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

Episode One Thousand Six Hundred Seventy Seven In A Cursed World (I)

December of the continental calendar five hundred and fifty years.

Iles Valle celebrated its third convenient December from “Great Destruction”.

The Great Destruction occurred on the 27th of November, five hundred and three years of the continental calendar.

The outbreak of “Great Destruction” dramatically changed the world.

It destroyed only one continent in this world, smashing it in pieces.

She is burning the sight of the world being torn apart into its eyes.

The sight of the light emanating from the vicinity of Gandion, king of Gandia, spreading towards the entire continent. It was too beautiful and too desperate a scene. Light was never tired of ravaging the earth, destroying, tearing it apart, and keeping it away from ever coming back.

That day, the world changed shape.

It was so bullshit that I couldn't figure out the shape I was supposed to be, I screwed up. The continents have been divided into several islands and several continents, and the sea has completely divided them.

Listening to the blasting sound of firewood, her eyes watched the light that destroyed the world, not the flames that pierced the dark night. I was looking at the memory of burning to the retina.

Some said the light of “great destruction” was God's judgment. The most desperate God in the world gave the final judgment. There will be no salvation for those who survive, and there will be an immediate further divine punishment, etc.

Alternatively, some spoke of the theory that “great destruction” was due to the battle of the gods. Once summoned to the world by the Holy King, the final war in which the emperor gods clashed tore the world apart.

Such delusions and fantasies were pragmatically whispered and believed that the unprecedented natural mutation of "great destruction” was hopeless and difficult to comprehend.

She doesn't understand the truth herself.

No, you're not.

I don't know if what she understands is true.

A lot of information is swirling through my head. The immense knowledge, memory, thoughts, and crying that Leviath's "knowledge” brings. Voices flood and echo. It sounds multiple and keeps ringing infinitely. I was going crazy. No, maybe it's already crazy. As long as I objectively viewed myself as being driven by the urge to stick my hands stretched out into the fire, there seemed to be no mistake in seeing it as crazy.

The burning flames that burned red the darkness of the night seemed to grin her like that.

"Dear Miliu,"

I heard her voice, and she looked up all the time. Turning around, a man and a woman in a cold suit looked at this one with a worrying look on their face. She can't understand why I have to be given that look.

"Let us be vigilant and it's time to rest"

"That's right, Master Miliu. You must be tired."

"Tired?"

Raising the question mark, the man and woman looked at each other. They both looked like they were in trouble. I don't know why, but I perceived that I was the one who was putting the two in trouble, and she stood up from before the burning.

"Yes...... right. I'll give you a break."

"Do so"

"We'll take care of the rest!

Trying to get her back pressed by a healthy woman's voice, she headed to bed. The bunk, I remember. One of the tents in the camp is their bunk. There were five tents in all, the most splendid of them all. I guess it's because she's the captain of this investigation team.

Miliu-Levaire went to their own tent, confirming that in their brains. From time to time, I feared the possibility that if I didn't check my memory that way, I would bury it deep in my memory with obscurity and not come to life as it was. Even though, my memory is getting worse. That's probably also why the names don't match the faces of the crew in this investigation team. I was worried that the fact that I even forgot what I should remember as captain wouldn't disturb the crew.

I couldn't help but worry about it, and it would be a mistake to leave her with the captain of the investigation team for lack of manpower.

So, Miliu tilts his little neck. On the hill at night, the cold wind rocked her hair.

(Did you volunteer?

I don't think that's possible, while I've also felt like I was, and the confusion in her has grown ever bigger. What is right and what is wrong? If you want to know the right answer, all you have to do is ask the crew or your apprentice, but she had to reluctant it.

She also has a position.

Miliu was leading this investigation team as one of the seven heavenly samurai serving the goddess of war. The crew are a selection of armed summoners promoted from Lyohan's Guardian Peak Samurai, and she is in the position she deserves to be commander of such an investigation team.

I can't show you the weak spot.

Upon entering the tent, the darkness waited, but thanks to the eyes accustomed to the darkness of the night, I could enter the bunk without any problems. A thick blanket. Then I heard a gentle sleep right from the side.

Regular sleep calms her mind. It sinks the confusion and keeps away the numerous voices that flood in my head. That is much by the Lord of Sleeping and Breathing. Sleeping in the same tent as her is a girl who just plugged into her late teens.

Elina-Carone.

He was the only disciple of Miliu.

Miliu closed his eyes as he listened to Elina's sleep.

Realizing the happiness of being able to sleep in peace, and thanking Elina.

When I noticed, my eyes were awake.

I didn't dream. How tired were you, or are you no longer sensitive enough to dream? Either way, that awakening was not necessarily pleasant for Miliu. Rather, it's hard and painful, as usual.

Because with awakening, a flood of voices pushes through my head. A completely different kind of sound than the one your ear picks up. It only resonates in my head, numerous voices. It is no exaggeration to say that while Miliu was awake, the hustle and bustle were getting worse by the day.

"You're awake, master!

To his energetic voice, Miliu turned his face. Outside the tent, the sunlit chestnut hair was brilliant.

"Morning, Elina"

Miliu greeted her back with the realization that she could live thanks to Elina's smile and slowly stretched out. Elina's voice blows the voice out of my head. That was the only salvation. And that's why Miliu couldn't let her go.

If she loses one of her loved ones now, even Elina, this time she will not be able to endure Leviath's "knowledge" and will end up with a monster who wants to die.

The investigation team led by Miliu is one of the platoons of the Royal Mountain Survey Team, organized by the Mountain Protection Conference governing Lyohan and the draft of the Guardian Peak Samurai Corps.

Six months after the “Great Destruction" - that is, about a year and a half ago now, the voice that Lyohan's perimeter survey should be conducted - was prompted by the rise to the Mountain Protection Conference, and the Guardian Peak Samurai agreed, and seven platoons were formed, each captained by seven Great Heavenly Samurais. Nevertheless, the Seven Squads will not open Lyohan at the same time. Even when on the investigation mission at the same time, many were up to three squads, and four of the seven great heavenly samurai were bound to remain in Lyohan.

Though Lyohan is protected by the Guardian Order, he does not know what will happen. In order to stabilize people's hearts, the presence of Lyohan's guardian angel, the Seven Great Heavenly Samurai, is important. It is unacceptable for everyone to leave Lyohan.

An ongoing out-of-town survey conducted for about a year and a half had allowed Lyohan to get an accurate picture of the current situation around him. The terrain, dramatically altered by the Great Destruction, has transformed the area around Lyohan into a sight as if it were a different world. It was something Miliu didn't know about the sights before the “Great Destruction," but he understood as much as the terrain around Lyohan and around the area had become unusual.

Deeply carved cracks in the earth, walls of white crystals as if they had erupted from the ground, crystallized forests - in various places we were seeing sights that had never been seen before. Especially the likeness of a wall of white crystals is seen everywhere around Lyohan, who sees it likely to have erupted from the cracks of the earth, Lyohan examines.

White crystalline walls can also be seen from the hilltops where Miliu's investigation team camped. It is unclear what a huge wall means enough to rush through heaven and what it exists for. It's just terrain, maybe it doesn't make any sense.

Looking back to the northeast, I could see the harshness of Mount Lyov lying ahead of the sumptuous horizon. There are also many crystalline walls and columns of crystals to reach there, as well as deep fractures carved into the earth.

More than ten days have already passed since the investigation team left Lyohan. This can also be described as an achievement because it has taken a year and a half to expand the survey area. but I also have food issues that I can carry and I know from my subordinates' reports that up to today is the limit.

"Nothing in particular. Then you won't want to go home."

As Miliu sighed, her disciple rushed over with his binoculars in one hand.

"That's not true! Master!"

"I wonder what?

"It's behind that forest!

"Yeah?"

Only energy got no guidelines in Elina's statement of the handle, and Miliu received a binoculars from her and peeked in. In the view from the top of the hill, the forest pointed out by Elina lies to the southwest. The forest, crystallized up to the middle, sparkled as if snow had fallen in the morning sun. Turning to the back of the woods, I understand at a glance what Elina wanted to do. A settlement. There was a settlement where one would have lived.

When she took her eyes off the binoculars, she looked back behind her back. My men are beginning to withdraw the camp quickly.

"Hey, was there a settlement in the woods near Lyohan?

"A settlement in the woods, is it?

"Never heard of it."

"Yes... right?

Miliu saw the surprise reaction of his men before peeking into the binoculars again. Behind the crystallized forest, I do see some people present. I'm sure there are settlements where one would have lived, but as far as Miliu's memory goes, no such settlement existed near Lyohan. In the first place, it is difficult to believe that it exists, not just in the vicinity of Lyohan, such as a settlement not surrounded by walls. The only way to escape the threat of the Imperial Devil is to hide within a thick wall. But the settlement behind the forest did not appear to be surrounded by walls blocking the Imperial Devil.

If the Great Destruction destroyed the wall, the house must have collapsed as well. The trees of the forest must also be drunk by their destruction and fall. I didn't see anything like that. Unnaturally enough.

"Is there a settlement?

"Yeah. I do. Behind that forest."

Milu took a map of the area around Lyohan out of his backpack when he handed the binoculars to his men.

"I will!

It was Elina who insisted abruptly.

"I discovered it!

"That's my disciple, Elina"

"Eh."

Looking at her sideways, Elina had her chest stretched out to win something. Isn't Miliu the only one who knows that many of her words and deeds up to her intense are deliberate? Watching the crew react flashly to that, I think. Elina is deliberately acting bright. Ever since the Great Destruction. All the time, I keep acting so bright that it's too bright. Always smiling, always cheerful, always vivid - as if that were a symbol indicating a girl named Elina-Carone.

I guess that's the only way to face this desperate reality.

“The Great Destruction" left a great scar on the world, but also a deep scar that could not be wiped off the heart of one of the surviving. Everyone is hurt, everyone is exhausted and everyone is afraid to face the pain.

Everyone is desperate for something.

Even Elina, I'm sure.

Miliu waited for his men to withdraw their tents and finish their preparations, making sure that no settlement presence could be found on the map either.

"This time, let's end with that forest survey"

The less than ten crew members nodded majestically, Miliu said.
