The sky was clear.

As the thunderstorm at the time of the border crossing is a lie, the sun continues to shine day after day. The blue sky just feels good as far as I can see, and the flowing clouds seem to be swimming comfortably. Direct sunlight is just hot, but even that feels refreshing, probably because of the wind.

He is swimming over the far reaches of Bahandar.

When swimming in the sky, he sometimes doesn't know what he is.

As he spreads his wings and leaves himself to the flow of the atmosphere, his consciousness melts into the sky and mixes with the clouds. I am attacked by the illusion that it has become the sky itself, and when I accept it, I will not be able to undo it for a while. Sometimes, when it was terrible, I kept soaking up the sky for about half a day. In that case, the spirit drains away and finally reclaims reality, but it is a scary place to lose your life, depending on altitude.

The spirit that emerges from the container of the soul called flesh fulfils its assimilation with nature as it wishes. But it's an illusion. He continued to be him at all times, and there was nothing like a soul freeing its flesh.

Should it be called a side effect of wearing a subpoena weapon?

Armed summoners face the phenomenon of hypertrophy of senses when they have a summoning arm. It means that the Summoning Army reinforces the Five Senses, which leads to the Armed Summoner having superhuman power.

Normally, the shape of a subpoena is similar to a common weapon. I can see that Setuna's chaos bringer was a pitch-black spear, as the black spear alias, and that Faria's Aurora Storm was an alien but bow-conscious armed. Bordering a weapon is as good as a hand or arm.

But his subpoena weapon was somewhat different from a common weapon.

It is a pure white cloak. It is a design that is not otherwise strange even if it is usually worn, and it was sometimes summoned and worn without meaning. Most importantly, pointless summonses only drain the spirit in vain.

The cloak covered his entire body. It was not an exaggeration to say that most of the surface area of the flesh touches the subpoena armed, and it was therefore his division's guess that hypertrophy of the senses would cause a runoff. Of course, I'm not naked under my cape, but it was the same thing when I tried to wrap it around my clothes, from the top of my armor.

The fact that consciousness melts in the sky has also been a problem since my training days.

Nevertheless, in the last few months, I have never swam in the sky so loosely that my consciousness dissolved in the sky. That and this is because his fate has been radically changed by his encounter with Setuna-Kamiya.

The encounter at Gandion was in the midst of Setuna's battle with the Imperial Devil. Thanks also to that encounter, he was able to serve the Gandhian royal family. Joy was greater than surprise that what I had dreamed of for a long time had come true in an instant. I want to help the royal family. He was born into the Balghazar family, and that's all he had. That's all I learned armed summons and worked myself out. Regardless, I wasn't just training, I was just looking at the opportunity for a comic officer. He has worked for his father, who is a general, and he has insisted on his strength as an armed summoner to his brother, who is qualified to go directly to the king as a knight. But those didn't work. Naturally. Even though he is a Balghazar, he has not yet done anything. So he waited. I kept waiting for the opportunity to come. When the battle broke out, he took part on his own initiative and tried to show off his strength. but the opportunity came sooner than I thought, and the clerk decided on a ton of applause.

It is still remembered that the first order given in the king's name was to disguise himself as Setuna-Kamiya. First assignment. I can say I can't forget.

Setuna infiltrated Logner and developed into a war. He, along with Faria-Belfaria, had hit the defense of mainland Gandhia, but not even a small battle. There was no turnout, but for some reason it became a matter of being evaluated and being assigned a Royal Palace Summoner (Zenon). And he was appointed vice president of the Royal SS, The Lion's Tail, and will remain so.

Ruufa Zenon-Bargazar flipped his wings, so much so that he enjoyed assimilation with the sky. While spreading the silphide feather and riding the wind stream, his body nearly went north through Bahandar and passed over the wetlands as well. One thin street can be seen in the blue wetlands. The wetlands were shining reflecting sunlight, as if numerous water hoarders were claiming themselves. It must be hard to tread on foot, but it has nothing to do with Ruufa being able to fly through the air.

Stay in the wind and continue north.

September 19th.

Four days have passed since Bahandar's reign. In the last four days, Bahandar has been at peace itself. Many of Bahandar's citizens were cooperative and friendly towards the Gandhian army. There was even something to thank for destroying the Zalwarne army, and many publicly stated that they would spare no cooperation. Of course, most of the Zarwanese living in Bahandar did not hide their hostility against the Gandian army. There seemed to be a little twitch. but it seems that the control of the Logner military by Astal-Lanadies was somewhat more solemn than the control of the Gandhian army by Leongando, and there was nothing like the soldiers going on and causing problems. It was an exemplary army, even a Dorca force that was usually full of them, and it was serious in itself.

Rather, Ruufa did not even think that "The Lion's Tail" was more loose. The captain is invisible, immersed in routine training, and the assistant captain is just distracted by such a captain's condition beside doing his chores as usual. No, I'm doing my job, so there's nothing wrong with it. Captain Lion's Tail's job is to exert his power on the battlefield, and it's not a bad thing to punch into training for that. Besides, keeping track of the captain's health must have been an important task for the assistant captain.

And Ruufa, the deputy chief, was set to fly around Bahandar, also thanks to the ability of this silfed feather. It would be nice to have a job and be needed. Besides, they are also given adequate breaks. The meal is delicious. There's nothing wrong with that.

(Yeah, nothing wrong)

For some reason I could see it seeping in front of me, but it must be my fault.

Ruufa was now attempting to conduct a hostile inspection at the request of the third regiment leader of the army, Ayn-Rajar, on the Logner side. There have been reports of enemy troops forming formations in the north of Bahandar, near Reuben, and it was Ayn's idea that he should look into them not only from the ground, but also from above to learn more. Ein is the kind of boy who suggested a setuna drop operation. Once again, I was anxious to plan a hell of an operation, but I could safely undertake a hostile inspection alone. You don't have to fight. All you have to do is check the formation of the enemy forces from above, which the enemy will not find.

If there is an enemy attack, that would mean that the enemy forces have an armed summoner. Ruufa is flying at an altitude that can't even be seen by humans on earth. Ruufa has obtained more enhanced vision than usual by the sensory enhancement of the summoning arm. In the same way you can see this one, it's as good as an armed summoner.

Even in that sense, it was valid for Ruufa to hear the enemy formation from above. The manner in which they fight also changes dramatically, as opposed to the absence of an armed summoner in the enemy forces. Armed summoners are a powerful weapon. Leaving it alone can mean that the troops are half-baked. There's nothing more to an armed summoner than to hit it with an armed summoner, and you can't let it go wild.

(If the enemy had an armed summoner and the summoner was armed, but)

Even if the enemy forces had an armed summoner, if they hadn't summoned him, they wouldn't be able to see this one. An armed summoner should not always be armed with a summons and should be seen as far less likely to be summoning.

The purpose of the hostile inspection is not to ascertain the presence or absence of an armed summoner.

Fly to follow the street and reach over the point where the road is divided in two hands. It's less than half a day from Bahandar. Nevertheless, the streets of Bahandar are narrow and it will take half a day for all troops to gather momentum, though. At the time of the march, unlike at the time of the invasion of Bahandar, there is no need to take the means to proceed through the wetlands, so it should be time consuming to continue down the street. You don't have to soak yourself in mud on purpose to get dirty, or get your feet taken off by a mud and fall over.

If you continue west on the branch, there is Reuben, and if you proceed east, you will reach Fort Vridia. The next destination for the western march is not Vlidia, but Fort Bünell, which will mean taking the branch road east and further north. There is not a difficult terrain to march on, and there will be no problem with the journey to Fort Beaunel.

Eventually, I saw a black crowd. It seems very unlikely to be a group of travellers, merchants, etc. The sunlight reflects because they are wearing armor. You must be wary of enemy attacks in the heat. You can't even make it if you're wearing it after you discover the enemy shadow.

A group of armor is not the only thing in Ruufa's eyes. Behind that group were countless tents, large and small. There's no way you can peek from above to see what's going on inside of it.

It was obvious that it was an army.

The army is deployed on a plain stretching north of the branch. The Gandian army that took control of Bahandar is probably in anticipation of marching north. The total number of soldiers building fan-shaped formations is not exactly known, but there are definitely more than a thousand to a thousand and five hundred. Given the fact that the number of Dragon Scale troops mobilized is higher than the number of Dragon Scale troops mobilized, it may not be just Reuben's Dragon Scale army.

The western march seems superior in terms of force, but overconfidence is forbidden. I don't even know where the trap is lurking.

Drop altitude and swirl to circle large, but no response to enemy formation. No one seems to have been summoned to arms by the enemy forces. That's the hard part about not leading to the presence or absence of an armed summoner, but we just have to give up what we can see from the sky and other things to that extent.

Ruufa, as he raised his altitude again, also looked over the surrounding terrain. Spread beyond the wetlands is a plain as far as you can see. There is a city of Reuben in the west, with mountains visible in the distance. Beyond that mountain along the border would be the squid.

Return the gaze to the branch. As you move your gaze along the road to the east, you can see the forest stretching along the streets. This is the forest Ein was in. He wants to lure some of the enemy troops in there. Ruufa was summoned to him in the middle of working out a tactic for it, apparently. If we're going to lure him, we'll have to use it.

(Delicious bait, huh)

Ruufa flipped his wings, thinking Ein's next tactic must also be something he won't be relieved of. We must return to Bahandar.

It wasn't a bird.

Zain-Vridia slept on her back on the meadow, looking at the blue sky. Watching the sunny sky is not a pain. Because you don't have to think about it. I don't even care about the slightest human being, or about this world, or about living. What a refreshing feeling when I said I was just enjoying the wind flow, the cloud movement, the sunlight, and them. I felt like I couldn't think of it when I was in Dinobot Cave. If I could even sing in my nose, maybe I'd be even more comfortable.

I guess I can think of that during the break between self-training because this is the ground. Not the hell of the earth, but on the earth. Under the sun, a world where living and living songs of life. It is not hell that the dragons who are fascinated by death take their lives together.

Zain stared closely at that troubled face as he held the puppy with both hands, which at some point crawled up over his belly. It's the dog I met in Reuben. I played with him in my spare time, but at some point I missed him. I don't try to leave for a moment, so I have no choice but to take him with me.

Naturally, Miliu and Crude, commanders of this army, have clearance. It was two people who didn't know what they were thinking, but Zain, I don't hate them anything else. Probably because it smells the same. The smell of blood that can't be wiped off no matter how much you wash it. You can call it the smell of death. You killed your friends, your people, your blood relatives.

To survive, to survive, to survive.

There are as many excuses as there are.

But it doesn't cover up the fact that I've killed him. That's why Zain also knew he was broken. I couldn't bear the fact that I'd been killing him. Not that it was delicate. It wasn't nice, either. I guess he was just a normal person.

Sometimes I almost put my sister in my hands. I've killed relatives without a relationship. Even my sister could be a target. And my sister, too, tried to kill him. Surviving each other is just a coincidence.

The sister is dead.

That's what Miliu and Crude were talking about. The two of them had nothing to say to him. I guess I cared. The two of them were oddly kind to Zain. Probably because I'm the most broken, he was convinced. I don't get angry. I think it's a natural procedure. Instead, you should just thank me for keeping you alive.

The death of my sister Fay-Vridia was normally accepted. It's not something I've been prepared for since I was relative in Dinobot Cave. It's just the difference between dying in Dinobot Cave or dying on the battlefield. If he died on the battlefield, wouldn't it have been a better end than dying in Dinobot Cave? I didn't feel anything in particular for myself thinking that way. Recognize, like other personnel, that humanity is probably being lost.

Zain stroked that back as he put the puppy back on his belly. Return your gaze to the sky and think about the shadow you just saw. Shadows flying far above. It wasn't a bird.

I have confidence in my vision.

(You had wings)

There were white, shining wings, and they had limbs. He looked like a human being and was flying across this Reuben plain.

It's like an angel.

(Angel...?)

Crushed all over his chest, he smiled bitterly.

Vashtalia would have enough to rot about that hand. But there can't be angel sightings or anything like that here in Zalwarn.

Zalwarn is the land of dragons. The country name Zalwarn is also taken from the legendary name of the dragon. The legacy that Zalwarn is a land pioneered by dragons and that the Pendragons are descendants of what was entrusted to Zalwarn to govern the country is still being told. He said that it was due to its beginnings that he did not call it a king, but a lord of the Pendragon clan would receive the lord of the country in order.

A country colored with myths and heritage surrounded by dragons. Long ago, before the continent was united, the fantasy of continuous cotton was known to everyone if it was born in Zalwarn. But many humans would just keep it on the edge of memory as a gaga story. Same as Zain. The story that this land was pioneered by dragons is not believable at all. Anything but to justify the rule of the Pendragon clan.

The Vashtarian god must be like that too. There is no such thing as confirmation of God's existence. If there is a God in heaven and the use of God is real, he would have destroyed an evil country called Zalwarn. All the Dragon Caves must have wiped us out of this earth.

But Zalwarn is not doomed, and he is alive, too.

(There is no God in this world)

Zain had certainty. With God, there couldn't have been any impurities like Dinobot Cave. Zalwarn should have been convicted and destroyed.

So what the hell is this angel you just saw?

I stare into the sky as I stroke a puppy round my belly.

"Enemy…?"

For him, everything was just like his enemies, except Miliu and Crude.

Embracing the puppy, Zayne woke up her upper body. Stand up.

I have to tell you both.
