Rise of a Dungeon Lord

"Get ready heroes, we're going into the dungeon right away!"

Saying this, the pope stayed silent waiting for their reactions

Dungeon!

Hearing the Pope's words, the heroes could believe it.

Although they had been practising for a few days now, but neither of them believed they were ready to take on a dungeon

And even if they were, as people from Earth where living safely and healthily was a norm, nobody wanted to participate in something with could make them die

Unfortunately, maybe it was because of the inquisitor standing close to them, but no matter how much they thought otherwise

Fear didn't allow them to refute the Pope's words.

Seeing this happen, the pope knew his plan had worked.

.

Realising this, the pope couldn't help but think of what made him carry out a sudden decision such as this one

Thinking back to it now, the pope remembered that this all started with the head knight

A few minutes ago, the head knight said one of the heroes came to him requesting for them to enter a dungeon

At first, the pope thought that this was a joke, after all most of the heroes were currently so weak, they couldn't even beat the weakest of Magical beasts

However, after taking a look at the hero who proposed such an absurd idea, the pope knew it wasn't a joke.

Greed, desire, jealousy, pride, and many more of such vices were what the pope discovered within the eyes of the hero who planned it

*Tomoki was it?*

Just after taking a quick look into Tomoki's eyes, the pope realised that things were not that simple

Most likely he had planned something in store for his fellow heroes to happen during the dungeon raid

And judging from the looks in his eyes, whatever Tomoki planned was definitely not a good thing

*But isn't this the opportunity I've been looking for?*

*Maybe with this, my next plan for the heroes can begin taking place*

*However, this could only be possible if something went wrong in the dungeon*

"It seems I have to make some additional preparations"

Saying this in his mind, the pope took a quick glance at Tomoki before taking a look at the rest of the heroes

Now although he told them about the sudden dungeon trip and they agreed, however, he still needed to appease then

After all, even though he had something else in mind, however considering the image he had to uphold, the pope had to be kinder

Thinking of this, the pope quickly put on a false look of worry on his face

"Heroes, I hope you do understand this but this wasn't mine nor the empire's hasty decision"

"In fact, if it wasn't for the current situation I wouldn't want to rush putting in our heroes and only hope in danger"

Trying his best to sound sad and worried, the pope began praising himself for his acting skills in his mind

Unfortunately, none of the heroes fund any idea what was going on

Fortunately, the pope soon continued speaking, making them think not too much about his quick pause just now.

"So heroes, I really hope you understand where we're coming from"

"Just a few minutes ago, we got the news that several outposts on the border had been abused by demons leaving everyone there dead"

"And to make things worse, upon the investigation team's arrival, the corpses were completely decimated"

"With some burnt to a crisp and others in pieces as large parts of them had already been eaten by the enemy"

"Just thinking of what happened fills me with an unprecedented rage!"

Hearing this, the whole crowd was shocked!

Although they knew that the wire would be fierce and they as heroes had no choice but to participate in it

However, after hearing about the corpse's mutilation and unilateral slaughtering,

Most of the heroes especially be body present couldn't help but be filled with righteous indignation

And sensing this, Tomoki who had always been waiting for an opportunity to strike in the crowd, finally realised this was his chance

So clearing his throat, he looked toward the pope and spoke

"Lord Pope, It's okay, I understand where you're coming from, and truly even I as a hero feel angry hearing you say this"

"And even though most im of us didn't ask to be summoned here to this strange world, but given that it is our duty"

"Then we as heroes have no choice but to succeed!"

"And to do that, we've accepted your proposal"

"We agree to enter the dungeon right away, so we can get stronger and help better"

Speaking this way, Tomoki had unknowingly pushed himself into the position of head of the heroes making a decision for everyone present

Luckily, perhaps it was because of the strength he displayed during training, or because they all felt the same, but no one said otherwise.

Seeing this, both the pope and Tomoki had smiles in their eyes, obviously, their plan was working

"Thank you so much heroes, but don't worry some knights and priests would follow you"

"As long as anyone is in danger of getting harmed, they would take immediate action to ensure your safety"

"So don't worry and use this time in peace as the great war between us and demons is already on its way"

Speaking of the war, the Pope's face turned serious showing them that its scale was definitely a huge one.

Knowing this, the heroes one by one quickly realised the urgency to level u and couldn't help but request to set off immediately

Seeing this, the pope couldn't help but laugh in his mind

*Haha, this is too easy, I wonder if the heroes of the past generations were also so gullible?*

*Even if they weren't, at least this set of heroes are definitely not going to escape my palm*

*However Tomoki, it seems like I have to keep an extra eye on him, after all he might turn into an unexpected variable*

Unknowingly as the pope thought of this, Tomoki who was still ecstatic due to the pope accepting his plan suddenly felt a chin down his spine.
