"Hmmph"
"You're doing good Ender!"
"Thanks, chief!"
A week has passed and it is the last day of my training, I learned so much from this week about efficiency and my class in general. I learned to climb and run on large tree branches, I also learned that the elements around us can greatly affect my summons and fighting skills and techniques, more music for my fluke, and much more. I have learned and experienced so much.
"It's been about a week since I started, the work paid off. Thanks, Darwin!"
"Ahh...No problem, we love to help our fellow hero!"
"Owww yeah, we had reports on the other two heroes wandering the forest, we don't know their objective but reports from our scouts say that they were looking for your body for a burial."
Yeah, the other two heroes never knew about what happened to me because of those assholes who tried to kill me, I never wanted to hide my identity but for this situation, it can't be helped I need to go to the kingdom for something important.
"Ender anything wrong, you were spacing out?"
"Ahhh... no I'm fine."
"Good, well we need to talk about the dungeon you're going to raid."
"Okay"
"Well, let's go to my office and plan it."
"Okay"
We headed to the chief's office and when we got there we met a few elves and a few humans who were sitting at the long table.
"Good afternoon chief!"
"Hello everyone let's get to the discussion."
I have never seen so many people discuss over a dungeon raid before, in the game I just click the location and it sends me to the location.
"Chief, I have arranged the team you have assigned me for."
"Mmmhmm... thank you major!"
"Wait, team?"
"Yes, the summoner class is weak physically and the summons is no good too, so you need team support."
I have never heard a more brutal response than saying your "Divine protector" is a weak person.
"Major, apologize!"
"What, but I'm telling the truth"
"Haaa... sorry Ender, this is Major Oakley he is the one who controls the elven battle force, he tends to be rude at first when meeting someone weaker than him."
"Weaker" huh, well I have no objection to that since I am useless without my summons and I am bad when using weapons.
"Anyway back to the point, this is your team you will be handling and will help you through the dungeon."
"No, I refuse to have a team to carry me, it'll be a burden anyway to handle a group."
Screw having a team, I'll never work with anyone again I'll have the risk of getting betrayed in this world and killing me in the process it's better to do things my damn way, without some people being a burden to me.
"Whaaa... hey hero we are not weak, this hero has no taste in anything whatsoever!"
"Shhh... M-Maller y-you're going to make hero-sama mad."
"Outrageous, hero you won't last a day in there"
"H-Hero we want to help you"
Screw those four "teammates" of mine one wrong move and they'll kill me in the spot.
"Hey Ender, where are you going with this."
"Chief, I never wanted a team in the first place and I can handle surviving a simple dungeon."
"Hey summoner hero, you're going to die in that dungeon and you'll be truly useless now!"
"And the fact you're already pretty useless and weak you'll have no chance of surviving if I were you I'd chicken out of this and just recruit us."
These people are now starting to get on nerves and the feeling of killing them even makes me happier.
"Enough everyone, we need to acknowledge the hero's choice he will be the one doing this dungeon raid."
"Chief!"
At least someone can help me at this time.
"However Ender, you must let us see if you are really able to overcome the dungeon by fighting everyone in the room at once."
"Why?"
I was confused about the statement that Chief Darwin said about fighting everyone in the room, a one vs. six people with amazing stats and experience is no joke especially since my class is weak and I can't keep up with six people at the same time.
"The dungeon is home to monsters everywhere and with high levels and some monsters from the "fruit of sin" taking shelter in the dungeon sometimes in hoards of up to three or ten, that's why I need to know how strong you are before leaving without a strong team to help you. Or else you're not going to survive."
Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel.
"What you mean is that if I can beat the six of you, I can go without a team?"
"Yes, but only if you don't die during this test."
"Die?"
"Yeah, we won't hold back just because you're a hero it'll just be the same if you go to the dungeon unprepared."
The stakes are high just to enter by myself but since I already made a stand I can't back up on it or else I'll be a fool to everyone for looking so cool.
"I accept, even if the stakes are high like hell I'd need help from a team."
"Damn, this hero is getting on my nerves."
"Well that settles it, we fight now we won't be holding back Ender even if it means killing our divine protector."
"Fine."
This is the battle between life and death for me if I can't win I'll make a fool out of myself and since these people are higher and have more experience, I need to win at all costs.

The chief's stats are terrifyingly high especially that summon damage and a high health and mana stats and at a high level at fifty-six, but the problem is that I can clearly see his affinity while mine needs to be checked in my heart first.

What the hell are these stats! A max level at sixty and an attack that can kill me with one slice and a stupid amount of defense that makes it even harder to beat him a big problem for me.
"What's wrong summoner hero? Scared of dying, pathetic"
Well he is more bite than bark than I thought at first, now fighting these six monsters are going to be more harder than expected, at least these other four are manageable with stats like these but the problem is those two buffed monsters.

Like I said, these four are no problem at all I just need to stop the healer and the sorcerer then I have no problem whatsoever, and I can focus on the two strongest ones
"Here"
"What's this?"
"It's four mana potions to help you."
"Give everything you have on us, we won't hold killing you."
"No, I won't need these"
"Why?"
"It's all about survival in a dungeon, and a test of strength for me using that beats the purpose, does it?"
"Hmmm... you do show some strength, I hope it's not just a play"
I was worried with facing six opponents at once but since I'm used to facing hordes of monsters I lost my fear, but the fact that all of them are experienced and buffed terrifies me, seeing that my stats are under performing me.

"Ender, get ready were going to start. Prepare yourself for your death"
"Yeah, I'm going to win still so no problem."
I'm being as cocky as ever despite under estimating those six people who challenged me and giving me a serious look.
"Summo-"
"Hando Paralyze!"
"Sando spell curse!"
"Wha...!"
"Hmmm... being cocky at the start of the match is stupid summoner hero, now time to meet your maker!"
The major jumped with a strong force and appeared at the sky holding his sword prepared to decapitate me, smiling as he descends down."
"Hmmm... who decides when I'm going to meet my maker? Definitely not you major."
"Huh..., what are you yapping about?"
"Major above the hero's head!"
"Whaaa... a steel spiked turtle?"
"Zando water sprout!"
"Ohhh no you don't, don't think you can escape that quickly"
"Thunder Phoenix!"
"What, impossible a phoenix arose behind him! What is this power from him?"
"Water conducts electricity naturally I'd use it to stop your escape from me"
*ZTTTT ZTTT*
"AAAARRRGGHHHH!"
"Major!"
"Major are you okay?"
"Impossible, He would have not used a spell or even move because of 「spell curse」 and 「paralyze」 how did he manage to do it?"
"Ender used a large amount of mana to use lightning phoenix even though it's sunny, and that turtle he used also cost an amount since he used 「Change property」 on it."
"You may be wondering how I was able to summon these two, well for starters I was already short on mana at this point, and so I borrowed some"
"Borrowed from? And how is he moving with the spell still in effect?"
"C-Chief, I'm getting drowsy"
"It's like we lost a huge amount of stamina"
"I can't blame you for it, look underneath"
"Whaaa... water leach?"
"Yeah, a water leach depletes mana and gives it to me"
"How did you do this? We never knew it was planted?"
"Well, I may be weak and useless but I strategize before I fight."
"I summoned these creatures before the fight happened and used you two for mana consumption later. And since a summon is a spirit after activation it's not a spell anymore since it has a mind of its own."
"Ender, you learned quite much of our training I am proud of you."
"Thanks, chief"
"However this is not the time to congratulate you, we have only begun!"
"HIIIIIYAAAA"
"Summon fire golem!"
"A golem!"
"Yeah, it's my strongest summon and it costs a fortune on my behalf so I can summon only 2 per fight."
"Don't forget about me, summoner hero! I'm not done yet."
Shit, with both the golem and the major fighting me I'm having a hard time with both of them at once.
"Summo-!"
"No, you don't!"
"GYYYYAAA!"
The major kicked my body with great force and was which made my body fly straight to the wall and running toward me ready to stab me with his sword.
"Paralyze!"
"GAAAHHHH!"
"Spell Curse!"
*WHIIPP*
*CLANK*
"Oi Major, enough we don't intend to kill Ender. Just enough to make him unconscious"
"I don't intend to stop just there, I have been ordered to eliminate the summoner hero, whose action threat the kingdom, and I will kill anyone who supports him."
Once I heard those words, I already know who's responsible for trying to kill me for anything.
"What, nonsense who ordered you?"
"The Senator ordered us to kill him, he pays a good fortune just to send him dead or alive, I had planned to send my party to lead Ender to the dungeon and kill him there, a perfect plan until he disagreed to it and now here we are."
*CLANK*
I have heard a lot from that, it seems that I can't trust anyone from now on and my heart is getting faster and more heavy than usual.
"Move away chief, this hero has killed so many innocent people in the kingdom he must be punished for his deeds."
"I refuse!"
When I heard those words I felt a bit of relief and gratitude that someone is by my side.
"What, you know you'll get killed by not moving away."
"No matter what you say Ender did nothing wrong as to kill the innocent, this is surely a misunderstanding I have not seen him anywhere outside the kingdom."
"Blunder, guess I have to kill you too I didn't want to kill any more than one person, well maybe I can get an extra for a supporter of the "summoner of demons", I suppose."
*CLANK*
*CLANK*
*WHIPP*
*WHOOSH*
"HMMPH... not bad for our chief"
"Quiet you traitor, joining forces with the corrupt just to get money"
"I am not a traitor, in fact I'm helping the kingdom by killing the threat and the burden of the eastern heroes"
*CLANK*
"Don't you say that in front of our Divine protector, traitor!"
"HIIIYYAAAHH!"
*SWOOSH*
*SLASH*
"Summon fire tiger!"
"Paralyze!"
"What, Impossible he's not unconscious he was merely hiding for the right moment."
"When I say you die I mean it chief, you were stupid to fall in love with that trash hero"
"A-Angeline, I'm so sorry I couldn't keep your promise and Ender as well survive and go to the dungeon that is my last wish for you to be stronger."
Sorry, Ender, I was weak
*SLASH*
