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

Episode 154: The Place of Death (Previous)

Watching the night.

The stars in the night sky and the immense light of the moon illuminate my vision. Far away. Everything, far away. There is even the feeling of being isolated from the world itself. It must be my fault. That can't even be true. The world is always looking at this one calmly, painfully, sarcastically. It can't be different, like distance.

Blurry, think about that.

The battle is over.

Though it is not settled, first of all, I can say that the war is over.

Anything I want to keep fighting in that situation, is gone.

At least, the Abad army will have also lost their temper to resist. Not only did the king's capital collapse, but the royal palace itself collapsed. You can take it for granted that you lost your temper. Rather, it would be a big deal if we could still lose the temper to fight in such a situation. There must be more shocks than the main battalion has fallen, running to the Abad Army.

There is even a battle against a giant nine-tailed fox, whose identity was Sheila, and who has bought both a part and two in the Abad army's loss of will. The battle against the Nine Tails ended in a situation where all the armies that were supposed to have been hostile had to work together and put their hands together to fight through it. If you go through a fight like that, you'll be tempted to fight again soon. Not to mention the fact that Sheila was the identity of the nine-tailed fox who destroyed the king's capital was extremely destructive.

Moreover, we know that Sheila's foxing of the Nine Tails is not for Gandia's victory or anything. The nine-tailed fox not only devastated Bandor and launched an attack on Abad Benoagard's army, but also ravaged Charlum, even Gandia's army. With its overwhelming giant and power, it vanquished the soldiers in line, causing so much destruction that the terrain changed.

Still, there's no one dead, so I'm not surprised.

But if you find out who the Fox of Nine Tails is Sheila, you can also be convinced that the dead are not out as one. Sheila can't kill you. There's no reason why you haven't fallen so far as killing without meaning.

She is noble and beautiful.

A beast princess was that kind of person.

Is that why?

"In the end, I didn't die..."

Esk-Soma, one, snapped, narrowing his eyes to the glare of the moon's light.

In search of a place of death, in search of a place of death, he plunged into a giant beast with his men. There is no such thing as a winning arithmetic. I don't even think it's going to be a fight. Just to be killed. I was just on my way to die.

The battle was one-sided. It was unilaterally ravaged and kicked in unilaterally. I felt ridiculously overwhelmed. It wasn't bad to die as it was. No, you should be killed because dying is the purpose. You have to be killed.

It's the seed I sprinkled.

It was myself who cornered her.

"Kira"

The words crushed by the phantom of a girl who appeared out of nowhere are still in my ears.

Naturally he hates me. Since I got to know her, there's nothing like being liked. Because you don't need to be liked. Instead, I wanted to drive anger, amplify hatred, and swell despair. That's how I tore her heart apart and tried to lower her drinks a little. I realize how small I can only avenge myself by doing so.

"Oh, my God."

"Esq......"

Remill's anxious voice must have guided him.

He wasn't dead, but he was slapped on the tail of a white fox all over his body, and he couldn't even move. So, to die, I won't die. I can't even kill myself from scratch.

I even thought about getting Remill to kill me, but then Remill was so pathetic, I stopped. If you are to die, you must do it by your own will and with your own hands. He is also a noble soul, like he must keep his hands dirty until he dies.

Nevertheless, the same is true of Remill, who is injured. I just asked for it, and I might not have been able to. Though it seems to be slighter than an esc.

"Really, don't be."

"Acting Commander......"

"I knew it, me. I knew it."

Throw it away, like you're looking for air.

"I knew it all..."

I don't care what you found out. I just told Remill and Doreen why, and it's just an excuse. No, it might not even be an excuse. I didn't want to paint it with shame. I don't know how to do this.

I could see the mercenaries around me moving unexpectedly. The air is tense. Probably the Gandhian army. He's finally figured out where he is, and he's pointing his soldiers at me, I guess.

Give it to me.

Blur in the chest.

It's not enough for a place to die, but you won't mind. If you squeeze the remaining power, you may be able to kill one or both of them. After that, you just have to be killed. Yeah, I thought.

But.

The light of the demonic crystal lamp dyed the vision of the escu in blue and white.

"Hey,“ Sworddemon. "

The voice belonged to a man who was familiar with his ears here recently. Niewe-Diabras. Setuna Zenon Lars-Enjour Divgard.

"General of the Black Spear, then, don't you"

He felt somewhat embarrassed when he realized his voice was up. I'm not sure myself what I'm nervous about. I get bored. I never get nervous about him. I don't think so.

No, and he shook his head sideways in his chest. It is not. That's not the point. I know. I understand.

He's dead.

"I hear you did it."

Bringing his head, he saw a young woman with a portable demonic crystal lamp in her hand and found him standing behind it. Probably because the battle is over. With his armor off, he doesn't even look like a very normal boy. Being behind the light source probably also affects the lack of a good view of the whole picture.

In any case, it does not appear in the appearance of death with reality.

But if he moves more than he has a black spear in his hand, Esq's death will be absolute. If he came all the way out here, there would be nothing else. Death. Absolute death. Nothing, I'm not dissatisfied. Instead, he's the one you don't complain about as a place to die. Black spear setuna. Gandhian hero. Even if the "Swordsman” was killed, no one would ever wonder.

"Whoa, I did it. I did it. Ha, ha, ha."

Esq purposefully shouted out loud. Setsuna gave me a subtle look, I can tell. A frightened, well, sympathetic look. I don't remember being pitied.

"Oh, my God, that feels like it."

"Am I?"

"It's your betrayal, it's a prospect for our genius warrior. See?"

Setsuna asks the female officer for her consent. The female officer should certainly have been a subordinate of the Ayn-Lajar boy who served as a military teacher in this battle. That much, I remember. A woman positively affirms.

"Yes! Everything was just what Chief Ayn thought!

"Ha..."

Laugh. Why, you're strong.

Setsuna also laughs lightly. You can just look at what Esq thinks and say.

"You think I'm strong?

"No way......"

"It was all a matter of strategy to put the troops in position and to set you free. For me and Sheila to reach the king's capital."

"... hahahahahahahahaha... seriously"

"Seriously."

Flat, Setuna. I can't feel a lie or a lie from that look or tone. Apparently, it's not an assignment to defeat Esq. That's why the shock is strong.

"No, no, no, no, no, no."

Esq woke his body up shouting so loud that he could even give it up. My whole body screams. But I couldn't have done it if I hadn't. Everything I've done has been denied. Instead of taking a crappy revenge on Sheila, he couldn't even make the Gandian army eat the pain. Gandhian army wounds were all woven together.

"What the hell is that! I'm not kidding! I'm kidding!

"Which one are you kidding?"

"… ha. I guess so. Right...... right. Me."

Chill, admit it.

I just think I'm kidding, maybe.

"Oh."

Setsuna quietly affirms. The quiet of the word of that affirmation seems to indicate that the battle is over. I don't need to fight anymore. So there's no reason to be nervous. Such a voice. Calm, dear.

The battle is over.

Everything, it's over.

The place of death was lost.

"Are you kidding me?"

Esq looked around with a sigh. Simply moving his neck hurt and screamed the savings in his body, but silently kills him. It's not unbearable pain. I've had worse eyes in my life to get here. Sometimes it was in my dying eyes. Think of it, there's nothing like being hit hard all over your body. Because you can't fight, but the problem is, no.

All I can think about is dying anyway.

Ambient.

The light of the magic crystal lamp in the hands of the female officer is illuminating me. corner of the battlefield. A corner of the earth ravaged by giant beasts and drastically altered terrain. Twenty-five or so survivors of the Sydney mercenary regiment are in the tunnel. Survival. Survived, perhaps. Everyone tried and lost their last battle to die. Failure to die means defeat. It has to be called defeat. Twenty-five dead, from Esq, are no other winners. Win and run. He died brilliantly in a place of death where there was no more, so it would be nothing but a win. I was lucky.

It is ourselves who have had to survive and expose ourselves to mutilations that are unlucky and unhappy. Remil-Folk Ray, Dorin-Nog, mercenaries of the two men. Everyone is exhausted. Fatigue and wear, pain beaten all over the body, make it so. I guess I don't even have the strength to stand up.

(It's my fault)

Esq thinks blurry. I created this situation. I brought them this far. Even though they all lost their place and wanted to die, there might have been another way to live. I think so. In the end, it was myself who decided I had no choice but to die, and that assumption closed other possibilities. I can't say enough about that because I'm not dying and I'm surviving.

Sigh.

and.

"... everything went as our military master thought, and you Sidonian mercenary regiments' movements also contributed to the victory of the Gandian army"

Setsuna was coming. Point your gaze at you. I wonder how I picture myself in the eyes of a boy with a black spear in his hand. Maybe it's only pictured as a wretched wreck. I take it for granted. Otherwise, what do you think? Think, laugh bitterly in your chest. How do you want to be seen?

"... what do you want?

"Drop your weapon and come down, we'll make sure you're safe."

"Guarantee... Guarantee"

"What's wrong?

"That's crazy."

Esq laughs sarcastically. As usual.

"It was essentially an invasion to expand Gandhia's territory, whilst at the service of the princess. What do you trust in your country?"

"Right."

Setsuna laughs, mocking herself. Maybe he has a feeling, too.

I'm not asking you to trust Gandhia.

"What?"

"I assure you."

"You want me to trust you?

"Can't you?

"... right"

I don't have to think about it, the answer is out there. Setsuna deserves credit. That, I know. The more I crush myself for Sheila and look back at his behavior, which has broken her bones, the more I can see that he is just someone I deserve to trust. Clearly. He, at all times, put Sheila first. It seemed like something else beyond Gandia's thoughts, and in fact, Setuna didn't seem to know that the Gandia army was going to invade Abad, even from his words and deeds. Setuna herself had no intention of using Sheila.

And Setuna is rescuing Sheila from among the giant beasts. He's turned into a giant beast, brilliantly helping a runaway beast princess, and leading the battle to an end. Normally, I would take them down. I would have killed a giant beast and killed Sheila. But he didn't. I saved Sheila while having as much power as I could. I kept my promise to Sheila.

"You are... a general, I can believe it"

"Good."

"But..."

Esq took a short cane that was hanging in his hip band. Gripping the pattern, the field of view widened along with the feeling of being sucked by the force, and the surrounding scene was projected behind his brain. Starlight alone provides enough light to stabilize vision. I can clearly tell the time with Setuna and even the position of the members around me. Both Remill's sad expression and Doreen's rugged face are well understood. I don't know why you two look like that, though.

"Esq!"

"Acting Commander......!

"That's not what I'm talking about."

When I put my strength into the short cane, once again, I had the feeling that the force would be sucked away, and light erupted from the tip of the short cane. The pale light rapidly converges and builds a long body. Blade of light. The sword, which boasts a cleavage to the point of irrationality, is also common to white foxes. Most importantly, the white fox's tail was shallowly torn and repaired immediately. And I was blown away. They slapped me on the tail even more, and I couldn't move to move. Until the end of the war. I want a place to die, and that's the result of the deviation. It's not funny.

"Right."

"I have my life. Meaningful too. I've come this far. I'm gonna beg you for your life. I don't know."

"That's crappy."

That said, Setuna wasn't even the wind making fun of Esq. Rather, it's the look of understanding. That's what I don't care about. You can't possibly understand. You can't possibly understand. There is no way you can tell, for example, by the prepared hero of the place, the mood of a mercenary deprived of even the place of death.

"Stay back."

"Yes!"

The prestigious reply of the female officer was not anything more than a hearing impairment, but it is not there that I do not care to eat. It is the reaction of the female officer, who does not worry about Setuna in any way and falls behind with promises, who does not care. We don't even think about Setsuna being wounded and killed.

(Naturally)

I laugh bitterly in my chest.

In a mercenary beaten by a nine-tailed fox and a hero who tried to dismantle the nine-tailed fox, he will not be opponent. It's not strange to think that, and it could be a problem before that. The female officer won't know anything about Esq, but she should know too much about Setuna. The female officer is a Gandhian soldier and Setuna is a Gandhian hero.

It's natural to trust.

When he captured the appearance of the boy with the black spear directly from the front, Esq admitted that his whole body trembled. My whole body foamed up and I got total fur. The tension was tremendous.

(This is... death)

In Esq's previous life, he was the man who embodied death the most.

And I kicked the ground.

Finally, he dies.
