Chapter 63. Leviathan (4)

8.

“You set it too low.”

The moment they heard El Palm’s words, everyone, including Divo, had a blank expression.

‘What is this sound?’

El Palm told them again and again.

“It’s more than I thought. That’s why I came forward. There’s no reason to test it against Leviathan.”

What El Palm wanted to see was the limitations of his colleagues.

And in El Palm’s view, Leviathan was unable to properly demonstrate the limitations of his comrades.

‘I knew it would be like this.’

In fact, even from El Palm’s perspective, that was unexpected.

‘I didn’t know it would be pickled this perfectly.’

Growing your skills and mastering those skills perfectly are two completely different things.

And it was much harder to digest.

But El Palm’s colleagues had everything completed.

It was not the result of effort or hard work.

‘Overwhelming talent.’

What they were born with was the result of what they created.

In fact, that’s why El Palm didn’t notice.

El Palm’s standards were before he returned to the past, but looking back now, they didn’t really show any real talent back then.

“Hahaha!”

The colleagues who understood the meaning of El Palm’s words soon relaxed their facial expressions and burst into laughter.

“Even the boss is surprised! At this changed appearance of Divo!”

“Hey, don’t be so mean. I could tell you were going to die, so I helped you, but it seems like you’re just trying to save face.”

Because being recognized by El Palm, of all people, was what everyone wanted the most.

“Yeah, I was surprised.”

‘If I’m with these people.’

Of course they didn’t know.

‘You can conquer that place.’

The fact that my colleagues’ skills are beyond my imagination also means that the hardships and adversities they will face are also beyond my imagination.

Anyway, the colleagues were happy, but that joy did not last long.

Qyuu!

Because there was a sound that interrupted their joy.

“agate?”

Qyuu!

Mano suddenly jumped out of El Palm’s body and headed towards Leviathan’s corpse with all his might.

“ah!”

Only then did everyone remember.

‘Poseidon’s Ring!’

The reason why I came here.

And the reason was quickly brought to us by Snail Mano.

Qyuu!

Mano took a ring that seemed to be made of ice from Leviathan’s corpse.

El Palm picked up the ring.

‘different.’

And the moment he picked it up, El Palm felt like it was the helmet of Hyperion or the heart of the Hydra.

I felt an overwhelming aura.

Of course, there was no hesitation.

El Palm put on the ring right away. And used it at the same time.

“Cold beam.”

So everyone could see it.

“Huh? Boss? The cold beam size is… … a little bigger than usual?”

“Hey, is this a little big? Just looking at it, it looks like it’s three times bigger than the one I usually use!”

Cold beam magic that is almost human-sized.

It was the power of Poseidon’s ring.

“I think what we got this time was an increase in size.”

Makes all ice attribute magic nearly 3 times larger!

“wait.”

And soon everyone realized.

“So does that mean Blizzard magic will also increase in power? By three times?”

What does it mean that El Palm was given this ring of Poseidon?

“oh my god.”

My colleagues are shocked by that fact.

El Palm, on the other hand, was different.

‘Not as expected.’

Although it was a great item, it wasn’t as good as the legendary item obtained earlier by El Palm standards.

It was true that as the ice attribute magic increased, its power also became stronger.

‘It’s hard to handle.’

However, for El Palm, who uses telekinesis, the fact that ice magic, which was already difficult to use, was tripled in power was not that attractive of an element.

‘There’s nothing wrong with that.’

Of course, I wasn’t refusing.

‘Because you can handle it.’

Because if you make something difficult not difficult, it becomes more meaningful.

Above all, El Palm knew.

‘There will be plenty of opportunities to practice in the future.’

Now is not the time to worry, it’s time to move on.

“Then let’s go out now.”

9.

The first thing that the El Palm Party encountered as they emerged from the Mystic Gate was none other than the Mechanic’s metal armor.

The metal armors were aiming their huge gatling guns at the El Palm party.

“Everyone, raise your hands!”

And El Palm Party was raising its hands before even hearing those words, as if it had been expecting it.

“Arrest him!”

The resistance quickly suppressed the El Palm party.

They took his weapon away and handcuffed him.

It was a reasonable measure.

The Mystic Gate was attacked without permission from the Resistance’s secret headquarters.

It was because it was El Palm Party that they were arrested.

If it had been any other adventurer, instead of arrest, he would have been sentenced to summary judgment on the spot, that is, to death.

The imprisoned El Palm Party was then taken to a prison cell set up in the Resistance’s secret base.

No one was surprised by that fact.

‘As expected.’

Because this was all as El Palm had expected.

“El Palm, you have caused such a big problem.”

The appearance of Commander-in-Chief Sigmund along with other officers was also as El Palm had expected.

But the moment they appeared, El Palm’s eyes could not help but narrow for a moment.

Because something unexpected happened.

‘Cheryl?’

Cheryl, a Cross Hunter executive! She was with the Resistance executives.

‘why?’

It was certainly true that the Cross Hunters and the Resistance had a closer relationship than other groups.

Additionally, the headquarters of the Cross Hunters is hidden in the Edelstein Council, of all places.

In other words, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the Resistance and the Cross Hunters were practically neighbors.

But it wasn’t enough to warrant an invitation to the secret headquarters.

Moreover, Cheryl was not hiding her identity, but was openly revealing it.

‘Things have happened.’

It means that something has happened that El Palm doesn’t know about.

‘It’s a huge deal.’

Moreover, the scale of the situation meant that the Resistance and Cross Hunters would openly join hands.

So El Palm asked right away:

“What happened?”

There was no answer to that question.

“First, answer our question. Why did you attack Mystic Gate alone?”

Instead, El Palm gave an immediate answer to the question.

The hypothesis that I came up with.

And the monsters I encountered beyond the Mystic Gate and how I hunted them.

It wasn’t the whole truth.

“Leviathan was lucky. If it weren’t for that luck, they would have been wiped out.”

There were many adaptations, especially in the part where Leviathan was captured.

Of course, even so, it was a story that was quite absurd to the listener.

“oh my god.”

That was why everyone gathered there looked dumbfounded and lost in thought when El Palm’s story ended.

‘How big is the El Palm Party?’

In the end, the El Palm Party, a party of only five people, managed to conquer the 300-person Blue-rank Mystic Gate without any damage.

Because it was something that everyone risked their lives doing, and it was taken for granted so easily.

A distant memory.

“That’s it.”

But El Palm was okay with that.

“So now please answer my question.”

Because from El Palm’s point of view, there was something more important than that.

“great.”

Cheryl gave the answer to that.

“Something big has happened in Maple World right now.”

“What is it?”

“The method has been discovered.”

“method?”

“A way to find out the types of boss monsters and items beyond the Mystic Gate.”

El Palm’s expression hardened at that explanation.

‘This.’

It was certainly true that the Resistance had obtained information within the Mystic Gate.

However, this was information obtained through another route rather than by analyzing the Mystic Gate itself.

However, a method to obtain information about the Mystic Gate has been revealed throughout Maple World.

Of course, there may be a way.

In the first place, the Mystic Gate was a stage intentionally created by the followers of the Black Wizard.

Because it was an artificially created stage, the stage configuration could be changed at any time if necessary.

So that was the problem.

“The method is… … .”

“It’s obvious. It must have been spread by the followers of the Black Wizard.”

All of this is the work of the followers of the Black Wizard.

Of course, it was by no means a simple trick.

“I don’t know why.”

First of all, it was too difficult to figure out the intention.

The disclosure of this method is so obvious, but it is a huge opportunity for adventurers.

A chance to become stronger!

They will be going after Mystic Gate at a level that is beyond explosive and destructive.

At the same time, adventurers would grow at an incredible rate.

So the question was.

Because the adventurers who had become so strong would never thank the followers of the Black Mage for raising them so strong!

From the perspective of the followers of the Black Mage, it makes the enemies they have to face stronger.

However, it is unlikely that the followers of the Black Wizard would suddenly become Daddy-Long-Legs who wish for the development and growth of adventurers in Maple World.

“There is some very evil intention behind it.”

There was definitely an intention.

“But we can’t stop it.”

The problem was that Maple World had no choice but to go along with the actions of these followers of the Black Mage.

From now on, adventurers would go crazy trying to conquer Mystic Gate.

It would have been stupid not to do it.

In particular, the places where many people have already failed, that is, places where many items are sleeping, will be conquered very quickly.

And that would soon become an opportunity for adventurers to become stronger.

What’s next?

Stronger adventurers will be able to attack higher level Mystic Gates.

The results were already there.

“Right now, the green-grade and blue-grade Mystic Gate conquests are exploding.”

Adventurers above the 5th Circle who had been putting off conquering the Mystic Gate because they were more concerned about their lives than anything else are now starting to actively participate in conquering the Mystic Gate.

Maple World is beginning to change.

That’s why Cross Hunters and the Resistance joined hands.

In order to enter an era that we have never seen before, we have no choice but to join hands.

And that’s why Cheryl came here.

That fact complicated El Palm’s mind.

‘This has never happened before.’

A situation he has never experienced before.

And it was a huge situation.

Because from now on, changes and shocks that surpass those when the Mystic Gate appeared will come.

‘But one thing is certain.’

That is why El Palm did not try to analyze this situation. Even if he tried, he could not. In the current situation, analysis is not analysis, but just an extremely personal delusion.

That is, there was one fact to be seen here.

‘The door will open soon.’

It won’t be long before the Mystic Gate opens and the monsters inside it burst out into the world.

And when that time comes, everyone in Maple World will have to fight for their fate.

Faced with that clear fact, El Palm had only one thing to do.

Horntail!

Just catch it.

The moment he realized that fact, El Palm’s mind was no longer in chaos.

But that was only El Palm’s position; he couldn’t tell those in front of him what he knew.

And it went without saying.

“El Palm.”

Cross Hunters and the Resistance, they came here for one reason.

“I need your help.”
