Surrounded by people, trusted by people, and expected by people.
They rush to help when people cry for help, and fight desperately when the world is in danger.
Always follow your own will, and always be the best man.
A lighthouse in the darkness, hope in despair.
That's what a hero is.
Actually, it's pretty good.
Eugene harbored no ill will towards Bell. While watching the anime, he was only slightly annoyed by Bell's excessive kindness, but otherwise quite liked him.
He too fought his way up, enduring one harsh trial after another, constantly growing stronger from the brink of defeat.
Finally, he became a figure of great public interest.
"But, it's a pity."
Eugene silently recited this in his mind.
A hero can only lead for one moment.
However, they were unable to lead an era.
People trust you because of your strength.
You can stand in front of everyone, but you can't stand on top of everyone.
To come from the masses and to return to the masses—that is a hero.
Emerging from the masses and standing among all living beings—this is the emperor!
What Eugene wants to be is not a leader standing in front of people, but a supreme ruler sitting on the peak and commanding the world!
The ideas of the Dragon Kingdom over thousands of years have influenced Eugene. In this chaotic world where strength reigns supreme, he has no choice but to fight for that position!
That absolute authority that is the only one who is above kings, officials, generals, lords, and guild leaders!
He wanted to be the only one in this divided world whose power on earth surpassed everything else, even the gods!
I want to be the emperor!
The Emperor of the World!
Orario, Lachia, the Far East, the Great Forest, Dragon Valley... all under the heavens is the king's land.
No matter what kind of power they are, they must obey my orders.
No matter what kind of monster it is, it must grovel before me!
Even if it is the most powerful clan in the world.
Even the one-eyed black dragon, the strongest monster in history known as a living calamity and a living nightmare!
Eugene's body tensed up.
For a time, dragons and phoenixes danced!
……
at the same time.
The underground city, the eighteenth floor, Rivera Town.
The adventurers who live here year-round are rarely interested in things happening on the surface due to their lack of access to information.
Lately, there's only one thing that's really capturing their attention!
That was the earth-shattering battle that took place in the boss room on the seventeenth floor about a week ago!
Even through the thick crystal dome, one could feel the intensity of the battle.
Based on past experience, it was definitely not a battle between Goliath and an ordinary adventurer.
Because when Loki's Familia ventured deep into the underground city, they had already defeated that giant once.
Logically speaking, it shouldn't be possible for Goliath to appear on the day of the final battle.
But just before, someone witnessed a large mass of extremely malevolent black flesh rapidly forming inside the crystal wall known as the "Wall of Sighs".
As if summoned by something, it grew wildly outwards, its bones and blood almost breaking through the wall at one point.
But at that crucial moment, it lost its goal and returned to silence.
That kind of thing was something that people had never heard of or seen before.
From this, they guessed that one of the two sides that fought that day must be the monster born from that mass of black flesh!
Sometimes, you have to admire the reasoning abilities of the big guys.
Since the fight between Eugene and Gran, some people have gone to the scene to watch it.
Eugene's sea of fire was quite unique; the characteristics of the flames were very similar to those of a hellhound, but its range and power far exceeded those of a hellhound.
This group of chattering people got together, racked their brains, and actually guessed it correctly.
Mysterious fire-breathing man and black monster.
This battle was named as such.
Although it was ambiguous, both sides did indeed bet correctly.
The town has been abuzz with discussion these past few days because of that massive battle.
Everyone has a different attitude.
Eugene remained silent on the matter.
He remained the same taciturn man, keeping to himself and attracting no attention.
Until this day.
From the entrance on the nineteenth floor, a large number of figures appeared in the field of vision, accompanied by a noisy commotion.
People's attention was instantly captured!
They are the Loki Familia!
After launching their expedition, they overcame numerous obstacles and successfully reached the fiftieth floor of the dungeon! They completed their mission perfectly!
During the process, we defeated the two-headed dragon Amphisbyna on floor 27, the skeleton king Udeos on floor 37, and the cyclops Balor on floor 49, whose abilities are expected to reach level 7!
The battle was long and arduous, but under the leadership of the three elders of the clan, they successfully returned!
Due to the Dark Ages, this is the first expedition of its kind in the last decade.
"Hey! Loki Familia! You've really gotten that deep!?"
"What does Udeos look like? And Barol?"
"Hey everyone, come take a break at my shop! I'll give you a discount!"
People excitedly crowded around him, showering him with concern and care.
At this point, the Loki Familia were no longer seen as easy prey, but as true heroes.
After all, that's fifty floors!
The land is teeming with level 4 super-powerful magical beasts, and there are even quite a few level 5 monsters.
According to the guild, the total area of the dungeon is already larger than that of Orario by around the 40th floor.
Fifty floors was a sight they could not even imagine.
Among the large Loki Familia force, there were many level 2.3 young people.
Their ability to reach the fiftieth floor with their families, a feat that even their elders wouldn't dare dream of, is both enviable and admirable.
This is the power of a large family uniting together!
"Hey! Finn, it's all thanks to you again this time!"
Bos, the burly man who was nominally the mayor of Rivera and had witnessed Rivera's three destructions and rebuildings, walked toward the blond, blue-eyed little man.
Finn the Brave, the absolute core and leader of the Loki Familia.
With his outstanding strategies, the Loki clan achieved great success time and time again, and was invincible.
"Ah, overall it went quite smoothly this time." Finn looked like a child, but his tone was very mature: "The younger generation of children are very obedient and easy to manage."
Outsiders might not know, but Pers knew that this person was his peer.
The two were about the same age, but one was already a giant known to everyone in Orario, while he could only stay on this safe floor and make a living as a black market merchant.
Comparing yourself to others will only make you miserable.
The two chatted over drinks, and naturally the conversation turned to recent events.
"A black monster? A fire-breathing man?"
After listening to Pers's account, Finn's eyes narrowed slightly.
It was something I had never heard of before.
Could there be some connection between these two things and the anomalies they discovered at a deeper level?
.......
I like the 75 White Ladle, and I also like robbery!
Everything was normal for the Loki Familia until they reached the fiftieth floor.
Apart from the ferocious monsters, nothing was beyond expectations.
After defeating the Cyclops Barrow and reaching the safe floor on the fiftieth floor.
There, they discovered a large number of new types of monsters that the guild had never recorded before.
A powerful and durable swarm of blue worms in large numbers!
These insects were extremely dangerous and almost caught Loki's clan off guard.
Inside their bodies, Finn and his companions discovered magic stones unlike any other monsters in the dungeon.
It was a stone that exuded a foul aura and felt completely unfamiliar to people.
An ominous aura had seeped into what appeared to be a normal magic stone.
