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

Episode One Thousand Two Hundred Thirty-six: True Black (III)

I had a dream.

No, I'm not sure that's a good dream.

Narrow room between dreams and present.

Grey world.

The sky, the earth, the winds that blow through, a world stained with everything gray. If it's not a dream, it's not real, such a world.

Again, though I snapped, I didn't have a voice.

I just saw a dragon.

He watched the moment a black dragon squatting on the earth spread its wings and flew into the sky. There was freedom there as if the shackles that had been tied to the earth had been broken. Wingspatter, to heaven as it is. A gray sky is divided and a polar-colored sky is opened. The gray world instantly turns into a vibrant, vibrant world. It wasn't long. The world will change in no time. It turns from a narrow space between dreams and present to a vivid reality. Wake up. It was an unprecedented awakening.

When I opened my eyes, I had the face of a girl I was used to seeing. No, I'm not a girl at my actual age. I feel like a girl because my physical age stops at thirteen. Reaper Rem. A servant of Setuna, who Setuna continues to give life to. Wearing maid clothes, as usual, she has had a poor grin as to whether she noticed Setuna's awakening.

"Finally, you're awake"

"Rem?"

I called my name because I was wondering why she was in front of me and peeking into Setuna's face.

"What is it?

And, from beneath her, who looks strange, the Fei Long peeked into her face.

"I'm here too."

An odd creature with a head that can't be a lizard or a snake is a little flying dragon named Ragnasia-Elm Dorrus. The body, covered in a beautiful outer skin like a green cylinder ball, is rounded and somewhat lovable. It had a pair of wings and a long neck. It was characterised by a long tail. I could easily imagine that the big eyes would be like jewels, with Setuna's face pictured in those eyes.

"Ragna?"

"I'm here too"

The emotionless voice was heard from a slightly distant position. Rem put his hand on my shoulder as I tried to wake up my body to see the Lord of my voice. Maybe Setsuna didn't work too well. My whole body is screaming. Let's be. The Lord of earlier voices stood behind Rem. A seemingly extinct beauty and figure. In fact, it's not a human being, it's a combat weapon called a Demonic Crystal doll, but it looked very much like a human being just because it was a doll. Long gray hair shakes in the wind and pale, luminous eyes look at this one. Urk.

"Up to Urk? What's this all about?

"Nothing like this, either. I picked up your husband."

"Pick me up...?

Setuna stared at Rem and made up her mind. I don't know. I didn't understand what kind of situation I was in right now. What happened? What is it and I am here? Why were you sleeping in this place?

Overhead, the blue sky was spreading. The sight I saw in the middle of the dream remains intact. It was as if the black dragon had pierced the grey sky and called for sunshine. In my memory, it should have been cloudy until before I slept. I remember falling asleep even though it might rain.

'Cause if it's not for you, we'll all be worried.'

"We decided we should pick him up as soon as possible,"

I can see that Ragna and Urk's remarks, etc. inspire me to remember a little bit of what was a blur.

"... well, well"

"What's wrong?

"I fought Niewe."

When Setuna blurted, Ragna flashed.

"Have you forgotten that already? It's not a scary one."

"Not at all. Do you have any idea how worried we were about your husband?

"Excuse me. Excuse me."

"Light."

"My lord!

As Rem stared, Setuna turned to her. Ignoring the body's verses screaming, I stare into her eyes. Exactly the same red eyes as Setuna. Red eyes like blood. Stand still, stare.

"Oh, I know. You're worried."

"When they say that... nothing"

For some reason Ragna looked so hard to say, as opposed to Rem, who leaned down his eyes as he tided his cheeks.

"Why don't you just leave me alone with one word? Poor seniors."

"And Ragna."

Now Setuna stared into Ragna's eyes. A jewel-like eye is nothing short of loving.

"Thanks for picking me up"

"Heh, heh. I don't care if they say so."

Setuna smiled at how Ragna was shaking her tail, albeit well. Neither will there be a creature as understandable as Ragna.

Then Setuna turned her gaze to Urk. You can't ignore her before I thank you both. Of course, I know Urk doesn't have feelings, and I understand that it doesn't make sense. But that doesn't mean anything.

"I didn't expect you to come all the way to Urk."

"Did Setuna forget my role?

"No. I remember."

"Then don't make such remarks"

"Oh, I'll be careful from now on"

Say, Setuna smiled bitterly. I guess she still doesn't need a thank you or anything. But Setuna would continue to thank her and intended to treat her as one woman. She has a self. The ego was also suddenly expressed. Emotions don't always wake up, and even now, they can show up as if they have emotions.

Most of all, Setuna treats her as a woman, not because one day an emotion sprouts in her.

I'm just saying that because I did.

"As you can see, it's over."

Setuna, looking around, told him.

The battle against Neewe was over and the Apostolic Forest was thoroughly destroyed. Setuna wasn't the only one who destroyed it. Neewe also plays a part in the destruction of the forest, but it goes without saying that it was Setuna who mainly destroyed it. I can't help it because all surrounding attacks of black spears indiscriminately cause destruction. What can I do? Because if it wasn't for that, I wouldn't have been able to counter Niewe's abilities.

"Hmm. You'll see. You won."

"Oh. I can manage that."

"What happened to Lady Neewe?

"He's not dead. I didn't kill him."

"Why?

'Cause you can't kill me for nothing.'

Leongand immediately, Niewe had been harshly insisted that he should not be killed. It is only natural to abide by the royal decree. Leongand feared that if he killed Niewe, the Zaion Empire could move into retaliation. Anyone can imagine what would happen if any of the three forces sent their forces to a small group of nations. Hundreds of years of equilibrium collapse in an instant. It ravages a small group of nations so that the three major forces compete, and their dreams and ambitions disappear like bubbles. No matter how black the spear is, there is no way you can fight through millions of troops against you.

Niewe said the empire wouldn't move where he was killed, but it's not what I found out if it was true. Maybe Niewe just assumes that on his own, or it could have been a convenience to get Setuna to be serious. Neewe had to kill Setsuna. Otherwise, it will not be a "showdown” of the same existence.

For Niewe, the battle against Setsuna was a battle between the Edge of Thurst and the Black Spear, while at the same time it was a seated showdown of this world's existence with Setsuna, for which we needed to risk each other's lives and do everything in our power. For that reason, it should not have been stingy to unfairly disparage your existence. We have to do everything in our power. If Setsuna had been Niewe's position, she would have done so.

Of course, it's possible that he himself really assumes that.

In fact, his position within the Empire didn't seem like a stone's throw.

At the moment of settlement, I catch a glimpse of Niewe's memory. It's unclear if that's all really his memory, but it probably is. As I saw his memory in the battle with Wayne. As I glimpsed Rem's memory in the fight against Craig. I also took a peek at Niewe's past. And according to that, his position didn't always seem good. So much so that I don't even know he's taking a lighter look at his life.

But even assuming Niewe's position in the Empire is weak and badly handled, if the prince was murdered, he wouldn't let it go. Moreover, if he did not die domestically, but of an exotic, which was also killed within a group of small nations, could he not even silence him? It's like it involves the prestige of an empire. I'm sure it'll be a problem. There can be enough empires to move armies.

That's the biggest reason Setsuna didn't kill Niewe.

If Niewe was not an empire prince or anything, she would have killed him without hesitation. Enemy. Besides, the opponent is after Setuna's life. There's no reason to throw it away without killing it.

Still, I would have refused to do it.

"But... if Master Niewe is alive, isn't he going to be targeted again?

"I don't know."

Setsuna put her arms together. I'm not sure what happened to Niewe. After the last clash, his appearance had disappeared from the perimeter of Setuna.

"I don't know."

"It's all Niewe's own problem. I don't know. Just..."

"Just...?

"Never again, I'm sure Neewe will beat you"

"Why can you say all that?

"I destroyed the Edge of Thurst. Unless he even gets an extra vicious summoning arm, there's no reason to lose. And if he's still trying to kill me, he won't come after me until he's sure he can win."

"I'm not relieved I just destroyed it, though."

What Urk has been pointing out is the common sense of summoning armies. Summoning armaments usually do not end only with destruction. Because even if it is destroyed and rendered powerless, it is automatically repaired by simply sending it back to the original world. The time until the repair is complete depends on the extent of the damage, but even if it is completely destroyed, it is said to be repairable as long as it can be repatriated. That is one of the advantages of a subpoena weapon. Unlike normal weapons, which can be difficult to repair if destroyed, they can only be repaired from any condition if they can be repatriated. You can call it practically all-you-can-use.

Nevertheless, the summoner is dead and no longer able to return the summoned weapon will remain destroyed if destroyed, and the advantages of the summoned weapon will be lost.

"I destroyed it and absorbed it."

"Absorbing? I don't know what that means"

"Edge of Thurst is a family of black spears. Part of the power divided from the black spear, I suppose. And the Black Spear had as its mission to bring back those families as its own strength"

"Get it back...?

"Yes. Destroy the subpoena and take it in."

Setuna, explaining to Urk, summoned and snapped armed. Your whole body emits light and dyes your vision white. In the following moment, weight appeared within his right hand, informing him that the summons of the black spear had been successful. Grip the pattern. The sensation of the five senses expanding exponentially along with the chilling sensations was irritated. Much more delicate and acute than ever before, the super sensation made me remember the glare. The scenery that enters my sight, the sound that pops into my tympanic membrane, the smell that fills my nasal cavity, what I feel all over my body - makes my head tear at the amount of information like the flood that flows into my consciousness. It felt like I had never felt it before. Such a feeling that the brain hasn't caught up with the processing. In fact, a huge amount of information is popping in that the processing speed of the brain is not enough. It was enough to wonder if it would rupture my head because I couldn't handle it as it was. Too much information in my head to know anything the other way around. Shortly after I woke up from sleep, it may be because of this that my memory was uncertain. Did the moment the black spear was complete, memory problems occur because of the enormous amount of information that has been pouring into my head?

"Now that we have captured Wayne's Lance of Designer, Craig's Mask of Dispair, and Neewe's Edge of Thurst, the Black Spear has regained its full power. I'm in perfect condition."

I didn't mention the drunken-like feeling of having a complete body black spear in my hand. Because it wasn't necessary, and it was my own problem. I can only hope my body gets used to it as I summon it over and over again from now on. If you can't be, you won't even be able to fight properly.

"You're stronger than ever, aren't you?

"In short, it will"

"I'm stronger than I was then. I can't trust you."

"Want to fight?

When Setsuna did, Ragna stared at him, then turned to him immediately.

"... no"

"Why not?"

"If I fight you now, I will kill you first."

Ragna's response was extremely calm. Ragna today was in a condition similar to that of a baby who had just been reincarnated on May 5 last year and was weak enough not to be compared to the giant Wyburn who boasted the power he had saved for hundreds of years. If you fight, it's obvious Setuna wins. Even an armed summoner other than Setuna would be able to overwhelm him right now. So fragile and weak. That's why Setuna has to protect him.

"Just because you were killed the same doesn't mean you can reincarnate as well as you did then"

"Really?

"We were just talking about how everything worked out then. Because the enormous amount of magic unleashed by the sawdust could be transformed into the power of rebirth without diffusion partition. Maybe not this time. If that happens, I don't know how many years it will be before I'm reincarnated. It could be decades, hundreds of years from now."

Ragna looked away and went. Has it ever been reincarnated over decades, hundreds of years? It was a real voice.

"Can it ever be that far ahead?"

"It's possible. If there is less magic drifting in the world, it will. But if an armed summoner overflows the earth, there will be no trouble with magic."

"Then you don't mean hundreds of years from now."

"Well. But I don't want to reincarnate anymore."

As he complained with a sigh, he spread his wings in Rem's arms. When Rem releases Ragna's body, he flies at the same time and travels all the way over Setuna's head.

"Why?

'Cause you're going to be separated.'

"You mean you don't want to leave me?

"I don't think there are more wavelengths in this world than you should."

Ragna circles over Setuna's head. Ragna had grown and grown heavier than it had been six months ago, but still not the unbearable weight of Setuna's neck. Sooner or later, when Setuna's neck became intolerable, there would be no other problems than having Ragna give up her fixed position, but so far nothing seemed to be the problem. Ragna is positioned above Setuna's head because it is best suited for absorption of magic, and even if it stops on the shoulder, it seems to have no problem with sucking up magic itself. And it doesn't necessarily mean it has to be Setuna. I'm just saying that the setuna with the right wavelength is the most efficient.

"Wavelength...... hey"

"It's like wavelight, is it?

Setuna appropriately agreed, as Urk would strangle her.

"Maybe."

"If it's wavelength, I'm the perfect fit."

Don't fight it.

"I will!

"What the fuck?"

Setsuna was baffled by the Reaper Maid, who had suddenly stuck to her arm.
