Chapter 77. Horntail (4)
10.
El Palm.
The moment he put on Hyperion’s helmet, he felt an incredible power surge through his body.
I felt like my body was going to explode.
It feels like I have to somehow use up that strength to survive.
“Fire Arrow.”
However, in that situation, what El Palm used was none other than the weakest 1st circle magic, Fire Arrow.
That was one step too.
El Palm began to hunt the dark wyvern that covered the sky with its one paw.
Of course, that one foot couldn’t consume the tremendous power emanating from El Palm’s body.
My body felt like it was going to explode.
‘This power.’
Still, the reason for making this choice was simple.
‘Can’t stop.’
Even if El Palm pours out a tremendous amount of magic here, this power will not be diminished.
I had already experienced that this power was not greatly reduced even when using meteor magic.
Above all, El Palm knew.
That this isn’t just simple power.
This was the will.
Hyperion!
The god of that other world, the god of a world other than Maple World, wants to inhabit El Palm’s body!
Here El Palm had two choices:
Removing Hyperion’s helmet to block intervention.
The other is to accept it as it is.
‘This power.’
Of course, El Palm had already made his choice.
‘I will accept it.’
The moment he put on Hyperion’s helmet, El Palm knew that he would never be able to take it off again.
The mental preparation and determination had already been completed.
Rather, El Palm accelerated the process.
This power gave unlimited freedom to explode its body without resorting to unnecessary tricks.
Do what you want to do.
Do whatever you want.
To achieve what you want.
That was the moment.
ping!
El Palm’s eyes shook violently, and soon the color of his eyes turned blue.
It started at the same time.
“Wow, that’s great, boss. Fire Arrow… … .”
Fire arrow that pierces the dark wyvern.
“uh?”
The fire arrow suddenly started accelerating.
It didn’t end there.
Phew!
The moment the Fire Arrow pierced the Dark Wyvern’s head, the Dark Wyvern’s head exploded.
‘this?’
That was never the power of the magic called Fire Arrow.
It was a power that far surpassed that.
That’s why El Palm’s colleagues could tell that something tremendous had happened to El Palm.
It wasn’t just them.
The suicide squad that followed El Palm, including Magar, could also notice the change in El Palm.
I couldn’t not know.
“ah.”
Because the dark wyverns that filled the sky began to be hunted at an astonishing rate.
Because the pitch-black sky and the darkness that was like night began to turn into light at an astonishing speed.
All anyone could do before that breathtaking sight was to lose their senses.
Soon the sky above everyone’s heads became clear.
Kwakwakwang!
And the floor turned black.
With the corpse of a dark wyvern.
Only then did El Palm’s colleagues come to their senses.
“Boss! You’re amazing!”
First of all, Divo gave it rave reviews.
In front of such a Divo, El Palm took off the Hyperion helmet he was wearing.

“Wow, that’s really great. What is this, when you’re next to the boss, everything becomes ridiculous… … .”
That was it.
“uh?”
Devo, he noticed something strange.
“Hey boss? The eyes?”
That El Palm’s eyes are blue.
That was the phenomenon that occurred when wearing Hyperion’s helmet.
That’s why.
‘why?’
El Palm was now taking off Hyperion’s helmet.
Still, the fact that his eyes were blue was proof.
Evidence that Hyperion, the god of another world, resided in El Palm’s body.
Now, there is proof that it is impossible for El Palm to expel Hyperion from his body even if he does not want to.
That wasn’t all.
‘This is it.’
El Palm could feel it now.
‘This is an overseer.’
Something huge is watching you.
I can’t express it exactly, but at this moment, my fate began to be limited.
At least for now, it was at the level of surveillance and just getting started.
El Palm was still able to move of its own accord.
‘not much left.’
But this freedom was not granted for long.
I couldn’t tell exactly where El Palm was, but I could feel it roughly.
‘one week.’
The time given to me, the time in which I can carve out my own destiny, is less than a week.
That’s why.
“Boss? What the hell is going on?”
“Divo.”
El Palm said to his colleagues who were looking at him with concern.
“Find the third floor.”
“The third floor?”
His colleagues tilted their heads at that fact.
But that doubt didn’t last long.
Because El Palm said so.
“There is no time.”
11.
On the second floor, right after El Palm unilaterally slaughtered the Dark Wyvern, the El Palm party quickly found the exit to the third floor.
And when we reached the third floor, we encountered El Palm Party and the Suicide Squad.
“This time it’s a skeleton!”
A horde of skelegons that were formerly dragons but turned into undead monsters.
The number this time was one million.
It was a huge number.
“Those guys are more of a headache than the wyverns.”
Additionally, skelegons were a much more troublesome monster than wyverns.
First of all, Skelegon was basically an undead monster made from the bones of a dragon.
And the bones of the dragon tribe have incredible resistance to both magic and physical attacks.
This means that Skelegon’s strength is several times stronger than that of the Dark Wyvern!
It was impossible to even give it a proper dent in any attack or skill.
Even the undead monsters.
An undead monster that can only be killed by complete destruction, not by magic stones!
The difficulty of hunting them was completely different from that of wyverns or centaurs, which only required destroying their heads or magic stones.
That much dragon-led hunting was needed.
But the El Palm Party was different.
“Find the exit.”
Now, rather than hunting, the focus is on finding the exit.
“ASAP.”
And then I hurried.
‘why?’
Migar and the Death Squad were suspicious of that appearance.
With El Palm Party level skills, even if it’s a skeleton, if you attack steadily, you should be able to defeat it without risk.
Because there was no reason to force it.
El Palm Party’s thinking was the same. They knew that it was the right way, the right answer.
‘The boss said.’
Still, they hurried.
‘I don’t have time.’
El Palm, he was never one to rush the clock.
But he said he didn’t have time?
That meant there really was no time.
‘boss.’
And everyone felt it vaguely.
‘I risked my life.’
What El Palm meant by there being no time.
At that moment, it was pointless to consider any more risks.
El Palm’s colleagues had one wish.
‘So we have to take the boss to the 7th floor.’
Ending with El Palm.
Of course, there was no will to make a path, and now Magar and the Death Squad could realize it too.
‘El Palm Party is not about making roads.’
‘I’m trying to catch a horntail!’
What is the purpose of the El Palm Party?
Of course, it was impossible to stop it.
There was no way. No one in Maple World could stop the El Palm Party now.
And there was no reason for that.
‘Then we will risk our lives too.’
From the suicide squad’s perspective, if my life was of any help in catching Hontail, I would be happy about it.
Everyone was of one mind, and everyone carried out one purpose.
And it’s been a week since I entered the Mystic Gate.
It’s been a week since I’ve been running without a single break.
“boss!”
Everyone could see it.
“This is the exit to the 7th floor.”
7th floor!
The stage I had longed for was right in front of me.
At that moment, for the first time, El Palm spoke.
“Take a half day break.”
Announced a break.
Everyone took a break from that fact.
A break to get your skills up to par before hunting the horntail.
A break that might be the last.
“wait.”
That’s why.
“Can I read this now?”
“What do you mean?”
“letter.”
“Oh, that’s right. There was a letter!”
El Palm’s colleagues took out the letter they had been holding in their hearts.
It was clearly written to be read in a time of crisis, but there was no way I would have the leisure to read it while dealing with Horntail.
That is, now was the time to read, and everyone took out the letter and read it without hesitation.
And everyone who was reading the letter made the same expression at the same time.
Everyone’s expressions hardened.
12.
“Did the letter get to El Palm Party safely?”
Nineheart nodded in response to his question.
At the same time, I had doubts.
Why on earth is Nineheart so focused on that letter?
That’s understandable, as this was the fourth time he had mentioned the letter.
Nineheart was never one to ask the same question more than twice.
At that point, the subordinate asked a question.
“Nineheart, what on earth is that letter?”
Instead of answering that question, Nineheart just looked out the window.
I looked at the night sky, at the thick darkness.
“one week.”
And after taking his time, he nodded and said.
“Divo is Aran’s disciple. Kiri is Mikhail’s, and Miner is Captain Kairin’s.”
The subordinate nodded at those words.
It was now a well-known fact.
“So I asked my disciples through those teachers.”
What I’m curious about is this.
“What on earth do you want?”
“If El Palm catches the horntail.”
“What if I catch it?”
“After that, kill El Palm.”
“yes?”
The moment he heard the following words, the subordinate froze.
“Th, what is that?”
“It is literal.”
Nineheart spoke again to his subordinate.
“He asked his associates to kill El Palm. He mentioned this several times in his letters.”
What the subordinate heard was not a misunderstanding.
The subordinates were shocked by that fact.
“Is that possible? The El Palm comrades are heroes! They risk their lives for the right values!”
El Palm Party was a party that performed unspeakable miracles as a single party.
And most of those miracles began with things that everyone thought were impossible, impossible, and suicidal.
Still, everyone at El Palm Party joined in the adventure.
Without exception.
El Palm’s companions followed him without the slightest hesitation.
The El Palm Party is a party where people are willing to sacrifice their lives for each other, so why are you asking the El Palm Party to kill El Palm?
An absurd thing.
Nineheart also nodded.
“Yes, they are heroes. They are nobler than any adventurer.”
There was no way I didn’t know.
How much El Palm Party has done for Maple World and how great their determination is.
“So they have no choice but to kill El Palm.”
That’s why I sent that letter.
“El Palm, the fact that he caught the Horntail is proof that he has accepted the god of this world. And the moment he accepts the god of this world, the Overseer will move. For the balance of this world. In other words, those who have been under the intervention of the Overseer until now will be free.”
“Those who were intervened?”
“I’m talking about the transcendent ones.”
“If you are a transcendent being, ah!”
Because if you’re a hero, you have no choice but to choose without hesitation.
“Yes, El Palm, his survival means that the Black Mage will soon be free.”
The best way to save the world.
