One.
“You got in.”
As the green scorpion Kimar and his men went up to the fourth floor, Divo, who was watching the scene from a distance, stuck out his tongue.
“Not a single person died.”
It was a great feat to reach the 4th floor without a single death in a place where just returning alive would be a title for ordinary adventurers.
Of course, it wasn’t something that would make you stick your tongue out in and of itself.
“Yeah, no one died. Thanks to whom.”
What made them stick out their tongues was none other than El Palm and the results he showed them.
Thanks to the traces left by El Palm, the Kimar party was able to reach the portal in the shortest time, via the safest route, without a proper engagement.
To El Palm, this place, this fearsome green-grade Mystic Gate, is within the palm of his hand.
“Kimar was fooled too.”
What was even more surprising was that the traces left by El Palm deceived Kimar, who could be called a veteran.
That was a huge deal.
A person of Kimar’s caliber would have noticed El Palm’s existence the moment the traces were crude or seemed hastily put together.
Even without that, Kimar’s five senses were on a different level. Among them, his sight was the most important, and it was nearly impossible to avoid his eyes.
Such a Kimar is stimulating the five senses, yet he leaves traces without being bothered by it at all, and guides them as he wishes?
It was closer to cooking than judo.
And thanks to El Palm’s cooking, the Kimar party reached the fourth floor without a single casualty.
In fact, at this point, I couldn’t help but feel worried.
“If we keep doing this, aren’t we really going to attack?”
It was a concern that the power of the Kimar Party was too full.
But those worries didn’t last long.
“You’ll know when you go to the 4th floor.”
Finally, we reached the 4th floor and could see the El Palm Party.
2.
“Lab?”
The scenery was that of Magatia’s underground laboratory.
A view of a huge laboratory filled with unique equipment never seen before in Maple World.
“Are you out now?”
When they saw that sight, everyone at El Palm Party thought they had come out through the exit and not from the 4th floor.
In other words, that was common sense.
“This isn’t the 4th floor, is it? I’ve never heard of Magatia’s underground laboratory appearing in the Mystic Gate environment.”
Beyond the Mystic Gate, there were various environments, but Magatia’s underground laboratory was not in any of those environments.
It was natural.
Because Magatia’s underground laboratory was not an environment, but a laboratory literally created by someone.
Because it was completely different from forests or mountains or anything like that.
Of course, El Palm’s common sense was different.
“It’s the 4th floor.”
He wasn’t particularly surprised when he saw the sight before his eyes.
“The Mystic Gate itself is something that does not exist in Maple World. It would not be strange if something appeared beyond it.”
It’s strange to apply common sense to a world that is beyond common sense.
Above all, El Palm knew.
‘In the first place, Magatia’s underground laboratory itself was a black magician’s laboratory.’
The thing that alchemists are most curious about is who is the owner of this underground laboratory in Magatia.
Black Wizard!
That it was a research institute he created a long time ago.
‘The Mystic Gate was also created by followers of the Black Wizard.’
Considering that the Black Wizard existed as a point of contact, it wouldn’t have been strange for Magatia’s underground laboratory to appear.
“And what’s important now is not whether this is out of the ordinary or not.”
“Yes.”
Above all, what El Palm Party should be doing now is not the pursuit of knowledge.
“It’s important to figure out what the monster is here.”
As Devo said, it was important to acquire as much information as possible in order to survive here.
“Well, given the situation, there’s a high chance that a monster will come out of the Magatia Underground Laboratory.”
In fact, it was closer to confirmation than obtaining information.
That’s why.
“It’s going to be a headache when the robots come out. For those scorpion guys.”
Why not everyone is positive about the future of the Kimar Party.
That prediction soon became reality.
Soon after, signs of battle appeared.
“It’s Lloyd.”
The first thing that appeared was none other than the robot monster Lloyd.
It was more like a crude toy than a robot.
A crude mechanical device with a giant light bulb instead of a human head, a body made of just sheet metal, and arms and legs made of wires and such.
A crude toy, literally, as if a child had made a person out of various parts.
However, every adventurer who knew about the Magatia Underground Laboratory would say the same thing.
“These guys are the ones who hit the ball.”
It’s a much more troublesome monster than it looks.
“First of all, magic below 3 circles won’t work, right?”
The most troublesome thing was none other than its extremely high magic resistance.
The magic of adventurers below 3rd circle is practically incapable of dealing any real damage.
But she was the only one who objected.
“I agree.”
“I agree too.”
Miner and Ralph followed Debo’s advice without hesitation.
“Boss, it would be reckless to attack this place on our own. Shouldn’t we just survive?”
Survival, nothing took priority over those two words.
Of course, their opinions were good.
In the end, what matters is El Palm’s choice.
About him, El Palm said:
“impossible.”
In response, Debo said:
“Boss, think about it one more time. I’m telling you straight: I won’t be of any help.”
Please reconsider.
The situation is not good enough to say that.
But El Palm spoke again.
“Can’t catch it.”
“boss!”
El Palm spoke to Divo, who was trying to persuade him again.
“Because he’s probably already dead.”
“yes?”
Everyone questioned those words.
“No, how do you know that?”
“Do you know what a boss monster is?”
You just got to the 4th floor and you’re giving an answer so quickly? That’s impossible without seeing something.
“I don’t know what the boss monster is.”
Of course, El Palm didn’t see anything.
“But there’s no way a member of the Signus Knights would have been so helpless against someone as mere as Lloyd.”
It was just a guess.
“It’s true. There is an entity here that is beyond common sense. And Kimar, he is a strong man of common sense.”
What would happen to a strong person with common sense who meets a monster beyond common sense?
“Kimar will be running away right now, gasping for breath.”
3.
“Ugh, ugh.”
Kimar.
He was now over 60 years old and was running at full speed.
It was the first time in Kimar’s long life that this had happened.
He was always the pursuer, never the fugitive.
In other words, the enemy chasing him now was an enemy of that level.
“Ugh, ugh.”
An enemy so strong that he, old and twisted, runs away gasping for breath.
‘Everyone’s dead.’
Of course, in front of that monster, the disciples and subordinates he had boasted about were left as corpses.
The life or death of Queen Areda’s entourage that came with him was also unknown.
‘Everyone but me.’
Now all that’s left is Kimar, that’s all.
But even that couldn’t guarantee survival.
It wasn’t simply a fear of his subordinates dying.
It was because I knew.
‘This is ridiculous. I never thought that would appear here.’
What is the identity of the monster that killed his subordinate?
That was the moment.
“Coolook!”
Kimar, he suddenly coughed.
“Coolook!”
And the second cough that followed had blood in it.
It was evidence.
‘There’s no way the poison has spread here too... ... .’
Evidence that he was poisoned by nothing other than poison.
That was nonsense.
As much as Kimar uses deadly poison, he carries around a strong antidote, but is there a poison that even he cannot detoxify?
Meaning a poison so horrible that it is ridiculous.
‘ah.’
Of course, right now, the presence or absence of such poison was irrelevant.
“Coolook!”
The important thing is that Kimar, who has been poisoned, is now unable to even run away while gasping for breath.
And he stopped walking because he had to meet someone.
Squeak, squeak.
A giant storage box containing a heart of steel, and an android robot carrying it.
‘D. Roy... ... .’
D., the monster that turned the Magatia Underground Laboratory into hell in the past.
That was the moment when Roy appeared.
