The Legends Of Creator Hero
Suspicions

Two teams of Heroes have entered Tortoise's body before he regenerates.His head is shattered by Ozaru, who transforms into a giant Ape.

*Graooorr....

Ozaru roared loudly and looked at Tortoise who was looking at him with hatred. They looked at each other. Although Tortoise is still much larger than Ozaru, Ozaru's combat power may be far superior to Tortoise's.

"What should we do now? should we help Ozaru?" Hazama asked, confusion befell him.

"No, we have to make sure first whether Ozaru keeps his consciousness or becomes a crazy monster. I'll go and make sure, you wait here." Rigel jumps up and goes towards Ozaru.

Rigel had an uneasy feeling while recalling Ozaru's previous words. Maybe this is what he meant by getting out of control and Rigel has to kill him if Ozaru loses control of him. It would be a pity because maybe no one else but Ozaru can use that weapon.

To find out whether Ozaru was in control or not, Rigel had to ask him directly. She unhesitatingly left Hazama and headed for the silent Ozaru and looked at Tortoise with her beast eyes. Rigel climbed Ozaru's body and stopped on his left shoulder.

"Oii, Ozaru, are you still conscious? nod if you are." Rigel asked directly near his ear.

Ozaru heard that, he turned his head towards Rigel and nodded. Rigel let out a sigh of relief, thank God that Ozaru can still hold his own.

"Give up all your abilities, Hazama and I will observe while waiting for news from the rover team. It's okay, right?"

Ozaru nodded in silence. He would not be able to speak in his monster form so could only nod and shake his head.

"Although Hazama and I will wait, it doesn't mean we won't help you. We'll support you from a distance..." Rigel gave a final message before leaving. Ozaru patted his chest as if saying 'Just leave it to me.'

Without wasting any more time, Rigel immediately left Ozaru's shoulder and returned to Hazama's place.

"Does he still hold his consciousness?" Hazama asked in a hurry.

"There should be no problem, he was still conscious. We will support him from afar while waiting for news from the other team and also, save as much energy as possible."

Hazama nodded in agreement with Rigel. For the time being they only needed to hand Tortoise over to Ozaru and let him rampage as much as possible. Rigel turned his attention to Ozaru's wand that was stuck in the ground. Although there was nothing strange, but for Rigel it was suspicious.

Why doesn't this stick come back on its own like Takumi's spear? It was supposed that the divine weapon would return to its owner after a minute apart with its owner.

"Hei Hazama's... About Ozaru's wand, when you were summoned to this world together, did he have this wand in the first place?" Rigel wondered if Ozaru had held this weapon since his world or not.

Hazama was surprised, he started to shut his mouth and remember the events when he was summoned to this world.

"Indeed, when I was summoned to this world, the first thing that surprised me was the sight of a Monkey man lying down while scraping his ears." Hazama paused for a moment while digging up the memories in his memory and his eyes began to open wide. Rigel noticed her and realized that something was shocking without him noticing.

"When we were gathered in the palace hall to meet King Alexei and activate our weapons, Ozaru grumbled about being kidnapped and stuff. He started to run amok and at that moment, he said 'extend Nyoibo'. The thing he used to clean his ears began to lengthen and enlarge. At first I thought it was his divine weapon. However, when I remembered it again, he did not even activate Index at all..." Hazama became even more surprised by it and looked at Rigel.

"He could even use his Cane Skill from the start and defeat us by himself... Rigels... Is it possible..."

"Yes." Yeah." Even before Hazama finished his words, Rigel already knew what he wanted to say.

"His wand is not the same divine weapon as yours, but something that already exists from Ozaru's own world..."

In retrospect, Ozaru often said strange things that Rigel thought were just lies. But if you think about it now, Ozaru is not like a liar.

"I remembered something he said at the Heavenly Emperor meeting, when you asked who they worshiped in his world and Ozaru replied that he was the one in worship... Is it just me who thinks too much or...is he really a God in his world?" Hazama looked at Rigel in disbelief and a strange smile on her lips.

Rigel himself did not know what to answer, but when imagining a god just lying down and digging a golden nose, it seemed impossible.

"... I don't think that's possible... After all, he always nicknamed himself the Monkey King, so I'm sure he's just an ape King and not a God."

"That makes sense..." Hazama agreed and had no intention of discussing further.

Decided not to talk any further and contacted the remaining two teams. The first team Rigel called was the heart team. The one holding the heart team radio is Takumi.

"Takumi, how's it going in there?"

"Umm, well, it's fine here to ignore the disgusting slime on his body. We're still with the seal team. So far we haven't found any forked path, it may be much harder to find the heart and seal is located."

"Well if so. Stay careful and don't forget to call me if anything happens."

"Understand."

Rigel instantly turned off his radio communication so as not to interfere. For now, he would help the rampaging Ozaru from a distance.

"What did Rigel say?" Yuri approached Takumi and asked worriedly.

"He's just saying how we're doing here. However, he did not explain the situation there." Takumi was a little uneasy from not knowing the situation out there.

"From that, we better not waste any longer here." Further.

They continued their journey towards the inside of Tortoise's body. This place is similar to a cave, but the difference is that the roof and walls are made of flesh and disgusting slime wet this place.

Thanks to the golden light Rigel gave them, they didn't have to worry about vision, because there was almost no light in here.

"I'm still curious..is that little light really Rigel's secret informant? well, what exactly are you?" Yuri began to ask the light in hopes of getting an answer from him.

The golden light only drifted left and right while leading the way. Yuri sighed in disappointment for not getting any answers from him. From the beginning he had been wrong to ask a beam of light.

"Stop." Takatsumi stopped everyone and stared at the road in front of him. "There are five roads... What should we do..." Takatsumi was getting restless.

These five roads lead to different places. Once they take the wrong path, it will take quite a long time to get back to the starting point. Not to mention, the biggest problem was that this place was not a place they recognized. All in great confusion to choose which path is best.

"The chances of success of each path are only 20%... It's just like we have to answer multiple choice during an exam. But the difference is we don't know the clue to the correct answer..." Nadia called out her thoughts.

As Nadia said, there is only a 20% chance of choosing the right path. In this situation, an additional 1% is needed. While the others were in confusion, the golden light began to continue its journey to the far left. Everyone looked at the light and remembered what Rigel had said that it would lead to the seal.

"It looks like we're going our separate ways here... Fight as best you can..." Yuri waved her hand and went towards the leftmost road with her team, leaving the heart team in confusion.

"Looks like the left-most lane you're going through. If so, how about we choose the right one?Or do we split up and everyone takes one path?" Argo called for his opinion.

"That might be a good idea, but it's too dangerous to move alone in a place like this." Takatsumi rejects Argo's proposal.

"What about the two? if we choose the wrong path, we only need to return to the starting point and to the path we have not yet traced. In addition, the risk becomes smaller." Takumi made a proposal.

"That's not a bad suggestion. Then, Argo and I took the second path from the right." Marcel approves Takumi's proposal and heads for road number two from the right with Argo.

"Then we take the number one from the right, yeah. Let's hurry, Takumi." Takatsumi leads the way and the heart team splits into two halves.

After quite a long walk, Takumi who was walking behind Takatsumi kept glancing at her occasionally. Takatsumi realizes that, at first he thinks that Takumi will talk soon, but that doesn't come from him. Giving up on that, Takatsumi directly asked him...

"What's wrong Takumi? if there's something you want to talk about, just say it." Takatsumi kept going.

Takumi hesitated a little and refused to say it. But it is very rare that he can be alone with Takatsumi in a place that will not be heard by anyone. Inevitably, he had to say it.

"... I want to say some things that have bogged my mind up until now... It's about you and Rigel..." Takumi looked straight at the back of Takatsumi who was in front of him.

Hearing that from Takumi, Takatsumi was a little jolted in shock but he regained his composure quickly and waited for Takumi to continue his words.

Did Rigel tell Takumi that? When did he do it? If Takumi finds out, it will be troublesome in the future...

"I remember Rigel once saying who witnessed his death to the end... At first I didn't understand what he meant, but after I thought about it, you and King Altucray were the ones who watched Rigel fall. Me and Yuri did not witness it because the King told her to and I did not want to see it either...But now I regret it..." Sadness began to etch on Takumi's face, his eyes began to bow and looked back at Takatsumi with a hint of suspicion.

"When you came back with a trembling body, I thought you were crying, but I don't remember finding any signs that you were crying. Also, your hand was injured back then which I thought you were hitting a rock or something out of annoyance but... When Rigel showed up a year later and infiltrated the royal hall... Whether it's just my imagination or not, you seem pretty scared of something... So is King Altucray..." Takumi began to reveal his suspicions one by one, while Takatsumi quietly held his sword and prepared to pull it off at any time.

"I don't remember you ever having a fight with Rigel before, but why is the distance between you guys so far away? why don't you try to avenge his death just like I did? and why do you insist on making that girl your bride?even if Rigel is alive?... Say Takatsumi, what happened between you and Rigel..." Takumi looked at Takatsumi sharply and angrily.

"I'm sure there's something going on in that ravine and only you, Rigel and King Altucray know..." Takumi is getting to the core of his problem.

You can too, Takumi. I can't believe it's come this far... If so, I might kill you right now...

Takumi who was staring intently suddenly exhaled to dampen his emotions and stopped walking, so did Takatsumi.

"Sorry, it's not... At first I wanted to ask you if you killed Rigel or something, but I didn't have enough evidence and I didn't find any motive to push you to do that...Besides I'm still curious about the intent of a lost hero going berserk when he loses his sacred protection. But he's actually fine... Well, let's forget this conversation." Takumi immediately walked past Takatsumi who was still silent and looked at him.

"For example... If I really killed Rigel, what would you do?" Takatsumi asked, although it seemed risky to ask this.

Takumi stopped walking and turned to look at Takatsumi as he said, "I'll chop off your head and make you goblin food." Takumi's face was filled with anger and hatred. He was not playing around, his threat was real and was evident from the radiance of his anger.

"so." Takatsumi responded flatly and resumed his journey.

First Rigel, now you are, Takumi. You also turned into a completely different person to your previous self, Takumi. But not only you and Rigel are going through a big change, but me too... I can't go back anymore...

Takatsumi looked at Takumi who was now walking in front of him. There is one thing that makes him interested about Takumi, which is his obsession with Rigel. He remembers Takumi once saying that Rigel was the first friend he had, which meant he had no friend figure in the world before. He thought of one possible thing and smiled slightly at it.

So yeah... I understand Takumi. The reason you value such friendships so much, and the reason you don't have friends, is probably because you're a bully...

Behind a great figure like Takumi seems to be a fragile soul and afraid of a hell named loneliness. The person who smiles the most is the one who has deep wounds... It seemed like those words were not mere figures of speech...
