"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! Good morning to the fans of Fight To End!"
"Whoaah!"
"It doesn't feel like we've reached the quarter-finals of Fight To End! Out of 50 seats, only 5 people made it to the quarter-finals! I will mention these five people in the form of :
From zone A..., Demon pillar, Marionette!
From zone B.., the war elephant, Gahdevi!
From zone C..., Iron body, Granger!
From zone D..., the person who was rumored to have nine lives, Sharkhan!
And from the E zone, who became a figure who might be able to compete with the Demon Pillar Marionette, Necromancer, Matsu and his team!"
"WHOA!"
Cheers echoed, cries of happiness immeasurable. The fighters entered the arena from opposite sides, without exception Marionette.
It is unexpected that there are so many people who choose to fight solo rather than a team. I don't know what the obvious reason is, but Rigel can only guess that it's with the intention of having his own prize.
This is the first time Rigel has faced Marionette who still seems clearly crazy. He looked at the fighters uninterestedly, yet as soon as he saw Rigel, his uninterested puppet face began to undergo a change.
Five fighters were about to fight, they each issued killing intent to each other. None of them seemed daunted despite the presence of the Demon Pillar, Marionette.
The spectators were sweating coldly, some were waiting for the exciting thing to happen afterwards and some looked a little frightened. Faced with Marionette's deadly pressure, Garfiel appears to be sweating coldly, as does Leo. However, the difference was in who was afraid. Leo was more concerned about the pressure Rigel put out.
He had felt it once, but never intended to feel it again. To be honest, for Leo it was a very possible experience to be unforgettable for the rest of his life.
"Good, good, not good, certainly good, maybe good, could be good, because it might be good... You look strong, strong enough, maybe strong because you're strong enough, Gyagaga!"
"It seems your crazy attitude is not treated, yes.., I need to chop and make pork food? I guarantee the nutcase lost a life of death."
Rigel provoked Marionette, but he already knew that such a petty thing would be useless in the face of a madman.
"Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! Looks like the situation between the fighters is starting to heat up! It is better to keep your words at your meeting later.., now, we should just start the first event! Let's watch the fight of the War Elephant, Gahdevi from zone B..., against the iron body, Granger! From zone C!"
The spectators cheered while the unrelated fighter in the arena pulled over to watch the fight.
"Since the Demon Pillar is a special figure, we decided to make him fight in the finals, so please look forward to it!"
Leaving those words aside, the spectators started placing bets to their gacoan. The fight was quite fierce, but the final winner was determined, Gahdevi.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! It was an interesting and entertaining fight! All right, next let's watch zone D and E.., Sharkhan fight against Team Matsu!"
"WHOA!!"
The spirit is increasingly broken once knowing that Rigel's team will fight next. Although it had not been long since his fight, it seemed that Matsu's team had become very famous in Darkness.
Well, not a bad thing known to many, but on the other hand can be a double-edged knife. It certainly depends on the circumstances.
Rigel, Leo and Garfiel entered the arena, as did Sharkhan who stepped up with a wide smile on his lips. It seemed that the confidence he had was so great, as if there was no place where he was defeated.
"Heh~, I can't believe my opponent is a new kid like you. I thought I was going to face Odin, but it seems that the weak one lost to the new kid. How embarrassing~."
It is free to mock people who are not in the place and there is nothing from the words of this person that is worth serving. Rigel, Leo and Garfiel nonchalantly took the predetermined fighting position.
"You're famous by the name of nine lives, yeah. Let's see if it's true. I'll kill you 9 times and prove that title."
Sharkhan reacted slightly to Rigel's words as if he would actually do so without a doubt. Rigel only snorted when he saw that and refocused on the battle.
"All right, let's just start the fight!"
The host gave a sign, Sharkhan darted with both of her daggers and aimed at the weak-looking Leo. However with his agile movements, he was able to restrain Sharkhan's dagger easily. Garfiel covered Leo's gap by swirling around her caravan which sent Sharkhan crashing down.
"May as well, new boy. You're pretty capable of—"
"Then what about this?"
A CRUCH!
A hand pierced through his chest, more precisely where the heart was. Rigel was already behind him and gripped Sharkhan's heart with his hand.
"The rights! Since when are you.., there..."
"Since you've been busy bacot yourself, now, let's see if you really have nine lives!"
Rigel smashed the heart in his hand and pulled his hand, letting Sharkhan's body fall lying on the ground. Blood began to seep out, Sharkhan's body slowly cooled down and no longer moved, which meant that he had died.
"Alright, I think you really have nine lives, but in fact you're still a human being who, if his heart breaks, will die."
WHOA!
"Well, whoa, whoa, whoa! It was really unexpected that the fight would end so quickly! With this we have three candidates who will fight in the finals!"
The final three candidates, Marionette, Gahdevi and Matsu's team, are Leo, Garfiel and Rigel. Surely they are not a weak figure and from the looks of it, there will be a fierce clash between Matsu's team and Marionette.
Gahdevi's own strength can not be underestimated, because one punch can crack the arena floor. It was suitable for him to get the nickname war elephant, but certainly there are other things that make him get the nickname.
"The final battle will be held at exactly noon, so during the time lag, it is expected for the fighters to prepare their manpower and strategy before the fight begins!"
Rigel started to make a simulation of the fight in his head. If the match is to be held one on one against one, then there will be two great enemies that must be faced. If possible, Rigel wanted to make an alliance with Gahdevi to take down Marionette first and only rank one and two after Marionette was defeated.
"Well, let's go back to the room to discuss some things and also, there are things I should do before. So you guys go back first and wait for me."
Rigel left the arena, heading for somewhere he had visited before. Garfiel's sister Theresia's.
Upon arriving at a place where there was no one, Rigel used teleportation and arrived at where Theresia was. Currently they were inside the slave cage, of course, for its outer appearance only. They are shocked to see Rigel appear suddenly and realize that it is instant teleportation.
"Mr Matsu, where did you learn to use teleportation magic?"
It is natural to be suspicious. But Rigel has no intention of dismantling it at this time, as it requires securing information until the end of his plan. Even a slight leak, it would spread as quickly as a plague.
For now, the best option was not to give the slightest answer to her and Rigel just needed to make Theresia not look for her for now.
"That's not important...., more importantly, what about the task I gave you to spread the word about going berserk when the chaos occurred?"
"Y-yes, we have done it and made sure only the slaves know about it. However, would there really be an army coming to free the slaves? To be honest, to me it would never even materialize in a dream."
They were not people who had not been slaves for long. Instead they can be classified as senior slavery. They have seen the rotten side of humans and weak people who consider their degrees higher than others.
For slaves, hope like the day their freedom comes back is only wishful thinking that will never come true. Instead of such expectations, they expect to get a good employer. Every country needs slaves, if it wants to make the kingdom and the country prosperous.
Other than not being able to refuse the orders of his master, the advantage of slavery was that they did not have to pay the slaves to do the work. They just need to provide water, food and clothing to keep them alive. Therefore there is a saying of this world that says 'Many slaves, signifying fertility'.
Because of those words, the countries began to hunt down slaves to prosper their respective homelands. At first they had a deadlock because they could not use their people as slaves. In the midst of it all the presence of demi-humans was subjected to slavery.
Given the religion of this world, Ruberios assumed that monsters were enemies of the gods and humans. With such an edict, people eventually came to the conclusion that Demi-humans belonged to a type of monster. Well, for now let's get back to the topic.
"Just calm down, I will fully guarantee that the liberation army will come. If the army doesn't come as I said, then I'm willing to curse myself to seven degrees."
Although unconvincing, at least the slaves became a little calmer.
"Then it's okay... So, what do we do next?"
Rigel hadn't thought about it yet, but he certainly had an idea of what he would give them to do. Although there is a possibility of spying among the slaves later if he does. Well, it would be good to give slaves rights to him and make them unable to betray.
Rigel asked Theresia who had recovered from her illness to come closer to him. The slave's cage hasn't been locked since Rigel took over this place.
Theresia awkwardly stepped closer and stood right in front of him. Rigel brought his head closer to Theresia's ear and began giving her instructions.
"Just at noon, I'm sure everyone will gather at the funeral arena to watch the rare fight. In the middle of that time, I want you and the others to go all over the city to free the slaves while pressing the green button on the thing I asked you to put in various corners of this city. When the soldiers arrive, show this to their leader."
Rigel gives Theresia a gun without bullets. Surely only the Region could possess such a weapon and if any outsider had one, then the only answer would be Rigel to give it away.
"What is this thing?"
Theresia did not know about the weapon, as she was so confined to this place that very little information was possessed. Probably included with the information regarding the great weapons of the Region.
"You'll find out if you know later, I leave it here to you. I'll do something else first."
"Alright then, be careful."
Rigel nodded and teleported to where Leo and Garfiel were waiting. As soon as it arrived, it wasn't just Leo and Garfiel. But Odin's whereabouts were certainly surprising because he should have been in the infirmary. If he came on his own initiative, then it was no surprise he knew the situation so there was no need to bother to explain.
"Where's Moris?"
"Before he said he wanted to take a money bet or something. Because dad—you shouldered me, I can't follow him."
"Hmm, there seems to be a possibility that he betrayed us. Well, anyway we've got a new partner and let's see how useful you are, Odin."
"Then be well. It's okay, if I kill him?"
Rigel nodded, "Yes."
If Moris is a traitor, then no reason can keep him alive. Traitors must be put to death, as Rigel puts it on the soldiers of the Region.
Garfiel who only listened from the beginning seemed troubled and wanted to say something, but hesitated in the middle, until finally he decided to ask.
"Umm, what about the strategy that will be used? Then, I want to ask, why do Leo and Odin seem to know you so well? I don't think we've seen your face yet, or I'm the only one who hasn't done it."
Leo clearly knows the real identity of the man named Matsu, who is Amatsumi Rigel. For Odin, he did not see or hear it directly from Rigel, but he knew through his own observations. Well, it seems like it's time to reveal himself to the poor Garfiel keoada who doesn't know anything.
"Well, it seems like it's time. After all this is the end of the plan so there's no need to keep your identity from you anymore...,"
Rigel slowly removed the fake hair and mask on his face. Garfiel downed his saliva and looked up at the face that had been behind the creepy mask. There was only shock on his face.
"You, if it's not wrong...,"
White hair with strange eyes and left hand. There was only one person who had such an appearance.
"People call me Hero Creator. My name is Amatsumi Rigel, you just call me Rigel."
The figure of the Hero who was on the ground slumped Darkness revealed his identity.

Sorry for the delay because yesterday coincided with the holiday of Eid al-Fitr and as a Muslim, I had to go around to see relatives with the aim of apologizing and asking them to fill my empty wallet leaping. Hehe.
