As Ryan looked at his team of Heroes, various thoughts filled his mind.
He believed that Heroes and Dark Lords would be the main forces in the future world.
And amongst the Heroes, he believed that Rose had the greatest potential to ascend to S-rank.
"For Miss Rose, for Riverside, let's secure this victory!" With a wave of his hand, Ryan led the team of Heroes to launch an attack on Tauren Hill.
As night fell, a Tauren yawning on the watchtower was suddenly startled, eyes filled with disbelief.
He saw fast-approaching shadows in the darkness, and thanks to the campfire's glow, he made out what they truly were: a troop of Heroes!
"Hoo-hoo-hoo——"
The Tauren quickly sounded the horn, but barely had the sound traveled far when an arrow pierced his throat.
A long spear appeared in Ryan's hand, enveloped by a black glow.
