The Legends Of Creator Hero
Destroying and determining destiny

I'm gonna hole this wall, though it sounds absurd doesn't mean it's impossible to do it.

Azazel shot like lightning straight towards me, he shot out a green energy ball directly at me.

I dodged it by jumping up but Azazel charged at me very quickly.

Azazel swung his fist which was covered in a green aura, I fused my hands together and created a shot of blue-colored light. We exchanged attacks and punches while wandering all over the place. I could feel blood flowing from my nose.

Damnit damnit! I have to do it fast.

I paused while rubbing my nose which was bleeding from moving too fast. Azazel also stopped and faced straight at me.

"You're a very great hero. You even forced my body to regenerate continuously due to the wounds I received."

Azazel said as he turned his shoulders.

I really hate opponents who have regenrative abilities that are very fast like him!

Normally, to deal with someone who possessed an extraordinary regenrative ability like Azazel, I would have to as much as possible make him receive extremely severe injuries or destroy his entire body to the point of being unresponsive.

Regenrative ability is not a capability without weaknesses. The downside of that ability is that it consumes a lot of stamina and makes your body tired quickly because, the body's healing power in force increases many times over to heal a wound.

So, regenerating the body is much more tiring than running around the field. However, Azazel somehow regenratif hers was a little different. His ability not only healed his body, but also healed his strength.

Did his power come from the key he kept? I mustn't rest in this fight, because as long as we keep quiet like this, his strength recovers.

"Come on, if this keeps on I'll kill you later. Don't you want to know your fate about your fate?"

Azazel sneered.

"I don't really care about anything that's not logical and always changes like fate."

Rigel scoffed.

Azazel smiled and closed his eyes, he rested on one leg and placed his right hand on his waist.

"It is true that the destiny of every living thing is always changing, no matter if it is a demon, an angel or even a human. Destiny won't choose love, destiny always takes away whatever you love."

Azazel said, there was a tone of sadness behind his voice.

"Yet you're different, Rigel." Azazel looked at Rigel seriously.

It's the first time he's called my name, before he just called me a hero. Then Azazel started to continue, he said

"You have your own destiny. Your destiny can't be changed since you accepted that man's offer. Slowly, that fate will take everything away from you."

Azazel began to stretch out his hands.

"Your journey will not be easy, you will meet various difficult roads that are waiting for you. Everything, everything you love and hate will melt into one, leaving only you screaming in silence. Then, at the end of it all, you're just waiting for your end for thousands of years."

Azazel looked at the sky, his hands still stretched out.

I didn't just shut up and listen to her words that might actually refer to what was waiting for me. I was also gathering mana from the blue-colored runes that formed on my body. From a split second, I realized that there was liquid coming out of my eyes, my left eye that had been shattered.

"What's? Why is this, am I crying?"

No, only my left eye is spitting out fluid. My left eye should have been destroyed and no longer have the eyeball to hold the tears, then why is this dripping from there?

I wiped the water coming out of my left eye, but when I realized it, it was not water. It was blood that came out as if replacing the tears that did not exist.

"seen? Your soul with hers is connected. Ahh, that is clear proof that you are the one who will realize the promised day."

Azazel said with joy.

He talked about the promised day. What day is it actually? On monday? I have absolutely no idea what he is saying. Even if I tried to figure it out, I was sure he would just tell me to face Satan.

"I don't know what you've been talking about since and I don't even care about it, including the fate you're referring to."

Rigel.

Azazel's brows furrowed in anger because of the words I said, he also emitted a bit of a strange aura, not anger or anything.

"However, I will choose my own destiny, to hell with a god or other figure who pretends to determine my destiny! I'll destroy destiny myself."

Rigel yells and picks up the corner.

"Then show me if you CAN DESTROY DESTINY!"

Azazel roared furiously and let out an enormous killing intent.

But I didn't just shut up and listen. I've finished preparing for my attack. I ran quickly towards Azazel who started shooting green fireballs.

I dodged it easily, as Mirai and Anastasia had left and were hiding in front of the door which was destroyed by Azazel's attack the moment we were about to enter this place. With this, I don't have to worry about a stray attack on them.

I increased my speed and lowered my body a little. Azazel was unable to keep up with my speed so he was surprised because I was already by his side. I used my right hand which was watered by the power of blue runes and smashed it hard into Azazel's stomach.

"If it is true that my destiny has been established. THEN I WILL SET YOUR DESTINY TO DIE HERE!!"

Rigel roars while throwing Azazel against the wall.

The wall where Azazel landed had many cracks while Azazel had quite a lot of damage he received. Not stopping there, Rigel moved a finger on his right arm to throw what he had made without Azazel's knowledge.

"Which technique: THE HAMMER OF JUDGMENT!"

Rigel yells.

A giant blue hammer slid towards Azazel who was still attached to the wall where it was thrown. The giant hammer smashed through Azazel's entire body which was still stuck to the wall very hard.

Bang out!

Cracks!

Because of the hard hit from the giant hammer, now the wall has a fairly wide crater while Azazel uses both hands to resist the hammer's push.

"It's not over yet!!"

Rigel yells.

A gigantic palm formed from mana appeared and struck the hilt of the giant hammer. The giant hammer was pushed because of the impact of which hand past,

Crack

Crack

Duars!!

The pillar wall that connects this floor to the next floor successfully penetrated. Rigel has managed to create a hole and bring Azazel out of the floor.

With this, I will use my entire depleted attack even if we have to fight in the sky.

Rigel drew more power from nature and from the runes formed on his body.

One attack! Devote everything I have to one final attack!!

An enormous force gathered around Rigel. Rigel's open eyes and mouth began to emit blue-colored rays as a great power overflowed within his body.

Rigel pulled his right arm and slid towards Azazel who had been battered because his body was made into nails to hollow pillars. Azazel was silent despite knowing that with the powerful attack Rigel would unleash, he would definitely be killed with a battered body like this.

I ignored the fact that Azazel did nothing as if he had given up and was ready to accept his death.

I smashed the fist in his right hand into Azazel's silvery face and used all of his strength for one of his strongest skills.

"Taste this, DRAGON NOVA!"

Rigel yells.

Blue light came out of my fist. The light spread out like a meteor and rained down on Azazel's body with a blue meteor.

"A-aaaarrrrrgghhhhhh!!!"

Azazel roars to the sick.

Azazel crashed away from the connecting pillar of the floor. Azazel landed on the ground like an atomic bomb, he landed far away from the settlement so there were no casualties from his fall.

I slowly approached Azazel who was already weak helpless on the ground. The land where it landed, creating a giant crater that would likely become a lake if filled with a lot of water.

"What, you think? I decided it was your destiny to die here."

Said Rigel coldly.

Azazel closed his eyes and laughed weakly.

"Ahaha, well, you are indeed strong, Rigel. However, did you know, that those runes were not from soul power and the curse of anger anymore."

Azazel said weakly.

I was surprised by what he said. He was probably right that this was no longer the anger curse rune because the power I felt was very different from before. Could this be because of soul energy?

As if to answer my curiosity, Azazel opened his mouth.

"That's the key power. Khack!"

Azazel said while spewing blood in his throat.

My eyes grew in surprise at his statement. I'm sure he didn't lie, because it was useless for Azazel to lie in his last moment.

Azazel took something out of his infertory, he pulled out the key I wanted.

"This key is something you need. Actually, there are five key fragments like this. We princes are required to look after each one of them. Then, for the fifth key, it will be handed over to someone who deserves to use the power of this key."

Azazel.

I just listened to the explanation he gave me and recorded every word he said in my head. Because, this might be the information I really need in the future.

"We princes, including Satan cannot even use the power of this key. The reason we princes charge from climbing the floor is to strengthen the power of this key."

Azazel.

"Strengthen the power of the key?"

Rigel said in confusion.

"Yes. We do not use every soul core we receive to be absorbed into our soul core, but that soul core will be handed over to this key in the hope that they will get stronger."

Azazel paused for a moment to take a deep breath.

His breath was now breathless, it was not long so I did not ask him the question I wanted to ask.

"I will give you this key, the one who deserves to use the power of the key. Since you were the one who was chosen the first key, you are no longer required to climb the floor from below. I will use my last strength to teleport you to the floor where the princes are. On the 50th floor, you only need to pick up the key because the fool Astaroth let his soul core be absorbed by the key."

Azazel slightly laughed and thrust the key in his hand towards me.

I accepted it and continued to pay attention to the key that was now in my hands. I can feel the enormous energy coming from the key.

"Now, I don't have much time. I'll move you to the floor where the keys are and at the end, you'll meet Satan. You'll automatically switch every time you pick up the key."

Said Azazel who started chanting.

"Tu-wait! With a battered state like this, I will instantly die when faced with another prince!"

Rigel snapped at Azazel.

"Calm down, even if you consider us princes as enemies. However, believe me that we are all on the same side as the person who sent you here."

Azazel.

I was surprised by it. He found out that I was here because someone I don't remember told me to finish 100 floors of this hellish labyrinth. But can I really believe it?

"We are the ones who want a big change to this world. I'm sure you're the one who's gonna make it happen."

My body began to shine brightly because of the transfer spell Azazel cast on me.

"The fate that awaits you at the end will be very sad, Rigel. However, I'm sure that you can destroy the damn destiny that has even taken so much away from me, then this is the end. See you soon."

Azazel.

Azazel smiled gently. Though I thought of him as an enemy that I had to defeat, but from the smile he showed, I could not feel the slightest bit of hatred just a smile and his eyes signified great hope.

I continued to stare at Azazel who started to change his body and become the soul core. Then, with one word from him I'll move.

"I'll give you a piece of advice, Rigel. This place is a place filled with hypocrites, do not let your feelings hinder you at the end. That's all I want to say,"

Azazel.

I wanted to ask what he meant before I could ask.

"See you, Rigel. Teleport!"

"Tu-wait!"

A dazzling golden light covered my body. This is the nostalgic feeling of an instant transportation magic that allows me to move around in a blink.

Is it with this, I don't need to waste a lot of time for 90 years to finish this labyrinth? As I recall, it has probably been about 4 or 5 years since I entered this place.

Even though I felt happy about successfully completing this labyrinth, I somehow felt like this was very fraudulent and unfair. Not only was I given the chance to reach the 100th floor with a single go, but I also gained strength from a key that was likely very strong.

Well, it would be better for me to think about it later, after all my memories have returned.
