The Legends Of Creator Hero
The oath of a knight

"I will carry this sword..."

After saying that, Rigel jumped back to where Ray was.

"If it were you, I'm sure everyone wouldn't mind... After all you have defeated this creature so you have the right to take good things from it... Then, let me say one thing..." Ray said and started kneeling before Rigel gracefully. Ray lowered his head.

Rigel was shocked when he saw Ray kneeling in front of him. Rigel knew that this kind of treatment would usually be done by someone with a high caste like royalty, kings and heroes like him. Since the beginning of meeting, Rigel had already told Ray and the others not to do such formalities to him due to the hassle.

"Wait, Ray... Didn't I tell you in the first place if you didn't have to do troublesome formalities like this...??"

"I know, but let me do it this time..."

Rigel was stunned and quietly waited for Ray to convey what he wanted to convey.

"Hero Creator, Mr. Amatsumi Rigel... Let me thank you for confronting Hydra only to free the island of Yurazania and to give shelter to Demi-humans and slaves not by their will... I am so grateful to have followed you, even with the weakest label people have given you... From now on, I will dedicate all of this body and soul to fighting with you, Hero Creator... Whatever happens, I will always be on your side, Mr. Hero, Amatsumi Rigel..."

Ray closed his eyes and smiled, he still kneeled to Rigel who was still stunned and looked at him in surprise. It might be too late for Rigel to realize it, getting this kind of treatment seemed to have a certain pride in his heart. Rigel smiled and scratched his head.

"You know if I'm not good at dealing with this..."

Rigel sighed as if exhausted, while Ray remained on his knees and only smiled. Although he did not know whether this was true or not, but at least Rigel knew what he had to do at a time like this.

"Bless your head soldier..."

Ray raised his head according to what Rigel said.

"I'm so flattered by the loyalty you showed... Soldier, Ray... Will you make your oath of allegiance to me, now and at this very moment...??"

Ray was a little surprised because Rigel knew of the formality of knights like this. Ray smiled and quickly returned to his serious face.

"Yes... My oath is only for you... My loyalty is only for you... This body and soul I offer you... I exist to be your sword and my sword is there to protect you... I'll leave it to you..."

Rigel extends his right hand towards Ray and Ray receives Rigel's helping hand.

"I accept you as my knight, arise... Your oath is mine... Your loyalty is mine... Your soul and body belong to me and my sword will be used to protect me... Accept my hand and stand as my knight, my friend, and also my friend..."

Ray smiled and accepted Rigel's helping hand wholeheartedly. They were just as smiling and shaking hands after.

***

After Rigel finished dealing with Kusanagi's sword and accepted Ray's oath, Rigel decided to leave this stinking place because there was no longer anything that required him to remain here. Merial and Ray don't seem to have a problem with Rigel having the sword. For Ray, he already knew what had happened between Rigel and Takatsumi before, whereas Cerial knew nothing at all. He just thought that Rigel must have had his own reasons for not letting Takatsumi copy Kusanagi's sword.

"Now... What should I do, yeah..."

While walking out alone, Rigel had no idea what he was going to do next. Kusanagi's sword has been obtained and it seems that he did not receive any curse. Then, as for the Crystal on Hydra's head, Rigel wasn't particularly interested in him because it was most likely that the crystal only stored magic energy rather than a skill.

"Well, even so maybe one day the crystal will come in handy... It's better that I secure it right now, it's not good to waste such precious resources..."

Rigel thought it might be better if Misa, who is a witch, used the Hydra crystal stone. Cerial can also be a magician but it is likely that she will be more useful to be a fighter like Cold and the others. Then, there was also Fang and some fighters from Yurazania island. Rigel still doesn't know what their powers look like so maybe Rigel will have them show it. Rigel started to think of something...

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot the thing that made me curious and as much as possible, I should investigate as soon as possible..."

The thing Rigel meant was a stone of divination. A stone that is said to tell when the war will begin and everything that concerns this world. During this time, Rigel had never heard of any further discussion of the divination stone. What intrigued Rigel was how did the stone find out if it was Rigel who had defeated Hydra??

Although this world is all run with magic that is beyond logic, the divination stone that can know it is still suspicious and must be investigated further.

"From what I remember, there were eight divination stones left behind by the gods... One of them is in Britannia and maybe also in a big country that summons heroes also has a divination stone..."

Then there is also the kingdom of the underworld, where the demons take shelter. There may also be one in their place and it is not impossible if in the place of the angels there is a stone of divination.

"If I assume that there is also one in Yurazania, there are two more stones left... But I still don't know it..."

Rigel could only hope that in Yurazania there was the same divination stone as in Britannia. Rigel had never seen it though and it seemed that the truth of the divination stone itself was still gray. Then, if indeed in Yurazania, the kingdom of demons and angels had one, then the existence of the other two divination stones might be a mystery.

Most likely, after Rigel had finished rebuilding the Yurazania kingdom and formed a country, the stone of divination would be a top priority that should be investigated immediately.

"There may be a secret or something hidden in the divination stone... Shit, this is so thrilling and fun..."

Rigel muttered and smiled alone in the middle of his journey to the outside. There's more to do right now, no time to rest.

"A week from now, I'll prepare some little things, then I'll meet the heroes of this world and find out what kind of people they are..."

Rigel wishes they weren't a bunch of trash like Takatsumi. The main priority for Rigel at this time is... Attracting heroes to be by his side.
