The Last Adventurer

Chapter 131

Chapter 131 – Plastic Potion (1)

One.

The Knights of Signus have been active throughout Maple World.

Among them, the most active one was monster subjugation.

“Adventurers will also subdue monsters. As long as they get paid.”

That was a big deal.

“But the Knights of Signus will subdue monsters without any cost.”

Because in the process, the Knights of Signus did not ask for any price.

“That’s why they deserve respect.”

That was the biggest reason why the Knights of Signus were praised.

Of course, that doesn’t mean that the Knights of Signus simply made sacrifices without thinking.

They took advantage of this fact.

We have worked hard to let Maple World know that the Knights of Signus are different from adventurers.

Naturally, the Knights of Signus did not hide the results of their accomplishments.

When he subdued a monster, he was happy to share the process and results with everyone in the world.

This time it was the same.

“The Knights of Signus have defeated the Chimera that appeared in the Magatia Underground Laboratory!”

The moment the Chimera subjugation ended, the name of the Knights of Signus resounded throughout Magatia.

“Grandel! The cleaners cleaned Magatia’s underground laboratory thoroughly!”

In the process, Grandel’s name also resonated.

Of course, it was the El Palm Party that actually subdued the Chimera, but that fact was not known.

About him, El Palm said:

“There is nothing good about revealing your name. Please leave this matter to Grandel.”

At those words, Grandel nodded.

“thank you.”

‘It’s certain. It’s certain that he’s a secret agent.’

It would be even stranger if El Palm, the secret agent, revealed my name.

In other words, Grandel was now convinced that El Palm was a secret agent.

And that’s what El Palm wanted.

Now, the one who will guarantee the newly created identity is the Knights of Signus, and if the Knights of Signus consider El Palm Party as a secret agent, their activities will become easier in many ways.

“I heard that adventurers joined the Grandel party this time?”

“adventurer?”

“El party.”

“L?”

“I guess he was hired to guard the guide.”

“Oh, it’s a spoon.”

“I’m jealous. I want to scoop up some of that with a spoon. Anyway, a title is a title, right?”

In any case, the El Palm Party was known not for its activities but for its support of Grandel’s reputation.

Meanwhile, there was someone who gained as much fame as Grandel.

“But if you hire an adventurer to protect your guide, then it seems like your guide is no ordinary person.”

“Hey, didn’t you know?”

“what?”

“This time our guide is Umar!”

“Umar? No way?”

“Umar, the disciple of Carson, the president of the Zenumist Association! He is the one who will be the guide this time!”

“Him? Why? In a dangerous way?”

“Since the one who created the chimera was an alchemist of the Zenumist school, he took responsibility as the president’s disciple and volunteered to be the guide.”

“That’s amazing.”

Umar, his fame filled Magatia.

No, not full level, but it got much more praise than the cleaner Grandel.

There was nothing strange.

“An alchemist who knows how to sacrifice!”

Magatia’s alchemists were a bunch of people who only cared about themselves.

It is only natural that the existence of an alchemist who is willing to risk his life and make sacrifices for something that is not his job is particularly highlighted in such a place.

Of course, Umar was not pleased with the praise.

‘Damn, things have gotten so messed up that it’s like this.’

To be exact, he had no time.

‘This is not the time to be doing this. We need to quickly prepare the next plan. If we continue like this, we might get caught in the crossfire.’

The chimera corpse he created was recovered by the Knights of Signus.

Afterwards, the Knights of Signus will investigate the chimera’s corpse and track down the alchemist who created the chimera.

Tracking him down is not easy, but if tracking him down were successful, Umar’s life would be over at that moment.

Actually, in this situation, running away would usually be the right answer.

But Umar could not do that.

‘We have to settle this in Magatia somehow.’

Because the alchemists of Magatia were the only ones who could use alchemy in Magatia.

The moment he left Magathia, Umar was no longer the brilliant alchemist who created the Chimera, but a weak commoner who could not even last a day in the desert.

A complicated situation in many ways.

But what had to be done immediately was clear.

‘First, let’s have dinner with that guy, El.’

Keeping a dinner appointment with Elle.

Actually, it wasn’t difficult.

What’s so difficult about just eating?

‘What, is there a problem?’

“Your nerves will be fine. Even if they are cut again, you will be able to feel the same pain clearly.”

A smile more eerie than any smile.

“Z, why are you doing this without any evidence?”

Even in such a situation, Umar bravely continued his acting, and Dibo laughed at the fact and swung his knife.

Phew!

This time I cut off my index finger.

“Oh, sorry. I had to cut off another finger, but I ended up cutting the same one again.”

“Fuck!”

At that moment, Umar could no longer continue acting.

“Ugh, yeah, yeah I made a chimera!”

Eventually, he confessed.

The atmosphere created by El Palm was more than enough to shake Umar’s firm resolve.

Of course, this does not mean that Umar went to confession, confessing all his sins and asking for forgiveness.

“What the hell is wrong with creating a chimera!”

He was rather angry.

“I made it to survive in this fucking world, so what’s the problem with that!”

The anger was genuine.

Debo tilted his head at those sincere words.

“Surviving? What the hell are you talking about?”

You were going to die because you created the chimera, so how could you not know that? You created the chimera to survive?

Umar said about it with his eyes wide open.

“You never know what might pop out of that Mystic Gate, so it’s ridiculous not to prepare for it.”

“what?”

“This is why adventurers are the problem. Do you know what the Mystic Gate is and trust it? Do you know when a monster will pop out from there?”

“A monster pops out? Does that make sense?”

Umar, he knew better than anyone the dangers of creating chimeras, as was obvious.

If you get caught making it, you’re dead.

However, the reason for making it was simple.

“Who said that adventurers can go in and out, but monsters can’t come out? Huh? Did the Mystic Gate say that because it has a mouth?”

He couldn’t believe the Mystic Gate.

From his perspective as an alchemist, the Mystic Gate was obviously someone’s work.

“Moreover, there has been no mention of a Mystic Gate like this anywhere in the history of Maple World!”

It was by no means some sort of naturally occurring abnormal phenomenon.

“And yet, those adventurers just believe it. They say that the Mystic Gate is a miracle from heaven.”

The bigger problem was that no one in Maple World was prepared for the apocalypse to begin at Mystic Gate.

“Everyone thinks it’s a miracle and plans to attack, but when it actually happens, no one is prepared.”

That’s why.

“Even items that I’ve never seen in Maple World before, items imbued with the power of the gods, are coming over, and I’m using them happily, thinking they’re legendary items. Do you know how ridiculous this is? Don’t you know? This is the collapse of the rules made by the god of this world, the Overseer! This is the collapse of the world!”

Umar wanted to prepare for that unexpected day, and that’s how the chimera came to be.

I thought that if I made a chimera and made the Magatia Underground Laboratory my castle, I would be able to stop the monsters from rushing out from the Mystic Gate.

“Then what are we going to do? We have to find our own way to survive. Okay?”

To be exact, I thought I could survive.

Of course, everyone, including Dibbo, looked dumbfounded at Umar’s words.

From their perspective, Umar was just a fucking idiot who had delusions of grandeur and created a monster called the Chimera.

“is not it?”

But El Palm was different.

“I understand your intention.”

He understood why Umar did so.

I couldn’t help but understand.

Because Umar was right.

‘If it weren’t for the King of Chimera, the Magatia Underground Laboratory would have been taken over by the Android Army much earlier.’

Additionally, thanks to Umar becoming the King of Chimera and taking over Magatia’s underground laboratory, the growth of the android army that later broke out of the Mystic Gate was slowed down.

Because two legions of monsters fought over one castle.

Although the victors were the Android Legion, the King of the Chimeras did not fall easily.

Umar, meaning that the plan he accomplished was quite good.

“huh?”

At El Palm’s reaction, not only his colleagues but also Umar himself looked surprised.

It was a natural reaction for someone who didn’t know what El Palm had experienced before returning to the past.

“But whatever your intentions were, it doesn’t matter.”

Of course, El Palm had no intention of forgiving Umar or anything like that.

There was no reason.

He is the one who put into action a really fucking plan to wipe out the Knights of Signus.

If it weren’t for El Palm, he would have been a murderer who would have killed thousands or tens of thousands of people.

“You must die here.”

There is absolutely no reason to sympathize.

“If it goes according to the rules.”

However, that does not mean that El Palm intends to enforce justice here.

“If things were according to the rules, they would have just executed him publicly without having to go through such a complicated process.”

There was only one thing that mattered to him now.

“Even so, if a place like this was created, there must be a reason, right?”

Knock knock!

El Palm said, knocking on the table.

“Let’s make this table into a negotiation table.”
