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

"About Halbert, right?"

Sid was listening to his voice, holding Shivula's hand tightly.

"… I was entrusted with his education, which came into the Knights after the revolution. It must have been appreciated that I had trained my lords and many knights. It was a troubled story, but I undertook. Captain's orders. There's no way I can say no. Besides, I cared about the prince."

Shivula's eyes were clear at all times.

"He was in the same spot as Sir on the day of the revolution."

Was it about ten years ago?

To sweep away the corruption of Benoagard, the revolution led by Fairling Zan-Kreuth dyed the king's capital, Benoa, and Castle Benoa, with blood red. Let's deny the previous system and lay down a new one. If the former institutional side could not respond in silence, it was inevitable to try to intercept the revolutionaries by asking for the power of numbers. Nature, there will be a battle. A knight and a knight collide. There was no way I couldn't bleed.

The massive amount of blood dyed red of the Wang capital is a necessary price to pay if we let the revolutionaries speak, a noble sacrifice for nation-led nation-building, but not from the parties.

Sid was one of the parties.

Sid's father, Zig Zan-Rufaus, a Knights executive and powerful man, and his real brother, Singh, are in the hands of the revolutionaries and are dead. Sid couldn't complain if he was killed, either. Sid also confronted and attacked the revolutionaries. I guess it was just the whim of failing to kill me.

Sid still remembers the sight of his father and brother being killed in front of him. My father and brother died lightly. My father and brother, who were supposed to be excellent swordsmen, were killed without the skill to exchange. I'm just saying that a knight of the failing ring clan was a bunch of non-standard prowess, but the sight of that moment, burned to the retina, will last a lifetime, you won't forget. And that's what got Sid in the way.

Vengeance towards the failing faction underpinned Sid's mind after the revolution.

He began failing, agreeing with the revolution, and tried to kill as soon as he allotted or killed those who worked. I gathered comrades for that, and I worked out a plan. Comrades are Bain Belbail Zan-Lanacourt and two of Rowfa Zan-Seivas.

Assassination plot by just three people.

I made up my mind, but I ended up failing.

"Sir, by moving into action and failing, he understood his stupidity and was able to face the weakness of his heart. That is why Sir's chivalry, blinking, beautiful"

"If only Sir Suor had taught me."

"... I'm glad to hear it."

"Words, etc."

"No... if you look at his example, you'll see. I wonder how helpless and incompetent I was."

"You think I failed to educate Halbert?

"A little... different"

Shivula shook her head. It seemed to that extent that I had finally moved my body. But he talked a lot. I guess I'm going to squeeze the remaining force and pass it on to Sid.

"I tried to be his good understander. He lost his family in front of him like Sir. He is the only one who survived the royal family. Only he was allowed to survive. That's because Fayle knew he hated corruption more than his ex did. I guess Fayle tried to keep Benoagard's mess to a minimum by keeping him alive. It's the last royalty. It's worth it."

It seemed like Sid's guess as to why the revolutionaries who tried to kill no one left behind the royalty kept Hulberto alive. The revolutionaries believed that the Benoagard royal family, the cause that gave birth to the hotbed of corruption, should be wiped out of the world in order to purify Benoagard from corruption. Fairling took the lead in it, killing everything that would bring him to the Benoagard royal family. It reached newborn babies, young and old alike. Yet one Hulberto survived without wonder. If we are to destroy the Benoagard royal family, shouldn't we also kill Hulberto, who has the right to inherit the throne?

With surviving Hulberto immediately expressing the legitimacy of the Knights' revolution and announcing his joining the Knights, Sid felt competing. By the declaration of will of Hulberto, the last prince of the kingdom of Benoagard, the revolutionary justice was guaranteed and the people were also able to rejoice in the name of the success of the revolution.

"He knew the value of his use, too. I should have joined the Knights. It seemed like it was to make me use the Knights a lot. He wanted the revolution by the Knights to succeed and Benoagard to recover from corruption."

"Yes. Hulberto is a good man."

"Oh. He's a good man. He was a good man."

Eyes looking far away. It's like Hulberto isn't like that right now. Big expression. Sid doesn't know what Hulberto looks like right now. The last time Sid saw Hulberto was over a year and a half ago. Shortly before he disobeyed the Knights, he lamented and suffered the tragedy of Benoagard after the “Great Destruction”. Most of all, Hulberto was not the only one who was suffering. Sid, too, has to be heartbroken by the fact that even Bain, Rowfa, Luveris and Shivula couldn't protect Benoa from the "Great Destruction" or by the reality of losing Fairling and others.

"I followed my harsh teachings without a single cry. Whenever you were behind me, you listened to me. Even if it's unreasonable. If that was the way to a true knight, and one disgusting face. I think I was educating him while educating myself. He was a man like a mirror."

He was exactly popular when he was named Hulberto Zan-Benoagard. Originally, he had a reputation for being decent in the royal family since he was a prince. Because of its popularity and its bright and equal treatment of everyone, it is good to say that popularity within and outside the Knights is the highest among the Knights. Like a mirror, it would be odd to say. When I was dealing with him, I even had that feeling that the ugliness inside me would be washed away. Neither did Sid, he hated Hulberto. Both Bain and Rowfa were doing well with him. Hulberto was close to all the cavalry executives with a lot of difficult humans and yet acted as a lubricant-like presence.

Such a person.

As one, there was no way to imagine Hulberto betraying the Knights over this period and focusing on rebuilding the Royal Benoagard.

"But... no, that's why. I could not realize his true intentions. I was the only one in the mirror named him."

"The heart of Hulberto..."

"Nor was he pleased with the death of his kinsman"

To that word of Shivula, Sid raised his face. Shivula is looking at the night sky.

"Naturally. Even though he lamented political corruption and wanted reform, transformation of Benoagard, there can be no such thing as wanting the death of his parents and brothers. It was he who was trying to lift his kinsman from corruption and take a new path with him. I didn't want a bloody revolution."

Hulberto is a good man. From the time of his prince, his parents were known for taking care of their sisters, sisters and kinsmen, regardless. Perhaps he was the only one in the iconic royal family of corruption who remained popular because such family thoughts were not seen by other royalties. The royalty was just like flirting over a rotten foundation called Benoagard.

"He would have suffered. It would have been hard. Still, I had to rejoice that the revolution would restore Benoagard and open the people from desperate rule by the royal family. Because that's what he wanted. I guess there was no way to keep myself apart from acknowledging the Knights who revolutionized and slaughtered my parents and brothers"

Imagine the inside of Hulberto, I don't want to think it would have been painful.

"By joining the Knights, learning chivalry, and affirming himself as a knight, he may have tried to turn away from the bloody revolution, from the death of his parents and brothers. I don't know what the truth is... but the only thing I can say is that I couldn't save him"

"Sir Suor......"

"He is still being held prisoner in the past. I am bound by the phantoms of the past that I should have limited myself to. He no longer received my word. I've been there many times... but I didn't have the ear to listen."

"So why did you go to Halbert?"

"It was I who made him go the wrong way"

Shivula has been staring at Sid. Clear eyes were filled with deep regret and suffering.

"My teachings pushed him forward"

I'm talking about Shivula Zan-Suor's chivalry. Shivula's thought, philosophy, readiness, and possession learned by many knights, including Sid. What should I do as a knight? What is a clean living as a knight like? Live vividly. Do not give up until you die. Be one of the most beautiful of hearts. And once you decide, you should do it through to the end, -.

Sid noticed his vision shaking as he remembered various things he had learned from Shivula. My eyeballs are strangely hot. Whether or not the tears are starting to spill like that because you realize that Shivula's voice is getting weaker.

"It's my fault. That is why I must take it on. If I do not fulfill my responsibilities…"

"Is that what follows Hulberto?"

"... no"

Shivula, encouraging her voice, denied it. And I'm going to tell you something unexpected.

"I believe that my death will lead me to his awakening, which is gentle in heart"

"Mr. Shivula!

"Mr. Sid. I was happy to have a student like you. Please, I want you to save Halbert. What, I can be you"

Shivula laughed. The smile that squeezed the last force seemed too powerless and obnoxious.

"Thus he saved me -"

When the force completely fell out of Shivula's hand, it gained weight. Sid watched as his will was lost and vanished from Shivula's eyes, holding his hand tight. I didn't have to. It was self-evident reason that Shivula's life would burn out. No matter how much we do from here, we can't let him survive. The flesh is safe. But my life was about to run out.

This is how the battle with the true body ends.

True bodies are like arming souls. That's what it means to be rescued. The bump of salvation is the sharpening of the soul, and if the soul is sharpened, even if the flesh is health itself, it dies. The soul is extinguished and life activities cease.

Sid meditated quietly as he closed Shivula's open eyelid with his fingers.

We knew that Shivula had taken into account his death in the hands of the Sids. If Shivula is serious about dropping the Stra Fortress from the start, just attack me with your true body. That way we can destroy the fortress, even if we cannot kill the Sids. But he didn't. By storming from a short distance, we informed Sid and tried to intercept our attack. That's nothing other than that I was thinking ahead of time about losing.

Nevertheless, you can also see that Shivula was not out of hand in the battle with Sid because Sid's soul is being driven to a near-death state. Shivula would have thought that while taking into account that he would die, he wouldn't mind destroying the Sids if their strength never crossed him. Without the strength and readiness to kill Shivula, Hulberto cannot be defeated. No wonder Shivula was thinking that far.

(Mr. Shivula......)

Perhaps there is no point in praying for the blessings of something that no longer even leaves a shard of soul. But Sid had to pray for Shivula's blessings. Shivula is no exaggeration when it comes to being a master of life for Sid.

You can say that what he taught you is exciting Sid now.

In his limitless sense of loss, he thought of Shivula and of Hulberto.

Hulberto must also be saved.
