Chapter 11. Hell of the Eyes (1)
One.
There are three main positions in a party: dealer, tank, supporter, and adventurer.
Here, the supporter could be anyone, whether a warrior, magician, archer, thief, or pirate, as long as the role was to provide support.
But usually, the Bishop, that is, the Healer and Buffer, took on the support role.
Naturally, everyone thought.
“Supporters are the ones you must protect until the end. More precious than anyone else. More precious than your own life.”
A supporter must protect his team with his whole body.
In other words, supporters were treated as weak beings who could never protect themselves on their own.
That was actually the case.
“Because heal and buff skills consume more magic power and have longer cooldowns than other skills.”
First of all, the skills used by bishops required a considerable amount of time to be used once.
For example, in the case of Heal, which is the most basic 1st circle skill, the casting time was set to around 10 seconds.
It was by no means a short time. In the midst of a fierce battle, 10 seconds could determine whether an adventurer would die or not.
And casting required a lot of concentration.
So it wasn’t easy to do other things while casting.
Moving wasn’t easy either.
Moving while casting was like moving with a full glass of water on your head.
The more intense the movement, the more likely it is that the water in the cup will spill.
Also, if a Bishop uses a skill like Heal, it means that his party members are bleeding or injured anyway.
While other magic or skills could wait for the next time even if they failed, there was no next time for healing a wounded comrade.
This means that you cannot help but fear failure even more.
Even if that wasn’t the case, there was something like that.
“Bishops don’t sweat. And they don’t try to.”
Bishops, who were always treated with distinction and nobility within the party, did not try to force themselves.
There was no choice.
Because I treasured my life the most, it was no different for an adventurer.
But there are exceptions to everything.
Some people were so talented that they could dance with a cup of water on their head without spilling it.
On that subject, there were some who had the talent to fight more fiercely than the average warrior.
There were also those who gladly enjoyed fighting.
And there were those who had all three.
Ralph, he did.
First of all, he fought better than most warriors.
Phew!
His fighting skills were good, but not to that extent.
Kieeeee!
Evil Eye in his fist, teeth falling out like corn from the mouth of that ferocious monster with a scream.
It was a stronger force than hitting with a hammer.
Evil Eye, who was dazed by Ralph’s attack, naturally did not see Devo’s huge polearm slamming down on his head.
Kwajik!
Devo split Evil Eye’s head in half in one breath.
“heel.”
Even with such fierce attacks, Ralph never failed to cast his skills.
“Go right in!”
Meanwhile, Ralph enjoyed the situation.
It wasn’t just about enjoying words.
There was a real smile on Ralph’s face, despite his fierce expression.
“It’s all money, money!”
At that smile, Divo and Kiri felt more creepy than smiling.
‘Are you crazy about fighting?’
‘It’s not normal. Absolutely not.’
A person with common sense in many ways.
But Devo and Kiri agreed on one thing.
‘He’s crazy, he’s no joke.’
‘I’ve never seen a supporter like this even in the Knights Templar.’
Ralph is a very good supporter.
Of course, El Palm knew of Ralph’s abilities.
‘Just fighting well doesn’t mean it ends there. The real value lies in moving on the front lines.’
What’s more, Ralph’s great ability was that he could change the adventurers’ existing strategies.
Most adventurers adopted a strategy where the dealers and tanks fought at the front while the supporters were placed in a safe place in the rear.
Then, when you take damage, you bring the dealer and tank to the rear.
The lives and time wasted in the process were more fatal than anyone thought.
‘It’s an adventure now, but in three years there will be nothing but war.’
Especially after the monsters burst out of the Mystic Gate, the world became more brutal than anyone could have imagined.
And in such a cruel world, the presence of supporters like Ralph who can fight on the front lines shines even brighter.
‘Only three years.’

That’s why El Palm didn’t stop.
‘There is not much time left.’
With all that had to be done, there wasn’t any time to relax here and now.
That’s why El Palm said.
“Now we start hunting in earnest.”
At those words, Devo, Kiri, and Ralph looked around at the same time.
Then, countless corpses of Evil Eyes appeared.
Kyuing!
There is also the sight of Mano moving between the corpses of the Evil Eyes and breaking the magic stone.
The three who saw it looked at El Palm with expressions full of doubt.
“No, boss, what have we done so far?”
The two remaining people nodded at Devo’s words that came out soon.
We’ve hunted more seriously than any other party, but now we’re going to hunt in earnest?
To that question El Palm said:
“All we’ve done so far is get our breathing together.”
The real hunt has begun.
2.
There were some differences in the strategies for Red and Orange grade Mystic Gates.
One of them was the attack speed.
“The first adventure as soon as possible.”
Starting from the Orange Grade Mystic Gate, adventurers have limited time.
“Before we run out of food.”
That was because I didn’t know how long the adventure would last.
So when conquering an Orange-grade Mystic Gate, most people focus on finding the first exit.
And as soon as I found it, I started on the next adventure as quickly as possible.
“It’s the 6th day.”
Nevertheless, El Palm Party continued its first adventure for a full six days.
It wasn’t just an adventure either.
It was an adventure to hunt countless Evil Eyes, a hunt to wipe out all of them.
Actually, that was crazy.
No matter how powerful a party is, there is a limit to its stamina.
And there is nothing more dangerous for an adventurer than when he is pushed to his limit.
Yet the reason it was possible was simple.
“Then, now get some rest.”
As soon as El Palm finished speaking, the remaining three fell asleep like puppets with their strings cut.
This is why it was possible.
El Palm’s words say that everyone can fall into a deep sleep.
That was originally impossible.
Beyond the Mystic Gate, on that stage where you don’t know what will happen, you fall asleep without letting go of the tension?
It’s like begging for death.
But El Palm made it possible.
He showed that it’s okay to trust yourself and sleep deeply.
It wasn’t simply because El Palm had shown fighting prowess that defied common sense.
Just because there’s a lion by your side doesn’t mean you can’t sleep deeply, but what El Palm showed was the ability to secure safety.
The ability to understand the monster’s habits and terrain to find a safe place, and to identify and respond to any problems that may arise.
Furthermore, the ability to detect monsters before they do.
In fact, from El Palm’s perspective, it wasn’t some great ability. In the world three years later, all the survivors had it.
To be exact, those without such abilities could not survive.
Those who failed to rest well and secure their skills eventually died because they could not hold out.
So, among the adventurers who survived, there were some who were able to sleep soundly even when monsters were rampaging right up close.
Of course, among them, El Palm’s abilities were unrivaled.
The last adventurer, that was the proof.
Cool… … .
The three fell into a deep sleep under El Palm’s protection.
But it was only a deep sleep, not a long sleep.
Soon after, one by one, they opened their eyes.
“boss.”
The first one that came up was Devo.
“No matter how I look at it, he seems like a crazy person.”
As soon as he opened his eyes, Debo looked at Ralph and stuck out his tongue.
“Every time I see a monster, my eyes roll back. How much is that, how much is that. Oh, of course I like money too, but this guy is really crazy about money.”
To that El Palm replied:
“Because money is clear.”
“yes?”
“Because money can clearly calculate how difficult an adventure is and how many adventures you have taken.”
“Well… … .”
“And it’s better to be crazy about money.”
El Palm, who had spoken, recalled.
What has become of the world because of the black magician and the madmen who follow that distant thing.
“Well, that’s true.”
Debo nodded as if he understood El Palm’s words.
“So boss, when are we going on our second adventure?”
Naturally, Debo asked the following question:
“Could you tell me roughly when it’ll be over? I’m just trying to catch Evil Eye, so I’m starting to lose my mind.”
El Palm answered that question.
“You can go now.”
“yes?”
Devo was surprised by the sudden answer, and El Palm looked at Devo’s left wrist and said.
“Because it became Circle 2.”
“Circle 2? Who? Huh? Huh? Huh!”
Only then did Divo’s expression turn into one of shock as he discovered the second black ring on his wrist.
“I became a 2nd circle? When did that happen? Wow! Boss! I became a 2nd circle! I made it to the circle in one breath!”
Ralph and Kiri, who had been sleeping, opened their eyes at the same time due to the commotion.
“Everyone is up.”
The break ended there. Everyone had already rested deeply enough.
“Now it’s time for the next adventure.”
Ralph and Kiri looked delighted at those words.
Those two were equally tired of endless Evil Eye hunting.
Of course my favorite was Divo.
“Let’s hurry up, boss! Let’s just sweep them all away!”
He looked as if he was desperate to immediately explode with the intense power that filled his body.
Actually, that looked dangerous.
Being intoxicated with power that you cannot properly handle is like putting a sharp knife in the hand of a child.
“From now on, we will look for the exit.”
But El Palm didn’t really try to make that kind of Divo cold.
“Boss, there’s an exit over there.”
“Huh? Boss?”
There was no need for that.
“Why are there so many scars on this?”
The exit gate leading to the second adventure stage, the moment they saw the wounds filling that gate, everyone, including Divo, could not help but feel their blood run cold.
“One, two… … Even at a glance, there are more than fifty?”
“Are you kidding me?”
Divo was surprised by that fact, and Kiri was suspicious.
That much of this wound was incomprehensible. Unless someone was playing a prank.
“Why are you playing such pranks?”
But no adventurer in this world would do such a thing for fun.
There was no reason to do it.
This means that there is nothing to be gained by playing such pranks on adventurers who have already entered the Mystic Gate.
That is, this wound was real.
Beyond this Mystic Gate, there are those who have set out on a second adventure, as many as this number of wounds.
The bigger problem was that none of these many adventurers ever made it to the next stage, back into the world.
“Didn’t you say that there are only three failures?”
The moment when the Mystic Gate, which was just a test of your skills, suddenly becomes a hell of unprecedented difficulty.
At that moment, Devo, Kiri, and Ralph all froze in front of him.
My head is getting complicated.
El Palm, on the other hand, was different.
He said calmly.
“Going in.”
At those words, all three spoke with stern expressions.
“Boss, it’s dangerous.”
“There are quite a few wounds. It would be suicidal to continue like this.”
“I don’t think it’s something that needs to be decided so hastily.”
All three stopped El Palm, and El Palm saw the three and said:
“Will the answer come if I wait?”
An iron rule that every adventurer should have.
El Palm, who spat it out, took the first step beyond the Mystic Gate without hesitation.
Then the remaining three followed suit. Without hesitation.
El Palm Party arrived at the second land of adventure.
“… … What the hell, boss, what should I do?”
Whew!
“It’s a blizzard.”
What greeted them was a forest covered in snow.
