Armed Summoners - Black Spears and the Brave Men of the Other World
Episode One Thousand Three Hundred and ninety-three: Love in This Hand (XIII)
But what happened to it?
The moment Leongand's voice was heard, the thunderlight caught Hulberg's sight and severe pain pierced his left arm. Instantly understand and groan in your chest.
(Falia's Aurora Storm......!
However, severe pain was an arm and I didn't have to stop my legs by biting my teeth and ignoring them. Just move on. One step, one more step, and we get closer to Leongando. Leongando, don't move. I'm just looking at this one cold. Thunderlight flashes. Serpentine lightning. I can't avoid it.
"You can't beat me."
Next, impact the right thigh. Heavy pain from electric fever fluttered my legs. Fall. Previous. I can't use my left hand to protect my body. The right hand holds the sword. You can't let go. Stay down. Impact. For a moment, breathing stops. I smelled dirt. It's damp. Speaking of which, I remember it raining recently. Since when, such as sniffing the smell of rain-fed dirt. It's not the most recent event I can remember right away. Probably a childhood memory.
I don't even know why I've thought about that now.
(Not yet......)
When he woke up forcefully with his injured left arm, he had a Leongand appearance in front of him. It wasn't because Leongand was exposed to defenselessness that took his breath away. Because there was a figure there who Hulberg had pursued as an ideal.
"You lost, Halberg."
The man with the eyes, dressed in the armor of a silver lion, was equipped with the exact majesty, pressure and power he deserved to call himself the Lion King, and Hulberg, with trembling thoughts, watched him.
(What are you happy about?
In asking myself, I can put my strength into a hand that holds the pattern of a sword. Physically, it's hard to get slashed by Leongando. My left arm is not moving properly and my right leg is seriously injured. Aside from being slaughtered, just standing up and confronting might extremes the difficulties. That was precise and intense sniping to be called Faria. If Faria was willing to do that, she must have also been able to take Hulberg's life.
Faria seemed to be hiding behind Leongand. He was in an invisible position from Hulberg, and he sniped Hulberg from there. Exactly the kind of shooting that could be called precision shooting proved that she was an excellent armed summoner. And there's nothing more to it than the lack of forgiveness.
Speaking of Faria, she was a friend of Linonclair's. He was one of the few people who said Linonclair was an unconscionable pattern, and one of the purposes of her visit to Gandia was to meet Faria. Faria seemed to care about Linonclair, too, and about Hulberg, which she treated me as her friend, Linonclair's husband. With all that to do, we can attack without any hesitation than we have turned to our enemies - that would be what a warrior would be, and Halberg rather thanked us for that.
Outside, such as being pitied.
(What are you enjoying?
As I ask myself, I feel Faria slowly approaching us.
It would be for Leongand's escort. Leongand was too defenseless. It is too close to Hulberg defenselessly. The possibility that Hulberg has a subpoena weapon should have been considered, and we should have stayed back until Hulberg died. Even without a subpoena weapon, you should think about it as much as squeezing your last force and being slashed.
(... yes, you should think)
Hulberg narrowed his eyes, realizing that numerous signs were sieging him as well as Faria's footsteps. Even if we could cross Leongando here, we wouldn't survive. They just push me around and kill me.
(No)
There is a way.
If only we could use Glory Obrusion, we would be able to break through the siege net. Glory Oblución's flashes can also be dazzling. Nevertheless, if that doesn't make things better, there's a lot of potential for it to get worse.
Stand up with your sword, pierced to the ground, supported.
"Halberg"
Leongand opens his mouth. He stands in front of you. Standing defenselessly, flat, poking. Sword intermission. If you pull it off the ground and slash it, that's it. I'm sure, but I can't move. I also know that if you move, you'll be shot.
"One thing, I want to hear"
"Beyond this period, what?
I laugh. I thought Leongando was the disciplined part of saying no before I asked. Leongand has always had such a place. It's been fading lately, but after all, the roots haven't changed.
Staring into Halberg's eyes. Only one eye ever sharp, and, terrible, clear.
"Why have you become my enemy"
I thought I heard your heart.
My own heart tone. Heart sounds. Heartbeat. I don't know why. There must be an answer to Leongand's question. Clear, non-transferable answers. Yet, the moment I was questioned, upset arose.
"You must have exchanged a deed when you walked with me. When you follow the same dream. When we followed the fantasy of the unity of a small group of continental nations, which is nothing but an exaggerated delusion, we swore to each other. Even if you fall in the middle of the road, in the middle of your dreams, take your hands together and move forward -"
Reminds me of a distant day's memory.
Many words spinned over and over again. Deeds, vows, promises. A magical word that determined Halberg's life and was to bind his destiny. Curse. It became an irresistible fate, bound. That doesn't mean it's bad. That's good to hear. At least, that should have made her happy. At least, if he enjoyed that happiness, he would also have been able to live a happy life.
At least.
At least.
"That's what I promised."
"Yeah. I remember"
Affirms.
You can't forget. There's no way I can forget. That's everything. It is the backbone of a human named Halberg-Lucion. It was all about him, following his dreams with the light of Leongando. Everything in life.
I bet everything, but I thought I'd make it happen.
"So I had to beat you"
"... what do you mean"
"As it is, you are too dazzled"
Close your eyes.
That's true. It's true. The presence of Leongand became dazzling to Halberg's eyes. It was so dazzling that I couldn't look directly at it.
"Until I thought it was not enough for me as I am to shoulder to shoulder with you and follow my dreams with you"
"... what a fool"
Leongand shakes his head. The look on your face that you don't understand. words and deeds. It would be natural for him to look like that. Neither Hulberg's mood nor his behavioral principles are normal. You can even say it's crazy. I think so myself. That's how you recognize it.
"It's a mess. There's a lot of bullshit. You're an enemy because you don't know if you can stand shoulder to shoulder with me, do you?
"When I have crossed you, I can finally walk with you, with my breasts stretched out"
Yes, I believed it.
That's a sweet fantasy.
I know.
"It's ridiculous"
"Yes."
"You mean you betrayed me, Gandhia, for that matter? You mean you involved the country and the people for that?"
"... for once, I didn't betray Gandhia."
"Did you just follow Gisele Court's request?"
"That's the kind of excuse we have."
"You think that excuse will work?"
"Even if it doesn't work, you can use it."
"... I see"
Leongand gave him the look he was convinced of. Hulberg learns relief. Now even if Hulberg were defeated, there would be no harm done to the people of Lucion. At least there shouldn't be a war between Gandhia and Lucion. Leongand must have used Lucion's excuses well.
"but... na"
Bite it down.
"If that's what you really mean, it's not something I can understand. He said he would put a blade on me to stand shoulder to shoulder with me, and challenge me to battle. There is so much foolishness. If you beat me, so what? You think you reached out to me? Did you think that everything would work out? Ridiculous."
"Yes."
At least, his thoughts can come true.
At least, with your chest up, you'll be able to stand next to him.
At least, I can grab her love in this hand.
"There's no way"
Leongand's words are cold.
"You have become my enemy. He stood as an enemy and pointed the blade. More than that, there's no way I can go back to saying yes because winning or losing has been decided. Did you think I would forgive you? Did you think I would forgive the traitor? Thought I'd forgive my enemies."
Brother-in-law.
"Forgive me."
Halberg felt awed as he looked into the eyes of Leongand's ship.
