Three days passed quickly, coinciding with all, the preparations were finished well. In the end, the location of the fight would fall in the forest that was headed for Darkness city.
For the past three days, he had barely rested, preparing various iron walls for cover, automatic long barrel shots and traps to lock the cat up. Surely he wasn't sure if it could be used, but there was nothing wrong with preparing for it.
Position placement has been determined, starting from Heroes who are placed depending on their abilities. For example, Yuri, who is an expert in long-range attacks, will be very weak when faced with close combat.
Not only Yuri, but Petra had also prepared in the same position away from Yuri, surely she had close combat ability. But given his slow reflexes, making him a long-range fighter like Yuri. For the record, the two of them were in different places and at the top of the iron wall of Rigel's creation.
For that, Rigel deliberately placed it in the furthest place from the fight, after all they can shoot from the furthest distance as long as they can see the movement of their opponent. Just in case, he placed Odin and Gahdevi in each one of them.
For the vanguard there are Rigel, Takumi, Ray, and Nadia. They are the ones with the fastest reflexes among the others. Although Takumi was probably the slowest, at least his survival instincts were reliable. If his circumstances approach despair, Takumi will use his slacker curse to compensate for the fight.
For Marcel, Merial and Aland will be the middle part. As long as the White Tiger's attention was focused on the front-range fighters, they would give an attack and retreat back to give Petra and Yuri a chance to attack. A very simple plan, yet so troublesome and troublesome to deal with.
Ozaru and Natalia have been preparing in the Region and are ready to wait for the sign from Rigel, via radio in his ear. The time Ozaru has to intervene in the fight is very limited, at most it only lasts for 15 minutes.
"Everything ready??"
Looking into the eyes of the people who participated, it was clear that there was a strong belief in determination to live and that no one intended to lose. At this moment the sky began to darken and slowly a full full moon appeared.
The blue light shines brightly, providing illumination in the darkness of the forest at night. Mana emitted through the moonlight enveloped the forest—world shrouded in the night sky.
The atmosphere stiffened between the Hero and the people participating in the battle. A figure of doom that disrupted the world for several centuries, maybe 10 centuries old monsters terrorize mankind.
"Is he really coming??"
Nadia looks worried, because speed and fast reflexes are important keys in this fight. In the absence of Hazamas, a large-scale powerful attack could wipe them out. Rigel could certainly handle it, but if he switched to Vanguard, then the main battle power was drastically reduced. Therefore, defeating him as quickly as possible was very necessary.
"He's coming!"
Receiving Rigel's warning, all put up offensive horses and took a deep breath to calm down.
"So that's the mist, yeah."
Even the bright moonlight could not penetrate the thickness of the fog. Although they had to fight in it, a scattered formation was inevitable.
"Transformation!"
White fine fur mixed with black lines began to grow. Its fangs and sharp claws elongated, its eyes turning yellowish, revealing the sharp eyes of a savage beast. His figure looked charming and exerted a certain pressure, on the part of his resemblance to the White Tiger. He deliberately used transformation from the start, although he needed to escape and fight at full strength from the start.
There is no need to doubt about it. A monster that lived for hundreds of years without a single person ever managed to make him die, even a first generation Hero. Given that Heroes with powers beyond common sense are unable to overcome them easily, Leo's good times can be killed without doing anything. If so, then it is the same as being dead silly.
Although she wanted to be useful to Rigel who saved her and her brother, she should not die in a place like this. If he must die, let him die in the battle of Ragnarok.
Looks like I'm gonna have to put him down now, yeah, Rigel's temper.
Since the beginning of the spell, power has accumulated in the right hand and is ready to be cast at any time. Therefore, his hand shone slightly bluish while clenching as if holding back his strength.
As long as he held his power in hand, then his hand would not be free to cast magic. He can only deliver ordinary punches that are only powered physically.
He was about to activate it but his non-wearing instincts rang loudly. Vague yet so bitter and make cold sweat pour. Now there was no longer his usual casual face, only a horrifying horror could be seen.
"GARFIEL!!"
Although he may be late to do so, Rigel tries his hardest to reach Garfiel's place to protect him. The tree in front of them was slashed neatly, the wind blowing violently like a tornado speeding in the speed of light.
Noticing Rigel's loud scream, Garfiel gasped, but it was too late. A huge mouth with terrifying sharp fangs was right in front of him. His body was immobile, trembling in fear of the creatures that humanity feared, as well as being like the ancestors of the Hakurou race or even their fathers. Wanting to tear his body apart, Rigel and Takumi darted between them, holding his mouth wide open.
Takumi used his spear as a buffer for the White Tiger's mouth so it could not be closed. On the other hand, Rigel used the Hand of Midas to hold off the White Tiger fangs from reaching him.
"Go to Odin's!!"
Garfiel regained his senses, his stiff unmoved body slowly moving back. He forced his body which still had trembling marks that felt very clear. If he does not force himself to move, death is inevitable. Even he might hinder the movement of other Heroes.
He felt annoyed at his uselessness in this battle. Even he could not see the slightest movement, not even realize it. Only a feeling of uselessness lingered in his heart. Although he was fed up with how weak he was, he still obeyed Rigel and went towards Odin's place.
"Calamity Claw!!"
Nadia lunged, crossed both claws and was about to slash her neck, but in one blink of an eye, the White Tiger was not in front of her, leaving a small gust of wind in place. His attack became futile and crashed into a nearby tree that was within range.
There is nothing but fear and horror, admiration and hatred. His speed was beyond their capabilities, almost exactly Teleportation but not Teleportation. The time for the appearance of Teleportation can not take place in a fast time, there will be several pauses of at most 2 seconds before the body re-realizes.
Still in her shock, Nadia was unable to react in time when the White Tiger was behind her and stretched out its sharp claws. The horror was clearly visible on his face. He had no footing to dodge those sharp claws. Ahh~, am I going to die here, that's how he thought in his head.
Nadia was half-hearted if she had to accept her death here, even though some of her people refused death.
"Blade Dance!!"
"..., Ray.., thank you for saving me."
Nadia let out a sigh of relief, but returned quickly as she was unable to let her guard down against the monster that caused chaos for over 400 years.
The speed makes no sense. The White Tiger had now been right where it had come from before. Finding the opportunity, he used it to bring clouds and rain began to fall to meet the call of the water god, Poseidon.
Artificial rain is pouring down the forest and people. The battlefield will be slippery, the smell unreliable but every footprint can be heard, no matter how fast it is. As long as you have a real physical body.
Now that his hands were free, he was able to move as freely as possible. Finding that the full moon was now completely blocked by the rain clouds he called out, Rigel gave Natalia a sign of 'A little time.
While observing the White Tiger's body shape and unique movements, he found something quite heartbreaking. The fog that was supposed to be with the White Tiger seemed to stop, as if there was a barrier wall stopping it.
I don't know what happened, but he felt that there was something in the thick fog, although faint due to the rain, it seemed to make a constant sound in the same tone. Not slowing down one bit.
His gaze wriggled here and there, staring at one by one of them until it finally stopped as soon as it saw Rigel.
Hmpf.., Mmpf... White Tiger sniffed the smell around, while observing the opponent in front of him. Although he was a doom monster, unlike Hydra and Phoenix, White Tiger did not underestimate the opponent before him at all. No matter whether it is weak or strong, balanced or not, belittling your opponent is an unforgivable sin. If he was killed for underestimating the enemy, the White Tiger would not forgive itself and would atone for the sin by killing itself.
"This scent..., is that you, Aludra??"
A name that is no longer foreign in his ears. A name that is either described as a villain or a Hero, an existence of uncertainty and mysteriousness, Aludra.
Whether who or what this man is, his name is very popular among criminals and the source of world chaos. In fact, mysteriously, everything about him was forgotten, as if the world itself was trying to forget its existence. The record of it is erased, the puzzle of the past has holes everywhere. Because of the hole in the puzzle, some things cannot be solved by it. Although he can do great things like see the past, then there is no doubt that he will see the past of this Aludra.
"No. You're not Aludra, I guess. Your face isn't the same, it just smells, like."
Having the same smell is indeed a mystery and not understood, but now is not the time to discuss it.
"It should be obvious, so why do you consider the same person??"
"I don't seem very good at remembering someone's face, especially a lowly human like you,"
He's one of those things. All monsters of calamity are the same. They looked up to themselves, considering the other races inferior to them. Even so, the White Tiger did not say that humans were weak, only inferior.
"However, for that Aludra man, I cannot forget his face and his smell, I suppose. He was so amazing, that I wanted to kneel before him and let him sit on my back."
Until making monsters with high self-esteem like such a calamity, this Aludra cannot be underestimated. It seemed like he was indeed extremely strong, considering that he could be on par with a first-generation Hero.
He felt a little gratitude because the Aludra lived a thousand years ago. Although he was still breathing in the world, there was no doubt that, perhaps he would be the biggest hindrance to him. In light of all the events he heard about Aludra, most of them had to do with crime. Creating slavery, the reconstruction of Garfiel's predecessor's body until finally the relationship with the White Tiger.
I don't know how much more chaos his legacy brings, but for now, let the past stay where it belongs.
"Heh, in fact you're just a big cat who's even afraid of a human who's not clear who and where his origins are" Takumi sneered.
Getting provocation from Takumi, the cold started piercing the skin. That Eve came from the White Tiger, but that doesn't mean she took out Ice or anything like that. His aura and gaze were extremely cold, as if it could pierce through the chest at any moment
"Don't be presumptuous, man. You don't deserve to be insulting, damaging, tarnishing, dirtying, about it. Among the lowly and trashy, he became the only human I recognized, he said. Though man, he burned the world with chaos, causing the mass death of mankind, shaking the world with boundless anger and malice, I guess."
It was strange for him to say this, but the White Tiger calamity seemed to greatly admire this Aludra. Almost like a fanatic Aludra or a cat who tells the greatness of his master.
"Why should? Even though we kept making fun of him because no matter who and what the guy was, were you planning on sending us to the next place??"
"I will not give you relief from death. Life itself is a painless torture. Sometimes a person will cry, sometimes happy, sometimes angry, sometimes melancholy, sometimes hollow, I think. Therefore, I only need to add pain as a complement, to torture named life, I guess."
Incomprehensibly. Rigel could not understand what the monster was talking about. Trying to understand it will seem the same as someone trying to understand human blood cells. On one hand, he looked like a holy monster that appreciated the meaning of life, yet on the other he looked like a vicious monster that trampled on life.
"Your words are incomprehensible. What is understandable is that you intend to hurt all life in the world and consider it as a complement to torture" Rigel said.
"Life is all about white or black, good or bad, trying or giving up, and there is nothing in between. The reward of all this is heaven or hell. Heaven gives comfort, hell gives despair. To me, this world is very dirty and very sinful, as well as its inhabitants. Living in comfort is a great sin, therefore life needs despair as a penance, I guess! As a great monster, I will give a way of repentance in the form of being wiped out from the world, in the form of pain, in the form of sadness, in the form of anger, in the form of hatred, in the form of evil and in the form of nothing!!"
Roaarrrww....
White Tiger sent out a deafening powerful Auman. His figure quickly dissipated, speeding at full speed towards Rigel.
A claw strong enough to split the Adamantite in one fell outstretched toward him. In a time lag that only happened for a few micro seconds, his figures started to flash and smashed into each other at full speed.
The exchange of the two of them was already beyond human capabilities, it should be. They continued to attack each other at lightning speed, throwing down the trees in his escape.
Ray, Nadia and Takumi just stared at Rigel's exchange with the White Tiger. They cannot enter carelessly if they do not want to lose their life. They also do not know when to enter the fight, even to just follow the movement requires a very focused focus.
On the way, Rigel sends raindrops towards the White Tiger. The water shot out at a speed equivalent to a rifle bullet, powerful enough to hollow out a tree.
The drops of water shot out, but vanished in the middle because of the faint thing that White Tiger did. Rigel kept darting fast without turning his back on the White Tiger, but it was a big mistake. The monster that was supposed to be in front of him had surprisingly been behind him, opening its mouth wide to display its fangs.
At the same time, a super long stick slapped the White Tiger's face from the air, powerful enough to make it crash backwards. The wand began to shorten, eventually showing a handsome man using it, Ozaru.
