Runestone, a stone that has rune carvings and powers inside. If one were to destroy the Runestone, the power that was within the stone would be possessed by it. Heroes cannot use them because they have divine weapons that provide their own limits. Perhaps this is Rigel's advantage as a Creator hero who has no divine weapon. On the one hand, it is very dear but on the other it is quite profitable.
"Wahhh~, that's a very beautiful stone..."
Riri may have seen Runestone for the first time. Well, if Putting aside its power, the shape and carving of the Run is indeed beautiful.
"Can I see it...??"
Merial smiled as he looked at Rigel who was trying to contain his excitement and his eyes remained focused on the Runestone Hydra.
"of course... After all, from the very beginning this Runestone was yours because you defeated it, Mr. Rigel..."
Without further ado, Rigel slowly approached Runestone and touched it. The stone was black with a bright blue rune in the middle. When Rigel touched it, Runestone shone a little as if pleased as Rigel touched it. Rigel turned towards Merial...
"Is it okay for me to take the power that is in this stone...??"
Rigel instead of refusing to use Runestone, he just felt a little uneasy in his heart.
"What are you talking about Mr. Rigel...?? You're the hero and you're the one who defeated Hydra... From the beginning it was your right to have it... After all, the stronger the hero, the greater the chance of mankind when a great war occurs."
Right, Rigel had to go on and on getting stronger again before the big war arrived.
"Then, fine..."
Rigel held a Runestone that was larger than usual. Draining the power in his hand, Rigel absorbed the energy residing in the Runestone and took the power that was within it. Runestone instantly shattered into pieces of dust and an extremely powerful force flowed down Rigel's body. Fang says...
"What a terrible power..."
"Yes... I myself wasn't even sure I could hold such a large force..."
Even Merial also agreed with Fang. Too much power can destroy a person. Rigel's body began to emit a very blinding blue light and blinded his vision for a moment. Seeing Rigel's body glow, inexplicably Riri was amazed.
"Wahhh great, brother Rigel can shine...!!!"
As the light disappeared, Rigel looked at the state of his body. He no longer felt any pain, his body as if it had been restored. Merial looked at Rigel worriedly and asked.
"Does anything feel different, Mr. Rigel...??"
"No... Merely, I felt that my strength had increased more than I had imagined..."
An index message appears on Rigel's screen. The message contains :
...You get a new Skill...!!!...
...The sea of Poseidon....
...With this power, you have the power of the sea...!!!...
The power of the Sea of Poseidon, Rigel may have guessed that the power of Hydra must have something to do with the god of the sea. There were many things and powers from this Skill but in short, Rigel had the power to rule the Sea. It's a very extraordinary power and probably like Cheat. Even so, it did not mean that the other heroes and demon pillars as well as the Seraphim were weaker than him.
Rigel has already witnessed Takumi's power. He was extremely strong, even Rigel was unsure of being able to defeat him without the power of the Void. Then, Rigel had also seen the power of the demon pillar, Diablo. Even though he had only expended a small part of his strength back then, it could be clearly seen that he was not a Devil that should be underestimated.
Even with the power Rigel had, he was not the strongest in this world. There is still the leader of the Devil's army, Lucifer and also the leader of Armageddon, Michael. On the human side, heroes will lead and confront other leaders.
"Item Drop obtained from Hydra is indeed very extraordinary and has good quality... However, we have just secured the Runestone and the sword that has not yet been removed... Then, there was one more item, it was the crystal that was on Hydra's head... To date, we've tried many different ways but still haven't managed to unplug them."
There was more to the surprise than Rigel had expected. Rigel never expected that the crystal on Hydra's head might as well be an Item Drop. Besides being difficult to remove, it seems that one of the crystals was buried in the head of the other. It is not an easy thing to move it and even though it was successfully moved, as long as the crystal in his head can not be taken for free.
Rigel chose to skip the crystal and wanted to see where the sword was. Rigel walked out and asked Merial...
"For the crystal it's better we miss... Then, for that possibly cursed sword to be where...??"
"The sword is in the belly of Hydra... To enter it, we have to go to the head of Hydra and enter through its mouth because the outer skin is so hard that it is impossible for us to break it..."
Rigel stopped walking as Merial told him where the sword was.
"Huh...?? Wait, you mean you're venturing into Hydra's stomach...??"
"Yes, since we didn't find any high-quality items, so I speculated that they were inside Hydra's body..."
Rigel looked at Merial with a look of disbelief at what he had just heard. On the other hand, Merial looked ordinary and tilted his head in confusion and asked what was going on...
"No... I just didn't expect you to explore the inside of Hydra's body... Then, did you take the Runestone out of his stomach...??"
"Yes... Is there something strange...??"
"No, there's nothing strange... Well, let's show me the way."
"All right, let's follow me..."
Before they actually left, Fang who had been silent began to speak...
"I'm sorry to have a crush on Mr. Hero, maybe I shouldn't have followed you if we're thinking of Riri..."
Fang looked at Riri worriedly instead, Riri looked at Fang in confusion. It is true that it is not good to bring Riri who is still a child to explore the body of Hydra. Perhaps the best option would be to leave it out here and wait with Fang.
"Riri, you go with Uncle Fang to take a look at this outside world... Be a good girl, don't interfere with other people's work and listen to what Uncle Fang says..."
"Didn't Rigel want to date the beautiful lady...??"
"She...!! It is impolite to say that to the Hero Lord..."
Riri asked her innocently on the other side, Merial flushed a little and tried to straighten out this little girl's misunderstanding.
"R-Riri, me and Mr. Rigel are not dating... Besides, I already have someone I love and so does Mr. Rigel... She has a much prettier girl than me..."
"Hmmm...?? So anyway... It would be nice if you two were a couple..."
Rigel was not at all bothered by Riri's innocence. To him, a little boy like Riri was simply cute.
After settling into Riri's misunderstanding, Rigel and Merial rush into Hydra's body.
