The Last Adventurer

Chapter 150 – Outlaws (2)

3.

“El Palm has arrived!”

That was nonsense.

At most, one warrior adventurer was attacked by Fire Arrow.

Even in that case, it was a situation where I couldn’t even properly understand how it happened.

In a situation where no one had even a clue as to where or how the Fire Arrow came from, it was absurd to try to pinpoint someone.

‘Unpredictable attack.’

But on the contrary, everyone believed it.

‘This is the wizard El Palm.’

El Palm.

Quite a bit was known about him in the world.

I couldn’t write it down.

Because it has been the fastest growing name in recent years and is always mentioned at big events.

In the battle for the crown prince that took place in the Ariant Kingdom in the Nihal Desert, El Palm’s name became a name that every adventurer in Maple World would have heard at least once.

Of course, the public reaction to him was twofold.

One is that El Palm Party’s achievements were all based on luck and lies, meaning they were frauds.

In fact, this was the majority reaction.

That’s understandable, because the achievements of El Palm Party were simply unbelievable.

But not everyone was like that.

Some believed it.

At least now, the outlaws who had come to hunt El Palm’s party here believed in El Palm’s abilities.

‘Such ridiculous attacks are El Palm’s style.’

El Palm’s Fire Arrow moves like a snake, I believed that fact and that’s why I was sure that the attack at that moment was El Palm’s attack.

Naturally, the outlaws’ gazes changed.

‘at las.’

‘A 100 million meso coin has appeared.’

With the eyes of a hunter who has found the prey he was chasing.

At that point, Ispa asked El Palm.

“Which direction did the attack come from?”

At that question, El Palm turned his head to the left.

That fact made Espa’s subordinates try to move slightly.

“no.”

Espa stopped those subordinates.

“El Palm’s Fire Arrows are like snakes. So, anything flying from there is likely fake.”

As I said before, the outlaws here, including Ispa, believed in El Palm’s abilities.

That’s why I didn’t move rashly.

“It’s dangerous to chase. Back off.”

Instead, he chose to retreat.

There was no opposition.

‘I confirmed that El Palm is there.’

‘There’s nowhere to run anyway.’

‘The number is much greater here. There is no reason to hunt too aggressively.

Because the outlaws of the Elnas Mountains have more patience than adventurers anywhere else.

There was only one exception.

“My colleague’s condition is not good!”

El Palm, his words led Ispa and the other outlaws to look at his comrade, Divo, who had been attacked.

“Ugh, ugh, ugh.”

Although he was treated with healing magic, Divo’s condition did not look very good.

It couldn’t have been better.

‘I got screwed.’

‘It’s brave not to die.’

The affected areas were the shoulder, knee and abdomen.

Among them, the one that hit the abdomen was the biggest.

‘Even if it is treated with heel, there will be considerable aftereffects.’

Using the heal skill will definitely heal the wound, but it won’t heal it completely.

Even if treatment was given, it was only to the extent of barely healing the wound.

If the wound is too severe, it means that you cannot move or move properly.

In the case of the abdomen, since there are organs there, if it is hit there, it has a huge impact on physical activity itself.

The same was true for the knees.

‘My joints are hurt.’

The joint area was an area that was harder to treat than expected.

Of course, there were exceptions.

If the supporter has a legendary grade or higher item that enhances the heal skill.

But isn’t it highly unlikely that such a case will occur now?

It was as expected.

After receiving only simple treatment in order to retreat, Debo was unable to walk properly and limped.

Ralph joined the retreating procession, supporting the fallen Devo.

“Everyone, watch out for additional attacks!”

That was the moment when everyone retreated.

Shhh!

Three fire arrows flew in with a sound of cutting wind.

“Ahh!”

And those three fire arrows pierced Miner’s body this time.

The moment they saw it, Ispa and the other outlaws noticed it right away.

‘They’re targeting the weaker side first.’

That this attack is not random.

‘This is proof that they have a perfect grasp of our forces.’

‘I know that El Party is the weakest, so I’m targeting them precisely.’

At that moment, a chill ran down the outlaws’ spines.

How can you already have a perfect grasp of the situation here without even properly encountering it, let alone fighting it?

Naturally, they thought.

‘The rumors were true.’

El Palm, that the stories about him were true, not exaggerations or lies.

‘It’s a monster.’

“Chees.”

“Yes, I know what you’re trying to say.”

At that point the outlaws came to a conclusion.

“Let’s join hands with other groups.”

4.

The number of outlaws who entered Mystic Gate in pursuit of the El Palm Party was 356.

And they were divided into three groups in total.

It was a very natural process to split into three groups.

If there are two groups, they will eventually clash in some way.

On the other hand, it was different if there were three groups.

A structure in which the moment one side attacks the other, the other side wins.

In other words, checks and balances were possible.

These three groups gathered in one place.

It was none other than Espa who brought them together.

She said.

“I won’t make much of a fuss. Let’s all join hands.”

Let’s stop competing.

Naturally, both groups did not accept it easily.

“Even so, if that’s the case, then the share that falls is too small.”

“If you were thinking of making that much money, you wouldn’t have come here.”

Although the amount of money hanging around the neck of the El Palm Party was not small, it was not a large sum when divided among more than 300 people.

“I thought so too.”

I knew Espa too.

“But El Palm, his abilities were not a lie. If you try to calculate that against him, you could be annihilated.”

Nevertheless, the reason she made this suggestion was simple.

“It’s no use if you’re dead.”

El Palm’s abilities are even more dangerous.

In fact, if someone else had said this, no one would have listened.

But Espa was different.

The Outlaw Hunter, that nickname wasn’t just a nickname.

It was a nickname given to him because he had exceptional skills among the countless outlaw hunters.

Because those were her words, the leaders of both groups also listened.

Of course, I didn’t accept it right away.

“Is there a way?”

“There’s nothing to think about. Our goal is El Palm’s neck and Aran’s items. All of these can be obtained by occupying the 4th floor.”

It was a clear answer.

But that answer wasn’t enough.

“Is that all?”

Espa delivered the final blow to them.

“Think about what would happen if you took Aran’s items. Would the others just leave you alone?”

In fact, what everyone was worried about right now was what Espa said.

Get Aran’s items?

A happy thing.

But keeping it was never easy.

If it’s Aran’s item, there will be a lot of outlaws who will rush in with their eyes turned towards it.

There was no need to go far to find it.

All the outlaws here now did so.

I came here without looking back, my eyes drawn to El Palm’s neck and Aran’s items.

At that moment, I didn’t have any worries like that.

In other words, now it’s done.

“What happens after we take it outside?”

“It’s not too late to worry about it then.”

That’s why.

“If we move in a group, we won’t be attacked easily.”

“good.”

The other two groups nodded at Espa’s suggestion.

The moment when almost all the outlaws here become one group.

‘No, why are things going this way?’

It was by no means a welcome moment for the El Palm Party.

‘If we all join hands like this, it’ll be more of a headache, right?’

El Palm said.

There will be no all-out clashes between outlaws.

But there will definitely be some conflict.

Even if there was no collision, this was the 400-person Mystic Gate. It was the most difficult place to conquer.

In this place where it is not easy to conquer even if everyone joins forces, if several groups split up and move, there will be many deaths during the adventure.

But the story changed.

‘Did the boss make a mistake?’

El Palm, most of the outlaws joined his operation.

Finally, Devo asked cautiously.

“Boss, isn’t this a problem?”

El Palm asked back at that question.

“problem?”

I just find it hard to understand why you think this is a problem.

Debo said with a slightly embarrassed look on his face.

“No, isn’t that right? If all the outlaws join hands, it won’t be good for us. Aren’t they going to attack the 4th floor without any problems right away?”

“I guess so.”

“If we rush into the 4th floor with full power, there’s nothing good for us, right?”

“Why is it not good?”

“Well, we have to fight, right?”

El Palm smiled at that question.

“That’s also an option.”

“yes?”

“Because we are El Party.”

“ah!”

Only then did everyone understand what El Palm was saying.

“El Fati was seriously injured.”

Moreover, El Palm Party is currently unable to fight properly due to injuries.

That’s why El Palm wished.

“I hope everything goes smoothly.”

And just as he had hoped, it came true.

The outlaws’ Mystic Gate raid went so smoothly that it was hard to believe it was a 400-person Mystic Gate.

“This is the exit to the second floor!”

On the 5th day after entering, I went up to the 2nd floor.

The desert we encountered like that!

“From here on, I will take the lead.”

There, the teeth became the leaders.

There was no opposition.

There was no one who didn’t know that he was once a renowned thief in the Nihal Desert.

Naturally, he performed amazingly in the desert, and on the fourth day the outlaw party was able to reach the third floor.

“Here?”

“Like Sleepywood Forest?”

The third floor we came across was a forest exactly like Sleepywood Forest.

A forest full of darkness!

It was never an easy stage, but the outlaws were not afraid.

There was no reason for that.

“It’s been a while.”

Outlaw hunter Ispa, the stage where she was active during her adventures was the Sleepywood Forest.

Naturally, the subsequent attack went very smoothly.

That was one of the scary things about outlaw parties.

“With adventurers gathered from all over Maple World, their ability to deal with situations is no joke.”

That there are so many people with diverse experiences.

This was a pretty great point.

No matter how great an adventurer you are, there are limits to the environments you can experience.

Additionally, adventuring parties usually had similar experiences on similar stages.

It’s never been common for people with diverse experiences to come together.

This is the Elnas Mountains, and the teamwork that can be shown because they are outlaws.

“boss.”

By then, El Palm Party could not help but worry again.

“It’s not bad if things are going smoothly, but isn’t it too smooth?”

The number of people in the outlaw party right in front of the 4th floor was 341, so the damage was extremely minimal.

“Won’t Aran’s items be stolen?”

It’s clear that El Palm Party has a choice, but in this situation, they’ll have to give up Aran’s items for now.

El Palm answered Devo’s question.

“The next four floors will be hell.”

It wasn’t a vague expectation.

It wasn’t like I had any foresight or anything.

It wasn’t like that because I had previously conquered this Mystic Gate.

‘There’s no way the hell the followers of the Black Mage created to devour adventurers would be this bad.’

What is there is none other than faith in the followers of the Black Wizard!

This was because they believed that they would use any means and methods necessary to annihilate adventurers.

El Palm’s belief soon became reality.

“It’s the 4th floor!”

“There’s Aran’s item over there!”

A group of lawbreakers are more excited than ever before, standing in front of the entrance to the 4th floor.

Of course, they headed to the 4th floor without hesitation and were able to meet up soon.

“oh my god.”

“It’s a snow storm!”

“Damn, it’s so cold!”

“Ugh, it’s as cold as a cold plain.”

A blizzard so severe that you can’t see even an inch ahead, and an indescribably bitter cold.

Of course, you couldn’t call it hell with that.

“Wait a minute, what is this?”

“Is that an ice statue?”

“No, this is not an ice statue.”

It was the moment they saw the ice statue waiting for them at the entrance that they realized this was hell.

“The body was frozen. By magic.”

“Magic? Wait, then?”

At that moment, everyone knew.

“Is there really a witch in the snowy mountains?”

What is the boss monster here?
