Hero Creator: The Last Hero
Ch. 81 — Supreme Commander, Jahoel

Upon arrival at Britannia Yuri and Salazar put Petra in the treatment room. They gave directions to deal with Petra and the special squads that dealt with the wounded Heroes quickly prepared plenty of holy water to neutralize the curse of jealousy.

Yuri was still worried about Petra's state and she waited for some time until a healer came out carrying good news.

“Nona Yuri, currently Miss Petra's condition has stabilized. The curse his body unleashed due to the strength of the hero had reduced and the impact from touching it had already been significantly reduced. But that does not mean he is fine, for now all I can say is that you do not have to worry about it. Also, it seems that it is already impossible for Miss Petra to fight again.” The healer said with a sad feeling and his face bowed.

This terrible thing happened when Petra faced a Seraphim. In the current battlefield not only demons, but angels, also humans were on the same stage with the same goal, destroying other races for victory.

Many people who were in Britannia and people who were inside the protectors of the Stone of Divination were curious about the situation of the battlefield. They are currently just a flock of birds sheltering in a cage. Whatever happens outside the cage they will know nothing but the birds that come out to fight.

Hearing the physician say that Petra would not be able to fight, Yuri must have guessed. Let alone fighting, getting up from his bed alone was already very difficult for Petra who would live the rest of her life paralyzed and deaf.

Such a sad outcome of the decision he made. The world is deserted, no one who has just entered that world forever will not be easy to get used to. There must be a painful feeling that Petra will feel, not even impossible she will regret.

“Imagining Petra paralyzed and unable to hear, really makes my heart ache.” Yuri held onto her chest with a painful face.

The doctor felt the same. Rather than the pain in his heart, the physician was saddened by his helplessness. Letting the Heroes whose age was clearly just two head to head fight for the human race, the useless old generation like him could only close their eyes to see it.

As an old generation, the healer could only pray for the safety of the warriors and Heroes who fought on the front lines. How chaotic was that place that became a battlefield? No one understands it for sure, even the history that will carve this event will not be able to give a picture of the battlefield.

“Then, what about Salazar? The one who took Petra and let her body burn.” Yuri immediately switched the conversation.

The healer nodded and explained that Salazar's state was also fine because with holy water and healing magic, the wounds he had healed. Although it leaves an ugly burn scar, the rest is safe.

Yuri was grateful that just touching Petra for a few minutes would not lead to death. Although Salazar was willing to sacrifice his life, not losing anyone was still the best option they had.

Although his existence might be small in a war of this largest scale, at least they should not lose a person as capable as him so quickly. Salazar will certainly provide more useful assistance in the future, especially when the final wave of this war will arrive.

Few but if there were as many people as Salazar then this war would probably be much easier with the increasing number of capable people.

“Then where is he?”

As if a thread had just broken between them, Yuri and the healer were stunned and stared at each other. Their faces were like people who had just seen ghosts as something strange.

Then in the middle of the strange incident the healer looks confused and tries hard to remember something. He did not know what had just happened, nor did he know what was in the chat between the two of them.

“Sorry to be presumptuous, Miss Yuri. But ... what did we just talk about?” The doctor decided to ask for her sudden confusion. Even though he was already elderly, it shouldn't be this severe to forget the thing that was being talked about.

Yuri held her head as if it hurt, she was sweating quite a lot. His head felt swirling, his heart felt troubled because it was as if something had just been taken from his head.

“A-I don't know. I remember asking you about Petra's condition, but, what do I discuss next? What is happening ..” Yuri's face met with the healer while she was understanding what was really going on.

The faces of the two did not look good, as if they were looking at each other as monsters. It is unbelievable that the two experienced a phenomenon more bizarre than Ragnarok.

Yuri re-settle herself. He recalled the incident from himself meeting Petra who was caught off guard against Kalkydras. Petra's condition was stable thanks to the help of a witch who tried hard to cure Petra.

‘At that time there was ... four witches? They tried very hard to cure Petra. When his condition started to improve, did I bring Petra myself?’

But there were no injuries on his body except for a slightly burnt index finger, although it was now recovering. Even so how do I bring Petra here unharmed? It became even stranger in retrospect, Petra felt that something had disappeared so suddenly.

Seeing Yuri's state that was clearly confused and did not understand the situation, the healer could not let her pass by. Yuri was a valuable asset in this war, making him take on many useless thoughts needed to be cleared up.

“Maybe Miss Yuri is feeling exhausted. For me personally it is natural for you, the present situation is very confusing even for me. It would be best for Jona to rest for a while before returning to the forefront, I am sure that even Hero Rigel will not immediately deploy you.” The healer tries to get Yuri to go to her room to sleep.

But from the face that is still so complicated it is clear that Yuri is reluctant to do so. When everyone was struggling, he just relaxed in the palace, it was outrageous, once Yuri thought about it.

“You don't need to worry, Miss. From what I heard through the army delivering a message to the other soldiers, the next wave will be delivered. The only army ruled by Hero Rigel. In addition, the Heavenly Emperor, Emperor Asoka had already lowered the command for the second part of humanity preparing to be lowered as well as the preparation for the delivery of the weapons of the Region.”

Hearing this made Yuri unable to linger, but if Rigel intervened on his own then the next few hours of the war situation could be controlled. Not to mention if the weapons Rigel made will be delivered in a few more hours, at least Yuri can take a break during that.

“You could be right. With Rigel taking over the course of the war, then there will be time for the human army to calm down for some time.”

“Yes, Hero Creator, Mr. Rigel is the bearer of miracles to mankind. When the second wave of human army dispatch arrives, I make sure come tell you.” The healer bowed respectfully and intonated as if promising to do so.

Yuri smiled wryly and nodded, “Alright. I'll take your advice, then don't forget to summarize the things that might happen during my break.”

“Understanding, Miss.”

Yuri immediately went to rest, without anyone knowing that a man in the Witch Team robe of the Legion army was observing. He observes the state of this country and the actions of Heroes from the highest peak that exists in Britannia.

“I didn't think there was such an interesting event in this world. If I had come ten or twenty years earlier, maybe I could have enjoyed the fun events of this world.” He smiled happily and immediately opened his hood.

The face that continued to be hidden behind the cloak began to look and his long black hair that was like a woman turned green. Her skin was deathly brown and her white teeth were exposed as she continued to smile widely.

“That's a pity, a thousand dear and very unfortunate. I cannot linger in this world because there is nothing I can get from it. I'm really late, because it seems like this world is going to be the birthplace of someone like me. It was possible that this person was weaker or stronger. Well, the right choice draws memories from the people I've met. Before that process begins, I'd better take it out of this world.”

Reddish-eyed with a green crystal on his forehead, the man named Salazar D'arc smiled as he looked at this world for the last time. He felt that he would never find a world like this again, and so he soon disappeared from his place as if it had never existed.

People who have memories of a man named Salazar D'arc will forget him soon. This is not the first time humanity has forgotten the existence of someone who has ever existed in this world.

...*****...

The main battlefield, Regulus approached Bellemere who looked confused. His face was not so good, but somehow he seemed to know. It may be caused by something suddenly crashing in their heads. It was as if something like memories were being forcibly pulled out of his brain.

Regulus did not bother about this and immediately called for Bellemere.

“Bellemere, I remember you leading an army in the north. However, your whereabouts here I do not understand, what is going on?”

As if woken up from his daydream, Bellemere shook his head and tidied himself up. As soon as he went in too deep while thinking, Bellemere himself would not be conscious even if his body was stabbed several times.

“I'm sorry, King Regulus.” Bellemere slightly lowered his head before staring at the Legion soldiers retreating slowly from the north, “From what the Heavenly Emperor, Kasiar Asoka told us, the fact that the third wave from the angel side will arrive soon.”

Regulus was stunned to learn of the information. The little radio that should have been in his ear was somehow lost to nowhere, and up until now Regulus had not contacted anyone from the Investigation Team who was also in charge of delivering the edict from Rigel and Asoka.

He was surprised but the surprise was only temporary. Of course, only with the arrival of another wave of angels would the course of the battlefield change significantly. But the meaning of Bellemere's actions and the rest of the army retreated, then only one.

“Is it possible that they will deliver those weapons immediately? Wouldn't it be too soon, I don't understand at all.”

Regulus knew most of the plans had been set up and that the deliveries would arrive at the same time as the third or fourth wave of humans. But in reality the second wave had not even been sent, sending those weapons this fast was a bad move.

“No, King Regulus. The weapon will not be delivered now as it is still in preparation.” Bellemere rejected Regulus's thought with courtesy.

“Then what requires you to retreat?” Regulus again asked, he was curious what action was taken by Rigel and Asoka.

Not usually Bellemere behaved like that, Regulus was quite curious what scared him to such an extent. But without the need for him to ask further because soon the cold wind artificially hit them strongly.

Looking to the north Regulus found a terrible sight that despite its distance, he was not blind enough to see black creatures emerge from the ground, filling the land and air. Even Bellemere who already knew it was happening still shook because of it.

In their lives this scene was almost never found, even very rare among demons who possessed such dark power. A strong sense of curiosity drives them to get to know more about who is actually a man named Amatsumi Rigel.

Heroes are the embodiment of holy warriors protected by light, they are great warriors for humans. But what would happen if the exalted Hero used a power even darker than hell itself?

“That power ... Resurrecting dead monsters and living creatures, Necromancer?!” Regulus is surprised not to play by it, “Why does such a power belong to a Hero?”

Regulus recalled the incident where the Gate of the Underworld opened. Back then many demons from hell came loose and made a mess. Thanks to the hard work of the Heroes everything is resolved with the minimum possible casualties.

Soon after this Regulus often got reports of strange monsters made of shadows emerging from the ground and killing the demons. He thought it was a prank, but now he was observing it firsthand.

“Tak is just a monster like a skull. But dragons, and something I could never have imagined ... Hydra, it's there too.” Bellemere took one step back when he saw hundreds of dragons begin to fly and spread, then elicited blue flames from their mouths.

In the midst of the horrors of the army of darkness, there was a huge shadow of a two-headed dragon with a body like a snake, a shadow of a creature that once instilled deep fear for this world, the powerful monster that inhabits the ocean, Hydra.

“M-that creature could, resurrected with a Necromancer?” Regulus was sure he had been bathed by sweat, if Hydra could be resurrected with a Necromancer, then it was not impossible for the others to be the same, “What other calamities are also in his Necromancer ability?!”

This is uncertain, but apart from Hydra there is no other big shadow of the army. Of course there are some dragons that look big but none rival Hydra.

“I'm not sure, but it looks like the Necromancer isn't that powerful. From what I read in a book, the power of the Necromancer has no effect on spirit monsters, monsters close to the fairies.”

Monsters like Tortoise, White Tiger, and Phoenix would not be able to be overpowered by Necromancers because they included spirit beasts. For the last catastrophe, Acnologia, in the last moments of his life he transformed into a half-life and part of himself into a spirit, so that the power of his Necromancer would not function.

It has been confirmed Bellemere because the monster is bigger than anything, the Tortoise is not seen among the dark forces. But still, just with the existence of Hydra and the dragons was already the greatest fighting force.

“So, yes. I know the extra troops in question. So this, huh? I can't believe there are more surprises he can make. Hahaha, I feel ten years older because of it.”

Regulus wondered if there was anything else capable of giving him a greater surprise than this. If that were to happen, he would be prepared to lose his life in shock.

...***...

Rigel was observing the current development of the war from a distance. He had used the Necromancer to reduce the number of enemy soldiers that filled the current battlefield. He originally wanted to send out another wave of human soldiers but the number of angels was currently one-sided.

“I wonder how many of them there are. The number coming next is twice as large as the previous wave.”

There was a need to clean up the remaining angels this time before another wave arrived. If this is not done then it is not surprising that the sky contains angels completely.

“What's Leo? Your face looks bad.” Rigel looked at Leo who was worried about something.

“Nothing, Dad's strength might be surprising. But, I'm worried about Hazama and the others.”

Hazama had left with such a bad condition. Surely these worries are out of place because somehow, Hazama is not a weak protector of humans. Although he was strong in defense yet his attacks were also not to be underestimated.

Full Counter and the curse of pride were among the things to watch out for from him, also the cards he mentioned earlier could be called troublesome things.

Rigel did not worry about him at all, after all he had given away two precious items that would prevent him from reaching the worst situation.

“Take it easy. He has Phoenix Tear and his blood, there will be no chance for him to die as long as he is able to use that thing.”

“But still worrying.”

“Take it easy, even if something happens to them. I've deployed death soldiers to help them, I'm sure it will be fine.” Rigel ruffled Leo's hair.

Immediately he felt a certain feeling, a vibration occurred which originated from the Heavenly Gate, “They arrived.”

The expanse of the sea of angelic troops began to appear, their numbers there were so many that Rigel was able to see them from a very distant location. So many angels Rigel as if to see a cloud of light is attacking.

“It ... there are too many to handle.” Even Leo broke out in cold sweat with the sight of such an incredible troop.

With a long-distance vision Rigel finds a Seraphim leading the army. The Seraphim were about two meters tall, their massive bodies covered in an eccentric white shield, and a sword of light aligned with their faces.

Soon he said something, unfortunately Rigel was unable to hear it from such a long distance. But after that he found a strange movement of the angel army. Different from before that angels move freely and haphazardly.

“What happened, they split the troops into three lines?!” Leo was stunned and began to be astonished because the movement of the angel army was not as usual.

Their movements were more organized and began to attack humans as well as demons. With such an orderly movement the army of angels or Armageddon would be a great threat. Rigel smiled wryly and believed his decision was right to deploy the Death Squad.

“If my knowledge is correct, then only one Seraphim is possible to do such a thing from Armageddon.”

For whatever reason but the names of the Seraphim are the same as those on earth. Each of these names has a specific role and ability. Rigel felt lucky that he was interested in mythological stories and the like while still on earth.

Who would have thought that such knowledge would be useful at a time like this. The phrase broad knowledge will help you in many ways seems appropriate. Especially about learning the basic concepts of things. In fact, it is very useful for Rigel's Creator skill.

Although his power of Imagination Creator was able to realize the thing that was in his memory despite the little knowledge he had, it was still possible to create it. Such as cars, motorcycles, tanks and drones that use simple concepts.

With magic in this world, even if an object like a car is unable to walk, thanks to magic it will not be junk.

“Do you know the newly arrived Seraphim?” Ask Leo curiously.

“Yes. Seraphim who became supreme commander of Armageddon.”

“What could an angel named Michael?”

Michael is indeed the highest among the Seraphim but when it comes to commanding such a large army, he will have a hard time doing so. Therefore there is a Seraphim who is able to do it even with such a large number of troops.

Whether it is capable or there is an ability that allows commanding an army of that size, he explained he was the worst opponent with the worst number of troops.

“The highest commander the angel side has, most likely a Seraphim named Jahoel.”

Rigel was quite curious about the title and how capable he was of playing such a great power no less than a human of numbers, Armageddon. The seemingly endless army, it was worth waiting for how he would deploy it.

“Different from other Seraphim who carelessly mobilize troops, maybe this Jahoel will do something more surprising than you can imagine. Now, let's fight strategically.” Rigel smiled and ordered his troops to ward off the movement of Armageddon.

The dragons were not broken down and cleared the right side of Armageddon, the other land troops were riding dragons, some were also attacking from the ground. While on one side, Hydra faced the demon army and knocked them down bit by bit.

Rigel did not allow Hydra to use its water power as there were enough Legion soldiers who had not yet moved away from the death squad. It's not funny if human soldiers die by a tsunami caused by death squads.
