to lay down their lives for him at any time!

“Eww!”

But even they couldn’t do anything about it now.

Because now they were being hunted, not fought.

Krrrr!

Junior Balok!

A one-sided, impossible hunt against that terrifying monster.

“shit.”

Even Alsar and Mohad had only one command they could give to such a junior Balrog.

“Run! Everyone, run!”

To scatter.

Of course, it was never a good choice.

First of all, running away was essentially the same as giving up on hunting Junior Balrog.

And it wasn’t just Junior Baloch here.

Krrrr!

Kappa Drakes, those fearsome monsters, were waiting all over the forest for a chance to fill their hungry stomachs.

Still, the reason for making this choice was simple.

“I’ll just run away.”

The fact that Alsar and Mohad could use their men as bait to save their lives right away.

Of course, it was literally just a matter of knowing.

It was absolutely impossible to hunt Junior Balrog.

But Alsar and Mohad didn’t worry too much about it.

“Find Prince Kashan here and kill him.”

“For him.”

Because what they were trying to catch was not Junior Balrog, but Prince Kashan.

“Surely.”

Junior Balrog may have already killed Prince Kashan and El Palm, but just to be more certain.

“Kwaaaaak!”

To do so, the two used the screams of their subordinates as bait and ran away with all their might.

Kkaaaak!

Without rest.

Aaaah!

Without a moment to breathe.

Aaah… … .

Only when the voices of their subordinates could no longer be heard properly did the two stop walking.

“Phew.”

And for the first time, I caught my breath.

“For now, I managed to escape… … .”

Shhh!

At that moment, Alsar stopped talking at the faint sound he heard and covered his head with both arms with all his might.

Kaang!

Then a powerful arrow struck his two arms surrounding his head, and the armor covering them was heard.

A very intense sound.

Phew!

On the other hand, his colleague next to him, Mohad, made a sound like a watermelon breaking and its contents bursting out.

dump!

Soon, the sound of Mohad’s body collapsing to the floor was heard.

It was the sound of a colleague I had worked with for decades dying in vain.

But even with that sound, Alsar was not overcome with emotion.

Couldn’t get wet.

‘no way?’

This attack was clearly an adventurer’s attack.

‘El Palm Party?’

And at this moment, there was only one party of adventurers left who could attack him.

That’s why.

‘oh my god.’

Alsar’s mind turned blank.

‘You’re alive!’

I was determined to eliminate El Palm Party and Prince Kashan, but as I said, it was just a determination.

Honestly, I didn’t even think they would be alive.

But are you alive?

‘If only Prince Kashan were alive.’

In many ways, it is the worst situation for Alsar.

‘This must be dealt with definitely.’

That’s why.

“El Palm! Let’s negotiate!”

Alsar made an offer to El Palm.

“The boss monster here is Junior Balrog! We had to join hands to catch him.”

Let’s cooperate.

Of course I wasn’t being sincere.

‘The moment he reveals himself.’

It was just a ploy to somehow buy time, create an opportunity, and kill El Palm Party and Prince Kashan.

But surprisingly, the possibility of that trick working now was high.

“Prince Kashan!”

Even if I didn’t know El Palm Party, I could understand Prince Kashan’s feelings.

“If you want to survive, you have to hold hands!”

That was when.

Swish!

Alsar was shouting, when El Palm appeared in front of him.

Alsar smiled inwardly at that fact.

“How can I believe what you say?”

Alsar was convinced by the following words.

‘I guess I’ll need help.’

That his trick worked.

“How can I trust you?”

That’s why Alsar prepared.

‘The moment you come near me, I’ll kill you.’

Get ready to kill El Palm.

“Let’s talk after seeing each other’s faces first.”

“Okay.”

That is why Alsar willingly appeared before El Palm.

And I could see it.

“Thunder Spear.”

Phagec!

A bolt of lightning flies towards you.

“Krrrr!”

Alsar shivered as he was shocked by the Thunder Spear attack.

He didn’t die.

Because all the items Alsar wore had strong magic resistance.

But it was no consolation.

My body was paralyzed, and it was obvious what that meant.

So at this moment, there was only one thing Alsar could do.

“If you, if you kill me, you won’t be able to catch Junior Balrog.”

Trying to negotiate again.

El Palm responded to Alsar’s attempt.

“Fire Arrow.”

10.

dump!

The moment Alsar’s body fell to the floor, El Palm’s colleagues who had been around him appeared.

And then, after approaching Alsar, Divo stabbed Alsar in the body with his polearm.

Phew!

Only after completing the confirmation kill was Divo able to let go of his guard and look at El Palm.

“boss.”

Divo’s expression was bright as he looked at El Palm.

That was out of the ordinary.

Alsar was the enemy, but what he said was right. We had to join hands to survive here.

But the reason I smiled even though that possibility was eliminated was simple.

“Now let’s go catch Junior Balrog. You have to make your 5th circle debut!”

El Palm, he became a 5th circle.

It was a great thing.

First of all, the 5th Circle was on a different level from the 4th Circle. One 5th Circle adventurer could fight dozens or even hundreds of 4th Circle adventurers!

How much less El Palm, of all people?

“The boss is a 5th circle, so hunting Junior Balrogs will be no problem.”

At this moment, there was no fear of Junior Baloch whatsoever.

“So, boss, what should I do?”

Far from being afraid, Divo is excited at the thought of being able to hunt Junior Balrog!

El Palm was happy to tell such a story to Devo.

“First, we’ll attack the wings and knock them off.”

“Wings?”

Those words, in fact, were ridiculous.

Junior Balrog’s flight speed was very fast, and its wings were so tough and strong that even the most powerful magical attacks could not stop them.

Of course, it was different with El Palm.

“It would be simple if you were the boss.”

Looking at the abilities he has demonstrated, it’s rather laughable.

In reality, hunting Balrog wasn’t that difficult for El Palm.

In that desperate time when monsters burst out from the Mystic Gate, El Palm was able to earn the title of Balrog Slayer by hunting dozens of Balrogs.

There is no way that there would be any difficulty in hunting the Junior Balrog, who is much weaker than Balrog.

The strategy was also perfect.

“What do you do after you drop it?”

And El Palm willingly shared the strategy with his colleagues.

“If he falls, you have to stop him first.”

“Huh? Stop it? Who?”

El Palm, he approached the fallen Alsar, cut off his wrist, took out the bracelet and handed it to Divo.

“uh?”

Divo, who received Hercules’ bracelet like that, had a blank expression.

Soon the expression changed.

“Me, me?”

Because I understood the meaning of El Palm.

“Excuse me, boss. Isn’t this a bit dangerous?”

Naturally, worried words came out of Devo’s mouth.

And nothing else, block it from the front against Junior Balrog?

It’s a risky thing to do.

“Don’t worry. There is a way.”

“Right? Haha, I underestimated you too much, Boss. Of course, Boss, you must have prepared a method! I believed in you!”

For such a devotional, El Palm took out the method he had prepared.

“huh?”

El Palm snatched the staff from the dead Mohad and threw it at Ralph.

“uh?”

Devo was surprised by that fact, and after a while, when he understood the meaning, his face turned pale.

Ralph smiled and said to him,

“Haha, don’t worry. As long as your head and heart are safe, I will spare your life!”

Words that are of no comfort at all.

On the other hand, the expressions of the others, except for Devo, were different.

Because the method El Palm had prepared had a good chance of success.

If you have Divo, who has upgraded his specs with the Bracelet of Hercules, draw the aggro of Junior Balrog and heal him with Ralph’s heal skill with the Staff of Asclepius, he will be able to last for quite some time.

Moreover, it wasn’t just those two.

There were also Kiri and Miner.

So everyone was curious about one thing.

‘how long will it take?’

How long do I have to hold out?

Of course, everyone here thought.

‘At least one day.’

It’s going to be a multi-day job.

Junior Balrog, even if it’s El Palm, it’ll take a long time to catch that monster.

“So, how long do I have to hold out, Boss?”

In response to his colleagues’ questions, El Palm raised one finger.

“Is it okay if I just hold out for one day?”

And El Palm answered the question that arose.
