Armed Summoners - Black Spears and the Brave Men of the Other World

"Actually, I didn't see Quor for a long time. A while ago, yes... we were meeting during the Royal Palace dinner."

Faria told me that only after her mental state had settled. It was obvious that Faria had lost her cool since she had escaped Azmaria, although she had not been disturbed or cried out. To listen, it had to be after she regained some peace.

"In the middle of dinner? I had time for that......"

"I'm taking a break. I was the only one who left when everyone went to the holding room. At that time, I was actually acting differently to bring Quor out."

"What do you mean, call it out?

"I've been feeling my gaze. That's strange."

"So it was the Quor."

That's what I'm talking about.

Falia nodded to Miliu's words, explaining the whole thing to me. That Quor was chasing Faria in order to communicate the decision of the Mountain Protection Conference. The decision of the Mountain Protection Conference means removing Faria from the Azmarian crusade mission, and that if this order is not followed, Faria will lose her position in Lyohan. If you want to overturn this decision, you have to go back to Lyohan and go up to the Mountain Protection Conference. That then Faria will lose her position in Gandia.

Lyohan is in the central part of the continent, extremely far from Gandia. I hope it will take more than six months just to go and come back, given the amount of time you spend interacting with the Mountain Protection Conference, they don't even know if it will take about a year. In the first place, it is also opaque whether Faria's opinion passes at the Mountain Protection Conference for her return to Lyohan, and if her opinion does not, the significance of returning to Lyohan is dim.

However, there were reasons why Faria could not comply with the decision of the Mountain Protection Conference. That is something we have clearly figured out in earlier battles, and something that Setuna has been informed about for a long time. Azmaria-Altemax was my father's enemy to her. It is Phalia's sorrow to defeat Azmaria, who murdered her father Mericus-Aslalia, for which she volunteered for the Azmaria Crusade mission and came as far as Gandia.

Yet the Mountain Protection Conference took her off the crusade mission. And they forbade even fighting Azmaria. If we take action, that's all the Mountain Protection Council is gonna cut her off. To a truly ridiculous decision, Miliu seemed outraged and unable to say anything about Ruufa or anything.

Setsuna felt the same way.

The Azmarian crusade is a memorial to Lyohan and the Continental Summoners Association. It was ten years ago that Azmaria-Altemax, the original and venerable subject of armed summoning, suddenly betrayed Lyohan. The devil-like work that turned the whole of Lyohan into a battlefield not only moved Lyohan, but also the Continental Summoners Association. The Azmarian Crusade Order was activated.

Crusading demons across continents is not something to be prepared for. First of all, I'm glad to say that it's impossible to identify where you are. Appear anywhere, disappear from anywhere. That was Azmaria-Altemax, her ability to summon armed gates of Vermillion.

Then I wonder if what I encountered with Azmaria should be discussed.

Isn't it a missed opportunity to only be allowed to fight what has been given a mandate?

When Setuna and the others mentioned it, Faria grinned sadly.

"It's not. The Mountain Protection Council doesn't want me to kill your mother."

Then she touched on the relationship between Miriam-Aslaria and Azmaria-Altemax.

Miriam-Aslaria is the fruitful mother of Falia. Miriam herself, as Lyohan's goddess of war, is the daughter of the great summoner Fariah-Baldish, bound to Mericus-Aslalia and born in Faria. Miriam, who received the incense of Faria-Baldish, an armed summoner at dawn, was the leading armed summoner of the time, Lyohan, along with Merricks, who was an apprentice of Azmaria.

Falia said she was proud to have been born as such two daughters and that one day it was her dream to become an armed summoner like both of them.

As Quor had said, a private school of armed summoning known as the Aslarian Classroom - it would be like - was opened by Merricks and Miriam, and Falia, in that classroom, was handled by her parents in the art. They had a lot to teach her outside of the classroom, but that's because she was born in a special position.

Faria is given the same name as her grandmother Faria-Valdish.

It was the very fate with which she would one day assume the role of Farya-Valdish, and moreover it seemed close to the generality of the inhabitants of Lyohan.

Lyohan, with his spiritual pillar of the Great Summoner Fariah-Baldish, is able to earn his independence and self-esteem in Vashtaria.

Vashtaria. It is a religion that worships Vashtaria, the only god, and it is about a community of life that revolves around its doctrine. It is ruling the northern part of the Wargrain continent and, together with the Kingdom of the Holy Deal and the Zaion Empire, is the corner of the three major forces. Lyohan was like a lonely island floating in the Vashtarian sphere of power.

It may have been only natural that Lyohan was able to gain autonomy as a result of the bloodshed of armed summoners, mainly in Farya-Baldish, and that Farya-Baldish, who left the name of the goddess of war in that battle, became the spiritual backbone of Lyohan since then.

In other words, for Lyohan's people, the name Faria was special, and Faria was determined as much as possible to be the next generation of Faria.

If you don't want her to carry the cause of parent-killing like that, it would be a foolish question not to have given her a mandate from the beginning.

Merricks was killed by Azmaria, and Miria was made Azmaria's subordinate.

The decision that she should settle herself to pay for the misfortunes of the House of Aslaria worked was the first. Probably, though.

It was this time that it covered up, and Faria was probably up to today because she was not sure what to do about Lyohan's decision.

"After all, it's called Azmaria. I can't figure out how to make Faria's mother her own body or her mother showing up. At last, you call me Leviathan."

Faria exhaled loudly as she looked sideways at the breathtaking Milyu, etc. next time she saw him.

"I don't even know what the hell Azmaria is. Because something I don't know. I can't explain or explain what I don't know in the way I know it. If there's only one thing you can say, Azmaria did make your mother's body her own."

It reminds me of demon limbs such as bright red hair, golden eyes, and clear white skin that instantly change into something else's. The blue-haired and emerald green eyes of the woman who appeared at that time resembled Faria very much.

"I saw it then. Definitely. There was light coming from Azmaria's body, and when I realized it, a strange woman was crumbling where Azmaria stood. Then my mother, who was supposed to have sheltered me, was Azmaria."

"Was...?

"You don't know, do you? Even I didn't know what happened. Azmaria was there. That this flesh is by far the best. A flesh forged as an armed summoner, naturally."

I wonder why Faria went sarcastic. In Setuna's imagination, there was something immeasurable.

"Then my grandmother taught me. Azmaria has walked hundreds of years by taking over the lives of others…"

"Hundreds of years..."

"Who the hell are you..."

When Setuna went out of line with Miliu, Faria looked sad.

"I don't know either. I don't know."

Azmaria used to refer to herself as a human being, but there's no way she can do that, such as calling it a human being, who has survived a long time by taking over someone else's body. Moreover, they can freely transform the appearance of the flesh they have taken over. I don't think it's a human trick.

It was the moment when the vague distrust of Azmaria in Setuna turned into something strong.
