00:00:00The story starts with our useless pathetic protagonist, a young man called Noor, working

00:00:04hard to clean a small canal for an old lady.

00:00:07Some time later, he finished the job and the old hag was happy with the result, because

00:00:11now the water could easily flow.

00:00:13She then signed a receipt to him and he left after thanking her.

00:00:16Afterward, we could see Noor carrying several packs at a construction site.

00:00:20Apparently, he did a pretty good job because while his hirer was signing him a receipt,

00:00:24he told him that thanks to him they would have no problem sticking to the construction

00:00:27schedule.

00:00:28However, at that moment, our jack-of-all-trades protagonist heard the voice of a woman crying

00:00:32for help.

00:00:33It seemed the voice came from inside a nearby cave, and Noor immediately ran toward there

00:00:38without hesitation.

00:00:39Once he got inside, he could see a group of knights who were fighting a giant minotaur.

00:00:43A huge flashback then began showing Noor when he was a kid.

00:00:46He was preparing some medicine for his mother who looked sick.

00:00:49He also had to feed the goats, take them to the hill, and take care of the place, since

00:00:53his father went to buy milk and the rest is history.

00:00:55His mother then warned him not to go too far away, to which he agreed.

00:00:59He also told her that he would get a wild rabbit, some nuts and seeds later.

00:01:03Right after, his mother took a rag and cleaned Noor's face while apologizing for being a useless

00:01:08waste of space, unable to do anything for him.

00:01:10In fact, she wanted him to live the life he wanted.

00:01:13That night his mother died.

00:01:14He made a grave for her and kept taking care of the house and the farm until one day he

00:01:19found a book.

00:01:19At that moment, he recalled some story his worthless father had told him when he was

00:01:23younger.

00:01:24It told the adventures of an adventurer who once, with his friends, had slain a gigantic

00:01:28dragon.

00:01:29That adventurer had also learned magic spells from an old sorcerer and had broken a curse

00:01:33cast upon a forest.

00:01:34He even managed to obtain a cure-all elixir from the king of the dead.

00:01:38In the end, no matter the predicament, he would raise his sword and strike down evil for the

00:01:42sake of his friends.

00:01:43Of course, those tales excited him, and while he was reading the book, he also remembered

00:01:48his mother's words about living the life he wanted.

00:01:50The next day, he bid farewell to his parents' graves and said he would be leaving for the

00:01:54first time because he had decided to become an adventurer.

00:01:57After a long journey, he arrived at a city and he was astonished after seeing how big it

00:02:02was.

00:02:02Later, he entered it and was amazed by everything inside.

00:02:05After a while wandering the city, he finally arrived at the Adventurers Guild, but the man at

00:02:10the front desk quickly told him that that place was not for kids and asked him to get

00:02:14out.

00:02:14However, Noor didn't back down and said the guards at the gate had told him that he could

00:02:18become an adventurer if he went there.

00:02:20The man then replied that he was going to worry his parents, and our protagonist quickly clarified

00:02:24that his parents were dust.

00:02:26That made the man change his attitude and he finally asked for his name.

00:02:29He then told him that he should go to the training school for different classes.

00:02:33They had never had a kid like him before, though.

00:02:35The man then explained that Hopeful's wanting to register with the Royal Capitals Adventurers'

00:02:40guild went to take lessons at the Royal Training School.

00:02:42They would basically get training for their job class.

00:02:45In short, if he wanted to be an adventurer, he should acquire some skills first, such as

00:02:49the art of the sword or magic.

00:02:51Noor got excited and decided to go there while thinking that a swordsman could kill a dragon

00:02:55as big as a mountain in a single swing.

00:02:57Some time later, he had joined a class and was training with the sword when one of his

00:03:01classmates managed to activate a fire skill.

00:03:03A few months later, other students had activated some skills too, and Noor kept training hard

00:03:08with the sword.

00:03:09Nevertheless, at that moment, his instructor told him to stop because there was no use,

00:03:13but Noor begged him to let him try a little longer.

00:03:16However, the instructor refused his request saying going any further would be a waste of

00:03:20our his time.

00:03:21After all, up to that moment, the only thing he had learned was parrying to evade an attack.

00:03:25He even recommended him to take another path.

00:03:27Perhaps his talent might be found in another training school.

00:03:30Noor was disappointed, but he didn't give up.

00:03:33Since becoming a swordsman was not possible, perhaps his path would be becoming a warrior.

00:03:37They fought with any weapon imaginable, risked their lives, and became a shield for their

00:03:41allies.

00:03:42Some time later, he was undergoing the tough training of the school, but after a few weeks,

00:03:46the instructor told him that although he acknowledged his efforts, what he had acquired was a slight

00:03:50improvement in his physical abilities.

00:03:53Moreover, if he forced himself to keep going he would lose his life.

00:03:56His next attempt was trying to become a hunter, but the result was the same.

00:04:00The female instructor told him that he totally lacked the sense to handle any sort of delicate

00:04:04weaponry.

00:04:05Noor then decided to become a thief, but it was another failure.

00:04:08He couldn't dismantle the trap on a treasure chest, and he couldn't sense anyone's presence.

00:04:12The next stop, becoming a magician.

00:04:14The result?

00:04:15Another failure.

00:04:16Well, it was not a complete failure since he could manage to create a tiny flame.

00:04:20It was very tiny, almost nothing.

00:04:22The instructor was even surprised because it was rare to see people as incapable of magic

00:04:26as he was.

00:04:27True, but at least that was better than his previous two attempts.

00:04:30Noor then decided to try his luck as a cleric, but although after some time he managed to

00:04:34heal light scratches, it was impressive that he could use low-level healing without being

00:04:38naturally blessed.

00:04:40After spending a full three-month term practicing at every training school, Noor ended up returning

00:04:44to the adventurer's guild without learning one decent skill.

00:04:47Unfortunately, the man in charge told him that he couldn't let him register as an adventurer

00:04:51like that.

00:04:52He then returned to his home and told his parents that he truly had no talent for anything.

00:04:56Well, at least he tried hard, let's give him that.

00:04:59However, even at that moment, he wasn't willing to give up.

00:05:02Instead, he decided he should take what he could and train much harder.

00:05:06Noor recalled that his swordsman instructor had told him that if he practiced one skill

00:05:10repeatedly, he might be able to master a new one.

00:05:13Thus, he built a training ground in his house and began to practice his parry skill like there

00:05:17was no tomorrow.

00:05:18One year later, he kept training and was capable of evading ten swords in one breath.

00:05:22He hadn't gotten any new skills but was getting better.

00:05:25Three years later he was capable of evading a hundred swords in one breath, but no news

00:05:29of a new skill.

00:05:30At that point, he had to admit that at that rate, becoming an adventurer was nothing but

00:05:34a pipe dream.

00:05:35His solution?

00:05:36He decided to train more intensely.

00:05:38He kept hitting the same wall and decided to break it with his head.

00:05:41Ten years later, Noor kept training while realizing he had spent fourteen years doing that.

00:05:46At that moment he could parry a thousand wooden swords, but he hadn't gotten any new skill.

00:05:50The next day he left his home again and decided to do one last try.

00:05:54He arrived at the Adventurers Guild, but the man from before was nowhere to be seen.

00:05:58The person in charge was a young lady who was awkward after reading Noor's set of skills.

00:06:03She even advised him to try going to the Royal Capitals class training school, but he told

00:06:07her that he had already been through all of them.

00:06:09In the end, he was about to be rejected again when the man from before finally appeared.

00:06:13It took him a little while, but he recognized our Protagonist who was a young adult at that

00:06:18point.

00:06:19Noor then told him what he had done during all those years and the results he had gotten.

00:06:22The man then explained that there were different ranks of Adventurers.

00:06:26S-Rank being the highest, and E-Rank being the lowest.

00:06:29To be recognized as an E-Rank, you gotta have more than one useful skill.

00:06:33Unfortunately, Noor didn't have that.

00:06:35However, when our pathetic Protagonist was finally accepting he might have to give up

00:06:38his dream, the man told him that there was another way for him to be an Adventurer.

00:06:42After all, there was actually something lower than the E-Rank, the outlying F-Rank, which

00:06:47was basically unheard of even to the people involved.

00:06:50Nevertheless, there were conditions even for that rank.

00:06:52He would be forbidden from taking any quests that involved killing anything or venturing out

00:06:56of the city to gather items.

00:06:58What he would be able to accept were miscellaneous tasks around the city, and that was about it.

00:07:02In the end, there were very few F-Rank Adventurers because no one was dumb enough to go to the

00:07:06trouble of becoming an Adventurer just to do those requests.

00:07:09I think that man had just met someone dumb enough to accept that.

00:07:12Almost immediately, Noor asked him to register him for that.

00:07:15He didn't care about the conditions or if that job was mainly for beggars.

00:07:19He wanted to register as an official Adventurer.

00:07:21The man sighed and yielded, so after a while he gave Noor his F-Rank Adventurer license.

00:07:26Noor didn't waste time, and after leaving the place he began to run errands around the

00:07:30city without neglecting his training.

00:07:31The good thing was that all those useless skills he had learned when training in those

00:07:35schools had become quite useful for doing those miscellaneous tasks around the city.

00:07:39In the end, his dream of becoming an Adventurer and being of use to people had come true.

00:07:44He also was aware that anything beyond that might be asking for too much.

00:07:48The flashback finally ended and we return to the moment when Noor encountered the Minotaur.

00:07:52He had only seen those things in books, so he couldn't help but be astonished after realizing

00:07:56that the actual thing was really big.

00:07:58At that moment, the monster began to attack the group of knights in front of him, while

00:08:02they tried to protect a woman, who was tied with some magic chains, by becoming her shield.

00:08:07Unfortunately, the monster began to kill the knights one by one until only the woman was

00:08:11left.

00:08:12Nevertheless, when it was about to kill her, Noor managed to drag its attention to him, and

00:08:16after grabbing a sword from one of the corpses he decided to face the monster.

00:08:19The battle then began and our protagonist managed to parry all the monster's attacks, but the

00:08:24problem was that he had no way of counterattacking, and his sword was almost at its limit.

00:08:28At that moment, a strange ring activated, and the monster decided to kill the girl.

00:08:33Noor then remembered his father's words and decided to give his all to protect her.

00:08:36He parried the next attack and his sword broke, but he managed to parry the following attack

00:08:40with the hilt and was lucky enough to create a recoil so powerful that the Minotaur ended

00:08:44up beheading itself with its axe.

00:08:46The magic chains got broken, and the young woman thanked him for saving her, although he refused

00:08:51to give her his name since he was not anyone important.

00:08:53He then left, and after realizing that even a loose cow in the city that wasn't even a

00:08:57demon was such a menace, he decided that he still had more training to do.

00:09:01Lady Lindbergh, who had long silver hair, was showing some respect to the knights that had

00:09:05wasted their life protecting her when a blonde woman, who was also a knight, appeared beside

00:09:09her asking if she was hurt.

00:09:11Once the newcomer confirmed the other was okay, she kneeled and apologized saying she should

00:09:15have gone with her.

00:09:16However, Lady replied that there was no point in having an escort for the trials for the fight

00:09:21for the throne.

00:09:22Moreover, she had been the one who insisted on that, which meant that the blonde woman,

00:09:25whose name was Inese, was not at fault.

00:09:28At that moment, another knight, Lord Darkin, appeared and told Lady Lindbergh that they

00:09:32should return to the castle at that moment since Lord Rain would like to speak with her.

00:09:36Later, a silver-haired young man told Lord Darkin that had spoken with Lynne and wondered

00:09:40if a Minotaur had been indeed summoned to the city.

00:09:43That was a demon who resided in the abyss, in the deepest layers of the dungeon.

00:09:47The knight confirmed that it had indeed been the case, and the young man concluded

00:09:50that the whole incident had been someone's doing.

00:09:53Darkin agreed and added that the source was thought to be a ring found on the corpse of

00:09:56a merchant at the scene.

00:09:58Furthermore, when Okun did his research, he discovered that the magic stone in the ring

00:10:01was of a surprisingly high purity.

00:10:03It was something atypical that you wouldn't find on the market.

00:10:06Darkin then showed the ring to the young man.

00:10:09Afterward, the silver-haired guy said that Minotaurs were a threat level a demon, so wealthy

00:10:13folks couldn't just buy something that could trap a creature like that.

00:10:16Darkin then added that Okun had said the crest left on the stone indicated the ring originated

00:10:20from the magic empire of Doridas.

00:10:22They both knew that Doridas had often provoked them, but at that moment he had become bolder.

00:10:27After all, he had attacked the princess by binding her with a barrier, so they decided

00:10:31to be more careful from that moment onwards, especially since the other part was not even

00:10:35trying to get rid of the evidence, which made the young man think that Doridas was waiting

00:10:38for their country to initiate a war.

00:10:40In the end, Doridas wanted their kingdom's resource, the relics of the Dungeon of the Lost.

00:10:45Afterward, they began discussing the matter of the man who had saved the princess.

00:10:48He had defeated the Minotaur in a matter of seconds with a single broadsword.

00:10:52Not to mention he had managed to lose the secret's core that were following his movements.

00:10:57Wow, it seems the man in charge of the Adventurer's Guild should quit as a talent scout.

00:11:01Speaking of the devil, the man was drinking something at the Adventurer's Guild when Norr

00:11:05arrived.

00:11:05He then informed him that the night before a demon had appeared near the entrance of the

00:11:09dungeon, and since he knew Norr was in that area he had gotten worried.

00:11:13Our Protagonist then recalled that the night before he was being followed around by a shady

00:11:17group of people, but he didn't reveal that and instead told the man that he had been so

00:11:21tired that had gone straight home.

00:11:22The man then told him he had been lucky because even in a rank like him would have died in

00:11:26a fight against that creature.

00:11:28The man also added that the demon had been killed by a mystery man, and Norr thought there

00:11:32were some outstanding people out there.

00:11:34Afterward, when the man was trying again to convince Norr to quit being an F-rank Adventurer

00:11:38and find a decent job, Lin appeared which shocked all the people present.

00:11:42However, the Sacred Book of Tropes indicates that nothing must be revealed at that point.

00:11:46In the end, after a very carefully scripted conversation, he agreed to go out with her

00:11:50with the Guildmaster still being oblivious that Norr had saved her the night before,

00:11:54and with Norr oblivious of the lady's identity.

00:11:56Thanks to her concealment and soundproofing skills, they managed to walk around the city

00:12:00without being detected.

00:12:01And once they got to a more discreet place, she apologized to him for showing up so abruptly

00:12:05and asking him to go outside when he was talking with the Guildmaster.

00:12:09She then thanked him again for saving his life.

00:12:11She even told him that what he had done amounted to saving the lives of many others in the nation.

00:12:15Of course, he quickly dismissed all that and downplayed his role in the fight.

00:12:19He is dense, yes, that's a fact, but she sucks at explaining things.

00:12:23Is it that hard to tell him he had killed a powerful demon and had saved the princess

00:12:27of that kingdom in the process?

00:12:29Afterward, Lin told him that she wanted to properly thank him, but he refused.

00:12:32She then told him that his father wanted to meet him, but he refused again.

00:12:36She then said that she was a person of status who wanted to give something to the person

00:12:40to whom she owed his life.

00:12:41For a while, she insisted on him accepting her gratitude only for being rejected, but

00:12:46her efforts ended up paying off because he eventually yielded and accepted to meet her

00:12:50father.

00:12:50But he said he didn't want anything extravagant.

00:12:53Right after, she used his skills again and took our protagonist to her manor.

00:12:57Once they entered the place, she asked him again for his name, and that time he revealed

00:13:01his name was Noor.

00:13:02At that time, she apologized because she realized had forgotten to introduce herself.

00:13:06She then told him her name was Lindbergh Clays, but asked him to call her Lin instead, and

00:13:10the part where you say you are a princess.

00:13:13After a while, they met with Iniz and Lin informed her she wanted to see her father.

00:13:17The blonde knight told her that he was currently in the audience chambers speaking with Rain.

00:13:21The princess then revealed that the man with her was the one who had risked his life to

00:13:25save her from that attack.

00:13:26Iniz then offered to guide them to Lin's father, although she didn't hide the fact that

00:13:30she was wary of him.

00:13:31After a while, they met with a young man called Gilbert, who immediately showed hostility towards

00:13:36Noor for no reason.

00:13:37Luckily, the blonde woman intervened to prevent things from escalating, although she secretly

00:13:41asked him to join them because the more escorts the better.

00:13:44As for the king, he was telling Rain that Doridas didn't care about the non-aggression treaty

00:13:48or anything.

00:13:49After all, he had already demanded them to hand over all the rights to the dungeon.

00:13:54At that moment, Lin's group arrived and Rain reprimanded her for having gone outside.

00:13:58She told his older brother that she needed to find the person who had saved her life no

00:14:02matter what.

00:14:03After hearing that, the king asked his daughter if Noor was the man and she confirmed it.

00:14:07Our protagonist then apologized for not knowing the proper etiquette and for the way he was

00:14:11dressing since he hadn't expected to go there that day.

00:14:14The king laughed at those words and formally thanked him.

00:14:16The king then tried to reward him, but Noor refused which put the king in an awkward position.

00:14:21After considering things for a while, the king took a giant sword that was hanging on a wall

00:14:25and offered it to our hymn.

00:14:27Rain was astonished after seeing that, but the king ignored him saying that at that point,

00:14:31the sword had already become nothing more than a mere decoration.

00:14:35Noor finally accepted it and was surprised after realizing how heavy it was.

00:14:39However, he made a last attempt to reject it, but the king refused.

00:14:42Lin's father then asked Noor to give it a swing and our protagonist did it after activating

00:14:46his physical enhancement.

00:14:48What he didn't know was that the swing had impressed everybody because he had managed to swing it

00:14:52one handed. Not to mention, Noor even said the sword was not that heavy, and I would bet

00:14:56a house on that sword being a legendary weapon or something like that.

00:15:00Afterward, the king asked our protagonist to help toughen Lin up.

00:15:03After all, things were dangerous those days, and he was worried about her.

00:15:07However, he refused and even said that it was not good for parents to interfere too much

00:15:11with their daughters, which almost made an ease burst with anger.

00:15:14Luckily, the king diffused the situation by laughing to show everybody he had taken no offense.

00:15:18Right after, Noor bid farewell to the king and left the hall without knowing he had killed

00:15:23a demon and had saved the princess of that kingdom.

00:15:25However, before he left the place, Ines stopped him saying she wanted to talk to him.

00:15:30The blonde knight then kneeled before him and apologized for her rudeness.

00:15:33Her demeanor hadn't been appropriate for the one who had saved Lady Lindbergh's life.

00:15:37She then explained that her job was to protect the people of the Clay's family from all dangers,

00:15:41and that took precedence over the way she treated guests.

00:15:44She then introduced herself as Ines' harness and added that she was vice-captain of the

00:15:48Clay's family's warrior corps.

00:15:50She also said she was known as the Divine Shield.

00:15:53Finally, she told him that from that moment onwards she would help him however she could.

00:15:57After all, by saving Lin's life he had also saved hers.

00:16:00He accepted and right after, she told him that his speech and behavior,

00:16:04while in an audience with the king had been unpardonable,

00:16:06and warned him should he continue like that in the future,

00:16:09she would no longer be able to overlook his disrespect.

00:16:11He thanked for the warning, but he didn't seem that much affected by those words.

00:16:15Finally, she asked for his name, and when he told her he was called Noor she reacted strangely,

00:16:20right after she left, but before our protagonist could move Gilbert confronted him,

00:16:24and asked him to spar with him.

00:16:26Noor was walking through a corridor with Gilbert,

00:16:28while wondering what could possibly that man need from him.

00:16:31Not to mention he was exhausted and wanted to go home as soon as possible.

00:16:35Eventually, they arrived at what seemed to be a sparring ring,

00:16:38and our protagonist asked the other what he wanted and Gilbert replied that he wanted to

00:16:42have a mock battle with him.

00:16:43That reminded Noor that he hadn't had a training partner since he had gone to those schools.

00:16:47Gilbert then told him that although he might not seem like it,

00:16:50he was quite famous in the royal capital.

00:16:52He then invited our protagonist to pick one of the training weapons that were hanging on one of the walls.

00:16:57Noor immediately grabbed a sword while thinking that was a godsend for a budding adventurer.

00:17:01Shortly after, they both were ready to fight,

00:17:03and our protagonist thought that he didn't know how much of a challenge he would be for him.

00:17:07But even though, he was willing to take that as a chance to train with someone more skillful than

00:17:11him. By the way, the other guards that were there couldn't believe that someone was willing to

00:17:15fight against their captain. The battle began and Noor immediately was amazed by the polished

00:17:19movements of the other and the way he controlled his pace. In fact, he was sure that Gilbert had

00:17:24trained like crazy to achieve that level. However, Noor soon noticed something else. Gilbert's movements

00:17:29were too slow and he couldn't understand why. Until the realization finally hit him,

00:17:34he has finally realized that he is very strong. After some consideration,

00:17:38our protagonist concluded that since Gilbert was battling against a weakling like him,

00:17:42he probably saw no point in showing even a glimpse of what he could really do. At that moment,

00:17:46he asked Gilbert to stop and told him that he knew he was going easy on him,

00:17:50but he informed him that he didn't have to hold back that much. Those words caught his attention

00:17:54and the captain even wondered if he indeed had taken it down a notch because his opponent was a normal

00:17:59human. Gilbert quickly apologized and right after resumed his attacks unleashing all his power.

00:18:05Noor immediately noticed that the other was way faster than before, yet he could still evade his

00:18:09attacks and more importantly, the moment our protagonist evaded the captain, he left himself

00:18:13completely open. It was like he was luring him in. As for the captain, he was beginning to wonder why

00:18:18his spear wouldn't touch our protagonist. Meanwhile, Noor kept thinking the other wasn't fighting seriously

00:18:23and his next explanation was that Gilbert had simply set a trap. I am currently amazed by the fact that

00:18:28this guy doesn't choke while eating. The captain then decided to use a sword skill and a feint,

00:18:33but Noor still managed to dodge his attacks, although our protagonist finally had to put

00:18:37some effort into doing it. Afterward, Noor stopped the fight again and told Gilbert that he could still

00:18:42handle more, so he could speed up, which startled the other. That reaction made Noor finally consider

00:18:47the possibility that the other was already giving it all he's got. He even thought that all the training

00:18:52he had done in those 14 years had made him stronger. Our protagonist even thought he might win the

00:18:57mock battle. Immediately thereafter, Gilbert used a powerful skill called Dragrave, which apparently

00:19:02was one of his best skills. In fact, that movement finally caught Noor by surprise, but even though he

00:19:07managed to dodge it, albeit barely. However, Noor immediately admitted defeat and left the manor

00:19:12feeling troubled. The other guards couldn't believe that someone had actually evaded that movement,

00:19:17and only felt better after justifying it on the fact that Gilbert was using a practice spear with a

00:19:21wide tip. As for the captain, he began to recall the time when he had begun training. From the

00:19:26beginning, he knew he had talent for the spear, and the more he trained, the more polished his technique,

00:19:31and the more strength he gained. Unfortunately, he quickly got bored because he couldn't find a

00:19:35worthy opponent. It was then that his master told him to go to the capital that was assembling its power

00:19:40for an upcoming war. Sadly, even after going there and fighting both demons and other powerful humans,

00:19:45he couldn't find the opponent he was looking for. He kept winning with ease, but he knew that wasn't

00:19:50enough. One day, the swordsman instructor found him resting and told him that he looked gloomy for

00:19:55someone who had obtained the honorable alias of spear sovereign. Gilbert didn't flinch and told him

00:20:00that it was just another bothersome title, which amused the instructor who said that he didn't realize a

00:20:04title equal to his sword sovereign rank was such a burden. However, the captain didn't back down and even

00:20:09told him he would like to fight him, but the instructor didn't take him seriously. Although he told him that

00:20:14someday there would appear someone who would surpass him. Back to the present, the captain recalled he

00:20:19wanted to know what kind of person could defeat a minotaur all on his own. But our protagonist made

00:20:23no sense. He showed not one ounce of interest in the most lavish of rewards, and he was discourteous

00:20:28even in audience with the king. In fact, he didn't believe that our protagonist had the power to kill

00:20:33that monster at all. However, he had gone all out with his final attack. That move was faster than the

00:20:38speed of sound, and above all, it was his most powerful technique. In fact, he recognized he had been

00:20:43reckless by using it, but he wanted Noor to feel the power of his spear. Nevertheless,

00:20:48despite Gilbert didn't know what had exactly happened, he was aware that for the first time

00:20:52in a head-on battle, he had been thoroughly defeated. Yet, the other had admitted defeat

00:20:56instead. The captain then wondered if Noor was showing concern for him because they were in front

00:21:00of his subordinates. Moreover, the most intriguing part was that after our protagonist left, the captain

00:21:06noticed several huge cracks on the floor, and he had no idea when those cracks had appeared or how

00:21:10Noor had done that. Nevertheless, one thing was certain. Our protagonist had evaded Gilbert's

00:21:15best technique while he was at full strength. Meaning, it seemed our boy had finally found the

00:21:20worthy opponent he had been looking for. As for our protagonist, he was amazed because that last

00:21:24attack had been outstanding. Sadly, that broke his confidence because after using physical

00:21:29enhancement and featherstep to avoid it, he attributed his success at dodging it to the fact that the

00:21:34captain had held back just enough so that he could get away. Otherwise, he would have died.

00:21:38Noor even went as far as to think that Gilbert had gone out of his way to warn him that

00:21:42pride would

00:21:43lead to death. Oh, for the love of all that is sacred, I knew it. I knew this would happen,

00:21:48but I didn't imagine our protagonist would use such a roundabout way in order to undervalue his own

00:21:52strength. This guy takes the concept of stretching reality to a whole new level. Some time passed and

00:21:58one day while he was resting on a hill and finding new ways of underestimating his power,

00:22:02Lin met with him and told him that she had a special request for him. She wanted him to accept

00:22:07her as

00:22:07his page. Of course, our protagonist had no idea what a page was and she quickly explained that a

00:22:12page was someone who took care of his master's everyday necessities, as he learned techniques

00:22:16and absorbed knowledge from him. Obviously after hearing that he immediately refused her request,

00:22:21but she insisted saying that if he let her stay, she was sure she could be of use to him.

00:22:25After all,

00:22:26he had achieved the highest marks ever in all six training schools. Nevertheless, he told her that

00:22:31there was nothing at all that he could teach her. I don't know, maybe how to kill a minotaur. Furthermore,

00:22:36he could do what he needed to on his own. She then changed her approach and told him that

00:22:40her family would pay him a handsome instructor's fee, but he refused again. She didn't give up,

00:22:45though, and began showcasing all her abilities by showing him the most powerful techniques she had

00:22:49learned in the six training schools. Yet he still refused her request while thinking that he had

00:22:54mistaken him for a person who was worth learning from. He told her that it had become more and more

00:22:58obvious there was nothing he could teach her. Nor decided to show her reality and used tiny flame so she

00:23:04could

00:23:05realize his talent was mediocre. What he didn't know was that Okun had told her that the size of

00:23:09the flame would depend on how hard you had trained and how well you comprehended the technique. So Lin

00:23:14was flabbergasted when she saw that Nor's flame was several times bigger than Okun's. Well, it is

00:23:18confirmed, size does matter in that world. She even recalled those fairy tales about a young boy who managed

00:23:24to complete the full term for each of the six training schools in just three months. Up to that moment,

00:23:29she also thought that the young boy didn't exist, but after seeing that tiny flame, she was sure

00:23:34Nor was indeed him. Nor told her that his other skills had the same level, which left her completely

00:23:39defeated. After all, she had just made fun of herself after showcasing her poor skills to that

00:23:44monumentally powerful person. That night, Lin appeared in front of Nor again and called him

00:23:49Sensei because she had decided that she would follow him everywhere until she accepted her as his page.

00:23:54Rain was in his office wondering what his father was thinking giving our protagonist,

00:23:57a man of unknown lineage, the Black Blade. Don't try to understand that. Plot armor is strong on Nor.

00:24:03The prince recalled that his father had obtained that sword back in the day when he was an adventurer.

00:24:07He had pushed into the deepest corner of the Dungeon of the Lost with the Sovereign Six.

00:24:11It had been a long and dangerous quest that yielded a prime dungeon relic.

00:24:14That blade was made of an unknown material, harder than mithril or a chalcum, and monometal.

00:24:19In fact, no matter the technique or skill used, nothing caused even a scratch on it. That had earned

00:24:24the weapon the title of Unbreakable Blade. It was obvious that the sword had value beyond that of a

00:24:29weapon. That made things clear. Although, the prince ended up considering the fact that his father had

00:24:33noticed the sense of unrest hanging over their country. In all likelihood, the king was counting

00:24:38on that man. As for Nor, he was with Lin eating in a stall. He was worried about the princess

00:24:42being

00:24:43seen outside. But she quickly reassured him saying that she was first and foremost a simp. By the way,

00:24:48in this episode of, how to be the densest creature in the world, our protagonist kept thinking that he

00:24:53was not someone who should be considered an instructor. But the more he tried to clear up

00:24:56the misunderstanding the more complicated that situation got. Perhaps if you both stop assuming

00:25:01things and spoke to each other clearly. Sigh. What I am even thinking, this is an anime.

00:25:05This trope will follow the protagonist till the end of time. Some time later, they arrived at the guild

00:25:10and the guild master asked him what was he doing with Lady Lindbergh. But in the end,

00:25:14he decided to let that pass and ended up offering them a goblin hunting job. After all, since the

00:25:19lady was B rank, they could take that quest as a party. Of course, he couldn't help by ask if

00:25:23she

00:25:24was okay with him taking advantage of her rank. And she quickly replied she was okay with that

00:25:28since he was her instructor. Now, the guild master is either a master concealing his emotions or he's

00:25:33deaf. It's amazing he didn't react after hearing that Nor was the instructor of a B rank adventurer.

00:25:37The guild master then explained the details of the quest and right after they left the city

00:25:41and headed to the Forest of Beast. He was excited because it was his first quest outside the walls,

00:25:46and she was excited because she would be able to see his sensei fighting for real.

00:25:50Once they got to the forest, he asked her to tell him what she knew about goblins.

00:25:53The question surprised her, but still, she answered it to the best of her knowledge thinking it had

00:25:58been a test. As for our protagonist, her reply confirmed to him that he had nothing to teach her.

00:26:02They kept walking and found it strange that no goblin had appeared so far. However,

00:26:06Lin soon felt the presence of a monster, and they both went further into the forest to investigate.

00:26:10They kept walking and suddenly she felt how the presence she had detected before had disappeared.

00:26:15Nevertheless, they kept going and shortly after Nor noticed the body of a goblin being dismembered.

00:26:20And after Lin cast a spell, they uncovered a huge goblin that had been eating the other one.

00:26:24Nor couldn't believe adventurers fought those enormous creatures like it was nothing,

00:26:28because they didn't. That's obviously a rare mutation or something,

00:26:31and he thought Lin was terrified due to her lack of combat experience. However, since ignorance is bliss,

00:26:36he quickly told her they had to fight that creature since it was just a goblin,

00:26:39which boosted her confidence because she thought that to him, even a goblin emperor,

00:26:43a subspecies of the goblin king, that was considered an extreme threat, was nothing.

00:26:47The misunderstandings here are getting inception levels. Misunderstandings within misunderstandings.

00:26:52The goblin began its attack, but Nor quickly parried all its movements. His strategy was to act as a

00:26:57tank and leave the damage dealing to Lin. Unfortunately, the monster was very fast,

00:27:01and she wasn't able to hit it. The goblin emperor began throwing trees at Nor,

00:27:05but he easily parried all those attacks while Lin was analyzing the situation. Luckily,

00:27:09she quickly noticed a mana stone located in the monster's forehead and told our protagonists

00:27:13that if they could get that off, they just might beat it. Of course, the goblin didn't plan to give

00:27:17them any more time to think, and it began throwing more trees, to the point of making Nor unable to

00:27:22parry all of them. Fortunately, Lin used a wind spell to repel the trees and cut the monster in the

00:27:27process, but sadly, the monster's wounds kept getting healed thanks to the mana stone. The bad news was that,

00:27:32at that rate, they would just run out of stamina and magic. Moreover, Nor thought that if Lin's

00:27:37magic attacks couldn't hit the monster, nothing he could do would work. This is when a running gag

00:27:41begins to transform into something dangerous. Nevertheless, our protagonists suddenly had a

00:27:45moment of inspiration and asked Lin if she could aim her wind spell at his back. The lady tried to

00:27:50warn him that the spell was powerful enough to demolish castle walls, but he reassured her saying he

00:27:55would use the sword to withstand the blast. Furthermore, that was their only chance of becoming

00:27:59faster than the creature. This protagonist is filling the Goku archetype. He is a genius at fights,

00:28:04but an idiot at everything else. Lin then aimed the spells towards his back and sent Nor at an

00:28:08amazing speed towards the creature. Our protagonist had to use all the skills he knew in order to

00:28:13withstand the blast, but in the end, he managed to hit them on a stone in the creature's forehead

00:28:17before it could defend itself. Immediately thereafter, the gem fell from the monster's forehead and the

00:28:22goblin began to scream while grabbing its head with its hands. At that moment, Lin arrived next to

00:28:26Nor and showed him the stone. He then asked her to finish it off, but making sure it didn't suffer

00:28:30much. Afterward, she got close to the creature, and before it could attack her, she killed it with a

00:28:35fire spell. Nor then arrived near her while thinking he was going to refrain from any more goblin slaying

00:28:40for a long while. Oh, that's the reason why they cast another protagonist for the goblin slayer anime.

00:28:45He also said to himself that he shouldn't get overconfident and go into dangerous situations.

00:28:49What you should do is properly assess your strength to have a real idea of what would be dangerous to

00:28:53you in the first place. But I guess that would kill the series' premise. Some time later,

00:28:58a group of undercover agents gave Rain the monestone while informing him that there was a goblin emperor

00:29:02in the Forest of Beasts, one that was several times the size of a goblin king. Obviously,

00:29:07the prince quickly suspected there was something abnormal about that and told the others that the

00:29:11magical empire might be responsible for that incident. Moreover, that monestone was suspected of

00:29:15being a demon's heart from the holy theocracy of Mithra. Rain then asked about his sister,

00:29:19and they reported that she had gotten only minor wounds. That surprised the prince who said it was

00:29:24amazing how they had been able to overcome it. After all, the agents reported that the monster

00:29:28had hidden behind a powerful seal and had ambushed them. In fact, the princess believed it had been

00:29:32there for a few days, perhaps more. That astonished the prince because it implied that the seal had been

00:29:37so powerful that not even the secret core had been able to perceive it. That led to another question

00:29:41because he couldn't understand how they had been able to carry such a bulky thing all the way to their

00:29:45country in the first place. After all, if it had been summoning magic, the sensory network in the

00:29:50capital should have caught it. Or not. The agents of that department hadn't detected the seal. In my

00:29:54eyes, they are as competent as Disney's showrunners. Rain then asked the agents if there had been some

00:29:59telltale signs in the perimeter, to which they replied that the number of goblins was decreasing.

00:30:04So the Adventurers Guild had requested an investigation into it. And yet, they didn't discover anything.

00:30:09They are useless. The prince quickly warned the others that there might have been several similar

00:30:13cases in other areas as well. And one of the agents gave him a report that summarized all

00:30:17the questionable instances from the last three months. Back at the guild, the guild master

00:30:21congratulated Noor for a job well done, and our protagonist replied that it had been way harder

00:30:26than what he had imagined it would be, and gave all the credit for defeating the monster to Lin.

00:30:30As for the guild master, he simply assumed our protagonist had watched the battle from the

00:30:34sidelines and told him that goblins could be a threat even for newbies so he should take that

00:30:38as a good way for earning experience. You know, this man should be fired from his position.

00:30:42It's a miracle the city hadn't fallen with that waste of space in charge of the Adventurers Guild.

00:30:47By the way, in case you wonder, no, the fact that they killed a goblin emperor

00:30:50instead of a regular goblin was conveniently omitted during the entire conversation.

00:30:54No, it was worse. When the guild master began suspecting something was wrong,

00:30:58Lin quickly downplayed the whole thing with a lame explanation. And both men accepted it.

00:31:02Not even Inspector Gadget. Heck, not even Hong Kong Fui was that dense.

00:31:06The guild master then asked them for the goblin's right ear as proof of the quest completion before

00:31:11he could pay them. And Lin and Noor realized they had burned the monster when they killed it.

00:31:15No money for you. Now that was funny. Try to parry that. You deserve that and worse for being dense.

00:31:20Rain was reading the report that summarized all the questionable instances from the last three

00:31:24months. And, after a while, he concluded that perhaps the enemy had already encroached very deep

00:31:29into their country. Right after, he ordered all members who could use Search and Uncover to form a

00:31:34group and dispatch to the designated areas. He also ordered to call for all six sovereigns and informed

00:31:40them that was an emergency summon. Once his men left, the prince began recriminating himself for

00:31:45having overlooked the plot and began wondering what was happening. The worst part was that the

00:31:49prince still couldn't understand why the empire was doing that to them. Maybe refusing to give them

00:31:53a dungeon they seemed to badly want could have something to do with it. Well, he knew the empire

00:31:58wanted the dungeon's resources, but he couldn't accept they had decided to resort to that scheme,

00:32:02especially because that plot would put a lot of innocent lives in the line of fire.

00:32:06If the plot was true, that would mean the empire intended to demolish their country.

00:32:10Back with our protagonist, he was eating with Lin in some stall while she told him that it had been

00:32:15a good thing they had gotten compensated in the end. Come on, guild master, why? Dishonor on you,

00:32:20dishonor on your cow. At least he didn't give them the rewards, but a little present in celebration of

00:32:25their first hunt. But still. As for Noor, he was wondering how long Lin was going to stick around,

00:32:30especially since her folks should be worried about her. Luckily for him,

00:32:33she decided to let him go for the time being, and told him that she was going to return home.

00:32:38Of course, he let him know that she would assist him again if he didn't mind her doing so.

00:32:42At that precise moment, Rain appeared and, without even saying hi, he asked our protagonist to head

00:32:47to a city in the Mountain District the next day in the morning, along with Lin. He added that he

00:32:52was

00:32:52going to give them a carriage as well as one escort. The prince then apologized for being unable to give

00:32:57Noor any more details at that moment, but thanked him in advance for cooperating with them.

00:33:01Our protagonist quickly agreed and said he would need to pack for that journey.

00:33:05After hearing that, Rain replied that they would pay him well and cover their travel expenses.

00:33:09In fact, after the prince placed the request through the guild, the guild master told Noor

00:33:13he should relax since it was a pretty sweet deal. I insist, I've seen many incompetent authority

00:33:18figures in anime, but that guild master is quickly paving his way to the top. The next day,

00:33:23they began their journey, and Noor thought he had never been on a carriage before,

00:33:26so he wanted to see what it was like. However, while he was very happy in joining the scenery,

00:33:31Lin was crestfallen to the point a dense man like him noticed it. Sadly, since our

00:33:35protagonist has the social skills of a potato, he was unable to find out the reason for her behavior.

00:33:40She then apologized for her brother having burdened him with that request,

00:33:43but Noor downplayed the whole thing saying he was getting paid, not to mention he still owed her for

00:33:48the goblin hunt. A flashback then began showing the moment when Rain told them the details of the quest.

00:33:53Their final destination would be the Holy Theocracy of Mithra, but according to his instructions,

00:33:58it was clear that he was sending them as scouts, relying on Noor's strength. The problem was that

00:34:02our protagonist didn't catch the implications of the quest, not to mention he hadn't realized yet how

00:34:07strong he was. On the other hand, Lin did manage to understand the underlying text and got worried.

00:34:12As I said before, following a trope blindly can be dangerous. Back to the present, Lin told Noor

00:34:17that she truly hoped nothing happened. At that moment, Ines told them they shouldn't be worried

00:34:22because that was why she was there. She then recalled the secret order the prince had given her.

00:34:27He had said that shortly the royal capital would fall into an unprecedented crisis,

00:34:31so if she received a report of the destruction of the capital, she should take Lin together with

00:34:35Noor and flee to the Holy Theocracy of Mithra. Obviously, Ines asked him if Lin knew that,

00:34:40but the prince replied he hadn't told her because he was sure she would surely refuse to leave.

00:34:44In fact, the vice-captain told him that she couldn't be away if there was an emergency in the capital.

00:34:48But Rain said that her duty was of the utmost importance. She had to take Lin somewhere safe,

00:34:53and he couldn't trust anyone else with that task. I don't like where this is going. Back to the

00:34:58present, Ines apologized to Noor for having involved him, but he simply replied that she was making a

00:35:03simple trip sound very serious. Ines then showed him her divine shield, a skill that allowed her to

00:35:08create a shield of light in front of her. Neither weapons nor magic could get through it, for the most

00:35:13part. After seeing that, he couldn't help but admire her since he knew she was very powerful,

00:35:17even as powerful as Gilbert. On the other hand, he felt way inferior since a single goblin had given

00:35:22him a lot of trouble. I would like to hear their opinions on Noor killing a goblin emperor almost

00:35:27by himself. The vice-captain then began to recall her past and a flashback began showing her childhood

00:35:32when she discovered her power. In fact, back then, Oaken told her that her gift could become a blade to

00:35:37cut anyone down or a shield that could protect against anything. Afterward, she was taken in by the

00:35:42sovereign shield Dandal, and she learned from the six sovereigns how to use her power. Nevertheless,

00:35:47she couldn't dispel the fear that she would hurt someone again since she had hurt a friend by

00:35:50mistake with her power. That fear made her to put distance between her and others. In fact, she

00:35:56thought she had become detached from the things they said and did, but that belief crashed when she heard

00:36:00Noor's name. She knew that name because her master, Dandal, seemed to hold that person in high regard,

00:36:05which made her feel envious. A feeling that had gotten worse from the moment he had appeared in

00:36:09front of her. Back to the present, she reprimanded herself reminding her that she shouldn't let her

00:36:14feelings cloud her judgment since she was the shield of the clay's kingdom, and her duty was

00:36:18to protect Lin with her life. At that moment, Noor realized there was a strange path in the wheat

00:36:22fields that were on the side of the road, and when he informed that to the ladies, Lin quickly used

00:36:27her Uncover spell to discover a big-winged monster that had been hiding under a magic veil.

00:36:32Meanwhile, in the capital, the attack had begun and several beasts had appeared surrounding the city.

00:36:36The warrior corps were trying to handle the situation, but they didn't have enough soldiers.

00:36:41Rain then ordered the swordsman troop to block the roads immediately to fend them off,

00:36:45while evacuating the citizens. Afterward, the prince told the king he feared that was just the

00:36:49beginning, which the other agreed. To make things worse, the six sovereigns had been previously dispatched

00:36:54to stop the attacks of various monsters that had appeared in different locations.

00:36:58Of course, the king immediately realized the enemy's strategy was divide and conquer.

00:37:02The main culprit here is that dumb guild master, fight me. As for Rain, he tried to find comfort

00:37:07in the fact that his sister was safe. Speaking of the sister, the monster they had discovered was not

00:37:12alone, a human boy was with it, and apparently, he had the mission to kill some people, although he

00:37:17looked like he had been forced to do it. In fact, when their cover was blown, the black death dragon

00:37:21hit him before facing Noor's attack. While our protagonist fought the monster, the boy couldn't

00:37:26help but marvel at Noor's strength, and in ease made Lynn notice that the boy had appeared along

00:37:30with the monster, which meant they were both together. The final piece to complete the

00:37:34openings puzzle had appeared. Lynn was astonished after hearing that because she couldn't believe

00:37:38the boy was a demonfolk. Demonfolks appeared to be the same as humans, but they were demi-humans who

00:37:43had the special ability to establish a mental bond with monsters at will, which put them closer to

00:37:48monsters than humans. That's why people considered them abhorrent. The demonfolks were thought to be

00:37:53extinct, but it seemed their descendants were somehow still around according to what Rain had

00:37:56told Lynn before she left the capital. Ines then said that black death dragons were monsters that

00:38:01dwelled in the marshlands and they rarely went where humans resided, which confirmed Lynn's thoughts

00:38:06that the boy had manipulated the dragon to go there. In fact, Ines was convinced that the boy was trying

00:38:11to take that vicious monster to the royal capital. Furthermore, she also had guessed that the shock of

00:38:16being exposed by the Uncover spell had caused him to lose his mental hold on the dragon. Additionally,

00:38:21the vice-captain thought she couldn't believe how Noor had rushed to help someone like that.

00:38:25She considered his action as a foolish decision, and somehow seeing him doing that pissed her off.

00:38:30Lynn then tried to help our protagonist, but Ines stopped her saying she wouldn't help him again.

00:38:34As for Noor, he thought that the monster was not very powerful, and it moved slowly,

00:38:39so he planned to hold out until Lynn and Ines got there. Unfortunately, the dragon used a breath attack

00:38:44against him, which put him in a tough situation since he knew that evading the attack would mean

00:38:48the kid getting hit by it. In the end, Noor decided to parry that one too, but once he did

00:38:53he got

00:38:53poisoned to the point of losing control of his body. He then recalled that Ines had tried to stop him

00:38:58from fighting the frog, and he finally realized that perhaps she had tried to tell him it was a poisonous

00:39:03one. Yes, he thought the dragon was a big frog, but to be fair, it indeed looks like a winged

00:39:08frog.

00:39:09Meanwhile, Ines explained to Lynn that the true danger of that dragon was its poison.

00:39:13The princess then tried to go help Noor, but the vice-captain stopped her again because,

00:39:17at that moment, the very existence of the kingdom might depend on her survival.

00:39:21The dragon then threw an even bigger breath attack, and Ines warned Lynn that one breath

00:39:25of that gas would be fatal even in the presence of the sovereign healer.

00:39:28The vice-captain then used her shield to block the attack, while mentally apologizing to Noor.

00:39:33After all, she had chosen that path because she admired her master. However, once the smoke

00:39:38dissipated, she could see Noor was still fighting, even while being in a terrible condition,

00:39:42which made her recall why her master held him in high regard. She then concluded that Noor's

00:39:47philosophy was doing whatever he could to protect someone, even if that meant sacrificing herself,

00:39:51which was the way of a true shield. Unfortunately, after parrying several attacks,

00:39:56Noor couldn't keep fighting and fell, but while agonizing he felt good with himself,

00:40:00because he had managed to save the kid. A flashback begins, showing the kid who was

00:40:03controlling the dragon when he was in prison. Apparently, some kids were considered cursed children,

00:40:08because at birth they possessed the cursed power to control magical beasts.

00:40:12They were treated like trash, and the kid recalled that he had heard that a long,

00:40:16long time ago his ability was considered a liability that only controlled livestock.

00:40:20But then someone had started to use it to control monsters in a war and killed a lot of people,

00:40:24and from that moment onwards they had become loathed. Every day they were tortured for no reason,

00:40:29even crossing eyes with a guard was enough to get beaten into a pulp. According to the kid,

00:40:33being sent flying by a kick was also a daily occurrence. In fact, one day he had been beaten

00:40:38until he was almost unrecognizable just for asking a question. He didn't know why, but he was able to

00:40:43read the minds of anyone in front of him, which was especially painful when he was exhibited like

00:40:47an animal inside a cage so the people could insult him. In fact, when the people discovered he had

00:40:52that skill, they got even more violent. Nevertheless, no matter what awful things happened to him,

00:40:57he never retaliated. In fact, he had never thought of doing so. Even though he hated being loathed,

00:41:03abused, and beaten, he had never ever wanted to think about hurting anyone else. More than

00:41:07anything, he just didn't want to see any more blood. Nevertheless, on a certain day,

00:41:11one of the wardens arrived at his cell. He was accompanied by various monsters,

00:41:15and he told the kid that he could help a certain country by taking those monsters with him.

00:41:19He also said that demon folks could be useful to people, they could be useful to the nation.

00:41:23Of course, the kid found that opportunity appealing because he wanted to be useful.

00:41:27Not to mention that the man told him that he would never be beaten for no reason again,

00:41:31and that he would let him eat his fill of delicious meats if he did what he said.

00:41:35In fact, to make the offer more appealing, the man added that the benefits would be not

00:41:39only for him, but for everyone in the prison. Of course, the man also reminded him that if he

00:41:44didn't accept the offer, he would get the same treatment as before. Perhaps he would be treated

00:41:48even worse. Unfortunately, the kid couldn't read his mind because the man was wearing a magical device

00:41:53on his forehead, but he knew that the man always kept his promises. That was the reason for him

00:41:58accepting the job. Moreover, back to the present when the seal was broken and the dragon attacked

00:42:02him, he thought he had somehow messed up and was scared thinking that everyone was going to suffer

00:42:07again because of him. In the end, he was about to die unable to help anyone, and his only comfort

00:42:12was thinking he at least hadn't hurt anyone either. In fact, he was happy to die and only hoped that

00:42:17if

00:42:17he was reborn he wouldn't get beaten so badly in his next life. He could be useful to someone,

00:42:21and he could have something delicious to eat at least once. Nevertheless, death didn't arrive because our

00:42:26protagonist appeared to protect him. That surprised the kid who couldn't understand why the man was

00:42:31protecting him. Noor gave his all fighting the monster, but soon he couldn't move anymore and

00:42:35fell, although he was happy to have protected the kid. A new flashback began showing a young

00:42:40Noor paying respects to his parents' graves before going to gather some ingredients in the mountains.

00:42:44He then recalled that it all had started after he returned from the training schools in the royal

00:42:49capital, at dinner time. He couldn't be sure if all the herbs he gathered were edible, but he thought

00:42:54that worst case scenario, it would just give him a bit of a stomachache. However, that evening he got

00:42:58seriously poisoned after eating the meal he had prepared. He began to bleed profusely, and the

00:43:03only thing he could do was to cast low heel on himself while hoping for the better. He somehow

00:43:08managed to stay alive up to the next day, and after reading a book that was at home he could

00:43:12identify

00:43:13the poisonous herb he had eaten. Nevertheless, he still intended to train while coughing blood and

00:43:18barely being able to walk. Finally, after some days, he began to feel better and could resume his daily

00:43:23activities, only to get bitten by a poisonous snake. A while later, he regained consciousness and

00:43:28noticed he was feeling alright, and his next action was to eat the snake that had bitten him.

00:43:33The next day, he captured another snake and allowed it to bite him. He then noticed that the poison was

00:43:38spreading slower than the day before. That made him happy because he concluded he had gained some

00:43:42tolerance. In fact, he thought that he could gain a new skill that way, and from that moment onwards he

00:43:47developed a taste for poisonous things. In the end, he couldn't acquire any skills using that method,

00:43:52but was able to eat poisonous things at the cost of vomiting a small amount of blood.

00:43:56Back to the present, Noor stood up while thinking that he had probably survived because of the

00:44:01tolerance he had gained before. Not to mention that he was eager to eat that dragon since it

00:44:05looked delicious to him. Noor then dodged another attack from the monster and thought that at first,

00:44:10he hadn't been able to counteract the poison in time, so he had spewed a little bit of blood,

00:44:14but he knew from experience that that much was no big deal. He then checked the condition of the

00:44:19kid and was glad to see he was okay. It seemed like the detoxification of his low heel had taken

00:44:24effect in time. Afterward, the battle resumed with Noor parrying all the attacks from the dragon to the

00:44:29point of making it hurt itself with each blow. Of course, that made the kid admire him for being

00:44:34able to take on such a horrible creature by himself. The dragon then decided to use another breath attack,

00:44:39but that one looked way bigger than the others and Noor immediately realized that was the frog's all-or-nothing

00:44:44death strike. Nevertheless, our protagonist managed to parry the attack before it could launch it,

00:44:49causing its head to explode, and leaving in ease, Lin and the kid flabbergasted. Once the battle was

00:44:54over, he looked at the monster and couldn't help but find it strange that such a huge and dangerous

00:44:59frog was outside the city, but above all, he still thought that it should probably be pretty tasty.

00:45:04He then went to where the kid was and asked if he was okay. Afterward, he asked him if he

00:45:08had gotten

00:45:09there all by himself, and the other quickly clarified that he had been the one who had taken that monster

00:45:13there because he had promised to take it to the city. That surprised Noor because he couldn't

00:45:17understand why the kid had gone through all that trouble to take that poison frog there.

00:45:21I remember it is a dragon, but Noor considers it a frog, and it looks like a winged frog,

00:45:26so it is a frog. Right after, our protagonist arrived at the most logical conclusion and realized the

00:45:31frog was going to be used to attack the city, which made him wary of the kid. Nah, I am

00:45:36kidding,

00:45:36of course, he wouldn't be able to arrive at that conclusion, that would be beyond his capabilities.

00:45:40No, according to his advanced reasoning, that frog should have been for eating. In the end,

00:45:45he thought the kid was traveling incognito to be safe and not getting robbed. As for the poison,

00:45:50he was sure that a large city would have the techniques to handle it properly. He even thought

00:45:54that those frogs were raised like cows on a farm. His delusion went to the point of making him feel

00:45:59very bad for having ruined the delivery of the kid's precious stock to the city. At this point,

00:46:03I should want someone to clarify the situation for him, but to be honest, I prefer seeing him

00:46:08suffering. He then apologized to the kid and offered him he would pay for the damage caused.

00:46:13Obviously, the kid got flustered after hearing that and quickly told him that it wasn't necessary.

00:46:18Afterward, Noor asked him how he had taken the frog there and the kid revealed he could control

00:46:22monsters. Our protagonist was amazed by that and told him that was an amazing skill. He even asked him if

00:46:27there were others in the world who could do that. The kid didn't comprehend what he meant by skill

00:46:32and said he had been born with it. That impressed Noor even more he told the kid that something like

00:46:36that could only be a talent gifted from the heavens. The kid was on the verge of tears at that

00:46:41point

00:46:41and decided to reveal he was a demon folk and added that all demon folks could do that. Right after,

00:46:47Noor began to explain all the things he had imagined he would do if he had that ability.

00:46:50The kid was surprised by his attitude and asked him if he wasn't afraid of him. He then said that

00:46:55there

00:46:55were people who were scared of and also hated that he had that power. However, Noor couldn't understand

00:47:01his point and only told him he shouldn't pay attention to that. They could say what they wanted,

00:47:05but that was a super useful ability in his opinion. Now, what could possibly be waiting for Iniz and

00:47:10Lin to go see if Noor was okay, and what was the real goal of the kid? Of course, those

00:47:15words made

00:47:15the kid cry because someone had finally told him he could be useful. Noor then thought that unlike

00:47:20himself, the kid had been blessed with a desirable ability. At that point, Lin and Iniz arrived and he

00:47:25told them he was okay because he was strong against poison. Nevertheless, the princess still couldn't

00:47:30believe our protagonist was okay. After all, along with the poison there had been also miasma,

00:47:35she was sure of that. And that was an extreme poison that even ruined the soil in its path.

00:47:39The only way of surviving after taking a direct attack like that was having a sacred spirit.

00:47:44Instructor Sane, the Sovereign of Salvation, had once shown it to her. By honing the body and mind

00:47:49like a saint, the technique purified everything it touched. It had been the perfection he had finally

00:47:54found at the end of his unconventional training. Noor then introduced the kid to the ladies who

00:47:58immediately got on guard. Afterward, in a very, very convoluted way, Iniz and Lin understood the

00:48:04kid was a slave who a mysterious person had used to attack the city. Moreover, nobody explained to Noor

00:48:09why demon folks were hated by the people. They didn't even tell him that people hated them in

00:48:13the first place. Afterward, our protagonist told the ladies he wanted to give the kid a ride to the

00:48:18nearest city. At first, Lin wanted to refuse, but she then remembered his father's words about not

00:48:23being misled by rumors and trusting her own eyes and agreed to Noor's plan. Right after,

00:48:28the kid introduced himself as Rollo and Lin asked Iniz if they could take the kid with them.

00:48:32The vice-captain was about to refuse, but Noor stopped her saying that if there was no room for

00:48:36him, he could have his spot in the carriage. Iniz then explained that demon folks were not allowed

00:48:41entry into the Holy Theocracy of Mithra, which was their destination, so taking him with them would

00:48:46be complicated. Nevertheless, if they left him there, it would be difficult for him to survive alone.

00:48:50It was a tough situation, but before they could say anything else another person arrived.

00:48:55It was a mysterious warrior who wore a handkerchief to cover his eyes, and who looked at the group

00:48:59menacingly. The newcomer saw the dead frog, and told Rollo that he had screwed the delivery he was

00:49:04supposed to make. Right after, Noor asked the mysterious man if he had been the one who had

00:49:09asked the kid to deliver the monster, and the other replied that he was just a hired hand. The man

00:49:13then

00:49:14asked if Noor had been the one who had killed the frog, and our protagonist quickly apologized

00:49:18saying he didn't know it was an important delivery. The mysterious man replied that he

00:49:22couldn't care less about who had messed up with the delivery. After all, his business was related to

00:49:26the kid. The newcomer had been hired to take the kid back. Noor looked hopeful that the kid would be

00:49:33able to return to his home safely and asked the man if he was there to pick up the kid.

00:49:37The newcomer

00:49:38confirmed it saying the kid was worth quite a lot. Immediately after that, he disappeared and appeared

00:49:42behind our protagonist trying to kill him. Nevertheless, Noor parried the attack while

00:49:47asking why he had done that. The man then said that our protagonist was on his way and asked

00:49:51if he would mind handing the kid to him because his carcass was very valuable. After hearing those

00:49:56words, Noor finally began to suspect something fishy was going on and asked the man why he had meant by

00:50:01his carcass, to which the newcomer replied while attacking our protagonist, that he could take the

00:50:06kid back alive and let his client murder it. But he had decided to do them a favor and kill

00:50:10the kid

00:50:10himself. Noor kept parrying the other's attacks while saying he didn't understand what the newcomer

00:50:15was talking about. The mysterious man then said our protagonist didn't have to understand and tried

00:50:20to jump over him to kill Rollo. Nevertheless, Noor was faster and appeared in front of him to parry

00:50:24that attack too, breaking the man's sword in the process. Meanwhile, Lynn didn't know what was

00:50:29happening because the newcomer and Noor were moving so fast she couldn't see a thing. Right after,

00:50:34Anise told her to make sure she didn't leave her side. Back to the fight, the man said Noor was

00:50:38a weird

00:50:39one and immediately thereafter changed his weapon for two daggers. Sadly, his next attacks were also

00:50:44parried by our protagonist. That finally began to piss the newcomer off, and he told Noor that he

00:50:49was in his way, so he would have to start by lopping his head right off. The newcomer then launched

00:50:54an

00:50:54attack so powerful that it managed to send our protagonist back various meters despite it being

00:50:58parried. Of course, that made Noor realize this opponent was stronger than the minotaur he had fought

00:51:03before. Nevertheless, the man also had to admit our protagonist was not an easy one because one of

00:51:08his daggers broke after the attack. However, the man was not ready to give up and after taking out

00:51:13another dagger, he resumed his attacks. Noor then thought that fighting him while protecting

00:51:17Rolo would make him run out of stamina very fast, and the newcomer wondered why our protagonist didn't

00:51:22die. The battle was so intense that Anise had to use her divine shield in order to protect both her

00:51:27and Lynn from the shockwaves. The vice-captain also told the princess that if they carelessly got too

00:51:32close to the fight, they would be swept up in that skirmish. After all, for her, there was no mistake.

00:51:36That bizarre appearance meant the newcomer was Deadman, a former S-rank adventurer called Deadman

00:51:41Zadu. The vice-captain then recalled a conversation he had had with the Sovereign Six about him.

00:51:47They told her that he was officially dead and advised both her and Gilbert to not fight him

00:51:51because he was too strong for anyone. They told both of them that, as a kid,

00:51:55Deadman had mastered the ancient art of dwarven alchemy, and at the tender age of 13 he had earned

00:52:00the name, Dragonslayer. In short, he had managed to become the apex of all adventurers. Unfortunately,

00:52:05he had turned to the dark side and some in the guild association even suggested that he should

00:52:10be stripped of his adventurer's license. The problem was that the contributions he had made

00:52:14to the guild were significant, and he had also taken down a disaster-level threat of a monster

00:52:18on his own. In the end, the leaders were divided and the matter was put on hold. In the meantime,

00:52:23he had turned out into a mercenary accepting any kind of job as long as he was being paid. He

00:52:28had even

00:52:28wiped out the army of a country on his own before murdering the entire royal family. Back to reality,

00:52:33Deadman was beginning to have fun while fighting Noor, who could only parry his attacks. Meanwhile,

00:52:38Iniz told Lin that Zadu had been challenged by multitudes of adventurers whose goal was the vast

00:52:43bounty on his head, but it had only ended in a mountain of corpses as the amount for the reward

00:52:47went higher and higher. So, to prevent any more meaningless casualties, the guild had announced

00:52:52publicly that he had been successfully killed. Back to the fight, the last of Deadman's daggers broke,

00:52:57and Noor justified himself saying it had been the newcomer's fault for suddenly attacking

00:53:00them out of nowhere. As for the man, he couldn't understand why the daggers made of Orochalcum

00:53:05and Dragon Tusk had broken. Zadu then decided to play safe and used his main weapon and cross-like

00:53:10sword. He threw it upwards and it divided into dozens of copies. He then introduced his weapon

00:53:15as Silver Cross and told Noor he could break as many as he wanted because he could easily make more.

00:53:21Zadu then threw all the swords towards Noor and Rollo, and although our protagonist could parry a lot of

00:53:25them, he had to let others stab him in order to protect the kid. After seeing that, Iniz knew that

00:53:30she had to help them, but in the end, she forced herself to stay put since her mission was to

00:53:34make

00:53:34sure Lin made it safely into exile. Afterward, the vice-captain asked the princess for permission to

00:53:40leave her and assist our protagonist in battle. Back to the fight, Noor kept parrying the swords,

00:53:44but when another group of them was about to stab him, Iniz used her divine shield to block them,

00:53:49which surprised our protagonist. What he didn't know was that Iniz had done it because she had concluded the

00:53:54best way to protect Lin at that moment was to keep him alive. Right after, she used some of the

00:53:59shields

00:53:59as swords to keep Zadu busy. In the meantime, she told our protagonist that they had to change their

00:54:04strategy if they wanted to win. From that moment onwards she would focus on defense and asked him

00:54:09to take the newcomer out. In that instant, Noor had an idea and after grabbing one of the frog's fangs,

00:54:14he told her that on his signal she would have to remove the shield that was in front of him.

00:54:18Shortly after, our protagonist's plan proved his worth because the fragments of the fangs managed to

00:54:23destroy the copies of Zadu's swords. Obviously, the former adventurer didn't want them to succeed

00:54:28and immediately thereafter tried to kill Iniz with a surprise attack. But Noor managed to parry that

00:54:32one too, which left the newcomer startled, especially because his adamantite sword had broken in the

00:54:37process. Noor apologized again for breaking another of Zadu's weapons and the other said again he didn't

00:54:42want an apology. Although he asked our protagonist how he had been able to see his attacks and then used

00:54:47them to counter, but even Noor wasn't sure of how his ability works. Our protagonist then asked if the

00:54:53attack again, but Zadu said he wasn't. After all, it was a pain to recover Mithril after it got

00:54:58shattered all over the place. He then said he was going to leave and added that he had heard there

00:55:02was about to be a flashy celebration in the royal capital. Sadly, he didn't explain what he meant by

00:55:07that. Afterward, he tried one last surprise attack, but after Noor parried it, he finally gave up saying

00:55:12our protagonist was exceptionally screwy and that it was a shame to lose the good money he would have earned

00:55:17for taking Rollo back. Right after, he simply disappeared. Once he left, Noor began to discuss with the

00:55:23others the party that was going to be held in the royal capital. He even suggested they go back there,

00:55:28but at that moment Rollo fell to his knees and began to tremble. When Noor asked him what was

00:55:32happening to him, the kid asked them if they were from the royal capital, and after they confirmed it,

00:55:37he told them that they shouldn't go back because he had heard that the biggest monster had been sent

00:55:40there and that it was strong enough to wipe out the entire city. Noor didn't understand the kid's

00:55:45words, but Lynn more or less realized something bad was about to happen there and asked them to go

00:55:49back. Unfortunately, Inese disagreed and tried to reveal what Rain had asked her, but the princess cut

00:55:55her off saying she already knew. After all, she was his little sister and she knew how he thought.

00:56:00Nevertheless, she insisted on going back because they had to warn the others of the danger they were

00:56:04about to face. Not to mention that if they lost their homeland, they would surely suffer the same fate

00:56:09as the demonfolks. In the end, Inese had to agree, but she asked the princess to not leave her side

00:56:14under any circumstances. Noor then asked Rollo what he wanted to do and the kid said he was going

00:56:19to go with them. He knew that he could barely do anything, but he was sure that whoever was taking

00:56:23that monster to the royal capital should be one demonfolk like him. Right after, Noor began to look

00:56:28at the horizon with a contemplative expression that Lynn mistook for our protagonists being touched

00:56:32by Rollo's backstory. In truth, he was sad for not being able to taste the frog's meat. Right after,

00:56:38the quartet began their journey back to the royal capital, while Lynn thought that it was her duty

00:56:42to take the legendary warrior, the one who had defeated the Black Death Dragon, and was able

00:56:46to fight the legendary dead Manzadu, back there as a reinforcement. Meanwhile, at the royal capital,

00:56:52Rain was walking through a devastated street, when a knight informed him that just about all citizens

00:56:56in the old city had been evacuated. Moreover, the Sovereign Six had fended off the enemy's ambush.

00:57:01However, the prince said that there should still be another wave coming. The knight then added that the

00:57:06secret corps was conducting a desperate search for the enemy with no results. After hearing that,

00:57:11Rain replied that they would be attacking them at that moment because their forces were scattered.

00:57:15According to the prince, the enemy planned to exhaust them, so they should be setting up for

00:57:19the next big wave. The problem was that they couldn't see what that next wave would be. Suddenly,

00:57:24Rain had a hunch, and he began to see the sky and quickly noticed something weird in it.

00:57:28The prince then cast Uncover, and immediately thereafter a Dragon of Calamity was revealed. A flashback

00:57:33begins showing Noor's father explaining to a little Noor that there were some creatures called devil

00:57:38dragons which did mean things to people. He then told his son how an adventurer had slayed one of

00:57:42them by cutting its head off. Noor's father also explained how the scales, claws, fangs, and bones

00:57:48of those dragons could be turned into materials for high-quality weapons and medicines, which brought

00:57:52wealth to the land. That was the reason for that adventurer to become a hero who people called the

00:57:57Dragon Slayer. Of course, the kid quickly said that he wanted to become a Dragon Slayer too, but his father

00:58:03replied that it was not an easy task. Some dragons were incredibly strong ones that had lived for

00:58:07thousands of years. They could make the ground tremble just by walking, and even crumbled

00:58:12mountains by swinging their tails. In fact, that continent had almost been destroyed long before

00:58:16by dragons that had run wild. Back to the present, Noor was pulled out of his reverie by a strange

00:58:22sensation he was feeling. All the group was in the carriage and despite they looked outside through

00:58:26the windows trying to see what was wrong, they couldn't find anything. However, just a few seconds later,

00:58:31they were finally able to see the Dragon of Calamity that was hovering outside the capital

00:58:35city walls. Meanwhile, the citizens of the capital were terrified while seeing the huge creature

00:58:40slowly flying above their heads. The dragon was so huge that its shadow covered an immense area of

00:58:45the city. Even Rain couldn't believe his eyes and asked if the Empire understood the horror they had

00:58:50unleashed. Right after, the knight beside him said that according to the records, it had been only 150

00:58:55years since it had fallen asleep, so it should have been in its dormant period at that time. Immediately

00:59:00thereafter, the prince replied that those fools of the Empire had awakened it. In fact, he couldn't

00:59:05understand why they had used something so destructive in a simple dispute. At that moment, the dragon

00:59:10began to flap his wings, and the wind that action created was enough to damage the city badly. Rain then

00:59:15ordered the knight to round up everyone who had taken shelter in the capital and have them evacuate

00:59:19immediately. He even added that if they tried to stay, they had to carry them out. Not a single person

00:59:24should be left in the capital. Meanwhile, at the top of the city walls, Mayan of the Sovereign Six

00:59:29said that she was sensing more magic that was being used to obstruct all the evacuation routes,

00:59:33which meant it was basically impossible for the six of them to unite. After all, each one of them

00:59:38was busy fighting several monsters that had appeared at their locations. In the meantime, inside the

00:59:43castle, Gilbert told the king that they should leave and take refuge because they wouldn't stand a

00:59:47chance if the dragon got there. However, the monarch replied that he wanted the warriors to protect the

00:59:51people and focus on guiding them away from the capital. As for him, he still had his own job to

00:59:56take care of. Outside the city, Anise was using her binoculars to watch what was happening in the city

01:00:01and afterward. She said that in the face of that dragon, there was no doubt the capital would be

01:00:06absolutely destroyed. She even guessed that they should be evacuating everyone at that moment.

01:00:10After hearing that, Lin said that her father would surely choose to use himself as a shield despite

01:00:15knowing that even he was no match for something like that. In the end, she couldn't help but cry while

01:00:20begging that her father chose to leave instead. Nevertheless, Noor seemed to fail to understand

01:00:24yet the calamity the capital was facing and was amazed by the size of the dragon because it was

01:00:29the first time he saw one. Keep in mind that the previous one was seen by him as a frog.

01:00:34Our protagonist then asked Lin if her brother and father were still in the city and the princess

01:00:38confirmed it because she did not doubt that they had stayed behind, and to make things worse it was

01:00:42too late for them to help them. Nevertheless, Noor disagreed with that and said that he thought he

01:00:47could do it if he ran. In fact, he added that they could use the same strategy they had applied

01:00:51against

01:00:51the Goblin Emperor. Lin quickly understood what he meant. He wanted to use the wind blast to increase

01:00:56his speed. The princess was not sure of doing that because he would be hit pretty hard. But our

01:01:01protagonist reassured her saying that his sword would take the brunt of it. Noor then added that

01:01:05he owed a lot to the people of that city and her dad, so he would like to lend a

01:01:09hand. After all,

01:01:10he thought that helping him escape shouldn't be too hard. After hearing those words,

01:01:14Lin reprimanded herself for being hesitant and thought that she couldn't judge her sensei as

01:01:18she would judge a normal person, so she should trust him and follow his lead. Back with the king,

01:01:23he was walking through a corridor inside the castle while recalling his conversation with

01:01:27the emperor when he threatened him with destroying his kingdom should he refuse to hand the dungeon of

01:01:31the lost over to the empire. That day, the emperor even went as far as to call him a coward

01:01:35for not

01:01:36using the resources of that dungeon to build a military power strong enough to control the world.

01:01:41Afterward, the dragon finally landed in the city and the king said, while looking at the monster,

01:01:45that the emperor cared about nothing else as long as he got the dungeon. The monarch then admitted

01:01:49to himself that he had underestimated his enemy. After all, he had never expected he would throw the

01:01:54full force of his might at them like that. In the end, he had made a mistake in letting negotiations

01:01:59break down. The monarch then reached the roof of one of the castle towers and recalled her daughter

01:02:04when she was a little girl and ran happily in that place. The monarch then admitted he was not the

01:02:08best fit to be a king. He had always thought that he was more suited to being on the battlefield.

01:02:13Right after, he apologized to his subjects for following a foolish king like him and promised

01:02:17them that, although he was aware it wouldn't be enough to redeem himself from his sins,

01:02:21he was going to take one of the dragon's eyes with him. Back with our protagonists,

01:02:25Lin and Iniz prepared a special setup to increase the power of wind blast,

01:02:29and shortly after they literally turned Noor into something very similar to a human bullet.

01:02:33After all, they had prepared a cannon-like magic device to condense and advance the power of the

01:02:37spell. On the other hand, the king was ready to begin his fight against the dragon that had

01:02:41arrived at the castle after crushing a big part of the capital under its feet. However,

01:02:46before the monarch could make his move, the monster began to prepare its breath attack that surprised

01:02:50not only the king, but also his son and the soldiers that were nearby because they had recognized

01:02:54that attack as the one that had burned that continent to a crisp several hundred years before.

01:02:59In the end, the king smiled while thinking that the dragon wouldn't even give him the

01:03:02chance to retaliate. However, he decided to die with a flash and took out a special weapon while

01:03:07telling the dragon it was going to learn a painful lesson about how tenacious were the humans.

01:03:11Even the Sovereign Six had stopped what they were doing to witness the confrontation between their

01:03:15king and the dragon. Nevertheless, in the last moment, when both of them were about to clash,

01:03:20Noor arrived like lightning and parried the dragon's attack, astonishing all the witnesses.

01:03:24Afterward, the dragon began to wonder what had happened and tried to understand how a little

01:03:28person had been able to counter its attack. Obviously, that pissed the monster off big time

01:03:33and it decided to crush the ant who had gotten on its way. Unfortunately, for the monster,

01:03:37its tail attack was also parried by Noor, although our protagonist was forced back too. Meanwhile,

01:03:43Ines, Rollo, and Lin finally arrived at the city, and after seeing the destruction the dragon had caused

01:03:48they decided to find the king and escape that place as fast as possible. Sadly, some debris fell from

01:03:53the castle tower after being hit by the dragon's tail and the trio was knocked down from their horses.

01:03:58To make things worse, a group of goblin emperors was heading towards them, although they were

01:04:02smaller than the one Lin had fought alongside our protagonist. The princess then recalled Noor's

01:04:07teachings and told Ines everything was fine because they were facing mere goblins. When the vice captain

01:04:12heard that she smiled and replied that Lin was right, after all, compared to the dragon, those monsters

01:04:17were nothing. Sadly, the princess attacks didn't cause damage and the goblins managed to reach the

01:04:22place where the trio was. Only Ines' shield prevented them from attacking them. It was then that Rollo

01:04:27decided to use his powers to paralyze the monsters, allowing Lin and Ines to easily kill them. That

01:04:33made the princess realize how great was the power of demon folks. She even noticed it took Rollo great

01:04:38courage to use his ability. However, there was no time to waste so she quickly told them they had to

01:04:42keep going. Back with Noor, the dragon couldn't believe its attack had been countered again. It made no

01:04:47sense to it so it kept attacking our protagonist who simply kept parrying those attacks.

01:04:52The worst part for the dragon was that its body was getting badly damaged despite supposedly

01:04:56being indestructible. As for our protagonist, he was amazed by his sword. Despite receiving all

01:05:01those huge impacts, it didn't have a scratch on it. The dragon then decided to change its strategy

01:05:06and took off while preparing another breath attack thinking that time it wouldn't miss.

01:05:10Right after, the monster shot a powerful energy beam toward Noor. But contrary to everybody's

01:05:15expectation, our protagonist also managed to parry it. Immediately thereafter, the dragon roared and Rollo

01:05:20told Lin and Anise that the monster was angry, but not only that. The creature was frustrated because

01:05:25Noor wasn't treating it as a serious threat, even though that was what it was trying to be. As for

01:05:30the king, he said that dragons were prideful creatures, especially the one they were facing

01:05:34which believed it was more powerful than anything. But watching that fight it was almost like it had

01:05:38realized the man in front of it was stronger, which was true because, at that precise moment,

01:05:43the dragon had finally admitted the small one was itself. Nevertheless, the monster didn't surrender and

01:05:48attack again, only to be parried again, although it lost a claw in the process. Right after,

01:05:53the dragon fell at Noor's feet and the color of its eyes changed. After seeing that, Rollo said that

01:05:57the monster was submitting to our protagonist. Of course, that development left everyone flabbergasted,

01:06:03and that included Noor himself who then recalled his father's words about that legendary hero who had

01:06:07gained the title of Dragon Slayer. However, after seeing the attitude of the dragon at that moment,

01:06:12he didn't find in him the will to kill it. He even admitted that perhaps he wasn't hero material.

01:06:17Immediately thereafter, Lin, in ease, and Rollo ran towards him, under the gaze of the king,

01:06:22while our protagonist greeted them with a big smile on his face. Lin asked Noor if he was okay,

01:06:27and he replied that he was fine. Then he finally understood what had happened and thanked Rollo for

01:06:32his help. Our protagonist had assumed the boy had calmed the dragon, but Rollo quickly said that he

01:06:37hadn't done anything. Nevertheless, Noor thought that Rollo didn't want others to know about his ability,

01:06:42and that was the reason he was saying he had nothing to do with the dragon's behavior.

01:06:45In the end, our protagonist didn't probe further leaving another misunderstanding among them.

01:06:50Afterward, Noor asked Rollo if he could send the dragon back to where it had come from,

01:06:54but in ease disagreed with that decision because that dragon was very dangerous.

01:06:58Our protagonist then said that even though he understood that it was better to just kill it

01:07:02there if, at all possible, he didn't want to do it. Of course, Noor was aware that he was being

01:07:06selfish in asking for that, but he asked them to at least consider it. In the end, Lin agreed with

01:07:11his

01:07:11proposal and asked Rollo if he could do it. The kid was hesitant because the creature was very

01:07:16powerful, but Noor whispered to his ear that it was okay because neither Lin nor Anise were afraid of

01:07:20him. He then got closer to the dragon, and after a little while he told Noor that the dragon had

01:07:25said

01:07:25that it would do anything its master ordered, which surprised the others. However, our protagonists

01:07:30kept thinking that the dragon considered Rollo as its master. Noor then asked the kid to tell the

01:07:35dragon to quietly go back to where it had come from and to never harm humans again. After a while,

01:07:40Rollo said that the dragon had agreed with everything our protagonist had asked. Right after,

01:07:44the dragon took off and began to leave the city. Unfortunately, at that moment a magic beam hit it

01:07:49and the dragon ended up falling. Then, from a distance, the emperor watched everything with a

01:07:54big smile on her face while saying that everything couldn't have gone more perfectly. After all,

01:07:59even a dragon that had lived thousands of years was just a stupid beast in the end,

01:08:02nothing more than his pawn. Although he had thought that nothing would have been left of

01:08:06the capital at that point, right after, he ordered his men to begin the attack.

01:08:11Afterward, one of the soldiers used a spell that revealed all the empire's forces.

01:08:15There were thousands of soldiers heavy armed who were ready to initiate the conquest of the capital.

01:08:19At that moment, a flashback began showing how the emperor discussed the plans with his officers.

01:08:24A well-known beast tamer had already awakened the dragon of calamity and had brought it to heel,

01:08:29which had paid off the high price they had demanded for doing it.

01:08:33Then, after the dragon went on a rampage, their forces would march on the royal capital.

01:08:37All foot soldiers would be equipped with magic swords and magic shields,

01:08:41while the elite troops would have magic armor and magic cannons.

01:08:44Furthermore, they would have three Aegises, the mobile mana bulwark generation device,

01:08:48and four of the ultra-high output mana ray weapon, the Bryonac.

01:08:52Nevertheless, when the emperor was celebrating his victory as if it had already happened,

01:08:56a knight called Randius interrupted him, and, after apologizing for being blunt,

01:09:00he said that he didn't see that war benefiting their country in the long run,

01:09:03so he begged him to reconsider.

01:09:05Unfortunately, the emperor was pissed after hearing those words and mercilessly kicked the

01:09:09knights saying he had heard enough, and that no one could pose a threat to their empire,

01:09:13while they stood at the top of magical technology.

01:09:16That was why they would use that war to make sure the world knew it.

01:09:19Back to the present, the emperor said that soon, the story people would tell of the Clay's kingdom would

01:09:23be that it was a country of fools who neglected proper upkeep of the Dungeon of the Lost,

01:09:27and was led down to ruin by their own selfish greed.

01:09:30Meanwhile, the empire would be remembered as a humanitarian army that liberated the people

01:09:34from their idiot of a monarch. After all, history did not need multiple storytellers.

01:09:39One truth was all that was needed. Back with our Protagonist, he along with Nor, Ines, and Rolo,

01:09:45arrived at the place where the dragon had fallen. But they didn't know if it was alive or not,

01:09:49that was why they wanted to get closer to find out. However, at that moment,

01:09:53Lin noticed the army of the magical empire, and that army also noticed them. The emperor and one

01:09:58of his men quickly realized the princess and the divine shield were among the quartet,

01:10:02and the monarch even guessed that perhaps Ines was the reason why the royal capital had not been

01:10:06totally razed to the ground. After all, she was one of the living legends known all around the

01:10:10world. Nevertheless, the emperor thought that it was just perfect to have found them because the era

01:10:15where legends ruled had already come to an end. They now lived in an era defined by those of them

01:10:20with wisdom. He then ordered his men to fire the Bryonak on the quartet. The emperor was confident

01:10:25in his strategy because he was sure that even though Ines was the divine shield, the heat of the

01:10:29Bryonak would evaporate her into nothing. In the end, another of those so-called legends was about to

01:10:34die by his hand, which is why he loved going to war. Right after, he ordered to open fire and

01:10:40almost

01:10:40immediately a magic beam, similar to the one that had taken down the dragon, was shot at Ines,

01:10:45who could only helplessly watch it going toward her. Luckily, Noor reacted on time and managed

01:10:49to parry the beam, astonishing everybody, including Rollo and Lin who had previously gone away to take

01:10:54cover thanks to Ines' warning. In fact, the people of the empire thought that there might have been a

01:10:59misfire due to a problem with the mana condensation process. Of course, the emperor was pissed with the

01:11:04result and ordered to fire the Bryonak again. As for our protagonist, he didn't know what was the nature of

01:11:09that

01:11:09attack but was amazed by the size of the army of the empire. Lin then explained that Doridas III had

01:11:14mobilized his troops. There were thousands or even ten thousand of them. Obviously, Noor didn't

01:11:19understand what was happening, and Ines told him that all they could say for sure was that those

01:11:24brutes were there to try and annihilate their kingdom. Lin then said that their army was not

01:11:28enough to put up a fight against those numbers, and the vice-captain told her that they couldn't do

01:11:32anything else there so they should retreat. The princess agreed and said they should meet up with her

01:11:36brother. She then asked our protagonist what he would do. Another misunderstanding arose at that

01:11:41point because he wanted to run away and Lin understood he was going to fight alongside them,

01:11:45but before they could say anything else, another round of magic beams was thrown toward them.

01:11:50Nevertheless, at that time Ines was prepared and blocked them with her divine shield.

01:11:54The emperor found that development aggravating, and one of his men advised him to take shelter in the

01:11:58rear. The monarch then began to leave while ordering his men to finish the job quickly.

01:12:03Back with the quartet, Noor realized that they would keep them pinned there at that rate,

01:12:07so he decided to get their attention and buy Ines, Lin and Rolo some time. He then asked them to

01:12:12take

01:12:12that chance to escape. Afterward, he thought that although he was bad at fighting, he was pretty

01:12:16used to running away and recalled when he had been forced to run away from some angry bees.

01:12:21Lin was hesitant, but in the end, agreed with his plan. At that moment, Rolo noticed that another

01:12:26Bryonac was about to launch its attack, so the princess decided to use the same strategy they had

01:12:31utilized against the goblin emperor. Noor was against the idea, but before he could raise any

01:12:35objection, Lin used wind blast on him. Our protagonists then began to parry not only the

01:12:40magic beams thrown by the Bryonacs, but also all the attacks of the imperial soldiers. The next second,

01:12:46countless swords and shields began to fly high in the sky, astonishing the emperor and his officers,

01:12:51and before they could even react, Noor landed right behind them. At that moment, all the disarmed

01:12:55soldiers began to get injured by their own swords and shields once they started falling over them

01:13:00like a rain from hell. To the emperor's despair, Noor didn't stop there and kept going back and

01:13:04forth parrying all the attacks from the imperial army causing more and more damage. Even the three

01:13:09aeguses ended up being destroyed in the process and only the Bryonacs remained standing. Afterward,

01:13:14Noor appeared again behind the emperor who finally recognized him as one of the people who was beside

01:13:19Inese back then. However, the monarch couldn't understand how he had gotten right behind him that

01:13:23quickly. In that instant, our protagonists turned back and looked at him, which caused the emperor to be

01:13:28afraid because he didn't understand why Noor's attention was focused on him. He even guessed that

01:13:33our protagonists knew he was the emperor and had turned him into his target. Nevertheless,

01:13:37the monarch then recalled that he had his kaiser armor and his kaiser sword which were both made

01:13:41of Aurichalcum, so he gained some confidence and decided to fight Noor. However, our protagonists just

01:13:46ignored him and went to destroy the Bryonacs. Immediately thereafter, the huge magic weapons were thrown into

01:13:52the sky and almost killed the emperor because they landed very close to him. At that moment,

01:13:57desperation began to sink in the monarch's heart because he couldn't understand what was happening.

01:14:01He had 10,000 soldiers who were all perfectly equipped and magic weapons that could both

01:14:05withstand against dragon's breath and kill a dragon. However, all of that had ended up being

01:14:10useless against a single man. At that moment, Noor appeared in front of the emperor, who was on the

01:14:15floor, and the monarch asked him who was he and why he hadn't killed him yet. It was then that

01:14:19the

01:14:19emperor noticed the weapon Noor was holding. Right after, the monarch recalled the moment when he had seen it for

01:14:24the first time. That was the dungeon relic that he had wanted above all others, and he couldn't

01:14:29understand why the man in front of him had it. The emperor also recalled that the sword had been

01:14:33made from an unknown metal, which was why it was supposed to be too heavy for any normal human to

01:14:38carry. He had even heard that King Claes, who was freakishly strong, needed both hands to use it.

01:14:43He couldn't accept there was a person who had surpassed that king, but that was the only way to

01:14:47explain what was happening. Hat Man had crushed the imperial army by himself. That man alone had

01:14:52been the cause of his despair. The emperor even theorized that the reason he was still alive was

01:14:57because our protagonist wanted him to endure the torture of humiliation before brutally beating

01:15:01him to death. In the end, he was doing to him exactly what he was planning to do to King

01:15:05Claes.

01:15:06The emperor couldn't bear the torture anymore, and, after pissing himself, he got up, mounted his horse,

01:15:11and began to run away like a madman, while thinking of Noor as the boogeyman.

01:15:15A flashback began, allowing us to see what had just happened while following our protagonist's

01:15:19paw. In the end, Noor was not aiming to destroy the magic weapons of the empire, he just was

01:15:24parrying, again and again, the swords and shields that were still falling to the ground to prevent

01:15:29the soldiers from getting their weapons back. The destruction of the empire's gadgets was

01:15:32literally collateral damage. The ironic part was that while Noor was doing all that, he was concerned

01:15:38with the old man who was wearing flashy armor in the middle of the battlefield thinking that he would

01:15:42get hurt. Little he knew that the old man was the emperor, a vicious man who had been possessed by

01:15:47a huge fear at that moment after seeing our protagonist crushing his army. Back to the present,

01:15:52once the emperor escaped, Noor finally felt the backlash of putting his body to the limit and began

01:15:56to cough blood while half kneeling on the ground. He didn't fall completely because he was using his

01:16:01sword, which he had previously stuck in the ground, as support. To make things worse, various terrified

01:16:06soldiers of the empire's army were getting closer to Noor to kill him, while our protagonists began to

01:16:10lose consciousness hoping Inez, Lin, and Roll had been able to safely escape. Luckily, Gilbert and his

01:16:16master arrived just in time to rescue him while Noor became a fanboy after witnessing the power of

01:16:21the Sovereign of the Sword while killing the enemy soldiers. Meanwhile, the healer and the wizard of the

01:16:26Sovereign Six were complaining because Gilbert's master was killing the soldiers since they needed them

01:16:30alive to interrogate them. However, soon the healer got serious and warned the wizard that they should

01:16:35act quickly before another of the Sovereign Six arrived, so both of them joined hands to imprison

01:16:39the remaining enemy soldiers before healing them. Of course, after seeing all his former teachers in

01:16:44action, Noor double down in his fanboy state, after all, he couldn't believe he was seeing them again.

01:16:50Nevertheless, what he didn't know was that some of his former teachers also recognized him when they

01:16:54saw him, and shortly after they went to help him, along with Lin, Inez, and Rollo. Right after,

01:16:59a very concerned Lin quickly healed him, while Gilbert's teacher reported that a commanding

01:17:04officer had already confessed under Sane's interrogation that the empire had not further

01:17:08troops. They had already thrown everything they had at them, including the dragon and beasts that

01:17:12had attacked the capital. Sadly, it seemed that the emperor had escaped. That surprised the wizard

01:17:17because he couldn't believe that that decrepit old foji had shown up on the battlefield.

01:17:21According to Gilbert's master, the emperor should have been very confident in his resources to do that,

01:17:26to which the wizard replied saying that it had been a stupid move for a guy who

01:17:29demanded his people call him a wise ruler. In the end, the wizard believed the emperor

01:17:33should be losing his marbles. After hearing that, Noor decided to intervene and told the

01:17:38others that he had seen the emperor a little while before. He also added that the horse the

01:17:42ruler was riding had sparkly gold gear, which made him hard to miss. The wizard then guessed the

01:17:47emperor was using Orichalcum's saddlery, which was very high-grade equipment that could support an

01:17:51extensive array of skills, which in turn explained how he had escaped so quickly. However, the wizard

01:17:56couldn't help but add that the ruler's fashion sense was as poor as his attitude. Nevertheless,

01:18:01Gilbert's master reminded them that if the emperor managed to escape to the border,

01:18:05they wouldn't be able to go after him. There was a fortress as well as a bridge that spanned the

01:18:09ravine over there. Sadly, according to the wizard, there was no hope of catching up to him at that

01:18:14moment by normal means. Of course, everything would be different if there was a way for them all to fly.

01:18:19After hearing that, Noor had an idea and said that he thought it might be a way. Of course,

01:18:23assuming that the dragon was still alive. Shortly after, Noor, Lin, Rolo, Ines,

01:18:29Sane, and the wizard arrived at the place where the dragon had fallen, and almost immediately the

01:18:33wizard was excited since he was able to see a legendary creature that close. Even the healer

01:18:37was pleased because that was the first time he had been tasked with healing an enormous dragon.

01:18:42Sane then began to heal the dragon while telling Noor that he had grown quite a lot. It was at

01:18:46that

01:18:46moment that the wizard realized the man with them was his former student. After some greetings and

01:18:51teasing, the wizard asked Noor if he thought that riding the dragon was a good idea. After all,

01:18:56having them all ride on its back didn't seem safe to him. However, our protagonist reassured him

01:19:00saying that they had Rolo with them. The wizard then asked the kid if he was confident in his ability,

01:19:05and Rolo quickly replied he wasn't, which worried the wizard more, but Noor then intervened to support

01:19:10the kid. However, before our protagonist could say anything, the dragon woke up. Noor then told the

01:19:15kid to use his ability and right after the dragon roared. That made our protagonist realize the

01:19:20creature was angry, and Rolo confirmed that by saying that not only the dragon wanted revenge,

01:19:24but it also wanted Noor to order it to get some. That surprised the wizard who couldn't believe the

01:19:29kid had that much control over that dragon. Again, Noor gave all the credit to Rolo,

01:19:34and when the kid tried to clear the misunderstanding the dragon roared again. Rolo then said that the

01:19:38dragon wanted to go right away. Noor then told them to get ready and the first ones to step forward

01:19:43were Lin and Iniz, which surprised our protagonist. Lin then explained that no one could talk to the dragon if

01:19:48Rolo didn't go, so Iniz and her would guard him. She then asked Noor if he was going to go

01:19:53with them.

01:19:54Noor then began to sweat because he was afraid of heights, but he thought that it would be really

01:19:57awkward if he didn't tag along. After all, he had been the one who had come up with the idea

01:20:02and had

01:20:02dragged Rolo into that. So, he ended up saying he would go. Lin was pleased to hear that and said

01:20:08that

01:20:08Noor going with them was like having the strength of a hundred people. Sane then said he was also going

01:20:12because he had the responsibility to look after his patient until it was fully recovered. The healer also

01:20:17added that they specialized in diplomacy, referring to Karu, the thief of the Sovereign Six, who had

01:20:22also arrived. Noor was happy to see another of his former teachers and asked him if he was also going

01:20:27with them, to which the other replied that if they were going to fly on that large beast, they would

01:20:31need the concealment skill. Okun, the wizard, took that chance to say he was going with them too,

01:20:36but Sane reminded him that he needed to supervise the stone cage that he had used to imprison the

01:20:41imperial soldiers. The wizard reluctantly agreed and right after, Rain and his father arrived. The prince

01:20:46then told them that he wanted to go too since they would need a negotiator. Lin was very happy to

01:20:51see

01:20:51his father and older brother, and the king kind of apologized to her for having worried her. As for

01:20:56the vice-captain, she kneeled in front of the prince saying she would accept any punishment for

01:21:00disobeying his order and returning to the capital. Nevertheless, Rain told her that it was his fault for

01:21:05giving such an idiotic order to her. In fact, he also told her that he was glad she had made

01:21:10it back.

01:21:10The group prepared to depart while the king reminded his son he was in charge and apologized to Noor

01:21:15for continuously asking for his help, before asking him to take care of the Lin and Inese.

01:21:20While the dragon took off, Dundarg asked Sig, Gilbert's master, if he was okay with letting

01:21:25Noor go without telling him something. After all, they had finally found him after all that time.

01:21:29Sig then replied that the fact of the matter was that he had never really needed them to play a

01:21:33role in his life. He also said that the idea that they could take him in and raise him was

01:21:38laughable.

01:21:38Dundarg agreed with that and said that our protagonist was like a hero straight out of the legends.

01:21:43In fact, he made him feel like a laughingstock. Sig then recalled the moment when he saw Noor's full

01:21:48power and how the sight of those swords, shields, and magic weapons in the air left him astonished.

01:21:53In fact, he was deeply ashamed of his own laziness and thought that he shouldn't have been wasting

01:21:57time thinking he was in any position to teach others. For that reason, he had decided to retrain

01:22:02himself from scratch since he had been made aware of his own shortcomings. After all, he couldn't rest on

01:22:07his laurels and let his sword rust. Dundarg seemed pleased after hearing that and told the other

01:22:11that for a guy who was deeply ashamed, he looked pretty happy. Gilbert's master quickly confirmed

01:22:17the other he was happy due to the spectacle Noor had shown them. After all, after being shown something

01:22:22like that, it was natural to be happy. Some time later, the dragon kept flying, but there were no

01:22:27signs of the Emperor, which made Rain think that perhaps the ruler might have already arrived back at

01:22:31the Empire. In fact, they were arriving at the border, and Karu said that they couldn't recklessly

01:22:36rush past it, so he advised them to consider going back. At that moment, Lin finally found the Emperor,

01:22:41but he was already crossing the bridge that signaled the border of the two countries. Karu also saw him

01:22:46and said that he was getting close to the imperial capital's defenses on the other side of the bridge.

01:22:50He also added that they wouldn't make it back in one piece if they crossed into their territory.

01:22:55They were concealed at that moment, but once they were aware of their existence,

01:22:58the magic would lose its effectiveness. The prince heard the other's recommendation but replied that

01:23:03letting the Emperor escape was not an option. After all, they had access to powerful magical tools

01:23:08and could use them to greatly reinforce their military power, so they couldn't give them the

01:23:12time to do that. Lin knew his brother was right, but was a little bit afraid of what might be

01:23:16awaiting

01:23:16them, but Inese quickly intervened and asked permission from the prince to annihilate that entire area.

01:23:21If that was going to be their escape route later, it would be smart to annihilate their defenses

01:23:25while they had the chance. After hearing those words, the princess understood how angry the vice

01:23:30captain was. The royal capital she had vowed to risk her life to protect had been trampled on.

01:23:35Right after, the prince not only permitted her to do it, but he also told her to not hold back.

01:23:40Immediately thereafter, Inese used her full power to destroy the imperial defenses at the border,

01:23:45securing their escape route. Then, Rain told her sister that their actions there would determine the

01:23:49course of the war. They were going to keep pursuing the Emperor even if that took them to the capital,

01:23:54so he asked her if she was ready for that, to which she immediately replied that she was.

01:23:58She had a strong confidence in the power of all the people who were with her,

01:24:02especially her teacher. What she didn't know was that Noor, who looked very calm from afar,

01:24:07had actually passed out. Watch this next video on screen and subscribe to not miss the next part.
