The Legends Of Creator Hero
The Hand of Midas

A half-hour's worth of hiatus passed as Rigel rode the pedati towards the village the boy was in. When he reached the small village, it was too late.

There were nearly half of the population had been killed and poisoned by the Black Viper. There were some women lying weakly naked all around.

"This must be a fucking goblin!"

Cold cursed.

This could not be helped anymore because it had been quite a while since the goblin army led by the Black Viper attacked.

"At least find and gather the living! I'm gonna take out the snake and the fucking goblin."

Rigel darted and looked for the presence of monsters around the village.

"You also gather the survivors and heal the wounded!"

Yuri ordered some of his party members to help the citizens. Party member Yuri nodded and started to split up while Yuri started chasing Rigel.

'This one?... They do not split, but remain in the group.'

Rigel sensed the goblins were attacking the village in a large group and not dispersing into small groups. Goblins are not smart but they are not stupid. They can think that fighting in large groups is better and even they sometimes join with strong monsters to their salvation, for example they join the Black Viper.

Gwai!

"Well, Whoa. I'm sorry to interrupt your party, but unfortunately you're the subject of my weapons tests."

Rigel pulled out two coboy pistols that had been created before.

"Alright, now we see if modern weapons from the 20th century can hurt monsters like you."

As if understanding Rigel's provocation, the goblins started running and lunged at Rigel. One goblin jumped right in front of him.

Dor's!

Rigel shot the head of the goblin that jumped at him with a gun in his left arm.

Dor's! Dor's! Dor's! Dor's! Dor's!

Rigel kept shooting while avoiding the crowd of goblins that came to him. When the gun goes to the bullet depletion, Rigel only needs to make the bullet directly in the gun without the need to insert it.

"Hmmm, this seems to be useful for killing monsters. Then let's try the next weapon."

Rigel put both his pistols in the pocket that was on his waist. Rigel picked up a round object in the infertory, it was a grenade.

Rigel jumps up and pulls the trigger of the grenade and throws it at the goblin herd. One of the goblins caught a grenade like a fool and smiled mockingly then....

Duars!!

The bomb exploded and provided considerable destructive power. A cloud of mist covered the surrounding area due to the explosion, then a rain of arrows onto emasan descended from the sky and rained down on the goblins.

"Rain arrows!"

Gwar!!!

The goblins screamed in pain as the rain of arrows rained down on them. Rigel jumped up to stand next to the girl who brought the rain of arrows.

"Seeing the weapons that shouldn't be in this world, it turns out you're really Rigel."

Yuri.

"At first I barely recognized you either, Yuri. Is your weight gaining?"

Rigel scoffed.

"Even though your outward appearance is very different, but from your words and your nature has not changed at all."

They were both equally smiling as the goblins started roaring furiously.

"Back off Rigel, without that modern weapon you're so weak. Let me just finish them off because a long-range attack is my ahlian."

Yuri.

"You only see a little cat but don't realize that the little cat is a lion."

Yuri did not understand what Rigel meant. As the fog cloud began to dissipate, Rigel reentered his weapon.

"Well, it seems that modern weapons can kill monsters. Then I'll show you a little bit of what I have."

Rigel snapped all of his fingers and slowly walked towards the remaining goblin army.

"What are you doing?! Even though they were only goblins, their large numbers were extremely troublesome."

Yuri yelled at Rigel who kept stepping towards the goblin herd. Rigel simply ignores Yuri's warning and confronts the goblins who approach him.

'One hundred years I've been training in a different dimension. Most of the time the training was used to slaughter over ten million inhabitants of the hell labyrinth including my friends.'

Inner Rigel.

Rigel touched his chest, where Priscilla's soul core, now a necklace, was located. Rigel smiled as a flock of goblins approached him. Rigel closed his eyes.

'But somehow, I feel a sense of pleasure at the moment. Looks like I'll be the one to enjoy the fight.'

One goblin jumped towards Rigel and thrust his small knife. When the goblin was very close, Rigel opened his eyes and smiled like a demon. His eyes were radiating from someone who enjoyed slaughter and killing.

Rigel's left leg lifted high and reached the face of the goblin who was trying to attack him. Rigel's soles hit the goblin's face and Rigel slammed his foot into the ground along with the goblin. The head of the goblin that was at Rigel's feet was destroyed by being stepped on by him.

The goblins were exposed to Rigel's provocation and started attacking simultaneously. Rigel just swung his legs because the size of the goblins was only around his waist. Rigel twisted his body and grabbed the leg of the goblin that leaped towards him and threw it firmly at the other goblin.

Yuri couldn't help, she was very surprised by Rigel's fight. He had never expected that the hero who should have been the weakest among them, had now become extremely strong, perhaps even stronger than him.

"Hahaha, come! Is this all you have?! Where's your leader, the Black Viper!"

Rigel looks very happy when he kills the goblin and fishes for the Black Viper to show itself. Rigel did not even sweat and his clothes and body were not exposed to any bloodstains.

Rigel continued to kill the goblins with just his martial arts and blasted the goblins with whichever technique he mastered. It was just a one-sided massacre.

Duars!

Something started to come out from the ground and wriggle out. It was the size of a house but its body was very long, it had black scales with brown eyes and a tongue that looked like a whip kept sticking out, it was a Black Viper.

"Finally, the boss monster appears."

Rigel.

"Observe heart! The poison is so deadly, if exposed, your skin will melt."

Yuri yells.

It was true that this monster poison was so dangerous that it placed him in the A rank monster. Other than his long body and poison, the troublesome thing about this monster was that he could not be killed as long as his Core was not destroyed.

It was difficult to find the whereabouts of his Core on his long body not to mention, most of his body was still inside the ground.

"Hey, Yuri. Do you know where this monster Core is?"

Ask Rigel.

"It's very difficult to determine because they have different places. However, we can try it from the head."

Reply Yuri.

Just as Rigel was about to attack the Black Viper, the remaining goblins started to move and were about to attack Rigel.

'Tch! They are difficult when in groups.'

"Light Arrow!"

Arrows of light shot out and attacked the remaining goblins. Rigel was surprised and turned towards Yuri.

"Let me take care of the goblins, you face the black!"

Rigel simply nodded and went head-to-head with the Black Viper. Rigel stared at the Black Viper while searching for the whereabouts of his Core.

Sssttsss!

The Black Viper hissed towards Rigel and opened its disgusting mouth to reveal its two long fangs.

"You've looked ugly so there's no need to make it any uglier."

The Black Viper took out its poison towards Rigel, Rigel jumped right and jumped again towards the head of the Black Viper.

"Where to Hand: Hand Of Midas!"

Hands onto the giant emasan made of mana appeared and grasped the head of the Black Viper. Rigel gripped the black Viper's head using the Hand Of Midas tightly and smashed its head.

Blood and poison began to pour out from the Black Viper's crushed head due to Rigel's Hand Of Midas.

The reason Rigel named it the hand of midas is because the mana hand is colored to emasan. In ancient Egyptian mythology, there is a story about the king of midas who received the blessing of a god. He can turn any object he touches into gold but because of that power also midas starve to death because every food he touches turns into gold.

"If it's not in his head, it's around his body."

Mumbles Rigel.

'Looking for it in his long body would be troublesome. I have to think of an easier way.'

After a moment of thought, Rigel found a way that might be very effective.

"Alright, first let's break your mouth."

Rigel darted towards the Black Viper and used the Hand Of Midas to smash his jaw. The Black Viper hissed into pain when its jaw could not close.

Rigel stood in his mouth and extended his right hand.

"Creator Skill: imagination Creator!"

Rigel begins creating hundreds of bombs and inserts them into the mouth of the Black Viper and detonates them.

Duars!!

The black Viper's body expanded and shattered due to all the explosions within its body. The core belonging to the Black Viper was destroyed along with its body. Rigel turned his head towards Yuri who was facing the goblins.

"It looks like that one over there is done, too."

Yuri killed the last goblin with a single strike. He noticed Rigel's gaze and smiled, Rigel also returned Yuri's smile.

"Alright, let's see their work."

Rigel.

Yuri nodded and the two of them went together to where Cold and Yuri's party gathered all the remaining residents.
