Chapter 14: Mushroom Forest (2)

4.

The first thing adventurers do after entering through the Mystic Gate is to explore using their five senses.

And the first sense they use is their sense of smell.

It was the same now.

Sniff! Sniff!

Without exception, the adventurers who had entered for the 100th Gate participation test sniffed their noses hard.

The Iburu party led by the 2nd Circle adventurer, Pirate, was no exception.

Sniff! Sniff!

Iburu lay flat on the ground and sniffed the ground tirelessly, smelling the earth.

“It’s mushrooms.”

And then he said.

“Green mushrooms.”

At those words, the expressions of the other members hardened.

“I wish it was orange mushrooms. This is going to be annoying.”

No one didn’t know the characteristic moist, pungent, yet fragrant smell that came from places with mushroom monsters.

However, it was never easy to identify the type of mushroom, as Iburu had just done.

“If the leader says so, it must be true.”

That’s why Iburu the Pirate was the leader of this 6-man adventurer party made up of veterans.

He had the deepest knowledge of monsters and the most diverse experience of anyone here.

His colleagues trusted him just as much.

“We only came here because we trusted the leader.”

It was because of that trust that they had stepped foot on this difficult test stage without hesitation.

“For now, the situation is different from when we hunt orange mushrooms, since green mushrooms are here.”

Iburu explained the situation to his colleagues.

“As you know, green mushrooms are smaller than orange mushrooms, but they are much faster and harder at the same time.”

There was no objection to his explanation.

“They are quite difficult monsters to attack.”

Because from the moment they entered the Mystic Gate, Iburu’s words were always the right answer, the truth.

And he made a definitive statement.

“That’s why everyone will have the same thought. Let’s not bother with the green mushrooms and focus on the boss monster.”

“Boss, are those green mushrooms?”

The moment he saw the green mushrooms, Dibo said with a smile.

“There are only five of them. They seem to be stragglers. I’ll take care of them right away.”

And he confidently approached the green mushrooms.

It was for two reasons.

‘This is the time to make an impression.’

To make a good impression on El Paume.

‘And they’re just mushrooms anyway.’

And because he was confident.

It was literally true.

Dibo, with the Polarm in his hand, had more confidence in his fighting ability than ever before, and he had good reason to.

‘The Polarm suits me better than the sword I’ve used my whole life.’

A situation where he could truly taste his own talent.DiiScover new stories on no/v/e/lbin(.)com

‘I’ll finish them off too.’

Furthermore, his talent far exceeded what Dibo had thought or imagined.

‘I’m better than those clumsy adventurer warriors.’

Dibo felt like he had finally become an adventurer, albeit a bit of an exaggeration.

In his confidence, he fought the battle and soon realized something.

“Damn it, why are they so hard?”

The green mushrooms were incredibly tough compared to the orange mushrooms he had faced before.

Of course, they weren’t so tough that they couldn’t be broken as they were still mushroom monsters.

However, the fact that it took two, three, or even four hits to break one was a real pain in the neck during a battle.

This was especially true against mushroom monsters.

Against mushroom monsters that swarmed in numbers, the speed at which they were dealt with was crucial.

If they couldn’t be wiped out in one go, the battle became very troublesome.

Fwip!

But the green mushrooms withstood Dibo’s Polarm, even with its weight, three times.

It was an unexpected situation.

Naturally, the battle became difficult.

“Ugh, ugh!”

After the battle, Dibo lost his initial confidence and spoke with a pale face.

There was no need to repeat the same story.

All he had to do was show him.

Bang!

“Damn it, we took too long. Boss! The mushroom guys are coming. What the hell!”

Just in time.

“One, two... damn it, boss! Let’s go! There are over fifty of them!”

Over fifty green mushrooms came running, and in front of that crowd, El Paume spoke.

“Fire Arrow.”

“B, Boss?”

At the same time, he used his telekinesis to launch the Fire Arrow he had created at the green mushroom.

It flew like a snake.

“That thing is tough.......”

Fwip!

And in an instant, it pierced through the green mushroom’s tough body and burrowed into another green mushroom’s body.

Just like the orange mushroom.

“Huh? Huh?”

Dibo, surprised by that fact, soon realized something.

‘The Fire Arrow is rotating?’

El Paume was using his other telekinesis skill, Revolver.

6.

El Paume was able to become the best telekinesis user because of his environment.

In order to survive in the extreme environment, he had no choice but to hone all of his abilities to the limit.

In the process, El Paume developed several telekinesis techniques.

One of them was the Revolver technique.

The usage is simple.

‘Add rotational force.’

It is the act of rotating a magic that is being moved by telekinesis.

It was by no means an easy task.

‘I can only use one shot.’

It was a technique that required a lot of concentration, and when Revolver was activated, only one object could be moved.

‘But the amount of concentration required is greatly reduced.’

However, it was only concentration that was being consumed. The amount of mana itself consumed was not much different from when dealing with one shot.

‘The power has greatly increased.’

In comparison, the piercing power of the Fire Arrow when the Revolver skill was activated was simply incredible.

The results before his eyes were proof of that.

Fwip!

El Paume’s Fire Arrow began to mercilessly slaughter the tough green mushrooms.

It was an amazing sight.

What’s more, El Paume was no longer alone.

“Here they come!”

Dibo willingly acted as bait for the green mushrooms that were rushing in.

And Dibo, who had become the bait, was more confident than ever before.

That was because he had regained faith.

‘How much is this worth?’

Above all, the profit from the extermination hunt was more than enough to put a smile on Dibo’s face.

Fwip!

‘I can hear the sound of money coming in, I can hear it!’

When the battle was finally over, Dibo burst out laughing.

“Ha.......”

Hahahahahaha!

At that moment, a very loud laugh was heard. It was a laugh so loud that it shook the forest.

“Ho!”

Dibo gasped and covered his mouth at the sound.

And then he looked at El Paume and shook his head in disbelief, saying in a very small voice.

“I-It’s not me. I won’t make the same mistake this time.”

He couldn’t forget the time he made the mistake of calling out monsters with his loud voice.

Of course, El Paume knew it wasn’t Dibo.

His head was already turned in the direction of the incredibly loud laughter.

And his expression was hardened.

‘It’s certain.’

Because the moment he heard that laughter, El Paume knew for sure.

‘The boss monster here is the Jester Deathcap.’

He knew how much of a pain in the neck the boss monster here was.
