Chapter 24. Time Attack (4)
10.
“It is the sea that adventurers seek treasure.”
In the world of adventurers, no one would describe treasure-seeking adventurers as materialistic.
It was natural.
“The history of adventurers is also the history of greed.”
Because behind all the great adventures that have taken place so far, adventures that have surprised the world, there has always been the adventurers’ greed and material desires.
“Greed releases the limits in the minds of adventurers.”
That’s why.
“So, we shouldn’t expect normal situations within this Mystic Gate.”
El Palm, why he chose to remain on the first floor of Mystic Gate.
“Because up ahead, there will be fierce competition beyond the level of competition.”
At those words, El Palm’s colleagues nodded.
But there was still a look of doubt on his face.
I never doubted El Palm.
“No, but is that really the case? Aren’t the conditions quite strict in many ways?”
That’s understandable, because this Mystic Gate wasn’t over just by conquering it.
“It has to be done within a week. If the adventurers are sensible, they will cooperate to some extent.”
“Yeah, and you have to find the stuff, right? It’s a treasure hunt. It’s not too late to fight.”
“I don’t think fighting blindly will make any money.”
The conditions for attack are difficult in many ways.
“Common sense tells you that it’s correct.”
El Palm didn’t deny it either.
“If you don’t know the value of a legendary item.”
But this time, things were different from common sense.
“If I didn’t know its value, I would never have accepted this commission. Only those who know its value are here.”
At least the adventurers here were those who valued legendary items more highly than anyone else.
‘If only that were the case, then I’d be fine with it.’
Of course, there was something else that El Palm considered most dangerous.
‘Queen Areda would not stay still.’
11.
She was a truly beautiful woman.
Her skin was like white jade, her black eyes were like jewels, and her voluminous blonde hair was so luscious that it shone like a halo.
It was so beautiful it was blinding.
It was no exaggeration.
“Queen Aretha.”
Her name is Areda, and her beauty actually blinded the king of Ariant, a great kingdom in Maple World.
And in return for blinding him, he gave everything, everything the king had in his possession, to Queen Areda.
“Evoque.”
Right now, Ivok, who was the top lord of the upper class of Kania, was kneeling in front of her.
A wonder to the world.
But there was nothing strange between the two.
“I heard the story.”
Because they were under the same name.
“From him, Will.”
Will, the Black Wizard’s closest confidant and one of the commanders of the legions that virtually lead the Black Wizard’s followers!
Queen Areda and Ivok were the same under that name.
Of course, the location wasn’t the same.
“You failed?”
“sorry.”
Queen Areda, her position was higher than that of Ivok.
What it meant was not simple.
“Will said he would delegate the judgment of you to me.”
It means that the fate of Ivok is in the hands of Queen Areda.
That was why Evoque walked the long way from the port city of Lys to the capital of the Kingdom of Ariant and knelt down.
“I will give you a chance.”
Because he had to do it so as not to die.
“Kashan, that child is moving towards me. He is not my child, but it still breaks my heart that my child is trying to harm me. Is there no way out?”
Your own worth.
“I’ve heard the whole story. I’ll give you the best card I have.”
And for that, Evoque gave it his all.
“I prepared a killer bee.”
Killer Bee!
The moment that name was mentioned, Queen Areda’s jewel-like eyes narrowed.
It was a name I could not have not known.
Evoque, because it was one of the seven cards he had.
Of course, he was no ordinary adventurer.

“Are you the giant slayer Killer Bee?”
Giant Slayer.
He was the owner of a title given only to adventurers who hunted the Sunset Giant, a boss monster that only appears beyond the Mystic Gate of Orange rank or higher.
It was not a light title.
But that doesn’t mean it was a particularly great title.
This means that just having this title alone doesn’t make it an Evoque card.
Still, there was a reason why Queen Areda was interested in this title of giant slayer.
“Yes, I am Killer Bee, the Giant Slayer of Circle 1.”
It means that you hunted a boss monster that only 3rd circle adventurers can hunt when you were in 1st circle.
Of course, I never hunted alone.
It was the result of joining a 3rd circle adventurer party.
Still, the results were anything but ordinary.
First of all, it was a great thing that a 1st circle adventurer, not even a 2nd circle, entered the orange rank Mystic Gate.
“At that time, he played a decisive role in hunting the sunset giant.”
Crucially, Killer Bee wasn’t just a lucky party member; he was a key member of the party.
The reason it was possible in Circle 1 was simple.
“I’ve heard the story. That he’s a master of poison magic.”
The magical property he uses is poison.
In any case, he was quite a skilled person.
Killer Bee, currently a 4th circle wizard adventurer, has always carried out his missions perfectly under Evoque’s command.
Queen Areda also acknowledged it.
“hmm.”
But I wasn’t satisfied.
That was the situation.
First of all, the opponent was the third prince of Kashan, no ordinary person.
“But will that be enough? I heard that even the poisonous snake Nir was easily defeated.”
Crucially, the Evoque’s capabilities were questioned.
If he had such great cards, he would never be kneeling here like this.
Ivoke knew it too.
“The Hydra fangs that Will gave me were three, and I lost one of them along with the viper Nir. In the end, I was left with two.”
So he took it out.
“I gave both of them to Killer Bee.”
“Ohh.”
Queen Areda reacted to those words.
It gives you two legendary items, which is not an ordinary thing.
But that was it.
Queen Areda only showed a reaction.
For her, who has taken over the gigantic stage of the Ariant Kingdom, legendary items are nothing more than that.
“Lastly, I gave her a Luminous bracelet, which was one of her collections.”
“Luminous’ bracelet?”
But the moment Luminous’ name was mentioned, Queen Areda’s eyes widened.
It was worth it.
“One of those six heroes?”
Even in the long history of Maple World, Luminous’s presence was great.
It’s something that will also catch Queen Areda’s attention.
“But what does Luminous’ bracelet have to do with Killer Bee? Luminous is a magician who uses light and darkness.”
On the one hand, it was questionable.
“Isn’t Killer Bee a poison attribute wizard?”
Evoque smiled at that question.
“Luminous’ bracelet enhances the user’s psychic powers. Very powerfully. That’s why it’s a collectible. Luminous didn’t use it, but it was too dangerous to put in Maple World.”
A confident smile.
“And Killer Bee, he can use two magical properties. Poison and telekinesis. That’s why he’s Killer Bee.”
And it was worth smiling like that.
“He uses the most powerful poison magic of all. And he uses his telekinesis magic to accurately hit the target with the poison arrows he creates. There is no such thing as failure with Killer Bee’s poison arrows.”
Evoque, he could say it with confidence.
“I guarantee it. There is no one who can handle telekinesis and other attribute magic more perfectly than he does today.”
12.
Kkie!
Lupin.
It was a gigantic monkey monster of extreme ferocity and was quite a headache for adventurers.
There were two reasons why it was a headache.
One is that they move in flocks of as many as several dozen or as many as a thousand!
Kkiikki!
The second headache was that the monkey monsters called Lupin knew how to use a throwing attack.
This was a pretty scary part.
Even a simple stone can become a fearsome weapon when thrown.
Moreover, the strength of the monster called Lupin was much stronger than that of an average adventurer. The rocks they threw were so painful that they were beyond the level. If they hit you in the head, your pupils would shake.
Also, like monkeys, Lupins had the natural talent of climbing tall trees with ease.
Kkieeee!
And as I said before, Lupins used to travel in groups of tens or hundreds.
When that huge number of people threw rocks at the trees, the adventurers usually had the same thought.
The thought of, “What should I do?”
It was no different for veterans.
In these situations, there was usually only one choice.
Run away!
In fact, there was no other choice. The only way was to run away and then judge the situation.
However, this is usually the case because there are exceptions.
That’s what El Palm Party was like now.
They didn’t run away.
There was no reason to paint.
Phew!
Because the Fire Arrows created by El Palm were clearing out the hordes of Lupins that filled the trees.
It wasn’t just a removal either.
Phew!
fast.
Queek!
Without even giving Lupin a chance to say a proper goodbye.
Shhh!
He accurately targeted and knocked down the Lupins hiding in between the trees and all over the dizzying stage.
A sight worthy of admiration.
Of course, Lupins weren’t stupid.
Kieeeee!
While their fellows in the trees were being hunted mercilessly, the Lupins came down to the ground.
Then he ran towards El Palm with all his might.
Doo doo doo!
The sight of a herd of about 300 lupines running towards us was overwhelming.
Literally overwhelming.
“come!”
However, the momentum of the Lupin group was crushed mercilessly by El Palm’s colleagues, including Divo, who was wielding a huge polearm.
Bam!
Lupin was crushed like mud in front of Divo’s polearm, and split like a sheet of paper in front of Kiri’s sword.
Boom!
It crumbled like sand before Ralph’s fist.
Taang!
And the Lupins who barely survived in such an onslaught became the targets of Miner’s golden eyes.
It was a moment.
Until the Lupin gang of 500 people were completely annihilated.
Divo burst into laughter at the sight.
Hunting was easy, but it was the results that made Devo smile.
“It’s a magic stone field, a magic stone field.”
Because the magic stones of those overflowing monsters were an indescribable treasure to adventurers.
“It was a good thing I stayed, just like the boss said. It’s Lupin’s field, the field!”
In fact, the third circle of the remaining colleagues, excluding El Palm, was much darker than before.
“At this rate, we’ll soon reach Circle 4.”
Of course, that doesn’t mean it’s a real 4-circle.
Among the 3rd circle adventurers, it was easy for most adventurers to make the circle darker.
It was easy to do, and if you steadily attacked the Mystic Gate for about a year and consumed magic stones, you could see results.
However, the number of adventurers who actually reach the 4th circle was only about 10 percent of the total.
That’s what it meant to reach Circle 4.
“At this rate, there’s no way we’ll end up in the 4th circle.”
“Geumnuni, why are you being a troublemaker?”
This means that slaughtering tens or hundreds of thousands of these miscellaneous monsters is meaningless.
“I’m just trying to tell you the truth.”
There were only two things that were meaningful.
“To open the 4th circle, you need a special boss monster’s magic stone or awakening.”
It wasn’t something that could be achieved just by working hard at both of them.
Miner was the proof right away.
“I’ve been stuck in circle 3 for a few months now.”
Even though she was Captain Kairin’s disciple and received such great support, she spent a considerable amount of time in front of the walls of the 4th Circle.
That’s why.
Everyone laughed at El Palm’s words that he would open the 4th circle.
“It’s not something you can do just because someone tells you to.”
Because that was impossible from the start.
“Who said what? It was just a rumor.”
But El Palm was clear about that.
“It’s not impossible.”
“yes?”
He said he didn’t lie.
“No, boss? You weren’t just saying that to give me courage?”
“There is no need to say such things to give courage.”
Everyone tilted their heads at El Palm’s appearance.
So you were serious about that?
“Hey, does that make sense?”
The one who reacted most sensitively to that fact was Miner.
“how?”
As I said before, she was blocked by the wall of the 4th circle, but even Captain Kairin couldn’t do anything about it.
But El Palm does it?
This is possible if you have the special magic stone mentioned earlier.
“You really? You have the heart of a dragon?”
“There’s no way.”
But there was no way El Palm would have that special magic stone, the Dragon’s Heart.
“Even if you have it, you can’t use it to open the 4th circle.”
Moreover, the dragon’s heart was too valuable an item to be used for something like creating a 4th circle adventurer.
Then there’s only one thing left.
“All that is needed is awakening.”
Going by the book.
At those words, everyone burst into laughter again.
Because everyone knows.
What is awakening?
“To achieve that awakening, you have to reach your limit.”
I knew exactly what El Palm was talking about.
So I laughed even harder.
“Yes, that’s right. You just have to get through the ordeal.”
“So, you experience that crisis here.”
“yes?”
Everyone tilted their heads at El Palm’s words at that time.
“Here you go?”
“It’s not a bad place. There are no other adventurers here right now, except for us. There are no variables.”
“No, that’s true… … .”
Because it was difficult to understand.
“I don’t think I could experience a crisis against someone as simple as Lupin.”
It is here that you will experience a near-death experience.
“Four people play party play.”
The same was true for El Palm’s subsequent words.
“Excuse me, boss.”
It is clear that El Palm’s absence will leave a huge power vacuum.
“Will that do?”
But even with just the four of them, excluding El Palm, Lupin here wasn’t that difficult of an opponent.
El Palm knew it too.
“do.”
Still, El Palm wasn’t worried.
“From now on, I will target the four of you.”
