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

Episode One Thousand Thirty-six: Festival of the Fool (V)

After I finished telling him everything, Reserg exhaled heavily. Exhale and lay the remains of Queen Celis on the floor. The blood that runs from the wound of the palm never shows signs of stopping. Pierced. It is not a wound that can easily be blocked. If we don't stop the bleeding, we're in big trouble.

(No...)

Setuna stared at the blue reserg's face and noticed that her life was beginning to lose from her eyes. I'm bleeding too much. If you keep bleeding like this, won't Reserg be dead? I have that fear, but there was nothing to try to rush over to Reserg for allowances. I'm in the middle of something important. You can't even get close.

Then I see Sheila. From Setuna's side, I could only see her back, but that back seemed even smaller than just now. I was shaking slightly. Maybe he's crying. I tried to rush over, but I thought it was futile and stopped. There's nothing Setuna can do in this situation. I could say that the only thing Setuna could do was to be vigilant about keeping the Knights Knight's cross spears out of it.

"Father... what the hell am I supposed to do...?

"I wonder what you mean, like that"

"I don't know anything. I can't see anything. I am here because I wanted to see my mother and hear the truth. That's just it, I'm here. I am not going to be a queen. That's what Gandhia is saying on her own. You are not going to obey me."

"I used it to come here, or... hehe, that's my daughter"

"Besides, there wasn't any."

"But it seems that its strength was. Dazzling, loving. The fact that the people of the whole country deserve a king is also a nod."

"Until your father, what do you mean?"

"Yes, I am."

The voice was heard from behind the throne room. They didn't have only one entrance or exit. The shoe sounds silent, there is one man, representing himself. It's a grey-haired man. Gray hair until stunning is hard to tell if it is due to old age, but probably not. I guess it's gray hair as proof of the blood muscles of the Aberd royal family.

"What is it that they say? Brother."

"Iseld...... why are you here?

"Uncle..."

Reactions between Reserg and Sheila showed that the old man was Iseld, the father of Prince Sayle. If you look closely, he looked a lot like Reserg. Needless to say, the shadow fighters I've seen in the arena are more similar, but if you make Reserg a little younger, maybe he'll look just like Iserd.

Iseld glanced at this one as he approached the location of Reserg and Sheila. Then, I turn my gaze towards Sheila again. The serene expression is not familiar with this situation.

"Long time no see, Your Highness Princess Sheila. Your work in the Kruselk war, we hear it. That's right. Sometimes I just get caught up with a beast princess. But there's also a big difference between coming to the umbrella and reviving the right to inherit the throne."

"What...?

Iseld, Sheila...

"No, you can't. Don't be fooled."

When Iseld's upper body moved, Setuna reacted aggressively, but lost it late. It was faster for Setuna to break in between Reserg and Iserd, put the right hand forward, which Iserd was doing behind him, and pull the trigger slightly faster. The distance was too far away.

The arrow released from the bow gun is instantly pierced into Reserg's belly. Iserd may have packed his distance from Reserg so he wouldn't get in the way.

"Father!?

"You..."

"Her Royal Highness Princess Sheila was sold this country. It was sold to a big country called Gandhia. You traitor. I'm not tired of messing up this country, I'm serious about selling it and ravaging it."

"Father, Father...!

As Sheila's sad screams echoed, Setuna watched Iseld load the bow gun with arrows. Familiar behavior is proof that he is used to bow guns. When he loaded the bow gun with arrows, he accidentally looked at the bow gun and pointed the bow gun at Reserg again. I feel a clear intention to kill.

but no subsequent shooting will reach Reserg. Setsuna stands between them. Setuna isn't the only one. Sid also stood in a position to pair with Setuna. He also reacted to Iseld's intention to kill, and I guess he moved. It is only natural that Benoagard should try to protect the King's life more than he has sent the Knights at Abad's request. But there was a distance. No matter how fast Sid was, he couldn't stop the bow gun arrow.

At a glance, the earlier arrow had been stabbed deeply in the abdomen of Reserg. It's fatal. We have to make allowance quickly. But the soldiers in the vicinity between the thrones never try to move.

"Besides, I can't imagine assassinating His Majesty to deceive and destroy him."

"Iseld... you..."

"... if you lose here, if you end here, my hardship is the bubble of water. No, I'm not the only one. Her Royal Highness Queen Celis' long-standing anguish is also determined, in all things, not to have been. You can't give up on that."

"Sellis' agony...!

"On my brother, I don't know. There is no way that you can understand our afflictions, except that they are swept back on the throne. You don't understand how much pain I or Master Sellis have suffered."

"Iseld......!

"I must hold a woman who is not even my beloved wife. A man who is not even my beloved husband must hold me. The paradox of working infidelity for love. He deceived himself, deceived, falsified, tormented, hurt, distressed - and still said he had finally gotten this far through it all. Sayle said he was a little closer to being an adult."

Iseld's expulsion seemed to be marked by various emotions. That is the kind of complex thoughts that cannot be said in a word, which is obvious when you look at those hands. The hand that shot Reserg was trembling. He shot a man who was a king and a real brother. It's impossible to tremble.

"Your Majesty... No, my brother. If you still love Master Sellis from the bottom of your heart, please die like this. I'll take care of Sheila, the traitor who killed you. If Sheila dies, Gandia will have to leave, too, won't she? If Gandhia retreats, I don't care what happens."

"That was..."

"Making Sail inherit the throne. That must have been your brother's own grief. The aim was thereby to free Sheila from the curse of prince. Me and Lady Sellis suffered for it, but that's fine. It's for the family. I can stand it, but I can't take this situation."

"Iseld......"

"Sheila. If you think it's for your country too, die. Dead, and that's it."

"Ridiculous."

"Ridiculous...? It's ridiculous indeed."

Iseld laughed out loud when he rebuffed Liseld's words. Laughing, he put up the bow gun he had set up and turned his back on this one. Head to the throne.

"Anything, it's ridiculous"

His dry voice echoes between the wide thrones.

"Isn't that right? It was ridiculous from the start. If you hadn't invaded your stupid mistakes, if you hadn't been imprisoned for your stupid paranoia, from the beginning, if you had raised Sheila as a princess, this couldn't have happened!

"... sorry"

"Ha... I don't have trouble being done with words like that. I have dedicated my life to this country. I don't know, something like losing my country."

Iseld, who reached the throne, laid flat back on the throne. Maybe the legged posture fits because Iseld is royal.

"So you and Sheila will die here."

Iseld, sitting on the throne, rang his fingers. As he rang his fingers, not more than a hundred soldiers came into an avalanche from the back between the thrones and waited behind Iserd. All the soldiers were heavily armed. Each with a bow. Less than a hundred people. But not Setuna's opponent, but if arrows are unleashed simultaneously, it's not easy to shoot everything down.

So Setuna learned the feeling of falling to her heart.

The soldiers, in the back between the thrones, waited until Iserd's signal was given. This means that the soldiers of the Royal Palace were likely to have been held by Iserd, and would it also lead to the reason why Liserg did not come into the throne room as one, either when he sustained a hand wound or when Sellis self-determination?

But when I found out that, the situation hasn't changed a thing.

Sheila won't let me kill her.

"What happens when you don't kill? Isn't that right, Sheila?

"Huh...?

Setsuna, as a, looked back behind her. Sheila's mental state is at stake, as we knew from the beginning. It is not hard to imagine that a series of events since entering the Throne Room would be further hunting her down. It was no wonder Sheila tried to kill herself from scratch, and if she did, could even Ragna stop her? Ragna's magic power is said to be scarce. Can you stop her Heart of Beast with less magic? No, whether Ragna will stop Syrah from self-determination.

Look back, relieve.

Sheila hasn't even tried to make self-determination. It just supported the body of the collapsed reserg. I hold my father's body, and he looks like he's discussing something.

Arrows and hand wounds pierced Liserg's belly make Liserg aware of his serious injuries. The pale face, the powerless hand, the hand that can be lifted - everything was that of a dying man. A loosely extended hand touches Sheila's cheek. Right hand pierced by a short knife. The unstoppable blood transmitted his arms from his wrist and dyed his sleeves red.

"Sheila...... show me your face better. It's dark and it doesn't look good."

"Father, hold on......!

"Sheila...... sorry. I'm sorry... if I'd been a little tighter"

Reserg continued to apologize to Sheila, capturing the words like a rumor. Hands off Sheila's face. There were traces of blood on Sheila's cheek.

"A little more, if I could believe in this country..."

"Father!?

Sheila raised a sad scream and embraced Reserg's body. But Reserg was no longer reacting to one thing. We're out of time.

Setsuna was confused. Reserg's death was not what was expected. I was bleeding too much. Iseld's bow gun was the one that stabbed him, but the cause of death was a lot of bleeding.

Reserg himself, he wasn't trying to stop the bleeding, he wasn't trying to get allowances. Even if soldiers rushed over to stop the bleeding, for example, they might have refused.

Reserg was probably going to die.

I don't know if that's what you thought from the beginning. Maybe it will come to pass.

Setuna was staring at Sheila sobbing as she hugged Liserg's remains. I didn't cry at Sellis' death. I guess she's here crying because Liserg's death cut the thread of tension. Celis and Reserg, I saw the death of my mother and father go on. It was natural for me to cry, and I couldn't seem to be impudent enough to do anything for her like that.

"True, you're right. Brother."

Iseld's voice had agony.

"This could not have happened if you had believed in one person in this country. A narrow amount of you could not believe neither the country nor the people. So I princed Sheila. Don't even realize it's a mistake in itself. No ears on the other side of the perimeter. It was destined to be like this - and it only seems good."

"Destiny......"

Sheila looked up frightened.

"Yes, it's fate. Sheila. You die here, too. So the lesions in this country disappear. All you have to do is leave it to Sail. Sail is smart. I'm sure he'll be a fine king. Until then, you'll be moving this country with me and everything around you, but don't worry."

"Destiny"

When Sheila snapped again, Iseld moved her jaw.

"Do it."

"Ha"

Archers move in unison. I'm not dissatisfied with Iseld's orders, but I'm going to pull Sheila's bow. Sheila's position is now the enemy of Abard, but she was once a princess in this royal palace. He should be a former master, so to speak, and you can be a little hesitant, but the archers of Iserd did not let anything get lost.

That's what it was called a soldier, and it was impossible to talk about adding a hand to them for not showing any human reaction to King Reserg's death. So Setuna flew.

"Let it be."

Flying, he beat down several archers who squeezed arrows, with chaos bringers. A few. The other dozen unleashed arrows and nearly a hundred arrows headed towards Sheila. A dozen of those arrows could not destroy everything, though Setuna shook down the spear. Dozens of arrows reach Sheila and clash against an invisible wall. Ragna on Sheila's shoulder, for Christ's sake, did something like that. I'm tired. I want to rely on him, but I can't just let him use his powers.

Setuna ran nervous when she saw one man move out in a corner of her sight, although she quickly swept away the archers around her. Sid ran a thunderbolt on his sword. Setuna, anyway, beat the archers around and just reduced them to about half, jumped between Sid and Sheila. Thunderlight flashes in sight. Electric heat smelled like burning air. The impact of the clash pierces the body from both hands. A black spear collided with a thunderbolt sword.

"You are, after all!

Sid's awakened face was in front of him. Cold eyes just look at this one. The arrow is released again.

"I knew you were going to kill Sheila!

"Oh."

Sid didn't deny it. Without denying it, it dropped slightly. Fall back, flow to the right. The poke flies. Poke like electric light. I finally avoided it by scooping my body. But there was pain. Though I avoided poking, he couldn't avoid the thunder. My right cheek burned. In those days, the arrows reached Sheila, but they are also played by Ragna's magic wall. Neither the archers nor Iserd understand what's going on, but they still won't let you stop the bowshooting. Do you believe that one day it will hit, or are you confused by this situation?

Could be both.

Shaking the spear into a single letter, Sid retreated and asked him to send a slash. but that's the move Setsuna wanted. Don't shake it out, stop it on the way. It needed tremendous power, but black spears and setuna would be fine. Stick out the stopped spear in Sid's position as it is. A fierce thrust that takes advantage of the range of spears.

"Why not!

Screaming and poking, he was deflected without difficulty. Disappear from sight like lightning. I heard voices.

"To save you."

"To save?

"Yes."

"Salvation? Where is salvation in this!

Fly screaming. I don't even have to tour my sight. We'll soon find out where the enemy is. The enhanced and sharpened five senses perceive Sid's destination. Left rear of Sheila. Setuna flew with all her might to prevent the blow he shook down as he fell. Spears and swords clash, sparks scatter.

"I thought I told you before. There are times in this world when you can only be saved by death."

"I did hear...!

"Now, that's when."

Sid launches a thunderous slash. Each time Setuna responded with a spear, striking back the slaughter. The sword and the spear bumped into each other many times, and each time a clash sounded. Each time, the spark burned Chile, and each time the electric heat scorched his sight.

It was then.

One arrow flew in to Sheila. But it doesn't hit her. Because the magic wall protected Sheila.

"Why!?

Iseld disturbed Sheila, who had not sustained one wound despite the arrow hitting her. Apparently, it was like Iseld's unleashed arrow. He has a bow gun.

Setuna focused her consciousness on Sid with a grin around her mouth.

Sid is Sid, and he seems to be thinking about how to get out of Setsuna, but he can't read his emotions from that look.

The archers, who initially had a hundred, are down to about half, and the rest of the archers are reluctant to approach Setuna or move the place. Iseld and Sheila were the only ones who hadn't moved. Maybe Iserd can't move from the throne, and Sheila can't, I guess, leave the remains of her father and mother.

If I thought so, Sheila suddenly stood up. Iseld's bow gun releases an arrow. The arrow is instantly sucked into Sheila's chest, hit by an invisible wall, and bounced. Better than the original, the chest is protected by new armor. Even a direct hit would not be fatal.

Sheila was looking at this one. Wet face in reserg's blood. There was no expression. A vain knife. A vain look. I don't feel anything. I'm not thinking about anything.

Nothing, nothing.

Setsuna felt vaguely anxious. A few arrows, heading for Sheila. But after all, Sheila is protected by Ragna. All the arrows were bounced and the void danced.

"Why don't you die......!

Sheila's body trembled slightly at Iseld's selfish cry. But the emotions don't show up at all. My eyes are vain and I don't see anything.

"Uncle, I'm sorry"

Setuna had no idea why she apologized.

"Setuna."

Sheila raised the Heart of Beast.

"Thanks"

At the next moment, an explosive white smeared Setuna's vision.
