Chapter 74. Urs (8)
19.
In Maple World, the stronger the monster, the larger it is.
It was because the gigantic size itself could be a reason for strength.
Because of this, in Maple World, as the circles increased and the adventures became more difficult, there were professions that were ostracized.
“Solo magic becomes of little use later on.”
The sorcerer of the poisonous nature did so.
Of course, there were many reasons why solo magicians were ostracized.
The fact that the poison makes it difficult for fellow comrades to move, and that there are several conditions that must be met for the poison to be useful.
“Poison exists in lethal doses.”
One of the decisive reasons was that it was useless when dealing with boss monsters.
“The lethal dose is proportional to body weight.”
No matter how strong the poison is, it is meaningless in small quantities.
In that sense, it was too difficult to affect giant monsters with poison magic.
That wasn’t all.
“It’s a bit much to use poison magic against boss monsters. It’s fatal to your allies who have to fight while sticking close to you.”
Adventurers who are already overwhelmed by dealing with boss monsters are also concerned about their companions’ poison magic?
In that case, it would have been wiser in many ways to just take another wizard with you.
El Palm’s thoughts were the same.
He didn’t have poison magic in mind when he wanted to hunt Ursus.
‘It takes forever for poison to work against Ursus.’
No matter how strong El Palm’s poison magic was, it wouldn’t take a day or two to poison an Ursus the size of a small mountain.
That wasn’t all.
‘Its vitality and resistance to poison are as monstrous as its size.’
Regardless of its size, the Ursus itself is so tenacious that it is virtually invulnerable to poison.
Of course El Palm could have done it.
I could use the poison magic for a day or two, or even for a month if necessary.
The problem was Debo and his colleagues.
Because there was no chance they would last that long.
Above all, there was no reason for El Palm to use poison magic.
Fire attribute magic!
With something so powerful, why would you take a different, ambiguous path when there is a clear path?
But the moment he used Meteor, El Palm realized.
‘Fire attribute magic is not allowed.’
The limit has been reached.
It wasn’t simply a matter of strength.
El Palm used Meteor to absorb the power that threatened to explode his body, but even so, Hyperion’s power filled El Palm’s entire body.
That’s when I realized.
‘If I use Hyperion’s Helmet any longer, I will change.’
El Palm’s body has already been invaded.
The god of another world, another dimension, began to take control of his body.
That your existence is changing.
Of course, I had no intention of rejecting it itself.
This kind of strength was exactly what El Palm had been hoping for.
But El Palm also felt another force.
‘The moment things change, the Overseer intervenes in my fate.’
The being that protects the balance of this Maple World, the transcendent being, is watching over him.
I didn’t know exactly what it was, I had never heard of it, but one thing was clear.
‘The being that even entangles the black wizard.’
The existence of this Overseer is something that even the transcendent Black Wizard cannot do anything about.
And at that point, El Palm realized.
Why didn’t the black wizard come out of the world on his own all this time?
Whether these tricks were carried out only through the legion commander and his followers.
The Black Mage and his followers created the Mystic Gate, filling it with items for adventurers beyond.
‘The moment that being intervenes, the black magician can move.’
That is, the moment El Palm fully accepts Hyperion’s power, that was the moment the Black Wizard appeared.
Of course, it was good that El Palm took off Hyperion’s helmet and used fire magic.
But using ordinary fire-attribute magic was completely meaningless against Ursus.
So I ended up taking it out.
“boss!”
The heart of the hydra.
“everyone.”
El Palm told his colleagues who were surprised by the fact.
“Survive.”
With those words, El Palm threw himself into the huge wound his meteor had created.

Krrrr!

Ursus, the wrathful one, could not find the being who had caused his wounds and the first thing he did was to start a rage.
Kwakwakwakwa!
The bastard was running around the island like crazy, destroying everything.
Expressed anger.
At the same time, it was a very wise move.
The guy who bothered you and hurt you will probably be on this island, no matter where he ran off to.
If that’s the case, then if you destroy everything on this island, then naturally the guy who tormented you will also collapse.
It was a method that Ursus could come up with, and at the same time, it was a method that Ursus could do.
Wow!
Ursus really trampled the island and the forest.
Every time he swung his arms, the ground would turn upside down and the beautiful trees would split like reeds.
To Ursus, even huge rocks and cliffs looked like nothing more than a sand castle made by a child on the beach.
Kwakwakwakwa!
It was crushed with one step.
It was a moment.
Ursus, how long did it take for that bastard to turn a huge island into a land where nothing could exist.
Wow! Wow!
Even after that, the bastard still seemed to be angry, and only after he had crushed the already crushed island a few more times did he finally become calm.
thud!
The bastard lay down on the scorched island.
And then he fell asleep.
He looked very relaxed.
That was the monster called Ursus.
He didn’t really need to care about anything or anything, because nothing could pose an absolute threat to him.
So there was no need to be nervous.
Of course they were different.
“Hoo, hoo, hoo.”
For El Palm’s comrades, those who rode on Urs’ body, this entire process was pure hell.
A hell where one second feels like one year!
‘I almost died.’
That’s understandable, because the shock felt by El Palm Party on top of Ursus when he went wild was enormous.
It’s like a huge earthquake is happening!
Even the moment he fell from Ursus’ body there, that moment was the moment that led to his death.
It wouldn’t be strange if I went crazy.
‘If I hadn’t followed the boss, I would have really died.’
If I hadn’t been following El Palm around and experiencing some truly absurd situations, even the El Palm party would have been crazy.
‘If it weren’t for the experience of flying around on the Junior Balrog and crashing down together on the Leviathan.’
The experience of attending El Palm Party was not ordinary either.
Of course everyone knew.
‘Now is the worst.’
Even if that experience helps, it doesn’t change the fact that the situation you’re facing now is the worst.
‘What should I do from now on?’
Especially now, there was nothing El Palm Party could do.
Now Ursus has barely calmed down.
But I couldn’t just calm him down like this.
Because El Palmar Party was never here to just tour Ursus.
‘There is no portal.’
Moreover, there was nothing that looked like a portal anywhere on the island that Ursus had scorched.
That means you have to kill Ursus to get out.
So that was the problem.
How on earth do I kill this guy?
The moment I make a fatal attack, will he start causing this nonsense again?
Will we be able to survive the next chaos?
‘The boss’s poison to him.’
Of course everyone knew.
El Palm is now preparing a new attack called Poison.
But his colleagues’ expectations of him were not that high.
Everyone knew very well that El Palm’s poison magic was incredibly powerful.
Especially when using Hydra’s Heart, its power was so strong that even average 6th circle adventurers would not be able to withstand it.
‘It’ll barely work on him.’
But Ursus was on a different track.
The size was on a whole other level.
Just by its size, it would take tens of thousands of poisons to kill one adventurer against an Ursus.
Furthermore, El Palm’s colleagues could feel it while clinging to the body of this Ursus.
‘This guy has extraordinary vitality.’
The life force that Ursus possesses is incomparable to that of any monster he has ever encountered.
Although it’s a vague feeling, El Palm Party wasn’t just any adventurer.
Their intuition, having hunted countless monsters so far, was certain in this regard.
Krrrr… … .
That was why Ursus lay down on the floor and tried to sleep without hesitation.
That nothing can threaten you.
That meteor magic had threatened him, but now that the threat was gone, he had nothing to worry about.
Krrrr… … .
It certainly was.
Phew!
That is, until a day later, when blood started flowing from Ursus’ nose.
21.
Commanders of the Black Mage Legion.
They had a very unique relationship, leading their followers on behalf of the Black Mage.
There was no significant exchange between the legion commanders.
There were many cases where the relationship was hostile rather than interactive.
The reason such a relationship came about was simple.
The legion commanders each decided to follow the black wizard for different reasons.
There was another reason too.
The commanders of the Black Magic Legion are each and every one of them incredibly powerful!
That is, all the legion commanders thought.
Whether the other legion commanders die or disappear, as long as I have him, I can solve everything.
It was the same with Akairum.
He was originally a high priest serving Rune, one of the transcendent beings and the goddess of time in his youth.
Although it was a position that only those who were close to transcendence could attain, Akairum ascended to it at a very young age.
That is, Akairum had already reached an unspeakable level at a young age.
That was hundreds of years ago.
During those hundreds of years, Akairum was able to gain more power under the Black Mage.
That’s what Mystic Gate was like right now.
Akairum created the Mystic Gate and created countless monsters within it.
Just that alone is an incredible level of ability that Akairum possesses!
That’s why he looked down on other legion commanders.
I didn’t even see him as a conversation partner.
“The candidate has finally emerged.”
But this moment was different.
He spoke to Will, another legion commander, in front of him.
With a smile full of joy.
“There are two of them.”
What happened to them now was that great.
“I thought it would be a success if just one came out, but I never thought I would hear two voices.”
After the six heroes fought the Black Mage, the fruits of hundreds of years of preparation were now upon us.
It was a huge undertaking.
There were countless methods used by the followers of the Black Mage to bring the gods from other worlds to Maple World.
This Mystic Gate was just one of countless ways.
Honestly, I didn’t think the possibility was that high.
They never thought that a mere adventurer would bring the gods of another world that they themselves could not bring.
I did it only because it was the Black Wizard’s will.
But did it bear fruit?
Of course, Will and Akairum both knew.
“I just heard the voice.”
“yes.”
Literally, he is just a candidate.
Just hearing the voice doesn’t mean you can do anything.
Still, it was meaningful enough.
As mentioned earlier, there had been no candidate until now.
But two of them were born.
That’s why the two were confident.
“No one will hear your voice anymore.”
This is going to be the end.
There will never be another new voice that will reach Maple World.
It certainly was.
Peeing!
“This?”
Until the clock that Akairum had prepared suddenly started making a loud noise.
“A third voice is coming!”
Because, as I said before, it was something that couldn’t happen.
Will, who was also surprised by the fact, said to Akairum.
“What kind of voice is that?”
At that question, Akairum looked at his watch and said.
“It’s Hydra.”
