The Legends Of Creator Hero
Ozen the black swordsman

KAMADA TAKUMI POV.

It didn't take long for us to get to the silvet village. I knew that this village was terrorized by a manticore but I never thought it would be this severe.

There are some houses that are destroyed and only debris remains, there are also some houses that are in the construction stage.

"W-what's going on with the village?"

Bell.

Bell's face looked very shocked by the state of Silvet village. Apparently, it had been a few years that he had not returned to the village and even though he was an adventurer, he had,

He had never heard of the Silvet village being attacked by a manticore. His expression was not a lie. I patted Bell's shoulder slowly to calm her down.

The thing that puzzled me was why was the monster still alive if there was someone as strong as the old man I was fighting earlier? I am not even sure I won against him

After knowing the abilities he used at the end of our fight. Then, as if answering my suspicions, he began to speak.

"As you can see, a Manticore attacked Silvet village a week ago. The monster was extremely cunning, every time he sensed someone strong was coming, he would go away from this place.

That's why until now I haven't been able to kill him. He realized my aura even though I had suppressed it as much as I could."

Said teacher Bell in a tone that looked annoyed.

So I see, it turns out that it is true in addition to the fact that this monster is quite smart, he is also a cunning monster.

For me, the Manticore used some sort of messing up and running strategy if there was a figure that could threaten his life. That was the right strategy for a coward like him.

We continued walking through the various destroyed buildings and we arrived at the edge of the forest which turned out to be quite close to where the Manticore had appeared.

Besides a small house that was not luxurious, I could see a workshop for the blacksmith behind the house, there was also a building that looked like a dojo or training arena.

We are welcome to enter his residence. I sat in a chair made of unique wood that had an aromatherapic smell that tickled my nose.

There was no special right to stand out in the house other than a set of light armor-type combat armor, a mask and a jet-black sword.

It is completely black from the tip of the foot to the end of the hair. If I wear a black suit like that, I might look more like a demon than a hero.

Although I have to admit, the all-black combat suit was very cool and to be honest I had imagined how cool and dashing I would be if I used it.

"Are you interested in teacher's armor?"

Said a girl sitting next to Bell.

"ah, yeah. I've never seen such an all-black combat suit."

"Well, maybe it's just the teacher who uses such a tacky suit" he said "Ah yeah by the way introduce my name Tessa, I'm Bell's childhood friend."

Tessa introduced herself.

" Yey, Tessia. Isn't my way of talking too casually to a hero?"

Say one of the twins.

"Ahaha, it's okay. Don't be so formal because I don't like that kind of formality."

Takumi said while laughing dryly.

"Ah, yes. Then let us introduce ourselves. My name is Alfonso, just call me Al and this is my brother Elfonso or more familiarly called El.

And for the person who was fainting earlier was your friend Egil."

Al introduced himself.

"Ah, just call me Takumi. nice to meet you."

We all smiled at each other. I watched Bell who had just been quiet.

"What's wrong with you, Bell?" Ask Takumi.

"Ti-no~, it's just me—"

"Don't you say your childish dream of becoming a hero in front of the hero himself?" Tessia seduces Bell.

As if his words were true, Bell covered his flushed face and we all laughed together.

I shook my head to stop thinking about the past. We talked to each other cheerfully.

"Do you know, teacher has the nickname Ozen the black swordsman?"

"Ozen the black swordsman? So the old man's name is Ozen?"

Ask Takumi.

Tessia nodded in response. The nickname Ozen the black swordsman may be very suitable for him because of a set of combat clothes that are all black.

I imagine what if I got the nickname Takumi the black hero, it sounded very unethical. I can imagine Yuri's laughing face off.

"Yare yare, can you not name that embarrassing nickname?"

The voice of old man Ozen came out from the kitchen.

He carried a teapot containing tea as well as several cups made of glass. He poured the tea and filled the entire empty cup gracefully.

"I'm sorry if this tea isn't as gentle as you might normally drink, spear hero."

Ozen said as he bowed his head.

"Ah okay, soft or rough leaves are still leaves, and I beg you not to use such formality."

Takumi scratched his head while smiling.

"The leaves are still leaves, right? You said it might hurt our tea connoisseurs."

He smiled gently while slightly teasing.

Even as high as the quality they have, to me it's the same, leaves are leaves and nothing changes.

"Well, let's just skip the leaf talk, how about you explain the current situation about that cunning fox?"

Takumi switched the conversation.

Old man Ozen sat down across from where I was sitting and began to explain the situation regarding the Manticore.

Long story short, there has been no big movement of the cunning monster during the week and according to witnesses from Al, it seems that the Manticore is gathering weak monster like goblins.

Looks like this Manticore is smarter than I thought. He was currently building an army filled with weak monsters and was intent on raiding this village.

From the words of Ozen, they had given the Quest to the guild but not a single adventurer had run it yet.

Bell and I came at the right time, it might not be long for the Manticore to attack this village.

Bell had a capable ability in both physical and magic combat, for Al, El and Tessia they were not as tough as cold in physical combat, either,

But it was their magical power and perfect coordination that made it terrifying. To Egil, he had a stocky body and was endowed with great physical strength.

For her magic ability she is on par with Al yet she further fuses her magic on defense magic which makes her a sturdy meat shield.

"Oh yes, from what I remember when you held my spear in the previous battle, you used Divine Protection? Isn't that just something the heroes have?"

"Not really. Divine protection is the divine power of a god that a person is born with or trains hard or even you can get by receiving it from someone."

"I will not explain how I obtained the Divine Protection of soul-Earth. However, for the case of the Divine belonging to different heroes.

The divine belonging to a hero is something that is continuously passed down by the hero spirits of the previous generation as well as the holy weapon spirits."

I kept listening to Ozen's explanation. Even Bell and his friend listened to him quietly.

"Divines that are inherited only to the heroes are the Divine Protection of saint Hero and the Divine Protection of saint weapon."

I understand the outline of the Divine that the hero has. For example Divine saint weapon, I believe it is a Divine that can access the sacred weapons that heroes possess.

After speaking of some series from other divine protection, it somehow turned into a story about my world before coming here.

In fact, old man Ozen listened with great interest to hear my story about the earth.

Unconsciously the sun started to set and I decided to stay at the house of the old man ozen tonight.
