Chapter 10 begins immediately after the emotional low point of the previous chapter. The hero (Yuusha) has publicly humiliated the protagonist, taking his childhood friend, the priestess, and even the elf mage into his harem right before the protagonist's eyes. The party has abandoned him, calling him "useless" and "dead weight."
But instead of breaking completely, the protagonist makes a quiet resolution. He retreats to a ruined shrine outside the royal capital, where he discovers a hidden inscription left behind by a fallen hero from 300 years ago. The inscription reveals a forbidden skill: Kyouki no Meikyuu (Labyrinth of Madness) — a self-destructive power-up that burns memories in exchange for raw combat ability.
For the first time in the manga, we see the protagonist smile coldly. He mutters: Chapter 10 begins immediately after the emotional low
"You took everything... but I’ll take your legend."
The chapter ends with him entering a cursed dungeon alone, level 1 equipment in hand, facing a horde of ogres — and cleaving one in half with a single, desperate swing. The final panel shows his eyes glowing crimson, with the text: "You took everything

After hitting rock bottom, Katsu stumbles into an ancient underground ruin beneath the tavern where his companions once laughed. Here, raw readers will find a crucial lore dump: a cursed armament that only those who have lost everything can wield. The raw text uses a distinctive, archaic Japanese for the cursed weapon’s dialogue, something lost in early fan translations.
第10話 – 絶望の先の一閃
(Rough translation: "A Flash Beyond Despair")
In the final three pages of manga yuusha ni minna netoraretakedo akiramezu ni tatakao kitto saigo wa ore ga katsu raw chapter 10, we see the first reversal. It is not a victory — it is not even a fight. Instead, Katsu stands up. He looks directly at a wanted poster of the Hero. His eyes, previously vacant, now glow with a faint, dark purple aura. The last panel is a single speech bubble: "I said… surely, in the end… I will win."
