Reincarnated as a failed hero?! Watch me Defy Fate!

I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. Vaelgorath... this unique monster could speak? Even Canis, another unique monster, couldn’t do that. A chill ran down my spine.

Envi’s voice echoed in my mind."What the hell? A monster that can talk? That means he has intelligence and awareness! This is dangerous, Nao! He’s definitely far stronger than Canis!"

"You’re right, Envi. None of our attacks are working against him. Could that be his skill? He controls time... maybe he avoided our attacks by stopping time?" I asked Envi, trying to analyze his abilities.

"That’s possible... But something’s off. He’s not attacking aggressively. We need to figure out why he’s here, Nao!" Envi advised, and I agreed. My team was still in shock from Vaelgorath’s presence. If he attacked now, we would be at a huge disadvantage. I needed to buy time and find his weakness.

I took a deep breath, gathering my courage, and stepped forward. His massive golden wyvern body was awe-inspiring, but the sheer pressure of his presence filled me with fear. He had the same overwhelming aura as Canis—no, maybe even greater.

"Hey, you... the boss of this dungeon. What exactly are you?" I asked, my voice trembling slightly.

Vaelgorath’s glowing red eyes locked onto me, radiating an oppressive aura. I struggled to withstand the pressure.

"How dare a lowly human speak to me!" His deep, thunderous voice rumbled through the air. "I am Vaelgorath, the Conqueror of Time—the ruler of this domain. You dare to intrude upon my territory? Now face the consequences!"

With a powerful beat of his wings, he soared into the air, generating a fierce gust that sent my team and me stumbling backward.

"This is bad, Naoki! He’s not the type to negotiate!" Julius shouted from behind me, urgency in his voice.

I clenched my fists. Splitting up against him would be suicide. "Everyone, regroup!" I ordered. We had to stick together if we wanted to survive.
