Chapter 77. Horntail (3)

7.

El Palm, he had no information whatsoever about the Mystic Gate where the Horntail was.

That is to say, it was a sight I had never seen before.

‘A hundred thousand, no, a million?’

The sight of a herd of a million centaurs surrounding them.

It was a sight you couldn’t see anywhere else.

“Divo.”

“Yes, boss. That’s a considerable number. I think this will easily surpass the hundreds of thousands.”

The same was true for El Palm’s colleagues.

It was an unexpected sight.

Faced with such a sight, El Palm Party had the same thought.

“thank god.”

“It’s not bad.”

“Yeah, I guess it’s worth it.”

“It would be good for loosening up.”

No problem.

It’s nothing.

Naturally, Magar was surprised by that fact.

It’s surprising that the El Palm Party appeared, but why do people say things like that when they see this sight?

“Crazy! The centaurs here aren’t all they seem!”

So Magar thought they were mistaken.

“I know without you saying. A million, that’s probably it.”

El Palm spoke clearly to such Magar.

“So there is no problem.”

I’m not talking nonsense.

And it wasn’t a bluff.

The moment El Palm Party heard that the Maple Union’s suicide squad that entered here died without lasting even a day, they thought about several possible scenarios.

‘I had in mind poison or a curse. Or a secret room.’

Among them, the environmental aspect was cited as the most troublesome factor.

Especially in the case of poison or closed room types, it was quite burdensome for the El Palm Party as well.

In normal cases, there would be no problem, but in the case of purple grade, there was a high possibility that an environment would arise that was beyond the capabilities of the El Palm Party.

On the other hand, it was different when they pushed forward with such a huge number.

There was nothing difficult.

“Everyone takes care of it.”

All you have to do is hunt.

That method wasn’t difficult either.

“Divo.”

“Yes, I will take the role of Centaur King.”

While Devo deals with the king, the rest of them can figure it out on their own, each in their own way.

At that point Magar gave up trying to understand any further.

Now I didn’t even have the strength to understand anything.

‘It’s the end.’

Magar, who was about to collapse, closed his eyes. He fainted. Like a candle that had burned everything down.

‘It’s all over.’

I thought I would never open my eyes again.

Magar let go of everything and fell into a deep sleep.

And soon Magar could hear.

Clap clap!

“Hey, wake up. If you sleep here, your mouth will fall off.”

The sound of someone hitting their cheek and someone’s voice.

Clap clap!

“Ugh!”

Magar opened his eyes to the repeated attacks.

At that moment, Magar’s mind was complicated.

Because I couldn’t tell why I was awake or if I was dreaming.

But those thoughts were quickly put in order.

Because I saw it.

“ah.”

Countless corpses of centaurs spread out.

And in the center of it all, the torn corpse of the Centaur King.

The shocking sight actually brought me to my senses.

Only then did Magar turn his head and speak to the five adventurers who were looking at him.

“Who, who are you?”

The wizard adventurer in the middle said in response to that question.

“This is El Palm.”

8.

When encountering the unexpected at Mystic Gate, most adventurers reacted very aggressively.

That was a natural response for survival.

But the Maple Alliance’s suicide squad, the last survivors of that suicide squad, were different.

None of them reacted hostilely to the new intruder known as El Palm Party.

Could not be seen.

“oh my god.”

Because I saw the Centaur King slaughtering his fellows and a million Centaurs rolling around on the ground as corpses.

Even that entire process was accomplished in just one day.

It would take days to kill a million ants, but El Palm Party managed to accomplish this massive slaughter with just five.

In particular, the massacre at El Palm was on a far-off level.

Because in front of his magic, the centaurs appeared weaker than ants.

‘Is this El Palm Party?’

Eventually, when they realized that their true identity was El Palm Party, everyone accepted El Palm Party.

‘It’s even better than I heard.’

The reality unfolding before my eyes.

‘People with this level of skill are willing to make sacrifices.’

In particular, everyone felt infinitely moved by the fact that El Palm Party had come here.

It was natural.

“My name is Magar.”

“This is El Palm.”

“Thank you, El Palm Party, your sacred sacrifice will save Maple World. You can always endure here!”

El Palm has cleared out the first floor.

In other words, those who remained here only had to hold out until the Maple Expedition arrived here.

Very easily.

This result would never have been possible if El Palm Party had not come here prepared to make sacrifices.

“I have no intention of holding out.”

Of course, El Palm had different thoughts from Magar.

“It’s as I said before.”

I didn’t come here to make sacrifices.

“Our party came to catch the Horntail.”

“Th, what is that!”

At those words, all the survivors, including Magar, looked dumbfounded.

I just saw this on the first floor, are you going to go catch the horntail?

Bora grade, to where that monster is on the 7th floor?

At that point, El Palm didn’t give any unnecessary explanation.

No explanation was needed now.

Because this will be the final destination for El Palm.

So El Palm just gave him a look, and everyone, including Divo, nodded at that look.

“Yes, I’ll look for the exit to the second floor.”

El Palm Party moved to the second floor.

Magar’s colleagues were moved by that fact.

They couldn’t stand to see El Palm Party, who was like a benefactor to them, die like this.

That was when.

“I will help you.”

“Magar?”

Magar instead moved to help the El Palm Party.

“What are you doing? I have to stop you!”

Magar answered his colleague’s question.

“Now El Palm Party is on its way to make way.”

“road?”

“I will sacrifice my life to pave the way so that the Maple Expedition that will follow later can travel with a little more ease.”

“ah!”

The moment they heard that explanation, everyone nodded with a look of enlightenment on their face.

Because if it was El Palm Party, they were heroes who would gladly do so.

And it was only right that they help out a little bit for that El Palm party.

Soon, the suicide squad joined forces with El Palm Party to find the exit on the second floor, and soon everyone was able to find it.

“This is the exit!”

Exit to the second floor.

The moment they saw it, El Palm Party headed to the second floor without hesitation, and the suicide squad followed.

“You guys stay here.”

“yes.”

“I’m counting on you.”

Leaving a party of seven to buy time.

So everyone rushed to the second floor.

And they could see.

Kkieeee!

The winged beasts that cover the vast sky.

“Wow, it’s a wyvern!”

A wyvern, and not just any wyvern.

“It’s a dark wyvern!”

Among the wyverns, the dark wyvern was known to be the strongest and at the same time the most vicious.

“Oh my god, how many are there?”

Such dark wyverns filled the sky.

Enough to block the sunlight.

As if it were night.

It was a really huge number.

A hundred thousand is a number that is far from being possible!

Naturally, everyone couldn’t help but recall the number of centaurs on the first floor.

gulp!

‘Surely there are 1 million Wyverns?’

There might be a million monsters like that back then.

Of course, a million centaurs and a million dark wyverns were on a different level. If the two groups of monsters were to fight, I can guarantee that a million dark wyverns would be able to slaughter a group of centaurs.

Because the strength of the winged dark wyvern was incomparable to that of the centaur.

And all those fears and disadvantages applied to the adventurers as well.

Even the most powerful adventurer could do little against a flying wyvern.

At that point, everyone shut their eyes tightly.

There was no one who was afraid of death.

Those who have already died and come back to life, are now ready to give up their lives at any cost.

It was just a pity.

‘The sacrifice of El Palm Party is like this… … .’

The fact that the sacrifice and determination of El Palm Party, who risked their lives to come here and make a road, has become meaningless.

El Palm showed itself in front of them.

Swish!

El Palm, he took out Hyperion’s helmet.

‘now.’

And as he wrote it, El Palm prepared.

‘Hyperion will dwell in me.’

Prepare to accept the god of this other world.

Maple Expedition.

Their strategy of entering the purple-grade Mystic Gate to catch Horntail went very smoothly.

No, it wasn’t smooth sailing.

“Is this really a purple level? How come there aren’t even a single casualty?”

By the time they reached the fourth floor, the Maple Expedition had not suffered a single fatality.

Of course, that doesn’t mean that the monsters the Maple Expedition has encountered so far have been weak.

First of all, what they encountered on the first floor was none other than Zakum.

A monster has appeared that is not as bad as Zakum in the mines, but it is no exaggeration to say that it is a nightmare in itself.

On the second floor, 1,000 Junior Balrogs and Crimson Balrogs appeared.

After that, monsters of incredible proportions appeared on the 3rd and 4th floors.

Look, a stage has been created that matches the color.

The reason there were no casualties was simple.

“I didn’t expect six heroes to be like this.”

The activities of the four heroes who joined this time are far beyond everyone’s imagination.

In particular, among them, Luminous, the guardian of light and darkness, his activities defied comparison with those of other adventurers.

It had to be that way.

“I didn’t know the magic of light could be like this.”

Because the light magic that Luminous uses is a magic of a different dimension from existing magic.

No matter how strong the leather and armor of a monster was, it was useless against the light magic created by Luminous.

What was even more amazing was that Luminous didn’t even seem to be impressed by the results he had created.

There was no emotion, not even a change in facial expression.

“Hey, loosen up your face a bit. If someone saw you, they’d think you were going to die.”

Even when the thief Phantom, who was watching her expression from the side, made a joke, Luminous didn’t react at all.

“Huh? You’re not going to respond anymore? Don’t be like that, say something. Change your expression. Then I’ll give you 100 million mesos right here.”

That was when.

“Phantom.”

“uh?”

Luminous answered.

And with a very stern expression.

“you?”

The thief Phantom was surprised by that fact.

Of course, it wasn’t because of the fact that I had to pay 100 million mesos.

The thief Phantom knew that Luminous was not a being who was obsessed with money.

That is, the reason he reacted this way was not because of the 100 million mesos.

“The Overseer has moved.”

The phantom thief asked in surprise at the following words.

The Overseer is the balancer of this world.

Because at this point in time, only the Transcendent Ones could move that being.

“Could it be a black wizard?”

And now, the only transcendent being who could move was the Black Mage.

“no.”

However, Luminous shook her head at the question from the thief Phantom and soon turned her head away.

They looked back the way they had come.

And then he said.

“That’s it.”

“that?”

“Adventurer El Palm, that’s it.”
