According to Faria, after the battle with the Milius, the night opened and the night came again.

This means that today is September 20th.

A few days ago, I was also concerned about the situation of the central army that had defeated the enemy army and the north march that had reached Malware on the eighteenth, but what we should now know would be the status quo of the western march.

The damage caused by the Westward Army in earlier battles with the Zalwarn Army seems to have fallen far short of expectations. Still, there are more than a hundred dead. It couldn't have been an unharmed victory. It's also what I knew from the beginning.

Where Setuna waved the black spear and ravaged the enemy, not all of the battlefield could be ruled. The soldiers of their own army will attack the enemy in search of battle merit, and the enemy soldiers will also push towards us. If we collide, our enemies and allies have no choice but to wager their lives and death to fight. Everyone loses their lives easily. It cannot be a black spear, such as completely reducing allied damage. What you should think about is how to reduce the damage to your own army. To do this, the only way to do this would be to end the fight quickly. It's about using the power of a black spear to inflict a devastating blow on enemy forces. If the enemy can't keep up the front, that should reduce our damage.

To do this, Setuna needs to draw more, black spear power. Like Miliu.

"You've worked hard enough. Yeah, it's too much."

Though Faria said so, it was not a satisfactory outcome to Setuna in the end. Maybe it's an arrogant idea. I guess we shouldn't just think about ending the fight with the power of black spears, etc. I know that too. But that night, what Setuna felt from both hands was immense power. I don't think of enemies as enemies, immense power. In fact, that power ended that battle in the victory of the Westward Army. Success is not an exaggeration. That and this, because Setuna swung death on the battlefield by two black spears. Because I killed and went around depending on the allowance. Because I was interested in the slaughter play.

That's Setuna's mission.

Setuna and Faria were sitting back on the edge of the carriage carrier. Under the sky at night, the wind blowing through is strangely gentle. In front lies a plain, lined with countless carriages. midnight. I guess the number of soldiers walking is small, rather the ones resting in the carriage. The lack of a tent meant that the march would resume even as soon as the break was over.

Setuna slowly opened her mouth as she dropped her gaze on the ground in front of her. I immediately found the words I wanted to convey.

I was about to get killed.

In Setuna's head, that battle in the woods comes back. Miliu-Libaien. The armed summoner of Zalwarn who replicated the black spear with a mirror summoning weapon. Overwhelmed all the time. Pure difference in skill. Pure difference in strength. Muscle strength and body surgery were definitely better than hers. In time, I was shown the difference in power as an armed summoner. She was using the black spear more sparingly than Setuna.

I say you're not.

Setuna wanted to poison the dragon of her dreams. Whatever you think, Miliu was better at using it. Her rolling blow was heavy and fierce, even if it was taken by Setuna, who had the black spear in her hand. The slaughter not only cut down the trees, but also became a shock wave. Speed so fast you can't chase it off with your eyes. I had managed to take it with an unconscious reflex. Dangerous, dying.

"To Miliu-Lebien?

My neighbor Faria is staring at me as if she were peeking at this look. Setuna stared at the ground, feeling her gaze. It's more grass than ground. The grass that grows to the knees grows as if it fills the ground. They can't even be cared for, so I guess they can stretch all they want. It's like paradise for weeds.

"Yeah......"

Nod and extend your right arm to the tip of your chest. The pain runs like an electric current, but silently kills. I just had to put up with it more than it hurt to just breathe. Whatever you do or don't do, you have to feel painful. My whole body seemed to be crying out at last night's agony. I have no choice but to give up that it is more than using two black spears. At the same time, I don't think we should do that kind of imitation again.

The duplicity of black spears does seem to have gained absolute power. Five senses, enhanced more than usual, projected gracefully into the back of his brain, not only around him, but even to the sight of the far other side. The enlarged consciousness seemed to recognize everything on the battlefield, and the sharpened sensation even grasped every step of the general on the enemy's side. I even picked up the sound of my heart.

I realized that the sound disappeared and scattered my life.

The usual. If you ask me how it's different than usual, I won't be able to give you a clear answer. But Setsuna thought a single black spear was strong enough. If it's not enough, you just have to be a better user than Miliu. Right now, I haven't even been able to draw as much power as she does.

But you're alive.

"Miliu suddenly lost his mind. So I survived."

It was scary to put that fact into words. Because it's nothing more than to reveal that Setuna has betrayed everyone's expectations. All black spears require is victory. You must not defeat. Whatever enemy is the opponent, it must not be defeated. Even if the opponent is an armed summoner of great skill and has used black spear replication, it is unacceptable to lose.

Though it turned out to be survival, if Miliu hadn't lost his mind there, he would have definitely been killed. Death was imminent.

"You were..."

Faria, quietly, has spoken of things she doesn't even anticipate.

"Miliu was there. He said he was going to kill you. Let's just assume that if I kill you, I don't care what happens to the rest, her. Great... I hope you didn't get killed."

"... right. Yeah, you're right."

I was surprised that Faria was exchanging words with Miliu, but that wasn't the problem there. I guess we should be happy that she didn't have to be killed, like she said. I was able to pick up my life and lead the Westward Army to victory. The fact that Miliu overwhelmed me doesn't go away, but so what do you say? And I'm pretty sure it would be easier if I could reopen it.

Setuna peered into Faria's face. She looks up to the night sky. There was relief on the wounded side. Maybe he's happy Setuna survived. I'm glad, though, I don't know the truth.

So was her mood, but I was also concerned about her health. Saw her on the battlefield, she was full of creativity, and that wound couldn't have healed quickly. Is it okay to walk around?

"Is Faria okay now?

"I told you, I work out differently than you do."

"But it looks painful"

"I wouldn't deny it hurts, though."

Apparently Faria tried to laugh bitterly, but her face was distorted by the pain. After all, he's not recovering. I wish it were a magic wand to heal wounds, but apparently, no convenient summoning weapon exists that far.

When I first met her, it was Aurora Storm's ability that saved Setuna from her death. An arrow shot into Setuna, who was on the verge of death, said it had activated his vitality and healed even his burns. The Aurora Storm is not only capable of lightning strikes, but can also release arrows that heal wounds. At first glance, it seems convenient, but it's not easy to handle. The arrow, he said, will deprive life expectancy as a price to temporarily activate life force.

Setuna has also lost some life expectancy to resurrect from the abyss of death.

If left alone, it would heal. To heal wounds, shooting life-cutting arrows is not a sane shack. Besides, Faria won't be able to shoot an arrow at herself. I may not even have considered it.

Setuna stared at her scratchy face. Don't think the beauty on account is ruined, but if you speak of it, you could blaspheme her pride. Faria didn't want to get hurt, she fought through it. She also deserves to be a fierce man.

Then I wondered about him not being here. Ruufa Zenon-Bargazar, Deputy Director of "The Lion's Tail".

"Ruufa's safe, too, right?

"You're safe. I'm aware of that. But they can't even move for a while."

"Right..."

(Turns out)

Setuna narrowed her eyes to the accuracy of the information acquired by the duplicity of black spears. Again, the power of black spears is awesome. Even though there were two of them, they collect as much information as they can clearly portray in their heads about who they are far away from home. The sharpened five senses, the enlarged consciousness, had captured and recognized all the objects present around them. I also understood by that that Faria was scratched, and that's how I perceived Ruufa taking a deep hand.

We do not know what kind of battle Ruufa fought with the enemy armed summoner. but I remember the armor he was wearing was so destroyed that he didn't retain the prototype. He suffered countless wounds to his back and even grief. I wanted to treat you as soon as possible. But when it came to what Setuna could do, all she did was lead the western march back to victory before Ruufa and Faria came back on the front, reducing the burden on the two.

If Setsuna had the power, if she could draw the power of a black spear, she wouldn't have to hurt you both. At the very least, the name Setsuna the Black Spear would cry if Miliu couldn't use as much power as he could draw out. I also lose a lot of names.

(Gotta be strong)

Setuna held her fist and renewed her determination. We need to work out more physically and mentally. We also need to deepen our understanding of black spears. Perhaps we should try summoning him, other than in battle. Until now, I haven't really thought about how to use my powers. That is the predicament in the Battle of Milius. We need to take this more seriously.

Otherwise, I won't be able to forgive myself. Even my body in the Battle of Milius is disappointed in me. I didn't want to hate myself any more. Be strong. Body and mind. That way, you can get it back even with a breakdown like this one. That's how it's been going. Have we not repeatedly failed and succeeded and moved forward?

"Ruufa, you might want to have Bahandar back"

Faria came with a dark look. It's not dark because it's a shadow. It's a serious story, so I guess the expression gets tough too.

Setuna was concerned about Ruufa's condition. To observe from her mouth, she may be in an irrefutable condition when it comes to serious injuries.

"Is it that bad?

"He insists he's okay himself, but he knows he can't. Wounds are never shallow either. As far as I'm concerned, I think it would be better for him to focus on treatment in the rear..."

"How is Ruufa doing?

"He wants to accompany you to the Dragon House."

"Right."

Given Ruufa's character, it's a natural answer. He is about to be ashamed of the name of the Balghazar family. For the good of the Gandhian royal family, I am prepared not to hate death. Ruufa, at first glance, is a casual and well-connected young man, but deep down, he thinks of Gandhia more than anyone else. He's definitely the one in The Lion's Tail who loves the Royal Gandhian most.

It was Leongando Ray-Gandia, one of them, and not against the royal family, that Setuna pledged allegiance. It can be said, in other words, that it is to a raw human being named Leongand who can give his life, rather than the vague one called the Royal Family. And if your loyalty to King Leongand, Setuna is not going to lose either.

I didn't think that he would be convinced of the decision that it would be better to make Ryufu his present and back and focus on treatment.

Speaking of Dragon House, it's the capital of Zalwarn. If the war with Zalwarn were to be settled, it could be nothing but the fall of the Dragon House. It would be unbearable for a man like Ruufa not to be able to stand the end of a war that has been involved on the front lines since the beginning of the war. Even if you can't fight, it's the humans who want to join the line. Most of all, a royal fate would happily turn to Bahandar or even to the rear Recondahl.

"Want to talk to me in person? Maybe he's still awake."

"If there's no burden on Ruufa, I'd like to talk about it."

Setuna said, Faria smiled and nodded quietly. If he's asleep, you don't have to wake him up. but if you can't sleep, your conversation with Setuna could be ruined.

Regardless, Setuna is not going to see Ruufa for her spare time.

For Setsuna, Ruufa is also an important companion. He's not just in the position of "Lion's Tail" Deputy Director, he's in the position of a cheerful friend. Like Faria, she must be an indispensable figure in Setuna's daily routine.

I wanted to make sure he was safe with this eye.
