Chapter 74. Urs (7)
16.
There are two most important things when hunting giant monsters.
“For a giant monster, its size itself is a weapon. Leaving aside other things, just getting stepped on by it is instant death. It’s like the relationship between an elephant and a mouse. From the mouse’s perspective, the most important thing is to run away without getting stepped on.”
A way to escape.
“And the defense of a giant monster is not just solid. No matter how much flesh it is like water, if it is 10 meters deep, no gun, spear, or sword can reach it. In the case of a giant monster, the thickness of its skin is only meters, and the depth of its muscles and flesh under that skin is tens of meters. No matter how many mosquitoes there are, they cannot harm an elephant. Something more lethal is needed.”
Another way to deal damage.
Without these two, even if tens, hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of adventurers rushed in, they would not be able to catch the giant monster.
Ursus did.
It was impossible to escape from it, and no amount of powerful attacks could have any real effect on its small, mountain-sized body.
Even Ursus boasted incredible movement speed.
The radius of his activities was so crazy that he could make the entire continent of Osiris his stage.
El Palm knew that fact better than anyone else.
Nevertheless, the reason he entered Mystic Gate was simple.
“You can catch Ursus.”
Ursus, I have the confidence to pierce that ridiculous bastard’s body.
And behind that confidence was Hyperion’s helmet.
Blue flame!
I thought that with that ability that doubled the power of my fire attribute magic, I could perform surgery on Ursus.
Of course I thought it wouldn’t be easy.
No matter how much Divo lured Ursus, and even though it was a limited space like an island, it was extremely difficult to use magic on Ursus.
Moreover, it’s not just a simple fit, but a surgery that goes right through Ursus’ body?
It’s a long way off, even for El Palm.
In fact, to be exact, it was impossible to perform surgery by breaking through a single point like other monsters.
From El Palm’s perspective, the best they could do was to target one area, not break through one point, but focus their attacks.
And El Palm’s colleagues knew that too.
So I was surprised.
‘To hit a monster like that with all your magic on a small area of about 10 pyeong.’
10 pyeong.
It’s a fairly wide area for a person to feel, but it’s like the little fingernail based on Ursus.
Because El Palm’s attacks did not stray far from that area.
Because it showed an absurd accuracy rate.
Because it was a wonderful thing.
Of course everyone knew.
‘It’ll take a few days.’
It’s going to take a long time for this surgery to be completed.
‘It’s a long-term war.’
That is, everyone has entered into a long-term war mode for a long battle, not an explosive battle of the moment.
Not only the fleeing Divo, but also Kiri, Miner, and Ralph began to adjust their pace.
Of course, I thought El Palm would adjust its pace too.
That’s actually the case.
“Fire Arrow.”
Instead of using powerful magic, El Palm mainly used magic of 3 circles or lower, such as Fire Arrow.
Rather than going fast, I chose to go slow and steady, and my colleagues also adjusted their pace based on that fact.
“Meteor!”
That’s why.
“uh?”
“what?”
El Palm, the moment he used Meteor, everyone freaked out.
No, I wasn’t scared at first.
“Did I mishear that?”
Because they misheard or thought El Palm was wrong.
Because it was that absurd.
But after a while everyone could see.
Kukuku!
A falling meteorite.
17.
Kukuku!
El Palm, his meteor was falling.
Kukuku!
With blue in its embrace.
The enormous thing was falling towards Ursus.
In fact, it was something unexpected and unplanned for El Palm.
El Palm had no intention of using Meteor against Ursus.
The reason I still write is because of change.
‘I can feel the power of Hyperion.’
Beyond the voice, he felt the power of a divine being entering his heart and body.

Of course, I didn’t use Meteor simply because I was so powerful, because I wanted to show off that power, or because I wanted to see it.
El Palm was not that kind of adventurer.
Even when he was overflowing with energy, he always pursued the best efficiency. He prepared for any unforeseen situation.
Nevertheless, the reason why I wrote Meteor.
‘I can’t handle it.’
If he didn’t release that overflowing power, it felt like El Palm’s body would explode right away.
So I used Meteor, which consumes the most magic power.
“Phew.”
But even with the use of Meteor, El Palm felt his power overflowing.
This wasn’t just some magical thing.
It was like Divo.
It felt like something fundamental had been strengthened, like the very existence of the adventurer El Palm had changed.
Kukuku!
El Palm, he’s so huge he can move a meteor!
Soon a collision occurred.
Kwakwakwakwa!
The Ursus, the size of a small mountain, caused a tremendous noise and a storm as meteors crashed into its body.
Kwakwakwakwa!
The shockwave shook the ground on the island and blew away trees.
The El Palm party was no different.
Everyone was doing everything they could to avoid getting caught in the storm.
“crazy!”
With a look of astonishment on his face.
‘You’re stronger than before!’
That would be the case, because the power of the meteor El Palm was using just now was several times stronger than the meteor he used when he captured the Demon King Balrog.
It wasn’t a mistake.
Because I’ve experienced both.
‘Does this make sense?’
A shocking thing in many ways.
And it was the same with El Palm.
‘This power.’
El Palm could feel it the moment he saw the results.
‘It’s a power that shouldn’t exist.’
At the same time, El Palm felt.
‘Unacceptable to the administrators of this world.’
Something begins to interfere with one’s existence.
Starting to restrain yourself.
At that point, El Palm was able to recall a story, a being, that he had heard a long time ago.
‘Overseer.’
A transcendent being who maintains the balance of this world.
The being that prevented the black wizard from destroying the world.
The moment he got there, El Palm was able to realize everything.
I wasn’t surprised by that fact.
‘As expected.’
It was just something he had expected to happen, so he had already made plans and made up his mind about it.
There was no reason to be surprised.
And there was no time for that.
Wow!
Because I was alive.
Wow! Wow!
Ursus, a small, distracting monster that was like a disaster, was hit by a meteor created by El Palm and survived.
It wasn’t all right.
The area where the meteor struck had a sunken wound, as if pudding had been scooped out with a spoon.
It was a deep wound. In human terms, it was like being bitten by a beast of prey.
In other words, the fatal wound was not a wound likely to lead to death.
This was also a terrifying thing.
‘Can you take that and hold out?’
Even if you endure the attack from a boss monster, you should at least suffer a fatal wound, but you just endure it.
‘How on earth am I supposed to catch it?’
A sight that would make one lose the will to fight rather than cheer despite the use of great magic.
But there was no room for the El Palm party to become indifferent to that fact.
Krrrr!
“ah.”
In this outrageous attack, Urs broke the rules, the ironclad principles, his instincts for the first time.
Wow!
“boss!”
It never looks at anything else until it has killed the prey chasing it in front of its eyes, that instinct.
“He’s going to the boss!”
Ursus, the bastard moved in pursuit of El Palm.
18.
Most monsters acted instinctively.
Of course, that instinct didn’t change or anything just because the situation was a little unfavorable.
It was the same with chasing prey, chasing a target.
There were many monsters that would unconditionally chase after something once they saw it.
And that instinct never changed unless the situation was dire.
Even if his whole body was covered in wounds and blood, he would chase after only one man until the very end.
Even if one did act outside of one’s instincts, it was usually at a time when one was facing death.
At that moment, more than anything else, my survival instinct made me turn my back on the monster and run away.
Otherwise, there was no case of changing one’s instincts in a situation where one was at risk of death or in a situation where one was angry.
Ursus was like that too.
Wow!
He was a monster who never changed his mind until he hunted his prey.
If its prey happens to escape to the ends of the earth, it must chase it all the way there and eat it, only then will it begin to notice other things!
So, even in the midst of repeated attacks, the bastard only pursued Devo, who had first provoked him.
Wow!
But now, Ursus left Divo behind and chased El Palm.
He changed his instincts and the iron rule he had followed throughout his life.
“f*ck!”
El Palm’s colleagues were horrified by this fact.
But there was no surprise. On the contrary, everyone understood.
‘The boss attack was too strong!’
If he had been hit by that ridiculous attack and had been chasing something else, that would have been even stranger.
Of course, there was no complaint, grumbling, or irritation about that fact.
I couldn’t afford that.
“f*ck! Kiri!”
When we need to somehow divert Ursus’ attention from chasing El Palm.
“I know. Get on.”
“Help me too!”
In light of that fact, the choice that Divo, Kiri, and Miner made was to ride on Urs’ body.
It was a very dangerous thing.
It was not easy to even maintain balance on that running mountain. If I made a mistake, I could fall off Ursus’ body and be trampled by Ursus afterwards.
But there was no hesitation.
“Me too, please!”
Everyone, including Ralph, climbed onto Ursus’ body as he chased El Palm.
And then the moment they got on board, they unleashed all the skills they had.
“Smash Swing!”
“Shining Cross!”
At the wound site made by El Palm.
“Quick draw!”
Among them, the one that poured out the most powerfully was Miner.
“Rapid Fire!”
Her gun began spewing out bullets at a tremendous rate, a torrential downpour no less.
“Passilade!”
With the intention of using up all the bullets!
Phew phew phew!
The wound caused by Miner’s bullet began to deepen, and Ursus’ blood began to spurt out ceaselessly as if it had found its source.
Everyone was covered in that blood.
Wow!
But even in the face of that massive offensive, Ursus was still moving in pursuit of El Palman.
“f*ck!”
By that point everyone had seen it.
“It’s the sea!”
Ursus chasing El Palm, his gaze turned towards the sea.
At that fact, everyone’s expressions became even more crumpled.
“Boss! You’re in danger!”
The sea is practically a dead end!
Because there was no place to run anymore.
Of course, the warning was meaningless.
Kukuku!
There is no way that Devo’s voice shouting from above Ursus could be properly conveyed to El Palm.
Above all, the sea was already right in front of us.
Everyone clenched their teeth at that fact.
‘What should I do?’
El Palm Party had experienced all sorts of hardships and adversities, and they always came up with the best solution in the worst moments. But at this moment, no way to save El Palm or help them came to mind.
And the moment I saw the sea, that was the moment.
“Teleport.”
Urs, the El Palm that he was chasing disappeared from the world the moment it entered the beach.
Wow!
Surprised by that fact, Ursus stopped in its tracks, and Ursus’ body, unable to overcome inertia, rolled on the sea.
Kwakwakwakwa!
The sea was roaring, and huge waves, like a tsunami, crashed down on the beach and even the island.
Another natural disaster struck, leaving the island in a state of temporary calm.
Krrrr!
Ursus, who had missed his prey, immediately came to his senses and straightened up, his eyes flashing and his nose twitching.
However, the nose that had gotten into the seawater was not functioning properly.
The same was true for the eyes.
El Palm’s presence was nowhere to be seen.
Wow!
At that fact, Ursus finally let out a roar of rage, and El Palm’s comrades who were on top of Ursus’ body held their breath.
‘Uh, how?’
They couldn’t understand why El Palm suddenly disappeared.
At the same time, I couldn’t understand where it disappeared to.
But that doubt didn’t last long.
‘uh?’
They could see.
‘boss?’
The presence of El Palm, who had suddenly climbed onto Ursus’ body.
‘That’s?’
And that’s what El Palm took out.
‘Heart of Hydra?’
