Chapter 27. The Human Hunter (4)
8.
“Fire Arrow!”
The moment that shout was heard, all the adventurers quickly moved.
The warrior raised his shield, and the rest of the adventurers hid next to it or behind the trees.
Like the gears in a clock.
Everyone, without exception, responded perfectly to the attack.
“What number?”
“three!”
In the face of their response, the number of flying fire arrows felt pitiful.
There was a sound as the fire arrows clashed with the shields held out by the warriors.
Bang!
What a pitiful sound.
But none of the adventurers laughed at that sound.
His eyes widened fiercely at this ridiculous attack.
It was evidence.
“Don’t move hastily.”
Proof that the adventurers here are not a bunch of idiots, but real adventurers.
“It could be a trap.”
In their eyes, this miserable attack could have been a tactic to provoke them or to lure them.
That was when.
Hurrruk!
The Fire Arrow flew again.
This time it was short.
Bang!
And the attack disappeared with an even more pitiful sound beneath the warrior’s shield.
Here all the adventurers thought.
‘It’s over there.’
The direction the Fire Arrow came from was the same.
There is an enemy in that direction.
If so, then if we move in that direction from here, we will find the goal we have been looking for.
But here the adventurers flew.
“Chan.”
“Bihos!”
“Cho!”
The leaders of the adventurer parties called out each name, and when each name was called, one adventurer from each party came out.
They were thieves.
They boasted bodies that were more agile than anyone else’s, and soon moved in the direction that the fire arrow had come from.
The leader said to them:
“It’s exploration.”
Don’t overdo it.
Actually, in some ways, that was an overreaction.
Only five people have ever come in here.
Even if we leave room for the unknown, that number is laughable compared to those gathered now.
Still, they were careful.
It wasn’t because I was scared of the other person.
‘Conserve power as much as possible.’
‘The real thing starts from the 3rd floor.’
What’s scary is none other than the strategic comrades breathing right next to you.
‘There are enemies from the 3rd floor onwards.’
That we cannot tolerate even a small loss of power in front of those who will become our enemies in the future.
That is, no one had any intention of exerting power, and of course everyone knew it.
And he was included in all of them.
9.
‘As expected.’
El Palm, he was looking at it from the exact opposite direction from where the Fire Arrow had come from.
It wasn’t difficult.
For him, using telekinesis to control direction was one of the most ridiculous things.
And it wouldn’t be difficult to use that telekinesis to kill about 20 percent of the adventurers you see now.
Still, the reason he hid his power here was simple.
‘You’re selling your body.’
If he were to reveal his true power, he would certainly be able to deliver a fatal blow in a short period of time.
But on the contrary, they will band together to deal with the monster called El Palm.
Even for El Palm, it wasn’t easy for the adventurers who had gathered like that.
‘Yes, you should.’

So El Palm deliberately threw a safe stone.
To hide one’s power.
Of course, it would be the same in the future.
El Palm, he intended to make a threatening but perfectly sensible attack.
And at this point the attack was simple.
El Palm used telekinesis.
“Ugh!”
Then, from a distance, one of the bandits who was running in the direction the Fire Arrow had come from fell to the ground with a gasp.
At the same time he shouted.
“It’s poison!”
10.
“It’s poison!”
The moment that shout came out, no one was surprised.
‘As expected.’
That’s understandable, everyone had this situation in mind.
Yellow Scorpion Chio, he was the same.
‘I used poison.’
He wasn’t surprised.
Because the surest way for the weak to increase their chances of victory was poison.
‘That worked out well.’
Additionally, one of the adventurer groups that were best at using that poison was the Red Scorpion Group.
The reason why the name was Scorpion Group was because they were so good at using the venom of the various scorpions that appeared in the Nihal Desert.
He made money by hunting countless monsters with that poison.
The same was true for the yellow scorpion Chiodo.
He had a variety of scorpion venoms in his possession.
‘The antidote is sufficient.’
And there was an antidote just as effective as the poison.
That means that Chio and his subordinates are pretty safe from the poison used by that adventurer.
On the other hand, other adventurers were not like that.
‘It’s the best scenario.’
It was the best situation for Chio.
Of course, Chio hoped for this.
‘I hope that this opportunity will help reduce the number of other competitors, little by little.’
I hope it turns out well.
It was the same with other adventurers.
Everyone was tapping the calculator in their head.
Of course, there was one common conclusion.
‘Save your body.’
Saving electricity.
“Ugh!”
Around that time, the second victim appeared.
“Who is it?”
“Are you a member of Desert Fox Heshan’s party?”
“Really? Wait, then?”
“Yeah, the second one.”
A second victim at the same party.
“I’m out of luck.”
Of course, no one attached much significance to that fact.
“This is the third victim.”
“It’s poison again this time.”
“What affiliation do you have?”
“Heshan.”
But when the third victim appeared, the adventurers’ heads started to change.
Soon the fourth victim appeared.
“This time it’s Heshan’s party again.”
Four people in a row at the same party.
“I’m really unlucky.”
Of course, no one thought that was intentional.
In a situation where it is difficult to kill even one person, it is impossible to intentionally target only one party member.
But one thing was certain.
‘We’re lucky, though.’
Except for the party of Desert Fox Heshan, the rest of them had no intention of breaking this bad luck.
The same thing happened when the victim appeared again and again.
Everyone tapped their calculators.
Clearly, each of them suffered losses.
‘The Heshan party is suffering great losses.’
But everyone was still tapping away at their calculators rather than putting in all their effort, knowing that there was a major casualty.
“Ugh!”
The counting stopped when the thirty-fourth victim appeared.
At that point everyone realized.
“That’s strange. Does it make sense that thirty-four people died, and twenty of our party died?”
“It’s strange that only Heshan parties are held.”
Should such one-sided damage really be dismissed as just vague bad luck?
You can do it.
But I couldn’t just let it go.
“I think we need to talk.”
That was the moment.
Hurrr!
“Fire Arrow!”
Once again, a fire arrow flew at them, the most ridiculous fire arrow they had ever seen.
“One step!”
Just one step.
Still a ridiculous number.
“I will stop it!”
Just one step ahead of that ridiculous figure, an adventuring warrior raised his shield at Fire Arrow, and everyone let their guard down at the sight.
Because I saw it.
Because I’ve seen that Fire Arrow’s ridiculous ending countless times.
So they let their guard down, and when they let their guard down, they could see.
Shhh!
“Ugh!”
The Fire Arrow snakes in front of the shield, leaps over the shield in one breath, and stabs the warrior in the right eye.
“what?”
The sight soon became apparent to everyone’s eyes, astonished.
“Pah, Fire Arrow.”
Two fire arrows flying.
11.
Two fire arrows.
That was just ridiculous.
But everyone saw it.
‘what?’
‘Did Fire Arrow move like a snake a little while ago?’
The sight of a warrior holding a shield being shot in the eye with a fire arrow and becoming a corpse.
Of course, no one saw that sight properly.
Not only was it not easy to see, but even if you did see it, it wasn’t easy to understand it.
“come!”
That was why, the moment they saw Fire Arrow, all the adventurers, without exception, reacted in the same way as before.
In situations where things don’t go as planned, we tend to react the way we trained.
And the adventurers here are those who have trained countless times to respond like cogs in a clock in situations like this.
So the warrior raised his shield, and those who could hide in the vicinity did so.
As usual.
‘As expected.’
That’s what El Palm intended.
For all this, I have resorted to such crude and boring tricks so far.
Now it was time to reap the rewards of their hard work.
Shhh!
El Palm, his two fire arrows moved in strange trajectories, like swallows flying through the forest.
Phew!
And it was stuck in the eyes, temples, and foreheads of adventurers hiding behind trees or shields.
“Ugh!”
Screams came from all over.
Those who screamed were in a better situation.
dump!
There were quite a few adventurers who died instantly and fell to the ground without even being able to scream.
And after that, the Fire Arrow, which still maintained its form, flew straight towards the next target.
It was a moment.
Shhh!
Fire Arrow, fourteen adventurers fell to a fire attribute magic spell of only one circle.
“f*ck!”
“The healers got hit!”
That’s only for healers.
A healer’s life is more important than anyone else’s, and there is not a single adventurer here who does not know that rule.
gulp!
That fact caused all the adventurers, without exception, to swallow dry saliva.
I felt a chill down my spine.
Shhh!
In the meantime, an attack came.
But no one noticed the attack.
Because it was much smaller than the Fire Arrow, and at the same time, it was a much faster attack than the Fire Arrow.
Above all, no one knew that the magic was Apollo’s fire arrow.
The consequences of that ignorance were disastrous.
Fit!
Two of Apollo’s fiery arrows flew between the adventurers in an instant, taking their lives.
Moreover, Apollo’s fire arrows penetrated.
The difference was very big.
Previously, the Fire Arrow could kill one adventurer with one shot, but Apollo’s Fire Arrow could kill dozens of adventurers with one shot.
That is, massacre is possible.
This time, there were no exceptions to the profession in front of Apollo’s fire arrows.
Warriors, thieves, wizards, pirates.
All types of adventurers, except for the already dead healer, were pierced to death by Apollo’s fire arrows.
In one breath, twenty-five additional adventurers died.
“If we continue like this, we’ll all die!”
And with that death as fertilizer, the leaders of the adventurers came to mind.
“Scatter!”
The best way to live.
That was correct.
If we stay together, we will die quickly.
But if we dispersed, we could at least increase the distance between death and death, even just a little bit of time.
Of course, I didn’t intend to end it with just surviving.
“After they disperse, aim for the bastard!”
The aim is retribution!
“No exceptions! From now on, we are all on the same team!”
And for that punishment, all the surviving adventurers became one team.
“If we don’t kill him, we all die!”
One team risking their lives.
El Palm knew it too.
‘Now we are a different race.’
The adventurers rushing in at this moment are completely different from those who have been weighing things up until now.
Like a pack of wolves cornered in a corner.
‘The lower body is also included.’
Even within that group, there were assassins who were more dangerous than anything else.
‘Confirmed twelve people.’
More than ten people.
That’s why.
It was intentional to do something like that to reduce the number by even just one person.
If there had been just ten more of them than there are now, El Palm’s chances of winning would have been extremely low.
‘It won’t be a problem anymore.’
In other words, El Palm was now confident of victory.
Because he had it.
‘As long as you have the boots of Hermes.’
El Palm, he’s got new shoes.
