Thirty minutes had passed since the Merial ordered the ships to sail back to their main destination, the island of Yurazania. The crew continued to work hard to achieve their ultimate goal. At first, Rigel wanted to liberate the island of Yurazania and make Cold with his real identity Asoka Van Yurazania a heavenly emperor.
The heavenly emperor was someone who would lead the entire human army during the great war of Ragnarok. Had the heroes been busy dealing with demon pillars or seraphim, that was where the heavenly emperor would have intervened in place of the hero to lead the army. When the heavenly emperor had been chosen, the entire country of this continent had to fulfill everything that the heavenly emperor needed for a great war. Rigel wants Cold to be the heavenly emperor because he doesn't want the title to fall into the wrong hands.
That's why Rigel wreaked havoc in the Britannian throne room and turned everyone's attention so that Cold could infiltrate the place where the divination stone was located and participate in the selection of the heavenly emperor. For that, Rigel needs a place so that he can build his army and get many achievements so that the name Asoka Van Yurazania increasingly viewed highly by the community or other candidates. The first step that Rigel and the others took was to conquer the monster Hydra and free the abandoned island of Yurazania.
With Takumi's help and Rigel's Modern weapons, they defeat a monster that stands in their way. Then, today comes. The day a monster haunts the world for hundreds of years is defeated by a hero who rises from the dead. Hero Creator, Amatsumi Rigel's. Now, the abandoned island of Yurazania has been liberated and now, Merial, Asoka and the others have made their way to the island of Yurazania.
"Her island... It's been spotted...!!!"
A crew member screamed to tell everyone. Merial exited the ship cabin and looked at the place the soldier pointed at. The island still looks good, the forest is still green and not polluted at all. Even from the ocean, a castle or the ruins of a palace are visible.
"Good work everything. Green smoke signal shots... Prepare your modern weapons and stay alert. We'll be anchored soon."
"Well...!!!"
The crew moved in unison and went to the warehouse to retrieve the weapons Rigel had prepared. It didn't take long for the entire crew to get ready. They will remain on board and wait for the sign of Cold and Merial to descend first. The reason only Merial and Cold were down was very easy. They did not want the origin soldiers to shoot the monsters they saw. According to Cold, there is still a possibility if relatives or residents of Yurazania are still surviving on the island.
"Merial, if I can I want you not to use your magic sword. I'm worried that the monster we're meeting with is one of the residents of Yurazania."
"Calm down Asoka... What do you think this whip I brought is for...?? This whip is used for this kind of situation. I'll catch every monster that attacks or runs away from us without hurting it."
"Good then... Let's go in."
Cold and Merial smiled at each other and walked towards the forest simultaneously. The forest was filled with grass and tree branches where. There are no trails anywhere. It seems very clear that this forest has not been visited for many years. Cold looked sad but he still hoped that there would be people on the island. Merial sees that and tries to blow Cold away.
"Calm down, Asoka... We are still not too far from the beach so, let's go to the Yurazania palace. There may be people still alive in there."
Merial patted Cold's shoulder gently. He simply smiled and nodded in agreement with Merial. They began to enter and walk even further into the forest.
Srek.
Cerial and Cold heard a faint sound from the bush. They began to be vigilant and did not give the slightest gap. Cold shouting...
"Who's there?!"
...
There's no reply. Merial began to prepare his whip to catch what was there. But before doing so, something started to come out from within the bush. It was a rabbit.
"Huh~ turned out to be just a little rabbit."
Merial breathed a sigh of relief while Cold was somehow a little disappointed and relaxed his shoulders in lethargy. Then, a black figure jumped from the trees and tried to tear Cold's body with its claw claws.
"Ear...!!!"
Sherial yells at Cold. He managed to avoid it thanks to the warning of Merial. It was like a black wolf with a big wound on its chest. He appears to be wearing human pants. Cold collected the mana in his hands and used the martial arts he remembered as a child. He swung his fist at the creature's shoulder tightly. However, his movements were easily handled by the wolf and now Cold was locked and unable to move.
This movement is no stranger to Cold. He felt very nostalgic when in the lock like this then he started to call for something...
"Commander Fang...?? Are you komanfan Fang?!"
"Where did you know it was an intruder...?"
"It's me, Commander...!! I'm Asoka, your only student..."
"A-asoka...? Not likely... You're still alive...??"
The wolf that seemed to be named Fang, released Cold and slowly stepped back in shock and disbelief. To convince him, Cold transfomates into his male human form to confirm that he is really Asoka. A lion is the embodiment of the Beastman ancestors named Ashland. He was a mighty lion who set up a place for the Beastmen and various other races to live together. Only members of the royal family can transform into lions.
"You really are Asoka..."
Commander Fang returned to his human form and hugged Cold while crying happily. Although his wolf form looks rough, but in his human form he looks like a very gentle and friendly man. Cold hugged back and said "Emm, I'm home" and cried.
The witnessing Merial smiled gently and had no intention of interrupting their precious reunion. However, still they can't waste time because Rigel and Takumi are bad enough to get better care.
"Commander Fang, is there anyone else besides you still alive? If there is, can you take us there? The heroes are being critical at the moment and need quick treatment."
Cold also understood that he had no time to waste. So he blatantly asked Commander Fang.
"P-hero...?!"
Commander Fang looked extremely shaken when he heard the word hero. However, he agreed and nodded. Then, Merial said...
"Then let's pick up the others."
Cold and Commander Fang nodded and went to where everyone was. Not wasting any time, they brought along Rigel who was still unconscious and Takumi who was following far behind due to the power of his laziness.
***
In Britannia, in a throne room there is an old man who is the king of the kingdom of Britannia, king Altucray is sitting on his throne. In fact, Tirith's daughter was also there, she just wanted to hear the news about Rigel and not care about what the nobles were arguing about.
On the other hand, Takatsumi and Yuri were not in the palace. I don't know what, since Rigel's appearance in the throne room, he seems a bit strange. Maybe because the engagement was canceled or something else. For Yuri, he still actively killed powerful monster beasts and leveled up. For Takumi, his current whereabouts are unknown namub Takatsumi assumes if Takumi goes with Rigel.
Then, a witch wearing a hood barged in with a rush and shouted.
"Your Majesty ... Your Eminence...!!!"
He knelt down in front of King Altucray and calmed his breath then spoke.
"What's up...? Speak clearly..."
"Your Majesty... Just now, the Divination stone shone again and wrote a message that the Hydra doom monster had been defeated by the Faction of the new candidate named Asoka Van Yurazania..."
"What...?! They managed to defeat that disastrous monster in the near future...?! I thought it would take them a little longer to prepare."
On the other hand, Tirith seemed very happy when she found out that Rigel and the others had managed to defeat the monster. Tirith realized that the Rigel now was different from the one before. He is much stronger now. Even so, whether or not Rigel survived is still unknown to Tirith.
I hope you're okay, Rigel... Do not break your promise to live...
"All right, good job... Send intel to investigate the rest of the fight. Then, please tell this to the sword hero and the bow hero. They have to get there to absorb a little bit of Hydra's body..."
"Well...!!!"
News of the defeat of the doom monsters had spread rapidly through the divination stones and the merchants who were getting information from the nobles. In the next two weeks, for the first time the twelve heroes will meet to absorb the Hydra's body in order to increase their strength.
