The Legends Of Creator Hero
The unexpected reunion

BELL POV.

I'm dealing with four witches. My face is still covered in a hood, the same as the faces of those witches who are also covered.

I was wary of the four magicians while paying attention to the surrounding area in anticipation of the surprise attack from the other party.

Even though I'm just a novice adventurer, that doesn't mean I can't fight at all.

I have a teacher who is very strict in training me and the other children. We are always taught not to underestimate the enemy and be wary of the surrounding area.

For us, he was a great teacher. The 'Shamack' magic I cast earlier was also taught by him as one of the ways to escape blinding the vision.

In addition to magic, we were also taught to use weapons that we mastered as well as bare-handed martial arts. He was really a good mentor even though his teaching was like a demon.

I refocused on the fight and glanced at Takumi who was facing off against the leader of these mountain bandits.

'It doesn't seem easy there either, huh.'

Huuh~

I took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. I charged towards one of the witches.

I extended my hand to my waist where my sword was.

The witch gasped and tried to avoid me because she probably thought I would use my sword.

However, instead of taking the sword, I muttered a spell.

"Deliver the laws of nature and create what I want Aqua slash!"

Water shaped like a blade shot towards the witch. The witch looked down to avoid it, but that's what I wanted.

I sped as fast as I could towards the witch. I used the wind element at my feet to give a bit of speed to my steps.

He tried to get away from me but it was too late. I gripped her neck tightly with my left hand and slammed the witch into the ground.

The ground where the witch's head hit the ground had several cracks in the surroundings. The witch had lost her consciousness a moment ago.

The hood I was wearing had been blown off to the point of fully revealing my face. Just as I was about to beat up the remaining witches, a voice came.

"Bell?"

The voice of a young woman I knew emerged from one of the remaining witches.

"That voice, Tessia?" said Bell.

"It turns out you're really Bell!"

The girl— Tessia exclaims.

The girl opened the hood that covered her face. Behind the hood, there was a beautiful face of a woman who had been my friend since childhood.

His brownish red hair was tied back so as not to hinder him in the fight.

Her beautiful gray eyes exuded tenderness and warmth, she was my childhood friend, Tessia.

After Tessia opened the hood on her face, the other witches also opened the hood that covered their faces.

Their faces are quite foreign, but that doesn't mean I don't recognize them.

They are the El and Al brothers!

"It turns out you're really Bell." El Say.

"Yo, it's been 4 years, Bell. You haven't changed much, huh." Al.

What a surprise, knowing that these witches were my childhood friends.

"What are you guys doing here? Why did you become a mountain bandit?"

I wondered to my friend who I hadn't seen in a long time. Then, I noticed the witch who was below me.

"If you're here, could it be him?"

"Your guess is right, she's poor Egil." Answer Al.

Not to be surprised, I was concerned about him. Egil's luck was as bad as if the goddess of luck hated him.

"If only you hadn't covered your face, Egil probably wouldn't have become like this know." Bell.

I got up from the fainted body of Egil and walked over to my friend.

"That goes for you, too, fool."

Tessia said as she slowly hit my head.

"You haven't told me why you're a bandit, can you explain it first?"

Bell.

"Yes, but before that, we have to tell the teacher first. I'm afraid he's gonna kill your friend."

"G-teachers?"

Mumbled Bell.

I could feel my spine shivering when I heard that my teacher was here. I immediately turned my head towards Takumi who was still fighting fiercely with the bandit Boss who might be my teacher.

Clangs!

When I turned to Takumi's fight with my teacher, I could see the blade of my teacher's sword that Takumi had broken.

KAMADA TAKUMI POV.

Woosh!

A blade of wind slammed towards me, I jumped to the left to avoid it and a sword tried to stab me.

Ting!

I managed to hold it with my spear tip that turned into a trident and directly attacked it with my skill.

"Lightning Spear!"

Powerful streams of electricity flowed through my spear and charged towards the bandit boss in the form of an electric spear.

The old man took a considerable distance away from me and built a fairly thick wall of earth before my lightning spear struck him.

Cracks!

I frantically crossed my spear and raised it with both hands to hold the blade of his sword.

Ting!

I managed to hold back his sword that was trying to split my head. I focused too much on the bandit boss and his sword fighting with my spear without paying attention to the surrounding area.

Then, as if warning me of danger, my instincts screamed to immediately dodge to the side and...

Sing!

A small knife floated up and scratched the clothes and meat on my waist. The wound was deep enough but it didn't reach the stage that put my life at risk.

I pushed the bandit boss's sword and took a few steps back.

"Damn! Where did that damn knife come from!" Takumi Serapah.

Right now I am only wearing armor that protects my chest so that my body's defense will be very vulnerable.

With my spear holding the blade of his sword, my lower body was clearly a tanoa of protection.

"Hoho's? Your instincts are good enough to avoid my hidden moves."

He chuckles happily.

"Based on a cunning old bastard."

Takumi scoffs.

Well, if that's how you play, I'll do it, old man. It would be a shame for me that a hero was defeated by a mountain bandit boss.

Even though I have a few tricks up my sleeve. The reason I didn't use it until now is because it would probably reveal my identity as a hero.

Although I doubt if this bandit boss doesn't realize that I'm a spear hero. I'm sure he must have noticed it from our exchange all along because I only had a spear as a weapon.

I focused my mana on using a skill that I would use as one of my trump cards.

I leaned my body forward and shortened the distance between us. I slashed towards his waist yet he managed to hold it with his sword.

Right now he was starting to use both of his swords directly probably because he would feel danger if he did not do so now.

I continuously launched my attacks without giving him the slightest pause to breathe. He managed to withstand my entire tubular attack.

I took a few steps back to shake and change the shape of my spear. I accessed the system'index' which looked like a game.

"Change weapon: Dragon's spear!"

My spear began to change shape which was originally shaped like a trident, now turned into a sharp blade shaped like a large fang at both ends of my spear.

Anyone can know that only the hero can change the shape of the weapon. I couldn't see the expression behind his mask, but I'm sure he was a little surprised.

I quickly cut the distance and pointed my spear towards his upper shoulder.

Ting!

As I expected, he would manage to hold it with his sword however, my true goal was not his shoulder, but his sword.

"Yes!!"

Clangs!

His blade had broken in two and now he only had one sword left to use. Not happy to stop there, though,

I swung and stabbed my spear into his chest. The bandit boss retreated so that my spear could not reach it, but it was useless.

I changed my grasp from the first to the front to the back like someone about to throw a stick. I used the skill that I had already applied.

"Javelin strike!!"

My spear shot out so fast that it looked like a blue light that shot out so fast that the bandit boss was too late to react.

Clangs!

The bandit boss pointed his sword towards my spears which shot out rapidly so as to make his blade break.

Then, as if time were running slow, the bandit boss said something.

"As expected of the spear hero, you still have a lot of tricks up your sleeve, however..."

Bang out!!

The loud bangs rang loudly, the trees and leaves shook from the extremely violent wind.

Smoke from the flying ash covered the area around the bandit boss and slowly faded away.

When I thought I managed to defeat him however... Hope betrayed me. The bandit boss managed to hold him back with one hand outstretched in front of my spear that was still hovering in place.

He was pushed a few meters from where he was before. He held my spear right at the end of my spear blade unharmed even though his clothes now looked tattered.

Cracks.

The cracking sound of his mask resounded in that brief silence. I looked around and found Bell with three men, one of whom was unconscious and a beautiful woman.

Bell kept staring at me and the bandit boss with a blank and surprised look. I looked back at the bandit boss as my spear returned by itself to the grasp of my hand.

"W-how can b-can?" Mumbles.

"I used a special skill from the Divine Protection of Soul-Earth series. I pulled the soul force from the ground and made it my strength."

Divine series? Soul-earths? It was the first time I heard about this. Isn't Divine Protection something that heroes have? How could anyone other than the hero have it.

The bandit boss took off his mask which was filled with cracks. Behind the creepy black mask, there is the face of a man in his 50s.

His face emitted an aura that featured a powerful man who had a gentle face and eyes.

"It looks like my student Bell was friends with a hero and was intending to take him to the village, huh?"

"Your disciples? What the hell is going on here? Bell?" Takumi confusion.

"Y-well actually I was also surprised by this unexpected reunion."

Bell scratched his head in confusion and his eyes bulak back staring around.

"Well, we better talk about it in my house while sipping a cup of tea."

Said the bandit boss who turned out to be Bell's teacher.

I still don't understand what really happened. However, since they were acquaintances of Bell there was no reason to reject his invitation. We rushed straight to the village of Silvet.
