Chapter 69. Balrog Expedition (6)
15.
Kais.
The ability of the Poseidon necklace he wore was to triple the amount of all ice-attribute magic.
If you use Cold Beam, you will have three Cold Beams, and if you use Blizzard, the amount of Ice Spear will triple.
It was a simple ability.
But its power was never simple.
“Cold beam.”
Even if you only use Cold Beam, which can be considered the basic magic among ice attribute magic, its power is extraordinary.
That’s three cold beams being generated!
Of course, Kais didn’t stop there.
“This is the exit to the third floor.”
He also showed that he has outstanding adventurer skills.
Naturally, the moment he entered the third floor, he showed off his performance once again.
“Freezing Breath.”
Another powerful spell, Freezing Breath!
Kwakwakwakwa!
The moment I used that freezing breath, three ice dragons popped their heads out of the magic circle and spewed out a huge freezing breath.
I created an ice world in one breath.
In front of that overwhelming ice attribute magic, the monsters that appeared on the third floor, the Wild Cargo group, met their deaths without even being able to scream.
The adventurers were astonished by the truly overwhelming performance.
‘They can break it by themselves, right?’
They too were extraordinary adventurers, but what Kais showed was beyond dimension.
‘Thank goodness the author is our leader.’
And that amazement soon became overwhelming belief.
Now no one doubted Kais’s words any more.
That was it.
“I have something to say.”
“What do you want to say?”
“It’s important to say this.”
Kais, he said, quietly approaching a few adventurers.
“what do you mean?”
“There is a traitor among us.”
There wasn’t a single adventurer who doubted or questioned Kais’ words.
As I said before, it was impossible to doubt him.
“Someone detonated a bomb in the cave we were in. At that exact moment. That would be impossible without knowing our situation. They must have planted a traitor among us.”
Also, what Kais said was quite possible.
“I can’t deal with that traitor right away. I need that traitor’s power right now. So if I go and conquer this place, I plan to deal with the traitor then.”
In many ways.
Above all, Kais said.
“I don’t know your face or your name. But I saw you fighting on the front lines, risking your life. I think I can trust you.”
Words that make it impossible to follow him.
All the words that came before that statement were the same.
“I will follow you unconditionally.”
In this way, Kais gradually increased his followers, followers who would believe anything he said.
While hunting on the third floor, more than 180 adventurers had become followers of Kais.
At the same time, Kais was specific about that.
‘That guy is El Palm.’
Who is El Palm Party?
In fact, at that moment, everything was over. El Palm Party was now in a state where Kais could kill them at any time.
That was it.
“This is the exit to the 4th floor!”
The Demon King Balrog Expedition discovered the exit to the 4th floor.
And Kais felt that the time had come.
‘Get out of here and kill El Palm.’
16.
Kais, in the plan that Ivok had set for him, killing El Palm was after killing the Demon King Balrog.
The reason for making such a plan was simple.
“It doesn’t matter if I die without catching the Demon King Balrog. However, it feels awkward to leave El Palm behind even after catching the Demon King Balrog. I will definitely go out and kill him, and check his body.”
I don’t want to leave even the slightest possibility of the unknown.
Kais intended to proceed according to plan.
I was planning to keep El Palm alive until I captured the Demon King Balrog.
‘There is no need to do anything more on the 4th floor.’
From Kais’ point of view, the 4th floor was a meaningless stage.
Because all preparations had already been completed.

The 4th floor reached like that.
“huh?”
“Could this be?”
The adventurers couldn’t help but be surprised when they saw the monster waiting for them there.
“Ribbon Pig?”
Kkuuk kkuuk!
Ribbon Pig!
Because from the perspective of the adventurers here, it was a monster that was so ridiculously laughable.
Something that makes you laugh out loud.
But no one laughed in vain.
‘This is the 4th floor.’
Okay, I got it.
‘The 4th floor before the 5th floor where the Demon King Balrog is.’
‘There’s no way only ribbon pigs would come out.’
That’s not all.
There is a very high chance that a very scary monster, a monster you have never encountered before, will appear.
‘You can’t get hurt here.’
And in a situation where we need to conserve our power more than ever before in preparation for the Demon King Balrog.
That fact made me feel nervous.
It was around that time.
“leader.”
El Palm, he raised his hand.
The adventurers turned their heads at that fact.
That was it.
Adventurers’ interest in El Palm was not as great as when he first introduced Blizzard.
Because everything already revolved around leader Kais.
El Palm was just a slightly larger satellite orbiting around the sun-like leader Kais.
“I have a suggestion.”
The adventurers paid little attention to what followed.
Some people snorted.
‘What are you going to do?’
‘You just have to follow what the leader says.’
There was no need for suggestions like this for this Demon King Balrog Expedition.
“If you lend me the legendary items that the leader has, I will catch the Demon King Balrog.”
It was the same when that word came out.
The adventurer didn’t show any particular reaction.
“Huh, don’t talk nonsense… … .”
Because I heard it out of the blue.
Above all, what El Palm said was absurd.
Of course, it was only for a moment.
“what?”
The expressions of the adventurers who soon understood what El Palm had said began to fill with the word astonishment.
Finally, some people shouted.
“What the hell are you talking about!”
He vented his anger.
It was natural.
Even if you can’t give Leader Kais an item, you can borrow one of his items?
Will you catch the Demon King Balrog?
Beyond the ridiculous, it was in some sense a distraction.
That’s why I was angry.
‘That kid, by any chance?’
‘The traitor the leader spoke of?’
The adventurers thought that El Palm was a traitor who was interfering with the current conquest of Demon King Balrog.
When the thought reached that point, there was no longer any anger among the adventurers.
Silence fell.
‘here.’
‘Remove.’
Because no one would turn a blind eye to a traitor.
Because I was planning to deal with it right away.
But that intention was not followed through.
thud!
There was a loud noise, and everyone turned their heads at the sight.
And everyone could see.
“What is that?”
A huge, muscular pig walking on two legs.
The adventurers’ minds were reset by the appearance of the monster they had never seen before.
It didn’t turn white.
When faced with a monster, the most important thing for a veteran adventurer is to figure out a way to defeat it.
Everyone quickly started analyzing the monster.
‘It’s huge. It’s 7 meters tall.’
‘He’s incredibly muscular. He only looks like a pig, but it’s right to think of him as a giant.’
‘His fists are full of wounds. He is the one who crushes his target with those fists.’
“wait.”
And soon everyone was able to discover it.
“Is that a red ribbon around your neck? Is that a ribbon pig?”
17.
“Is that a ribbon pig?”
When those words came out, most adventurers who heard them looked dumbfounded.
One person, on the other hand, was different.
El Palm, he said.
“It’s a ribbon pig.”
“Huh? Boss, is that a ribbon pig?”
El Palm said to Debo, who was terrified by those words.
“It’s a deformed ribbon pig.”
At that explanation, Divo and his colleagues looked even more surprised.
If El Palm knows the name of that monster, it means he knows its characteristics.
“Are you strong?”
“Even Junior Balrog won’t easily attempt to hunt ten deformed ribbon pigs.”
But El Palm’s colleagues could not help but be astonished by the explanation that followed.
Junior Balok is now easily catching El Palm Party.
But even so, you avoid even those junior Balrogs?
It means that it is not of an ordinary level.
“There is no way to hold it. And there is no way to stop it.”
This fact was quickly realized by other adventurers as well.
ping!
The archers fired their arrows, and soon they were visible.
Ting!
“uh?”
The sight of the arrows they fired bouncing off the deformed ribbon pig’s body without even reaching it.
“oh my god.”
It means that you have a defensive power that goes beyond imagination.
“Everyone step back!”
At that point, leader Kais gave an order.
“It’s not too late to figure out the situation and take action!”
Kais’s voice was more serious than ever as he gave orders.
He also seemed surprised by this sudden situation.
Of course, Kais’s intentions were different.
‘As expected.’
He had known all along that a mutated ribbon pig would emerge from here.
I was just acting.
That way, adventurers will feel a sense of crisis when dealing with those ridiculous monsters, and as that sense of crisis grows, their dependence on Kais will increase.
‘El Palm, whatever tricks you play.’
It was unexpected that El Palm would suddenly make such a strange suggestion, but Kais didn’t care.
It didn’t make sense.
‘It’s useless against the transformed ribbon pig anyway.’
Because there’s nothing he can do on the 4th floor.
To be exact, there was nothing the adventurers here could do on the fourth floor.
It was the same with Kais.
‘Because it takes countless sacrifices to catch that guy.’
Even hunting the mutated ribbon pigs required too many sacrifices.
So, Kais prepared from the beginning.
‘I know where the exit is, so all I have to do is get out.’
Prepare to run away without fighting.
‘Not right now, though.’
Of course, I had no intention of just running away.
Kais’ intention was to properly imprint the fear of the transformed Ribbon Pig on all adventurers.
The plan was to make everyone here run away like rats for a week.
The adventurers, who had no idea of Kais’ intentions, prepared the moment Kais gave the order.
thud!
“Follow the leader and run away!”
He quickly started to move away from the approaching deformed ribbon pig.
“Follow me!”
“yes!”
There were no exceptions.
“uh?”
Except for them.
“Why those guys?”
El Palm Party, the five were nowhere to be seen.
At that moment, the adventurers were sure.
“You traitorous bastard!”
That El Palm Party is the traitor who brought them into this pit of crisis, into this hell.
So I understood.
‘You know you’re going to die anyway, so you’re trying to run away!’
Here’s why they make these choices.
Making irrational choices.
That was it.
“Let’s ignore it.”
“Ignore? That traitor?”
“It’s impossible to survive here alone anyway.”
Because it’s a dead life anyway.
“Even if you survive, you can just wait outside and deal with it. Right?”
By then, not a single adventurer cared about the El Palm Party anymore.
“Everyone except those guarding that monster, run to a safe area!”
Some people just watch the situation.
“Huh? That?”
And so the rest could see.
“Isn’t it Blizzard?”
Blizzard magic falling on the deformed ribbon pig’s head.
“Is that Blizzard?”
However, the adventurers who saw it did not immediately believe it was Blizzard.
It was natural.
“That big thing?”
