Chapter 51. The Wolf King (2)
3.
It was a long time ago.
The story before the black wizard was sealed.
An alliance of anti-black magicians appeared in the castle of the Lion King, the master of the Elnas Mountains.
“That day, the day I lost everything.”
And they began to slaughter those in the Lion King’s castle.
There was one reason.
The Lion King joined hands with the Black Wizard.
That day, the Lion King lost most of the things he held dear.
“That day the king swore an oath.”
With nothing left to protect, the Lion King was able to make his decision without the slightest hesitation.
“I’m willing to do it, since you took something precious from me because you joined hands with the Black Wizard.”
That day, the Lion King joined hands with the Black Wizard.
Of course, the Black Wizard gave the Lion King a place worthy of his name.
Commander!
He was given the most powerful position, and naturally he was given the great authority and abilities that a legion commander would have.
One of them was a martyr.
He gave the Lion King a powerful card that could change the rules of the Mystic Gate.
Of course, the number wasn’t large.
It was a very valuable card.
“I wrote a martyr.”
Hote used that card.
To kill none other than El Palm Party.
That’s why he could be confident.
“Even if they do make it to the fourth floor, what they face will be hell.”
4.
Awww!
The lycanthrope’s howl knocked on the snow-white world filled with snow.
Awww!
The howling showed no sign of stopping.
It gave me goosebumps.
Awww!
Awww!
What was even more creepy was that the number of other howls responding to that howl continued to increase.
“This is driving me crazy. It seems like the numbers are increasing right now. Are you really summoning werewolves?”
El Palm Party’s expression turned pale as he knew what it meant.
“Is that possible?”
“Honestly, I don’t believe it either.”
In fact, even at this moment, no one, including Divo, could quite believe El Palm’s words.
That would be the case, as werewolves were very powerful monsters.
One werewolf is said to be stronger than a hundred White Fangs or Hectors combined.
The increase in the number of werewolves was like the increase in the number of boss-level monsters.
It is unlikely that such words will be easily believed.
Of course, that doesn’t mean I didn’t believe it at all.
Because none other than El Palm said so.
“But if it’s true, it’s real hell.”
So everyone’s expressions were stiff.
El Palm’s expression was the same.
His expression was also hardened.
“boss.”
At that expression, Divo spoke cautiously.
“Don’t hesitate.”
Gave advice.
“Don’t hesitate when someone needs to make a sacrifice, because no one else will hesitate.”
Rather than doing something reckless to save everyone, find the most efficient way to sacrifice.
El Palm tilted his head at that advice.
“sacrifice?”
“Yes. Isn’t that the situation? The worst case scenario.”
Instead of answering those words, El Palm just laughed.
“Not really.”
“yes?”
“It’s not exactly the worst situation.”
His colleagues were horrified at those words.
“No, boss? You said that lycanthrope can summon werewolves indefinitely?”

“That’s right. If that’s not the worst, then what is?”
“There will be hundreds, maybe thousands of werewolves rushing at you.”
If El Palm’s words are true, it would be the worst, in and of itself.
El Palm spoke calmly about it.
“It’s not a good situation, but it’s not a problem.”
Of course, those words weren’t just empty boasts.
Lycanthropes were clearly troublesome monsters.
Also, this wasn’t the kind of guy that would come out of the 150-person green-grade Mystic Gate. It wouldn’t have been strange if it had appeared as a boss monster in the blue-grade.
Yet the reason El Palm said this was simple.
“He is weak to fire.”
“Fire?”
“It appears to be particularly weak to fire attributes.”
The weakness of lycanthrope is none other than fire attribute attacks.
“ah.”
The moment they heard that story, everyone, including Devo, could not help but be convinced.
“Then it won’t be difficult.”
El Palm, he had the talent of an all-master who could use magic of all attributes, but he was best at using fire attribute magic.
Also, the most powerful magic was fire attribute magic.
A monster weak to fire attribute magic appeared to him?
Of course, it wasn’t an easy opponent.
Lycanthropes are powerful monsters that can turn an area into hell with just one lycanthrope!
It was a monster among monsters, whose life could never be guaranteed if even the slightest mistake was made.
But El Palm was different.
He is a man who cannot tolerate even the slightest mistake.
It’s strange to doubt his hunting like that.
Instead, I had a question.
“But why were you worried?”
El Palm’s face was clearly filled with worry.
He told me why.
“It’s because of the Wolf King.”
“The Wolf King?”
At that point, everyone naturally thought of it.
“Are you a lycanthrope?”
El Palm, because he used the term wolf king when describing lycanthropes.
“No, it’s a different Wolf King.”
“Other? Then?”
However, the Wolf King El Palm was talking about here was not a lycanthrope.
“That Wolf King of the Wolf Mercenaries?”
Wolf King Pao.
The moment that name was mentioned, everyone began to question it again.
No matter how much I thought about it, there was absolutely no reason to worry about Wolf King Pao here.
‘ah.’
But soon everyone remembered.
“Boss, really?”
“Is Wolf King Pao waiting outside?”
What does the Wolf King Pao that El Palm spoke of mean?
“If it were me, I would prepare to that extent.”
It was not at all strange that the Wolf King Pao had already come all the way to the Forest of Dead Trees to capture El Palm Party and was moving to finish it off.
Rather, it was a rational choice.
That means the moment you leave here, you’ll have to deal with Wolf King Pao and his men.
That was why El Palm’s expression hardened.
“Once you go out, that’s when it starts.”
El Palm had already taken it for granted that he would conquer this place and leave.
For El Palm, the important thing was what kind of preparations he made before leaving there.
It was a difficult dilemma.
‘It’s more hell outside.’
Monsters can be conquered if there is a strategy to conquer them, but adventurers and outlaws are different.
What’s more, the opponent is the Wolf King Pao?
Even if El Pham wears Zakum’s helmet, it is difficult to estimate the odds of winning against the skilled fighter of the 6th Circle.
Even if you were to guess, it was only a matter between Wolf King Pao and El Pham.
Wolf King Pao had an even more powerful subordinate.
‘That can’t be the end.’
There were countless people outside targeting El Palm, including the Wolf King Pao.
Run away through them all?
Honestly, I didn’t see a way right away.
So the idea was to find a way out of this, which frankly seemed even more impossible.
‘It won’t be easy just to survive.’
Isn’t this a place where you’re grateful to get out alive?
In that moment, filled with agony in many ways, the first person to give an answer was none other than that guy.
Qyuu!
“agate?”
Mano, who had been hiding inside Kiri’s armor, revealed himself with a louder sound than ever before.
Qyuu!
“Why is he like this?”
Looking more excited than ever.
“What did you eat wrong?”
Everyone tilted their heads at that sight.
Although Mano has shown many appearances up until now, this was the first time he looked this excited.
There was one exception.
El Palm, his eyes narrowed.
‘Snail pets react to items.’
If Mano is this excited right now, there can be only one reason.
‘Aran’s item.’
A bait spread by the followers of the Black Mage to turn this place into hell.
‘As expected, you brought the real thing.’
Here El Palm did not question the fact that the followers of the Black Mage had not laid a fake.
If it were common sense, it would have been clearly a strange thing.
Aran’s item isn’t just a simple item, but the real thing is placed inside the Mystic Gate?
Wouldn’t it be much smarter to put in a fake?
But El Palm was different.
He knew.
‘The goal is to catch Aran.’
That what they want isn’t just to turn adventurers and outlaws into corpses.
If that was the goal from the beginning, there would have been no need to use such a complicated method or take out Aran’s items.
If the followers of the Black Mage wanted, they could burn all the adventurers in the world right now.
The reason they couldn’t do that was because they had a more lofty goal, a more important goal.
And Aran, the hero of Polarm, was one of the greatest threats that could destroy such a lofty goal.
This was all a trap to catch her.
‘The moment you get caught using a fake, Aran won’t show up.’
In that situation, if it was discovered that Aran’s item was fake, there would be no reason for Aran to appear.
This plan is to create a storm because of Aran’s real items.
But adventurers and outlaws will no longer throw themselves into this bloodbath for the sake of a fake.
In the end, I had to write the real thing.
‘But I didn’t expect this level of reaction.’
But Mano being this excited was something El Palm had never experienced before.
‘Legendary grade and above.’
That means the item you’re looking for now isn’t just a simple legendary grade.
It wasn’t strange.
While Legendary rank is great in its own right, they aren’t all created equal.
Even within that grade there were levels.
It wasn’t just about the level of the item.
‘This is an item that contains Aran’s soul.’
The adventurer who used that item, how much of that adventurer’s soul is contained in it.
The fact that Mano is reacting to this degree means that it is definitely one of the three most important items Aran has.
In any case, there was no reason to hesitate.
Qyuu!
If there’s an item that Mano is this excited about, then retrieving it is a priority.
Of course El Palm knew.
“From now on, everyone just follow me.”
Oww!
If you move around freely in the lycanthrope’s territory, you’ll end up in an all-out war before you can even find the item.
It was also a burden for El Palm.
The hunting he speaks of is something that is only possible from the hunter’s perspective.
If an all-out war were to break out, then even El Palm would not be able to easily guarantee his own life or death.
Lycanthropes were such tough monsters.
El Palm felt that fact more keenly than any other adventurer in the world.
It was heartbreaking to see countless of my comrades die while being chased by a pack of lycanthropes.
It was thanks to that.
‘It’s not difficult to figure out the lycanthrope’s territory.’
El Palm learned the hard way how to avoid lycanthropy.
Qyuu!
With such activities by El Palm and with Mano’s guidance, the El Palm party was soon able to reach its destination.
“This?”
A corpse buried in a blizzard.
Qyuu!
And the one ring the corpse was holding.
“Divo.”
The moment El Palm found the ring, he handed it over to Divo without hesitation.
Because only Divo, who had the qualifications to use Aran’s items, could know the value of those items.
“yes.”
Devo also knew the reason, so he put the ring on his finger without hesitation and immediately infused it with magic.
Everyone watched the process with bated breath.
‘What kind of skill is it?’
Smash Swing, one of Aran’s skills that Divo had previously used, boasted merciless destructive power.
But what if there was a skill that was even more powerful than that?
It’s hard to even imagine.
gulp!
At that moment when everyone was so tense, Divo opened his eyes wide and said.
“Boss, this!”
Everyone’s eyes widened at the sight, and Divo spoke to them.
“It seems like a dud?”
At those words, all of the colleagues tilted their heads.
Because I couldn’t understand what Divo was saying at all.
“You said it was a dud?”
“Hey, what the hell are you talking about?”
“What are you talking about?”
And soon, his colleagues who understood were startled and spoke one by one, and Divo spoke to them.
“No, that’s a dud! I injected magic power into it, but there was no reaction!”
“Are you kidding me?”
“Hey, Golden Eye! Why are you joking with me at this crucial moment?”
“There really is no response?”
“doesn’t exist!”
Everyone’s expressions hardened at the continued explanation.
Did you ever think something like this would happen?
Of course, he was an exception.
“Divo.”
“Yes? Yes, go ahead.”
El Palm, he said, taking off the Zakum hat he was wearing and handing it to Divo.
“From now on, just catch 50 White Fangs or Hectors.”
“yes?”
“There are 50.”
Debo looked like he didn’t understand the explanation, and El Palm spoke to him.
“The skill of the item you obtained will be a combo ability.”
“Combo ability?”
“Your abilities will be strengthened every time you kill 50 monsters. This is the skill that made Aran the hero of Polarm.”
