Chapter 8. Unique Items (4)
7.
The value of the circle to an adventurer was indescribable.
Once the circle grows, more powerful skills can be used.
The number of skills available at the same time has also increased.
Even if you use the same skill, its power is doubled, and as your magic power increases, there is an explosive increase in all aspects, including the number of times you can use the skill, the power you can maintain, etc.
“The difference between Circle 1 and Circle 2 adventurers is the difference between a child and an adult. And Circle 2 and Circle 3 adventurers are the difference between a person and a tiger.”
The difference was more than the adventurers thought.
“There is no comparison between a human and a tiger. But what would happen if a human were to become a tiger?”
So that was the problem.
“Can you really hunt like a tiger? You’ve lived your whole life as a human, but the moment you turn into a tiger?”
The difference was so great that it was impossible to use the power properly.
Because of this, there were many adventurers who had just circled up to the 3rd circle and were unable to use even half of their abilities.
Of course, it was still strong. It was so strong that it could not even be compared to the 2nd Circle. Just like a tiger could kill a human just by swinging its hand.
Anyway, that was normal.
No matter how talented a person is, or how many are called geniuses, there has never been a case where they were able to fully demonstrate their abilities the moment they started a circle.
In the first place, it wasn’t a matter of talent. It was a matter of experience.
That was why.
Kkuek!
El Palm, whose Fire Arrow just reached 3rd Circle, pierced the heads of the Ribbon Pigs like orange mushrooms.
El Palm, because he had more experience than anyone else.
More than any adventurer in this world.
So, the 3-circle circle up was El Palm’s trump card.
If it was only to the extent of becoming moderately stronger, wouldn’t it be impossible for El Palm, who had all sorts of rare items and skill cards, to classify it as a trump card?
Of course, this is only El Palm’s perspective.
‘ah.’
From Kiri’s perspective, who was watching the scene, it was simply an area of incomprehension.
Because of that, Kiri still couldn’t come to her senses even after everything was over.
“It’s El Palm.”
But the moment El Palm spoke, that moment was different.
She came to her senses.
“… … I need help.”
The first words she uttered after that were a request.
“There is trolling happening here right now. And it’s not just trolling. There is a traitor within the ranks of the Knights Templar.”
A brief explanation follows.
“I must report this to the Knights Templar. Please. If they will help me, I will pay any price. Even if it means my life.”
The last one to come out.
El Palm’s eyes narrowed when he heard that.
‘It was worth saving him.’
In fact, El Palm had prepared several scenarios before saving Kiri.
The worst scenario among them was when Kiri came out in an overbearing manner, mentioning the existence of the Signus Knights.
Since it’s the work of the Knights of Signus, don’t be a slanderer and follow them unconditionally! Such absurd cases.
Surprisingly, there were many cases like that.
Unlike adventurers, the Knights of Signus were knights who followed the orders of Empress Signus, and they did not hesitate to use any means necessary to carry out those orders.
The adventurer’s way of thinking was different.
El Palm has experienced that situation countless times.
But fortunately, Kiri was different.
‘It’s a knight.’
She had a sense of mission worthy of a member of the Knights of Signus.
“I do not accept the Knights’ request.”
If so, the story becomes simple.
“From this time on, all decisions in this party are mine.”
Kiri nodded without hesitation to El Palm’s words, and her eyes were filled with determination.
It was because of faith.
‘This adventurer can do it.’
El Palm said of that belief.
“Then let’s get rid of the trolls during this time.”
“what?”
At those words, Kiri’s expression changed.
“What does that mean?”
What she thought was possible was to exit this Mystic Gate with El Palm.
And that was common sense.
“The enemy is not an ordinary guy.”
First of all, those who committed trolling here were not just ordinary people.
“Even the Knights Templar hide a traitor!”
They were like true assassins, holding their breath in various places and then exploding at crucial moments.
Moreover, their purpose was not simple profit.

“These guys are making huge preparations to kill everyone!”
If things had continued as they were today, the top 10 in the port city of Leith would have suffered a pretty fatal blow.
No, the blow was already great. The promising players and skilled players they had worked so hard to nurture died without any results.
The bigger problem is that if the story had gone the way the trolls wanted, the top wouldn’t even have known the reason for the damage.
This was the key.
If only the guys who trolled here got out alive, the world would never know what they did.
They could distort the truth at will.
That means they are that scary and courageous.
“Do you know how many enemies there are?”
Also, none of the elements about the enemy, such as their number, level, skill, or ability, are even properly understood at present.
But how do you deal with them?
“It might be hidden.”
Crucially, it is very difficult at this point to tell who is a troll.
A difficult situation in many ways.
Of course, there was only one thing El Palm could say about him.
“No problem.”
From Kiri’s perspective, this is an absurd statement.
“Hey, don’t be so surprised.”
Divo said to Kiri like that.
“The real surprise hasn’t even started yet.”
“what?”
“From now on, when you hang out with your boss, just give up thinking.”
It was exactly as he said.
“From now on, Kiri and Divo will be the bait.”
The moment he heard those words, Kiri gave up thinking.
8.
When the 100 Mystic Gates were discovered, and news of it reached the top 10 in the port city of Reese, the order was given to William.
“Kill all adventurers within the 100 Mystic Gate.”
When the order was given, William had no doubts.
“For the Black Mage, the great one.”
Because it was the command of the great transcendent being who would change the world anew, the god who would set the world right.
At the same time, he never questioned whether it was possible or not.
It wasn’t because of my faith in the Black Wizard.
“Fourteen people will help you. Your colleagues who are hiding in various places in the upper 10s will join you.”
First of all, there were fifteen traitors deployed.
This alone seemed to have decided whether the work would be successful or not.
If those fifteen people had just poisoned the food their comrades were eating, that alone would have ended the situation.
There were no problems with the subsequent handling.
“Once you eliminate all the adventurers and get out, I’ll kiss you. I barely survived.”
If fifteen people, survivors from each party, gathered together and told the same story, the world would have no reason to doubt.
Of course, that was the biggest reason that left no room for doubt.
“Take it.”
I received the item.
“The Black Wizard will help you, William.”
Unique grade items.
“Your fire magic will become even more brilliant.”
An item powerful enough to make a 2nd circle magician adventurer equal to a 3rd circle adventurer.
The moment he received such an item, the word failure was impossible to even imagine in William’s mind.
That was the reason.
“Uh, how… … .”
William’s eyes, as he died with the corpses of his comrades before his eyes, shook more violently than ever.
A man appeared before William’s eyes.
And the man said,
“Fire Arrow.”
That was the last thing William heard.
9.
“Fire Arrow.”
The flaming arrow that appeared from El Palm’s shoulder along with the horse struck William’s face.
There was no scream.
El Palm has hunted as many adventurers as he has hunted monsters. The era when monsters were abundant was a time when the world’s balance and morality collapsed, and in such an era, many adventurers became outlaws and looters. In order to survive, they had no choice but to hunt them.
And I’ve hunted down more followers of the Black Mage.
Thanks to that, he knew better than anyone else how to kill them easily.
It wasn’t a very pleasant ability. It wasn’t an ability I wanted to have.
That’s why El Palm wasn’t impressed.
“Boss, are you okay?”
“The fifteenth.”
“Have you caught them all?”
“okay.”
Seeing El Palm’s uninspired expression, Divo let out a laugh without realizing it.
Kiri looked as if she had forgotten how to speak.
That’s how strong El Palm was.
“You are truly amazing.”
“Fifteen, not as strong as I thought.”
“Of course, it’s just a bite in front of the boss.”
Divo couldn’t deny El Palm’s words one bit.
Of course, El Palm didn’t say those words to show off his strength or to receive praise from Divo.
He had little interest in killing the followers of the Black Mage.
I was just judging it coolly.
“It is not enough to say that you planned to troll with this level of skill.”
“yes?”
If you’re planning to troll the top 10 in the port city of Leith, you’re going to have to have some kind of trump card.
That was why.
El Palm began to strip dead William of his clothes.
“you!”
The one who reacted to that sight was none other than Kiri.
“What are you doing?”
She was a knight of the Order of Signus, and with the chivalry she held, it was unacceptable for her to insult the dead.
Even if that enemy was trying to kill you.
Of course, that was the standard of chivalry.
“Trolling of this scale requires confidence more than anything else. It’s impossible for someone with this level of ability to be confident. They must have had a card that could give them confidence.”
El Palm was an adventurer.
He was also the last adventurer, an adventurer who faced the end of the world to the end.
‘I need a card for anything.’
He had no intention of turning down the opportunity to obtain the precious card.
And there were no problems.
“No matter what, it is insulting to the dead… … .”
“Kiri, I am the leader of the party. And the attack is not over yet.”
Because Kiri had neither the power nor the justification to stop El Palm.
In the end, Kiri shut her mouth, and in front of her, El Palm took off all of William’s clothes.
Still, nothing really came out.
Just a few items he used.
“Isn’t there something in your shoes?”
But El Palm did not give up. No, rather, he became convinced the moment the item stopped coming out.
“Then it must be inside the skin.”
“yes?”
“Sometimes you hide an item inside your body. If it’s something really valuable, there’s nothing more certain than that.”
I’m sure there will be a really good card.
“So, are you planning to do an autopsy now?”
“No way.”
And it didn’t take El Palm much effort to find that card.
“There is a mano.”
Kkueng!
He had a great snail.
And Mano did his job brilliantly. The moment he got on William’s body, he moved to the area around his right chest and started dissolving the corpse with his characteristic acidic liquid.
After that, he took out what looked like a feather from inside and brought it to El Palm.
It was a bird’s feather.
Feathers of a bird with red feathers.
“Boss, what is that?”
A bird’s feather, nothing special besides.
But it was different for El Palm.
El Palm knew it the moment he saw it.
‘I never thought the phoenix feather would come out of here.’
The unique grade item is the Phoenix Feather.
‘Just by owning it, the power of all fire attribute magic increases by 20%.’
Of course, El Palm also knew the effects of the phoenix’s feather.
‘He was a great guy. He saved my life thousands of times.’
Better than anyone else.
“It is a unique grade item.”
“yes?”
“what?”
Of course, Divo and Kiri, who had no way of knowing that fact, reacted in surprise and fright.
Could it be that that feather is a unique grade item?
El Palm said to the two who were so surprised.
“Then, let’s move on to the next operation.”
Calmly.
“So are you leaving now?”
“no.”
“Huh? You said this was the next operation? We’ve caught all the kids here, so now all that’s left to do is get out, right?”
“There is still one more unique grade item left.”
“One more? No way?”
“Yes, we hunt boss monsters.”
So El Palm began his next hunt.
