"Well! huh! huh!"
All other than Rigel were panting as soon as they arrived in the Region. A few seconds earlier, they had actually nearly died from the White Tiger. For them, it was the first time to come face to face with an existence beyond their reasoning.
There is nothing but a terrible word to say. Given that he traveled a great distance at such a crazy speed, it was certain that the White Tiger was extremely superior in speed and attack.
"That's.., my first experience.., facing.., with disaster," Odin could not speak properly. His body was still trembling in fear over beings that were beyond his reasoning.
"That's almost. A little late, we will die" said Gahdevi.
Rigel ignored their conversation and hurriedly headed towards the control room to make a call to another Hero.
"Asoka, immediately prepare the troops and bring the dwarves into place. Then, call Ozaru, Takumi and Yuri to meet me in the hall immediately."
"Yes." Yeah."
Due to Rigel asking for their help earlier, there was a high possibility that Takumi and Yuri were stopping by in the Region, to enjoy various things in the Region.
Without wasting any time, he went towards the control room. There was silence, there was no one but the echo of the rotating gear wheel. Rigel leans on a long-unoccupied chair and accesses a super-advanced computer named Ciel.
"Ciel, activate the automatic arm repair without magic stones. Then, connect the call to the radio that's in the hands of another Hero."
..."Answer: Yes..., the order will be executed!...
......Automatic repair system activated......
...the call to the 10 radios in question has been connected."...
As always, Ciel works fast. The spider arm made of iron slowly worked automatically and connected the fake arm to Rigel.
Call connected, Marcel and other Heroes including Ray are in Ruberios.
"What's wrong?? it's very rare for you to contact us at the same time" Marcel said.
"Yes, it's sudden, but I want us to get together and discuss something. Since there isn't much time, I'll explain it right now," Rigel's tone sounded serious.
Although unable to see him, he knew that Marcel and the others were stunned by Rigel's words. Without having to worry about them, he continued his words.
"I want us to prepare for the white tiger. A moment ago, I almost died in front of him. Therefore, prepare yourselves and gather at Ruberios, I will pick you up there. Then one more thing, there's something important I should tell you later."
The important thing in question is the figure of mystery that he faced before. There is a need to tell them, so as not to do anything rash when meeting the figure.
Rigel deliberately stopped talking and gave them time to ask. Of course, he knew what things they would question.
"Wait around! isn't that too sudden?! If you say you almost died by that thing, then you've met him before??"
"Yes. If only my teleportation was a little late, I can guarantee that I won't go home unharmed."
Before the appearance of the White Tiger, Rigel's own condition was not very good, because he resisted the powerful attacks of the mysterious person before. Not only that, even his left hand was destroyed very easily. It would not be surprising that he would lose if he insisted against the white tiger.
"In addition, his movements are too fast, if he is serious about looking for me. I'm sure that he can meet me today, given his speed is as fast as light" Rigel said.
In one second, light can travel about 300 thousand kilometers. He did not know the exact thing, but it was likely that the White Tiger could compensate for the speed of light. It was very possible for the white tiger to reach the Region quickly. However, for some cases, it seems Whte tiger did not do it. It was possible that he thought that Rigel was not threatening his life at all, so there was no need for him to pursue.
"Anyway, prepare yourself today and I'll pick you up in the afternoon" Rigel stressed to them to move quickly.
"What about Hazama??" Petra interjected, "Has she been awake?"
Rigel himself does not know how Hazama is doing, but luckily he sends Ray there.
"For that, he's fine. He had regained consciousness, yet he was still unable to fight and was resting, so I deliberately picked up the radio he was holding so that none of the worries he had."
"The decision is right, Ray. We can't let him continue to worry while recuperating. Therefore, in Hazama's absence, the fight will be difficult."
"Huh, when it wasn't long before we fought the Phoenix," Aland let out a tired sigh and uttered his grievance.
Even Rigel could not say anything, given that the fight with the Phoenix was still fresh in his memory. Now, they must be forced to face the White Tiger, then the Dragon until finally the battle of Ragnarok.
"Given that there is no easy fight that we will face, I am a little bit happy to be able to survive this far. Then, I hope there will be no more deaths among us" Takumi said.
Something about him made Rigel curious. Seen however, he seemed to be too high-profile for the lives of those he knew. Even when Rigel dies in the ravine, Takumi embarks on a journey with the aim of avenging Rigel by killing Diablo.
Though he and Takumi are neither near nor far. Indeed, they often do things together, but none of the things that make them become sohib at that time.
"Yes.., hopefully there will be no more," Nadia agreed with Takumi.
"The death of something uncertain but certain will come. For that we need to embrace the hand and work together to keep seeing tomorrow" Marcel said with pride.
Takumi and the others simultaneously said 'Yes!' but Rigel just snorted as if it was a little funny. To be honest this was not his nature and place to say this, but still he would say.
"Yes.., let's do our best."
All turn off their calls and begin preparations. It took some time for his left arm to be re-attached perfectly so he would wait a little longer before facing his new slaves and knights.
***
About 15 minutes it takes to install his fake arm perfectly. Rigel goes to the royal hall and finds Yuri, Takumi, Ozaru, Tirith, Asoka, Merial and Natalia.
"Sorry to wait a long time... Where are Gahdevi, Odin and Leo?"
The whereabouts of the three people are unknown. Rigel is also curious about the whereabouts of Moris whom he has not seen since the chaos in the town of Darkness. Worst of all, Moris may have died of Marionette's rampage.
"They are with new people who seem to be unable to calm down. The whereabouts of Gahdevi and Odin they had come to know might be able to temper their anxiety," Asoka replied calmly.
"In addition, I didn't expect that you actually carried the nearly extinct Dwarf race, Rigel," Tirith also called out his opinion.
"Of course..., however, what about the White tiger?? Are you and the heroes sure you don't need any support??"
Hearing the name of the monster of doom, Tirith and Natalia were shocked. On the other hand, Merial had heard the situation from Rigel over the phone, so he was no longer surprised. For Ozaru, he may have heard a little story from Asoka but of course he wants to know more details.
"I appreciate your concern, but bringing useless people will only be another burden. Besides, you should've sensed and seen the monster's insane speed."
Asoka took a sip of saliva and started sweating as soon as she remembered it. He did not expect that the aura emitted by the monster of doom was terrifying. Not to mention, regarding the speed of the White tiger, only the word 'unreasonable' could be thought of.
"I agree with Rigel. Bringing them is like leading them to death. We just have to bring in people with abilities" Ozaru agrees with Rigel.
"Then" Takumi interrupted the conversation, "Regarding this White tiger, have you found out how it is??"
Everyone looked at Rigel. Surely it would not be easy to find such a monster, but Rigel had realized one thing about it.
"I'm not sure if it's true or not, but there's at least a 50:50 chance of it. Well, I'll explain later, when everyone's together."
It would be troublesome to have to explain it twice, so the wise choice explained it when everyone was gathered.
"Talking about them, how did they get here?? As I recall, none of the Heroes have marked the Region as a teleportation point" Yuri said.
That was what Rigel did to avoid Takatsumi invading the Region when Rigel wasn't there to protect. But he had made sure that there were no other traitors among them, so there was nothing to worry about.
"Because that's why you two are here. Don't think you can have a free honeymoon in the Region. You mark the Region on the teleportation list and pick them up. Ray's there and if there's a shortage of people, there's a Merial ready to help."
"We're not on our honeymoon?! why do you think of it that way??"
Beyond estimates. Rigel thinks Yuri is going to protest his jokes, but Takumi reacts more than he thinks. Takumi's face flushed slightly, while Yuri was completely flushed red.
"There's no need to hide your relationship from me. I know you guys have skidipap not long ago."
Rigel continues to corner Yuri and Takumi for them to acknowledge a relationship that is already clearly visible. Looking at Takumi and the blushing Yuri, Tirith and the others slightly chuckled at this refreshing sight.
"W-you're getting to be yeah, Rigel.., don't say such baseless words" Takumi said.
"uh? then give me back the contraception I gave you."
Takumi fell silent. He could not say anything more and it was very easy to guess that he had used it. Well, it's not good to keep teasing her, so she better stop here.
"Huh, in this way I have relieved a little of my stress. Before the meeting tonight, I'll meet some acquaintances first to discuss the important matter," Rigel chose to walk out instead of teleporting.
"It seems like you're really a busy person, yes," Yuri said.
"Huh~, although I want to slap you, but it is not good to waste time in this state, yes," Takumi smiled tiredly and with Yuri, he went to Ruberios.
As soon as Rigel got outside, he changed his direction to the palace grounds and found all the slaves he had brought from Darkness gathered there, without exception the Dwarves. There stood Leo, Odin, Gahdevi, Theresia and Garfiel who seemed to be releasing chains around the necks of slaves.
"Dad!! Are you all right?!"
Leo realized Rigel was approaching and called for his concern. He should have heard the details from Gahdevi and Odin, but Leo remained worried about him.
Theresia also seemed very surprised to see Rigel's face. He must have heard from Garfiel that Matsu's true identity is the Hero Creator. Theresa seemed to be blushing and wanted to say something, but she was holding it back because it was not important.
"Yes. I've finished changing my arms, so there's no problem. How are they doing??"
"At least they are no longer too agitated, but far from being okay," Odin replied with a slight problem.
"Especially the dwarves, they don't seem to have any life in their eyes" Gahdevi continued.
Rigel turned to the Dwarves who had gathered together and exiled themselves from the other slaves. They realized Rigel was approaching and kneeled to him respectfully. Rigel calculated that there appeared to be 28 Dwarves. It's more than it should be, but it's okay because it doesn't hurt it.
"Sir, please give us this lowly job and the weapons you want." said the man who appeared to be their leader.
Dwarves or Dwarves have a unique appearance that characterizes them. Growing short, have a long beard and large body muscles so they look midget rather than muscular.
"yes too. For now you should rest and clean yourself up. Not only the dwarves, but all of you. Your body odor is very pungent, so clean it first. Tirith and Natalia will bring clothes and food. Then, you will be directed to the place that will be your home."
The slaves raised eyebrows, especially the Dwarves who were completely shocked and could not believe what he had just heard.
"I'm sorry for this indecision, but am I not mishearing??"
"Yes, maybe you won't believe it. But you'll know after my people explain it. About the reason and why I named this country Region."
All have known the reason, especially his old colleagues like Asoka, Ray and Misa. Tirith knew it too, for Rigel had promised to make heaven without slavery.
"There's a lot of things I need to do, so I don't have time for you right now. Khrajay, Odin. You guys I have currently accepted in the Region. So, treat yourself to relaxation and learn more about this country, Leo will accompany you. Well then, I say goodbye," leaving that, Rigel jumped flying without waiting for their answer.
"Crazy.., when I want to praise his strength, but the Hero Lord is completely out of common sense" murmured Gahdevi, staring at Rigel who was flying away somewhere.
"Talking about beyond common sense, I didn't expect that you were a Giant race, Gahdevi," Odin said.
Gahdevi just snorted and smiled, "Yes, I'll explain it later when the Hero lord has time."
Back at Rigel, he arrived at the place that was his first destination, the Region forest. Noticing someone approaching, a pair of sinister eyes could be seen amidst the darkness of the cave.
"It looks like you've been over-indulging and sleeping all day, old man. Well, let it.., long time no see, Red."
His first destination was the pure Dragon race living in the Region forest due to his contract with Rigel.
"While you say so, to me we haven't seen each other in a long time. So, it seems that you came with something interesting to talk to me about."
Rigel smiled and thought, 'Hehe, he quickly caught my intention, ' then walked over to him.
"Yes.., let's hear some of your nostalgic stories" Rigel said.
