Chapter 54. Celestial Chryse (3)

6.

Michael, as expected of a giant, was huge, reaching a height of over 4 meters, or even 5 meters.

That wasn’t all.

Michael’s armored body was so muscular that anyone who looked at it could clearly see that he had been trained.

It is incomparable to his boyish appearance.

So it was more intimidating.

Divo’s presence facing such a Michael could not help but be very weak.

To be honest, if you just look at it from the outside, it just looks like an adult and a child are fighting.

“It’s not too late. Admit defeat. I never learned how to control my strength in battle.”

Even from Michael’s perspective, he was worried about Divo.

At those words, Debo clenched his teeth.

“There’s nothing I can do.”

Seeing her determined appearance, Michael didn’t say anything more.

The two swung their weapons at each other.

WHEEK!

That’s how the battle began.

The beginning was quite fierce.

Kaang!

Divo’s polearm showed no sign of being pushed back by the huge sword wielded by Michael.

Kaang!

Of course, the number of times it lasted was only five.

“Hoo!”

From the sixth attack onwards, Devo did not meet the sword wielded by Michael with his polearm.

WHEEK!

Instead, he moved his body around to avoid Michael’s attacks.

The skill of avoiding was quite good.

But Michael wasn’t particularly surprised or upset by that fact. There was no reason for him to be.

‘You’re using tricks because you’re outnumbered.’

The fact that Devo came out like this was proof that Michael was in a very advantageous position right now.

Above all, in a situation where he was outnumbered, Michael only had to do one thing.

Swish!

Instead of swinging his sword, Michael held the shield he was holding in front of him, completely covering his body.

‘There’s no way you can break through my shield when you’re outnumbered.’

If the attack doesn’t work, there’s virtually no point in fighting anymore.

Divo’s feet stopped at Michael’s choice.

Like facing a wall.

In reality, from Divo’s perspective, the shield held up by the giant Michael was closer to a wall than a shield.

That was the moment.

Shhh!

Michael swung his sword at Divo, whose feet had stopped.

Although Debo belatedly raised his polearm in response to the surprise attack, it was meaningless.

Boom!

Devo flew away along with the polearm.

I heard it at the same time.

“Defeat! I admit defeat!”

El Palm, he quickly declared defeat on behalf of Divo, and Michael smiled bitterly at that declaration.

“I acknowledge your courage in pointing your polearm at me and fighting to the end.”

With those words, Michael left his seat.

After that, Devo did not wake up.

“Divo.”

Only after El Palm approached did Divo open his mouth.

“How is my acting?”

“It was great.”

Only then did Debo finally get up from his seat.

There was discontent in his expression as he awoke. It couldn’t have been otherwise.

“It was worth it to give it my all in acting.”

Because there isn’t a single warrior in this world who enjoys losing on purpose.

Moreover, Debo did not just give in, but gave in with all his might so as not to show it.

Something that makes me feel even worse in many ways.

“But why do I have to give in?”

Crucially, Divo had not heard the reason.

El Palm explained the question.

“Right now, Michael has a party ready to secure the core. But if we had won against Michael, the elders would not have allowed Michael’s party to take action. On the other hand, if we leave it like this, they will move to find the core on their own.”

Debo frowned slightly at that explanation.

El Palm’s plan was quite understandable.

“boss.”

But there was a problem.

“He’s at best a 4th circle level.”

That Michael’s abilities could never reach the core.

“I guarantee it.”

I can say this with certainty because I have personally dealt with it.

“Know.”

“yes?”

Of course, El Palm already knew that fact.

It wasn’t even the moment I saw it.

“If I had the ability, I would have achieved results long ago.”

If Michael and his companions had the ability to reach the core, the conclusion would have already been reached.

Either the core has already been secured or Michael’s party has been wiped out.

“We will continue to try.”

That doesn’t mean that Michael Party didn’t do anything.

“The gaze did not die.”

Because Michael’s eyes were burning brightly, unlike the other giants who had already given up on life.

I would have tried again and again.

“I will challenge it soon.”

Debo was further puzzled by El Palm’s explanation.

“But isn’t it going to fail anyway?”

Even if I try this time, I will end up failing just the same.

“No, this time it’s different.”

“different?”

But El Palm was different.

“You’ll be lucky.”

“yes?”

El Palm said to his colleagues who were tilting their heads at the explanation.

“With luck, there will be fewer monsters than usual.”

7.

It has been a hundred years since the Celestial Crise was isolated from the world.

When the problem first arose, the giants of Chryse tried everything they could to solve it.

But as time went by, they continued to fail, and soon gave up everything and lived on.

In other words, those who had less time passed were different.

The boys and young men of Chrissy did so.

Having just been born, they were full of the will to do anything to change the current situation.

“Michael!”

At the center of it all was none other than Michael.

“What happened?”

“It was nothing.”

The reason Michael became the center was simple.

“As expected! He is worthy of being the best warrior in Chris!”

That you have the best skills.

“Now those adventurers won’t show off anymore.”

So no one was surprised when they heard the story of Michael subduing a group of adventurers who had suddenly appeared.

“I will try again soon. To where the core is.”

“what?”

But Michael’s words were different.

Everyone was surprised.

“suddenly?”

There have been several attempts to secure the core, but no proper results have been achieved so far.

Of course, I planned to continue to challenge myself in the future.

That’s why they were gathered together.

But why are you suddenly taking on this challenge now?

“It is said that a group of adventurers hunted a herd of gerbils and golden gerbils. There may not have been many, but they must have caught quite a few.”

But everyone’s eyes changed as the explanation continued.

“It means that their population has decreased now.”

“How good are they?”

“They may not be as ignorant as I am, but they are still people who know nothing. They must have come up with pretty good results.”

If Michael’s words are true, then in a sense this is the best opportunity of all.

“Even if that’s not the case, I’ve already had enough rest. If I waste any more time, the number of monsters will increase.”

Crucially, Michael and his companions undertook regular expeditions to reduce the monster population, and now was the time.

“good.”

That’s why, once Michael finished explaining, no one asked any more questions.

No preparation was necessary.

Because everyone was already fully prepared.

“I will move right away.”

“good!”

Everyone moved straight towards the core.

The first gate was outside of Crise.

A place full of gerbils and golden gerbils!

“uh?”

Michael Paty knew it as soon as he set foot there.

“There are no baby rabbits?”

Gerbils and golden gerbils, those ferocious rabbits, are rarely seen as usual.

I expected it.

I expected the adventurers who came here to hunt gerbils and golden gerbils, so I came.

“What? Why can’t I see a single one?”

However, it was completely unexpected that gerbils and golden gerbils would be hunted to this extent.

Of course, Michael Party thought.

“Could it be that they caught them all?”

“No way. You have to make sense.”

El Palm Party would never have caught a herd of gerbils.

“If we can’t do it, how can these little humans do it?”

So the doubts grew deeper.

If not, then why have the gerbils and golden gerbils that used to be abundant here disappeared?

“everyone.”

Michael said to his questioning colleagues.

“I guess that’s fine.”

Don’t worry about it.

“Now is the chance. The chance not to fight a pack of gerbils. That’s what’s important.”

His colleagues nodded at Michael’s words.

“Then let’s move to the next area.”

In this way, Michael led his companions out of the outskirts of Chryse without any significant fighting.

“It’s a lawless zone.”

The place they arrived at after that was what the giants of Chryse called the Lawless Zone.

It wasn’t called that originally.

After the celestial Crise was broken into pieces, each region needed a new name, so they were given one.

Of course, the fact that it was called a lawless zone meant that it was a dangerous place.

“Be careful of the scope.”

The one who made the place dangerous was none other than the scorpion monster, Scorpi.

It wasn’t just any scorpion.

They were huge scorpions with powerful venom, and most importantly, they wore giant helmets like armor.

This means that it is not easy to even cause damage with a moderate attack.

“Because I backed out of here last time too.”

It was actually one of the monsters that gave Michael’s party a hard time.

A monster that requires preparation in many ways.

That’s why Michael Party, who entered the lawless zone with determination, was able to face it right away.

Char!

“Scopied!”

A horde of giant scorpion monsters.

The moment I saw it, I had no more questions or worries.

“Prepare for battle!”

That didn’t work either.

“From now on, we will fight until the end!”

Because there was no time to worry or doubt before the battle with Scorpius, whose end was unknown.

In other words, everyone was prepared.

Be prepared to fight all day long.

Kaang!

“uh?”

But that determination didn’t last long.

“Is this all?”

After 30 minutes of fighting, the Scorpion herd was no longer visible.

“what?”

In the past, even if you fought all day, you would run away because a group of Scorpions would come rushing in.

This time again, Michael provided the answer to that question.

“It is an opportunity.”

“opportunity?”

“The opportunity to move without fighting is one that must not be missed.”

Don’t even have any doubts this time.

“It’s your chance to go to the Colosseum.”

Let’s take this opportunity to go to the Colosseum, the stadium of Chryse, which we have never entered before.

The moment they heard those words, the eyes of Michael’s colleagues changed.

‘Colosseum.’

‘A place no giant has ever reached before.’

The fact that they had the opportunity to reach places they had never reached before excited them, thrilled them.

Of course, that was a risky thing.

The fact that no one has reached it so far means that it is a dangerous place.

It also meant that there might be some danger.

But those here were different.

They were young.

No, he was young, beyond young, and full of energy.

‘We’re saving Chris.’

Their overflowing enthusiasm gave them courage.

So there was no hesitation.

“Let’s move.”

Everyone, including Michael, headed straight to the next stage.

And where they disappeared, a group appeared.

“It looks very dangerous when you see what you’re doing.”

El Palm Party, one of them, Divo, looked at the departing Michael Party with a crumpled expression.

“How can you yell like that without even looking back?”

Not being intoxicated by courage was one of the virtues of an adventurer.

From the perspective of such an adventurer, the courageous Michael party was a party that went on a very dangerous adventure.

Of course, everyone, including Devo, thought about it.

“If it weren’t for the boss, I might have died.”

As long as El Palm is there, they will not be in danger.

It had to be that way.

“Monsters are just laughable in front of a boss who has adapted well.”

Currently, El Palm’s abilities were at a level where even the most powerful monsters wouldn’t be able to do anything.

And El Palm demonstrated this fact himself.

While Michael’s party was capturing the Scorpions they had encountered for 30 minutes, El Palm annihilated the Scorpions surrounding them.

So quiet that Michael’s party couldn’t even be detected.

This is literally on a whole other level!

“Don’t relax.”

Of course, that didn’t mean El Palm let his guard down in the slightest.

Because I didn’t know what kind of problems would arise.

El Palm’s colleagues also nodded their heads at his words.

It’s a fact that every adventurer knows: it’s better to be cautious than to let your guard down.

In other words, I thought to myself.

‘There won’t be a problem.’

No matter what happens, there won’t be a problem.

It definitely was.

Until you reach the area where the Colosseum, the great stadium of Celestial Chryse, is located, following the Michael Party.

Until then, everyone thought there would be no problem.

“There is a change of plans.”

Only one, El Palm, was different.

“Huh? Change of plans?”

“Escape with Michael’s party.”

“Escape? What is that… … .”

He knew it the moment he saw the traces near the Colosseum.

“Xerxes, he is here.”
