Hero Creator: The Last Hero
Ch. 78 — Blood of Phoenix & Phoenix Tear

“Are you sure? Your condition is not said to be okay.” Rigel himself was worried about sending the sick to the battlefield.

Random action also has its limits, injured people will not make the situation better. There are quite a lot of things worth worrying about if Hazama is sent in with such a condition.

“You better rest a little more, brother Hazama. Just leave this to Father as well as me, moving recklessly won't help. You might give other loads.”

Leo's words sounded piercing and quite painful but the fact is that what he said was true. If Hazama insists on forcing herself, instead of helping, she may become a burden. Of all the things Rigel dislikes at least such an existence.

An existence that does not provide any help but gives more headaches. The wise choice was to ban it but what could be done because there was something that made Rigel wish from Hazama.

“It hurts when younger says it.” Hazama smiled wryly at Leo, he certainly did not feel angry because he knew his words were for his good as well, “But I would never be able to rest in peace when he knew it was like this. Besides it's different with Nadia, I didn't have a deep wound that was severe enough.”

Nadia who ignored the defense and focused her stats on attack as well as speed, would definitely receive a deep wound that was not light with the fight against Kemuel.

His opponent remains bad even though Nadia is a natural enemy of strong defense users. But still Kemuel is not an easy opponent, because in fact they did not manage to kill him. Maybe if it wasn't for Rafael's interference, it's been a long time since Kemuel's gone.

“I have also not used Pride, there should be no problem. In addition, my Shield is best against all attacks that affect the senses.” Hazama touched her shield which immediately gave off a sparkle.

“Even if the curse you do not use and there are no injuries in worrying, your stamina has a limit. And I'm sure his recovery isn't as fast as mine, even your stamina recovery speed isn't close to Leo.”

Leo was a young man who had amazingly surpassed many Heroes. Despite his position as Takatsumi's successor, although he is not the first holder, the reality is Leo is easily adaptable. The current Sword Hero was probably much stronger than the previous generation.

Not only is his talent great in swordsmanship. Leo also has extensive knowledge, many techniques from the many teachers he has, as well as the factor that he is a Demi-human who has innate abilities as well as quick recovery makes him an important asset in this war.

“You don't have to worry. Since the beginning of the Shield is a weapon used to support, I have cards to play myself. This card is very useful for situations like this. Besides, I was able to recover stamina with potion.” Hazama smiled and insisted on jumping into battle.

“Potion is good because it can recover strength. But how confident are you, that Capella will give you time to do it? Besides, tell me what kind of card you mean. I won't tolerate it if it's only your soft wits to go.”

Rigel makes a facial expression that seems to indicate that he does not hesitate to hurt Hazama if he continues to push himself, especially to the point of lying to have cards to play. As said before, forcing yourself will only cause headaches elsewhere.

Although there should be no doubt that maybe Hazama really has it, but Rigel is not the one who will be withered with a mouth that sounds good to hear.

“Ya, what can I do.” Hazama no longer has the intention to keep it hidden, after all sooner or later his strength will be revealed, “This card allows for me to recover stamina for special circumstances.”

“And what special circumstances do you mean?”

“That state is a time where I feel tired as well as desperate, there will be buffs that allow for an overall increase in stats and a faster recovery of strength. Although there is a time limit to use, but I believe the time is more than enough to beat Capella.”

That is indeed a good card if rethought, especially the overall statistical improvement section. Hazama's defense would be very strong if it was upgraded to some extent and for that there seemed to be no gap for Rigel to overcome the stone-headed man.

Rigel sighed tiredly and gave up holding Hazama back even further, he took something from inside his storage, “ Just in case bring this. I don't want to waste resources but losing important assets like you is more detrimental.”

Hazama catches two small potion bottles thrown by Rigel. He tried to identify the object and was immediately surprised that it was so valuable. Hazama was quite curious how he could get it given that the situation at that time did not allow him to take it.

“I've never used such things during a fight. Sometimes I always forget that there are many useful objects in the storage of the system that I do not need.”

Although in the past Rigel had often seen a level increase every time he killed a monster, Rigel had almost never accessed Index, there was even a time where he had forgotten about her existence. After all he felt that he did not need to use it just to see the skill.

The only ability of Creator's power, Imagination Creator, allows Rigel to use the skill without the need to see the list. Although there are many skills that need to use Index because it is not memorized, most of them are useless.

“I'm sorry I said this, but you really did waste on some occasions, right? This potion is very valuable and able to turn things around at a certain time. Are you sure you gave it?” Hazama asked to confirm once more.

“Yes. You know the benefits of both without the need for me to explain it, right? You may need it more than me. After all there is no circumstance where I need the potion because it is able to recover it with my ability.” Rigel raises his right hand and makes Hazama understand him.

The Hero's knowledge is that Rigel has a strange power in his right hand, and Rigel doesn't explain any further because it's troublesome. The Heroes have seen for themselves that Rigel's power is too great to need no potions.

In reality the Void was not in the right hand, but directly rooted into the soul. Even if Rigel's right and left hands are missing, the Void will still be there even though it may not be usable.

“So so, with your strength this potion is just a joke. Then I'll take it. Thank you, Rigel. I'll go soon.” Hazama teleports to the closest point to the battlefield and heads towards Aland's place.

In silence Rigel picked up another object and handed it to Leo.

“You also took this, Leo. Use it when your situation is bad. You will need it most when the fight starts.”

Rigel also warned against using it to people not needed in war. Like ordinary soldiers, the King, even Bellemere classmates are not obliged to be given the potion. But of course Rigel will not oppose it because the use of the potion will be Leo's freedom.

“What is this so valuable?” Leo asked, looking at the stranger.

“Blood of Phoenix, and Phoenix Tear. The resources that can only be obtained from the Catastrophic Monster, do you think it is easy to obtain them? Maybe what you have is the last one in this world.”

Rigel explained that Phoenix Tear is able to heal all sorts of severe injuries, even a dying person can recover completely if using it. His ability is certainly as great as the difficulty to get it. If Hazama hadn't come like this, Rigel would have completely forgotten about it.

“Then for Blood Of Phoenix, what are the benefits?”

“You will know when using it. That thing has a condition to use, when someone can no longer be saved by the Phoenix Tear, then use it. For Blood Of Phoenix, I hope to use it for yourself.”

With such a harsh explanation, Leo should understand the abilities of the Blood of Phoenix. He kept looking at her for a while. Soon Leo kept the Phoenix Tear and left the Blood of Phoenix in his hands, then he returned it to Rigel.

“What does it mean?” Rigel coldly asked, he would not accept any rejection from Leo.

Leo broke out in a cold sweat by accidentally provoking Rigel's anger, “No, I don't mean resist, Dad. But for some reason I think it's best that you keep this to yourself. I won't need it.”

Leo smiled brightly like a five-year-old. Rigel did not accept it because his kindness was denied but seeing the smile made Rigel ignore him and return the Blood of Phoenix back to its original place.
