Chapter 61. Party Reunion (3)
7.
The Hydra’s Heart expedition was quickly assembled.
There was no reason to be slow.
There are quite a few survivors among the resistance members who had already gone on the offensive.
Above all, the Mystic Gate was located in none other than the secret headquarters of the Resistance.
Member gathering, item procurement, repairs, and supplies are all tasks that must be completed as quickly as possible.
Everyone was just waiting, everything was already ready.
“came.”
May the El Palm Party bring everyone together.
In other words, that was the extent of it.
“Are you ready?”
“Thanks to you, I was fully prepared.”
The importance of El Palm Party in this expedition has become so absolute.
‘Why on earth are you treating me like that… … .’
At first, the other resistance members were unaware of this fact.
Because those who knew about El Palm’s activities, including Albi, did not talk about El Palm’s activities.
‘I believe it because the order came down from above.’
But there was no doubt.
That was the organization called the Resistance.
An organization that does its best without any doubts about the missions given to it.
‘For freedom.’
After all, he knew better than anyone that all of this was for Edelstein’s freedom.
So there was no hesitation.
“We will begin the expedition shortly.”
Even though they had already experienced a life-threatening crisis once, no one bowed their head to that order.
“Then let’s enter!”
At Alby’s words, everyone took the same steps as they did during the previous Blue-rank attack.
So everyone stepped through the blue portal of the Mystic Gate.
8.
As soon as they crossed the portal, what everyone saw was none other than a world swept by a snowstorm.
It was a bad environment.
However, the expedition team faced with that environment had no worries whatsoever.
Far from being worried, everyone was fully prepared.
Because I knew it.
That a blizzard is coming here.
“It’s true.”
However, Debo and his colleagues at El Palm could not help but be surprised when they saw that sight.
“You really know the information inside the Mystic Gate?”
Not only do you find the Mystic Gate, you also transport it and know the information inside it?
To be honest, when El Palm first made that explanation, his colleagues were not only skeptical, they didn’t believe it at all.
If it weren’t for El Palm, I wouldn’t have even heard it.
It was the same after that.
My doubts continued to grow, but when I experienced it firsthand, I had no choice but to admit that it was true.
That wasn’t all.
I heard it through the driving snowstorm.
Awww!
The werewolf’s howl.
Since everyone knew about this in advance, no one was particularly surprised.
Of course, that doesn’t mean we can be completely at ease.
Because they never knew where the information they knew might come from.
That wasn’t all.
‘No matter what, this is where the Maple Alliance failed. It can’t be an ordinary place.’
There was no room to relax when I thought about whose grave this was.
That’s why.
“Mr. Albi.”
“Go ahead.”
“From now on, our party will act independently.”
“yes?”
It was El Palm who went to see Albi and made that offer.
“Excuse me?”
“Our party will secure the path. The resistance can follow it.”
Alby’s eyes narrowed at the suggestion.
That was a difficult thing to understand.
First of all, dispersing power was not a good choice in many ways.
Above all, the Resistance had a strategy.
What monsters appear here, and where the exit to the next floor is.

Of course, a search party is necessary because we never know what kind of threat may come, but that is not the kind of search party that El Palm Party is talking about.
That’s what the guide, El Palm, wanted to do.
“The route is certain. So we need to check it more clearly.”
That’s why.
“We must question the strategy.”
“ah!”
Only then did Albi understand what El Palm had said.
“And our party is better at finding its way than any other party.”
Alby nodded at the following words.
At this point, there was no reason to refuse.
There is only one thing you can do.
“Please take care of me.”
Expressing gratitude.
El Palm nodded in gratitude and disappeared into the snowstorm.
9.
Oww!
A werewolf’s howl echoes through the driving snowstorm.
But the word fear did not exist for El Palm Party as they crossed that eerie stage.
“Werewolf, it’s nice to hear from you after such a long time.”
I have already hunted countless werewolves.
Even unlike back then, now everyone was in the 6th circle.
And these aren’t just any 6 circles, they’re 6 circles achieved through tremendous training and practice!
If you don’t have confidence, that would be a strange thing.
Of course, that doesn’t mean there was no tension.
Even as they took their time and walked, everyone at El Palm Party was wary of their surroundings.
Whew!
I didn’t even miss the sound of the wind.
Sigh!
Meanwhile, the footsteps of El Palm Party were quieter than ever.
It was inevitable that marks would be left on the snow, but the sound was so loud that it made you question whether he was really walking.
Even the footprints were only one.
It was because everyone was following only one set of footsteps.
Proof that El Palm Party’s teamwork has now reached a level where they are virtually one body.
“boss.”
Of course everyone knew.
“Being a guide is just a pretext. Do you have another real purpose?”
El Palm really has something else in mind right now.
“I guess so. Why would you tell the captain that?”
Commander-in-Chief Sigmund only told the El Palm Party about the Maple Alliance’s failure, and kept it a secret from the Resistance.
Because I knew that the moment I told them that fact, the morale of the resistance would hit rock bottom.
In other words, Commander-in-Chief Sigmund admitted it.
I don’t think El Palmar Party will be intimidated by that information, and they’ll find a way out.
And El Palm had only one way to go.
“It seems clear that the purpose is to eliminate the reason why Maple Union failed. Isn’t that right?”
Eliminate the cause.
That is, El Palm was not a guide now, but was trying to make a path, to clean up.
Common sense tells you that it was crazy.
What even the Maple Alliance couldn’t do, a mere five members of the El Palm Party can do?
“Yeah, that’s the boss style.”
But now, no one at El Palm Party was talking about common sense.
Above all, I was confident.
“So, tell me anytime and I’ll sweep it all away.”
Because right now, everyone, including Devo, was unable to control their overflowing power.
El Palm nodded at the sight of his colleagues.
“You guessed it.”
His colleagues smiled at that answer.
“Half.”
“yes?”
But everyone tilted their heads at El Palm’s subsequent words.
If it’s right, it’s right, what does half mean?
“What about the other half?”
“Eliminate the reason why the Maple Union failed and eliminate the boss monsters here.”
“yes?”
And El Palm Party couldn’t help but be surprised by what followed.
“You’re saying you’re going to eliminate the boss monster? So you’re saying we should just clear this place by ourselves?”
No matter what, isn’t the Maple Alliance’s Mystic Gate a failure?
Moreover, it did not end here.
It was clear that the difficulty here would be much higher than when Maple Union failed.
No matter how I think about it, it’s impossible to conquer such a place alone.
So everyone said.
“I’m totally against it!”
“Yeah, this is crazy. I disagree too.”
“Even I think it’s impossible.”
“As expected, boss! Great idea! I believed in you!”
“what?”
Of course, Ralph was an exception.
“Hey, Ralph, what are you talking about?”
“I mean it. I trusted you, Boss!”
“So what do you believe?”
“This is where the Maple Alliance failed. That means the items left behind by the Maple Alliance are still there! If we attack alone, all of those items will naturally become ours!”
Everyone looked at Ralph in bewilderment at the explanation that followed.
It seems that as I became a 6th circle, my desire for money also grew to a higher level.
“Boss, you’re not after the items, are you?”
“right.”
“yes?”
Of course, El Palm had no intention of turning it down.
“As Ralph said, one of the reasons is to obtain the items left behind by the Maple Union.”
But that wasn’t the whole reason.
“The real target is the heart of the Hydra. It is my goal to obtain it. To do so, we must act together.”
The biggest reason El Palm chose this place in the first place was none other than the Hydra’s heart.
From El Palm’s point of view, they had to get their hands on the item somehow.
“No matter what, isn’t it dangerous for us to go alone?”
“It’s more dangerous to move together now. The Resistance might betray us.”
“Betrayal?”
The subsequent explanation raised further questions.
I don’t know about anything else, but it’s honestly hard to imagine the Resistance betraying us.
But to El Palm, it was even stranger that there was no traitor, given that even the secret headquarters of the Resistance was under Blackwing’s surveillance.
“It’s not certain yet, though.”
Although he said so, El Palm was almost certain of it.
There was no further questioning of El Palm’s words.
“So, the correct decision will be made after checking the Maple Alliance’s corpses and assessing the situation. If my prediction is wrong, we will only eliminate the risk factors and continue the attack together with the Resistance. On the other hand, if the Maple Alliance failed because of a traitor, our party will attack alone.”
And the moment they heard those words, El Palm’s colleagues could feel it.
‘If the boss says so.’
‘It is very likely.’
Because El Palm’s warnings always come true.
And this time it was the same.
Awww!
El Palm Party soon found the exit to the second floor, leaving traces of the resistance among the werewolves’ howls.
“It passes.”
As soon as you go up to the second floor, a dense forest appears, and you can find El Palm Party in that forest.
“It’s a corpse.”
The corpse of an adventurer belonging to the Maple Union.
“… … It wasn’t a monster, it was an adventurer who hit me. There’s no way a monster would use these sword marks and arrows.”
And the clear traces of betrayal left on the body.
“It’s just like the boss said.”
The moment he saw it, El Palm Party’s mind became complicated.
El Palm’s words were right. So it was right to go with El Palm’s choice.
But that choice wasn’t easy to follow.
No matter what, it seemed impossible for the El Palm Party to conquer this place, this difficult stage.
That was the moment.
Key!
“this!”
A monster appeared with a snake-like sound towards where the El Palm Party was.
“Green Cornish!”
A group of Green Conian, giant lizards standing on two legs and holding scary swords in each hand.
The terrifying monsters of Minar Forest appeared, not just one, but over a hundred in all.
‘I didn’t even have a clue.’
What was even scarier was that El Palm Party had been on alert all along the perimeter, but no one had any idea they were coming this far.
That’s what was scary about Green Cornish.
Unlike the Centaur, who showed off his presence without hesitation, the Green Conian was as quiet as an assassin.
Of course, there was one exception.
El Palm, he had already known a little while ago that Green Cornian was coming.
However, there was one reason why El Palm did not come forward.
“Boss, what should we do?”
El Palm, he wore the helmet of Hyperion.
“Watch.”
“yes?”
And showed it.
“Fire Arrow.”
An arrow of fire that glows blue.
