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

Episode One Thousand Six Hundred Sixty Three: King of the Forest (Previous)

Run through the depressed and lush woods.

Stroll through the woods with your little legs stretched out to the fullest, jumping like a small animal.

The woods, to her, are like gardens.

It was the place where she was born and raised, and she knew about this forest before she even noticed it. There is no name in the forest. I just call it the forest. That's what everyone calls it, so naturally, she calls it, too.

Forest. Says it's human language.

I don't know the human language very well. Because words are only words, they can only be considered by her. If there's a human word, maybe there's an animal word. Are there worm words, flower words, tree words, and various types of words, and the forest is full of words? Her expectations are repeatedly betrayed.

Because the forest is silent.

In the woods, where diverse species of trees grow, all year round, various small animals and insects inhabit, entertaining her eyes and stimulating intellectual curiosity. It could have been called her routine to observe all day long to find animals and insects she had never even seen. If there's one problem, it's that her free time has been extremely diminished lately. There's more to remember. It's not just words. Beginning with courtesy, we also had to know about the formation of this world and what we were capable of.

That's good.

It also satisfies her desire for knowledge, and more importantly, because it is necessary for her to stand on one of them. It's just that less time to stroll through the woods is just a little boring. During my studies, I even remember being thrilled to learn more.

Second, she lowered her posture when she heard the footsteps of the small animals. Clarify your ears and guess where the little animals are headed. The simultaneous movement of animals who will never be vigilant against her can only mean that something other than her has stepped into this forest.

It could be her chaser.

As she speculated on the direction the intruders were coming from the escape route of the small animals, she climbed softly onto the trees along that route. My body is light. As he dived into the angle, which would not be in the eyes of a human walking on the ground, he cleared his ears in the footsteps of the intruders from outside the woods.

Given the direction, it wasn't her chase. Outside the woods, even outside the woods, it seems to be an intruder from the outside world, and that sparks her curiosity.

She doesn't know the outside world.

A small country behind a closed forest was her birth-grown world, everything in heaven and earth. This forest is a junction that separates the outside world from her, and not something that can be broken into - it should be, but the intruders walk flat under her eyes. Will there be about twenty of them? The group, which somehow gave the atmosphere a gloomy atmosphere, was passing under her eyes, discussing something.

"Steady. Well, that's a shady spot."

The voice of an easy-looking man echoes in the forest of silence.

"I don't like you very much."

"Nevertheless, we're going to be on our feet again and again, so we need you to get used to it"

The other voice, soft. Both look like men. I'm not sure from above, but it looked like there were no women in that group. At least, no one is as fornicating as she well knows.

"Yeah, but come on, me, you need it? I thought you might want to leave it to Ayn."

"What are you talking about? I'm just a staff officer. Sure, it's my role to negotiate, but the other person is the other person, so I need you to go out and represent me."

"I know that. Thank you. It doesn't fit."

"If it doesn't fit, you don't mind if it doesn't, so remember patience"

"... I know, oh"

"I want a little more power than the situation is."

"So rely on him."

"I'm ready to join hands with anyone to protect my country."

"They're demon kings. We're ex-Gandia soldiers. I don't think you'll be able to negotiate."

"Before that, we were ex-Logners."

"I don't even think the Demon King will listen to me like that. He hated Gandhia. I'm pretty sure Gandhia was lucky to have been missed then"

"That's true, though. That's why I'm not giving up. Because I survived. We will survive to the end."

"Whoa, you're motivated. That's the father of one child!

"Don't tear it up. I'm angry."

The other responded quietly to a voice that seemed to be angry as he put it.

"... even I know. If His Majesty doesn't help us at all, we have no future."

She listened to the people going under her eyes and felt her curiosity filled, albeit unclear by the way.

Let's hear their conversation for a while now.

She flew across the trees and followed them, thinking that way.

November of the continental calendar five hundred and fifty years.

Approximately two years after the devastating catastrophe “Great Destruction” that shook the entire continent, the world changed dramatically.

Changes had also occurred in the environment surrounding Yubel.

Firstly, the most important change would have been the revelation to the public of the country of his ruling Lewdies. Even the magicians of the third kingdom, who separated themselves from the outside world, did not know what reason that was due to. It is presumed that it was probably due to the effects of “great destruction," but that was not certain either.

The third kingdom lost its meaning, and the magicians were relieved of their duties and put to sleep, but that is a different story.

After the disappearance of the third-place junction, the forest surrounding the country became a barrier separating the inner and outer worlds. Numerous Imperial Demons live in the woods. The Imperial Devil is the natural enemy of mankind. There are no human beings closer to the royal demon's nesting forest.

No, in the first place, it's not the kind of thing that makes the world worse after the Great Destruction. A fool without a fate, or desperate for the status quo in this world, either way, as long as it has a decent sensibility. It would be the status quo that what can or does not keep us sane often leans shoulder to shoulder in settlements inhabited by humans and somehow spends that day. There is no way out of the settlement until we commit a danger.

The "Great Destruction” caused tremendous damage to the Wargrain continent.

An unprecedented catastrophe that hit the Wargrain continent.

The heavens broke, and the earth tore apart, and flames erupted above the bottom of the earth, and sea water flowed between the earth and the earth, breaking the connection between the earth and the earth. The continent split apart. The area formerly known as the group of small nations, as well as the territory of the three major forces, may have become fragmented. Few countries have the means to cross vast oceans. In particular, the countries belonging to the group of small States, sometimes inland, would have been too fragile and poor to be available as a means of crossing the oceans, even if river ships were the ones that could be prepared.

Even the three main forces facing the ocean could not have prepared the ship immediately and rolled it out.

“Great destruction” did not just tear the earth apart. It struck a decisive wedge into a number of countries that were equal to dying. Numerous nations perished by a wedge in the name of doom, and many lives were scattered. Humans are not just birds and beasts either. There were countless Imperial Demons who died as a result of the "Great Destruction".

Only a few survivors try to stand shoulder to shoulder, and it's like the world is trying to survive healthy.

Under such circumstances, no one is insane enough to approach the Imperial Devil's lurking forest.

Most importantly, even if the Imperial Devil doesn't kill you, it is the current state of this world that one and the Devil will die for another reason.

By “great destruction”, the world suffered devastating damage, but it did not perish. More importantly, not many survivors.

But it was no exaggeration to say that the world continues to be exposed to a devastating disaster.

As long as they continue to exist that are of a fundamentally different nature to those living in this world, as long as they continue to wield ferocity, the future of this Illus Valle will remain closed to dark clouds.

Perhaps man and the Imperial Demon have no other choice but to wait for their demise with every living creature in this world.

It was such a desperate world, but his surroundings were rather lively.

Yubel lives in the kingdom of the Imperial Demon Lewdies, as mentioned above. It is a country ruled by Lyudzies' queen Lyudzies, who once assumed he would have ruled by alien powers, and said more than five thousand Lyudzies lived in the height of their lives.

Numerous Lyudys sprinkled their lives in the Kruselk war that Yubel waged to destroy the Gandhian royal family. As a result, Lyudzis, who currently live in this country, has been depressed to about a thousand and two hundred, and it was Lyudzika's intention to maintain this number at least until the divisive period. Yubel had accepted that, and had no intention of reducing the Lewdies any further. I just don't have to commit the foolishness of throwing the Lewdies into battle.

For a demon king who had no ambition, it was too much to rule the land of Leudice, named Mekidsar.

Mechidsar. It means the Devil's Forest in ancient language, and when it once existed in the Kruselk territory, it was called so by one of the Kruselks, who said that Queen Llusca liked its sound and made it a country name. Lyuska must have been intrigued by humans from then on.

After the Krüselk war, Yubel was invited to Mekidsar by Lüska, who gave him the throne. Although Yubel said no because the queen of Lyudiz was Lyuska, Lyuska had no choice but to accept because she did not back down because she wanted Yubel to rule. Since then, Mechidsar has been under the rule of Yubel the Demon King.

Initially, it was a country just for the Lewdies.

Lewdies is a race that doesn't like to fight. Locked in a small country behind the woods, love nature such as flowers and trees, sing songs and sing peace. It was unfortunate to draw another Imperial Demon into the dwellings of such witches, and at the time, he had already put the Demon King out of business, and had not brought him here as a whole Imperial Demon.

However, after the “Great Destruction”, the Imperial Demon who visited Mechidsar from the outside world continued when the third-place junction could not be maintained. First, a small herd of Imperial Demon Bleaks have asked permission to live in the woods. The Bleaks seemed to decide that they were an extremely vulnerable species in the Imperial Devil and could not live without the protection of the Demon King. Yubel acknowledged it after a meeting with the Lyuskas.

Then the Imperial Demons of another race, who heard of its reputation, pressed ahead with us. Resbell, Bethbell, Buhmatz, etc.

“The Great Destruction” also led to the destruction of the ideas of the Imperial Demons, who should not have relied on other races otherwise.

I would not otherwise accept any race other than the Lewdies within Mechidsar, but the situation is the situation. The Yubels decided to set up a new settlement for them and let them live there.

Then Mekidsar became the kingdom of the Imperial Devil, not the kingdom of the Lewdies.

Yubel became the Demon King, both in fame, and also made adjustments between races and disputes. Armored as well. It is a reconstitution of the Demon King's Army.

Yubel's policy of not wanting to add the Ryudies to the force of war was overshadowed by Ryuska. As the queen of Lyudys, Lyuska ordered her daughters to join the Demon King's Army. Mekidosar is originally the land of the Lewdies. Then it was Lyuska's idea that Lyudys should be the main force of the Demon King's Army, the army of Mekidsar, and Yubel had to shut up about its stubbornness, and could not deny her thoughts.

When the Demon King's Army was established, although Mekidsar showed signs of noise, there was not a significant change in the life of the Lewdies themselves.

Peace was preserved even in Mechidsar, which was transformed into the capital of the Imperial Devil.

The peace of mind of Mekidsar would be preserved if it did not even become something that would put its power on the outside world. That's what he believes.

Outside the window, the sun is high and you can see a clear blue sky. “The Great Destruction” has dramatically changed the world, but that's not why the world is over. The sun climbs and sets. Daily life is consumed in its repetition, and days have passed that are no different than before.

However, that routine may well come to an end.

He felt tight by putting his sleeves through his back.

"Yubel, have you changed?

"Oh. You're right."

Yubel turned her back and showed her the costume she was coming. Ethereal courtesy is hand-knitted by Lyudys, Lyuska's “daughters”. I was just impressed with the dexterity of the Lewdies' hands, but I had put my sleeves through my liturgical outfit a long time ago, and I felt so weird. Everyday clothing is extremely simple. He is not so foolish as to be conceited because he is the Demon King.

"Ugh. Looks good, Yubel, after all"

"You're more beautiful than usual."

"Glad"

That's how the full-fledged grin Lewdies looked like something more beautiful to him than this. It's nothing to flatter. It's a sincere word, a thought.

Liudice is an Imperial Demon who looks a lot like a human being. It has five bodies, it is bipedal, and the noticeable nose can be called the human being itself. Bright white hair on blue skin with a distinctive pair of horns growing over both ears. Like other Imperial Demons, the fact that there were no eyeballs had succeeded in reducing the sense of alienation by magically reproducing the eyes in the case of Rhuska. That was what Rhuska did voluntarily, and I guess her desire to get a little closer to Yubel made her do so.

Lyuska was not ruled by Yubel's alien powers, but a rare imperial demon who was following him with personal emotions. And her presence has led to one possibility for Uberle. And that possibility is approaching certainty by years of life in Mekidsar.

Can man and the Imperial Devil coexist?

At the very least, if you are an Imperial Demon with intelligence and the ability to solve a human language, you should be able to negotiate without having to go through Yubel's alien powers. Though I thought so, that's why I didn't intend to invite humans into Mekidsar.

Man instinctively hates the Imperial Devil. Because memories of natural enemies stained with blood resurrect the moment they see the Imperial Devil, evoking fear and rejection. And it's the same with the Imperial Devil. The Imperial Devil also hates humans. For the Imperial Demons, visitors from different worlds, there is no reason to treat humans gently trying to eliminate them from this world. Except for special provisions like Lyuska, it's impossible that the Imperial Devil doesn't attack humans, etc.

So even if we can possibly understand each other, we must also take into account that the road to realisation is far away.

With that in mind, Yubel watched with love the figure of Lyuska in the costume she deserved as Lady Demon King. Lyuska then dyed her cheeks and embarrassed herself. He thinks it's troublesome because such a trick fills Yubel's heart with love.

At that time, there was something that knocked lightly on the door of the costume room.

"Master Yubel, Master Lyuska"

It is the deacon, Nonol, who has called reluctantly from the outdoors. You must have known if you had seen Llusca go indoors earlier. So, in case you consider the possibility, you must have lurked your voice.

I have to laugh bitterly that it's an extra favor, but that's also one of the reasons why I left her as deacon. Lewdies and humans have different cultures. Many places look disheartening from a human point of view. But it seemed that there was a society of Lewdies, and Yubel did not intend to impose the human way. Even if it was a human society, Kruselk, Mekidsar was still the land of Leudice. Follow the town if you enter it. Yubel is the one who should imitate the way the Imperial Demon does, and he is so far going to behave as the Imperial Demon.

"Everyone from Lognoll has arrived at the hall."

"Right. I'm not sorry to keep you waiting. Let's try to hurry."

"Yes, sir"

Lyuska, so to speak, has happily intertwined his arms. I don't feel bad. Regardless, I can't show it in front of the guests, but it would be nice to walk with your arms together to the reception room.

When I left the costume room, Nonol was waiting. Long among the Lewdies, she had a good physique and a style as a warrior. In fact, she was one of the few Lyudys who fought and survived the Kruselk war, and the right corner was broken in the middle, to say the least, as a testament to that. The Allied armed summoner beat me to death, so I'm not lucky I didn't die. No matter how much the Imperial Devil encountered an armed summoner, there was no way it could just be done.

Proceed down the hallway with various reports from Nonol. The warrior deacon was ordered to divide up everything in this hall, and he played a role without undue shortage. Her report was also well-reasoned, and Yubel was satisfied. There are not many things that can play such a role in Lewdies.

Speaking of which, I don't see Luca.

"That's..."

By her apparently bewildered look, I perceive the circumstances.

"Also, you escaped"

As Yubel sighed, Lyuska laughed by the way.

"Luca, you're a grandmother."

"Not every laugh."

"It's a good idea. Because Luca is loved by the woods."

Whatever Lyuska says will be in vain, more than anything she is worried about. Yubel tried to give up everything and restored consciousness to her guests.

The true king of these woods is Luska.
