Hero Creator: The Last Hero
Ch. 22 — Terrible Strength

“Void Stage Four — Life.”

With a short word that echoed, the Acnologia that began to form its body crashed several meters back. His body also shrank, the energy gathered from the other dragons he absorbed, being reabsorbed by Rigel.

“You ...your left hand grows back, Rigel?” Yuri was shocked when she saw Rigel.

Not only his hand, but the left eye that the machine was supposed to have now become a real eye, as if it had never been hurt before. The iris of his left eye is different from his blue right eye, his left eye is actually red without light, but from the way the movement is clear Rigel can see through that eye.

For his left hand, yes it grew back with a slight difference in the color of his skin. His left hand was pale white, although it looked burly like his right hand, there was clearly something else from his hand.

Ignoring the shock among his comrades, Rigel looked around with a blank face. He finds Gahdevi dead while Takumi and the others are seriously injured.

Sylph herself was fine but she obviously spent a lot of strength to use such a powerful Territory, even Rigel acknowledged that Sylph's Territory was as strong as his.

Why does he know that? Surely he knew because while in the previous power ball, Rigel also got information about everything that was going on around him.

“Dad ... what happened to you?” leo asked with concern.

Rigel nonchalantly walked up to them, more precisely he headed towards a huge body that was no longer lifeless. One of his subordinates was killed again, the casualties required for this fight were not few.

Rigel took out an eyeball that Takumi gave him, something he did not dare to try.

“You have worked hard for me, Gahdevi. As a gift, I will turn your body into strength for me.”

Stretching out his left hand, Rigel absorbed Gahdevi's body as his right hand absorbed the power of the eyes he had in his hand. Before the next battle arrived, he needed a lot of strength in hopes of taking them out at once.

“A-what are you doing, dad?!” Leo shouted furiously as he saw Gahdevi's body being absorbed into particles of light.

He ignored her and let the coldness permeate his body. Soon, pain accompanied and what he saw were various occurrences that he was unfamiliar with.

“Ergh!” Rigel groaned in pain as various events flashed through his head.

‘What the fuck is this .. is it possible, the future?!’ rigel's screams in his heart.

Hundreds of horrifying scenes as well as various griefs appeared in his memory like cassettes spinning in fast time. If only he could not endure the pain, it was unbelievable that his head would explode.

*After this is over, let's talk as war buddies. This is the peace created thanks to you, Takumi. This war is a chessboard of entertainment for the Gods. Long time no see, let's end this. As the one who was cast out of heaven, I will bring darkness into it. Sorry Rigel, even though you and my mom saved me, my memory of that day is gone.

What exactly is the power in your right hand and explain to us about the shortcomings and advantages of Skill Creator. A burden this big still can't carry it, Dad. Mr. Rigel, just as Gahdevi ended, when my death came use my body to become your strength.

This peace means nothing. I am an existence of obscurity, Aludra. Stop Rigel! You fought too hard. Sorry, but you have to forget about Amatsumi Rigel, Tirith. As a Hero, I will avenge the death of another Hero. The death of Ozaru and the others may have been fate, including your actions this Rigel. Yo, long time no see, my son. You are the one who wanders to various places in loneliness and suffering, the Last Hero*.

Not in order, he did not know which one would happen soon or what would happen at the end. It is enough to doubt whether it is really the future or a false memory as the spirit tree showed during the test.

Rigel staggers over with a headache, he immediately returns to focus on Acnologia trying to gather strength but Rigel continues to draw on the power Acnologia has managed to gather.

“Void Stage Four — Life ... Absorb!” Rigel extended his left hand.

A much greater force penetrated his body, while Acnologia grew smaller until Rigel finally eliminated it. With his right hand that seemed to be touching something, the figure of Acnologia vanished like it never existed.

“Ke-gruesome power what is it?” sylph murmured with cold sweat drenching the body.

Even in his long life, he had never witnessed anything like this. Be it him or Lucifer, they'll never be able to do what Rigel did.

‘Phase Four ... This power is terrible. I did not expect this stage to be able to grow the missing body parts.’ Inner Rigel while looking at the shining runes all over his body.

The power of Void itself is really a mystery, even Rigel is not very understanding about how it works. He only knows one thing for sure now—

—void power is not something only his right hand is capable of using.

“Before I only had one hand, it seems that Void can not be used to its fullest with only one hand.”

The hand used for using Void power must be the real hand, not the machine. Even this time the runes were not only painting his right hand, but his entire body.

‘If this assumption is correct then, this stage allows me to regenerate the missing parts of my body.’

It cannot be harmed, then it would be equally as if he was immortal if he used Stage Four. Whether this is a good or bad thing, Rigel wonders why Azartooth gave this power to him.

“Rigel— no. Are you really Rigel?” sylph asked coldly.

He did not want to act wrongly, there was nothing more terrifying than finding the unknown. Rigel is a mystery, but nothing like this has ever been seen.

If he was Rigel then thank God, but if he wasn't Rigel other figure floating his body.

Rigel knew the shock of Sylph and the other Heroes was natural. After all Rigel killed many people to make them his strength, their cries could be heard by him.

“ ... It's me, Amatsumi Rigel, the earth person who was called to this world.” she tried to convey her smile, but the smile contained emptiness.

Hearing the word ‘Bumi’ is enough for Heroes to explain that he really is a real Rigel. Gratitude wanted to be spoken but Rigel stopped them.

“Now is not the time to be happy, there are other guests who need to be given attention ... Come outside! When to wait?” Rigel gave a cold look to the sky.

The sound of laughter started to echo, Lucifer's figure along with his Demon Pillar appeared as if they had been there from the beginning. Sylph who was completely unaware of his presence was stunned, she then remembered that there was one Demon Pillar that had the ability to refract light.

“It seems like being quiet and waiting for you tired is indeed a silly idea, right, Amatsumi Rigel?” Lucifer smiled cynically with a condescending look.

Everyone was on standby and intent on attacking, but Rigel raised his hand to stop them. His actions are confusing but they soon find out Rigel's intent to stop him.

“I'm glad you came to be killed, Lucifer. But right now my only concern is for the bastard who kidnapped my friend.” Rigel sends a strong enough Void wave in a certain direction.

Uniquely, something resisted his attack as if there was an invisible wall. Soon the wall revealed a figure in a golden robe that covered his entire body, with a mirror in his hand that held a girl, he was the abductor of Priscilla.

...***...

**Yo, long time no see, how are you? May you always be healthy. I want to say some things that might be important, maybe not.

With the changes in regulations that provide guaranteed levels and minimum income, I intend to complete the work with the title: Mate On a Remote Island!

Just as The Last Hero started entering the final round after more than a year of making it, JDPT also started entering the *******.

With the bonus of 60k for level 7 and below, I chose JDPT to complete first, The Last Hero will be consistent updates afterwards.

Maybe it's selfish because I kind of abandoned you, but please forgive me. And maybe this is a little self-destructive, if you please, at the end of December my work with the title WSP will appear in a physical book.

For those of you who may have sustenance, if you want to buy without any coercion, yes.

Thank you, sorry for having to hang you. I will be as much as possible to make The Last Hero update consistently every day at the beginning of next year. For now, probably no later than after my 10 days update, the fastest possible with a 2 or 3 day period**.
