Chapter 57. Zakum (6)
15.
Six heroes who sealed the black wizard.
They were the most brilliant beings to everyone, including adventurers in Maple World.
Because they, the six heroes, brought back Maple World, which had practically fallen into the hands of the Black Wizard.
“The six heroes disappeared from the world the moment they sealed the Black Wizard. Without even a trace.”
Moreover, the six heroes were brilliant even in their final moments.
That’s why they shined even brighter, and that’s why all adventurers in Maple World yearned for and admired the six heroes.
‘Aran.’
It was the same with Devo.
‘I wanted to try it once.’
Of course, the feelings Divo harbored were not so much admiration as a desire to compete.
There was nothing strange.
There is not a single person in Maple World who would make fun of you for fighting against six heroes.
It was a profitable business even after experiencing a crushing defeat.
‘It’s worth a try.’
In other words, Divo had enough confidence in his own abilities to harbor such thoughts.
This too was not strange.
Devo was showing one of the fastest growth rates in Maple World history.
I even used Aran’s items here.
‘The six heroes may be monsters, but the boss is also a monster. There’s no reason to be afraid.’
Crucially, Divo has seen and experienced El Palm up close, a monster as much as the six heroes.
If you don’t have confidence, that’s strange.
It wasn’t just Divo that was like that.
‘Let’s go crazy and run wild.’
‘I’ll do my best today.’
‘The hero of Polarm, if I just pull the trigger here, there’s no way the Master will leave me alone.’
‘If you’re a hero of Polarm, you’ll definitely pay back the debt. I’m already excited to see how much you’ll have to spend!’
Everyone was ready to go wild.
Easy!
But that thought subsided in front of El Palm’s magic that began to fly at some point.
bang!
‘uh?’
What flew in was none other than Fire Arrow, El Palm’s most frequently used and effective magic.
‘Is this Fire Arrow?’
But the destructive power was on a different level and dimension than anything they had ever seen before.
‘What was that cannon sound?’
It was far beyond the scope of arrows.
“Element Amplification.”
The reason was the passive skill I just used, Element Amplification.
The effect is that all attack magic damage increases by 50%, but magic consumption increases by 50%.
It was a very difficult skill to obtain as it was a unique grade skill.
And even if you were to obtain it, it was a skill that was not easy to use.
The increased magical power consumption did not just mean that magical power would decrease quickly.
In terms of running, it was twice as fast as usual. Twice as fast as he could run at his fastest speed. Naturally, the burden and damage on his body was twice as much, or even more.
The bigger problem was that the power of magic increased by 50 percent.
Just as there is a huge difference between throwing a heavy stone and throwing a light stone, as the power of magic increased, using magic became much more difficult.
But then it suddenly becomes 50 percent stronger?
At this point, it’s like a runaway.
In fact, El Palm has rarely used the Element Amplification skill so far.
‘But it’s becoming difficult to handle with telekinesis.’
Magic that started to run wild like this was practically impossible for even El Palm to handle properly.
But now it was different.
‘There’s no need for fine control against something that big.’
Zakum, that guy was so big that you could just close your eyes and fire your magic at him.
And there were no weaknesses.
The only way was to just keep pounding and breaking it.
Of course, hunting usually doesn’t end with just hitting the target.
Any monster would basically chase down the most lethal target to itself first.
This means that if you unleash a powerful attack, El Palm will become the target.
‘You don’t have to worry about me.’
But now, with the great hero before him, El Palm had no reason to worry about such things.
“Fire Arrow.”
Then, from El Palm’s perspective, all he has to do is keep casting spells without stopping.

Kwakwang!
Viola, when she heard that sound, everyone, including her, knew.
That sound is coming from none other than Zakum.
At the same time they thought.
“It looks like someone is making a sacrifice.”
Someone deliberately threw themselves at Zakum to buy time for his comrades to escape.
That’s why it makes that sound.
“Let’s get away faster.”
That’s why everyone who heard the sound, including Viola, moved faster to make their sacrifice meaningful.
They had no time to shed tears for their dead comrades or to worry about whether or not to help them.
It wasn’t just a metaphor.
“You never know when Zakum will come chasing you.”
Because they’ll only have a few breaths to stop Zakum.
Because Zakum was that formidable a being.
Viola and her companions ran away with even more strength.
Boom!
The sounds of battle were heard again and again in their ears.
Boom!
Even after running away for quite some time.
Even after Zakum was so far away that he could no longer be seen properly.
Boom!
At that point, everyone turned their heads once and looked in the direction where Zakum had been, wondering.
‘Who the hell are you?’
Who on earth could possibly withstand Zakum for such a long period of time?
“Viola.”
Naturally, some people spoke.
“Shouldn’t I help?”
If there is someone who can endure that well, then wouldn’t it be better to go hunting Zakum again?
It was a reasonable thought.
The abandoned mine expedition team was now fleeing and had regained some of their strength.
Of course, the Knights of Signus, including Viola, had a mission.
That I must leave my will here.
In other words, if I did that, I would have no intention of surviving here any longer.
Boom!
If you look at it that way, this situation where someone is stopping Zakum would be a good time to risk their life.
Viola also fully considered that possibility.
“It could be a trap.”
But she also had other possibilities in mind.
“It’s a trap to make a fuss and gather the rest.”
Everyone nodded at her words.
The traitors who came here used methods that were far beyond common sense.
There was nothing strange about doing what Viola said.
Of course, the possibility mentioned above was not impossible.
“So, let’s check… … .”
So Viola, the moment she was about to move, that was the moment.
Kwaarrung!
There was a huge, thunderous sound that turned the atmosphere upside down, like the crash of huge boulders.
And it appeared.
Phew!
“damage!”
A single giant beam of light extending in all directions.
The reason, of course, was Zakum.
The moment Zakum clapped his hands, a huge laser beam shot out from the center of Zakum.
So long that I can’t see the end.
And it unfolded.
Hurrrrr!
The area around Zakum became a sea of fire.
A sea of fire so large that it could be seen from a distance.
The moment they saw it, Viola and everyone else no longer had any worries.
‘This…….’
17.
‘I can’t catch this.’
Zakum, it was at the moment his sixth arm was broken that he suddenly showed a different pattern.
He clapped his hands with his remaining two, and at that moment, there was a crack of thunder and a flash of light like a bolt of lightning.
Hurrrrr!
And the earth was engulfed in flames.
It was a distant sight.
‘Dangerous.’
A sight that makes everyone think, “This is unattainable” the moment they see it.
‘If the boss hadn’t told me, it would have been really dangerous.’
However, the reason El Palm’s party was not greatly affected was because of the advice given by none other than El Palm.
The moment you have only two hands left, Zakum will clap his hands, and at that moment, stop everything you are doing and lie down.
After dodging the rays like that, watch out for the flames rising from the ground.
And he said,
So, after avoiding them well, continue hunting.
Of course, this was crazy talk.
The land is a sea of fire, and you want to hunt Zakum, of all people, in this sea of fire?
But El Palm Party thought differently.
‘The fire is weaker than you think.’
Although it became a sea of fire, not all of the land became a sea of fire.
Also, the power of the flames was not that strong.
Ultimately, everyone knew.
‘I only have two hands.’
With only two of the fearsome Zakum’s arms left, there was no reason to be afraid.
“let’s go!”
That is why El Palm Party rushed towards Zakum without hesitation.
Of course, so did she.
Aran!
She leaped into the air, easily dodging Zakum’s attacks, and then immediately jumped over Zakum’s body, continuously breaking his arms with her polearm.
Boom!
With each movement of her polearm, pieces of Zakum’s body began to fall everywhere.
The rest of the arm wasn’t in good shape either.
“Slash Blust!”
While Devo was dealing with that arm, Kiri and Miner kept attacking without stopping.
‘If I lose my arm, it’s over.’
I thought this was the last time.
It was natural.
The reason Zakum was so terrifying was none other than his eight arms!
There was no reason to fear Zakum without arms.
‘If I lose my arm.’
Of course, El Palm was different.
‘Hell begins.’
The real fear of Zakum comes after his arm is gone.
In fact, it was impossible to catch such a Zakum.
It was the same even before El Palm returned to the past.
At the time, I didn’t know anything about Zakum, so I thought that if I just broke all of his arms, everything would be over.
‘Zakum is gone.’
But the moment he broke all of his arms, Zakum showed.
‘That huge body jumps.’
A wondrous sight of him using his entire body to crush his enemies.
It was impossible to catch a Zakum like that.
You only have one chance to attack, just before Zakum hits the ground and leaps up, and at that moment you rush at him?
Attaching to Zakum’s body was also tantamount to suicide.
Actually, I couldn’t catch it even then.
‘He ran away, and in the process, Zakum himself was destroyed.’
It’s just that the Zakum here is weaker than the Zakum in the real mine, so it broke from the repeated impacts.
Thanks to that, five people were lucky enough to survive and tell the story of Zakum to Maple World.
‘It’s different now.’
Of course, El Palm had no intention of surviving in the same way as before.
No, that didn’t survive.
As luck would have it, surviving the same way this time was like leaving fate to the heavens.
‘The traitors would never tolerate that.’
What was worse was that those who were trying to ruin his luck were still here, hiding.
In such a dire situation, El Palm had no intention of wasting his life on chance.
Of course there was a way.
The moment the worst comes, there is a way to end it all.
And the worst moment that El Palm had been waiting for arrived quickly, really quickly.
thud!
Zakum’s seventh arm was broken.
The destroyer is Aran, the hero of Polarm!
Of course, she didn’t stop there, but immediately moved to the next arm, the one she had left.
The condition of that one remaining arm was also not normal due to the fierce attack of El Palm Party. It was practically as good as completely collapsed.
Boom!
The moment Aran’s polearm slammed down on that arm, the last arm broke and collapsed like a mirage.
Zakum!
It was the moment when all the arms he had were broken, and at that moment, everyone, including Devo, screamed.
“finished!”
Cheers for victory.
It was a well-deserved cheer.
“I caught Zakum!”
In the history of Maple World, there have only been a handful of people who have earned the title of Destroyer of Zakum.
That’s why the El Palm Party cheered.
Actually, that was a mistake.
Because El Palm always taught his colleagues.
It ain’t over till it’s over, cheers are for after you’ve made it out of the Mystic Gate alive and the feast is just around the corner.
But in front of the overwhelming title of Zakum’s Destroyer, even El Palm Party had no choice but to forget his teachings for a moment.
That was why.
thud!
“uh?”
It was only later that El Palm Party noticed the changes in Zakum’s body.
“Zakum!”
Among them, Devo was the fastest.
He shouted at his colleagues.
“It’s going down into the ground!”
Kwakwakwakwa!
As soon as he finished speaking, Zakum, who had lost all his arms, let out a huge roar and began to sink into the ground.
In an instant, Zakum disappeared, and everyone’s expressions, including Divo’s, hardened at that fact.
‘It’s not over.’
It’s not like it’s over, but there may be a more difficult hurdle than what you’ve faced so far.
A huge shadow fell over the heads of the El Palm Party, which was filled with tension in that situation, and everyone raised their heads.
Then I could see.
Zakum appeared in the sky without me noticing.
The existence of that giant stone statue.
‘ah.’
The moment they saw it, El Palm Party couldn’t help but freeze.
I couldn’t even think about running away.
Because it was impossible to think properly in front of this sight that defied common sense.
Meanwhile, Zakum, who had appeared in the sky, attempted to fall.
To bring about an inevitable disaster.
Debo, who first came to his senses at that sight, wanted to shout.
“do…….”
Run away.
But no one could hear those words.
Kwaarrrrrr!
Because I heard a thunderous roar that shook the sky.
And with that thunderous sound, a huge lightning spear struck Zakum’s body.
