Black Hero
Crystal blue

We walked into the forest near the village.

The forest is beautiful green, the wind that blows feels cool, shady trees are also floating leaves.

We walked towards the middle of the forest and found a waterfall. It was indeed almost similar to the one in the forest of death but the water here was so clear and clean.

There was a stream that led to the village of Nero but a large rock blocked the stream.

How could a rock this big come here?

I thought about how this stone moved because if it was logically thought that normal humans could not lift it, I looked at Brull and thought maybe Brull might be the size or someone moved using magic.

While I was thinking, Brull eagerly wanted to destroy the boulder.

"Alright, it's my turn. I'm gonna smash this big rock."

Brull gathered all his strength in hand and used the electrical element. When Brull hit the stone, the lightning in Brull's hand shocked the stone and it broke into small pebble-sized stones and water began to flow back into the village.

"Well, the stone is broken."

Lilith was overjoyed to see the huge rock blocking the flow of water had been destroyed.

"Ugh."

Without me noticing an attack coming and making my body hollow and it seemed like it was destroying my heart. I collapsed to the ground because my body could not deliver.

My eyes felt heavy but I tried to hold my eyes open.

Due to the sudden attack, all were shocked and immediately looked towards the direction the attack came from. A laser-like attack came from above the waterfall.

"Hmph, I don't think the one who defeated 100 orcs, died that easily."

The attack came from a mysterious man standing on top of a waterfall.

"Who are you?"

With Brull loudly shouting and his face looking like he was holding back a cry, his eyes started to tear up. Riska and Llilith fell to the ground as the shock left them with their legs limp.

The mysterious man jumped off the top and I felt like I had seen him before. He was wearing the same clothes as the villagers and in his hands was like a glove in his palm that had a circle, it seemed like the attack that had just come from the glove.

The mysterious man looked to be in his 30s, he said nothing and began to look at us like something insignificant.

"Uncle Rev?"

Lilith looked at the man and called out a name.

"Oh, Lilith you're here."

Uncle? looks like I just heard that Lilith just mentioned uncle. Is he Lilith's uncle.

"Uncle, what are you doing?"

Lilith felt confused by someone she knew suddenly attacking. His uncle Lilith smiled slightly and said...

"I'm here to take something and since you've come to destroy the stone I'm forced to attack you."

"Why?"

Lilith was distressed and shocked by what her uncle had just said. His face seemed to feel betrayed.

"Stop pretending, I've healed his wound."

My body was back to normal and my clothes were fine, no tears or bloodshed.

"Despite your clothes you cast magic to avoid a sudden attack but it has no effect on my crystal."

I was confused but when I saw the glove there was a bright blue crystal attached to the back of the hand.

I stood as if nothing had happened. I took out Azazel's sword and put a red Crystal on the sword.

"Red Stone"

His sword made a sound as I put up his Crystal.

"It looks like you have something in common with mine."

All staring at me, Lilith and Riska immediately ran over and hugged me with tears coming out.

Brull wiped his tears and smiled to see me. Uncle Rev seemed to have the same weapon as Azazel's sword.

"No way!? Impossible!? why are you still moving?"

"What's wrong? are you surprised. Fight with me and if I win, give you that blue Crystal."

He was bluffing his teeth and holding back his annoyance, as he could not help but start shooting with luck.

Phews...

I deflected it with a sword while protecting Riska and Lilith who were still holding me.

He kept shooting until his gloves exploded.

Duar...

"It's over?"

Due to the explosion, his face blackened, his hair rose up and his hands were burned. The blue crystal disappeared after the explosion.

I pointed my sword at his face and he was so scared that I could see his pants wet from bedwetting.

"Hii, it shouldn't be like this... Wh why?

I walked up to him and ignored his talk and asked him a question.

"Now say. Why are you attacking me and what is your purpose? can you answer that?"

He just gritted his teeth and threw away his face. Brull who saw his attitude was irritated and pulled his collar.

"My friend is asking you."

Brull shook him to get him to talk but he said nothing.

Because of the shock, he was finally willing to open his mouth.

"I was told to take this blue Crystal because it responds to you having a red Crystal so I kill you to get it that way, it will give me a lot of money."

Hearing the story there are still some things that make me think, first who is 'he' he mentioned and secondly, what is the reason for blocking the flow of the river.

It seems like the second one is to get the Blue Crystal.

"Who's the 'he' you mentioned."

"I don't know, he didn't mention his name and also he always wears a black robe so I can't see his face."

"Is it all?"

Brull raised him high up.

"I said it, please let me go."

I looked around and found no blue Crystal anywhere.

"One more question. Where's the blue crystal?"

"I don't know, you might go back to where it came from."

Back to the origin? where did it come from? looking at his expression he did not lie at all.

"Brull let him go."

He ran straight towards the village.

"The blue crystal signifies water, meaning it is under a waterfall."

Hearing Azazel who suddenly said that, I walked up to the waterfall and looked at the water. My shoulder suddenly felt hot as if it was burning, I picked up the origin of the heat. It came from the red crystal, its crystal lit up flickering like a lamp.

"Crystal shine?"

It seems like the red crystal is responding to the blue crystal. I brought the red crystal closer to the water and directly dived into the water.

At the bottom of the water a blue-colored light shone very brightly, I swam quickly and approached the light.

The light came from a shell inside which was a blue crystal. However, when I tried to retrieve it a large tentacle hit me until I bounced away.

What was that?

A huge octopus was protecting the clam, I could not approach it and I could not use magic and red crystals in the water. I tried to swim up but the octopus pulled my leg.

The octopus tied me up with its tentacles making me unable to move and I was almost out of breath.

The ring I was wearing came off and fell down. The octopus immediately took off its grip and left just like that.
