The Legends Of Creator Hero
Funeral Arena

Rigel and the others had arrived in front of the black gate in tight guard. The guards checked one by one the people who entered without being left behind.

"You're the masked one over there, stop!"

A guard with a spear in his hand approached Rigel, who looked a little suspicious. Especially the mask he wears.

Following the guard's words, Rigel stopped walking and stayed in place, waiting for the soldier to reach him.

"Open your mask, let me see it!"

Rigel did not budge and had no intention of letting go. He was about to do something about the guard, but Cebol— Moris took over.

"Is there anything I can help you with, guard?"

"Ahh, Mr Moris! Glad to see you're healthy. Is that masked, demi-human guy your people?"

"Yeah... They were my slaves who were my guards during my time here. As you know, walking alone here brings poverty. Then, he had a flaw on his face so he wore a mask to cover it."

Rigel was certainly surprised because he did not suspect that Moris was quite famous in this place. Perhaps he was indeed a famous slave merchant in this place. It wouldn't be surprising if he had a lot of quality slaves in his place.

Not only that, Rigel is also a little interested in the word moris, about walking alone is the same as bringing poverty.

"Ahh, so so. Even so, sorry for my indecision, but I still have to check it because it's a market rule."

Moris was about to fight the guard's argument, but Rigel raised his hand and indicated it was okay. The more he refused to take off the mask, the more suspicious he became. Rigel slowly undid his mask until it was enough for the guard to see his right eye.

"Look at my eyes."

Hearing that, the guard subconsciously followed Rigel's words. His blue eyes now shone and he used his strength to hypnotize the guard.

"Let us pass."

"Understand me, come in."

Rigel and the others entered on permission from the guard. Moris and Leo were amazed by the amazing thing Rigel had just done.

In this world, not many people can use hypnosis because it requires certain techniques. Rigel himself had no trouble using it, the hypnotic power he had gained from the Labyrinth and rotted among his great Skills.

As soon as Rigel entered the fort, he was greeted with a view of the bustling market. He imagined a seedy and disgusting place, but unexpectedly this beautiful and clean city, not much different from Britannia.

What makes it different is, there are enough Demi-humans on the move. Unlike Britannia, they can only be found while doing heavy work.

Rigel finds some beautiful Elves working in a drinking shop and a brothel along with other female Demi-humans. To the male slaves, they seemed to be repairing everything that was broken and picking up trash along the way. At least, the life of slaves in this place is much better than Britannia.

"This place is far beyond my expectations." Rigel began to mutter, while Leo and Moris seemed to know about this place. They finally started to draw closer to Rigel and whisper, to avoid outsiders hearing their conversation.

"Don't be fooled by her outward appearance, Dad. The rot of this place is in the shadows."

"That's right. The leader here deliberately gives a good look outside in order to attract more money into his pocket. In fact he also hired some thieves to take the money of visitors who walked alone. That's why, I mentioned coming here without a bodyguard is the same as bringing poverty."

Now Rigel understood most of what this town was about. In short, the nobleman who led this city was so thirsty for treasures, that he did some dirty things behind the scenes. Not only was it the result of the slave sale, perhaps the noble was earning another income from the above sales and the underground fight, Fight To End.

"In addition, father. Everyone here is just his servant to make money."

"People in this city are just slaves? It's shocking and exciting."

Rigel wouldn't be surprised if this noble was even richer than Ainsworth. It was fitting that they could not enter this place, perhaps due to the existence of their rival nobles or such.

"Yes, then, follow me Matsu, Leo." Moris led the way and he turned towards the pet store.

Rigel was certainly a little confused at first, but he finally understood that this place would lead him to the underground black market.

"Welcome. What kind of animal do you want to look for?"

"A pair of earthworms to fight. This is the money."

Moris put three pieces of gold, according to the number of people who will enter.

"so. The animal you're looking for is in another room, please follow these steps and choose your favorite worm."

The shopkeeper opened a door on the floor that was connected to another room. Moris unhesitatingly entered and Rigel followed behind him.

So, the discussion about worms before is the password used to enter the underground market. Without Moris present, he was convinced that he could not enter peacefully like this.

After a few minutes of entering the narrow space, Rigel continued walking until he finally reached the end of the road. The scenery he saw was a place that looks slum, polluted air, a lot of spit in confinement on the side of the road. There are also buildings for lodging, dining and various types.

Rigel witnessed that there were many slaves, especially female slaves who were only given a thin cloth for clothing, but most of his body was still exposed.

Some of the female slaves appear to make certain gestures such as playing her body to tempt Rigel and other visitors.

They fall that low just to buy someone and get a little decent life... This place is really worth destroying!

Rigel felt angry at the presence of this rotten place, but he would hold back for a while, until his work was done.

"Walking around this place is not a good thing, because only slaves can be met. What if we just saw the Fight To End arena?" Moris suggested because he knew that Rigel would only get angrier when he saw the rottenness of this place.

"Yes... I'm not sure I can resist destroying this place if I look further. Let's go."

They headed towards the arena that Darkness' main attraction was in addition to quality slaves. While walking, Rigel stared at the ceiling. Everything was covered in soil, but surprisingly this place was not pitch-black. Maybe because some magic crystals were placed in the surrounding buildings.

From his observation, not only adventurers and slave traders, but wealthy people and even nobles also came to visit such a disgusting place.

While observing the surroundings, they arrived at a place similar to a ball stadium with a grandstand encircling it.

"Is this the place?"

"Yeah... We've reached the Battle To End arena, the Funeral Arena."

A suitable name for the place that became the Cemetery of the fight from around the country. Rigel was curious as to what the fight was like in there. Moris seemed aware and paid the entrance fee for three people.

"For now, how about we see the fight that happened today, Matsu? For the ultimate prize of Dwarf slaves and other items, it will likely be held in a few more days, so we still have plenty of time before the game."

"Right as well, it doesn't seem like a bad choice to watch the game."

"I agree, dad. Besides, I want to find someone I know."

Rigel didn't know who someone Leo was referring to, it was probably the slave he was with when he was here. They were looking for the top seats, where people watched very little. Most of them took the front seats while shouting to their champion fighters.

"Then, I'll register you guys for the fight of the next few days."

"Yes. We'll wait here."

Although it is good to register later, but it seems that there are limited slots for each fight so there is no other choice.

Currently the fight that was going on was Hercules against Alexander. Rigel sedikkt was interested in Hercules who fought only with his fists and Alexander used a hammer with a long handle to fight.

"Haha! This great Lord of Hercules will defeat you!"

"Let's just prove it, straight away."

"Let's go!"

Alexander darted forward and turned his hammer half a circle. Hercules used his left hand to hold Palu back and used his right hand to try to reach Alexander.

"Hoho's? You're tough enough to hold my hammer. But what about this!" He smashed his hammer to the ground and created a stone thorn on the footing of Hercules.

Hercules smiled widely and pitted his two fists together to create a powerful destructive wave that shattered the thorns.

"Is that all?" Hercules provokes, but he does not realize that Alexander has been behind him.

"You're off guard!"

Alexander slammed his hammer right on Hercules' back and the sound of bone cracks could be heard.

"Kergh! Goddamnit!"

Hercules sends waves of destruction but the agile Alexander can evade without any problems. He stretched out his hammer again and cornered Hercules.

"Great... How could he move that fast with such a non-light weapon..." Leo seemed amazed by the fight Alexander and Hercules who have a body larger than Alexander.

"Yes... But it doesn't seem like an ordinary hammer, I can feel the magic energy of that hammer... The winner is clear."

Alexander took a step back, away from Hercules who was still standing upright.

"Are you tired? Now it's my turn to attack."

"No... The fight's over and you're the loser."

Alexander snapped his finger and Hercules began to bleed from his body and his skin turned purple.

"The rights! You're... What are you doing..." Hercules vomited blood and slowly fell to death.

"This hammer is no ordinary hammer... This hammer has a destructive curse that damages your body from within. Syarst activate it very easily, I just need to make my target touch my Fake then the curse will activate and make you die."

"Whoaah!"

The cheers of the spectators began to break out of Alexander's victory and some were disappointed, perhaps because they were betting on Hercules.

"It was a good fight... Leo, you should have learned a lot from that fight. Pay attention to your opponent and stay alert for the little tricks they have up their sleeves."

"Good! I'll remember it well."

As they speak, Moris has returned and Sudsh registered Rigel and Leo's names in the upcoming fight in a few days.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. Good news that I registered you guys right when the slots were full. Then the bad news is, there are three names of fighters who are troubling."

"decreased? Could they have been champions in this place?"

"Yes... The first is the murderer of my son, Odin the mass murderer. Then there is the Tiger which is a rare race of Demi-humans and lastly, I don't know very well. It is possible that only the name is similar or indeed the same person. He's the controller of Marionette's doll. The one who has the same name as the Demon Pillar."

Rigel was a little surprised, the presence of the demon pillar was really unexpected. The fight that happens will not be easy.

"Demon pillar? Is such a figure allowed to participate in the Fight To End fight?" Leo seems worried. Well, the worry is certainly reasonable because the Demon Pillar is a nickname that everyone knows.

"Yes... In a place like this no matter the devil or anyone, they are accepted if they want to compete. But of course, if the Hero takes part in the fight, of course it will cause some conflict and contaminate the name of the Hero itself."

Well, Rigel himself doesn't care about defiling names or anything. Yet he did not want those from the Darkness side to hide the Dwarf that was his main goal.

"so... No matter if he's a demon pillar or even a God, I won't let him get in my way."

"Haha... As expected of you. But I thought God would never go down to such a lowly place."

"Then, father. What do we do now?"

"Hmm, for now it is better that we look for a place to spend the night and think of some plans for the upcoming fight. I hope you don't get scared just hearing that the Demon Pillar is here."

"Of course not, because dad's here... Besides, I'm curious about the rare race of Demi-humans mentioned earlier."

"Areally the people you're looking for include the rare race Demi-humans?"

Rigel had been curious since earlier about the friend that Leo was referring to. If he came into the fight and happened to meet them, then it would be hard to blame without killing him.

If he was a slave, then he did not have any valuables in exchange for his life and was forced to take his life. He himself had no problem killing him, but of course Leo was different.

"Yes... He was a great fighter and a Race similar to the monster of doom, the White Tiger. I don't know if he's alive or not, but I hope he's alive."

After talking, they finally went to look for lodging. There were a few things Rigel needed to do, so there was a need to go around.
