An Extra’s POV

'This man… he's strong!'

As Conrad looked at the Adventurer known as Ralyks, he couldn't help but wonder why he had never heard of this man before.

His strength was too overwhelming.

'I can't believe he actually defeated a Dragon Commander all by himself. There doesn't even seem to be a scratch on him!'

Conrad already began to suspect that this man wasn't human.

As someone who was a leader of the humans, he knew fully well what their limits were.

Ralyks had long exceeded it.

But… did that really matter at all to Conrad?

NO!

'I don't care if he's an Elf or a Demon or whatever. What matters is if he's on our side.'

And that was what he intended to ensure.

"Sir Ralyks, perhaps we could meet at a much grander place and discuss the details of this Royal Dungeon Raid that you are suggesting."

Conrad needed more time to sort through his thoughts, and he also knew better than to disturb a man after he just slayed a Dragon.

The best thing to do was allow breathing space between each other, while ensuring they could maintain contact.

'The Otherworlders are still in their budding stages, so while they will inevitably reach—or maybe even surpass Sir Ralyks' strength—they're still not there yet.'

That meant, pending the time of their growth, humanity had to find a champion to rely on.

Conrad really hoped it would be this Dark Adventurer.

"We shall see about that. Perhaps we should meet in a week's time. You should have sorted through all of the issues at that point."

Conrad controlled his expression, but he was slightly taken aback that Ralyks had figured out the rationale behind him postponing their discourse on the Royal Dungeon.

'I already suspected this from our first encounter, but this man isn't just strong. He's smart too.'

He was an invaluable asset that humanity could not afford to lose!
