Chapter 8. Unique Items (5)

“Hunt the boss monster.”
When El Palm said that, Divo was surprised for a moment, but then stopped.
“I see. I will prepare.”
Because I’ve already adapted to El Palm’s style.
But Kiri was different.
“That’s crazy!”
Her common sense was completely incomprehensible to El Palm’s actions.
Above all, she was in a hurry.
“If we die, everything will end! Everything that happened here will be buried!”
She wasn’t afraid of losing her life, because she had already faced death here several times.
“The truth that there are conspirators within the Knights and the Upper House, that there are traitors, is being buried!”
What was more frightening than that was the loss of a very important truth.
“Let me tell you two things.”
El Palm said about that part.
“One, go outside and tell them what happened today. That you were attacked by strangers. That you barely managed to escape.”
Kiri’s eyes narrowed at that fact.
“Hide the truth?”
And the moment the words were spoken, I began to doubt them.
El Palm, I suspect he too may be a traitor.
Of course, El Palm was not a traitor.
“No, I’m telling you to hide it for a while so that the truth can be revealed.”
He knew.
“This incident is not a personal deviation. Can we be sure that there are no more traitors within the Knights of Signus?”
The followers of the Black Mage are now deeply rooted in every corner of the world.
“If you reveal that there is trolling, one of two things will happen. Those involved will either go into hiding more deeply or they will eliminate the possibility of becoming a problem. Either way, it will be difficult for you, the trainee, to fight back.”
Although Kiri didn’t know that fact, she could tell what El Palm was talking about.
The 100-person Mystic Gate, it is highly unlikely that a group of incompetent people would intentionally commit trolling to annihilate adventurers within it.
El Palm also knew.
“And one more thing, there is a green hob here.”
“Hob? That dwarf Hob?”
“It’s a little different. It’s a mutant with a big body, so you can’t call it a dwarf or anything. And it’s very smart.”
The fact that these 15 adventurers who had been trolling so perfectly, followers of the Black Mage, and even one of them possessed a phoenix feather, ultimately did not leave this place.
‘The Phoenix Feather is a powerful item.’
El Palm knew especially well the power of the Phoenix’s feathers.
‘But I couldn’t go out.’
And yet, the 15 adventurers who had it failed to find the exit?
Then the answer was obvious.
“I can guarantee you that. The Green Hob guys are probably laying traps near the exit right now.”
The green hobs are already prepared.
And the green hobs were clever and courageous monsters that could make that possible.
“You probably figured out most of the situation by watching the adventurers fight each other.”
There’s no way those guys wouldn’t know what was happening in this reed field.
“You must have also recovered quite a few of the adventurers’ items.”
Here, the power has been strengthened by taking advantage of the geography.
“So if you want to get out, you have to catch them eventually.”
When he said that, Kiri could no longer question El Palm’s ability to capture boss monsters.
There is now only one question left to ask.
“So, boss, can you catch it?”
El Palm answered that question.
“From now on, Kiri and Divo will be the bait.”

Hob.
The dwarves living in the Minar Forest were surprisingly quite threatening monsters.
One of the reasons why such hobs were scary was that mutants were born among them.
A representative example was the green hob.
It was a large, ferocious, and intelligent creature that could hardly be described as a dwarf.
And the Mystic Gate was full of such variants.
Those green hobs were smart, as I explained earlier, and so they knew.
It is advantageous to travel in groups.
The same was true of the green hooves in the reeds now. The green hooves, twenty-one in number, were in a flock.
There were many different green hobs in that group.
Krr!
The most numerous were warrior green hobs, wearing armor and carrying swords and shields.
Next in number were the Green Hobs, archers carrying bows.
The two had thrown away their weapons and were wearing large shields and thick armor.

A variety of appearances.
But they had one thing in common.
Gulp!
It shows everyone struggling with hunger.
That was amazing.
No matter how smart Green Hob was, he was a monster at heart. He had no choice but to rely on instinct rather than reason.
Krrrr!
Nevertheless, the reason the Green Hobs were holding their breath from hunger was because of the sorcerer Green Hob, who was wearing a robe over his head and holding a staff.
Wow!
The sorcerer Green Hob said:
Wow! Wow!
Let’s bide our time, for the invaders who come here are killing each other.
Let’s hunt down the ones left after they’ve killed each other.
At those words, the other green hobs endured their hunger in silence.
Of course, it wasn’t because the Green Hobs were very rational and reasonable. As I said before, the Green Hobs were monsters. Monsters who couldn’t help but be true to their instincts more than anyone else.
That’s why.
Wow!
It was instinct that led me to follow the words of the sorcerer Green Hob.
Key!
Because the sorcerer Green Hob had a very mysterious and powerful power that was completely different from other green hobs.
Kiiiii!
The fire magic used by the sorcerer Green Hob was on a different level of power than that of other sorcerers.
That’s why I was scared.
When the Green Hobs were waiting for the right time, holding their breath in the face of the terror brought by the sorcerer Grihob.
It was around that time.
“Hey, you hob cubs!”
There was a noise near those green hobs.
“I am the hero of Polarm, Divoda! And this is the great commander of the Knights of Signus, Kiri!”
The green hobs held their breath when they heard that sound.
Is it time to step forward?
Key!
However, the sorcerer Green Hob ordered all the Green Hobs to hold their breath.
I thought it might be a trap set by humans.
That’s why the sorcerer Green Hob was thinking of sending them away like this.
The intention was to show patience.
“What does that mean? The Commander of the Knights is Michael, the great man, so how can I become him?”
However, the two humans who appeared in front of them while they were chewing over such patience did not back down.
“Oh, who is the real hero of Polarm who does this? What are the conditions of the bait? Isn’t it to set up? So follow along. I am Kirida, the commander of the Signus Knights!”
“What, this is so outrageous.”
Rather, it showed a skit that wasn’t even funny.
“Oh, you came here to be bait, right? Then let’s be more bait. At least pay for the meal. Okay?”
“That, that is… … .”
“Is it true that the Knights of Signus can’t even do what the person who saved their lives tells them to do?”
“… … I am Kirida, the commander of the Knights of Signus!”
“Hey! Your voice is small! Can’t you speak louder? Is this all you can hear from a Knights Templar trainee’s voice?”
“I am Kirida, the commander of the Knights of Signus!”
“What did you say? I can’t hear you very well.”
“I am!”
The bodies of the green hobs trembled at the sight.
It wasn’t like they understood what the two humans were saying or anything, because they didn’t know human language.
But I could feel it.
That they are playing a joke right now.
The same was true of the sorcerer Green Hob.
That’s why.
The sorcerer Green Hob gave the order.
Kiiiii!
Attack order!
There was nothing strange.
The fact that those humans are messing around now means they don’t know they’re here.
That means it wasn’t a trap.
It didn’t matter even if it was a trap.
If we were to just tolerate those who are acting so foolishly now, then the discontent of the other Green Hobs who follow the sorcerer Green Hob would explode, and it would lead to a riot.
Now was the time to let it go.
Wow!
The moment the green hobs, who had been holding on with such hunger, were released, they rushed towards the two humans with all their might.
The brutality was beyond words.
Wow!
Everyone rushed forward, determined to fill their bellies by biting those humans alive.
Kii, Kii!
The sorcerer Green Hob was satisfied when he saw it.
Hungry Green Hobs are more ruthless than any monster! In fact, that’s why they were starved on purpose.
That is, at this moment, the sorcerer Green Hob had no doubt about his victory.
Hurrr!
At that moment, a fire arrow caught the eye of the sorcerer Green Hob, and the moment he saw it, the sorcerer Green Hob laughed.
That one fire arrow won’t be enough to stop the green hobs.
Key!
Still, the sorcerer Green Hob announced the existence of the fire arrow, and the warrior Green Hob, who recognized the fire arrow, raised his shield as if it was ridiculous.
That was when.
Easy!
The fire arrow passed over the shield and went straight into Green Hob’s right eye before popping out of his left eye.
Wow!
As the green hob let out a roar, the fire arrow moved quickly towards the next green hob.
Phew!
This time, after digging into Green Hob’s right eye, he came out through his left eye.
It was a moment.
Wow!
In this way, the fire arrows moved in accordance with the sound of the green hobs, instantly turning the green hobs blind.
Kwaaaaak!
In an instant, the ferocious roars of the green hobs turned into screams of pain.
The Green Hob, the sorcerer, was perplexed by the screams of such green hobs.
I have no idea what happened.
That was when.
Kyuing!
There was a sound close to the sorcerer Green Hob, and the moment he heard the sound, the sorcerer Green Hob reflexively turned his head.
Then the sorcerer Green Hob could see.
Kyuing!
A snail.
That was the last thing the sorcerer Green Hob saw.
Phew!
Because the fire arrows that flew in suddenly took away both of the eyes of the sorcerer Green Hob.
Then a voice came to the ears of the blind sorcerer Green Hob.
“You were here.”
12.
The Green Hob hunt is over.
“It ended without any major problems.”
Easier than you think.
“It’s all thanks to the boss.”
Of course, it was possible because it was El Palm.
El Palm knew from the beginning.
What condition are the silent green hobs in, and how should the bait behave to draw them out?
Once I took that bait, there was nothing difficult.
The Phoenix’s feather, El Palm’s Fire Arrow, which held that feather, displayed power beyond common sense.
However, El Palm was not happy or satisfied with the fact that it ended easily.
Actually, there was something else that was really important.
“It’s not too late to celebrate after checking the items.”
Check out what unique grade items the Green Hobs have.
El Palm’s mind was a little complicated before that confirmation.
‘I hope something comes out that I can use.’
The value of a unique grade item is indescribable, but if it can’t be used, its value is still good.
Of course, you could make a lot of money by selling things you couldn’t use, but that was very difficult for El Palm.
‘If you sell it secretly, you’ll get caught.’
Trading such items was a very risky undertaking.
Kyuing!
While El Palm was thinking of various scenarios in his head, Mano began to dig through the corpse of the sorcerer Hob.
Kyuing!
And then he asked for one item.
“uh?”
“That?”
Divo and Kiri looked surprised when they saw that.
The same was true for El Palm.
Even El Palm, who is not usually surprised by anything but the big things, was surprised.
It had to be that way.
“Is it the same thing as before?”
This time, what came out was none other than the feather of the phoenix.
“You’re lucky.”
And that fact made El Palm smile.
Okay, I got it.
‘The more Phoenix feathers you have, the stronger you become.’
That the effects of this item stack.
Of course, the fighting power of El Palm, which had two phoenix feathers, was bound to be out of standard.
Even an orange-level Mystic Gate wouldn’t pose a threat to him unless it was somewhere remotely remote.
The specs have been improved beyond expectations.
‘It was worth it.’
El Palm was a force to be reckoned with and it was worth it to participate in the 100-man Mystic Gate.
Of course El Palm knew.
‘If only I could have it.’
Now, there is something really important left to do.
“From now on, we will look for the exit.”
That’s why.
“And once you find the exit, Kiri, there’s something I can do for you.”
El Palm, he said to Kiri.
“What is it?”
“I need your sword.”
“A sword? Is there anything to cut?”
El Palm nodded in response to the question and pointed to my stomach with his finger.
“Cut me.”
