Chapter 70. Magatia Rescue Squad (5)
12.
Umar, he prayed.
Anyone, please save me.
Except for one person.
“I came to save you.”
But now, that one person, El Palm, was right in front of me.
To save no one else but yourself.
Of course, at this moment, Umar could not be infinitely happy about this situation, about the fact that he had been rescued.
‘Why this kid of all people!’
Rather, I am just overwhelmed by despair.
Umar hated El Fam that much. He could not like him.
It wasn’t a problem of that level that I suffered a loss because of it.
The financial loss was certainly painful, but it was not enough to change Umar’s life forever.
‘This bastard ruined everything for me!’
The problem is that El Palm, and because of it, Umar’s plan to mass-produce chimeras completely collapsed.
‘If it weren’t for this kid, we wouldn’t be in this crisis!’
If the plan to mass produce chimeras had gone smoothly back then, the Magatia Underground Laboratory would have become Umar’s Chimera Kingdom.
And it would be possible to handle a crisis of this level with the monsters commanded by that Chimera army.
It means the worst thing to Umar!
The bigger problem is that even at this point, Umar’s lifeline was still in El Fam’s hands.
Because El Fam knew what Umar was planning.
Because if he had just stabbed it in the stomach, Umar would have been executed at any moment.
That was another reason why I received this commission from the Adventurer’s Association.
If you gain recognition from the Adventurer’s Association, a core force in the Maple Alliance, you may receive protection.
From Umar’s point of view, there are many reasons why he cannot help but be angry at El Fam.
“What you said a little while ago.”
Even Umar cried out:
“Make sure to keep it.”
With earnestness, he said he would do anything if only I would save him.
At that point, Umar felt a greater sense of despair fill his eyes than ever before.
‘I’d rather be dead.’
At this moment, I’m rooting for Coolie Zombie rather than El Palm.
Of course, that support soon went down the drain.
Oh my!
El Palm and his companions appeared and crushed the coolie zombies.
‘Uh, how?’
I knew El Palm Party was going to be a big deal.
‘Cooli zombie?’
However, the Coolie Zombie was a monster so powerful that it was difficult even for great adventurers.
But El Palm Party was crushing those coolie zombies mercilessly and brutally.
Of course, the reason was obvious.
That the El Palm Party is much stronger now than it was then.
‘shit.’
This meant that all of Umar’s plans became meaningless.
The influence of El Palmar Fati had grown so strong that it was beyond Umar’s control.
There Umar finally gave up.
‘My f*cking life.’
And when I gave up, things actually got easier.
‘Okay, let’s get out alive for now.’
When you give up everything and only focus on survival, El Palm Party is more trustworthy than anyone else.
‘It’s better to roll around in sh*t alive than to roll around in it alive. Of course.’
Even Umar could not deny that.
There was no time for that.
This is the place occupied by Richie.
There was nothing good about staying there for a long time.
“What about the thing you were making?”
So when the question was asked, Umar said:
“It was being developed in a secret location set up separately in Magatia’s underground laboratory.”
“What about the level of completion?”
“A few test pieces have been completed. Although they are test pieces, they should function without any major problems.”
Umar’s expression as he spoke was not good.
Okay, I got it.
“The problem is that if we have to rebuild it… … we have to rebuild the research equipment there, too, so it’ll take quite some time.”
No one knew better than I the importance of the item that would tell me when the Mystic Gate would become a bomb.
So I knew very well what it meant to delay the time it took to make it.
“How long will it take?”

“It will take at least another month.”
For that one month, people all over Maple World will experience the same horrors that Magatia is experiencing now.
“Which one?”
“It’s a bit far from here.”
But there was nothing I could do.
I had barely managed to rescue Umar, so it was crazy to risk my life going there.
Also, looking at it differently, once you have Umar, you can create an item that will tell you the remaining time of the Mystic Gate after a month.
That is, when you step back here.
“Over there?”
“Yes? Yes.”
“good.”
And the moment that conversation was over, El Palm looked at Umar and said:
“Then let’s move now. It’s dangerous, so follow me carefully.”
Umar nodded at those words.
‘Finally out!’
Because it was time to go out in this hellish place.
Naturally, I moved closer to the El Palm Party than ever before.
‘huh?’
And as he took a few steps, Umar felt something strange.
“Isn’t the exit out here?”
To that question, El Palm said:
“know.”
“yes?”
“I have no intention of going out now.”
“yes?”
Umar is terrified at those words.
“No, what kind of nonsense is that?”
That was the moment.
“ah.”
Umar thought of one scenario.
“Could it be that Magatia has been taken over by Coolie Zombies right now?”
The number of cases I was worried about.
“Damn, as expected!”
But the chances of that happening were pretty high.
Magatia was woefully short of adventurers and warriors capable of stopping the Coolie Zombies.
On the other hand, the number of humans who could become coolie zombies was overflowing.
This means that a world of coolie zombies can be created in an instant, like a fire spreading through a dry field!
In any case, it was the worst for Umar.
Because it meant that there was no way to escape.
“I knew it!”
At that point, Umar vented his anger.
“I knew this would happen the moment I left that damned Mystic Gate alone! I knew we’d all die!”
El Palm said in such anger:
“The top is fine.”
“Yeah, I thought you’d be okay… … Yeah?”
“The situation has been resolved. All that remains is this place, the underground laboratory.”
Umar looked as if he had no idea what El Palm’s continued explanation was about.
“Then why aren’t you going out?”
Then why on earth don’t you go up?
“Because I have to catch Richie.”
13.
Nihal Desert.
In the vast desert of Ariant, which is located on top of that desert, it took quite some time for the rumor to spread.
Of course, it took a lot more time to think about the situation than just getting a report.
It was a full day later that Crown Prince Kashan dispatched a rescue party centered around Muhammad to Magatia and received the report from the rescue party.
That’s why.
“Oh my god. A coolie zombie!”
The moment Crown Prince Kashan heard the news, he instinctively felt that something more serious than ever had happened.
‘Something uncontrollable happens.’
Because of the geographical characteristics of the Ariant Kingdom, I knew that it would be very difficult to deal with any problems that arose.
‘Even more so if you have a lich. Even Magatia.’
And that geographical feature could make this accident that just happened a disaster.
Time is of the essence to prevent that!
“We will mobilize all our forces.”
“yes?”
“Send 10,000 warriors to Magatia as soon as possible.”
That’s why his subordinates were terrified by his radical decision.
“Wow, Crown Prince! That can’t be!”
It was natural.
“Mobilizing 10,000 warriors requires the permission of King Abdullah VIII!”
Something beyond the authority of Crown Prince Kashan.
And common sense would not have permitted Abdullah VIII to deploy 10,000 warriors on this mission.
It would only tarnish Crown Prince Kashan’s reputation.
Of course, there was no reason for his subordinates to object to that extent.
Because I knew the personality of Crown Prince Kashan.
“If we get permission, it will be too late. Time is of the essence. This is not a metaphor. The later we go, the more people in the kingdom will die.”
That he was a man who could act unilaterally, ignoring King Abdullah VIII.
So that was the problem.
He is still only the crown prince, but he moves the army on his own?
It wouldn’t be strange if this were treated as treason.
Moreover, the justification was not clear.
Even Crown Prince Kashan’s decision did not end here.
“I also ask for help from the Adventurer’s Association and the Maple Alliance. No matter the cost, I will receive the best support. Even if it means putting my name on it.”
Crown Prince Kashan!
He brought in outside forces to help him get this done.
‘oh my god.’
‘Even if this works out well, it’s a loss.’
This was a decision that was bound to be poorly received, even if things were handled well.
What if things go wrong?
What if Crown Prince Kashan was making such a fuss over nothing?
‘If something goes wrong, the Crown Prince’s position will be in danger.’
It would not have been surprising if King Abdullah VIII had ousted Crown Prince Kashan from the position of Crown Prince.
Even if that weren’t the case, it was obvious that the powers of the Ariant Kingdom would try to keep the Kashan crown prince in check in some way.
Prince Kashan was a new wave, and while the people who had been exploited by that wave were excited, for those who had been exploiting the people, it was just a wave that would swallow them up.
Prince Kashan also knew.
That your determination is excessive.
‘My gut tells me this is not normal.’
But at this moment, Crown Prince Kashan believed.
‘It doesn’t seem like this will end. There is a possibility that another huge incident will occur. Then we shouldn’t respond every time. We need to establish a solid organization and system now.’
It is time to stake your fate on this matter.
Of course, I couldn’t help but feel wavering.
More than anything, at this moment Crown Prince Kashan felt uneasy.
‘If we make a mistake, the Ariant Kingdom, or perhaps even Maple World, could be shaken.’
The anxiety that he might not be able to protect the lives of the people of the Ariant Kingdom that he had to shoulder.
An adventurer came to the mind of Crown Prince Kashan.
“El Palm.”
“yes?”
And the moment he heard the name of the adventurer that had appeared, the subordinate asked back in surprise.
“I’m sorry. I misheard you.”
“El Palm.”
Prince Kashan said to his subordinate:
“Find El Palm.”
‘I need him now.’
That in a situation where he must face more difficult adventures than ever before, he needs adventurers like El Palm.
It goes without saying that the Crown Prince of Kashan was willing to spare no conditions in order to recruit El Palm.
The subordinates also knew the feelings of Crown Prince Kashan.
If it weren’t for El Palm, he wouldn’t have been alive, let alone become the crown prince.
That is why the Crown Prince of Kashan’s faith in the adventurer El Palm was incomparable to anything else.
The subordinates also knew that recruiting El Palm would be a great help in this situation.
There was only one problem.
“Your Highness, it won’t be easy to find him. He is an adventurer.”
Finding adventurers is harder than you think.
Especially in the case of El Palm, just hearing rumors about it was enough to cause a stir all over Maple World.
Are you looking for him in advance?
A nearly impossible task.
“No matter how many days it takes, no matter how much it costs, find it somehow.”
However, Crown Prince Kashan’s will was firm, and at that moment, his subordinates did not say anything that could not be done anymore.
If the Crown Prince said this, there was only one thing the subordinates had to do.
“yes.”
Something that is performed with one’s life at stake.
So Crown Prince Kashan and his men began to move quickly.
I started gathering warriors and also contacted the Maple Union.
That was it.
“Oh, I got a call from Muhammad.”
The unexpected news arrived, and the Prince of Kashan was surprised by it and said:
“What’s going on?”
“That, that’s what Richie said.”
At those words, Prince Kashan’s expression hardened.
“To Magatia’s underground laboratory.”
Because that was the moment when the worst became reality.
That is why Crown Prince Kashan came to his senses even more.
“… … Why Richie? 10,000 won’t be enough. I’ll have to increase the number to 50,000.”
Because it was the job of the Crown Prince of Kashan to keep his wits about him in any situation.
“Oh, that’s it, Richie caught it.”
“what?”
But the moment he heard that story, Crown Prince Kashan couldn’t help but lose consciousness for a moment.
Something unimaginable.
“Who, who caught it?”
And then the subordinate spoke to the Crown Prince of Kashan, who had barely come to his senses and was asking questions.
“This is El Palm.”
The moment he heard those words, Crown Prince Kashan lost consciousness.
