00:00:00The story starts with a flashback showing how the useless father of our protagonist abused him when he was an

00:00:05ugly kid.

00:00:06He called him an eyesore, said he was an useless loser brat, and hit him even when he was eating.

00:00:12As for his bitch mother, she simply watched TV dramas while ignoring how her son was being badly beaten.

00:00:19Back to the present, our protagonist was on a school bus and had been pulled out of his reverie by

00:00:24Ayaka Sagu,

00:00:25the class president, asking Shugo Oyamada to give her novel back.

00:00:29However, the other guy, who looked like a delinquent, simply mocked her for being one of those sweets for brains

00:00:35who read romance novels.

00:00:37Unfortunately for her, none of her classmates seemed willing to help her.

00:00:41Some because they seemed too afraid to act, such as Tamahiro Yasu and Kobaro Kashima,

00:00:47and others because they had simply chosen to ignore the whole situation, such as her younger sister, and they're pathetic.

00:00:53As for our protagonist, Tauka Memori, he recalled that they were on the bus for a school field trip.

00:01:00He also was aware that while Oyamada teased their class president, their classmates kept their heads down while the elites

00:01:06laughed away.

00:01:08Tauka also knew that if he made a noble attempt to intervene, he'd probably look pretty cool,

00:01:13but that would change nothing in the end since he was insignificant.

00:01:16Even though, our protagonist decided to give it a try.

00:01:20Sadly, Oyamada simply mocked him saying that an air man was staging a revolt.

00:01:26Nevertheless, at that moment, Takuto Kirihara, who seemed to be one of the so-called elites,

00:01:31asked Oyamada to give the novel back to the class president.

00:01:35Shugo tried to refuse at first since he wanted to tease Tauka more.

00:01:39Takuto then told him that he would ignore what he did to Tauka,

00:01:42but he had to return the novel to Sagu since their exchange annoyed him.

00:01:47After hearing that, other students such as Asagi Ikusaba began to praise Takuto.

00:01:52Curiously, Oyamada didn't keep teasing our protagonists.

00:01:55Heck, he even gave him some points for stepping in despite being air.

00:02:00Instead, he began to hit Yasu.

00:02:02It was at that moment that their teacher decided to intervene,

00:02:05and he did it because he didn't want Yasu to be driven to kill himself.

00:02:09After all, that would complicate things for everybody.

00:02:13Right after, you could hear a woman casting a spell,

00:02:16and at the next moment, the whole class, the bus not included,

00:02:19had been teleported to a strange place.

00:02:22Obviously, all the students were startled because they didn't recognize the place

00:02:26nor had any idea of what had just happened.

00:02:29At that moment, a silver-haired woman who wore a strange and revealing dress

00:02:33welcomed them saying they were their only hope of striking down evil.

00:02:37The woman introduced herself as a goddess called Vicious

00:02:40and explained that whenever the vast evil known as the Great Demon Empire appeared

00:02:45they summoned heroes from another world.

00:02:47200 years before that evil had been defeated, but it had resurfaced once more.

00:02:52Nevertheless, the students didn't seem to be pleased at all,

00:02:56they were still figuring out what had happened.

00:02:58In fact, some of them still believed the whole thing was a dream,

00:03:01while others wondered if they had died.

00:03:04At that moment, their teacher asked them to remain calm

00:03:07so they could hear the goddess' explanation.

00:03:10Of course, he was only trying to appeal to her because he found her hot.

00:03:14Afterward, Takuto asked the goddess what would happen if they refused to help them,

00:03:18and she replied that they would never be able to return to their world.

00:03:22The reverse-summoning ritual required a special element known as

00:03:26Demon King Essence, and there were only two methods for obtaining it.

00:03:30One was obtaining the heart of the Demon King, which was the source of the Demon King Essence.

00:03:36The other was to collect the Demon King Essence released upon the defeat of the Demon King

00:03:41in the crystal of a special necklace she showed to them.

00:03:44Right after, Oyemata stated the obvious,

00:03:46those conditions were very convenient for the goddess.

00:03:49Nevertheless, instead of getting angry,

00:03:51she kneeled before him and begged them to save their world.

00:03:55Sagu then said that they were ordinary humans,

00:03:57so they didn't have the power to help.

00:04:00However, the goddess assured them that they all possessed powers that other humans didn't.

00:04:05Meanwhile, Tauka was analyzing the whole situation

00:04:08because he had a feeling that something was off.

00:04:10Right after, the goddess ordered the soldiers who were in the hall to bring a huge wolf,

00:04:15and then she ordered them to unchain it,

00:04:17allowing it to kill a man who looked like a beggar.

00:04:19Immediately thereafter, the goddess used a fireball to kill the creature.

00:04:24Of course, the entire scene frightened the students, especially the female ones.

00:04:29Even Oyemata and Takudo looked concerned.

00:04:32As for the sisters,

00:04:33Hijiri said their best approach was to view that world as a different planet.

00:04:38Afterward, they could hear some bells pealing,

00:04:40and the goddess announced it was time to reveal the skills hidden within them.

00:04:44One by one, the students extended their hands towards a crystal ball

00:04:48that changed colors according to their talents.

00:04:50Of course, as the sacred book of tropes demands,

00:04:54Oyemata and Takudo ended up having the strongest powers.

00:04:57The latter was even labeled as an S-class, while the former was in a class.

00:05:02By the way, Sagu was also labeled as an S-class.

00:05:05Regarding the sisters,

00:05:07Hijiri was labeled as an S-class and her sister as in a class.

00:05:11Of course, those results excited the goddess

00:05:13because getting one's class in a single summoning was already very lucky.

00:05:18Eventually, it was Tauka's turn, and he ended up having a mediocre talent.

00:05:22The goddess didn't even bother to label him.

00:05:25In the end, he had to admit that he couldn't become someone special even in that world.

00:05:30Remember that sacred book I mentioned before?

00:05:32Even Yasu ended up impressing the goddess after being revealed he had the same talents as the dark hero,

00:05:38reputed to be the strongest of all.

00:05:41The goddess then taught them how to use their status windows to see their stats,

00:05:45and our protagonist quickly confirmed his were very low.

00:05:48His unique skill was called Inflict Status Ailments,

00:05:52and it allowed him to inflict some debuff such as paralysis, sleep, and poison.

00:05:57Afterward, the goddess called Tauka and informed everybody that he was E-class,

00:06:02the lowest rank of all the heroes there.

00:06:04Even their teacher was D-class.

00:06:06Furthermore, she added that in the past,

00:06:08the lowest ranked heroes had always dragged down the stronger ones.

00:06:12So after a certain point, it was decided they would start dealing with such heroes.

00:06:17However, since killing them had the potential of causing a ruckus,

00:06:21they decided to grant them a chance.

00:06:23He would be teleported to a set of ruins.

00:06:25If he survived the ruins and reached the surface,

00:06:28they would interfere no more granting him the right to live freely.

00:06:31Of course, those ruins were extremely dangerous.

00:06:35Tauka then tried to appeal to the goddess saying he had a unique skill,

00:06:39but she burst his bubble saying that in that world status ailment spells were generally worthless.

00:06:44Their success rate was low, and even when they succeeded,

00:06:48they barely affected low-ranked monsters.

00:06:50Not to mention their duration was far too short.

00:06:54Afterward, his classmates, Yasu included, mocked him for being a trash hero.

00:06:59Then, the goddess threw him a pathetic-looking bag and said it was his unique item.

00:07:03At that moment, Sagu tried to intervene, but the goddess knocked her out.

00:07:08Right after, Tauka tried to use his skill on the goddess to no avail,

00:07:12since she had a dispel bubble protective barrier active constantly.

00:07:17Finally, our protagonist began to cry,

00:07:19but he immediately realized it was time for him to show them the true self he had been suppressing that

00:07:24whole time.

00:07:25He then insulted the goddess and promised her he would get his revenge if he managed to survive.

00:07:30Our protagonist appeared in what seemed to be a cave,

00:07:34and he was scared after seeing tons of broken skulls on the floor.

00:07:38Almost immediately, he was attacked by a monster,

00:07:41but he managed to dodge and right after he ran away from it.

00:07:45Unfortunately, the monster chased after him while Tauka couldn't help but panic.

00:07:49However, he soon realized that rather than being scared, he was frustrated for being powerless.

00:07:54At that moment, he wished for power from the bottom of his heart and tried to paralyze the monster with

00:08:00his skill.

00:08:01Luckily, he managed to do it and immediately ran away as fast as he could

00:08:06while wondering if that minotaur was a low-ranked monster or if a miracle had occurred.

00:08:11Sadly, his luck didn't last and a weird-looking monster appeared in front of him.

00:08:16He began to cry again while saying he didn't want to die,

00:08:19and when the monster got very close he tried to paralyze it too.

00:08:23His skill worked again, and he began to think it hadn't been a miracle.

00:08:27He even wondered if perhaps his skill was something different from similar magic in that world.

00:08:32Afterward, he checked his stats and noticed he only had one MP left after having used his skill three times.

00:08:39He thought he was done since he wouldn't be able to use his skill again,

00:08:42but he wanted to double-check so he tried to poison the paralyzed monster in front of him,

00:08:47and was surprised after confirming he could still use his skill despite the lack of mana.

00:08:52Not only that, the success rate of his skill seemed to be pretty high,

00:08:56and the same went for its duration.

00:08:59However, another question arose.

00:09:01At that moment, he didn't have any mana left,

00:09:03so he wondered what would happen if he kept using his skill like that.

00:09:07Right after, the minotaur arrived.

00:09:09The duration of his skill was long, but it was not permanent.

00:09:13At that moment, he realized he simply was a background character.

00:09:17So no one was going to rescue him.

00:09:19Thus, he decided to stop relying on Andor expecting anything from others.

00:09:24He began to laugh like a madman while saying to himself that from that moment onwards he would conquer it

00:09:29all,

00:09:30and for that reason, he was going to kill to survive.

00:09:33From that moment onwards, his fight for survival would begin.

00:09:37He then faced the minotaur and got ready to use his skill one more time.

00:09:41Meanwhile, in a certain forest, a beautiful blonde female elf was taking a bath in a river.

00:09:47Touka tried to paralyze the minotaur, but it didn't work.

00:09:51However, right after he heard the system's voice which informed him that he couldn't apply the same skill to a

00:09:56target repeatedly.

00:09:58That gave him an idea, and he decided to use sleep instead of paralyze,

00:10:03which ended up working making the minotaur fall on the floor.

00:10:06Immediately thereafter, our protagonist successfully poisoned the monster

00:10:10and confirmed that although he couldn't spam the same skill, he could stack multiple effects on the same target.

00:10:16Of course, he didn't neglect the possibility of his skill having more constraints.

00:10:21At that moment, he began to feel tired and thought that consuming his natural MP should be getting to him.

00:10:27To make things worse, several monsters arrived, and he decided to hit them with everything he had.

00:10:33He was about to find out whether his MP gave out or they all succumbed to his status ailments first.

00:10:39Time passed and more monsters kept appearing, which had begun to drive our protagonist insane.

00:10:45However, he didn't give up and continued to use his unique skill time and time again.

00:10:50Of course, his stamina was running out since his energy was being converted to mana.

00:10:55In fact, he knew he was about to faint, which would be fatal because more monsters were arriving.

00:11:00He then laughed and kept spamming his unique skill, but eventually, he hit his mental limit.

00:11:06However, he didn't surrender and tried to cast his skill one more time.

00:11:10At that moment, the system informed him he had just leveled up.

00:11:14Oh boy, he had leveled up indeed.

00:11:17His current level was 258 and his mana had been completely restored,

00:11:22which allowed him to keep spamming his skill at will.

00:11:24He then began to wonder why he had leveled up and concluded it had been due to the two monsters

00:11:29he had initially poisoned.

00:11:31They should have probably died, which triggered the system.

00:11:35Tauka then smiled because that meant he could keep fighting and gaining levels, without worries.

00:11:40Moreover, besides his own level, his sub-skill Paralyze began to level up too,

00:11:45which he attributed to the fact that he had been spamming it for a while.

00:11:49Afterward, our protagonist kept fighting the monsters while wondering if obtaining new skills

00:11:54depended on leveling the one he already had.

00:11:57Of course, he didn't forget that.

00:11:59At that moment, his top priority was getting through that situation.

00:12:03It was then that he noticed he could designate multiple targets at once,

00:12:07which made things way easier for him.

00:12:09However, our protagonist didn't forget the goddess since he thought that she might be the only one

00:12:14his unique skill didn't work on.

00:12:16After all, except for her, his success rate had been 100%.

00:12:20He also noticed that his skill had a limited range of effect

00:12:24because there was no target mark over the monsters in the back.

00:12:27Right after, he poisoned all the monsters he had already paralyzed,

00:12:32which made his sub-skill Poison level up.

00:12:34It was then that the realization finally hit him.

00:12:38Those monsters had stopped being something to fear.

00:12:41The creatures in front of him had become experience points to farm.

00:12:44Nevertheless, the good news didn't stop there.

00:12:47After opening his status window, he also confirmed that his stat adjustments were multiplied by his

00:12:53level, which meant for example that his MP had gone from 33 up to 8,514.

00:12:59He was glad that his MP had gotten the biggest increase,

00:13:02but he was also aware that his MP was his lifeline at that moment.

00:13:07After all, it was the fuel powering his unique skill.

00:13:10So if he ran out of it, then he would be finished.

00:13:12Right after, another monster died and his level went from 258 to 277.

00:13:19Moreover, his MP went from 8,514 to 9 on 141.

00:13:25Afterward, more monsters died and his level kept increasing up to 395,

00:13:30and his MP went from 9 on 141 to 13 in 35.

00:13:35Nevertheless, he didn't rest but began to spam sleep on the remaining monsters instead,

00:13:40which increased that subskill's level from 1 to 2.

00:13:43More monsters died and his level became 501, but he knew that there was no guarantee,

00:13:49so he couldn't let his guard down.

00:13:51Nevertheless, when he was about to use his skill on the remaining monsters,

00:13:55they decided to run away.

00:13:57It seemed they were not that stupid and finally realized that the enemy in front of them was way

00:14:02too dangerous.

00:14:04Afterward, he began searching the corpses that were on the floor and found some things

00:14:08he could use, such as a cape and a dagger.

00:14:11He then offered a prayer to their souls and decided that if he wanted to escape from those

00:14:15ruins, he would have to find food and water.

00:14:18Some time later, he realized there was nothing edible, at least not something he would wish

00:14:23for, so his only option to avoid dying of starvation was to eat the monsters he had already

00:14:28killed.

00:14:29Unfortunately, that proved to be tough too because even the dagger was unable to cut

00:14:34their skin.

00:14:35In the end, he had to change his approach and decided to eat those parts that were soft enough

00:14:40to be cut, such as their eyeballs.

00:14:42Sadly, he soon confirmed that those parts were not edible which made him think that those

00:14:47ruins were utterly meant to destroy anyone thrown there.

00:14:50However, at that moment, he also noticed that the gem in the pathetic bag the goddess had given

00:14:56him had changed its color.

00:14:58Immediately thereafter, he infused his mana to it and discovered that it had gained another

00:15:02function.

00:15:03Before, it could only be used as a lamp, but now it could also teleport things from his

00:15:08old world, such as soda and dried beef.

00:15:11The downside was that he didn't know how it worked or if it would produce food again, but

00:15:16at least it still was his paltry unique item.

00:15:19Several days passed, and he kept killing monsters and leveling up.

00:15:22He was simply massacring the monsters in front of him.

00:15:26At that moment, his level was 665, but that didn't seem to satisfy him.

00:15:32He then recalled that when he was a kid, he had thought of killing his parents in order

00:15:36to survive.

00:15:37Nevertheless, his aunt and uncle rescued him and gave him normalcy.

00:15:41They gave him the warmth of a family, they taught him kindness, they empathized with the

00:15:46pain of others, and he thought he had managed to become like them.

00:15:50However, back to the present, he felt nothing.

00:15:52He didn't shake in terror over taking a life and his mind was unburdened by it, which had

00:15:57begun to scare him.

00:15:59Eventually, his level increased up to 957 and his mana up to 31581, and by that moment he

00:16:06knew he had to accept the new him.

00:16:09Time passed, and he kept killing monsters while exploring the ruins until he found a strange

00:16:14door that could be opened with magic.

00:16:16Luckily, he managed to open it by infusing its gem with mana and found two skeletons that

00:16:21were holding hands.

00:16:22It seemed that he hadn't been the only one to reach that far.

00:16:26He then searched their belongings and found a lot of gems which he took because he might

00:16:31need them once he reached the surface.

00:16:33That zone had several rooms and he searched all of them until he reached one that required

00:16:37more mana to be opened than the others.

00:16:39Inside, he found another skeleton, but that one had a letter that identified it as, Anglin,

00:16:45the Hero of Darkness.

00:16:47It seemed that the goddess Vicious had sent him there by force when he stopped being useful.

00:16:52Moreover, the letter contained his last will.

00:16:55He wanted to entrust whoever had the drive to escape those ruins with something he had

00:16:59desperately brought that far.

00:17:01In the end, the goddess and her kingdom were evil, but that didn't matter because Tauka also

00:17:06considered himself evil at that point.

00:17:09He then searched the hero's belongings and found a book titled, Forbidden Arts, Complete

00:17:14Works.

00:17:14It contained recipes for medicine and magic tools, so he decided to take it with him.

00:17:20He also found a scroll of forbidden magic, which could be his ace in the hole against the

00:17:24goddess.

00:17:25However, the thing that startled him was that inside the book there was a warning.

00:17:30Apparently, the thing that had killed everybody in that zone was called the Soul Eater.

00:17:35He kept exploring until he reached what seemed to be the exit, but he didn't let his guard

00:17:40down because he was sure the Soul Eater should be there, and if even the Hero of Darkness hadn't

00:17:45been able to kill it, it should be very dangerous.

00:17:48At that moment he was level 1 in 229 and his MP had increased up to 40,457.

00:17:55As for the rest of his stats, they all had increased up to 3d687.

00:18:00He took a deep breath and decided to take his chances.

00:18:04He kept walking and discovered a strange sculpture.

00:18:07It was only a female face, but on her forehead there was a gem, the gem he needed to open

00:18:12the

00:18:12final door.

00:18:14Sadly, when he tried to use his skill against the face, a laser beam shot against him and

00:18:19penetrated his hand.

00:18:20It had been so fast that he didn't have time to react.

00:18:23That complicated things for him, because he couldn't use his skill against her.

00:18:28He needed to get close, and above all, he needed some time to cast his skill in order to affect

00:18:33the sculpture.

00:18:34But its defense was way too tough for him.

00:18:37He then began to consider his options and even thought of improving his stats even more in

00:18:42order to break through.

00:18:43The problem was that no matter how powerful he became, it would be useless if he couldn't

00:18:48cast his skill.

00:18:49To make things worse, the sculpture began to move on its own to search for him, which made

00:18:54him realize that the Soul Eater was likely the reason for the zero survival rate among

00:18:59the disposed.

00:19:00Tauka had finally found the final boss of the Ruins of Disposal.

00:19:05Outside, the beautiful elf we had seen previously stood in front of the ruins, and wondered if they

00:19:10would be able to wait them out there.

00:19:12Back inside, the sculpture was floating leisurely, but Tauka assumed she should know that he was

00:19:18lurking nearby.

00:19:19Right after she spitted some liquid from her mouth and created several monsters that had

00:19:23the faces of those the Soul Eater had killed.

00:19:26She wanted to both make our protagonist fall into despair and pinpoint his location.

00:19:31Shortly after, the Soul Eater went through a wall to appear in front of Tauka, catching him

00:19:36by surprise.

00:19:37She then screamed and opened her eyes to frighten him.

00:19:41Afterward, Tauka paralyzed the monsters she had created.

00:19:44But he couldn't poison them because they resembled living persons and he didn't want to cross

00:19:49that line.

00:19:50Unfortunately, the Soul Eater was amused by his reaction and created more of those creatures

00:19:55to crush his mind.

00:19:57Tauka was crying.

00:19:58He kept begging the creatures to go away, but they kept getting closer.

00:20:01His despair was reaching its peak, while the same went for the Soul Eater's ecstasy.

00:20:06However, at that precise moment, our protagonist revealed his true colors and paralyzed the

00:20:12sculpture.

00:20:12The Soul Eater couldn't believe what had just happened and Tauka, while laughing as a maniac,

00:20:18explained that he had waited for her ecstasy to reach its peak because he knew she would

00:20:22lower her guard at that moment.

00:20:24In the end, her arrogance was going to be her doom.

00:20:27His sub-skill Paralyze increased to level 3, while he admitted that for years he had tried

00:20:33to be harmless, to be normal, to be kind, to the point of even deceiving and fooling

00:20:37himself.

00:20:38However, that was not his true nature.

00:20:41He then poisoned all the creatures the Soul Eater had created while mocking the final boss

00:20:46because a weak-ass human who had been sent there for disposal had managed to kill her.

00:20:50By the way, he also confirmed that if the targets tried and forced themselves to move

00:20:55while paralyzed, it caused additional damage.

00:20:58He then poisoned the Soul Eater, which increased that sub-skill up to level 3.

00:21:03As for the grand finale, he put all the creatures to sleep, which also increased that sub-skill

00:21:09up to 3.

00:21:10The next moment, the final boss released all the souls she had consumed, and those people

00:21:15congratulated our protagonist for surviving.

00:21:18They knew all the things he had done inside the ruins, but they yet praised him.

00:21:22Of course, the Hero of Darkness also appeared, and he asked Tauka to kill the goddess, a request

00:21:28our protagonist accepted because he also had his own reasons for wanting her dead.

00:21:32A big wolf, very similar to the one the goddess had used to kill that beggar previously, was

00:21:38running through a forest.

00:21:39It seemed the wolf was running away from something, and shortly after we found out that something

00:21:44was Oyamata, who was getting desperate because killing the monster was taking too long.

00:21:49In another part of that forest, Takuto killed another monster with his skill and reached

00:21:54level 18.

00:21:55It seemed that the entire class was training because Yasu was also there.

00:21:59He was laughing like a madman after using his dark powers to kill a monster.

00:22:04However, not everybody was enjoying that training.

00:22:08Kabato was petrified in front of a monster, and she knew she wouldn't be able to kill it.

00:22:13Luckily, Asagi appeared as support, although she made the other clear that she disliked being

00:22:18called by her surname.

00:22:19She even threatened her with turning her into an outcast if she did that on purpose.

00:22:24Asagi then told her that she had predicted their class was going to fall because it was

00:22:29filled with selfish lot and troublesome folks.

00:22:31Not to mention that the ranks had created a new hierarchy.

00:22:35Ikusaba was a B rank, by the way.

00:22:37She told Kabato that she was pretty sure that factions would become even more clear from that

00:22:42moment onwards.

00:22:43Asagi then asked the other if she would join their faction when the time came.

00:22:48After all, Kabato was a D rank so she couldn't join the Kirihara group.

00:22:52Plus, the Takau sisters operated on their own.

00:22:55Not to mention that Asagi was sure Ayaka would die.

00:22:59In the end, Kabato should be aware of her own position within the class.

00:23:03Asagi then began to harass Kabato while telling her that when they took down the Great Demon Empire

00:23:08and went back home, to avoid losing her place in the class, she could use her body to compensate

00:23:14for her lack of power.

00:23:16Afterward, Asagi called other girls who brought a weird-looking monster in front of them.

00:23:20The newcomers were restraining the creature with some chains and the harasser explained

00:23:25that that was the test the goddess had given them.

00:23:28A test that Kabato hadn't cleared because of her kind nature.

00:23:31That was why she had decided to help her because her group should be strong together

00:23:35unless Kabato wanted to be disposed like our protagonist.

00:23:39Those words frightened Kabato even more, to the point that she finally used her sword

00:23:44to kill the restrained monster in front of her.

00:23:47Asagi was pleased with that development since there was one less loose end,

00:23:50and she immediately declared that from that moment onwards Kabato belonged to them.

00:23:55What the harasser didn't know was that at that moment,

00:23:58Kabato was crying while remembering Tauka and how kind he was.

00:24:02It was obvious that she felt guilty for being unable to help him.

00:24:06Meanwhile, Sagu woke up in a room and after feeling a pain in her belly,

00:24:10she remembered the moment when the goddess had knocked her out,

00:24:13which meant he also recalled what had happened to our protagonist.

00:24:17She then went to see the goddess who told her that what had happened to him had been very sad.

00:24:22She even began to cry and apologized while saying that the ritual was a strict policy of their kingdom.

00:24:27Hey, someone, please give her a razzie.

00:24:30My goodness she is really dreadful at acting.

00:24:33Right after, the goddess told her that there was no time to be sad because the ritual would still continue.

00:24:39That surprised Ayaka and the goddess took that chance to explain that during the few days that she had been

00:24:44sleeping peacefully,

00:24:46the rest of the class had been tested to see if they could kill the demons.

00:24:50Unfortunately, some couldn't even put their blades to the demons and thus were disqualified,

00:24:55and those who couldn't fulfill their duty as a hero should be asked to leave.

00:24:59The good thing was that Sagu was not moved by her bad acting and directly asked the goddess if they

00:25:05were getting rid of the weak.

00:25:06Once the goddess confirmed it, Ayaka made clear that she didn't agree with her methods.

00:25:11Of course, the goddess laughed at her and said that people had different opinions.

00:25:15But she as a goddess was very forgiving.

00:25:18Tell that to Tauka.

00:25:19Therefore, she could still accept a slightly different way of thinking.

00:25:23However, those without value should still be discarded.

00:25:27Sagu then asked her if S-rank heroes had high value, and the other quickly confirmed it.

00:25:32Ayaka then said that she would do her job as a S-rank, covering for those who couldn't pass the

00:25:37test,

00:25:38and asked her if she could cancel their banishment.

00:25:41Bad idea.

00:25:42You cannot put yourself in a bad position when negotiating with a cruel goddess.

00:25:46The goddess was amused by the courageous proposal and praised Sagu for behaving like an S-rank.

00:25:52Then, she offered to make peace by shaking hands while adding that even though it had been to calm her

00:25:57down

00:25:57in her extremely catatonic and delirious state,

00:26:00she had indeed punched her in the gut.

00:26:03Ayaka accepted the offer and sold her soul to the devil.

00:26:06Back with the beautiful blonde elf.

00:26:08She was wearing a cape with a hood while running through the forest.

00:26:12She was escaping from her pursuers, but she had been unable to lose them.

00:26:16After all, one of them, the god-sword maggots Pladen had a skill that allowed them to track her.

00:26:22Although they didn't even need to rely on that skill, the woman really sucked at hiding.

00:26:27The rest of the pursuers were just toying with her.

00:26:30Their group was called White Walker, and even though they could capture her at any time,

00:26:35they first wanted to let her know that to run away from or resist them was utterly pointless and futile.

00:26:41Back with our protagonist.

00:26:42He had just left the ruins, and the first thing he did afterward was to check his stats.

00:26:47His current level was 1,789, his MP was 59,037, and the rest of his stats had increased up

00:26:55to 5,367.

00:26:57In short, the overpowered tag had been acquired.

00:27:00He also noticed that after reaching level 3, he could set paralyze to optional release or partial release on the

00:27:07head.

00:27:07As for poison, after reaching level 3, he could also set it to optional release, and he could even set

00:27:14it as being non-lethal.

00:27:15Of course, both of them could still target multiple enemies at once.

00:27:20Tauka then decided to test those new features on nearby demons to get a proper grasp of them.

00:27:25Besides, he also needed a sword, which could also serve as a shield and could also handle the vanguard.

00:27:31After a while walking through the forest, he found some slimes.

00:27:35Curiously, four of them were bullying a small one that was trying its best to defend itself.

00:27:41Right after, Mamori paralyzed the bullies and poisoned them.

00:27:44He then confirmed that after inflicting those debuffs he could tweak them at will since every target had its own

00:27:50status window to adjust.

00:27:52He then released the debuffs and the bullies immediately ran away leaving the small slime alone.

00:27:57Tauka then apologized to the slime for being late and praised it for having to courage to face the bullies.

00:28:04He then asked it to refrain from attacking him before releasing it.

00:28:08Of course, the slime didn't attack him.

00:28:10But when Mamori left it followed him.

00:28:12Our protagonist noticed it and realized that it was an outcast just like him.

00:28:17Back with the beautiful elf, she knew her pursuers were quite far away, but their presence still remained,

00:28:22which meant they were just waiting until she got exhausted.

00:28:25That allowed her to understand their methods.

00:28:28Back with our protagonist, he had allowed the slime to go inside his coat,

00:28:33which had ended up being useful because it could see behind him.

00:28:36By the way, for a strange reason, he was able to communicate with the slime.

00:28:40He then took a break to rest and read the book until he found some information about experiments in demon

00:28:46strengthening.

00:28:47He even found how to make a medicine to strengthen a slime.

00:28:51Afterward, Tauka told the slime that he was going to do the run-of-the-mill vengeance act,

00:28:55so it would be tagging along with his selfish desires.

00:28:58However, he gave it the chance to withdraw, a chance that was immediately refused but the slime.

00:29:04Right after, he named the creature Pigimaru.

00:29:07Back with the beautiful elf, she was still running away from the white walker.

00:29:11But the group had gotten closer, so she decided to draw her sword, cast some enchantments on her, and face

00:29:17them.

00:29:18Nevertheless, the group met with our protagonist first who again pretended to be a weak and scared young boy lost

00:29:24in the woods.

00:29:25His acting was way better than the goddess, though.

00:29:28Obviously, those bullies didn't miss the chance to mock him before demanding he give them all his valuables.

00:29:34They didn't even hide their intention to kill him, since one of them wanted to test the sharpness of his

00:29:39new weapon on a living person.

00:29:41The group underestimated Tauka to the point of starting to discuss their future evil deeds as if he was not

00:29:47there.

00:29:48Of course, capturing the female elf was within their priorities.

00:29:52However, their leader reminded the others that they would have to restrain themselves from abusing her because capturing her was

00:29:58a commission.

00:29:59Tauka tried to escape while the others were talking, but was quickly discovered by the one who wanted to test

00:30:04his new sword on him.

00:30:06Our protagonist begged for his life, but the other didn't listen and attacked him.

00:30:11Tauka then paralyzed him and confirmed that his unique skill worked on humans as well, and that the goddess had

00:30:17been a special case.

00:30:18In addition, Memori confirmed another thing.

00:30:21He didn't have any issues with killing humans if they were scum.

00:30:25Moreover, the slime supported him on that.

00:30:27Yeah, yeah, you are evil, we get it.

00:30:30This protagonist is definitely set to walk the path of the edgelord.

00:30:34After killing them, Tauka searched their belongings and detected the presence of the elf.

00:30:39As for her, she suddenly felt as if the others had hidden their presence and was scared,

00:30:44especially because she also noticed someone else who seemed to be uncanny.

00:30:49Sadly, for her, Memori used the slime as bait, and she fell for it allowing him to paralyze her after

00:30:55she attacked it.

00:30:55He then told her that he had sensed her intent to attack, but her murderous intent was laced with impurities.

00:31:02Because of that, he had decided to talk with her, but had still immobilized her as an insurance.

00:31:07He then used the partial release to allow her to talk and told her he wanted her to give him

00:31:12information on everything around there.

00:31:15Nevertheless, she wanted to confirm something before answering his questions.

00:31:19She wanted to know what had happened with the four members of White Walker.

00:31:23He told her he had killed them by himself and reaffirmed the fact that he was alone because he didn't

00:31:28want to introduce his partner to her.

00:31:31Moreover, he also told her that he found it best that they didn't pry into each other too deep.

00:31:36After all, he barely trusted her.

00:31:38She agreed and began to answer his questions.

00:31:41Thanks to that, he discovered that place was an alien, but Urza Kingdom's southern forest.

00:31:47Afterward, he showed her the scroll he had found inside the ruins and asked her if she could read it.

00:31:52The female elf told him that she thought it was an ancient script, a special one, but unfortunately, she couldn't

00:31:58read it.

00:31:59However, she knew someone who might know that scroll.

00:32:02There was someone who went by the name of Forbidden Witch.

00:32:05The elf had heard that she had been forced to leave the land where she lived because of her vast

00:32:10knowledge of the forbidden things in that world.

00:32:12So, if he wanted to meet with her, he would have to go to the Golden Demon Zone, a dangerous

00:32:17zone in the middle of that continent.

00:32:20He admitted to himself that she was too kind, to the point of resembling his aunt, and then told her

00:32:25she would be able to move in a few minutes, and that he would pray for her safety.

00:32:29Right after, he left, leaving her paralyzed and defenseless.

00:32:33Is that how you repay kindness?

00:32:35The edgelord vibes are strong on this one.

00:32:39Afterward, it was revealed that the female elf, whose name was Seals Ashrane, had been a holy knight of a

00:32:44fallen kingdom and a former princess of a high elven nation.

00:32:48Outside of the city of Millies, the female guard questions Tauka as if she had let GF Kennedy's assassin before

00:32:54him.

00:32:55She finds it suspicious that he's a mercenary without a weapon.

00:32:58She asks about his weapons of choice and where it is at.

00:33:01She assumes he's here to raid the hidden ruins in search of fortune.

00:33:05He acts like a total NPC, claiming he didn't know Millies was such a buzzing city.

00:33:09The guard corrects him and mentions the city is called Millies, not Mills.

00:33:14She hates dealing with low-level crumbs from the villages.

00:33:17Plus, the lord asked them to let mercenaries in the city.

00:33:20And so, the guards let him inside the city, thinking he's a matrix slave.

00:33:25He finds it vague that there were no body and luggage searches before entering the city.

00:33:29He visits an inn where the receptionist, let's just say, isn't the most friendly.

00:33:33He claims that a room for one night will be 2,000 macas.

00:33:37Tauka mentions that he's on a long trip, and all of his clothes are dirty.

00:33:41He wants to find a laundromat that can help him clean his clothes and a shop to buy new one.

00:33:46Immediately, the receptionist's attitude changes like a girl's when she finds out what color your Bugatti is.

00:33:52Before going to the back, he asks him to state his name.

00:33:55Naturally, Tauka hides his name behind an alias Hattie Skull.

00:33:58Later after settling in his room, he leaves his slime Pigamaru to guard the room and goes outside.

00:34:04In the streets, Tauka observes that the locals show no signs of suspicion towards the tourists.

00:34:09He concludes that they live with peaceful eyes.

00:34:12The town is exactly what you would hope for in a western fantasy land.

00:34:16Multiple shops are selling almost everything from clothes to magical artifacts.

00:34:20He finishes the little exploration after observing the Adventures Guild.

00:34:24Tauka eats his dinner in the hall, where a bunch of NPC wastes their life drinking like a fool.

00:34:29He enjoys the sketchy-looking food, but his motives are to gather information.

00:34:33The banquet gets louder as the spirits get stronger.

00:34:36They talk about the continent's army full of knights to fight the demon.

00:34:40However, they don't know which one of them is the strongest.

00:34:43One of the men claims that the Mad King Emperor Falkendatzin's Holy Knights might be one of the strongest.

00:34:48It is rumored that they have never lost a battle.

00:34:50And then another one reminds them about the Silver Knights in the Magnar Kingdom to the north.

00:34:55They also have the Magic Knights in their Urza Kingdom.

00:34:58Still, the man claims that the strongest knights are the Black Dragon Knights.

00:35:02They single-handedly burn down the holy city of Nia.

00:35:06Rumors suggest that only five Black Dragon Knights are equivalent to an entire nation's army.

00:35:11Tauka finds enough information for one day to head back home.

00:35:14He feeds Pigamaru and sits down to relax.

00:35:17His first priority is to find the witch who can read the forbidden spells

00:35:21and collect ingredients for Pigamaru's strengthening agency.

00:35:24He discovers that the agent needs a giant skeleton bone to complete the recipe,

00:35:29forcing him to take part in the rune's search.

00:35:31The following day, the Marquis of Land gathers mercenaries in one place

00:35:35to inform them about a new floor discovery.

00:35:37He orders them to find the Dragon's Eyes treasure.

00:35:40The noble family will buy the car from them in exchange for 300 gold lions.

00:35:44The rest of the treasure will also have a hefty price,

00:35:47while the mercenaries can keep the demon drops.

00:35:50As the mercenaries line up from documentation,

00:35:53Tauka sees the girl from the forest being bullied by a self-proclaimed douchebag.

00:35:57He claims to have the ability to know beauty without seeing anything.

00:36:01Her voice gives him the clues that she is the former Princess Knight of the Kingdom.

00:36:05She dismisses his accusation as nothing but child's play.

00:36:08Despite this, the grandma, fledgling with no fashion sense,

00:36:11continues to claim that she is the high elf dubbed Princess Ceres Ashrane.

00:36:16He can easily prove this theory by removing her veil since elves are famous for their pointy ears.

00:36:21He confidently removes her cover and declares himself the person who found Ceres.

00:36:26Unfortunately, she doesn't have pointy ears like elves, rendering his claims invalid.

00:36:31She states her name is Mist Barkas, not Ceres.

00:36:34After she leaves, the man is so pissed off that he wants to kill her.

00:36:38Before entering the ruins, Tauka intends to stock up on necessary supplies.

00:36:43Unexpectedly, she stops him in his tracks to thank him for his previous help.

00:36:46He warns him that the man from before was red and full of hatred.

00:36:50However, Mist is not worried about him.

00:36:53She likes to keep a bratty attitude to be disliked by people.

00:36:56This saves her a lot of trouble in dealing with unnecessary NPCs.

00:37:00As their conversation continues, Tauka asks her for guidance in stocking up supplies for the exploration.

00:37:06He will also pay her for the troubles.

00:37:08She agrees to his proposal because of her urgent need for finances.

00:37:12They spend the whole evening stocking up on weapons and portions for the journey.

00:37:16Tauka uses his alias instead of his real name which tells him that she is sensitive to lies.

00:37:21He makes it clear that both their real names are unnecessary because of their personal complications.

00:37:26At the end, he pays her three silver coins for her troubles.

00:37:30Shocking Mist.

00:37:31She can't believe that he would pay her this much for a low-paying job.

00:37:35Suddenly, she collapses due to immense fatigue.

00:37:38Tauka advises her to rest at the inn, but she runs away in shyness.

00:37:42Nonetheless, he goes to the ruin area to find the Skeleton King.

00:37:45Inside, the low-level mercenaries run for their lives from a low-level demon.

00:37:50Tauka casts Paralyze and Poison on it and ends things with a short sword.

00:37:54He wanted to check the thickness of the demon.

00:37:56When he heads down, the other mercenary calls for backup only to find dead bodies.

00:38:01Tauka realizes that these demons are very low on XP, making it an insufficient way of leveling up.

00:38:07During his journey, he finds the man from before talking with a couple of demons.

00:38:11He wants to team up with them and take out Mist.

00:38:14He also allows them to have as much fun as possible before giving her death.

00:38:18Afterward, he plans to make her demon food to give him the cold shoulder.

00:38:21At that moment, he comes out of the shadows, alerting the three of them.

00:38:25They ask if he overheard their entire conversation.

00:38:28Without hearing his answer, they conclude that killing him is the best choice.

00:38:32After a few seconds, Tauka raises his left hand, asking them to stop.

00:38:36He admits that he was in the wrong for overhearing their conversation.

00:38:40The men love the fact that he is begging for his life.

00:38:43However, people see what they grow as they attack.

00:38:46Tauka casts Paralyze on the three of them.

00:38:48He is disgusted with them in a good way.

00:38:50Maybe it is because it reminds him of his stepfather back from Earth.

00:38:54On that note, he casts Poison to kill them.

00:38:57The men say that he will pay for what he's done, making him laugh.

00:39:00Tauka makes him realize that they are going to become demon food before leaving.

00:39:04Eventually, he reaches the door to the new floor.

00:39:07However, Tauka decides to rest up before continuing the journey.

00:39:11Pigimaru guards him for three hours straight, allowing him to sleep.

00:39:15Afterward, Tauka stretches his muscles and leaves the area.

00:39:18He finds a bunch of mercenaries preparing to head back to the surface.

00:39:22The saber-toothed tigers find it strange that demon corpses appear left and right without any wounds.

00:39:28Furthermore, they have pale skin like a vampire sucked on their blood.

00:39:31The leader has some reservations regarding the whole story.

00:39:35He will retreat for the time being to ensure his people's safety.

00:39:38He offers to take Tauka with him.

00:39:40However, he politely refuses the offer.

00:39:42The leader tells him to pass along the message to the other mercenaries as well.

00:39:46This is the best thing that can ever happen to him, as Tauka will have less of an audience.

00:39:51He opens the giant door leading to the new layer of the ruins only to find an empty room.

00:39:56He walks over to the broken table to find the Dragon Eyes cup treasure.

00:40:00Any fan of an MMORPG would know that picking up the treasure would activate the statue giving him the creepy

00:40:05look.

00:40:06He casts poison on the statue before picking it up, which is straight up cheating.

00:40:10He picks up the cup, wondering what's so special about the highlight of the event.

00:40:14At the same time, Mist enters the room.

00:40:17She acknowledges that resting a bit and fighting demons along the way was a mistake.

00:40:21This allowed him to enter the room before her.

00:40:23Tauka offers to give her the cup for free.

00:40:26He hands her over to clarify his intentions.

00:40:28Shocking Mist.

00:40:29She can't understand how Tauka can just give up 300 gold coins.

00:40:33He opens a secret passageway leading downstairs and reveals that what he wants is down there.

00:40:38He is so gullible and naive to give her the cup.

00:40:41He is also a very kind person at heart.

00:40:43However, she knows that he's bluntly lying.

00:40:46Despite being broke, she wants to pay him back using her sword.

00:40:50Mist offers to become her escort because taking things for free is beyond her.

00:40:54Her sense of obligation is so apparent that it forces Tauka to accept her offer.

00:40:59However, he puts on condition that they work together.

00:41:01They can't dig deep into their personal affairs, focusing on keeping things professional.

00:41:06He also clarifies that they won't be returning in one day.

00:41:09And so, he will not be responsible if she wants to head back.

00:41:13After venturing deep into the unknown floor, they encounter a giant demon.

00:41:17Mist utilizes her swordplay to slice and dice the monster into pieces, earning his praise.

00:41:23At this point, he wants to know the difference between golden-eyed demons and normal demons.

00:41:28She reveals that golden demons have superior experience to others.

00:41:32This is the reason heroes from another world hunt them down to level up quickly.

00:41:36Plus, they can't earn X by killing other living creatures like humans.

00:41:39Tauka realizes that he didn't earn X points when the three douchebags were killed.

00:41:44Mist continues narrating a legend according to which the demon emperor releases an element which turns normal demons into golden

00:41:51-eyed.

00:41:51The gold term in the golden hero and the golden-eyed demon is a little ominous.

00:41:56After some time, Tauka orders her to rest up.

00:41:58He casts a sleeping spell on Mist and tells Piggy Maru to keep a close eye on her.

00:42:03After a long sleep under Hattie's sleep spell, Mist wakes up, recasting the disguise spell on her body.

00:42:10She is shocked to realize that her body fell asleep without her consent.

00:42:14Fearful, she wonders if their contract will still be in effect after such a big mess up.

00:42:19It takes a few seconds for Mist to get lucid.

00:42:22Afterward, Piggy Maru starts talking to her in slime language and doesn't ask why.

00:42:27She asks what he wants like it's going to respond in human language.

00:42:30This useless exchange disturbs Hattie's dream in which he was probably going redo of healer on the goddess.

00:42:37He asks the slime about his problems.

00:42:40At that moment, Mist feels guilty for waking him up.

00:42:43However, no man ever blames a woman for stupid shit cause they are built this way.

00:42:48They enter the room but Hattie notices that the skeleton king is on a bathroom break.

00:42:53Seconds later, the ground begins to tremble.

00:42:56He confirms if she is also hearing the sound.

00:43:00Once she affirms his suspicion, Hattie orders her to step back.

00:43:04At that very moment, the skeleton king slams the wall and makes a grand entrance.

00:43:11Mist never expected that he had beef with a freaking skeleton king.

00:43:15In the meantime, Hattie realizes that the king's strength is incomparable to the other demons in the ruins.

00:43:21Mist diverts his attention towards the bone on its chin.

00:43:24She believes that is the demon's weak spot.

00:43:27According to her, your run-in-the-mill mercenary can't fight this demon.

00:43:31Not even the saber-tooth would challenge it.

00:43:34However, her skills are not that of an ordinary mercenary.

00:43:37She wants to use a skill, relying on physical change.

00:43:41She will be in his debt if he keeps quiet about it.

00:43:44Honestly, Hattie doesn't really want to go through so much trouble.

00:43:48And so, he just casts Paralyze and Poison to deal with it.

00:43:51All she can do is watch with her mouth wide open.

00:43:55Sometime later, the king dies off to the effect of poison.

00:43:58He collects the bone required for the strengthening agent, calling it a day.

00:44:02But Pigimaru diverts his attention towards the back of the room.

00:44:06Unexpectedly, he finds a strange egg covered in a cloth.

00:44:10Pigimaru tells him to take the egg to the surface.

00:44:12On the other hand, the other heroes grind to level up.

00:44:16Kirihara the S-class hero rescues the NPCs from danger and boasts about reaching level 24.

00:44:22Back in Millie's, Mist delivers the cup of the dragon's eye to the noble.

00:44:26This catches the eyes of everyone in the area, allowing Hattie to escape.

00:44:31However, Mist gets away from the mob and rushes to his side.

00:44:34She and her pride forces her to keep thanking him for the cup.

00:44:38Hattie cuts to the chase, saying they need to discuss some details in his room

00:44:42at 8 sharp.

00:44:43Hattie takes the extra time to perfect the recipe of the strengthening agent from the

00:44:48previous Dark Heroes journal.

00:44:50Right on 8, Mist knocks on his door.

00:44:52He double-checks his watch and is impressed by her punctuation.

00:44:56He wants her to become his escort for the rest of the journey.

00:44:59Sure, the reward money is looking great right now.

00:45:02But Hattie claims 300 gold coins will be used up in her travels.

00:45:06He hates mentioning the cup in a roundabout way.

00:45:09However, Mist isn't giving him much ground to play in.

00:45:13He lays a map on the bed, revealing his next goal is to meet with the witch she told him

00:45:17about in the Golden Demon Zone.

00:45:19The area is full of demons who tend to attack in groups.

00:45:23Having a fighter on his side will make it easy to navigate the area.

00:45:27At first, he was going to hire a knight.

00:45:29However, Mist is the best choice at the moment.

00:45:32She reveals that her destination is the Genato Principality located in the northwest of the

00:45:37Demon Zone.

00:45:38She knows crossing the Golden Demon Zone is the best way to reach her destination.

00:45:43Still, she is hesitant about accepting the job.

00:45:46He knows how to push a human's button, giving her some space to answer later.

00:45:51She still has other routes to Genato, and so there is no haste.

00:45:54At this point, Hattie casually calls her Ceres, making her respond to him.

00:46:00Without even realizing it, she mistakenly reveals her identity in a flash.

00:46:04He mentions that her identity was revealed when she was asleep.

00:46:08He realizes that Ceres was hesitant to travel with him, fearing that her identity would be

00:46:13revealed.

00:46:14She explains that her disguise is cast with spirit magic.

00:46:17They feed on her desire to sleep, meaning she returns to normal once sleep hits.

00:46:22Before meeting up with him, she was being pursued by four white walkers who saw her identity.

00:46:28But now that they have been killed her journey has become easier.

00:46:31At this point, Hattie assumes that Mist is willing to trust him.

00:46:35She affirms his thoughts, claiming that he's a trustworthy man.

00:46:39He reveals his true name Tauka, and in exchange for keeping her name a secret, he hopes that Mist

00:46:45would do the same.

00:46:46After formally introducing themselves, Mist who now will be called Ceres agrees to become his

00:46:52escort.

00:46:53He gives her one blue stone obtained from the ruins from before.

00:46:56Upon taking a closer look, she nearly drops the stone from shock.

00:47:01Tauka, since Hattie is no longer needed, asks about her odd reaction.

00:47:05She reveals that the stone is called Blue Dragon Stone.

00:47:08It is said to be a stone created very rarely by the legendary Blue-Eyed Dragon.

00:47:13He might not believe it, but this stone is illegal to sell on the open market.

00:47:17She returns the stone, saying it's too precious.

00:47:20Tauka is tired of her good nature.

00:47:23He throws the stone back at her, saying she should keep it otherwise throw it away.

00:47:27As the conversation approaches its end, Tauka reminds her to call him by Hattie when in

00:47:32public.

00:47:33He will honor her privacy and use Mist in public as well.

00:47:37Ceres claims there are personal matters they have not discussed.

00:47:41However, he didn't call her to his room for that.

00:47:43He won't pry into her past, keeping the silver lining between them.

00:47:47Late at night, Ceres cleans herself in your usual broky adventure way, giving us a treat.

00:47:53She thinks that not cleaning before meeting Tauka was a mistake.

00:47:57Nonetheless, she wants to trust him like a princess.

00:48:00At breakfast, a couple of low-level nobody's gossip about her securing a man already.

00:48:05Rumors have spread about her leaving his room at night, causing an uproar.

00:48:09However, Tauka tells her to ignore their shit and enjoy the food.

00:48:13He changes the topic by asking her about forbidden spells.

00:48:17By now, Tauka has learned that Ceres places her hand on her chest before talking.

00:48:22She reveals that forbidden spells are basically a form of ancient spells.

00:48:26They were banned by the goddess but the reason for it is unknown.

00:48:30He realizes that the filthy yet sexy goddess must have banned them because it can cause damage

00:48:35to her body.

00:48:36Unfortunately, she doesn't know any useful information about their origins.

00:48:40Yet, Tauka thanks her for revealing this much.

00:48:43She is glad to be of service, presenting herself as an oddball.

00:48:47He asks why the formal talk even when they have become friends.

00:48:51Unexpectedly, she noticed that this was the first time Tauka has thanked her for something

00:48:55which made her excited.

00:48:57After breakfast, she tells him about the noble's invitation to a hospitality event.

00:49:02She promises to return by 1pm.

00:49:04He agrees to meet her outside the inn in the afternoon.

00:49:07In the meantime, he ventures deep into the forest to use that strengthening agent on Piggy Maru.

00:49:13On the other hand, the noble hosts a grand party to celebrate the treasure retrieval.

00:49:18To check for its authenticity, he has called a skilled magician with expertise in breaking

00:49:23illusions.

00:49:24Ceres realizes that her true identity might be in jeopardy.

00:49:28Just as they promised, he waits for her outside the inn at the given time.

00:49:32Meanwhile, Ayaka reports everything that happened in the ruins with the skeletons and Kirihara.

00:49:38The goddess assures that the injured will be healed with a simple spell.

00:49:41However, she must join Kirihara's group which is full of S-rankers.

00:49:46However, Ayaka can't join a person who puts his comrades in danger.

00:49:50She blatantly refuses to join his party.

00:49:53The goddess states that her selfishness is driving everyone down.

00:49:56The bitch acts like the fault lies on her part as a leader.

00:50:00But still, Ayaka isn't fooled by her act and refuses to comply.

00:50:04Moving on from that, the goddess assures her of the task of training the NPC on how to fight.

00:50:10They previously agreed that Ayaka would fight on everyone's behalf.

00:50:14However, she claims that the king has ordered her to kill the useless students.

00:50:18At this point, Ayaka knows that talking further would create more beef.

00:50:22And so, she agrees to her request and leaves.

00:50:26Back in Millie's, he wonders if his abilities to judge a character have dulled over the years.

00:50:31He asks Piggy Maru to make a sound twice if he thinks that Sira's ran away with the stone

00:50:36or make a sound if something bad happened.

00:50:38He squeaks a single time, making Tauka think that he and his slime are both good-natured people.

00:50:44On his way to the noble's estate, he overhears some nobodies talking about the elf princess appearing in town.

00:50:50They heard that she ran into the dark forest by herself.

00:50:54They intend to hunt her down for glory.

00:50:56But one of the men says it is not their time to shine.

00:51:00At the same time, five black dragon knights appear in the sky.

00:51:04The black knights quickly find her running in the forest with their dragon's eye.

00:51:08Sira's draws her sword and uses whatever wind spirits are nearby to slice its wings.

00:51:14Unfortunately, she can't use her disguise spell because the light spirits are confused because of the illusion-breaking guy.

00:51:20Defeating low-level black knights takes a lot out of her, making her wonder what the higher-ups will be

00:51:25like.

00:51:26At that moment, an arrow comes flying from her blind spot.

00:51:30Sira's manages to perch it, noticing that it is a decoy.

00:51:34She attacks the knight in front of her which seems to be Gizun, the second in command under Master Oban.

00:51:40Unfortunately, she can't use spirit regalia to its full strength, making it impossible to fight.

00:51:46Gizun reveals that some people want her dead which is why capturing her alive is off the menu.

00:51:51He intends to have some fun with her body before calling Ezreal.

00:51:55However, Tauka arrives on the scene in the nick of time to paralyze his butt.

00:51:59He then casts non-lethal poison on him for future integrations.

00:52:04Before talking with Sira's, he puts him to sleep to ensure no third party interferes.

00:52:09She wants him to take back the stone and null their contract, as the knights will follow him as well.

00:52:14However, Tauka doesn't want to let her go, so he gives them a bag full of blue stones.

00:52:19At the end, he tells her to get naked ASAP, leaving her shocked.

00:52:24Honestly, nobody likes cliffhangers, but this was a good one.

00:52:27Despite having the longest ears amongst all the races, Sira still doubts whether or not Tauka told her to strip.

00:52:34She gives him a, what the fudge you mean look, forcing him to clarify his actions.

00:52:39He claims that the men in Millie's were able to recognize her from the same attire she used back in

00:52:45the Holy Kingdom.

00:52:46He apologizes for the confusion, explaining that she needs to strip down and change her clothes.

00:52:51She agrees that the elf pride inside her was deeply hurt upon hearing it.

00:52:55But that doesn't matter anymore.

00:52:57Suddenly, she asks if they are agreeing to continue the contract between them from before.

00:53:03Tauka gives her a proposal of a lifetime.

00:53:05He wants to negotiate with the forbidden witch to hide Sira's from the world.

00:53:09By now, it is a well-known fact that nobody, nobody can locate the witch.

00:53:14Furthermore, he still needs to learn about the secrets behind the ancient spell.

00:53:18For that, entering the golden zone is kind of necessary.

00:53:22And so, continuing their contract is a no-brainer move.

00:53:26Yet, Sira's wants to know about his motives for helping her this far.

00:53:30Unexpectedly, he sees her aunt in Sira's.

00:53:33Naturally, their looks and way of speaking are different.

00:53:36Neither of their personalities matches the other.

00:53:39However, he believes that their aura is very similar.

00:53:42To ditch her here would be like ditching her aunt and running away.

00:53:46With that, their conversation comes to an end.

00:53:49He then turns his attention towards the man about to die.

00:53:52He offers to let him live if their questions are answered honestly.

00:53:56The man thinks they are joking.

00:53:58But Tauka can just activate the non-lethal version to save his life.

00:54:02At this point, even the man wants to know her reaction upon learning the truth about the kingdom.

00:54:08Suddenly, Tauka pushes her aside, saving her from an attack from above.

00:54:12Sivit Gartland, the strongest hero humanity has ever known comes to the scene.

00:54:17He is glad that the man died before revealing any details.

00:54:21Oban however thinks that killing the man was too harsh.

00:54:24Sivit claims he would have proved to be a thorn in their way.

00:54:27And thus, the thorn was removed.

00:54:30He reveals that this whole hunt was orchestrated by the king.

00:54:33She made him turn into a vigorous male once again.

00:54:36However, the thought of Syras being defiled by other men was infuriating to him.

00:54:41The old creed show ordered them to kill her to sleep better.

00:54:45One of Sivit's men wants to rotate her amongst her men as a reward before killing Syras.

00:54:50However, Sivit reminds him that the king ordered to have her pure corpse.

00:54:55Despite the one-sided situation, Sivit is kind enough to give her a chance to reclaim her life.

00:55:00She can fight a duel with him and winning is rewarded with their life.

00:55:04She can also use her spirit regalia to fight, but for some strange reason.

00:55:09He is now more interested in Tauka who has been smirking from the start.

00:55:13Tauka realizes that the enemies are out of spell range.

00:55:16He slowly closes the gap, asking to have a chat with Sivit.

00:55:20But before that, introduces himself with his alias.

00:55:23Sivit immediately sees right through him, claiming his circumstances must be tough for using an alias.

00:55:30Oban doesn't understand why their captain is showing interest in a pipsqueak.

00:55:34He explains that strangely enough, this person dares to laugh in front of the five dragons instead of trembling.

00:55:40He thinks that Tauka might be plotting something and kill them.

00:55:44On that note, he understands that Sivit is a perceptive guy, and lying will not work against him.

00:55:50Tauka continues to close the distance, demanding to ask a question.

00:55:54He believes that Sivit is looking for an enemy who can quench his thrift for battle.

00:55:58But why doesn't he fight someone like the goddess from the Lion Kingdom?

00:56:02Sivit explains that their kingdom and Alicent have a deep bond with each other.

00:56:06However, he has great expectations from the heroes who are getting powerful due to the goddess's blessing.

00:56:13Tauka understands that the only thing excluding him from absolute pride is his thirst for battle.

00:56:18After all that talking, he loses the appetite for the duke and wants to kill her.

00:56:22The least he can do is present her head to the princess Katalia of Nia.

00:56:27The reason their kingdom destroyed their nation is because there was a rumor that Ceres was hiding in their nation.

00:56:32They demanded Katalia to hand her over.

00:56:35But she refused to open her mouth, leading to her destruction.

00:56:39As his rants come to an end, Tauka creates the perfect survival plan.

00:56:43He repeats his earlier questions, asking if he is looking for an opponent who can give him the adrenaline rush.

00:56:49Upon getting confirmation, he offers to become his enemy.

00:56:53He reminds him about his praise for the heroes advancing with the bleeding of the goddess.

00:56:57With great caution, Tauka reveals his true name and identity as the hero from another world.

00:57:03He phrases his sentences in such a way that they are left for interpretation.

00:57:08He claims that his position is unique among all the heroes.

00:57:12The goddess set him free to gain experience in the outside world.

00:57:15He reveals that his rank is much different from the other heroes.

00:57:19But his ways of saying make Sivet think that he's special not that he's an E rank.

00:57:24Sivet finds it interesting that the goddess holds him in high regard.

00:57:27He asks what the hero from the other world wants.

00:57:31Tauka simply wants to postpone their duel to another time.

00:57:34He claims that he will become stronger and kill him in one day.

00:57:38He will gain power that will surpass even the goddess one day.

00:57:42Despite his statements, Sivet asks about his methods of achieving strength.

00:57:46He explains that the goddess granted him freedom because she wanted him to take a different path.

00:57:51He will go to the golden demon zone to pursue strength that no hero has obtained.

00:57:56Not only that, he will return to the goddess's side as promised.

00:58:00Sivet loves ambition and killing intent in his eyes.

00:58:03He allows him to live for the time being and postpone their duel.

00:58:07They will leave after making sure that Siras is not breathing anymore.

00:58:11However, Tauka claims that this won't be happening.

00:58:14He needs Siras to become stronger.

00:58:16She is just an object that will help him get more strength.

00:58:20He wonders if he is going to travel with Siras without the goddess's permission.

00:58:24Naturally, Tauka doesn't care about the goddess.

00:58:27He just needs Siras to get through the golden demon zone.

00:58:30Since Sivet senses no lies from his mouth, he agrees to this request as well.

00:58:35Oben objects to this decision and tries to persuade him not to make this mistake.

00:58:40He thinks that Siras will just go back into hiding, making her impossible to track.

00:58:45Sivet tells him to shut up or else his death will not be painless.

00:58:49Siras also isn't comfortable about their deal.

00:58:52However, Tauka shuts her down, reminding her that a deal is a deal.

00:58:56At that moment, Sivet asks his subordinate to inform their assassin about the deal

00:59:01and tell him to let them pass without harm.

00:59:03He bids farewell and leaves with his men in the opposite direction, looking forward to their duel.

00:59:09Tauka grins for succeeding to fend off the attack.

00:59:12But that is not enough.

00:59:13He takes advantage of Sivet while he's off guard to cast his spell.

00:59:17Before he can finish saying paralyze, he turns around to attack.

00:59:21But the effects of the spell make him fall to the ground.

00:59:24He did not expect anything less from humanity's strongest warriors.

00:59:28Yet, they are nothing when facing his spells.

00:59:31Tauka clarifies that his story is not noble enough to make him honor his word or that type of shit.

00:59:37He is out for revenge, and letting the black dragons live is an unnecessary risk.

00:59:42He poisons all of the other teammates and moves to Sivet's side.

00:59:46He reminds him that his powers are of a different nature than the other heroes.

00:59:50He casts lethal poison on his body Sivet can't understand what is happening.

00:59:56Unexpectedly, he can move under the effects of paralyze like the Soul Eater.

01:00:00Still, his movements are more fluid than anything he's seen before.

01:00:04Although after being hit with a combination of paralyze and poison, trying to move is just suicide fast forward.

01:00:11Before dying, one of his men calls for backup.

01:00:14Tauka activates strange markings on his face, allowing him to remain calm in this situation.

01:00:19He allows her to leave if she desires.

01:00:22However, Sira's wishes to stay, and in exchange, she wants all the blue dragonstones.

01:00:28Soon, the backup arrives, shocked to see the strongest humans on the ground.

01:00:33Sivet warns them to stay far and attack with long-range spells.

01:00:37Unbeknownst to him, Tauka had activated his secret technique, which eats up all of his magic upon activation.

01:00:43Plus, it takes a while to explode out of the box.

01:00:46The newfound power from the demon-strengthening agent for Pygmaru allows him and Tauka to become one.

01:00:52This way, he extends Pygmaru's tentacles to increase his range.

01:00:56He effortlessly casts the same combo from episode 1.

01:01:00At the same time, the dragons he pointed from before die out, allowing him to rank up his skill poison

01:01:06and paralyze.

01:01:07Not only that, he gets three new additional skills called Freeze, Dark, and Berserk.

01:01:12At first, Tauka activates to realize that this ability makes them go nuts.

01:01:17The faster they move, the more the poison spreads.

01:01:20Darkness lets him blind people which can come super handy on the battlefield.

01:01:24While Freeze has the same effect as in the self-explanatory name,

01:01:28he quickly deals with the side characters to get back home.

01:01:32Even now, after so many hits, even the greatest human alive couldn't recover.

01:01:36He taunts and passes insults, but his body gives in.

01:01:39Late at night, Tauka thanks her for not running the other way after seeing his dark side.

01:01:45She claims that letting him die will be a waste of time.

01:01:48Especially since he has this kind expression on his face once in a while.

01:01:52Suddenly, it comes to her mind that the hero killer is still out there somewhere.

01:01:57She claims that he is the only person who has the talent to surpass the greatest human.

01:02:01Tauka casually confirms his dragon's skin color to determine that he killed him before.

01:02:06On the other hand, the goddess's substitute teacher Niantum visits the boys on the battlefield.

01:02:12She will take command of the battlefield whenever the goddess is not around.

01:02:16One of the show-offs thinks that her abilities are half-baked.

01:02:19But fate lets here cook, allowing her to defeat him without even the S-ranker looking at the strike.

01:02:25On the other hand, three soldiers patrolling around the area find a crystal outside the abandoned ruins.

01:02:31Usually it turns platinum, but this time it's different.

01:02:34The soldier keeps the crystal to make some extra cash.

01:02:37The other two think they should report the situation to Allian's goddess.

01:02:41However, the man reminds them that no one has the balls to escape the abandoned ruins.

01:02:46He asks if they have ever seen anyone come out with popcorn in their hands.

01:02:51Meanwhile, Tauka takes a stroll in the bazaar to celebrate the fresh kill spree.

01:02:55There, a mask catches his eyes.

01:02:58The shopkeeper's mask is a replica of the one the Fly King used to wear.

01:03:02Being a tourist in their world, he doesn't know about the Fly King.

01:03:06The shopkeeper informs him that the Fly King was one of the demons who fortified an island.

01:03:11He created the perfect city for the demons and fought every invader that came.

01:03:15His name spread across the continent as the greatest warrior.

01:03:19However, his own people banished him, claiming he became estranged to the path of root of pure evil.

01:03:25Soon, his famous squadron also perishes in history, but their names are quite famous.

01:03:30As Tauka enjoys the lively market, Syras decides to break in early.

01:03:35She doesn't want to engage in excessive activities that will use her energy.

01:03:39It will hinder Tauka's journey, and so she wants to be in tip-top condition to act as his sword.

01:03:45Eventually, he enters the tent to crash for the night.

01:03:49But before that, Tauka decides to change the benevolent hero look.

01:03:53He is on the road to revenge.

01:03:55Thus, becoming a demon suits him more.

01:03:57He proclaims that the goddess will feel the wrath of the person who sold his soul to the devil.

01:04:02Back in the Margar Kingdom, the White Wolf King calls an emergency meeting with the Holy Alliances.

01:04:08All of them can't believe that humanity's strongest fighters will be killed.

01:04:12The King of Urza assures everyone that the matter is under investigation.

01:04:16Though nothing can be said at the moment.

01:04:19Unexpectedly, they found a piece of cloth belonging to Syras, making them think that she is the murderer.

01:04:24They expected the fighters would be a huge help against the demon emperor.

01:04:28However, now the goddess claims they need to show importance to the heroes.

01:04:32The Mad King feels like this was her plot from the start.

01:04:38The Allian Kingdom will benefit the most from the demon attack, as every country will ask for their hero's help.

01:04:44The goddess acts like she knows nothing that he's talking about.

01:04:48She shifts the conversation reminding everyone of the demon's threat.

01:04:52Suddenly, the Mad King brings up the god-killing ritual, striking a nerve.

01:04:56Still, nothing can be said without proof.

01:04:59Nonetheless, the White Wolf asks if all of them blame Syras for their murder.

01:05:03Before anyone can answer, one of his messengers inform him that a group in the Urza Kingdom

01:05:08is claiming to have killed humanity's strongest hero.

01:05:12Just as the meeting goes on, Tauka and Syras reach the capital city of Urza.

01:05:16This will make their journey to the Golden Demon Zone much more smoother,

01:05:20as the area is just north of the capital.

01:05:22However, he ignores most of her walkthrough guides to check if there are any pursuers.

01:05:28After getting reassured, he asks about all the cheering coming from the giant Colosseum.

01:05:32Syras reveals that the arena is called the Blood Colosseum.

01:05:37Mercenaries from around the world come to fight in the capital in death matches.

01:05:41The winners are handsomely rewarded upon their victory.

01:05:44The governing bodies are the Duke of the City and the Mercenary Guilds.

01:05:48However, initially, the Colosseum was a place where mercenary groups chose their warriors.

01:05:53But now, it is just a pastime for rich nobles who like to gamble and poor people who like to

01:05:58waste their time.

01:05:59He realizes that it is the exact copy of the Colosseum at the time of ancient Rome.

01:06:04Eventually, they visit the most expensive inn that commoners can live in.

01:06:09Syras suggests that they should save money for future travels and book a single room.

01:06:14Tauka immediately turns around and reminds her that he's a boy, or he can just prove it in the room.

01:06:19She immediately turns away in shyness and says she doesn't mind him booking a single room.

01:06:24Later, the two of them enjoy a meaty dinner at the inn's dining hall.

01:06:29Tauka can't believe that a capital city is packed with people.

01:06:32As the two eat their food, two men start talking about the murder of the Black Knights.

01:06:37They start talking about the rumor that Syras the Holy Knight was the one who killed them.

01:06:42They think that they had a duel, but she was injured in the process.

01:06:45Eventually, Syras also succumbed to her wounds and died like a loser.

01:06:49All this information overloads her single brain cell, making her choke on food of all things.

01:06:56Tauka gives her a glass of water before her sword gets killed before the battle even begins.

01:07:01At the same time, the two old farts continue to talk about the rumor.

01:07:05They propose a theory that Syras wasn't the killer of Black Knights.

01:07:08The group known as Ashinto has been going around saying they were the killers.

01:07:13Suddenly, the so-called soldiers of Ashinto step into the inn,

01:07:16introducing themselves as the Messiah of Urza.

01:07:19Tauka gives a closer look at them and concludes they are nothing special.

01:07:23In the meantime, the two men think the strongest blood fighter or the forbidden witch might have

01:07:28killed them. It is rumored that the strongest blood fighter has met with the forbidden witch

01:07:33who is a dark elf. However, it is also well established that the witch was last seen 10 years

01:07:39ago. Tauka quickly slides his chair towards the two men to ask about this rumor. But first he

01:07:45offers to buy them a round of drinks and food. They inform him about the

01:07:49details and a few things about the strongest fighter. Suddenly, the strongest fighter Eve

01:07:54enters the pub for a bite. Naturally, he slides into her side like it's her DM to ask about

01:08:00the forbidden witch. Eve tells him not to believe in baseless rumors. She went to the golden demon

01:08:05zone but never found the witch. She also advises him to stop pursuing the witch, as the golden

01:08:11demon zone is not a place for a kind-hearted soul like him. On that note, she leaves the pub

01:08:17after paying

01:08:17her dues. Afterwards, Ceres informs him that she was lying about meeting the forbidden witch.

01:08:23She could hear her heartbeat with those long ears. Ultimately, they head back to the inn to call it a

01:08:29night. However, Tauka realizes he forgot to bring Piggymaru some food. In that moment, he is forced to

01:08:35use the infinity gauntlet from the first episode that grants him infinite items. Ceres loves bread and

01:08:41cheese, but he informs her that the items are random. Suddenly, a gust of wind blows her hair

01:08:47to the side, leaving him in awe. Yet, Tauka turns away once she notices her gaze. He starts a

01:08:53conversation about their future plans regarding the witch and the blood fighter. She says that their

01:08:58first priority should be collecting information. Furthermore, she knows that blood fighters value money

01:09:04over anything. They can buy back their freedom but the amounts are insane. Unexpectedly, Eve is not

01:09:11collecting money for herself. She promises to free a little dark elf by buying back her freedom soon.

01:09:17Outside, Ceres elegantly practices her swordsmanship with the moon glazing her every move.

01:09:22Upon seeing this, Tauka internally compliments her skills as a blade wielder. He realizes why the

01:09:28strongest hero of humanity wanted to fight her as an enemy. Once she is done, he requests her

01:09:34to teach him how to fight in close-quarter combat. Plus, it is not right for his self-image that

01:09:39a

01:09:40girl is stronger physically. As her master's order, Ceres agrees to teach him how to fight.

01:09:45She leaves herself wide open for the attack. Moments later, she clarifies that she meant him to

01:09:51violent and not attack her from down there. Tauka being the dimwit already knew this part. He throws a

01:09:57right hook at her, but she immediately counters and locks him in position. Suddenly, her jugs touch his back,

01:10:03causing her to back down. She apologizes for touching him while her clothes are full of sets.

01:10:09Tauka, however, doesn't mind learning the forms without them physically touching.

01:10:13He just wants her to feel comfortable. Later at night, Ceres decides to wash their clothes.

01:10:19Unexpectedly, she finds herself getting wet after sniffing on his shirt. Despite liking him,

01:10:25she thinks that doing something like this does not benefit a lady of her stature.

01:10:29At the same time, he shows up at the scene, scaring the shit out of Ceres. She is scared

01:10:34that he might have seen her sniffing on his shirt. But Tauka wants to know where his clothes went.

01:10:40Relieved, she reveals that his clothes are in the washer. She is used to washing clothes and

01:10:45doesn't mind helping him out. As the knight grows young, Tauka silently admires her beautiful face.

01:10:51He knows that she is the true kind of person type. Soon, she wakes up from his constant gaze.

01:10:57He tells her that it has been hard to sleep for a while now. That is when she pulls out

01:11:02a variety

01:11:02of herbs from the traveling back. One of them is good at relaxing a person while the other is used

01:11:08to energize them through the night. Although, she finds it necessary to clarify this detail.

01:11:13To break the awkward ice, he prepares tea from cubes summoned by the gauntlet. She tastes the tea

01:11:19and immediately falls in love with it. Afterwards, she accidentally spills the entire bottle of herbs

01:11:25inside the cup. Tauka wants to drink the one with the wrong dosage. However, Ceres insists on taking

01:11:32responsibility. Unfortunately, the drug works like charm, making him lose his mind. Somehow both of

01:11:38them quench their worldly desires to do the horizontal Tonga. Still, he tells her to go to sleep quickly

01:11:44before things get out of hand. Suddenly, she asks if he is the type to resist temptation. While looking at

01:11:51the moon, Tauka reveals that his revenge takes priority over other things. It is like a curse,

01:11:56forcing him to look towards a single goal and stopping him from embracing other things.

01:12:01Ceres goes down her knees and promises to lift this curse as soon as possible.

01:12:06The very next day, she finds enough information about Eve's speed from the local pubs.

01:12:11The fighter is so famous that people love talking about her. She was bought off the slave market for

01:12:16the Coliseum. Everyone was pretty excited to see a Leopard King fight tournament. And let's just say

01:12:22she didn't disappoint. Eve has been the champion of the arena ever since. Apparently tomorrow is her

01:12:28last fight. Tauka realizes that she has earned enough money to buy back her freedom. And so using

01:12:34money as bait won't be possible. Ceres however contradicts his conclusion, revealing that Eve collected

01:12:40the necessary amount to buy back her freedom two years ago. Ever since then, she has been saving money to

01:12:46free a little girl, a unique twist in the plot. Further, she heard that every fighter dies in their

01:12:51last battle instead of getting free. At first, Tauka believes that the Duke makes them fight someone

01:12:57out of their league. Yet, Ceres reveals that it is not the case. It turns out that the Duke cheats,

01:13:03putting

01:13:03the blood fighters in a disadvantageous situation. Upon learning this fact, Tauka lets out a wide grin,

01:13:09knowing he can torment the Duke without any reservations. Watch this next video on screen
