The Legends Of Creator Hero
Covert plan

The night has come. Rigel had asked the Heroes to gather without exception and discuss about the invasion of the demon army. Residents have been displaced, although there have been considerable casualties. Especially Ruberios who suffered the most losses from other countries. Currently Rigel has put military forces in every country in case the demon army attacks again.

For this meeting will only be attended by the heroes and Sylph as a figure who knows the ins and outs of this case. For the record, Rigel did not invite Merial in this meeting because he who became a Hero was still kept secret from other Heroes.

"Everything has gathered besides Ozaru who has not been sober. Without needing me to explain, you must have understood the current situation, right?" Rigel looked at the others and they confirmed with a nod, except for one person, Takatsumi.

Until now he still has not done any action so it is not a problem to delay his execution a little longer.

"It shortens the time. Straight to the point, this invasion occurred because of the opening of the gates of the underworld. The only gate connected to Hell. I still don't know the purpose of Lucifer doing this. But I can guarantee it's not a good thing. The rest, let him explain..." Rigel gave a sign to someone and in an empty chair that was provided. A bright green colored light gathered and formed the figure of a beautiful fairy girl.

The queen of the fairies, Sylph will be following the round table Conference. The Heroes were no longer surprised due to his presence, perhaps they had already had enough of a surprise for today.

"It's nice to meet you, Hero. You seem to have recognized me, I am the Queen of the Elves, my name is Sylph. Straight away, the reason the gates of Hell opened was because of my negligence in watching over him. I was so focused on defeating Tortoise and freeing the girl that I didn't realize that someone was trying to open the gate." Sylph said with a feeling of regret that was engraved clearly on her face.

Although other Heroes could understand him, but for Sylph this was an unforgivable mistake. He was too obsessed with freeing Priscilla to the point of neglecting the task of monitoring the gates of Hell.

"What can happen, what has happened let it happen. We just need to figure out how to close that gate and destroy it." Marcel said nonchalantly and ignored his hand.

"Before that, I'd like to hear more about the origin of the gates of Hell before we go on to discuss the main problem." Hazama gave me advice.

"I agree with that too. It's good to know the origin of the gate, and also, tell me how many things are similar to the Gate Of Underworld or something like that if released would be a disaster. It is important for me to know if there is anything other than the Monster of doom and the Gate of Underworld to be wary of." Rigel also agrees to Hazama's advice.

As soon as he heard Rigel's words, the other Heroes nodded in agreement. It is important for them to know everything that can mess up this world. Although they had been in this world for quite a long time, they knew absolutely nothing about the past that had happened in this world.

Sylph nodded and took a breath willing to tell a story.

"Everything was connected exactly a thousand years ago. For the first time ever, humanity summoned Heroes. Twelve of the Heroes were summoned and right at the moment they were called, the world began to completely display its fangs. Starting from several disasters such as Tortoise, and the appearance of the gate of the underworld, as well as facts about the stone of divination and a god who ruled them. I can still vividly remember the events that took place a thousand years ago. I'm sure that nothing else will cause a disaster. If anything, it was most likely just the anger of the Spirit tree alone." Sylph paused for a moment and took a breath to continue her story.

"I don't really know where the gates of the underworld came from. But long before the gate appeared, there was a small country there. The country was among the most advanced countries of its time, but when the gates of the underworld appeared, it vanished unceremoniously. The soil is polluted and can no longer be inhabited. The place was dubbed the black island. Lucifer became the first person to discover the gates of the underworld. Not long after I realized Lucifer's presence somewhere and I contacted the Hero and came to his place. Fortunately we made it just in time and Lucifer chose to give up on the seal and immediately began his long sleep. I and the Heroes mustered our strength to seal the door."

So the seal had lasted for a thousand years until the moment Tortoise rose and Lucifer used it to release the seal. But from Lucifer messing with the Tortoise seal, why it seems like there is something not clearly visible in this section.

"If you think about it again, Lucifer interrupted Tortoise's sealing process in the past and changed it that Tortoise would wake up when he woke up. I don't think it's a coincidence." Rigel pulled his hair and revealed the hypothesis he had made.

Hearing Rigel's words, Hazama becomes the first person to know where this problem leads.

"So you mean, it wasn't a coincidence. If Lucifer messed up the seal and made Tortoise wake up when he woke up?" Hearing Hazama, Rigel looked at him and nodded.

"That means, it wasn't on purpose. Lucifer seemed to have planned it from the start. However, didn't he not know about the presence of the underworld gate during the sealing of Tortoise?" Takumi touches exactly the core of what Rigel is looking for.

This is the question of how Lucifer found him. If the gate was already there during the sealing of Tortoise, it was impossible that Sylph was unaware of its existence. Besides, I wonder who made or brought the gates of that underworld.

"For that alone I don't know," Sylph became the one who answered Takumi's question, "However, Lucifer seems to have a way of allowing him to see the events that will happen in the future to some extent."

All the Heroes were shocked to hear it. Although it sounds unreasonable, it does not mean there is no such possibility. Rigel didn't even reject the idea. From Lucifer's movements so far, Rigel concluded that common sense would be meaningless if it concerned him.

"If he can see the future, doesn't that mean whatever we're going to do in a war he can easily fail?" Argo speculates.

"No." Rigel rejected his idea.

"I don't think that's going to happen either. As he said, he could see to some extent. We take the example of the Behemoth that Takumi defeated. If Lucifer has seen the future come to this event since before he fell asleep. I'm sure he's anticipated knowing that his pillar will die." Takatsumi explains the reason that Argo's worries will not happen.

Despite being extremely hateful to admit it, Takatsumi was probably the second person after that to have such sharp thoughts.

"Let's just be brief. When sealing Tortoise, we assume that Lucifer has learned that the gates of the underworld will appear so he changes the Tortoise seal that will be awakened together with him. Sometime after, the gates of the underworld actually appeared and Lucifer came to confirm it before starting a long sleep." Rigel sums up a reasonable story for now.

No one rejected that idea. That story is probably the closest. Although it does not cover the whole, some truths are still in the dark.

"With this, it means it has been confirmed that there is nothing else like the gates of the underworld, right?" Yuri says.

Sylph smiled and considered to answer him. For the Spirit tree, it will be excepted from disasters such as the gates of the underworld. Naturally, as long as no one was to disturb him, it would be safe. One of Rigel's worries has been resolved and it's time to finish another.

"Now, let's talk about the demons that came out of that gate. Especially the demons I met before, Karaka. He was definitely a very dangerous existence." Rigel turned to the next conversation.

"Karaka? can you please explain more details about him?" Marcel asked seriously.

"I don't know what's going on. But it seems that Lucifer told me about myself to him that made him so obsessed with fighting with me. At least right now, I can postpone it for seven days. But I'm not sure he'll wait quietly until that moment comes." Rigel continued.

Even at first glance, Rigel knew what kind of person Karaka was. He was very sure that Karaka would not just want to stay quiet and wait. It was likely that he would bring some chaos until his fight with Rigel arrived.

"With four yes. I can clearly think of how it came to be. So other than the demon pillar, there's still him to watch out for." Nadia came to a conclusion but Rigel immediately rejected her.

"I don't think they're the only ones to be wary of."

"Yes. We also have to watch out for Lucifer who hasn't seen his gestures yet." Takumi added Rigel's explanation.

Hearing that, Marcel touched his chin and remembered something.

"Right, I remember what Aldebaran said when he confronted him."

Rigel sharpened his eyes, "What is that?"

"I tried to extract information from him about Lucifer's plan. But he just said that no one knew of Lucifer's plan and he freed the Demon Pillar to do whatever they wanted."

Hearing that, Rigel muttered, "So, yes. I understand now."

The other heroes and Sylph looked at Rigel in confusion and waited for him to give an explanation. Rigel on the other hand felt very playful. He had desperately searched for the answer to this attack, but never found it. The answer is very easy.

"Haha... In this way I'm pretty sure that this kind of chaos isn't what Lucifer's goal is."

"What do you mean?" Petra asked, unable to digest Rigel's words earlier.

"Think clearly. What is the purpose of wreaking havoc by sending out weak demons that will only die and strengthen us? That's too much for Lucifer to do."

Other heroes started thinking about it. It was indeed reasonable, it even seemed that Takatsumi was starting to think of something.

Rigel felt stupid, very, very stupid for not being able to find the answer that had been in front of his eyes for a long time. Starting from messing up the sealing of Tortoise, giving the Hero and Sylph bait to focus on Tortoise completely and he freed the gates of the underworld. All of these events have very clear similarities.

Rigel hits the table and gets all the attention on him.

"In short, we've been dancing in Lucifer's palms since the beginning. The answer is very simple, the invasion of demons and the assault of demon pillars and Karaka are just bait given by Lucifer to us."

Everyone was wide-eyed in shock at Rigel's bold statement. He now understood clearly the reason Lucifer told him how to defeat Tortoise. Lucifer is convinced that Rigel will seek to find out the truth and execute his plan. He also believes that Sylph will ask for his help. Thanks to that, Rige and Sylph were able to completely ignore Lucifer's movements.

"Before the same, he gave Tortoise bait to us Heroes and Sylph while he can calmly unseal the gates of the underworld. If we eat the bait, I'm sure we'll foolishly take care of the demons and demon pillars that wreak havoc first before going to the gates of the underworld. If so, then Lucifer's business must be done."

Sylph, Takatsumi and Marcel both understood the essence of what Rigel was trying to convey to them.

"Lucifer's real goal is not to invade or weaken human forces..." Marcel says.

"The goal is what lies behind the gates of the underworld...." Takatsumi continued.

"Tuition is... Hell??" Sylph continued.

"really. From the very beginning he didn't consider us a great threat, the proof is, we foolishly toyed around on his palm." Rigel said with a slight annoyance.

"If so! shouldn't we move now?!" Aland shouted in a hurry, but Marcel who was still calm stopped him.

"Wait a minute, Aland. We can't just go there. I firmly believe that there are one or more demon pillars guarding the gates of hell. We can't go there stupidly and without any preparation. At least, we should prepare one or two plans carefully, right, Rigel?" Marcel smiled boldly at Rigel.

Rigel smiled back with pleasure that tickled his heart, "Kuhuhuhu, yes. We must prepare a plan before we go there and make that bastard demon tremble!"

Looking at Rigel who looked happy like that, Takumi smiled, "Yes... But before that we also have to think of a way to deal with the little demons that might come again."

Rigel who was still smiling lowered his head and held his face. His blue eyes began to shine due to the reflection of the light.

"Yes... Lucifer~, if the battle you want, then the War you get!" Rigel's fierce face and smile appeared.

He really felt very unaccepting to be humiliated like this by dancing in the palm of his hand.
