The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　To this day, adventurers can no longer discern exactly what property damage the dragon caused. All that matters is that everyone knows it attacked the town and did bad things.

　Upon learning of the dragon's existence, the townspeople were filled with fear and unease. However, since no one reported dying or any place being destroyed, their anxiety remained merely a matter of "unease in their hearts."

　But about a week ago, the dragon attacked the town once again.

　But on that occasion, some people in the town seemed to have foreseen its return. Therefore, they laid a trap, waiting to launch an attack as soon as it appeared.

　Thus, the battle began.

　The black dragon's breath corroded the city walls, and the aftershocks of the flames burned through the streets, causing countless residents in that area to flee in tears and screams.

　The dead and wounded began to appear, and their numbers increased.

　The "Heavenly Net" used to capture the black dragon was easily broken, and the warriors who participated in the dragon-slaying battle were almost all killed or wounded.

　The black dragon's roar shook the night sky, and fear spread like wildfire. It wasn't until many adventurers stepped forward that the nearly frenzied black dragon was successfully driven back.

　But everyone knows it will come again!

　At this point, it would be pointless to investigate why the black dragon attacked the town.

　Because of that evil dragon, a corner of the town was reduced to ruins, and countless people were killed or injured.

　Humans cannot forgive dragons.

　And the dragon clearly failed to find what it wanted. It had attacked the town twice in an attempt to reclaim that very thing.

　But nobody knows what that thing actually is.

　No one suggested finding the item and handing it over to him, or trying to persuade him to give up.

　In fact, if that day had come before, there might have been a possibility of communication. Now that night has passed, any further communication is meaningless. After that, ordinary residents began to flee, while adventurers gathered in ever-growing numbers.

　Dragons are powerful and terrifying.

　However, if one succeeds in slaying the dragon, one can also gain corresponding honors.

　Moreover, there is a legend here that bathing in dragon blood can help one advance to the hidden class "Dragonblood Warrior".

　Those who wanted to become stronger, to gain honor, and to greedily seek the dragon's treasure all gathered in this town.

　In addition, there were naturally many people who came to watch the spectacle.

　And today, the "hero" that adventurers have been waiting for has finally arrived!

　Little did they know that there were two "hero candidates" who had come to this town.

　The young man carrying the black iron greatsword was named "Rog".

　Once Robert had made up his mind, he focused on eating and drinking and didn't participate in anything else.

　Meanwhile, a "Hero Candidate" named "Rog" begins to gather companions. The response is overwhelming.

　This is only natural, after all, who wouldn't want to follow the "hero" and get a "dragon slayer" title?

　However, Rogue only gathered core companions who could fight alongside him. So in the end, he only carefully selected a few powerful adventurers.

　As Robert watched, he realized that he was still in danger on his own—if he were to die before Rogge could successfully slay the dragon, his trial mission would fail.

　So after Rogge gathered his companions, he too began searching for companions. But what kind of companions could an unknown boy like him find? Those he admired didn't like him, and those he disliked didn't like him either. Finally, he couldn't help but reveal that he was also a "hero candidate," but no one believed him.

　Even those adventurers who clearly seemed very experienced gave him a "naive" rating so casually, which infuriated him.

　The adventurers agreed to join Rogue's party to "slay the dragon" early the next morning.

　Left with no other choice, Robert had to stay overnight.

　That same evening.

　The black dragon attacked the town for the third time!

　The residents near the area destroyed during the Black Dragon's second attack on the town have all been evacuated, so there's no need to worry about large-scale civilian casualties this time.

　Once the sentry spotted the black dragon approaching at high speed, he immediately sounded the alarm.

　The adventurers and city guards, who were fast asleep, were immediately awakened and rushed to the west of the city as quickly as possible.

　Robert hurriedly dressed and jumped out of the window.

　Then he saw "Hero" Rogge, fully dressed, leading his team forward.

　"You didn't take your clothes off, did you?"

　Robert made a comment and quickly followed suit.

　Then, for the first time in his life, he saw a real black dragon with his own eyes! Although there were mages among the previous graduates of St. Marian Academy who were skilled in using the "Black Dragon" deck, the magical spirit was never the same as the "real thing."

　Robert faced the dragon's might head-on and was immediately filled with fear.

　He glanced around and saw that even the adventurers who had been clamoring to slay the dragon were trembling in fear under the dragon's might.

　Only "Hero Candidate" Rogge led the team forward, fearlessly charging towards the furiously roaring black dragon.

　The battle to slay the dragon has officially begun!

　"And then?" Witt couldn't help but ask.

　Robert's expression darkened slightly at this point, but he continued, "That black dragon's strength exceeded expectations..."

　It's impossible to tell from appearance alone whether the black dragon is a pure-blooded giant dragon, but in any case, it is extremely terrifying.

　"Hero" Rogge and his companions were very brave, but they fell one by one in the fierce battle.

　When the winds of death blew, the adventurers fled in panic.

　In the end, only Robert, who originally only wanted to "pass the level lying down," was left, and he walked forward against the flow of people.

　Many adventurers he had spoken with earlier advised him to flee. But he merely smiled slightly, a glint of light in his eyes, drew his sword, and walked away, gradually immersing himself in the heroic and tragic spirit of "I will go even if there are thousands of people against me." He was not afraid; after all, this was a trial world where even if one died, one would not truly die.

　He was even excited about the current situation. Because the true "hero" always appears last.

　When another "hero," Rogge, was knocked away by the enraged black dragon's claw, he suddenly accelerated, dragging the "Dragon-Slaying Holy Sword" backward as he charged forward. He then leaped onto the steps, onto the roof, and into the sky, where he swung the Holy Sword at the black dragon!

　"Robert, the 'Hero,' reporting for duty!"

　However, Robert did not describe the scene in its entirety.

Chapter 1351 Robert is not a hero (6k)

　In terms of his own strength, Robert in the Trial World is not actually that strong.

　Even "Hero" Rogge is stronger than him.

　But Robert possesses the "Dragon-Slaying Holy Sword," which allows him to unleash many times the power when facing dragons.

　The black dragon's breath could not corrode the blade of the "Dragon-Slaying Holy Sword," and the hard dragon scales could not stop its sharpness.

　Robert leaped into the sky, slicing through the dragon's breath, and wings of light sprouted from his back as he flew toward the black dragon.

　The long-awaited sword strike severed one of the black dragon's horns. Then, he was sent flying by the other horn! The tip of that horn pierced his abdomen, instantly inflicting a severe wound. But the excruciating pain vanished almost as soon as it began.

　The priests in Rogue's team quickly cast "Pain Relief" and "Healing" spells on him.

　Robert's injuries had fully healed, and he couldn't help but smile gratefully at the pastor. She was a beautiful female pastor with a sweet smile.

　Robert's heart pounded wildly, and for a moment he felt like he had fallen in love at first sight.

　But after casting another healing spell on him, the female priest immediately turned her attention back to the "hero" Rogge.

　The "hero" Rogge, who had been sent flying by the black dragon's claw, had now regrouped.

　Robert's sudden intervention halted Black Dragon's further pursuit, giving Roger time to regroup.

　Although a huge claw mark was left on his chest, no blood flowed out of it.

　The reason for this is that the black iron greatsword he wields is called "Undying Glory," which grants him an undying characteristic similar to that of the undead.

　No matter how many blood vessels rupture, the blood will not be lost. No matter how many pieces of bone are cut, they can still be pieced together and used.

　Even if his head is cut off, he can simply be put back on his neck and continue to speak.

　Moreover, the "Undying Glory" is a holy sword of the light attribute, and its ability not only does not reject light attribute healing spells, but also provides a healing bonus.

　Therefore, even if Rogge is covered in wounds, he will not fall down. He only needs to cast a healing spell to recover completely.

　Although he appears slender, he is actually a powerful warrior.

　Its immense strength and immortal body made it invincible in previous battles.

　This time, however, he faced a terrifyingly powerful black dragon, and his prized physical strength paled in comparison to the dragon's true form. Even as he charged forward time and again, he couldn't inflict the slightest harm on the dragon.

　This made him almost believe that he was doomed to fail completely. It wasn't until Robert suddenly joined the battle and severed the black dragon's horn with a single sword strike that he finally saw a glimmer of hope for victory.

　"Although I don't know your name, since you possess the Holy Sword, you must be a hero candidate like me."

　"Your holy sword is very powerful. With the two of us working together, we can slay a dragon!" Roger said in a deep voice, quickly finished speaking, and then raised the black iron greatsword horizontally and charged towards the black dragon again.

　Robert paused for a moment, but then quickly followed. This exchange had made it very clear to him that the idea of ​​winning by simply waiting was no longer possible. Neither he nor Roger alone could accomplish this dragon-slaying mission.

　To pass this trial, he had no choice but to team up with Rogue. Although he felt inexplicably annoyed with this "candidate for hero," he had to endure it to complete the trial.

　Robert quickly convinced himself and began to join forces with Roger to fight the enemy. The two of them, one focusing on offense and the other on defense, cooperated flawlessly and soon successfully inflicted real and effective damage on the terrifying black dragon.

　Seeing that their collaboration was effective, both Robert and Roger became excited.

　They seemed to have already foreseen the moment of successfully slaying the dragon.

　Then, with the help of Rogge's other companions, the two "hero candidates" became more and more courageous in battle, and their teamwork in fighting together became more and more excellent.

　"What's your name?" Robert suddenly asked.

　“Rogge! Just call me Rogge!” Rogge’s voice was also unusually loud.

　Suddenly, Robert saw a bit of Werther in him, and his initial "unexplained displeasure" vanished completely, and he even developed a growing fondness for him.

　"Roar!"

　The black dragon's roar was tinged with sorrow, but humans who already regarded it as an enemy could not empathize with it.

　Robert leaped high behind Rogge, his wings of light carrying him into the sky. The "Dragon-Slaying Holy Sword," radiating intense white light, transformed into a massive blade of light. It cleaved down as if tearing space apart, severing the black dragon's left wing!

　Although the black dragon, having lost its left wing, did not fall from the sky, it instantly lost its balance.

　Robert immediately pressed his advantage, but the enraged black dragon had already opened its massive jaws toward his location.

　"boom!"

　A thick, dark breath spewed out from that enormous mouth.

　The figure of "Hero" Rogge suddenly appeared in front of Robert, and the "Immortal Glory" that was as large as a door blocked the dragon's breath that was coming straight at him.

　Robert had a sudden inspiration and immediately gathered his strength.

　Just as the dragon's breath was about to dissipate, a huge, sharp dragon claw emerged from the remaining breath and stomped down fiercely.

　Roger narrowed his eyes and quickly stepped aside.

　Behind him, Robert's "Dragon-Slaying Holy Sword" was shining brightly.

　A flash of sword light appeared.

　One of the black dragon's claws was cut off in half.

　With its wings and claws destroyed, the black dragon's combat power plummeted, and it even lost the possibility of escaping.

　As the battle progressed, Robert and Roger's performance was impeccable, pushing the previously invincible black dragon to the brink of death.

　As the fleeing adventurers watched the tide of battle turn and the black dragon seemed poised to be slain, greed gleamed in their eyes. More and more turned back, feigning participation in the final assault on the black dragon.

　The black dragon's roar gradually weakened, and the battle was clearly drawing to a close.

　Robert and Roger, who successfully slay the dragon, will become famous, and even the adventurers will get a share of the spoils.

　The atmosphere in the town instantly shifted from extreme panic to great joy.

　The people were no longer afraid. They turned around and looked at the black dragon that had fallen to the ground from afar, cheering with joy.

　After the black dragon is killed, the town will become a "Dragon-Slaying Town," and everything will be better than before.

　As the saying goes, "When a whale falls, all things come to life," the death of a giant dragon can bring such enormous benefits.

　"Ouch——"

　As the black dragon stretched its neck and howled in the direction of the town center, the sky was already beginning to lighten.

　The battle to slay the dragon, which began at night and lasted until dawn, is finally coming to an end.
