415.

 

The atmosphere began to stir at Shan’s sudden appearance.

 

It wasn’t just the Lumern students.

 

The heads of state and heroes who had attended for the summit were the same.

 

Amid this, everyone’s gaze focused on the middle-aged man standing at the very front of the Shan Empire.

 

A man wearing traditional Eastern attire with a somehow bored expression.

 

The atmosphere he exuded was extraordinary.

 

As if he would cut down anyone who approached.

 

He was a man who possessed such sharpness.

 

Though no one recognized his face, they could instantly tell who he was.

 

Everyone swallowed dryly.

 

The emperor of the shadows who had never revealed himself in the light.

 

Those who had been called the strongest shadows for generations.

 

‘The Emperor of Shan.’

 

Even in a gathering of countless heroes and hero candidates, he overwhelmed the entire assembly.

 

Step- Step-

 

Shau, leading the empire’s retainers, stood before Riina, the principal of Lumern.

 

“It’s been a long time.”

 

At Riina’s words, Shau smiled slightly.

 

“It has been a long time, Lord Riina. Or should I now call you Principal Riina of Lumern.”

 

Wherever there is light, there are shadows.

 

Naturally, Lumern also had its shadows.

 

Since Riina had been the head of Lumern’s shadows, she had occasions to meet with Shau.

 

“I didn’t expect you to attend like this.”

 

“The world is undergoing upheaval, is it not.”

 

Shau spoke calmly while stroking his beard.

 

“It seems Shan must also begin moving in earnest.”

 

“Welcome. If Shan participates in the summit, it will be of great help.”

 

It was truly a historic moment.

 

While heading to Shan’s seats with everyone’s attention behind them, his eyes met with Leo’s.

 

When Shau smiled and nodded in greeting, Leo also nodded back.

 

***

 

Despite the commotion inside the venue due to the Shan Empire’s appearance, heads of state continued to arrive through the warp gates.

 

Soon, starting with Demian, external figures from other Hero Academies appeared one after another in the order of Ajonia and Seirun.

 

Flash-!

 

As always, Seirun made a flashy entrance that drew much attention.

 

From last year through early this year.

 

Due to a series of major incidents, the internal situation of Seirun was chaotic.

 

The return of Luna, Progenitor of the Starry Skies, and the Comet Mage of Seirun seemed like good events for Seirun at first glance, but the reality was different.

 

The invasion of Monster Queen Silatuna, which could be resolved through the efforts of the Hero of the Beginning and Progenitor of the Starry Skies.

 

And even the Overlord King’s schemes caused by Rhagen, the head of the Pure Blood Society.

 

While the physical damage from the Monster Queen’s invasion was significant, the biggest shock was the fact that the Pure Blood Society had been in collusion with Tartaros.

 

Elves are a race with strong isolationist tendencies compared to other races.

 

Unless it was something special, they didn’t venture outside their territory, and other races couldn’t freely enter elven domains.

 

The fact of collusion occurring among such isolationist elves was enough to surprise other races.

 

Therefore, despite the major issue of Luna and Seirun’s return to the present world, elven society was busy dealing with internal affairs.

 

To resolve such chaos, it was none other than Rune Ersarr who took on the role of acting principal of Seirun.

 

As an elder of elven society and having kept distance from the Pure Blood Society that caused problems, he was chosen as the right person by the elven council.

 

The Seirun students led by Roon exchanged greetings with Riina before walking to their seats.

 

While walking, Leo’s eyes met with familiar faces.

 

They were Runia and Eiran from the 2nd year.

 

Seeing Leo’s face, Runia nodded with a slightly coy expression, while Eiran waved brightly with a smile.

 

Leo chuckled and waved back in response.

 

Thus, heads of state from each nation and all Hero Academies had gathered.

 

However, the Lumern officials hosting the conference were wondering whether to conclude the welcoming ceremony as it was.

 

“Dragonia hasn’t come yet.”

 

“Are they planning to just send a representative during the conference again this time?”

 

“It seems the Dragon Lord has no intention of moving.”

 

Lumern students began murmuring.

 

The summit conference could only be held with the Dragon Lord’s permission.

 

As such, Dragonia also attended the summit, but the Dragon Lord didn’t necessarily attend.

 

Especially the current Dragon Lord, Mellina the Silent Dragon, was an even more secretive existence.

 

While many in society had paid attention to whether the Silent Dragon would participate, they expected that this time too, another representative would be sent.

 

Though some people held hope just in case, Dragonia showed no signs of revealing itself.

 

Just as the moderator in charge was about to speak.

 

Flash-!

 

The warp gate shone once more.

 

The moment everyone widened their eyes and looked at the warp gate.

 

Five people revealed themselves.

 

In the very center was a girl wearing a veil so her face couldn’t be seen.

 

Her long silver hair, which seemed to reach the ground, had black mixed in here and there.

 

Though her face wasn’t visible due to the veil, she exuded an extremely noble atmosphere.

 

As if escorting such a girl.

 

Four people stood around the girl, positioned at all directions.

 

The girl moved smoothly.

 

Everyone stared at them with wide eyes.

 

Meanwhile, Mellina, who had arrived in front of Riina, the principal of Lumern, smiled slightly, then tapped her left chest three times, bowed her head, and bent her knee slightly.

 

At this unfamiliar greeting method, Riina was a bit flustered and awkwardly imitated the gesture.

 

“Nice to meet you, Principal of Lumern. I’m Dragon Lord Mellina.”

 

“It’s an honor to meet you. I’m Riina Flicks, Principal of Lumern.”

 

Looking at Riina who answered politely, Mellina smiled and said.

 

“If the summit opening speech hasn’t finished, may I do it?”

 

“If you would do so, it would be an infinite honor.”

 

At Riina’s words, Mellina smiled gently and headed toward the highest platform.

 

Meanwhile, through the veil, Mellina looked at Leo.

 

A slight smile formed at the corners of her mouth that showed here and there.

 

Actually, the dragon etiquette from earlier wasn’t directed at Riina, but offered to Leo who was beside Riina.

 

For Mellina, it had been a very long time since she officially appeared as Dragon Lord in a formal setting.

 

Moreover, though others didn’t know, this was a summit attended by the Hero of the Beginning.

 

Mellina judged it necessary to show respect and courtesy to Leo in such a setting, so she greeted using the now-forgotten ancient etiquette.

 

“Leo, didn’t it seem like the Dragon Lord smiled while looking at you?”

 

“Did she?”

 

Leo feigned ignorance.

 

The meaning of the smile was probably ‘Did I do well?’

 

‘You got the etiquette wrong.’

 

Of course, Leo was thinking something completely different.

 

‘That Rodia kid did the same thing.’

 

You’re supposed to tap the right side of the chest, not the left.

 

While Leo was contemplating whether he should correct Mellina’s etiquette.

 

Mellina stepped up onto the platform.

 

While everyone held their breath and focused on Mellina.

 

The Dragon of Silence opened her mouth.

 

“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Hero and Shadow. And the Hero Candidates who follow behind you.”

 

Everyone focused their attention on Mellina.

 

“The current era is facing transformation. Perhaps in this very era we’re living in now, we might be able to put an end to the long fight.”

 

At those words, the audience began to murmur.

 

The words of none other than the Dragon Lord were never light.

 

“That’s why I believe this summit is very important. I hope this will be a meaningful time where we can discuss everything about the abnormal events and miracles occurring in each region, and what lies ahead. That is all.”

 

After Mellina finished speaking, applause poured out from here and there.

 

Thus, the World Summit began.

 

***

 

That place was literally a domain of death.

 

A domain that the living could never approach.

 

The dwelling of Tartaros’s commander, Hel Kaiser, the Overlord King.

 

“The Dragon of Silence has moved?”

 

The Overlord King seated on the Throne of Death narrowed his eyes at the report.

 

At this, the Grand Duke of Funerals, Atkan, bowed his head.

 

“That is correct.”

 

At his subordinate’s answer, the Overlord King’s dark red eyes narrowed.

 

The king of the dead, wearing massive bone armor over his skull, felt extremely uncomfortable with the current situation.

 

Watching such an Overlord King, a woman opened her mouth.

 

“What are you so worried about?”

 

The Overlord King’s gaze turned to the woman.

 

“Are you perhaps feeling fear toward a mere old dragon who lost her strength long ago?”

 

The Overlord King, watching the woman curl up the corners of her mouth, raised his hand that remained only bones.

 

“Kuk? Kuggeok?”

 

“The Queen was belligerent and simple, but at least she had thoughts. Witch.”

 

Irritation dwelt in the Overlord King’s eyes.

 

The one called Witch, whose throat was being strangled by the Overlord King’s power, began struggling frantically.

 

“If you seized a position simply because the Legion Commander’s seat was vacant without any qualifications, shouldn’t you at least know how to use your head?”

 

“For, forgiveness… Forgiveness…! If I’m not here, there’s no Legion Commander to lead the monsters…!”

 

“There are many replacements.”

 

The Overlord King smiled coldly and withdrew his gaze.

 

Crack-!

 

Along with that, the Witch’s body went limp.

 

Thud-

 

The new Legion Commander, the Witch, who had collapsed on the floor, was sucked into the bones.

 

The other Legion Commanders who saw this fell silent.

 

Among those here, they knew she wasn’t suited to be a Legion Commander.

 

But even so, she was a high-ranking demon who held the title of Legion Commander.

 

To kill such a high-ranking demon like crushing a bug.

 

It was literally strength of a different class.

 

“The Monster Queen was subjugated and the Giant King fell into slumber. And the Dragon of Silence, who had no movement for a long time, has moved.”

 

The Overlord King looked at the other Legion Commanders.

 

“Do you know what this means?”

 

“It means something that’s leading this situation has appeared.”

 

“At least you’re decent. Blood King.”

 

The Overlord King curled up the corners of his mouth.

 

Blood King.

 

Excluding the Overlord King and Giant King, he’s the Legion Commander with the most powerful strength.

 

“At the center of everything is this one.”

 

When the Overlord King raised dark magic, someone’s figure appeared in the void.

 

A young boy with white hair and red eyes.

 

“Leo Flobe. At first, I paid attention to the fact that he was All Class.”

 

The Overlord King narrowed his eyes.

 

“But now he’s gone beyond the simple category of having the same characteristics as the Hero of the Beginning.”

 

The achievements made in just one year after emerging were truly at an amazing level.

 

“The Monster Queen’s death, the Giant King’s defeat. This one was present in all those situations.”

 

“Does that mean Leo Flobe is as threatening an existence as the Hero of the Beginning?”

 

“I wish he were simply as threatening as that detestable Hero of the Beginning. But he might be more than that.”

 

“What do you mean by that…”

 

The Legion Commanders showed puzzled expressions.

 

Meanwhile, Hel Kaiser only glared at Leo.

 

‘This bastard was always at the center of impossible miracles.’

 

It can’t be explained as simply someone with All Class characteristics.

 

No matter what, he’s still just a mid-teen brat.

 

‘But, if.’

 

Hatred dwelt in Hel Kaiser’s eyes.

 

‘If it’s that detestable Hero of the Beginning himself, these wouldn’t be impossible things.’
