00:00The goddess never imagined that the abandoned hero she cast into the dungeon, someone she deemed worthless, would become the
00:04strongest person in the world.
00:05What shocked her even more was that to strengthen the S-rank heroes, she gathered powerful individuals from across the
00:10nations.
00:10But to John, these so-called elites were no different from ordinary soldiers.
00:13They were all opponents he could defeat with a single move.
00:15However, John himself was completely unaware of how strong he had become.
00:18He assumed that the S-rank heroes must be leveling up faster than him.
00:21So even after reaching level 1786, he insisted on heading to the Forbidden Forest to find the Witch of Taboos
00:27and break the Forbidden Curse as quickly as possible.
00:29What John didn't realize was that the highest level among his classmates who crossed over with him was only 28,
00:33not even remotely a threat.
00:34The goddess, on the other hand, was at her wits end.
00:36She decided to send the heroes to the Forbidden Forest for training.
00:39But what the goddess could never have predicted was that John was already on his way.
00:42Along the journey, he rescued the elf princess and found a leopard man who knew the location of the Witch
00:46of Taboos.
00:47However, they soon found themselves targeted by a group of mysterious individuals.
00:50These people claimed to be sorcerers who had killed the infamous Black Dragon Knights.
00:53They demanded that John and his companions surrender immediately.
00:56The elf princess couldn't help but laugh at their audacity.
00:58She instantly saw through their act.
00:59They weren't sorcerers at all.
01:01They had simply relied on underhanded tactics, like poisoning, and capitalized on the fact that no one knew it was
01:05John who had defeated the Black Dragon Knights.
01:07The exposed leader was enraged and sent out his organization's strongest duo, a pair of brothers with power comparable to
01:12the five captains of the Black Dragon Knights.
01:13They believed that an unknown traveler like John would soon be begging on his knees for mercy.
01:17John didn't bother wasting time.
01:18He immediately launched an attack.
01:19Hiding in the trees, he used the tentacles of his slime summon to paralyze all the enemies in range.
01:23The leader was stunned.
01:24He had stationed a special surveillance team nearby to report any threats immediately.
01:28But John calmly replied,
01:29Those 15 soldiers?
01:30I dealt with them while you were busy running your mouth.
01:32Without further explanation, John inflicted a poison status on everyone present.
01:35The enemies had no chance to fight back.
01:37They all died on the spot.
01:38The princess then informed John that aside from these men, there was also a duke who ran an underground arena
01:42pursuing him.
01:42The leopard man was the arena's strongest gladiator, and John taking him away had cost the duke a fortune.
01:46John initially planned to handle the duke's forces the same way, but his slime summon was too drained to link
01:50up again.
01:51Hearing this, the leopard man said,
01:52This is all because of me.
01:53Let me help you.
01:54The princess, meanwhile, stayed nearby to protect a young dark elf girl.
