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

Episode One Hundred Sixty-Three: The Messenger from Lyohan (IV)

"Are we done?

When I saw it, Malik stood shabby and looked at this one. I'm not sure how long I've been there, but I wasn't listening even though I was looking at the whole discussion between Setuna and Faria. It's hard to imagine how much I could have waited for the outcome of the discussion to get there.

"Oh."

"Yes."

affirm at the same time. I looked at him sideways, and he creaked.

"So, what do you do?

As Malik stepped down to the front door of the Genryu Palace, Faria stepped out in front of Setuna. Slightly stretched blue hair shakes slightly. I found Faria bowing her head deeply.

"Dear Malik, please take me to Lyohan"

Copy that.

Malik nodded in two replies, feeling relieved.

"Good. Good."

From the look on Malik's face, he seemed to think so from the bottom of his heart. I can see how important Faria-Valdish is to him. The same goes for flying from Lyohan to Ryufu. I guess everything he does this time can be seen, without a doubt, as love for the Great Faria.

"Dear Malik"

"Hmm?"

"Thank you"

"I'm not thankful enough."

Malik blurted back, but Setuna only seemed to be blindfolded.

"No, that's not true. If Master Malik hadn't flown in, I wouldn't have been able to thank him because it would have been a long way ahead of me to know what the Great Faria was capable of."

"... I guess. I have trouble with Lyohan's secrecy."

"You know you have to."

"I guess so. Then let's go when little Faria's ready."

"Are you ready?

Faria asked. Malik said it was like he was out there.

"For once, I need to get dressed or something. No matter how much Ravens Feather, it'll take days to get to Lyohan."

"I see."

I was talking about a point of agreement. Even Malik and Ravens Feather don't seem to be able to get from Ryufu to Lyohan in a single flight.

"What am I going to do until you're ready?"

"Why don't you rest? You must be tired.

"That's true too...... oh yeah. Dear Setuna, I have one favor to ask you."

"Please? To me?

Now it was Setuna's turn to make things right.

"Yes, Master Setuna is the only one who can do it. I mean, I don't like anyone else."

Malik walked over to Setuna, making it difficult to say.

"Let me talk to you."

All of a sudden I heard Leongand's voice when he was in his dreams. Nervous was nothing, and in a blurred consciousness, Setuna even forgot to correct her residence.

I tilt my gaze at the ceiling in the direction of my voice. Leongand was seen sitting in a chair next to his bedside.

"Your Majesty...?

The location is one of the rooms of the Temple of Xuanlong of the Heavenly Wheel Palace. Setsuna, who handed over the Tae Spirit Temple to Leongando, was the room he was using as his own room for a short period of time during his stay in Leongando. Lem, Ragna, and Urk should be somewhere in the room, but if you look where you can't even hear them, they may be out of their seats in front of Leongand as well. Think about that slowly.

"Setsuna, it's your call. Nothing from me."

Leongand, being nearby, did not hear a clear voice. There is such a feeling, as if the voice itself is hung. No, it's not Leongando's voice that's on the line. Because Setsuna's consciousness itself is obscure, Leongando's clear words are uncertain.

I finally understood what Leongand was talking about.

"Uh... sorry I'm late to tell you"

"No, Belle is one of your men. If you gave the order, there's nothing wrong with that. Loss of power hurts, but I don't have plans for an outing for a while. Even if there was a rescue request, like Lucion. It won't even bother Bell's hand."

Leongand speaks clearly. I know that, but it was lethal not to get anything into my head when I could screw it up. Regardless, the fatal one is Setuna's head, and if there's nothing wrong with Leongand, there's no downfall.

"... ha"

"Hmm? What's going on? You're a little uncomfortable."

Finally, Leongand seems to have noticed the unnaturalness of Setuna's reaction.

"Vampires sucked my blood..."

"Vampires? Did they suck blood? What's this all about?

It was also natural for Leongand to look surprised.

Setsuna told Leongand the revelations of the matter, wondering if he could do anything about his hazy consciousness.

Once, there was a man with two names: "Vampire”. The person's name is Quor-Ezen. Being Lyohan's armed summoner, he is known for being a user of summoning armed Ravens feathers who are even free to fly around the continent, and for being a bridge between Gandia and Lyohan with his ability to fly. Without his cooperation, it can be said that there was no great victory in the Kruselk war. The Allied forces were able to defeat the Demon King's Army because Lyohan's goddess of war and the four great heavenly samurai joined us in the war.

Without reinforcements from Lyohan, the Setunas might have been able to achieve a local victory, but they were more likely to have been defeated in the big picture. That's the biggest reason Quol-Ethen was highly regarded at the Arbitrage Awards after the war. It is no exaggeration to say that he is the only one who has brought us the triumph of the Kruselk war.

But Quor failed to survive the Kruselk war. It disappeared from the world as a sacrifice to defeat the giant ghost that appeared in the linendahl. Setuna, although his support allowed him to argue with the giant ghost, in fact, he cannot do but awaken the god who slept with the giant ghost. Nevertheless, it is true that we were able to repel the giant ghosts and attract the victory of the Kruselk war because of the sacrifice we made of Quor, and we cannot imagine what would have happened to the Kruselk war itself without Quor. Even if we could win, there is no question that we had to make more sacrifices.

Quor is dead, but the subpoena weapon did not vanish. Ravensfeather was handed down to Malik-Majik. Malik inherited it on his own, but he was also proud that he was the only one who could inherit the summoning armament, which should also be the legacy of Quor. Maybe you're right. Ravens Feather is, in a way, a powerful summoning weapon. That control will require a great deal of competence as an armed summoner. So there's no better armed summoner than Malik-Majik.

Speaking of abilities, anyone in the four heavenly samurai would meet the conditions, and anyone could handle it without difficulty, but the three except Malik seem to think that it would be better to focus all their efforts on one subpoena weapon than to use multiple subpoenas simultaneously (though they would use it separately in some circumstances), leaving the handling of Ravensfeather to Malik.

Anyway, Malik became Ravensfeather's summoner, and he became a bridge connecting Lyohan and Gandia.

After the Kruselk war, it was Malik who exercised Ravensfeather who carried the goddess of war, Faria-Baldish, and the four great heavenly samurai, to Lyohan, and who, as Setuna wished, carried Faria's birthday presents and gifts to the Dragon House. Malik doesn't freely use Ravens Feather.

Such a Malik, but I could not ignore the side effects associated with the exercise of Ravensfeather's abilities.

Ravensfeather's ability is super accelerated. It's about gaining acceleration power over intelligence, and using the winged subpoena armed common ability to fly allows for ultra-long distance travel, but in order to use that ability, users had to lose a certain amount of blood.

A summoning weapon is a generic term for a weapon or armor that has been summoned from another world. Weaponry prevalent in the Illus Valle, similar to protective equipment, was non-existent. First, they are commonly alien. It has a flashy decoration, or at first glance it has a shape that I wonder would be unusable. And in that the greatest characteristic has a peculiar power.

Setuna's Summoning Armed Chaos Blinger has a variety of abilities. The ability to inhale fire, to launch inhaled fire, to emit light rays, to make space transfers, and so on is diverse. So far, it seems, a subpoena armed with unrestrained abilities is not what it is, but anyway, a subpoena armed is capable.

And to exercise competence, in many cases, depletes mental power. The Summoning Army sucks up the mental power of the user to realize his abilities. The mental capacity necessary for the exercise of abilities varies depending on the ability to exercise them and the manner in which they are exercised. In the case of chaos bringers, the spatial transfer is the most draining and the exercise of the ability to absorb flames is less draining than it feels burdensome.

In addition, rarely, but not exclusively, are abilities that cannot be exercised simply by depleting mental power. When it comes to chaos bringer, that's space transfer. There are limitations to spatial transfer by chaosblinger. The chaos bringer will tear them apart. You have to bleed them out. Technically, it's the ability to transfer to the sights reflected in the blood blown out by chaos bringers. Thus, it is recognized as a blood-mediated spatial metastasis. Whatever the subject bleeds. It doesn't matter if you're human, imperial demon, animal, or even one of the enemies. It was also possible to mutilate my body and mediate the blood flowing. In fact, there was so much metastasis in that way that it could not be counted, and Maria had been noticed so many times. My body is not a consumable. But if you had no enemies around you, you had no choice but to mutilate your own body. There's no way I can hurt any of my people. Then it's 10,000 times better to hurt yourself and put up with your pain.

Summoning armies that require blood to exercise their abilities include Sheila's Heart of Beast. Previously, it was recognized that to exercise Heart of Beast's abilities, like Chaos Bringer, Heart of Beast itself needed to hurt enemies and bleed, but according to Sheila, it wasn't. If there's blood all around us, that's fine. Whether you're an enemy or an ally, the more blood you bleed, the better. He was able to transform himself into a giant beast enough to devastate Bandor, apparently because there was a lot of blood on Abad's battlefield, and Sheila's parents were bleeding.

In addition, there would be summoning armaments that required blood besides mental strength, but as far as Setuna could think of, there were only three: Chaos Bringer and Heart of Beast, and Ravens Feather.

Ravens Feather's super acceleration also naturally drains mental power. The longer you travel, the farther away you become, the more draining it becomes. The same can be said of blood consumption.

Ravensfeather's ability to gain super acceleration by consuming blood in his body means that once he travels a certain distance, he won't be able to use it for a while. But Ravensfeather has another ability to make up for lost blood, and thanks to that ability, Quor and Malik were able to fly around the place.

Its ability is the absorption of blood from others - that is, blood sucking. He said he could not only suck blood, but also make the blood he sucked his own. Malik called it blood rationalization. Blood suction and normalization make up for lost blood.

Like, vampires.

Quol-Ethen had two names: "Vampire”. That was the name Ravensfeather had no choice but to use his abilities. You have to lose blood to fly around using super acceleration, and you need to make up for blood to keep flying even more. To make up for blood, it is quick to suck blood from others. Of course, with the other person's approval, I guess. but if others saw it, it just seemed like vampires were attacking humans, and it was natural for Quor to be called a “vampire”.

Setsuna was sucked on blood by Malik. So right now, he's anaemic and his consciousness is strangely blurred.

"I see. Will Gandhian heroes also lose to vampires"

"You can't win."

"Ha. If we lose blood, will that happen? But the Four Great Heavenly Samurais have no mercy."

"True, there was no mercy, no mercy."

Setuna touched her neck muscles with her left hand as she relaxed on the sleeping table. There are firm marks of vampire fangs stabbing near the neck artery. You can call it a mark of Malik's bite.

There was only one way for Malik to suck blood from others. It summons Ravens Feather and exercises his ability to suck blood, when his teeth turn into fangs for sucking blood. He said he would stick that fang into his artery and suck up blood from inside his fangs. Setuna had to remain bitten for a while, after Malik bit her, until he could suck out blood.

The pain was only when it was first bitten. It's just a little pain when your fangs break through your skin. Later, rather sensual pleasure swept Setuna's consciousness, and Setuna was greatly puzzled. According to what we talked about later, it was Malik's idea that it would be Ravensfeather's consideration to keep him from being disgusted by the blood sucking behavior. As a result, the act of being sucked can often be sickening, and the person who sucked blood once said he would want it sucked over and over again.

Fortunately, Setuna didn't feel that way, but I thought maybe that was because the other guy was Malik and he was of the same sex. If Malik was a female vampire, it could have been a lot more dangerous.

It's just that Miliu is outraged.

(Good thing the other guy is Malik)

Setsuna thought of that when she remembered Miliu staring at him in tears during the bloodsucking by Malik.

Then a while later, Faria finished preparing for the long journey. When it came to preparation, it was enough to prepare roadblocks and dressing, and it wasn't so tenacious.

Faria disappeared from the Dragon House with Malik within that day.

When he traveled, Miliu grieved that he would not see Faria for a while, and even wept. Faria's face seeing such a milieu was like her sister staring at her selfish sister, something she thought the relationship between the two of them had been from the beginning. Faria scorned Miliu, and Miliu smiled at Faria as well.

Aside from Ruufa, Emil, Maria and other Lion's Tail companions, Faria grabbed by Malik and flew away, watched by Lem, Ragna, the Black Beast Squad led by Sheila, the Sydney Battle Squad led by Esq, plus the Dorca Army, the Grand Army Commander of Grad and Ayne.

"I'll be back for sure."

Just before flying, I was just glad to hear a word of Faria uttered toward Setuna.
