Chapter 20. Cheryl’s Request (2)
4.
“Apollo’s fiery arrows.”
The moment El Palm pulled out his magic, all of El Palm’s colleagues looked at El Palm.
‘What kind of magic is that?’
With a questioning look.
That would be the case, because the magic El Palm used was one that none of them had ever heard of.
Of course, that’s what I expected.
If El Palm has unleashed a new magic like this, it must be something great.
‘Is that an arrow? It’s so small.’
But in reality, the fire arrow they saw amidst their anticipation was so small.
Half the size of the Fire Arrow summoned by El Palm!
To be honest, it was so small and insignificant that it would be more accurate to say it was an arrowhead rather than an arrow. In some ways, it was so pitiful to even call it an arrow.
‘What are you going to do with that?’
I can’t even imagine what that worthless thing can do.
But El Palm was different.
El Palm’s eyes, looking at Apollo’s fire arrows, were filled with more anticipation than ever.
It had to be that way.
‘It’s been a while.’
This wasn’t the first time El Palm had used Apollo’s fire arrows.
It wasn’t the first time.
‘Thanks to you, my life has been saved hundreds of times.’
El Palm, one of the magics that played a key role in his becoming the ultimate adventurer was Apollo’s fire arrow.
Naturally, El Palm was confident that he could use Apollo’s fire arrows perfectly.
That’s why I came here with confidence.
And El Palm showed us why.
‘Move.’
The moment El Pam fired Apollo’s fire arrow with his telekinesis, Apollo’s fire arrow moved.
Fit!
Making a very shallow sound.
Pick, pick, pick!
Then, he started to lightly pierce the Skeleton Warrior’s skull as if he was piercing a sheet of paper.
It was an amazing destructive force.
But what was more surprising was the speed.
Fit!
So much so that it was impossible to follow the movement with one’s eyes.
‘oh my god.’
Among the El Palm party members, only Golden Eye Miner, with her golden eyes, could barely keep up.
That was nonsense.
Golden Eye, because of all the talents she had, her eyes were the most outstanding.
Because her eyes didn’t miss anything.
Even Captain Kairin recognized her talent and accepted her as his disciple.
‘You can’t even see it with your own eyes?’
The fact that even she couldn’t chase after him properly meant that most adventurers in the world couldn’t chase after him.
Pick, pick, pick!
Of course, the speed at which the skeleton soldiers were destroyed was incomparable to that of any other adventurers.
That’s why it was even more surprising.
‘No, what the heck is that?’
Miner also knew well that El Palm used telekinesis to manipulate magic.
I’ve been surprised by him several times.
But now it was on a different level.
‘How do you deal with that?’
The speed of Apollo’s fire arrows was not something that could be handled with confidence.
If El Palm’s previous handling of the Fire Arrow was like handling a puppy, Apollo’s Fire Arrow was like a tiger.
And not just any tiger, but a giant tiger that rules over a couple of mountains!
Yet El Palm handled it perfectly.
It was thanks to experience.
Thanks to the countless experiences I have gained while going back and forth between life and death.
Pick, pick, pick!
In this way, the skeleton soldiers that had numbered over a thousand began to be quickly eliminated in front of El Palm’s magic.
Of course, not all of them could be removed quickly.
It took time.
“come!”
However, for El Palm Party, who had already trained countless times, including Divo, it was not an easy task to buy that much time.
Break!
So El Palm’s words became reality.
“This is the last one!”

Hunted down all the skeleton soldiers.
At that sight, the El Palm party members once again looked at El Palm with expressions of bewilderment.
“Boss, every time I see you, I am amazed. How on earth do you do that?”
That was when.
Brrrrrr!
Once again, a familiar sound, an eerie sound, began to approach El Palm Party.
When everyone turned their heads at that sound, they saw more than a thousand skeleton soldiers again.
It was a huge number.
“They’re coming like a pack of dogs.”
But El Palm Party’s reaction was different from before.
“I don’t even know if this is hell.”
I was brimming with confidence.
“Divo.”
“Yes, boss! You want to sweep it away again? Just leave it to me! I’ll show you how.”
El Palm said to such a debacle:
“Step back.”
“Yes? Here? No, boss? Isn’t that easy?”
El Palm answered that question.
“Apollo’s fire arrows cannot be used for 30 minutes once used.”
The drawbacks of Apollo’s fire arrows.
It was a pretty fatal flaw.
So the question was.
“No, then shouldn’t you be saving it? Why don’t you just use it here?”
Why did you use such powerful magic in the first place?
Of course there was a reason.
“I was trying to show you.”
“yes?”
Because from this moment on, there is hope for El Palm Party.
“If you can just hold out for 30 minutes, you can do anything.”
Even in the worst of circumstances, there is hope that things can change if you just hold on.
“Let’s retreat for now. And then we’ll look for survivors. Our goal is not to hunt skeletons, but to rescue survivors.”
In that hope, El Palm Party began its rescue operations.
And the 6th day.
“My name is Pir.”
They encountered survivors.
“I am the only one who survived.”
With only one survivor.
5.
“My name is Pir.”
The survivors found six days after their arrival were in a miserable state.
It couldn’t have been better.
It was six days for the El Palm Party, but for Pir, the survivor, it was the 30th day since they started their adventure at Mystic Gate.
The food we brought has already run out.
Moreover, the monsters that appear here are skeleton soldiers.
Unlike monsters that could be eaten after being killed, no matter how many times I killed them, I could never fill my stomach.
Because of that, Pir’s appearance was clearly marked by sunken eyes and the traces of not having eaten properly.
Pir, who originally had blond hair and a rather handsome appearance, looked extremely shabby.
“I am the only one who survived.”
But the most tragic thing was that there was only one survivor.
It means that all the comrades who entered watched with their own eyes as they were defeated by the skeleton soldiers.
The El Palm party members were taken aback by Pir’s words.
Because the despair that adventurers who venture beyond the Mystic Gate will eventually face was right before their eyes.
That’s why.
‘It was good that you came.’
Debo thought that he had come to rescue El Palm, following his words.
If it weren’t for them, this guy would have just died a helpless death.
“We came to the rescue.”
That’s why I said it with sincerity.
“Let’s go out together now.”
Survivor Pir answered with sincerity.
“Go out on your own.”
“Yes, go out on your own… Yes?”
Everyone, including Devo, was surprised by that answer.
Meanwhile, Pir continued to speak.
“I have something to find here. I appreciate you coming to rescue me, but ignore me and go first.”
Now others have joined in on the conversation.
“What do you mean?”
“Are you crazy? Hey! What are you looking for when you barely survived on your own?”
“If they’re giving it to me for free, shouldn’t I do it? It’s free!”
It’s utterly incomprehensible.
There was only one exception, El Palm.
He was rather as expected.
‘As expected of a hero tracker.’
Hero Tracker Pir, the one who found the legacy of Fried, which no one had even found a clue about.
His aspirations for his six heroes were far beyond the realm of common sense.
That’s why I came here now.
“There is something you must find. It is important. You cannot leave until you find it, even if you die.”
The hero’s clue is here.
“No, you’re just going to die? Hey, wake up. Do you know how many skeleton soldiers there are here? We caught thousands, thousands!”
Of course, from the perspective of a person with common sense, Devo, it was an area that was incomprehensible.
“Boss, I think we need to do something.”
Eventually, Devo found El Palm, and only then did El Palm move.
“I was asked by Cheryl to rescue the survivors.”
“Thank you for coming to rescue me, but I have work to do. Go outside first and tell her.”
“Then it’s meaningless. There has to be a price to pay for a favor.”
Pir had a gut feeling about that conversation with El Palm.
‘They’re the same type as me.’
That the person in front of you is not someone you can have a conversation with.
Of course, that didn’t change Pir’s behavior.
“So what do you want me to do?”
“Let’s make a deal.”
“transaction?”
“Cheryl’s request was simply to rescue the survivors. There was no content asking for the survivors’ requests to be granted.”
“Are you willing to grant my request?”
“If the price is right, then there’s nothing I wouldn’t agree to, right?”
At that point, Pir’s eyes narrowed.
That was quite an appealing proposition from Pire’s point of view.
No matter what, the adventurer party that Cheryl sent to rescue him must be of extraordinary skill.
No, just looking at the fact that he came all the way here, his skills had already been sufficiently proven.
Do they help themselves?
There was no reason not to make a deal as long as the price was right.
“What do you want?”
El Palm responded to Pir’s deal without hesitation.
“Fried’s Legacy.”
At that moment, Pir’s eyes, which had never wavered until now no matter what was said, shook violently.
Did you really think that name would come up here?
But soon Pir’s eyes stopped.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
He pretended not to know.
But it was no use for El Palm.
El Palm knew the hero’s achievements better than the hero himself.
El Palm knew in particular why he had come here.
“Phantom’s necklace, isn’t that what you came here for?”
At those words, Pir’s pupils trembled even more.
“How about that?”
Because it was something that not even Cheryl knew, it was something that no one in the world knew.
El Palm, on the other hand, knew better.
I couldn’t not know.
Hero Tracker Pir, what made him most famous was the anecdote where he survived for 251 days.
Naturally, people were curious.
Why was the Hero Tracker there for 251 days?
The reason was later revealed.
‘I discovered the location of the secret warehouse of the thief Phantom, and to get in, I needed Phantom’s necklace. The person who had Phantom’s necklace died at this Mystic Gate.’
El Palm couldn’t tell what kind of Mystic Gate it was, but he knew why.
Of course, Pir had no way of knowing how El Palm knew that fact.
I just felt it.
Even though El Palm knows this, it is not a favor to mention it.
‘This is a threat.’
Far from being a favor, this was a warning from El Palm to Pir.
‘If I refuse, he takes it.’
A very eerie warning.
At this point, Pir had virtually no choice.
Still, he could not accept the deal easily. The hero’s traces were as important to him as his life.
To such a Pir, El Palm made a proposal.
“Even if you have Fried’s legacy, you won’t be able to use it unless you’re a wizard. I’m not asking for it. I’m just asking to borrow it. If you need it, I’ll give it back to you whenever you want.”
Pir responded to that suggestion.
“Okay, I’ll make the request.”
El Palm did not respond immediately to that question.
Okay, I got it.
“The request is for you, El Palm, to help me find the Phantom’s necklace. In return, I will lend you Fried’s legacy.”
That Hero Tracker Pirga was not one to accept a deal readily.
“But there is a condition.”
Pir, he added to the deal.
“Complete the request within 20 days.”
All of this needs to be done within 20 days.
That was a ridiculous suggestion.
‘There’s no way that’ll happen.’
He came here with dozens of his colleagues, but they were all wiped out without being able to do anything properly.
Moreover, this was a yellow level.
A place that exists up to the 3rd floor!
You can get out of that hell by getting past the third floor within 20 days?
It’s not an easy task even if you just ask them to do it. No, it’s almost impossible.
However, Pir’s request included finding what he wanted: the Phantom’s necklace.
Of course, this was Pir’s attempt at negotiation.
‘We can’t keep getting dragged around in negotiations.’
An attempt to make the situation a little more advantageous to oneself.
‘Get angry first.’
Pir, of course, thought that El Palm would show anger and dissatisfaction.
El Palm said to such a Pir.
“I’ll do it on the 20th.”
I will accept the offer.
“And for every day you bring forward the strategy, you will receive an additional 1 million mesos.”
With additional conditions.
“what?”
The moment Pir was surprised by those words, that was the moment.
Brrrrrr!
“Boss! The skeleton soldiers are coming!”
A group of skeleton soldiers rushed in. El Palm, who had seen the group, turned his head and said.
“Apollo’s fiery arrows.”
