Most heroes follow the rule of never killing a criminal or suspect. Why? Simple, because that would also make them murderers, and all murderers are technically guilty because they are interfering with the natural order of life, right?
However, there is only one situation where heroes are allowed to kill: in dimensional breaches, also known as portals.
Nicknamed by the press as Outer Portals, they first appeared five years ago, causing great confusion and many civilian deaths, but from there, World Eye appeared, which began to contain this problem.
And on that day, Reincarnate met this threat much sooner than he could have wished.
「You have entered a Dungeon, be careful! 」A screen appeared in front of Yudi's face, alerting him.
Surrounding the boy was an arena covered with yellowish bricks, whose mosses that grew in its divisions were not green but black.
In that arena, there was a calm breeze, and if his ears were attentive, whispers could be heard throughout the place.
'What? What the hell is a Dungeon?' Yudi wondered, looking around.
'「Tutorial: Dungeons are the homes of monsters and abyssal creatures that eagerly try to invade the Earth.
Should you enter a Dungeon, proceed very carefully and do not be alone, because then you will become an easy target.
Since the only way out of a Dungeon is by defeating its Boss, it is recommended that the group check the color of the portal well before entering so as not to come out dead.
If it is blue, it is a normal portal with normal monsters. If it is purple, a more coordinated group is recommended so that there are no casualties. And if it is red, you should only enter if you are in a very powerful group.」
'Whateee! I couldn't even see the color and.... monsters?! I thought this kind of thing wouldn't happen for another ten years!'
"Are you okay, kid?" Hawks questioned Yudi, who transmuted the expression several times in a few seconds.
All the heroes looked worriedly at him, and when the little boy nodded to Hawks' question, they heaved a sigh of relief.
"So, Ingenium... What are we going to do?" Hawks questioned the man in glasses and futuristic armor.
"If the Portal has pulled us in, there is no other way out. We'll have to defeat the Boss of that Dungeon."
They immediately looked at Yudi again because they knew that the environment of a Dungeon was not an appropriate place for normal civilians, let alone a child.

Boomm! "Leave the bigger ones to me, and I'll blow up their cores!" shouted Bakugou, unleashing another one of his explosions.
The heroes and the reincarnated one managed to reach a system of tortuous and vast caves, and everything indicated that they were on the right path to the Boss's room because more and more monsters appeared.
Powerful stone goliaths were preventing them from advancing, but with that super team, everything was going well.
Ingenium was distracting the monsters with his terrifying speed, thanks to the exhausts that appeared on his calf while knocking some of them down.
Bakugou would hit the glowing stones that were located right on the monsters' backs and thus turn them into nothing but useless piles of rocks.
Hawks, on the other hand, attacked from the skies, using the red feathers that came out of his wings to attack the monsters and defend his companions.
'They are perfect!' thought Yudi, amazed at those scenes that he could only see on television before. The little boy was on Mina Ashido's lap, who didn't even have to interfere in the battle, which was a disappointment to her.
"Hey Hawks! Let's trade a little!" The pink woman shouted.
"Coming! One second!"
However, Mina Ashido didn't have to have fun with the monsters because the three of World Eye's main heroes took care of them very masterfully, to the point that the other creatures feared an approach.
Soon after they killed the dozens of golems, they found another huge arena, this one covered in an overwhelming smell of rot.
'Have we arrived?' the reincarnated man thought as Ashido put him down again and began to look ahead.
In the center of this arena, whose main decoration was giant stalagmites and stalactites, was a small blue flame. A moment after the sound of heroes' footsteps reverberated through that silent chamber, this fire grew more prominent.
Slowly, this burning fire began to take on a form, which no one could predict what would be. First came the legs, which were solid and sturdy, then the legs, which were very similar to legs.
Soon after, a gigantic tail appeared, and from it, a huge back, which exceeded six meters in length. Finally, the head that occurred at the beginning of the back was flattened and had a colossal jaw.
"Get ready to attack!" Iida shouted, raising his right arm and preparing his running position.
Immediately, the fire that raged around the uncertain silhouette dissipated, giving matter to that creature that until then had been a mere concept.
「The Lizard Prince of Earth has awakened! 」
The gigantic beast in the center of the arena had matte gray skin and three giant claws for each paw. Its fangs seemed to be made of steel, so shiny and pointed, and it would be a sin not to mention the number of different ores that formed an impenetrable armor on the monster's back.
'That's... pretty fucked up!!!' Yudi judged. The four heroes accompanying him ran towards the creature, leaving him behind.
"Yudi, stay exactly where you are and don't get out of our sight!" Ashido shouted, slipping on a liquid coming out of his shoes.
So the reincarnated man sat down exactly where he was, his legs tired, to watch the fight.
As he approached, Hawks used all of his feathers to form a giant blade, which slashed toward the creature; however, the Lizard Prince noticed this movement and let out a thunderous roar.
"Roaaaaaaaaaar!" His roar made the walls of the Dungeon shake, and his tail attack then broke the sound barrier, causing an explosion-like noise.
His feathers managed to form a wing again. However, some of them were no longer the same. Luckily, the top 9 hero was not alone. Right after they dodged the creature's tail attack, Bakugou used a concentrated explosion, forming a circle with his right hand in his left palm.
Tzzzóóóómm! The beam formed by the nitro started by the man's sweat hit the creature's chest, which roared in pain.
