Demon King: Hero, don’t run away!

”What! It’s him, it’s actually him?”

Vorquis’s pupils contracted, his heart stopped, and he found it difficult to accept this result for a moment.

He never thought that the man he met at the All Things Library two years ago would now be stepping on his head.

Clearly, that man’s attributes were nothing to speak of, yet he could become an S-Class adventurer. Why couldn’t he?

Why is this?

Blocked by Vorquis, the onlookers naturally became angry.

A Wild Boar Man couldn’t help it, placed his hand on Vorquis’s shoulder, and spoke:

”If you’re going to watch, watch properly. Follow the rules, don’t block us.”

In response to the Wild Boar Man, Vorquis gave a murderous look.

With a ”slap,” Vorquis slapped away the dirty hand that grabbed his cloak,

”Don’t touch me so casually!”

”You brat.”

Convinced he was right, Vorquis acted arrogantly. The Wild Boar Man couldn’t tolerate this and immediately clenched his fist, aiming it at Vorquis.

At the critical moment, Princess Eena jumped in front of Vorquis, offering a bag of money in her hand:

”I’m sorry. Our captain has been in a bad mood lately. I’m apologizing on his behalf. Here is compensation money. Also, please be careful. If his mood turns for the worse, he might draw his sword directly... You probably don’t know the gap in strength, right? We don’t want to become wanted criminals..... So, please forgive us, forgive us.”

Looking at Princess Eena’s flower-like smile and recalling Vorquis’s previous glare, the Wild Boar Man snorted coldly, grabbed the Gold Coins in Princess Eena’s hand, and squeezed through the crowd.

Vorquis continued to lean on the bulletin board, repeatedly confirming the names and appearances on the list.

Indeed, there was no mistake. The leader of this newly formed S-Class adventure group was the man who had shamed him at the All Things Library.

He dared to give the adventure group such an arrogant name.

Just as I’d like, next time we meet, I’ll make sure he eats some dirt.

Vorquis secretly made up his mind.

Just then, a large hand rested on Vorquis’s left shoulder again.

A deep voice echoed within the adventurer’s guild:

”You let that person go, but I won’t let this go. Didn’t your mother teach you any manners?”

Vorquis’s beloved cloak was crumpled, and he turned back viciously, only to see a pair of Dragon Eyes emanating pressure, and a nearly two-meter man gripping his shoulder with a hand covered in dragon scales.

Adventurers surrounding the bulletin board made way; they knew that this person, without much doubt, stood at the pinnacle of all adventurers.

Vorquis, clearly unaware of the man’s identity, glared at him: ”Do you know who I am?”

Vorquis’s defiant gaze clashed with the man’s, wanting to brush off the man’s hand, but the man’s arm continued to clutch tightly onto his shoulder, crumpling his cloak, seemingly ready to crush his shoulder into fragments at any moment.

”I don’t care who you are.

Here in the Dragon God Evaluation Country, you must follow the basic rules and respect others.

If you insist on going your own way, I will forcibly expel you from the Changliu River.”

”Just you?”

Vorquis was now over level eighty, almost reaching ninety, and among his peers, he was a standout, with his Strength Attribute exceeding 4000.

He believed that with his power, the man in front of him wasn’t anything to fear.

However... In the next moment...

When Vorquis checked the man’s panel, he was dumbfounded.

What a joke!

Why is his level so high! His attributes are unbelievable?

What’s more important, he looks only a few years older than me.

I am the protagonist.....

Vorquis had to admit that with his current self, he couldn’t defeat Glantham.

But that doesn’t mean he can’t win in the future; he is a Hero after all.

As a Hero, it’s only natural to have the protagonist’s halo, capable of defeating any enemy with it...

But the protagonist’s halo also has limitations; against such unbeatable foes, chances are it also won’t work.

Clicking his tongue, Vorquis lowered his head, planning to quietly turn and leave.

Who knew, Glantham’s hand firmly clutched Vorquis’s shoulder, refusing to let Vorquis go,

”Before you leave, don’t you have anything to say?”

Vorquis knew what Glantham wanted him to say. Vorquis wanted to outright refuse, but under Glantham’s oppression, he could only put on a stern face and apologize:

”I’m sorry.”

As soon as Vorquis’s words were uttered, Glantham’s hand loosened, and Vorquis quickly pulled his shoulder from Glantham’s hand, swiftly leaving this place of trouble.

Watching Vorquis go, Glantham shook his head silently, returning his gaze to the bulletin board.

An S-Class adventure group with no background, main activities unknown, first registered in the Trun Republic, originally registered as D-Class adventurers, and within two years, they led their group to clear three Super Large Mazes..... Truly gifted and extraordinary.

I wonder if I’ll see him at the upcoming Dragon God Conference.

The preliminary rounds of the Dragon God Conference begin in August, with the official matches in October.

Currently, their names are absent from the issued invitations.

To enter the official competition, you must pass through the narrow path of the preliminary rounds with the masses.

Gathering the information from the bulletin board into his mind, Glantham turned and left the adventurer’s guild.

Soon, the Dragon God Conference will begin, and the Dragon God Evaluation Country will gradually become lively.

Boys and girls from all over the world will gather in one place, ready to showcase their talents.

Glantham awaits the arrival of that day with eager anticipation.

As he imagined, the young boys and girls who received invitations are slowly awaiting the arrival of the Dragon God Conference.

In one place, an elderly man leads his Fish-dragon Clan disciple and other participants crossing the sea.

Somewhere, a girl with a famous sword is searching frantically for the path to the Dragon God Evaluation Country.

Elsewhere, a young boy proudly admires his masterpiece after assembling a Magic Cube.

Another place, a girl gently tosses four pieces of Candy up, picks a red one, and places the remaining three into a bottle, saving them for next time.

Somewhere, a girl is undergoing modifications in nutrient fluid under the watchful gaze of an Enchanting Demon.

Elsewhere, a lion-eared boy is honing his will under a waterfall.

...

...

Finally, at the All Things Library, Yang Yu is battling various characters at the library with his team.

Time flows like a river, gently passing by, and soon it’s August.
