Unfortunate Hero's Retirement Life

Chapter 61: Dungeon Break

"It's not a dragon, It is just a lizard with wings, Hover Flame! Does this damned lizard now attack the city? What happened to the dungeon?" Heero frowned.

This Hover Flame was bigger than the Hover Flame he hunted before. This Hover Flame was Level 8 Hover Flame. Nebraska Temple classified Level 8 beast as Lord Beast which was meant this Hover Flame was the leader of the Hover Flame.

Hover Flame was supposed to be inside the dungeon, but why did Hover Flame Lord attack the city? What happened to the group of heroes who had been guarded the gate?

Along with the emergency warning he read on Dong Woo's smartwatch and the clues he got. Heero got a gist of what happened, he understood why those rankers ran away, but what about the Hero?

Feng Bian said he was Gold Class Hero, but why did he just run away like that? What happened to the people in the outer region if the heroes supposed to be protecting the people in the outer region?

Heero found there were no differences between heroes and rankers. In the end, whether it was a hero or ranker, they had the same thought regarding the people who lived in the outer region. It was reflected in their action, it just the heroes was not as overbearing as the rankers.

"Zhou Yi! You go to the north gate. You guard the north gate, don't let any beasts enter the city!"

"Bearded Wang! You gather the elderly and the children who could not make their way to the inner region in this district!"

Heero immediately released an order that confused everyone. At this time, evacuating to the inner region was a wise choice.

Even Dong Woo could not believe what he heard, he looked at Teacher Xing with an unbelievable look on his face. After a moment, he snapped out of his shock and immediately urged Teacher Xing to leave with him.

"Teacher Xing, we have to evacuate to the inner region. I have a car waiting for us out of the district, we can make it in time if we go now!"

Hong Yu, Han Ying, and Butcher Wang nodded their heads in agreement. There was no safer place except for the inner region. A place where the heroes and rankers gathered in one place.

Heero shook his head as his lips formed a gentle smile, "No, Dong Woo, we can't leave this place. If we leave the outer city, what would happen to the people who in here? What would happen to the elderly who could not get to the inner region in time? What would happen to the children who were left by their parents to work?"

Here, Heero paused, giving a chance for Dong Woo to respond to him. However, Dong Woo could not give the right response to Heero. He could only look at Heero with a dumbfounded look.

"If we leave, who is going to protect them? It was supposed to be a hero duty, but where are the heroes right now?" Heero added with another question that left Dong Woo fell into deep silence.

He was mused over what Heero said just now and then he realized he could not refute Heero's words.

"But Teacher Xing, It's Level 10 Calamity, it means there are over a hundred Emperor Level Beast attacked the city. We could only run away, facing them is the same a suicide" Dong Woo came up with these words after thinking a while.

He was still thinking that retreated to the inner region was still the wise choice. After all, not all heroes could face Emperor Level Beast.

"I never said the heroes should face the beasts attacked the city or run away is wrong, but at least they should help the people to evacuate, no?" Heero replied with a soft smile.

Dong Woo suddenly came into a sudden realization. Yes, the heroes were supposed to be assisting the people to evacuate. It was one of their duties after all.

However, he found no heroes were thinking of that except for Teacher Xing who was not a hero. The heroes already escaped to the inner region without caring for the people in the outer region.

Even he, the man who aspired to be the greatest hero who surpassed his grandfather, the former Emperor Class Hero could not think of this.

Yes, there was no need for the heroes to face the beast, but they could help the people who needed assistance. Dong Woo felt ashamed inwardly and blushed in shame.

"Good, Master! I will guard the gate with my life!"

At this time, Sun Zhou Yi responded to Heero's instruction. After hearing what his Master said to Dong Woo, he realized there were many people might be left in the outer region. It was a hero job to protect these people.

In the next moment, everyone around there shocked as they witnessed what Heero showed them. He moved his hand into the hair and rift formed in the air. The hand entered the rift and vanished into the darkness.

Heero pulled his hand out, his hand was holding two swords one in silver sheath the other one in a black sheath. There was also a silver halberd in his hand. He tossed the sword to Sun Zhou Yi.

"Here you are, your sword. You will use this sword until you can make your weapon!" After that, he tossed a sword in a silver sheath to Sun Zhou Yi and tossed the sword in a black sheath to Butcher Wang.

Sun Zhou Yi's sword was a long sword that while Butcher Wang's sword was short but wide. Heero had a halberd in his hand.

"Bearded Wang, you will gather the people here. It will be easier to protect them if they gathered in one place!" Heero reminded Butcher Wang once again, but then he turned back and said, "Ah, if you want to evacuate to the inner city is also okay."

After that, Heero walked toward Hong Yu without waiting Butcher Wang gave him a response back.

A gentle smile formed on his lips as he approached Hong Yu. He hugged Hong Yu "Dear, go inside and wait for me, okay?"

Hesitation and worries were so clear in her expression. In fact, she preferred to escape to the inner region. However, she knew Heero well, he would not escape with her even though she tried to persuade him.

Heero also could see the hesitation and worries on his girlfriend's eyes. He smiled softly and said in an assured tone, "Dear, believe me! These beasts would not able to kill me and I will be back, good?"

"Good~" Hong Yu responded in an instant. She had no choice but to believe her boyfriend. Afterward, she planted his lips on Heero's lips. It lasted for dozens of seconds, she kissed Heero with reddened cheeks.

"I will stay here until you come back!" Hong Yu stated in a firm and resolute tone.

The meaning of her words was clear. If Heero failed in his mission, she would die as she did not leave the district.

Heero could also tell that, but there was nothing to worry about. He would not let any beast to enter the city.

"Good" Heero gave his response and he felt someone tugged his clothes. He looked down, Myung Hee and Lan Lan were holding his shirt hem with their small hands.

He released Hong Yu and squatted down, he moved his hand to the air and the rift opened again. He took out a bamboo container and gave it to Lan Lan, "Here, your favorite sweets. You can eat sweets while waiting for me and your father to come back, okay? Teacher Xing wants to hunt some bad beasts outside."

Lan Lan shook her head and pushed the bamboo container back, "No, I-I don't want sweets... I want Teacher Xing to come back, promise? P-promise you will come back?"

After that, Lan Lan offered her pinkie toward Heero to make the promise. Myung Hee also nodded her head and offered her pinkie finger to Heero.

A big smile formed and Heero immediately crossed his pinkie finger to the two little girls' pinkie, "I promise! I will come back!"

"Hmm, Teacher Xing you have made a promise. Like a proper adult, you have to fulfill your promise to come back and give the sweets to us." Lan Lan added with her puppy eyes.

The smile on Heero's face became wider and he immediately hugged the two little girls.

Meanwhile, there was someone watching this scene with envy and jealousy, it was Butcher Wang. He glared at Heero and his daughter with thick of jealousy. He was Lan Lan's father, not Heero, but Lan Lan was more worried to Heero than him, the biological father.

"A phrase blood is thicker than water is wrong. It's totally wrong, it's just a bullsh*t" Butcher Wang muttered in a low voice.

Heero released the two little girls and nodded at Hong Yu. Hong Yu also nodded her head in response.

"I-I will also help!" Suddenly Dong Woo shouted as he raised his right hand.

Heero looked at Dong Woo, he remembered the first meeting between him and Dong Woo. He was indeed stronger than normal people.

He nodded his head, "Good, you help Bearded Wang. Help the people evacuate or bring them to this district!"

"Alright, let's move up!" With that said, Heero jumped to the Butcher Wang's shop in one jump.

Everyone looked up and saw lightning burst out from Butcher Wang's rooftop. After that, they saw a streak of lightning shot toward the giant winged lizard that hovered on top.

Rumble!

Dong Woo had his jaw dropped as he saw the giant dragon was blown away with just a streak of lightning. There was no need to guess, he already knew it was Teacher Xing doing.

Sun Zhou Yi also had the same shocked expression on his face. Awe and admiration were reflected in his eyes. He gripped the sword in his hand tightly and rushed toward the north gate.

Butcher Wang also snapped out of his shock as he noticed Sun Zhou Yi moving up. He slapped Dong Woo's shoulder and said in a sonorous voice of his, "Kid, let's go, we have to do our job as well!"

where Butcher Wang and Dong Woo left. Meanwhile, Yun Xia also came from her office direction. She wanted to evacuate to the inner region.

Blacksmith Huang was breathing hurriedly, it was clear he was coming here in a hurry and out of breath, "Where is Master? We should leave this place!"

Hong Yu, Han Ying, Lan Lan, and Myung Hee pointed their fingers upward simultaneously. Blacksmith Huang looked up and saw there was a small figure flying, attacking the group of Hover Flames.

...

Meanwhile, Sun Zhou Yi was rushing to the north gate. It did not take long for him to reach the gate. The gate was void from people, usually, there were many guards stayed in this gate. It was clear the guards were already evacuated to the inner region.

Sun Zhou Yi approached the gate. There was a small door on the giant gate, he opened the door and came out of the city.

When the sight of the outside city came into his sight, Sun Zhou Yi was shocked and froze on the spot. About 500 meters away from the gate, he saw a horde of beasts charged to his direction.

There were many kinds of beasts, the biggest one reached 10 meters in height and the smallest was about 2 meters in height.

However, he knew his master sending him here not to suicide. He believed Heero sent him here because he was capable to stop this horde of beasts.

Sun Zhou Yi took a deep breath, drew his sword out, and stepped forward with his hand holding the long silver sword.

"COME! I WILL SLAUGHTER ALL OF YOU!!!"
