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

Lesson One Thousand Five Hundred and Ten Site Surveys (IV)

Through the hall where we fought with the flock of breeks, a long passage continued.

The members of the investigation team have been pondering for some time whether the earlier hall should be used as a relay point for the investigation, but a decision has been made that there is also a bleak corpse, blood trail and a dead odor, which is not appropriate for the relay point. You won't be able to relay anything for as long as you don't get rid of the body or the blood trail.

Besides, it hasn't been an hour since we entered the ruins.

If we're going to make a relay point, we should have gone a little further. We don't even know if we need a relay point yet. Maybe it's a small ruin that you don't even have to go that far. The ruins of a buried civilization are excavated all over the continent, but they vary in size, with some ruins as vast as cities, and others as just one room.

The members of the survey team assume that the relay point is the scale required because of the immensity of the gate, which is the entrance to and exit from this site, and Will and the others also see that it will probably be true.

Setuna's hearing, enhanced by black spears, was also aware that this main road stretched quite deep, with spaces like the hall ahead. And his ears also capture the fact that there are so many sounds in that hall that they are not comparable to the earlier bleaks.

Setsuna urged the Milius to be vigilant, as well as to be vigilant himself.

Eventually, all the way to the hall, it turns out that countless breeks were just nesting there. There was a nest.

"The" nest ”is said to have different shapes depending on the species of the Imperial Demon. Perhaps that's Bleek's nest."

That was what Miliu found out by pointing out. Without an indication from Miliu, Setuna would not have recognized it as a “nest” of bleaks. I may have recognized it as an odd object I discovered in the ruins. So much so that it was an unimaginable substitute from the word “nest”. Something mesh crawling through floors and walls. It was oddly blinking the red light, and when I looked closely, it seemed pulsating. And there was a sphere-shaped mass everywhere, protected by a flock of bleaks, and it was like an egg. I've heard of Bleek as a raw egg.

"Did the messenger's forest bleak come out of here?"

"That's what you're talking about."

Rem nods.

Nevertheless, the entrance and exit where Setuna and the others came in were buried in the earth. If the bleak that appeared in the forest of messengers had come from this nest, it must mean that there was a separate entrance and exit, from which it was out on the ground.

"Then destroy the nest."

"But in the ruins..."

"Oh, my God."

Elsewhere with Will's worries, Setuna and the others jumped into the hall to destroy the nest and hit a flock of bleaks.

The hall was even larger than earlier. In a square hall, there were columns in the center. It seems that the columns are also made of the same material as the walls and floors, and the bleak seemed to form a "nest” around the columns. Something strange in the form of a mesh crawls from pillar to ceiling to floor or wall. Countless bleaks have been simultaneously intimidating, but they don't show how to use the power generating organs on the back. It's a “nest," and there's probably an egg.

An attack that could involve an egg can't.

Meanwhile, Setuna and the others never cared. Instead, he launched an attack to actively involve the eggs, killing the Imperial Demons. Inside the “nest" was lurking an intense breek compared to the others, making sure it was protected by countless breeks, but Setuna killed it without difficulty. It's not a black spear that takes lag like a bleak. When the giant bleak died, the brightness of the "nest” stopped.

"Probably the lord of this“ nest ""

After the breakout, Will walked into the hall, examining the remains of a giant breakout. As the smell of blood and death can stand in, the members of the investigation team look at each other and shake their heads. Again, it cannot be used for relay points. To use it, the "nest” must be removed and the body must also be disposed of.

"Lord of the" nest "...?

"Whether it's a bleak, or other imperial demons, it's said that building a“ nest ”is a special individual with mighty abilities. They call them lords, kings, queens, etc."

"I see. That individual makes a child out of a“ nest "..."

"It can vary greatly from species to species."

When Will let go of his hand from the Lord of Bleek, he stood up and looked at this one. The human specific sharp eye of the intelligence department is comfortable for Setsuna.

"We collectively refer to them as Imperial Demons, but they're not all the same race in the same world. It's just that almost every Imperial Demon is known to build a nest."

"Heh..."

"You look extremely close to people like Lewdies and Lewfubbs, and you think you're ecological, and even the Imperial Devil creates a" nest, "and you make a child."

Listening to Will's lecture on the Imperial Devil, Setuna and the others resumed their search for the ruins.

The mystery about the creature, collectively referred to as the Imperial Demon, rather only deepened. A wide variety of alien creatures. Even so, what does it mean for everyone to build a "nest” and become a child? It is said that it is only to be lumped together with the Imperial Demon, because it is very similar in composition, or is there an entirely different reason, and that has not yet been elucidated.

The Imperial Devil has appeared for more than five hundred years.

Humanity uses the Imperial Demon as its natural enemy, but it does research.

There are many different kinds of Imperial Demons.

He said that some species are like small beasts like bleaks, some are insect-shaped imperial demons, and others are like those located between beasts and humans. There are imperial demons like synthetic beasts, as well as species described as the iconic ghosts of Resbel, species extremely close to humans like Ryudies and Ryuhubs. It is apparent after years of research that they are separate species, and they also know that each has a hostile relationship.

It was said that those imperial demons appeared about five hundred years ago, when the Holy Emperor Miendia Raegnus-Wargrain made the summons of the gods, so that they could be dragged by the gods, and Setsuna was also well aware of the story that somehow, after the gods disappeared, they began to attack humanity.

"Can't you hear the noise anymore?

"... oh"

Setuna nodded at Sheila's inquiry and cleared her ears again. What you hear echoing in your ears is the sound of the survey group treading on the floor of the aisle, the sound of clothes rubbing, the sound of breathing. Nothing else.

"At least it looks like there's no Imperial Demon or any other creature within reach of my hearing."

In addition, the possibility that the Imperial Demon's Nest was somewhere else was denied by Will and others. The fact that there was one “nest” meant that it no longer existed around it. A “nest” of the Imperial Demon is the center of a dominant area, and when another “nest” is built in that dominant area, it seems to be contentious, even if it is the same species. Most importantly, it doesn't get to the point of killing each other, and one of them is going to get rid of the other.

"Maybe more rational than human beings in that regard"

In Will's sarcastic remarks, there's nothing more to it than to float your consent. It is obvious given the difference between what the Imperial Demon claims to be a dominant area by means of a "nest” and what the human being claims to be a territory or national territory.

Humans kill each other in territorial takeovers.

It is Setuna and the others who are driven out for that killing. This hand is soiled with blood for it, and the black spear is sucking so much that it sucks too much blood for it. If man is as rational and intelligent as the Imperial Devil, can everything be resolved in discussion?

"It's a scary creature."

"Totally."

Whereas Miliu and Sheila did not deny Will's irony, he flaunted his shoulders.

"No."

"What?

"No, I hope Master Setsuna doesn't know what it feels like to be told that..."

"Ha."

Setsuna doesn't want to give back a bitter smile.

"We're just people, too."

Perhaps I tell you, aware that it may not look that way to Will and the others. Will and the others are still witnessing the battle of Setuna.

"If you get stabbed in the stomach, you're just gonna die."

Memories of being stabbed in the flank and wandering the frontier of life and death pass through the back of your brain. Miliu followed its flank with his finger.

"I don't think it's pimpy."

"Speaking of which, your husband, you've been stabbed in the stomach about twice, haven't you?

"I knew Setuna wasn't a monster."

"Setuna is a monster?

Urk reacts to Sheila's lame words. I can't imagine what she thought from her expression or voice at all.

"What, my treatment, isn't that too bad?

When Setsuna blurs, Miliu looks up at me and smiles at me.

"It doesn't matter if Setsuna's a monster, does it?

"That's right. For me, your master is your master."

"Setsuna is Setsuna"

"Well, yeah."

"... damn, what the hell"

Setuna stopped her legs as she became an indescribable face to their reaction.

"What's up?

It also doesn't answer Sheila's question of stopping her leg, and gets her ears done. Enhanced hearing captures the echoes of shoe sounds and voices, but the way the sound was returned showed that there was a wide space at the end of the aisle. Plus, I can see that it's apparently a dead end. Setuna looked back at Will.

"This is the end of the line."

"Stop, is it?"

"I can tell by the sound echoes. Do you want to turn back?

"... no, even at the end of the day, I want to make sure for once"

Will came, looking into Setuna's eyes.

"If it means a sound echo, there's a chance that the door or gate is just closed, right?

He was certainly right.

And in fact, it was Will-Weed's idea that was the right answer.

The vast space at the end of the aisle was not just a dead end, it was closed by a huge gate.
