"Ahhhh! Help me!"
An underground city, Darkness is engulfed in chaos as a result of the Marionette doll invasion. Hundreds of dolls flew through the city and killed humans or Demi-humans indiscriminately. Men, women and even children were killed without mercy.
Everyone was running around in panic and heading for the way out of the city, but unfortunately it was already blocked by the puppets. Some try to hide for their own lives, without the need to worry about the safety of others.
A little girl was running in the middle of the chaos to retrieve her fallen doll. He was about to pick it up but two Marionette puppets had been in front of him and smashed his puppet then swung his sword blade towards the boy.
"Mama!"
Just as it was about to be slashed, a reddish magic stone shot out and exploded right between the puppets. While the Marionette doll's gaze was blocked by the black smoke, a short fat man ran over and carried the little girl in his arms away from the chaos.
"Mama?"
"Unfortunately I'm not your mom. But I'll take you to where your mother is when we survive those ugly dolls."
The man was Moris, a slave merchant who was lucky to meet Rigel in person. At first he has a clear counter against Rigel because he does not take his side and instead appears to be defending Odin. But now Moris realized, that Rigel did not try to side with anyone, he just wanted Moris to open a wider view of the world.
He eventually learned that slavery was wrong. Seizing the happiness and freedom of others is also wrong, he realizes about how rotten he is at the moment and decides to support Rigel to erase the world's immorality.
Moris turned into a small alley to avoid any pursuit and just as he was thinking about it, a sword incision came and tore his back inward.
"Argh! Goddamn bum!"
Odin ignored the pain he received and continued running until the Marionette doll stabbed her shoulder up to her waist from above. Moris fell down, but still hugged the girl to protect her.
"Uncle, you're bleeding!" exclaim that girl.
"No, what! At least I'll save people! Even if it is just one life!"
Moris began to spit blood from his mouth. The pain ran like an illness, he almost lost consciousness, but if it happened the boy in his arms would not survive.
"AHARGH!"
A middle-aged man came from the roof of the house and cut the thread of Mana on the back of the puppets with his greatsword. His face looked rough, but the look in his eyes and expression depicted a gentle man. The one who should have hated him, but saved him. It's Odin.
"You look pathetic, slave trader" Odin said as he looked at Moris and the boy he was protecting.
"Odin...," Moris muttered weakly, "Please take this child away."
Odin just silently stared at the figure he hated. He felt nothing in his chest. There was only a silent hatred that was slowly almost extinguished.
"Why would an inhumane slave trader like you choose to save a boy you don't even know and know his origin?" ask Odin while holding the boy Moris is protecting.
"... I have realized thanks to Mr. Rigel, that slavery is wrong. I finally understood, that the degree of living things is the same, no matter if it is human or semi-human. I no longer hold a grudge against my son's death, it might be enough punishment for him. And for me, I will receive a greater punishment than death."
Odin said nothing. Even if Moris regretted his actions, it would not change the fact that he had taken a lot of Demi-human liberties.
"One more thing, Odin.., please pass on my last message to Mr. Rigel."
Leaving behind those words, Moris' body grew weaker and weaker due to the loss of a lot of blood. Odin did nothing, just watched as Moris was about to die.
"... Suppose you don't become a slave trader and have a better job, I'm sure we can be good friends" Odin turned his back on Moris leaning against the wall.
"Yes.., in the next life, we will be friends..."
Odin steps away, letting Moris die in loneliness.
On the other hand, Leo and Garfiel were busy giving directions to the people in the arena to go out so as not to be affected by the fight.
"Good, good, not good, certainly good, maybe good, could be good, because it might be good... You think you can beat me? You're just a lowly monkey who doesn't even deserve to lick the semen of the great lord Lucifer! You're just pigs that deserve to soak in a mud pit! MY CHILDREN ARE KILLING THESE SASSY PIGS!"
The puppets come to attack Rigel, the host and Gahdevi.
"Oi gorilla and host, stay close to me and attack that lunatic when you get the chance!"
"Call me Ganesha" said host—Ganesha.
Rigel gathered a large amount of Mana and formed the Hand of Midas to sweep the Marionette puppets in one fell swoop.
"Now!"
Ganesha and Gahdevi attack simultaneously from two different sides as Rigel overcomes the Marionette puppets.
There is no need to hold back, nowadays identity is no longer important. The most important thing is to get rid of Marionette immediately.
"AHHH, shucks, shit, motherfucker, asshole, shit, flying pig! You are only pigs, but you dare to oppose me. You are only pigs, but you dare to fight me. Though you are only a pig, but dare to make me angry, dare to make me angry, dare to make me hate, dare to piss me off...!!"
Marionette began to curse. She pulled her hair and looked at the sky with her doll eyes spinning erratically. Gahdevi and Ganesha who were about to attack came to a halt, as they felt an uneasy feeling coming from Marionette.
"Unforgivable, inexcusable, certainly unforgivable, not forgivable, but unforgivable, because it is unforgivable!! Well if that's what you pigs want, then I'LL GIVE IT TO YOU!"
Rigel was gobsmacked with the back of the giant puppet slowly standing upright. Not only him, but Gahdevi and Ganesha were equally impressed with Rigel.
A giant puppet or perhaps more correctly called a giant golem with a giant sword blade that became his hand. His body was seen to be made of concrete, very clear from its blackish purple color, that iron was the strongest metal, Adamantite.
The size was so large and tall that Rigel needed to raise his head to look at the head of the doll and Marionette who was on his back. Luckily the height of the golem did not reach the ceiling. If yes, then there are no more casualties.
"Oh, man. This big thing, where does he keep it?" gahdevi stared at the golem doll in surprise.
"If it's from infentory, it's not impossible that he put it. But anyway, the size is too big."
"It's possible that he used item-reducing magic until the golem was enough to be inserted into the infentory" Ganesha said.
If so, then only the answer-shredding magic makes sense. It was impossible for Marionette to keep such a big doll in the arena without leaving even the slightest trace. Judging from his irritable and impatient personality, such a thing was certainly impossible.
"Bodo is very much about how he keeps it. Most importantly, how do we beat this big one??"
Gahdevi was right, there was no point in thinking about that. Now their priority was to defeat the golem puppet and kill Marionette to settle the mess immediately.
"Before that, you should have realized and seen how to move the puppets right? She used fairy techniques to supply natural mana that looked like thread and used it to control her puppets."
Hearing that, Gahdevi and Ganesha both nodded in agreement. They had figured out the little trick behind the Marionette doll as she fought Alexander. There was no strength without weakness, those words were clearly absolute.
"From the looks of it, this magnification somehow has no sign of any Mana thread, yet it is very clear that it is controlled by Mana. So, Marionette must have drained it straight away and that was the reason why she was standing on her shoulder. And so, the only way for him to drain Mana to this caesar is by direct contact."
They both looked at Marionette and looked for the trail where she passed her Mana to the giant golem doll.
"I see, so it's on the cigilant leg, yes" Gahdevi said.
Rigel agreed. Only Marionette's feet came into direct contact with the golem and Rigel noticed traces of Mana on the soles of her feet.
"Yes. The plan is very clear, we have to separate it with the big one and beat it separately" Rigel said, breaking his fingers and neck.
"Me and Gahdevi may be able to get over Marionette and make her go, but that big one will be hard to handle."
"Well, then I will handle the golem," Rigel took a step towards the golem casually.
"Are you sure?"
It seemed that Ganesha was doubtful of Rigel's combat ability, as he had yet to feel his punch directly. Unlike Gahdevi who may have guessed how far the power of Rigel.
"Just calm down.., you'll know after you see it. Let's start!"
Rigel ran directly into the golem doll and was greeted with the golem's feet trying to step on it. Rigel nimbly dashed the zig zag avoiding any attack that the golem puppet could unleash.
"Where to Hand: Asura Punch!"
Rigel threw four gold fists towards the golem puppet's feet, but even his attack was not enough to make even the slightest dent.
It doesn't seem that easy, Rigel.
Rigel changed the way to attack by directly hitting the legs of the golem doll that was very hard.
A BANG!
The golem's body trembled a little and a little bit of a dent as a result of Rigel's powerful punch. Gahdevi and Ganesha could not help but be surprised. Even Leo and Garfiel noticed because of the loud bang that echoed.
"Is he really human? Can make a punch mark on Adamantite it's gone crazy" muttered Ganesha.
Garfiel and Leo were so gobsmacked and really wanted to learn such insane power. But they undo the intention, so look at Rigel's next move.
"Well, good enough, bad, very good because it's pretty good. What if you die and become a loyal puppet of the great Lord Lucifer."
"Thank you for the offer, but I don't want to be Lucifer's stupid, disgusting toy!"
Rigel ran at the foot of the golem doll and beat her on the way. Gaining Rigel's disdain for Lucifer, Marionette began to tremble furiously at his provocation.
"Heh, it seems like he was right to be impatient and so weak to the provocation related to Lucifer," Rigel murmured.
"Haha, he's really crazy... But I don't hate him!"
Gahdevi leaped forward with a smile and followed Rigel up the golem doll and smashed his superhuman fist which made the tremors on the golem even louder.
Ganesha did not want to be left behind and gathered Mana in both hands while waiting for the time for him to act.
Rigel and Gahdevi simultaneously attacked the golem puppets and gave quite a bit of a dent, while Marionette mulled over the craze and deployed her other puppets to attack Rigel and Gahdevi.
"Super Punch!"
Gahdevi gets rid of the crashing little doll and intends to intrude while Rigel continues climbing towards Marionette.
Eight dolls with sickles and golem hands attacked Rigel at the same time. There was almost no way out for him to escape the demands of the attack. However, that does not mean he has a deadlock, it is a good time to try it.
A smile grew on his lips, "Purgatory: Cleansing sins!"
A bluish fire surrounded Rigel and protected him from any attack. The puppet with the scythe that plunged directly into the Purgatory flame instantly vanished without a trace.
Adamantite's hand that was about to hit Rigel began to melt and become molten iron. Seeing this, Marionette fell wide and began to take the oath.
"Fuck, shit, dog, jerk, moron, crazy, flying pig!! What the fuck? Though only a pig, but quite capable, when only a pig, but dare to fight, even though only a pig!"
While Marionette was busy with her own words, she did not realize that Rigel had been right in front of her and threw the powerful Asura Punch into the air.
Ganesha jumped and dealt hundreds of punches in an instant that left Marionette's hands and feet in disarray.
The golem puppet slowly collapsed as its energy supply stopped, Rigel jumped up and was right above Marionette with a blue flame in his right hand.
"Outside your history!"
"No! Forgive me, forgive me, forgive me, forgive me!"
"Relie it's hell!"
Rigel was about to extend his right hand and scorch Marionette, but in a split-second pause, Marionette smiled.
"Heh, but boong!"
JDERS!
A huge explosion exploded a short distance away from Rigel. The explosion looked like a laser that even pierced the ceiling of the ground.
"HAHAHAHA! Don't think I'll give up on a pig that's just a little capable of you, Hahahah!"
Marionette laughed happily as if celebrating a victory. Ganesha, Gahdevi, Leo and Garfiel were wide-eyed in surprise. Not because of Marionette's super powerful laser, but against the figure that appeared suddenly behind Marionette.
"Don't whine, you moron!"
Marionette looked back, finding the figure of a white-haired man with different eyes and a unique left hand. What caught Marionette's attention was not about her surviving the previous explosion, but about her face that resembled a certain person.
"The face.., ALUDRA FUCKER! I'LL KILL YOU!"
Rigel did not know who the figure named Aludra was and how Marionette gave off such a huge aura of hatred towards him. But without caring anything, Rigel threw Purgatory and obliterated Marionette's body without a trace.
