Unfortunate Hero's Retirement Life

Chapter 37: Truth Behind The Dungeon

Kang Seo Yeon closer her eyes as she had given up. She closed her eyes for a while, but the fireball supposed to be hit her did not come. She only felt a little heat on her skin.

Slowly she opened her eyes. The prince in her heart had his left hand raised up and she saw the flame was enveloped them. However, there was something transparent blue that covered them and prevented the flame to reach her.

Kang Seo Yeon in a daze as she looked the handsome man before her. A man in his early twenties already grew this strong, admiration and love bloomed inside her heart

"So this is the feeling of falling in love"

Kang Seo Yeon muttered in a daze, but then she noticed the man's left hand brightened. Upon closer look, she found it was a smartwatch. The smartwatch brightened up and it turned into a black screen afterward.

"Mister, your smartwatch is broken!" She blurted out.

Even though the unknown transparent blue protected them from the flame, but Kang Seo Yeon still could feel the heat. It was extremely hot and maybe, the smartwatch could not handle the high temperature so it broke.

The man that appeared always calm and smiling gently stiffened instantly after hearing Kang Seo Yeon's reminder. He pulled his left hand and at the same time, the blazing flame also went out.

Then he put the smartwatch before his face to face scan. He tried a few times, but the smartwatch had no response. He tried to unlock the smartwatch manually, but he could not.

The smartwatch stayed on the black screen. No matter what he did, the smartwatch had no response. There was no doubt, the smartwatch really broke.

"Arghhhhh! My smartwaaaaatttchhhh!!!" Heero screamed hysterically. Yes, the man who saved Kang Seo Yeon was Heero.

This was his first smartwatch, a smartwatch worth of 50,000 WD. The thing he could not get by himself. Even after working for almost five months, he still could not get this smartwatch.

He got one now, but it was broken just like that. He still could not even fully use it yet. Heero looked at the broken smartwatch on his wrist, it was as if he had lost something important in his life.

"WHOOOO???!!!"

Heero looked up, there was a big winged lizard hovered in the sky. He pulled his spear out, the gauze that wrapped around the spear burned and showed the spear's appearance.

It was a pitch-black spear, despite its black color, it was glowing under the sunray. Heero held the spear with his two hands, the air around Heero suppressed, and yellow lighting stroke out from Heero's body.

The winged lizard seemed to be realized that the person with a spear was stronger than it. It could feel it only by the dreadful aura, it felt from the human.

The winged turned around, it did not care whether the human infiltrated its territory or not. For now, it just wanted to run away from the dreadful human.

"Heh, there's no way I will let you run away, this damned lizard!!!!"

Bzzzt! Bzzzt! Bzzzt!

The yellow lightning became even more intense. With a dreadful yet also dark smile, Heero launched the technique he learned from Saint.

"Thundering Thrust!'

Swoosh!

Heero figure vanished and created a strike of lighting to the sky.

Boom!

The big winged lizard fell with a big hole in its belly. Hot air steamed out from the hole and the winged lizard stopped breathing.

Kang Seo Yeon, she was the nearest to Heero. The aura released by Heero, she was the person most affected by it. The strong aura which was making her could not move her body. It was as if the gravity around her increased by several folds.

Kang Seo Yeon shocked by such an aura. But it did not stop there, the flash move that killed a big winged lizard shocked her more. His eyes could not catch Heero's movement, it was just a flash of lightning.

'Without a doubt, this man is at Emperor Class.'

The doubt in her heart cleared, not on he was handsome, but also strong. Kang Seo Yeon looked at the man with a black coat descended right on the top of the winged lizard's body.

She was sure that she would never forget this moment. The moment of her savior magnificently killed the winged lizard, this picture was engraved in her heart.

But this moment was broken with a furious roar from the man in the black coat himself.

"YOU DAMNED LIZARD, how dare you to break my smartwatch! DAMNED LIZARD, I will not spare even in your dead body!!!"

Then, Heero began dismantling the winged lizard. This winged lizard actually was Hover Flame, a level 7 beast. Its body was full of precious material, even better than Alluni Lizard.

The teeth, the two horns, and the claws were good material for the blacksmith. Its hide also could be used to make armor, an armor with high resistance to fire. The tail's meat of Hover Flame was also a delicacy.

Heero began dismantling the whole Hover Flame as he cursed at it. Sometimes, he would kick the dead Hover Flame to vent his frustration for losing the smartwatch.

Meanwhile, Kang Seo Yeon looked at Heero with a dumbfounded look. She wanted to say something, but there were no words came out from her mouth.

After dismantling Hover Flame, Heero went back to the girl he saved. Still, with an unpleasant mood, Heero scanned the red-haired women. Her face was not clear, but her red hair was telling her she was his purpose for coming here.

Actually, he got Kang Seo Yeon's picture in his smartwatch, but the smartwatch was broken. Heero could not confirm if the red-haired woman was Kang Seo Yeon.

Meanwhile, Kang Seo Yeon was nervous being stared at by her prince. Yes, she totally regarded the man before her as her prince.

"Are you Kang Seo Yeon?"

When she heard this, Kang Seo Yeon's black eyes were gleaming, she almost pounced on the man as she thought the man came for her. However, she refrained from doing so, less this prince thought her as a loose woman.

Kang Seo Yeon nodded her head, "Yes... I-I am Kang Seo Yeon, "

She stuttered a bit, but it did not discourage her.

'At this time like this, the first impression is the most important' Thought Kang Seo Yeon as she waited for his prince response. She wanted to know her name and waited for him to introduce himself.

"Good, finally I found you. Let's go back."

Heero let out a relieved smile. This place was huge and it took him three days to reach here and found Kang Seo Yeon.

He relieved Kang Seo Yeon was still alive. Kang Myung Hee and Kang Dong Woo certainly would be happy to hear their sister still alive. After confirming the red-haired woman in front of him was Kang Seo Yeon, he turned around.

"Eh?!!" Kang Seo Yeon dumbfounded as she did not get what she wanted. However, she also did not dare to ask. She silently followed the man she did not know.

As she followed Heero, Kang Seo Yeon struggled inside. She was in a dilemma about whether asking her prince's name or not. She wanted to get a good first impression of him, but she also wanted to know about him.

After thinking a while, her prince was equal to Emperor Class, she never heard an Emperor Class in his early twenties. The youngest Emperor Class was from Musashi Clan, Musashi Naizen and he was in his thirty.

Moreover, Naizen was a samurai and his weapon was a sword. Naizen description did not fit with the man in front of her.

'Is he a new Emperor Class?' Thought Kang Seo Yeon.

She was trapped in six months, so she thought during these six months a new Emperor Class was born. However, she immediately denied his thought, because most Emperor Class would get promoted from the Gold Class.

But Kang Seo Yeon recognized the top 10 of Gold Class. This man was not in the top 10 Gold Class. If this man was not a hero, then he must be a ranker.

Kang Seo Yeon came into this conclusion after thinking about all of the possibilities of this man's identity. This man was a ranker and someone requested him to save her from this place.

'Is it father? Or grandpa?'

Nevertheless, the feeling she had for Heero did not reduce even after knowing this man was a ranker. Whether he was a ranker or a hero, she was already fell in love.

'I have to ask his name!!!'

Kang Seo Yeon resolutely took a decision to take an initiative.

'Mister, what's your name?'

'No, no, no. The impact is somewhat lacking. I want to give him an everlasting impression'

'However, I don't know what type of women he likes'

'The wild one? Or maybe cheerful? But he is gentle, maybe he likes a gentle and mature woman?'

'Urghh, with no information, it will be hard to impress him but I want to know his name'

'Nah, let's just act normally and ask his name first. After I get his name, I will slowly look at what type of women he likes'

'Good, let's ask his name first!'

Kang Seo Yeon nodded her head and opened out. But before her voice could come out from her mouth, Heero talked first.

"We've arrived!" The gentle and pleasant voice entered her ears once again. Kang Seo Yeon looked up at the direction Heero pointed out.

It was a camp, a camp of heroes. Kang Seo Yeon immediately recognized a few of them in one glance.

'Finally, I am survived from this bloody place'

She recognized Bai Xin Yue and Huo Liang Xun who were currently talking. The other Gold Class Heroes as well.

"Everyone!!!"

Kang Seo Yeon shouted which alerted the heroes. But upon recognizing the one who screamed was Kang Seo Yeon, they lowered their guard and gathered to Kang Seo Yeon.

There were five women swarmed toward her excitedly. They hugged Kang Seo Yeon excitedly. These five women were her party that got separated. Kang Seo Yeon also happy when she found out her party was unhurt.

"Seo Yeon, we thought you you" amongst the five women, one girl cried.

Kang Seo Yeon rubbed the crying girl's head, "I thought I was going to die, but there's a man saved me"

She pointed her finger to her back, the direction where supposed to be her savior standing. Her party looked in the same direction, but they had a puzzled because there was no one there.

Upon noticing the puzzle on her friend's look, Kang Seo Yeon turned around. The prince she loved was no longer there.

...

As soon as Heero delivered Kang Seo Yeon to the hero's camp, he left. He wanted to confirm whether this place was really Dramonia or not.

Heero explored the one called the dungeon for full one day. The most beasts here were similar to the beasts in Dramonia. Moreover, he found many familiar herbs that could be found in Dramonia as well.

It was completely different from Earth. However, this clue was not enough to prove this place was Dramonia. Until then, Heero found the truth of this place.

After a full day exploring this place, Heero reached the end of this place. Heero stood at the end of this place. In front of him, there was an abyss unfolded. Yes, there was only darkness, no more land. If he moved forward he would fall from the land fell into darkness.

Heero tried to reach his hand out, but there was an invisible barrier prevented him. This meant he could not fall to the abyss before in front of him.

Heero tried to go around by following the invisible barrier. Then he found out this was place was just like an island, an isolated island to be more exact.

An isolated island surrounded by an abyss, but there was also an invisible barrier that protected the creature from falling into the abyss or came out from the isolated island.

The truth behind this dungeon was revealed, this was not Dramonia, but a place similar to Dramonia and also an isolated island. The only way to get away from this isolated island was the stone gate. The gate that led to Earth.
