Chapter 67. Guardian Angel Slime (5)
12.
Woof!
It was a really subtle vibration.
The vibration is so subtle that even the wearer cannot feel it!
And the vibration was very short.
It didn’t vibrate multiple times, it just trembled once for a really short moment.
In most cases, you can just ignore it and move on.
Even if you were aware of it, it wasn’t something you needed to worry about too much.
“It’s Fried’s ring.”
But the moment the ring’s identity was confirmed, no one could just pass it up.
Okay, I got it.
If it is none other than Fried’s ring that is showing a special change here and now, there is only one reason for it: “It must resonate with Fried’s brooch, right?”
The moment they knew the reason, everyone’s eyes changed.
In fact, everyone had similar expectations as El Palm.
‘I couldn’t find Mano.’
They hoped that their excellent colleague Mano would help them find Fried’s brooch.
Of course, contrary to expectations, Mano did not find Fried’s brooch, so everyone thought.
You need to catch the Guardian Angel Slime to get Fried’s Brooch.
But what if you can get Fried’s brooch before catching the Guardian Angel Slime?
‘It’s the best-case scenario.’
It wasn’t just a story about getting Fried’s brooch.
‘Because something ridiculous is falling into the boss’ hands again.’
The ability of the ring of Fried that El Palm previously obtained was Double Up, which increased the number of all magic used by two.
Fried’s items have shown such ridiculous abilities.
What if something like that falls into El Palm’s hands again?
This means that El Palm has once again become a monster that defies common sense.
Of course, now it was just resonating.
No one knew what resonance meant. In other words, there was not a single clue.
But finding items with that? It’s not much different from finding a needle in a haystack in the sands of the Nihal Desert.
But there was no need to worry about that.
‘If it’s the boss, they’ll find it.’
Because the one who held that clue was none other than the adventurer El Palm.
The greatest adventurer in the world!
El Palm lived up to the expectations of his colleagues.
After several tests, El Palm was able to quickly determine the conditions for resonance and find the direction.
Eventually El Palm discovered.
“Entrance group.”
A huge tree, with a tiny entrance underneath.
“I didn’t know there was something like this.”
“How do I find it?”
Everyone who saw it looked dumbfounded.
“They are really a bunch of trash.”
It’s driving me crazy just catching Guardian Angel Slimes, but they hid Fried’s brooch in a place like this?
It just means I won’t give it to you.
But El Palm thought differently.
‘You gave me a chance.’
By his standards, this was rather a consideration from the followers of the Black Mage for the adventurers who came to visit.
If you’re good enough, you can find Fried’s Brooch first and then catch the Guardian Angel Slime.
‘It’s bringing tears to my eyes.’
At this point, El Palm thought that Fried had given him the brooch on purpose.
No, it wasn’t as bad as I thought.
El Palm was now convinced.
The followers of the Black Mage hope that these items will fall into the hands of adventurers.
I hope adventurers become stronger.
In other words, it was the Black Mage’s followers who wanted El Palm to obtain Fried’s brooch here.
“Going in.”
But El Palm didn’t hesitate and squeezed himself through the narrow entrance.
Finally, El Palm saw.
“It’s a relic?”
“Yes, it’s Partem.”
The ruins are identical to those of the ancient ruins of Partem.
That was it.
“It seems like there are no monsters.”
There was nothing within the ruins that could threaten the adventurers, and thanks to that, El Palm Party was able to reach it.
“Boss, over there.”
“okay.”

The end of the ruins.
“This is Fried’s brooch.”
A blue gem brooch placed proudly there.

despair.
In a situation where they had no choice but to say that, the adventurers’ eyes changed.
‘I’m going to die like this.’
The eyes of the adventurers who faced death right before their eyes began to burn brightly and hotly.
The adventurers here were of that type.
‘It’s not easy to die.’
A type that becomes more angry and possessed by evil rather than becoming helpless or collapsing in the face of death.
And because I am that type of person, I was able to be here.
Because an adventurer who has fallen to his knees in despair can never venture higher or deeper.
Of course, that doesn’t mean I was positive about the situation or anything like that.
Their survival instincts began to sharpen more than ever as they felt threatened.
It wasn’t all that good.
Obviously, combat performance will improve.
But it was very difficult to maintain this state of all senses being in a state of confusion.
It is something that can only lead to endless physical and mental exhaustion.
Above all, I couldn’t change this state at will.
Because it was something my instincts told me to do.
“The battle continues!”
In this state of heightened sensitivity, the adventurers began hunting Guardian Angel Slimes again.
This time it was different than before.
“It’s a teleport!”
“East! East!”
“Change battle formation!”
I somehow managed to block the teleportation.
“It’s a slime wave!”
However, at least five adventurers were sacrificed in front of the merciless Slime Wave skill.
During the day-long battle, more than forty adventurers died.
‘Forty people a day.’
There everyone’s calculations were done.
‘In ten days, everything will be destroyed.’
Worst calculation ever.
In fact, it is now a situation where failure is certain.
Of course, no one was discouraged or their eyes darkened by that fact.
As I said before, the adventurers gathered here are the type that burn with fear in the face of crisis.
At the moment when death was imminent, even madness began to appear in their eyes.
‘Okay, then let’s just finish it off.’
If I had to die, I planned to do my best and give it my all.
This is literally a bomb situation!
“Look who’s coming over there.”
“who?”
“It’s El Palm.”
In that situation, El Palm came to find the adventurers.
“What’s going on here?”
Naturally, the adventurers reacted more sharply than ever.
Enough to kill El Palm based on what he says.
For adventurers who had accepted death immediately, that was a story that could easily happen.
“I would like to make a proposal.”
“Is this a food offer?”
“no.”
“then?”
“Please give me a chance.”
“opportunity?”
To them El Palm said:
“What chance?”
“This is your chance to catch the Guardian Angel Slime.”
That was the moment when those words were spoken.
Kaang!
A creaking noise was heard in front of El Palm.
It was the sound of a warrior adventurer with his sword drawn and the clash of Divo’s polearm.
If Devo hadn’t stopped it, the black sword would have pierced El Palm.
El Palm’s words were enough to anger the adventurers.
Of course, there wasn’t just one adventurer who moved.
Crunch!
“Everyone, calm down.”
Dozens of arrowheads and gun barrels were visible in front of Miner, who took out his horse along with the gun.
That was quite surprising.
Using a gun meant you were a pirate, and Miner, Captain Kairin’s disciple, was an opponent that pirates could never point a gun at.
In other words, what El Palm Party did just now was a statement that provoked the adventurers to that extent.
“You’d better think carefully about what you say next. We’re sensitive right now.”
If El Palm’s next words aren’t satisfying, then it’s time for both of them to start bleeding.
“The proposal is as I said. Please give me a chance to attack the Guardian Angel Slime.”
A critical situation like that.
“Then I will give you Fried’s brooch.”
“what?”
But the mood changed completely with El Palm’s next words.
“What should I give you?”
Instead of answering that question, El Palm took out Fried’s brooch.
Of course, no one knew that it was Fried’s brooch.
It means that the truth or falsehood is unknown.
But Fried’s relics were in themselves very special.
“I will give you as much time as you want to verify.”
It means that you will find out if you investigate.
This meant that even if El Palm lied, he would be caught.
Above all, everyone knew.
‘Is there a reason to do this?’
What El Palm wants to do is catch the Guardian Angel Slime.
Of course, for adventurers who were already prepared for failure, that would be something they would be grateful for.
It’s just that my pride won’t allow it.
But, with Fried’s brooch, it was easy to put aside that pride.
Naturally, everyone continued to weigh the options in their heads, and then one of them said:
“We don’t have time.”
The important part.
“I have even more time to watch your clown show.”
Regardless of El Palm’s success or failure, the adventurers could not even make a last-ditch effort if they ran out of food.
That means El Palm’s proposal isn’t worth considering.
“I know.”
That’s why El Palm said.
“So just give me one day.”
It doesn’t take long.
“what?”
The adventurers’ expressions became even more distorted at El Palm’s words.
“Are you kidding me?”
“You think we can catch that in one day? We won’t be able to catch that guy even in a month?”
“Let’s not talk anymore. That kid is just playing a trick on us.”
Because it was an absurd statement.
It wasn’t just adventurers.
‘Boss, what are you planning to do?’
El Palm’s colleagues who heard this also knew how absurd this statement was.
To all of them El Palm said:
“It doesn’t matter if you can or not. Just think about it simply. Give our party a day. All you have to do is rest and watch for a day. Then you will have Fried’s brooch.”
The adventurers’ eyes changed at those words.
Because reason, not instinct, spoke.
El Palm’s offer was very sweet.
‘Give me Fried’s brooch.’
‘Take a day off.’
In particular, the part that sounded the sweetest to the adventurers’ ears was the part about rest.
I’ve been running like crazy for over ten days now, dealing with the Guardian Angel Slime.
I couldn’t even sleep properly.
Especially everyone is in a state of extreme tension right now!
In that situation, a day of rest would have been more urgent than 100 million mesos.
The adventurers eventually fell for its sweetness.
“good.”
“You like it?”
Of course, not everyone was like that.
“A day or so will be okay, right?”
“Why do you trust him?”
“Then, if I don’t accept that offer, will the current situation change at all?”
There was an internal strife among the adventurers.
At that point their leader spoke.
“I will accept your offer.”
El Palm’s proposal is sweet, but if left alone, it could lead to internal strife.
That fact made me decide.
‘As expected.’
And this whole situation was exactly as El Palm had planned from the beginning.
“thank you.”
El Palm finished the deal like that.
At the same time, the situation was quickly resolved.
The adventurers who had been fighting the Guardian Angel Slime began to retreat like the tide, as if they had been waiting for it.
Only Guardian Angel Slime and El Palm Party remain.
“No, boss!”
Only then did El Palm’s colleagues shout.
“What on earth were you talking about?”
“You want to give me Fried’s brooch that I barely managed to get? That’s ridiculous!”
El Palm said to that cry:
“The important thing is to catch it first.”
At those words, Miner shouted.
“Hey! That’s not the point! Do you think you can catch that thing in one day?”
It was the key.
Because it was absolutely impossible to catch a Guardian Angel Slime in one day, let alone a month.
Because it was something that was bound to fail.
“That’s right.”
El Palm knew it too.
So originally, El Palm was planning to join hands with the adventurers and catch the Guardian Angel Slime together.
“But things changed once Fried’s brooch came in.”
At that, Debo frowned and said.
“No, boss. What exactly is the item’s ability that makes you say that?”
No matter how great the ability was, it felt impossible to catch that Guardian Angel Slime in one day.
It definitely was.
“My magic power becomes infinite for 30 minutes.”
Until I heard that.
