FFF-Class Trashero-Chapter 369 - [25th Round] MAX-Class Righteous Hero

? Race: United Spirit

? Level: 9999+

? Job: Ascended (Hero = Demon Lord)

? Skills: Gifted ZZZ, Divinity Z, Invention Z, Favoritism MAX, Immortality MAX…

? Status: Dragon Scale

That was my stats when I visited Fugitive Senior.

I could still remember how much we smashed everything there.

My skills back then didn’t stand out in any way, but my new race led to big changes that made it possible to resist even the First Hero.

? Type: Race

? Name: United Spirit

? Rank: Beginner

? Beginner 1: Inherits the life of the Hero.

? Beginner 2: Combines inherited lives.

? Feature 1: The love of the universe fades.

? Race 1: You are a legendary being.

Inheriting the combat experiences of different heroes and gaining an ability not displayed in my Fantasy stats, I became so powerful that I lost the universe’s protection.

That wasn’t all.

I gained true strength by becoming accustomed to high-ranking opponents during my battle against Fugitive Senior and by inheriting the family business from my father-in-law.

Now, before us…

… was that MAX-Class Righteous Hero.

“Attack!”

Satan immediately came to his senses and took control of his subordinates, his commanding abilities manifesting like never before.

“Take this!”

“Blaze!”

“The power of light!”

“Freeze!”

On Luke’s signal, who boasted the longest attack range, the Ranged Damage Dealers initiated their bombardment once more.

“Get to work.”

However…

Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop!

Earth, fire, wind, water, soul!

The spirits that existed throughout the world of Fantasy immediately intervened.

They canceled most of the incoming magic, and projectiles like arrows and spears changed direction due to the dark matter’s spatial distortion surrounding Kang Han Soo’s body.

Paying no heed to the incoming onslaught, he rushed into a full-frontal attack, instantly closing the distance between them and ultimately rendering long-ranged weaponry ineffective!

“Stop him!”

“Push back!”

“Protect the Damage Dealers!”

The Knight King, known to have the highest defense, led the other tanks, blocking their enemy’s path.

Bam!

Without slowing down, Kang Han Soo slammed into the Knight King’s shield and extended his right hand forward, his grip landing between the 6th and 7th of his opponent’s neck as he lost balance due to their collision.

“Kh?!”

“I know all your tricks.”

Crunch!

The limbs of his prey sagged the moment his neck broke, marking the first casualty of Satan’s party.

He then threw his corpse clad in heavy metal armor, turning it into a projectile that targeted the Ranged Damage Dealers.

The Universals caught it before it could do any damage, however.

Unable to inflict much damage on him, the remaining tanks surrounded him instead, holding him in place.

However, the moment they did, Kang Han Soo grabbed the Princess of Darkness with his left hand between her 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae, holding her in front of him like a shield.

The way her dress exposed her attractive waist made her a good target, considering it made it easy to pierce her skin with his bare hands and grab her spine.

“You look pitiful! Haha!”

Smiling, Kang Han Soo rushed through the encirclement of tanks, the number of which had dropped from nine to seven.

Fshuk!

“Aagh!” Struck by an ally’s arrow, she screamed in pain.

She didn’t die thanks to her race’s high vitality, but if they continued to hurt her, she eventually would.

“Ignore her and attack—Kh!”

“Shut up! She’s going to die at this rate!”

“She’s our friend, Thief King!”

“Don’t you dare say that again!”

The Thief King tried to make a cold-blooded decision, but the Darkness Dragon King, Bandit King, and the Assassin King opposed him before he could even finish.

However, the Wind Knight, who secretly admired the Knight King, burst into tears and prepared to fire an arrow. Moreover, the Heavenly Demon, uninterested in other people’s love affairs, stepped forward.

“Don’t fall for the boss’s tricks!”

Satan remained indifferent as well, continuing to issue commands.

At the same time, he didn’t say, “Forget the Princess of Darkness,” knowing full well nobody would follow a hero who abandoned his comrades.

Even in such a situation, he kept their battle formation intact.

He was prepared to make sacrifices from the very beginning. He kept them alive to ensure he’d clear the 90th floor even at the cost of their lives, after all.

“Ha!”

“Die!”

“Here I come!”

The Universals and Melee Damage Dealers boldly made their way to Kang Han Soo.

Under normal circumstances, they would’ve fought cautiously while under the tanks’ protection, but Kang Han Soo’s equipment and movements were similar to them, who neglected their own defenses.

Hence, they took this as an opportunity.

The Brawl King attacked first, but even though his footwork was unmatched…

“Huh?!”

He was the first to die in their subgroup simply because he momentarily hesitated to punch through the Princess of Darkness’s beautiful face.

Bang!

That slight opening was all Kang Han Soo needed.

The situations that followed after that weren’t much different.

He quickly switched to other shields as soon as the blades of the Princess of Darkness’s comrades killed her.

Aqua, Heavenly Swordsman, Pirate Queen, Sylvia…

Most of them were women who openly displayed their navels as if to say, “Please grab my spine.”

Of course, he didn’t always succeed.

“Be sure to win…”

BAM!

The moment he grabbed the Ice Princess between her 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae, she self-destructed.

As she swiftly froze, he was left with no other choice but to instantly remove his hand from her beautiful spine.

“Princess!”

“No!”

Moved by her sacrifice, they immediately seized the gap she gave them.

Rendered shieldless, he failed to block all of their attacks and even missed for the first time.

“Haha! What an unexpected turn of events. The Ice Princess wasn’t known to sacrifice herself for the sake of others. She was a hundred times more powerful than I remember, too. Hey Hero B, can you tell me how you strengthened her?”

Plik. Plik. Plik.

Blood dripped from his wounds as he spoke.

My past self didn’t like empty talks, so he most likely opened a conversation to catch his breath.

But Satan didn’t give him the rest he so desired.

“Everyone! Attack now! Don’t let the Ice Princess’s sacrifice be in vain!”

“He’s exhausted!”

“Let’s finish him off!”

“I will never forgive you!”

He challenged the 90th-floor boss with eighty-one people, but Kang Han Soo swiftly reduced their number to forty-eight.

Naturally, their overall combat power also decreased.

At that point, Satan realized he wouldn’t be able to reach the 100th floor if they couldn’t finish this fight right now, and the rest of his companions shared the same thoughts.

Therefore, they didn’t give their opponent any time to breathe.

“… Vile power of friendship. I will trample on it with the power of justice!”

Clink!

Throwing away the sword he stole from the Heavenly Swordsman, Kang Han Soo showed them the Righteous Hero’s smile.

Fshuh!

And the Righteous Hero’s Wings soon grew on his back, marking the beginning of a massacre.

Launching the spikes growing from his wings, he obliterated everyone in his path.

It was as if he was firing a machine gun at an infantry battalion marching recklessly across the plains.

“Aaahhhh!”

“How?!”

“Kh!”

During that barrage, “Adam” also came under attack, allowing me to skillfully “leave” the battlefield and prepare to meet the Hero on the 100th floor in case he could break through Kang Han Soo.

My “death” wouldn’t matter even if Satan fell on the 90th floor, considering his inspection would be over by then anyway.

For now, however, his struggle continued. 𝐟𝙧ee𝔀e𝐛𝓃𝐨𝚟𝑒𝗹.c𝗼𝚖

“He was counting on it!”

“Is this his final attack?”

“N-no. Take a look!”

“His wounds are closing…”

“Without the help of a saintess?”

Kan Han Soo’s body, which had assimilated Master Mollan’s teachings, grew independent of Fantasy skills.

Therefore, any Fantasy skills that interfered with his natural wound regeneration didn’t work against him at all. After all, sharks from the sea couldn’t attack rabbits on land.

“Do not panic! This is the same as General Chromatigius’s ability to ignore status!”

Hero Satan didn’t give up. 𝗳𝓇ℯe𝓌𝚎𝚋𝓃𝚘𝚟𝘦𝑙.𝑐𝚘𝙢

Their opponent’s surprise attack destroyed their scouts and support, but their party’s most powerful fighters, along with the Saintesses, survived.

Heavenly Demon, Eve, Sword King, Sage, Nasus, Wind Dragon King, Earth Dragon King, Black Dragon King, Light Dragon King, Darkness Dragon King, Divine Dragon King, Ice Dragon King, Snow Queen, Heavenly Dragon King, Saintess C, Saintess E, Bananael, Potatoel, Green Cake.

Twenty-one people remained, including Satan!

Less than 10 minutes into the battle, 60 people had already been killed, but it was still too early to conclude their defeat.

Guuuuu!

Wooooo!

Shhhh!

The Dragon Kings canceled their transformation and returned to their original forms.

They fought in human form to not hurt their own, but now that they’re on the verge of utter annihilation, they couldn’t afford to hold themselves back any longer.

Fshuh!

The Dragon Kings let the vulnerable Sage, Eve, and the Saintesses climb onto their backs and, flapping their wings, took to the air.

Bananael also soared, wielding the deceased Bow God’s bow, and Potatoel followed the Dragon Kings with the late Spear King’s weapon.

Satan, Heavenly Demon, Green Cake, Sword King Haris, and Nasus were left on the ground.

Five of their strongest combatants charged towards their mutual foe.

“Not bad, Hero B. Not bad at all!”

Kang Han Soo enjoyed this moment.

He knew he was “fake” from the moment he woke up on the toilet.

After all, Captain Fantasy, Holy Sword Nucleon, Saintess H, First Spirit, and Ssosia, the people who were always with him, had disappeared.

It didn’t matter, though.

Nature itself whispered to him, allowing him to quickly realize everything.

“Did you succeed, real me?”

“Yes. I swallowed Fantasy.”

“So I’m not just a teaching aid in the hands of the director.”

“It doesn’t change your essence.”

“How’s mom?”

“In perfect health.”

“That’s great to hear.”

Watching their fight, I answered him sincerely.

“Now!”

Fshuh!

The five warriors surrounding and pressuring Kang Han Soo retreated, signaling the Dragon Kings, who released their Breaths, containing firepower so tremendous that not even Red could withstand it.

But my past self was different.

Fshuh!

He dodged, flying into the air using his Righteous Hero’s Wings, and aimed for the Saintesses riding the dragons.

Their battle would never end if he allowed them to ceaselessly heal their allies from a distance.

Satan, instinctively realizing Kang Han Soo’s plan, hurriedly shouted, “This way! Quickly!”

The Dragon Kings descended to the ground.

“You shall not pass!”

“Revenge…”

Bananael and Potatoel died as they tried to prevent their pursuer from chasing after the giant winged lizards.

He only had 18 companions left.

With his party’s combat power gradually decreasing, Hero Satan fell under strong temptation.

[Devastation]

A certain god sweetly whispered to him.

“If you want to defeat that monster, you’ll need my help.”

“… Don’t underestimate me. I don’t need handouts from the gods!” Satan declared. He then immediately issued a command.

“Gather on the Wind Dragon King’s back, Saintesses! He has the fastest speed! Green Cake, Nasus! Stay close to them! We will triumph! No matter what!”

Kang Han Soo once again aimed at their remaining healers, but the dragons got in the way.

He could’ve dealt against them one at a time, but his son Haris prevented him from doing so.

Righteous Hero #2’s Wings. His wings were less effective, but they allowed him to fly like angels and demons.

“You’re stubborn, just like the Sword Princess!”

“… I am.”

“Fine! Let’s have some fun.”

“Fun? No. let’s have your funeral instead.”

“Oh, you impudent little brat!”

“I refuse to listen to the words of the very person that abandoned my mother for so long.”

“That’s the adults’ problem!”

As with the dragons, Kang Han Soo could’ve easily defeated Haris, who stubbornly interfered with him, but Satan and the Heavenly Demon, chasing him while riding dragons, prevented him from doing so.

Due to that stalemate, the Saintesses found the opening they needed to quickly heal their comrades of all the damages they sustained, prolonging their fierce battle.

The situation soon changed as well.

Bang!

Having lost his Righteous Hero’s Wings to Satan and the Heavenly Demon, Kang Han Soo fell to the ground.

Exploiting that gap, Sage bombarded him with spells, and the dragons immediately unleashed their Breaths on him!

It would be difficult to survive after this.

“Victory… No!”

Noticing the gates leading to the 91st floor were still closed, Satan looked around carefully, trying to find the 90th-floor boss.

“Hey, Hero B… No, S-rank Hero Satan. I won’t run away. Don’t worry.”

Kang Han Soo grinned as he stepped out of the cloud of smoke.

He was having fun.

But Satan’s party didn’t feel the same way.

Satan, in disbelief, muttered, ” Dragonian… Seriously?”

“Let’s start the second round, shall we?”

The bald Kang Han Soo, whose body turned as black as coal, once again showed them the Righteous Hero’s smile.
