Chapter 130
Chapter 130 – Chimera Hunt (4)
8.
El Palm, he was the only one who cared about this Chimera subjugation.
‘Is this something our party can handle?’
How difficult is the trap prepared by Umar?
That’s why.
El Palm kept asking questions to Umar.
At the same time, he watched the situation while hiding his strength until the end.
El Palm in particular knew.
‘You must hide your power until you see the Chimera.’
If Umar ever learns of El Palm’s power, he will keep the Chimera hidden.
El Palm’s gambit was spot on.
Umar was confident, and so he willingly took out the chimera.
There El Palm thought again.
‘Even if a chimera appears, its strength is unknown.’
Depending on the strength of the Chimera, we have prepared a strategy to suit it.
‘If there’s a problem, I’ll run away.’
Among them, there were those who gave up on the suppression.
It was natural.
El Palm was not an adventurer who caught uncatchable monsters with grit and determination.
Because I realized more deeply than anyone else that it was impossible, that you couldn’t catch a monster with just grit, will, and belief.
“oh my god.”
Then I heard.
“He controls the cube slime!”
Umar, seeing the chimera, poured water on the already cooling spirit of the Knights of Signus.
The moment he heard it, El Palm was convinced.
‘The chimera is weaker than I expected.’
The fact that Umar is going to such lengths to destroy the will of the Knights of Signus by using every means and method possible is proof that the chimera he created is not that strong.
‘Rather than the strength of the entity, it’s the ability to control the cube slime that makes it special.’
That’s why.
“D, K. We’re clearing the way now.”
“How long is it?”
“The road to the chimera.”
El Palm put Divo and Kiri at the forefront without hesitation.
The moment they heard those words, even though it was so obvious, the Knights of Signus, including Grandel, were terrified.
“What are you talking about now?”
And Grandel pointed out.
“You’re dealing with a chimera right now?”
Clearly, El Palm was quickly removing the cube slime with amazing abilities.
However, not all the cube slimes were removed yet.
Moreover, the strength of the chimera has not been confirmed.
“Now is the time to step back.”
It’s clearly a time for retreat, but instead, you’re making your way towards the Chimera?
“Do you think the same thing?”
Words that are beyond understanding and therefore unacceptable.
“All right.”
“good night.”
“I beg your pardon?”
However, Divo and Kiri did not offer any rebuttal to El Palm’s words.
There was no reason to do it.
If El Palm said so, then it was right.
“There is one condition today.”
El Palm said to those two.
“Gorgeously.”
“yes?”
“Make the road more splendid than ever before.”

El Palm said to Divo and Kiri, who were tilting their heads at the request.
“Because it’s my debut.”
The moment I heard those words, there was no question.
“Yes, let’s make it fancy.”
9.
When Divo and Kiri said they would open the way, everyone in the Signus Knights said they were crazy.
Okay, I got it.
“It’s Circle 4!”
A path that even the Soul Masters of the 5th Circle cannot break through, but a warrior and Soul Master of the 4th Circle can?
Something that can’t be happening.
But their thoughts were soon shattered.
Devo and Kiri showed.
“Brave Slash!”
“Solar Slash!”
The sight of mercilessly slaughtering the rushing cube slimes using two weapons, a polearm and a sword.
It looked easy.
But everyone here knew.
‘how?’
Cube Slime had the properties of a slime, namely that its body was very acidic.
Trying to cut down such a cube slime from a close range was like asking to be doused with a powerful acid solution.
But Devo and Kiri did it.
In the midst of this merciless massacre, he escaped the acidic solution of the cube slime.
‘How do you control the distance so perfectly?’
That was skill.
It’s not just about using powerful skills, but also handling weapons perfectly, including those skills.
Devo and Kiri had such skills.
Of course, there was that too.
‘If you get hurt.’
‘Ralph will cure you.’
The belief that Ralph will heal any injury.
‘If it makes a difference.’
‘Miner supports you.’
Taang!
Also, the belief that Miner’s golden eyes would not miss their weaknesses.
‘Even in the worst case scenario.’
‘El Palm, he is there.’
Crucially, they had the most powerful leader in Maple World behind them, El Palm.
There was no reason to hesitate or worry.
Phew!
All you have to do is make a road.
And they did.
Kyaaaa!
A chimera that repeatedly calls out to Cube Slime while making strange noises.
Doo doo doo!
Divo, Kiri, Miner, and Ralph made their way through a wall made of tens of thousands of cube slimes that had gathered at the chimera’s call.
The end has been reached.
Kyaaaa!
Right in front of the chimera’s nose.
The first one to attack at that moment was none other than Divo.
He made a big leap forward.
“Leaf Attack!”
With that leap, he quickly closed the distance with the chimera, and at the same time swung his polearm down like lightning.
The polearm of Divo, which had been struck down like that, slammed into the head of the chimera, making a sound.
Boom!
It was a strong sound.
A sound like iron clashing with all its might.
It was a sound that told me that the Chimera’s head was as hard as steel.
It was never good.
A hard head means that even moderate attacks cannot cause fatal damage.
‘Look at this?’
But instead, the shock changed Devo’s eyes. His eyes began to sparkle.
It had to be that way.
‘Can’t you avoid this?’
From Divo’s perspective, he was certain the moment he saw the Chimera, which could not even properly block his attacks, let alone dodge them.
‘Hey, you’re weaker than I thought.’
This chimera conquest is much easier than you think.
Only then did I realize.
‘So, the boss?’
Why El Palm asked to make a road.
Of course I didn’t forget those words.
‘Okay, this is good enough for a show.’
That word, gorgeously.
Boohoo, boohoo!
The moment he thought of those words, Divo began spinning his polearm in the air like a windmill.
Actually, it was a pointless thing.
But it was definitely gorgeous to look at.
After spinning the polearm like a windmill, Divo quickly fixed his grip on the polearm and swung it straight at the chimera.
The attack struck the chimera’s body straight through.
Kaang!
This time again there was a solid sound.
‘young.’
Of course, from Devo’s point of view, this meant that Chimera’s close combat ability was significantly lacking.
‘You’re lost.’
Divo, full of confidence in that fact.
That was the moment.
Phew!
‘huh?’
A sword protruded from the chimera’s chest.
It was Kiri.
While Divo was distracting Chimera, Kiri moved behind him and stabbed him with his sword.
It was an attack far from flashy, almost like an assassin’s attack.
“Hey! Now is not the time for that! Don’t you know the boss’s orders? Be flashy!”
Divo scolds Kiri for that fact.
But the scolding didn’t last long.
It reached their ears.
“You two, step back.”
El Palm’s voice.
The moment they heard that voice, Divo and Kiri literally ran away from their seats.
And they could see.
“Explosion.”
El Palm, the scene where the explosion magic he wrote is activated near the chimera.
Kwakwakwakwang!
A spectacular explosion scene that defies comparison with any other 5th circle magician.
Kyaaaa!
It was a powerful attack, but the chimera did not die.
But when the tattered cloak it was wearing disappeared, the chimera’s body was revealed to be completely normal.
The body, which was made up of the bodies of several monsters stitched together like rags, looked like it could collapse at any moment due to burns and other injuries.
Now, the only thing left is to finish.
And the finishing touch was El Palm.
“Fire Arrow.”
10.
“Chimera corpse confirmed.”
Grandel didn’t say anything in response to El Palm’s words.
I couldn’t speak.
‘You ignored such a talented person.’
Because I was so embarrassed that I ignored and looked down on a wizard who was incomparably better than me, my face was on the verge of bursting.
On the one hand, I understood.
‘So, Mr. Oz.’
Why did he bring this unheard-of person into his party to carry out this project?
‘You were a secret agent of the Knights of Signus.’
Grandel, she thought that the El Palm Party was a secretly raised non-Knightly force by the Knights of Signus.
It was a power that actually existed.
The Knights of Signus were a powerful force, but conversely, only those who were worthy of the Order could be listed.
Soul Master, Flame Wizard, Wind Breaker, Night Walker, Striker.
Only these five professions could become Knights of Signus.
This means that adventurers who do not have talent for that profession cannot join the Knights no matter how much they want to.
That was quite a loss for the Knights of Signus as well.
There are plenty of great and outstanding people who don’t have talent for that job.
So the Knights of Signus, or more precisely, the Empress of Signus, operated a separate force comprised of adventurers.
If El Palm Party is a separate force, then everything is interpreted.
‘You must think I’m a secret agent.’
And that’s what El Palm was aiming for.
That’s why.
I also intentionally told them to fight as flashily as possible.
The more impressive his performances, the more Grendel and the Signus Knights will think of El Palm Party as a secret agent.
‘I don’t want Oz, though.’
Of course, this was different from what Oz, the Commander of the Knights of Fire, had expected.
From Oz’s perspective, it goes beyond giving him a fake identity and gives him the status of a secret agent of the Knights of Signus.
If El Palm Party caused trouble, the responsibility of the Knights of Signus would inevitably increase.
That was also what El Palm was after.
As the risk to the Knights of Signus increases, the efforts to mitigate that risk will also increase.
This means that you can have Oz, the commander of the Knights of Fire, as a strong background.
‘This concludes our dealings with Oz.’
Moreover, with such clear performance, there was no need to perform additional missions under a fake identity.
In effect, the deal with Oz, the commander of the Knights of Fire, is over.
‘Now all that’s left is to go to the Elnas Mountains.’
Now all that was left was to go to the Elnas Mountains to finalize the deal with the thief Phantom.
Of course, El Palm was not forgotten.
“O Lord Umar.”
“yes?”
At El Palm’s words, Umar looked at him.
With a blank expression.
It was worth it.
‘This, this is ridiculous.’
From Umar’s perspective, his perfect plan was ruined in a way he could never have imagined.
It didn’t just collapse either.
It’s now so thoroughly broken that it can’t be tried again.
Something that will leave you breathless.
“Thank you.”
“What, what did you say?”
“Thanks to Lord Umar, we were able to successfully subdue the Chimera. I am truly grateful for your determination and sacrifice.”
In that situation, El Palm’s words went beyond scratching Umar’s insides and were words that tore at him.
‘This fucking kid!’
Because the plans he had built his entire life were ruined by none other than El Palm.
Naturally, Umar sharpened his sword.
‘If you create another Chimera army, then I will… … .’
Of course, Umar did not know.
“In that sense, I’d like to treat you to a meal, but how about we get out of here and have a meal together somewhere separate?”
“I am just grateful!”
“That’s fortunate.”
El Palm.
“I know a quiet and nice place.”
The fact that he now wants to exact payment from Umar.
