Chapter 78. The Last Adventurer

18.

“El Palm, the moment he faces Horntail, the god of another world will descend upon him. That will be the beginning of the world we desire.”

“Akairum,” he said, his smile more filled with joy than ever.

On the other hand, his subordinates were different.

The moment he heard that story, his subordinates became worried.

“Isn’t it useless if El Palm dies?”

Adventurers and heroes who realized this fact, the Knights of Signus, could not possibly leave El Palm alone.

Akairum laughed at that fact.

“El Palm, possessed by a god, is no longer a simple adventurer. He becomes a being close to transcendence.”

“But if there are six heroes… … you wouldn’t know, right?”

He smiled even more deeply.

“Yes, six heroes would be very threatening. And the gods would be even more threatening in that threat.”

“ah!”

Only then did the subordinates realize.

“The greater the threat, the more powerful El Palm will become. And the closer El Palm becomes to the transcendent, the more the Overseer’s eyes and ears will begin to become clouded by El Palm’s presence.”

That was the moment.

thud!

Akairum, he stopped talking and suddenly got up from his seat.

“ah!”

And then he shouted.

“He moved! The Black Wizard began to move!”

19.

“Aran said.”

Divo.

“Please kill the boss.”

He said, looking at El Palm and holding the polearm.

“It was said that if the boss lives, the black wizard will be free.”

By that time, Kiri, Miner, and Ralph were also standing next to Devo.

It was blocking the portal.

With my weapon in hand.

El Palm didn’t say much to those colleagues.

“Honestly, I thought it was bullshit. Right? What does a boss and a black wizard have to do with each other?”

I was speechless.

“But, but. When I see the boss now, it doesn’t seem like a lie.”

Because it’s true.

El Palm, because while he was alive, the black wizard could have freedom.

And now that the Black Wizard has gained his freedom, he will want to take over Maple World again, just like he did 800 years ago.

El Palm’s existence means that it will soon become an absolute threat to Maple World.

“Boss, is it true?”

At Divo’s question, El Palm looked at Divo.

Here El Palm was able to deceive Divo and his companions.

No, if he just says that one word, his colleagues will gladly believe him and follow him.

And El Palm still needed time.

I caught a horntail.

I achieved what I wanted so badly.

But there was still one more adventure to be had.

But at this moment, El Palm nodded to Divo’s words.

“It’s true.”

El Palm spat out the truth.

It was the bare minimum of courtesy.

‘I can’t lie to my colleagues.’

Courtesy to colleagues who believed in you and came this far, colleagues who were willing to show everything for you.

Of course, El Palm was now going to explain.

There are still adventures to be had.

So, please give me a little more time.

“If you don’t kill the boss, Maple World will be ruined.”

At that moment, Devo said.

“f*ck, let’s just let it go to waste.”

With those words, Divo turned his head and looked at Kiri.

“Kiri, you? Are you going to kill the boss?”

“The Empress’s orders are absolute to the Knights of Signus.”

“so?”

“Therefore, I renounce the Knights of Signus at this moment.”

“Oh, that’s a relief.”

At that point, Miner let out a sigh of relief.

“We never shoot together, you know.”

“Miner, you too?”

“Of course. Then should I point my gun at the boss?”

“Captain Kairin gave orders, didn’t she? Shouldn’t we follow them?”

“Of course, on the Nautilus, the Captain’s orders are absolute, but there are ways to avoid them.”

“method?”

“I’ll be the captain. I think the master will like it too. He’s been having a hard time being the captain, so I’ll let him enjoy his later years comfortably this time.”

At that point, everyone was now looking at one person.

Ralph!

It is clear what Goldrich demanded in exchange for giving 10 percent of his entire fortune.

And Ralph would have betrayed me for that amount of money.

In fact, Ralph’s eyes were different from everyone else’s.

It was still sinking cold.

If necessary, he had the look in his eyes of willingness to fight El Palm and his other comrades.

Things like lack of skill and being bound to lose didn’t matter to Ralph.

Because he was an adventurer who put money first even if he died.

El Palm also faced Ralph because he knew the truth.

“boss.”

“okay.”

And the moment those words were spoken, both of them nodded simultaneously.

That was all.

At the end of the story, Ralph said:

“Boss, I will save your life until the end!”

The remaining colleagues tilted their heads at that sight.

‘what?’

Ralph, who I thought would be quite difficult, was persuaded so easily?

At that point, everyone thought.

‘Could it be that Ralph is starting to feel camaraderie now?’

Maybe it’s only now that Ralph realizes the value of his colleagues.

“Hey, Ralph. What’s wrong? Why did you suddenly change your mind?”

Of course, Ralph responded to such expectations.

“I made a deal with the boss.”

“transaction?”

“I decided to ask and double check.”

El Palm, that he had bought Ralph for more money than Goldrich had demanded.

Everyone burst into laughter at that fact.

And that smile soon turned into a deep smile.

“Yes, this is El Palm Party.”

Now, we have Maple Union and even Maple World as our enemies, but the El Palm Party remains unchanged.

El Palm also smiled at that fact.

“thanks.”

“Thank you, boss. If it weren’t for you, I would have died a long time ago. I’m the one who should be thanking you. For bringing me here.”

At Divo’s words, El Palm patted Divo on the shoulder.

At that moment, El Palm was confident.

‘I don’t even have any regrets anymore.’

I’m sure you won’t have any regrets.

So the El Palm Party went out through the portal.

And they could see.

20.

“El Palm.”

The moment you catch the Horntail and come out, it is truly a moment of glory that will be remembered in the history of Maple World, a moment where you will only encounter brilliant days and praise.

“Stop.”

It was none other than the Maple Expedition that was waiting for such an El Palm party.

“If you move even one step, I will kill you.”

And it was the hostility that the Maple Expedition gave off.

It wasn’t simple hostility.

The Maple Expedition had animosity for the world, not personal reasons, toward the El Palm Party.

“This is not an empty warning.”

At the end of such hostility was Luminous, him.

He was spewing deeper hostility and murderous intent toward El Palm than ever before.

“The black wizard has now moved.”

El Palm, and that is how the Black Wizard finally gained his freedom.

For Luminous, killing El Palm now is the only way to stop the Black Mage.

I had no personal anger or feelings toward El Palm.

Quite the opposite.

Luminous, who has lived her entire life to defeat the Black Wizard, has been punishing and dealing with anything related to the Black Wizard.

If it were a normal situation, he would have just used magic first without even talking to El Palm.

However, the conversation was due to personal feelings towards El Palm.

The sacrifices he made to save Maple World, and the feelings of gratitude and appreciation for him.

“Let me ask first.”

Of course, the conversation we had with those feelings was brief.

“El Palm, is it still El Palm?”

El Palm nodded in response to that question.

“I think I can probably hold out for a few more minutes.”

“Is that it?”

“The god of this other world is ruling over me. At the same time, the Overseer is interfering with my fate. And the more he intervenes, the more violently I feel the god of this other world rebelling.”

Right now, El Palm’s physical condition, or rather his mental condition, was not normal.

A powerful god from another world and a transcendent being called Oversia, who maintains the balance of Maple World, were fighting over El Palm’s body.

The fact that El Palm is still sane is a miracle in itself.

It was possible because it was El Palm.

“sorry.”

In other words, this moment was an opportunity.

Last chance to kill El Palm.

Now, if El Palm is ruled by God, then El Palm’s strength will be on par with that of the transcendent Black Magician.

It was at a level that the members here couldn’t do anything about.

At that point, everyone, including Devo, stood in front of El Palm.

“I’m sorry too. I never thought I’d ruin the reputations of the six heroes like this.”

Prepare to fight the Maple Expedition.

At that sight, Luminous’s eyes turned cold.

On the other hand, the phantom thief Phantom was different.

He smiled as he stood next to Luminous.

“See, I was right? El Palm Party would never betray you. It was a waste of time.”

I knew it would turn out like this.

That was the extent of the conversation.

Now all that remains is a fight to the death.

So everyone prepared for a fierce and desperate fight.

Just one person.

“Not everyone needs to fight.”

El Palm, it was different.

He wasn’t prepared for the fight.

Instead, he took out a ring, and the moment he saw it, the Phantom Thief’s eyes widened.

“that?”

“you’re right.”

At that moment El Palm put on his ring and said:

“Fried, he sent me back in time.”

At those words, the eyes of the six heroes, including the phantom thief Phantom, widened.

It was no surprise.

The great wizard Fried, one of his other names was the Master of Time Magic.

If anyone in the world could use magic to turn back time, it would be only Fried.

That is, Frieda El Palm turned back to the past.

The last adventurer was sent back to the past.

Of course, the reason was to write history correctly.

“And now, I will follow Fried’s will and return to the past.”

But that was not the history of today.

“The day the six heroes failed to seal the Black Wizard.”

Back to a longer time in the past.

At that moment, the phantom thief shouted.

“That’s impossible! It’s a magic that only a transcendent being can do! Right now, El Palm, it’s impossible with your power!”

At those words, El Palm smiled and brought out one more thing.

“ah.”

The thief Phantom shut his mouth when he saw that.

“Phantom, I’m sorry I couldn’t keep my promise. I can’t give you this.”

Because what El Palm was holding in his hand was the Onyx Dragon’s Jewel.

A jewel that can exert powers close to transcendence for a moment, and is one of only two in the world.

The moment he saw that, the phantom thief started to cry.

“El Palm.”

Now El Palm will use the time magic left behind by Fried and the Onyx Dragon’s Jewel to return to the past.

When the six heroes failed to seal the Black Mage.

To set history straight.

And El Palm, having completed his role, will no longer be able to exist in this world.

To be precise, the Overseer will not tolerate his presence.

Because El Palm was a being that could not exist at that point.

Just as the Black Wizard was unable to do anything because of the Overseer despite being alive, El Palm would also be left to live each day.

You will end up living a life without any promises.

It was such a lonely, sad, and miserable thing.

“You won’t regret it?”

At those words, El Palm smiled as he looked at his comrades who were there to protect him.

“I dreamed of this day. A day when I would do something worthwhile for my colleagues.”

The moment he finished saying those words, El Palm’s body began to be bathed in light.

“The last adventurer.”

At the same time, El Palm left his last words.

“It is the final adventure.”

And El Palm’s world changed.

21.

A world ruled by black magicians.

There was a man who stood up against that world.

“Fried!”

The name is Fried.

People gathered who were moved and impressed by his appearance as a great wizard and great adventurer.

Luminous, Phantom, Aran, Mercedes and Eunwol.

Those who will be called heroes in the future.

They gathered together to fight against the great disaster known as the Black Mage, believing only in Fried.

“What’s wrong with you all of a sudden? You’re making a blank expression.”

But now, that Fried was blankly staring at the sky.

It was a rare sight, and so his fellow Phantom questioned it.

Fried smiled at that question.

“Wait a minute, I have someone I need to meet.”

“Someone I should meet? Who?”

Fried did not answer subsequent questions.

Instead, it moved.

Without fail.

Finally, Fried looked at the dark shadows and said.

“Who are you?”

Then two eyes appeared from the shadows.

“You will fail.”

And the words that come out.

“If the Black Mage’s seal fails, a world will come where the six heroes are remembered.”

It was worse than an insult to Fried and his companions, who had made countless sacrifices to seal the Black Wizard.

But Fried didn’t feel bad when he heard that.

He didn’t even frown.

Instead, he bowed his head.

“Thank you. I’ll keep that in mind.”

Okay, I got it.

The adventurer in front of you has gone on an adventure beyond anything you could ever imagine just to say these words.

The eyes in the shadows that had received such a greeting from Fried disappeared.

After seeing that, Fried bowed his head again and turned away.

A world where Fried disappeared.

In that world, a man lying in the shadows opened his mouth.

“The final adventure is over.”

El Palm.

There was a smile on his lips as he spoke.

I had no regrets.

Now the six heroes will seal the Black Wizard, and true peace will come to Maple World.

Because a world will unfold for adventurers and for the comrades he so desperately wanted to protect.

‘Now I’m alone again.’

Of course, from now on, El Palm had to chew on his loneliness.

The moment he is about to meet someone, the moment he is about to form a bond, the Overseer will intervene in his fate.

From now on, he had to live a life like a tree in the forest, without meeting anyone.

Without talking to anyone.

It was hard work.

I have already experienced firsthand how scary loneliness can be.

That was when.

Qyuu!

A snail came out of El Palm’s arms and climbed onto El Palm’s head.

Qyuu!

El Palm, as he returned to the past, it seems that the Mano in his arms also returned to the past.

“agate.”

Qyuu!

El Palm smiled at that fact.

At that moment, El Palm seemed to remember something and got up from his seat.

“If you are going to remain a bystander.”

And then he raised his head.

“It wouldn’t be a bad idea to watch the adventurers start off on Maple Island.”

El Palm takes a step forward with those words.

A few months later, El Palm heard.

“The five heroes succeeded in sealing the Black Wizard! Fried, Luminous, Phantom, Aran, and Mercedes! They sealed the Black Wizard! They saved Maple World!”

A story about six heroes.

And time passed after hearing that story.

Eight hundred years of time.

The desperate, desperate, and miserable story of five heroes who sealed the black magician who was trying to destroy Maple World has become a heroic tale that children love the most.

“Divo.”

“What? You? Who are you and why are you calling my name?”

“I came here because I wanted to go on an adventure together.”

“Want to go on an adventure together? You came here out of nowhere and started talking nonsense, so how about you introduce yourself first? Okay? What’s your name?”

“It’s El Palm.”

There was an adventurer in those days.
