The Legends Of Creator Hero
The piece is incomplete

Rigel, Moris, Leo and Garfiel return to the same inn to discuss a few things. Marionette's match was over, followed by everyone giving up instantly by handing over the precious baranh before facing her. In this way, the zone A fighter has been determined on the easy victory of Marionette.

"That was a great fight, at the same time terrible." Moris muttered, a little scared.

"Yes, even to the end he did not move a little from where he stood." Said Leo, putting his sword on the edge of the room.

"I was more surprised by Alexander."

Rigel's like-minded with Garfiel. While Alexander was unconscious from the Mana explosion, Marionette did something that no one expected. Let's go back a few minutes before Rigel gets to the inn...

"Good, good, not good, certainly good, maybe good, could be good, because it might be good! As a pig-man you are different, quite different, not different, certainly different... As a lowly pig-man, I will give you a little kindness, hahaha!"

Staring at Marionette's true nature, the spectators began to get frightened, some were about to leave the arena and some began to whisper.

"H-hey, didn't he promise the landlord not to kill anyone?"

"Looks not... The damsel's proof is dead...!!"

Marionette glanced at those whispering people, letting out a crazy evil smile.

"Who said I killed? He didn't die, just lost his life as a result of the Mana explosion, so it wasn't my fault when he died. Besides that..."

Marionette took out a doll that looked like a witch doll and stabbed a nail into her heart, making Alexander regain consciousness, but a difference was apparent.

"I, at your service, the beautiful Miss Marionette, willing to be the babysithe lord Lucifer the great..." Alexander knelt at Marionette's feet, like an obedient doll to his old age.

"Hehe, hehehe... Good, good, not good, certainly good, maybe good, could be good, because it might be good! Your words absorb into my chest. You humans are supposed to be loyal pigs, Lord Lucifer. From the beginning you were just pigs and pigs had to obey whatever their old orders... As you pigs see, this pig is alive and now my servant!"

He is not wrong, but Alexander is not really alive, he is only given the same natural magic that moves the dolls.

Surely he didn't break his contract or anything, other than that. If he only sent dolls, he had an alibi that his dolls were killing people and not himself. Return to Rigel who is in the inn.

"Marionette controller doll, yes. I think his nickname does match his abilities and his strength is not much different from my Necromancer."

"Without him, I'm more interested in your Necromancer abilities. It's the first time I've seen something like that and it's quite scary."

Garfiel still seems to be trying to figure out how powerful Rigel really is. It's only natural that he doesn't know anything about Rigel's identity, because to keep his identity safe. Well, although it wouldn't be useful if Moris was a traitor or something. But that worry is unnecessary, because no one is stupid enough to betray the Hero.

"This ability is nothing special. You'll find out soon as the time comes. For now, ignorance is salvation."

There was no point in talking about a meaningless thing like a Necromancer. Even if he finds something about that power, Rigel remains difficult to defeat. Because the Necromancer was only one of the great Skills one possessed.

"From that, we better talk about Marionette's abilities. Moris, I want you to leave this place because information security is necessary."

"alright. Then I'll go outside while I look for information that might be interesting."

Moris steps out and leaves Rigel, Garfiel and Leo in a moment's silence. Garfiel still did not understand Moris' actions. He had always thought that Matsu and Leo were his slaves, but it looked the opposite.

"Regarding Marionette's ability, it's good that I explain what you don't see with your eyes."

Garfiel and Leo quietly listened and sat on the floor, while Rigel sat on the bed like a leader.

"The thing that you cannot see is the power that controls the puppets. The puppets seemed to be controlled by the threads of Mana that came from nature, in short the power of fairies."

"The power of fairies?" Leo muttered with obvious confusion on his face.

"Yes. In general, fairies borrow power from the earth to create magic. Although it looks not much different from ordinary Mana, but the attack power produced is very different. In addition, the use of natural Mana is much more advantageous because it does not cause fatigue will run out of Mana."

One of the things that makes Rigel so comfortable using natural Mana is that it does not cause excessive fatigue. In contrast to using Mana in the body that has many weaknesses. It starts with physical exhaustion and eventually life.

"I understood until there. But what does the power of the fairies have to do with the demon pillars of Marionette?"

"With nature's Mana as the energy supply to keep her doll alive, Marionette can fight using her doll without the slightest fatigue. Moreover, it was uncertain how many puppets could be controlled. It would be much safer that we assume he can control over a thousand dolls."

"Thousand? Isn't that too much?" Garfiel mumbled softly.

It's not a small amount for someone like Garfiel, but it's too little for Rigel. Since Marionette bore the name of the demon pillar, there was a chance that she had some things so terrifying up her sleeve.

"For me it is too little, but it is better to assume that a thousand is the least. Returning to the topic, in view of Alexander's previous events, not only was he a puppet, but he could also control humans on certain terms."

The conditions cannot be ascertained, whether it must be death or touch a certain part, but it seems that the latter is the answer.

"If he can do that, then why doesn't he kill the landlord and take his entire top prize while controlling the landlord from behind the scenes?"

Surely what Leo thought had been thought of by Rigel. If Rigel had been in Marionette's position, he would have done the right thing Leo said and controlled the landowners without exposing them. But in reality, Marionette even revealed his existence with Dantasam had been binding contract not to kill.

Surely there was a possibility that he had indeed done so and that something about the contract was just a lie made up by him.

Could it be the reason for revealing himself to play around with the fighters here, or to lure the Hero in? Well, any of that doesn't matter. I'll destroy all the plans he has.

"If he can indeed control people on certain conditions, then what kind of conditions are needed to do it?" Garfiel asked, since he was not very good at thinking, asking was the solution.

"Well, unfortunately we can't investigate further, because other than Alexander, the fighters in zone A chose to surrender without a fight."

"About her form of a little girl, is it just a mere doll or is it her real body?" Leo asked exactly what Rigel was worried about.

"... I'm not sure myself. On the one hand it is indeed a puppet, but on the other hand it looks like real, such as behavior, speech and movements. If it was a puppet, it would be impossible for such a thing to materialize."

What strengthened the alibi about the little girl being her real body was the absence of magic threads controlling her. But on the other side of his body was clearly just a mere wooden puppet.

Something feels out of place. There is a puzzle piece that seems to hide itself. He seemed to miss something that might be a mystery behind Marionette's body.

The possibility that can be thought of is Marionette controlling her doll from a certain place that is not too far from the location of her doll or there is a certain trick that makes the thread on the little girl doll previously invisible.

"Well, right now there's no need for us to worry about controlling the doll. All you need to learn right now is how to stop the doll. Guess what kind of thing can stop that doll."

Neski's answer is already very clear from Alexander's fight, but at least Rigel wants to test Garfiel and Leo. In battle not only dexterity, but observation is also necessary and very important.

"I suck at brains, so I give up."

Without even trying a single bit, Garfiel raised both hands and surrendered willingly. Well, fools will still be fools because they can't be any more stupid. On the other hand, Leo seems to be thinking seriously, about how to defeat Marionette dolls.

"If the puppets are moved with an invisible mana like a thread puppet, then what needs to be done to stop it... Is it possible to cut its thread which is the source of the driving energy?"

"really so. To stop the Marionette doll, we don't have to bother to destroy the doll, but simply cut off its energy supply."

Rigel was not surprised by Leo understanding so quickly. After all Leo learned to access Ciel at an unreasonable speed. It is not surprising that he can memorize 200 pages in one day.

"There really is a way for us to cut something we can't see?" Garfiel asked.

Rigel smiled, "Of course there is," and began to take something out of his storage, "With a magic sword or anything that has magic can cut the threads that control the puppet. Well, of course it will be difficult to find the exact location of the thread because you can not see it. But take it easy, I have some tricks that can help you guys, so there's no need to worry."

Rather than being called a trick, it may be better called help. If it came to the power of fairies, then only one person would she ask for help from him.

Rigel got up from the bed, stood looking at him Leo and Garfiel until he finally went towards the door.

"I'm gonna do some about something I'm doing. Most likely I will be back at night or not at all, so there is no need to look for me. As long as I'm gone, do what you want to do but don't make trouble. Then, Leo... Remember to keep quiet."

"Yes, I understand." said Leo.

Confirming Leo's reply, Rigel closed the door and along with it teleported to the Spirit Forest, where Sylph was. The goal is not just to ask for a little help, but something related to Priscilla, which until now has not been known to exist.

Once in the forest, he is led by a small amibent spirit who takes him to where Sylph is. The Spirit Forest did not undergo any special changes, only, the little elf that was found looked less than usual.

"Hero Rigel... You came at the right time. There are some things I want to tell you directly."

As soon as Rigel noticed it approaching, Sylph turned around and went straight unceremoniously straight to the main point.

"Did something happen? As far as I can see there are fewer fairies in this forest than usual."

"Well, it's because I deployed them to search for Priscilla's tracks and because of that, I found something unexpected."

Rigel narrowed his eyes and judging from the atmosphere, this conversation must have concerned Priscilla's whereabouts.

"Tell me in detail."

"Yes... I found some traces of Mana left behind in the border forest and I was very sure that Mana belonged to Priscilla."

Does that mean he's okay? Or at least, the fact that he is alive is worthy of gratitude. It depends on which border Priscilla's mana trail is found. Maybe Rigel will deploy enough people looking in one focused place.

"However, it's not just the trail... I also found another trace completely unrelated to Priscilla."

"other trail? Could it be Lucifer or something from the devil?!"

He must have been impatient. If it's Lucifer or his minions, then there's no apology for them and no reason not to eliminate the demons even before the war comes. But judging from Sylph's expression, it seemed that it was not one of the demon's side, but rather a completely unknown opponent.

"If it's from the devil, I'll figure it out right away... But in this case, the devil has absolutely nothing to do with it. Where else is left behind is not something as disgusting as the devil's, but something that brings terrible peace, as if that peace makes one sincerely accept death."

Rigel did not understand the meaning, he never understood the feeling Sylph felt through the mana of a person.

"What is it like? Can you not be so convoluted or I'll explode and strangle you for being impatient."

"Alright, next time I'll be careful... Regarding the element, the Mana has the attribute of the sacred element."

Again something that is beyond comprehension and estimation. If judging from Sylph's understanding of the calming and antonym Mana of the Devil...

If he had to think outside his head, a completely unrelated figure appeared in his head. Not only him, but Sylph had the same conclusion.

"No, no, no. It should not exist in this world before its time... In any case, this mysterious enemy will become troublesome because it is unknown who and what he is. Moreover, there was a good thing in Darkness called the book of knowledge... Most likely, the book also kept records of what had just happened, such as the events of Priscilla or this new enemy. For that matter, I want you to extend your hand for some things."

Instead of thinking of a figure that could not exist in this world... Rigel and Sylph try to shift their thinking and hope that the Book of Knowledge becomes the solution.

"Let's listen..."
