The Birth of a True Hero
Episode 75 Heroes selected

Rui had already arrived at the palace of the elf king. She was welcomed by King Erandel and Queen Helena. Then the king invited Rui to sit down to discuss what the main purpose of Rui was to make him come to the elf country.

"Alright, Rui. Since the pillars have gathered together, we'd better get started. What is your main purpose until you come to our country" asked the king with seriousness.

Rui calmly answered the question.

"My mission is to eliminate differences, hatred and enmity among every race. In hopes of bringing unity back among all the races in the continent" Rui replied.

That of course made the king and the 4 pillars who heard Rui's words surprised. Erandel pensively thought for a moment about Rui's words. But every conclusion he took, it seemed impossible that it could happen.

"Sorry before Rui. I understand what you're saying, but do you understand how much hatred elves have felt for hundreds of years losing their families to human activities?"

"How much suffering do my people have to endure because of the actions of humans, and you still think you can unite our race as before?"

Rui was silent, he used to say he would use any means to unite the race, even with violence. However, after seeing the cries of the elves and the disappointment of those who had been waiting for their family's return, they had to face the harsh reality that their family could no longer return to their side.

The 4 pillars fell silent. They also know and feel for themselves their families who are taken from their side and never come back again.

Then Luinic, an adjutant who had been to the emperor during the abduction of the elves, came to bring the elven elder to the king. The elders welcomed Rui's arrival with a feeling of pleasure.

"Welcome to our country, hero sir" Luinic said.

Hearing that, the king and the 4 pillars were very surprised because they did not know Rui's true identity.

"Well.hero?"

"What do you mean" Erandel was surprised.

"Oh, my majesty, it seems that you do not know who this young man really is. The Emperor told me during my previous visit that someone would come to our country and bring unity back in every race. Aren't the only people with such abilities heroes?" Luinic saluted Rui.

"Is that really Rui?"

"You're the chosen hero?" ask the elf king.

When Rui was about to answer the question of king Erandel, Elucil came to that place.

"Omong is empty" he said, turning everyone's attention to himself.

"Don't tell such a lie just because you want peace to happen. Is it possible to return the elves who have been enslaved so far, to make us forgive your mistakes?" said it.

"Elu enough, watch your talk" said one of the elders who was his own father.

"You shut up father, a senile old man like you seems to have forgotten the vile crimes of men" Elucil yelled at his father.

Erandel who saw the brash attitude of the child to his own parents became annoyed.

"Quite, you better not cause a commotion here, after all I do not remember ever giving permission for you to be here" said the king sounding angry.

Elucil was speechless with his face still looking annoyed. Rui herself felt sick of seeing the behavior of the elves in front of her who did not have courtesy to her own parents.

"Why every time you hear about a hero, there are always people who disagree and doubt about it. Is that how big your obsession with heroes is?"

"I was initially very reluctant to accept all of this because of my hatred towards the people who had insulted me first." "Risking their lives for them? don't fucking joke. That's what's always been implied in my mind."

"But after I saw the happiness of the people I could save, I came to understand what the heroes were fighting for"

"They fought not to exterminate demons, not just to fight for a race but to maintain their weak smile"

"Rignite"

Rui called out her hero sword. The king was stunned to see the light gathered before Rui began to form a sword.

"Ti_it's not wrong, it's the holy sword of Rignit" said the elf elder who had witnessed the sword himself in the hero's hand before.

The 4 pillars could only be amazed to see the sword that appeared before Rui. Even Elucil did not budge when he saw the holy sword Rignit.

"Is this the holy sword?" said Frey who was so amazed by the dazzling light of the sword.

"Yes" answered Rui.

"But how, how did you get this sword? the sword that was dragged by the power of the demon lord when it was sealed" the elder asked curiously.

"Really, your majesty, actually, the heroes were dragged by the turmoil of the power of the demon king and sealed with him" said the elder.

"Then how did you get the sword" asked the King.

"That began. A holy weapon is a weapon that has its own ego and emotions. They will not be held by just anyone even if it was given by the previous owner."

"I witnessed for myself, the selection of heroes by our sacred weapon, the legendary Bow of Cronicel. All elves who try to hold the weapon, will be pent by the power of the Bow if he is not considered appropriate. But only one woman was able to lift the bow. She is my daughter who died to seal the demon lord" said the elder.

Hearing that, Rui thought back to the face of the elf that appeared in her dream first.

"Well, she was indeed a jolly girl, with her blue eyeballs and silver hair. She's really very sweet"

Rui's words left everyone there shocked.

"What do you mean, young man?" said the elf elder.

"Ah, I haven't said it yet huh? if the 5 heroes themselves choose me as their successor"

"Ap..What, what does that mean" asked the elder who was getting curious.

"I met them in my dream, they entrusted me with the task of uniting the races before the demon lord rose again."

Hearing that, everyone there fell silent. They were so shocked to hear the terror they were most wary of would again threaten the continent.

"When did that happen?" ask King Erandel.

"The heroes predicted that the seal would be completely broken in less than two years" Rui replied.

"So this is why you want to unite races?" king Erandel.

"Yes, this is one of them. But I personally hate slavery a lot and I who have become a hero have imposed a new rule that slavery is the greatest crime in the empire" Rui replied in a loud voice.

"So so" said the king.

"If what you're saying about the demon lord is true. Then inevitably, we must reunite the races to fight back under the command of the hero" said the elf king.

Frey spoke to give his opinion.

"I understand your noble intentions. It's probably the only way we can survive"

"But if our citizens find out that the heroes of the human race have been chosen, it will not cause envy from the elves" said Frey.

King Erandel thought again, what Frey said was true. The king became confused, with what he should do because considering the weapons of other heroes were also sealed.

"I'm sorry" said Rui, whose attention was on everyone.

"I also have not said, that I have 3 hero weapons" said Rui who made everyone more speechless.

Rui took out Rignit's sword, Cronicel's arrow and the Gluttony spear before all of them.

Rui continued by taking out the mana beast that enveloped his body then where it formed the jaws of a tiger and roared before them. The book of knowledge and the teardrop potion of the god was also displayed in his hands.

They were all silent, even the elders who had outlived the era of the great war, had never known that one could control all 5 hero powers.

"This is really not good for the heart of an old man like me" said the elder who began kneeling.

Everyone there followed the kneeling elder to Rui, except for one person, Elucil. Elucil's hatred is already peaking when he learns that Rui is a hero with the 5th power of legendary heroes.

"No. That's not possible. Things like this I'll never accept !"

"Don't joke you're a bajingaaaan!!!" elucil shouted at Rui.

"A dirty creature like you can't be a chosen hero. I won't allow this" he said, running to snatch Cronicel's arrow.

Rui did not avoid Elucil who wanted to snatch the arrow. Even casually he thrust the arrow towards the running Elucil. When Elucil's hand was about to touch the Cronicel Arc, he was struck by lightning from the bow that sent his body bouncing far up to the palace walls.
