Chapter 72. The Golden Temple (2)
4.
Golden Temple.
It was a place so beautiful and mysterious that the rich people of Maple World would visit at least once.
“You haven’t been to the Golden Temple? Then you can’t be called rich.”
It is no wonder that one of the conditions for becoming rich in Maple World is to see the Golden Temple.
“Of course it’s dangerous.”
But no matter how thoroughly prepared, the Golden Temple was dangerous.
“The monkeys outside the Golden Temple are strong enough to tear apart most monsters with their bare hands.”
To be exact, the forest outside the Golden Temple, the Forest of the Ascetics, was dangerous.
“The most dangerous of them all is the leader of the monkeys, the white-haired leader monkey. He is a monster among monsters that can even tear apart 5th circle adventurers with his bare hands.”
Especially if you encounter a white-haired giant monkey, it’s better to write a will than hope to survive.
“Is that all? As a leader, he treats all the monkeys in the forest as his subordinates. You can’t know the fear of that army of monkeys unless you experience it. Of course, most of those who have experienced it will never experience it again.”
After hearing the explanation up to this point, touring the Golden Temple just sounds like a crazy thing to do.
Especially if they are rich people who value their lives more than anything else!
“Well, you don’t have to worry too much.”
Nevertheless, the reason I was willing to travel to the Golden Temple was simple.
“Because monsters never come to the Golden Temple.”
That there is a safe zone.
That is why the Golden Temple became even more popular.
Monsters can’t come!
Because it was a mysterious event that was hard to see anywhere in Maple World.
There was even such a tour.
“There is also a tourist course where you can enjoy watching the monsters run away in fear the moment you get close to the Golden Temple while being chased by them.”
A tour where rich people who don’t have to deal with monsters can truly experience the thrill of being chased by monsters.
Of course, those who heard it said it was crazy, but that’s what rich people are like.
Those who have enjoyed all kinds of pleasure.
Anyway, that’s what the Golden Temple was.
It was a place where the presence of any monster was not tolerated.
Ukkikki!
But now the golden temple was full of monsters.
Kkieeee!
It’s not just any monster, it’s a very powerful monster called the White-Furred Captain Monkey.
“Five.”
There’s not even one, but five white-haired master monkeys?
Only then did everyone know.
“I can see why they all died.”
No one can reach the Golden Temple now.
“How on earth did this happen?”
El Palmar, looking at the golden temple from above, first raised a question.
“I heard that the Golden Temple was a sacred place that monsters could not enter?”
The answer to that was simple.
“It must be because of the Mystic Gate.”
I can’t explain exactly what happened, but I’m sure what the culprit was.
“Well, there’s no other reason than that. It’s going to be a bigger headache. There are five boss monsters here.”
“That’s not all. There are plenty of other monkeys too.”
“Yeah, even though they look like that, each and every one of them is huge.”
“How huge is it?”
“Do you know Lupin?”
“I know very well.”
“That one ferocious monkey you see over there could easily tear apart a hundred Lupins?”
Additionally, the difficulty of hunting the monsters currently in the Golden Temple was indescribably high.
At that point, everyone understood now.
“It’s worth warning.”
Why did the old man of Muling tell me not to go?
“At this point, I should be warned.”
Of course, El Palm thought differently.
‘There’s no way someone this old would have warned me.’
That’s not all.
That would be the case, because the old man El Palm knew was a skilled adventurer close to the level of an 8th circle adventurer.
Even Nokong alone would be enough to deal with the group of white-haired monkey leaders who have now taken over the Golden Temple.
‘Something is happening.’
Still, there must have been another reason for the warning.
‘But there is only one thing to do.’
Of course, that didn’t change El Palm’s plans.
“Boss, what should we do? It looks like the crane will drop us soon.”
“I’ll handle it.”

El Palm’s colleagues nodded at those words.
It was clearly not an easy situation.
However, the white-haired leader monkey was a green-grade boss monster according to the Mystic Gate.
Are there five of those white-haired monkeys?
Blue-grade Mystic Gate, similar in difficulty to conquering a Mystic Gate with 400 or more people.
For most adventurers, this was a daunting task.
But it was different for El Palmar Party.
“Yes, I have to deal with it.”
The party that has conquered countless Blue-rank Mystic Gates so far was the El Palm party.
Crucially, they had him.
‘There’s a boss.’
‘What could be the problem?’
El Palm!
In fact, everyone here had already drawn the picture.
‘There’s no need to fight for long. The moment the boss reveals his power, the monkeys will run away.’
The moment the white-haired monkeys see El Palm’s magic, they will realize that they are no match for it, unless they are foolish.
Once you start running away like that, there is no need to fight again.
That is to say, there was nothing difficult.
“Catch them one by one.”
“Yes, if we deal with these captains one by one, it will be over quickly.”
Things that can be done slowly, one by one.
“No, that’s not it.”
“yes?”
El Palm said to his colleagues who thought so.
“Catch them one by one.”
His colleagues tilted their heads at those words.
“Boss, so you’re saying we catch them one at a time?”
“One each.”
“yes?”
And the moment they heard the words that followed, everyone’s expressions became filled with doubt again, and soon their expressions hardened.
Because I understand.
“A, one each?”
“Five for us, five for them. The numbers are right.”
The meaning of what El Palm said.
“Oh, no, wait a minute, boss!”
Naturally, everyone had questions, and El Palm answered them right away.
“The moment we hunt the white-haired leader monkeys, they will notice and run away.”
“Yes.”
“If they run away into the forest like that, it’ll be even more of a headache.”
“yes?”
“This place, the Forest of the Ascetics, is different from a regular forest. It is a very advantageous stage for monkeys because there are many vines there. There, dealing with not one but five white-haired master monkeys is a whole other level of difficulty. If you are going to catch them, you must catch them at the Golden Temple. And remember. The reason we catch monsters is.”
No one questioned those words any longer.
Because it was exactly as he said.
If El Palm Party chases away the white-haired master monkeys here? El Palm Party won’t be a problem.
But what happens after El Palm Party leaves?
A group of more powerful white-haired monkey leaders will take over the Golden Temple and react more ferociously.
In the process, more people would be killed.
“Okay. Let’s catch them one by one.”
The moment he made that determination, the crane began to descend, and soon dropped the basket he was holding.
The parachute opened directly over the lowered basket and began to fall slowly.
Squeak!
As expected, the monkeys in the Golden Temple reacted violently when they saw it.
Everyone rushed down to where El Palm Party would fall.
It’s like a swarm of ants.
The sight was terrifying to the onlookers.
Because there was nowhere to run.
But the El Palm Party was different.
The moment they saw the monkeys swarming around, everyone, including Dibo, smiled.
“They’re flocking in here so it’s easy to catch them.”
A number like this is just laughable
In other words, everyone pictured it in their head.
Each had their own way of dealing with that pack of vicious monkeys.
That was the moment.
“Chain Lightning.”
The lightning bolt that shot out from El Palm’s hand struck the group of ferocious monkeys that had gathered there.
Phage crackle!
Starting with that one, chain lightning spread in all directions.
A spider web made of lightning began to unfold.
Phagec!
And the spider web grew huge.
In a flash!
Kkiei!
A group of monkeys caught in such a spider web fell to the ground, screaming bizarrely.
Not all of them died.
Because the ferocious monkeys were strong monsters.
But it’s a state that’s as good as dead.
In that chain lightning, only five were in good condition.
Ukkikki!
White-haired master monkeys!
Ukkii!
The white-haired leader monkeys, who had been watching the situation from behind the group of monkeys with only their backs to the ground, rushed toward the El Palm Party.
“Okay, I’ll take that kid!”
“I’ll catch that guy.”
“Okay, then I’ll take that.”
“I’ll take the one next to it.”
El Palm Party, who saw that, also rushed towards the white-haired leader monkey.
At that time, everyone was prepared.
‘It won’t be easy.’
How difficult it is to deal with each one individually.
But no one was dissatisfied with that fact.
‘Well, that’s better.’
Okay, I got it.
Kkiei!
‘Rather than the guy who fights the boss.’
What is the worst situation you’ve ever faced at this very moment?
That’s how the battle began.
5.
White-haired giant monkey.
The adventurers’ assessment of the monster was unanimous.
“They are crazy monkeys. They don’t see anything. They just use violence without mercy.”
A very aggressive monster.
“That’s why you should never deal with him.”
So, for the adventurers adventuring through the Golden Temple, the white-haired monkey leader was not prey.
Especially when meeting one-on-one!
“come!”
But now, the El Palm Party was all about taking on the white-haired leader monkey one-on-one.
Something to be terrified of.
Of course, what was really terrifying was that everyone was no match for the white-haired leader monkey.
No, it wasn’t to that extent.
“come!”
Kkiei!
Everyone, including Devo, gained the upper hand against the white-haired leader monkey.
Squeak!
In the end, the lifeline of the white-haired leader monkey was cut off.
Of course, the fastest one was El Palm.
It didn’t take long for El Palm.
Fire Arrow!
With just that one thing, El Palm could easily cook a white-haired giant monkey.
The second was none other than Miner.
There was nothing strange.
Tututu!
The moment she started unleashing her skills in earnest, bullets literally rained down on the white-furred leader monkey.
It wasn’t just poured out all over the place either.
Golden Eye!
Because her eyes never missed the most critical part of her target.
The third was Divo and Kiri.
Kuung!
They both fell almost simultaneously.
“I’m the third!”
“No, it’s me.”
“What? I was faster?”
It’s hard to say that one person is fast.
It was surprising in many ways.
A single adventurer is supposed to take on the white-haired monkey leader all by himself?
It’s so shocking that you’ll be shocked the moment you see it.
“Hey, okay.”
But the most shocking sight wasn’t El Palm or his colleagues.
“Because Ralph is the best.”
Ralph.
The fact that he, as a bishop, was fighting the white-haired leader monkey all by himself was absurd in itself.
What was surprising was that it wasn’t just about running away or holding on.
“Wait a minute! I’ve already popped all of his eyes out, so we can catch him now!”
Kkiei!
Ralph was overwhelming the white-haired monkey enough to make him scream with all his heart, a scream of terror.
Phew!
Without a weapon, with only his bare hands, he climbed onto the body of the white-haired chief monkey and pounded its body.
Of course, Ralph never caught anything alone.
You could catch it, but it would take forever.
“Fire Arrow.”
Eventually El Palm stepped in and sorted things out, a fact that made Ralph shake his head.
“Boss, I won’t fine you for not catching him. If you had just left him alone, I could have caught him.
‘No one thought that was an exaggeration.
If I had left it alone, I would have really caught it.
So everyone killed the white-haired leader monkey.
The results were amazing.
‘now.’
But no one was happy about that fact.
‘It’s the beginning.’
Because this was just a warm-up.
“The next destination is Indigo Class.”
A warm-up for a fight that is incomparable to this.
In fact, one of the reasons El Palm asked everyone to fight 1-on-1 was to get them in peak condition and feel.
Because it has become so strong that it can no longer be easily warmed up without such a fierce battle.
Everyone knew that, so they gave it their all.
I improved my physical condition.
Of course, everyone was prepared nonetheless.
‘You could die.’
What is the Indigo grade?
A place for 7 circle adventurers!
Because it was a place where it wouldn’t be strange for El Palm’s comrades, who were only in the 6th circle, to die at any time.
However, no one complained that they couldn’t do it or that it was difficult.
If El Palm goes, even if it’s hell, I’ll go because that’s the El Palm party.
El Palm said to his colleagues who had prepared themselves like that.
“The maximum number of people allowed to enter is 8.”
