Chapter 8. Unique Items (3)
5.
Adventurers have one important rule.
“You need to have at least one last card to pull out at the last moment. Only then can you be called a true adventurer.”
El Palm also knew the importance of that rule.
I knew it better than anyone else.
Because he had seen countless times, up close, what the consequences were for those who had that rule and those who didn’t.
That’s why he prepared one trump card before entering the 100-person Mystic Gate.
‘hearthstone.’
It was none other than a magic stone.
And not just any magic stone, but a considerable amount, and quite powerful ones.
So, I prepared the boss monster’s magic stone.
Of course, it was incredibly expensive. To the point where I had to spend all the money I had saved, as well as the money I had borrowed from Gapor.
Nevertheless, the reason for preparing at such a high price was simple.
‘If you have this magic stone, you can create 3 circles at any time.’
While others need enlightenment to circle up no matter how many magic stones they eat, that’s not the case for El Palm.
That is, El Palm deliberately did not open the 3rd circle.
The reason for this was also simple.
‘However, once you reach the 3rd circle, the red grade Mystic Gate can no longer be conquered.’
There are restrictions on entering the Mystic Gate.
There was no reason to force myself to become a 3rd circle adventurer when I didn’t know what good opportunities might come from the Red Grade Mystic Gate.
But now El Palm has pulled out its trump card.
Of course, El Palm had the intention of getting the high price for playing the trump card somehow.
“Nice to meet you.”
That was why El Palm appeared in front of Jer now.
“My name is El Palm. I’m going to ask you some questions now.”
El Palm was intent on obtaining information.
Of course it wasn’t easy.
Jer, who was stabbed in the eye, practically on the verge of death, and full of pain, laughed at El Palm’s words.
He showed confidence that he would not spit out a word no matter what kind of torture was applied.
“You will never hear what you want from my mouth.”
El Palm nodded at Jer’s words.
“Yeah, I know.”
He meant it.
“I know what kind of people the Black Mage’s followers are.”
He had faced and experienced countless encounters with the followers of the Black Mage before returning to the past.
They should not be approached with the concept of a typical adventurer.
“Better than you think.”
They were fanatics.
Fanatics obsessed with the black magician.
The information coming out of their mouths was not correct information, but false information, disguised information.
Things that are of no help whatsoever, and actually get in the way.
That’s why El Palm didn’t have any expectations about what would come out of the bastard’s mouth.
“I also know that you don’t have any important information.”
Moreover, the power achieved by the followers of the Black Mage known to El Palm was so deep and complex that even the lower-level followers could not understand it.
“The mastermind is obvious anyway.”
Above all, El Palm knew.
“The mastermind behind this is probably Ivok, the head of the Chania Merchant Association, one of the ten Merchant Associations in the port city of Lys.”
Who are their sponsors?
Thump thump!
‘How about that?’
At El Palm’s words, Jer’s heart began to pound violently.
“Yeah, that’s it.”
That’s the sound El Palm was hoping for.
“You don’t need to answer. Your heartbeat will answer for you.”
Lie detection, that was the ability El Palm acquired while dealing with the followers of the Black Mage.
“Are there ten colleagues?”
Thump!
“fifteen?”
Thump thump!
“Fifteen. Is Kiri alive?”
Thump thump!
“Is the pursuit heading that way now?”
And then, at the moment when he pointed to a place with his finger, El Palm nodded after hearing the heartbeat.
At the same time, the Fire Arrow that El Palm had summoned pierced Jer’s remaining right eye.

That was it.
“boss!”
Devo appears.
“Sorry! I was making a fuss and I ended up drawing aggro from some nearby ribbon pigs!”
Doo doo doo!
As soon as he finished speaking, the heavy footsteps of the Ribbon Pig were heard.
The number is roughly around twenty.
It was a number that could be caught if one wanted to, but not easily.
“Run away!”
So, when there is another purpose like now, running away is clearly the best option.
But El Palm did not make that choice.
There was no reason to do it.
“Divo.”
He is now a 3rd circle adventurer.
“The hunt begins.”
“yes?”
Because to him, nothing that existed in this Mystic Gate could be a threat any longer.
“Fire Arrow.”
6.
Hurrr!
A flaming arrow flew in a parabolic arc. At the tip of the blazing flaming arrow, the tip of the arrowhead, was a knight clad in armor.
Kiri.
‘this.’
She, a trainee of the Knights of Signus, discovered the existence of the fire arrow only after it had reached her immediate vicinity.
Avoiding it was impossible, and the flaming arrow eventually struck her right shoulder blade.
Kaang!
Fortunately, the heavy armor she wore greatly reduced the power of the fire arrows.
It was just a little puncture to the armor.
In terms of the depth of the wound, it was only as deep as a fingernail. In the midst of a fierce battle, it was not even a wound.
But the problem was that it was a fire arrow.
Chewy!
The fire arrows began to burn around the wound.
Moreover, the Fire Arrow did not disappear right away, but continued to cause wounds and increase the pain of burns.
Even the place where it was stuck was near the shoulder blade, a place that Kiri’s armored hands could not easily reach.
In the end, there was only one way: to endure.
Bam!
And Kiri endured it.
Actually, it wasn’t difficult to endure.
The path one must take to become a trainee of the Knights of the Signus Order was by no means a laughing matter.
So she just got angry.
‘f*cking traitor Pitin.’
Anger towards the traitor who poisoned their meal and then tried to kill them.
Of course, she wasn’t just drunk on anger.
‘I must inform you. There is a traitor within the Order.’
Rather, she recognized that the situation was not simple, that it was very serious.
That will moved her to want to lose consciousness and collapse at any moment, to scream in pain.
She ran away.
With all my might.
Kaang!
Following her, arrows of fire flew from afar and struck her armor.
The pain mounted, but my legs did not stop.
She ran again and again.
‘The exit.’
Without fail.
‘We have to find an exit.’
eternally.
But everything has an end.
That moment came for her too.
When the flaming arrows no longer struck her armor and she could no longer sense her pursuers, a wall appeared before her eyes.
Oink oink!
A wall made of hundreds of ribbon pigs.
‘ah.’
The moment she saw it, she had a gut feeling.
Now the end has come.
Of course, she had no intention of facing that end helplessly.
She took up the sword.
And shouted.
“Rising Sun!”
Then a ball of light resembling the sun rose above her head and exploded.
Srrrr!
Kiri’s eyes, struck by the debris of the exploded light, began to glow with sunlight.
The moment when the skill Rising Sun, one of the jobs belonging to the Knights of Signus, Soul Master, is activated.
The skill that was activated in that way made her sunken body hot and her cold blood hot.
Strength began to flow into my body.
Oink oink!
But the Ribbon Pigs had no reaction to her changes.
It gave stimulation rather than response.
Because light was such a strong stimulus to the ribbon pigs that they even reacted to Paris.
Kkuul!
The stimulated ribbon pigs rushed towards her, and Kiri swung her sword in front of the ribbon pigs.
“Solar Slash!”
As she swung her sword, it began to glow red.
It wasn’t all what it seemed.
Shhh!
Her sword sliced through the body of the approaching ribbon pig, its sturdy body lightly slicing like a steak.
Chewy!
And from the cut wound, the smell of grilling meat rose.
It would have been a spine-chilling sight for an adventurer to see.
Solar Slash, that attack is powerful, but it also leaves a terrible burn on the affected area the moment it hits.
Then, even proper treatment using potions or healing skills would have been impossible.
The pain was beyond words.
That’s why the world feared the Knights of Signus.
It gives a fear of a completely different level from that of adventurers or monsters.
It was the same with the ribbon pig.
Kkuek!
The ribbon pigs cut by Kiri’s sword screamed and writhed in pain.
The power was clear.
Kkueek!
The problem was that there were too many numbers.
Still, over a hundred Ribbon Pigs were running with all their might to trample Kiri.
“Empress Signus.”
Kiri was shocked when she saw it.
“Long live.”
A will.
That was the moment when I made my final resolution.
“Divo, the hero of Polarm!”
A voice was heard.
“Here it comes!”
From behind Kiri, Divo appeared with great momentum, swinging a polearm.
It wasn’t just momentum.
Phew!
Kkueek!
Slash Blast, the ribbon pigs screamed in front of the polearm imbued with that powerful skill.
Divo, who appeared like that, immediately stood back to back with Kiri and spoke.
“I’m here to help!”
Kiri didn’t give a welcoming smile at those words.
Instead, he had a cold look in his eyes.
‘Are you crazy?’
Kiri got a profile on Divo, so she knew.
That he wasn’t even an adventurer until recently, he was just an insurance policy specialized in survival skills.
But now, in a situation where even I am overwhelmed, he appears to help me?
I appreciate the help, but this is a situation where I feel like cursing rather than being grateful.
“Right now, Mi… … .”
So Kiri wanted to say something.
“The price of life is 1 million mesos. I think that’s more than enough for a trainee of the Knights of Signus.”
But the moment he heard Devo’s next words, Kiri was speechless.
At the same time, Kiri had no doubts.
‘Crazy Torai Baby.’
Because it was crazy to force common sense on a crazy person.
Oink oink!
Meanwhile, the Ribbon Pigs began to build a siege around Kiri and Divo.
After seeing that, Kiri changed her mind.
‘Hold on as long as you can.’
Anyway, two is better than one.
“Just trust me and follow me. I will save you somehow.”
The moment Kiri spoke those words of determination, at that moment, Kiri was able to see.
Hurrr!
The sight of Fire Arrows moving like swallows.
Kkuek!
The sight of that swallow-like fire arrow piercing the head of that tough ribbon pig with such ease.
‘Hey, what is this?’
Even Kiri, who had maintained a strong will like steel until then, could not help but lose her mind in front of that sight.
It was such an absurd sight.
‘Uh, how?’
The Fire Arrow moves like a living swallow, pierces through Ribbon Pigs in one breath, and turns more than ten Ribbon Pigs into corpses in an instant.
Fortunately, Kiri’s confusion did not last long.
Hurrr!
The moment another Fire Arrow appeared, the moment two Fire Arrows flew around, Kiri gave up thinking.
‘ah.’
Finally, she came to her senses and was able to see.
“It’s El Palm.”
A man appears among the corpses of over 100 ribbon-wrapped pigs.
