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

Episode One Thousand Seven Hundred Sixty Five Funeral Songs for the Dead Royal Family (XVIII)

"Ashtra"

Setuna admitted that the moment that God revealed himself, intense emotions were transmitted from both hands. The dull black emotions that flow in from the black spear held by both hands are arguably particularly intense among what Setsuna has ever felt from the black spear.

Summoning armed, willing. I rarely express that will. Even if there were, it was enough to come out between dreams and the narrow of the present, and it was extremely rare to come up with a manifestation of intent during battle, etc. It was something that had never happened before, especially when the black spear conveyed such a strong sense of hostility to Setuna. But not surprisingly. Now that I was familiar with the black spear, I could imagine more or less what “he” was thinking, feeling, thinking and wanting.

At least, I understand what Setuna didn't know or see before.

For example, what is there to be done for a black spear that names a God who descended forward?

(Now I know)

Setuna gazed at the glowing presence as she gripped the pattern of the spear hard. God, who looked like a boy, seemed to see and mock this one in the light.

"Is that your name?"

And.

(That's the enemy.)

Setuna has come to know what a black spear is like an enemy to hate. For what is called God, the black spear has an enemy without this. Black spear. The summoning armed, named Chaos Blinger by Setuna, was called the Wand of the Demon King by the Mayura and Mivula gods. I know what that word means now, Setuna. And it was also convincing that what the word meant appeared to be hostility to God.

"Yes, that's my name. You should remember that. It is a word that means great things in the world in which I emerged. That's the word I deserve, right?

It's not the word of this world, that is. Words of different worlds, not ancient languages or dragon languages. It was a pillar of God summoned from another world by the Holy Emperor, that is, a pillar of the Emperor God.

Bain laughed with his nose.

"Something great? You make me laugh."

"I agree. God hears and laughs at human dignity."

As Sid lays down his sword, he releases himself.

"Do you rely on God to fool you?"

"Our God is not the same as you."

"Exactly. Don't let our God be with you."

Because God's standard for Bain and Sid is Mivula, naturally, it would also be such a reaction. If we take as a criterion the Mivula, who loved man and spent all his strength in saving him, there is no way for any god to lose his character. Even Setuna, who doesn't know the details about Mivula, goes up in arms to Mivula without having to compare it to Ashtra. Mivula was a god of goodness to man himself.

"Ha. Where nothing stranger hath said, it hath not reached me. Don't you know what happened to your God?

"Hey, you know what happened to Mivula!

I know. I don't know anything about it. It caused all that noise. Damn, they do extra things. Because of this, I and other gods are no longer able to return to the world in which they should be. A summoning ritual that took five hundred years is a blister. I've lost only one way. "

(I lost it...?

Setuna, out of Ashtra's words, learned to catch on to that one. Regardless, losing it would mean a way to resurrect the Holy King. It was the sorrow of the gods to revive the Holy Emperor and return to the world he should be in by his power, the purpose for which he waged his final war. I can't think of anything else. But if the summons just fails, then again, shouldn't we just take the time to start over? What the hell does it mean to have lost it?

"This world is too boring, though I wish I could have gotten out of it to be ruled by such a thing. I was interested in playing with dolls... but you showed up."

Ashtra's golden eyes were looking at Setuna.

"It's about you. Setuna-Kamiya. As long as you and your Demon King wand, or..."

"This battle, that the black spear was the aim?

That's right. That's all. Otherwise, for no reason whatsoever. I also made a calculation to destroy Benoa for Hulberto, but the result doesn't matter. What matters is you and the Demon King's wand. "

"Destroying Benoa for Hulberto...?

"Is that what he wants!

Seeing Bain and Sid get furious, Ashtra grinned at its glowing face. A grinning grin. The difference between Ashtra and Mivula appears in one of those expressions. Merciful and trying to do all he can to save the world, Mivula's expression was no exaggeration to say that his heart would be washed just by watching. So much so that even Setuna, who was not a follower of Mivula, felt so, and even dazzled by the difference in response to humans with Ashtra.

"He is the bearer of a healthy soul for man. Unsullied pure soul. There are very few that have such souls. His soul is still more beautiful than yours."

"What the fuck, man!

I'm talking about a hobby that makes me want to be obnoxious when I see it.

"You!"

Are you sure about that? You humans do a lot of things. As often as you want to do what you like. Different?

Ashtra seemed to be deliberately choosing words that would stroke the nerves of Bain and Sid backwards. If that imagination is correct, it can be called the effect surface. Bain wasn't too angry, he was about to jump right now, and Sid hasn't been able to hide his emotional heights as well. For both of us, I guess, Hulberto was an important colleague. Without Ashtra, the thought is starting to swell.

Had it not been for Ashtra, neither Hulberto nor Shivula would have had such an end.

"His heart was so beautiful, he felt more responsible than anyone for failing to protect Benoagard by“ great destruction ”. Even though he doesn't have any responsibility. Rather, it can be called a victim. Mivula, who gave him strength and hope, is the one who should be held accountable. If Mivula was in Benoa, he could have protected Benoagard. But Mivula thought more about the whole Illus Valle than Benoagard. The worst choice prevented us from returning, the catastrophe of the Great Destruction, and it's a terrible story that you humans can't possibly blame for Mibula."

Ashtra's voice was trembling with anger at Mivula. Is it just too much to think that even that anger seems to be just a performance to stir up the confronting Setunas? At least Ashtra doesn't look possessed by her anger toward Myvula. Rather, I even have the impression that I am sincerely enjoying the status quo.

Wouldn't it be fun and helpless to manipulate Hulberto and bring confusion to Benoagard?

Setsuna was feeling unspeakable anger. Benoagard is not a marginal country for Setsuna. But even though it's a land with no edge or itch, it's a place I know and where some people admire me. And more importantly, since the Great Destruction, I have seen the kind of life that lives in pain, in darkness, but also in days. Everyone says they are the best at living their day, but they find joy in destroying and confusing such a status quo. You can't admit such things, even if they are gods.

"It is because Mivula gave up her life along with the Quon of the Apostle from Mizu and that traitor that Iles Valle remains in its original form. If Mivula had obsessed with the protection of Benoagard, almost everything but Benoagard would have vanished. With our return."

Ashtra put that thin hand on his chest. The body that emits light and has an incredible pattern floats, although very similar to the human flesh, is by no means homogeneous.

You know which one would have been better for you, don't you? It's irritating to me. "

"You mean you hit Hulberto with that frustration!?

That's not true. That's not the point. What's happened is there's no choice. I can't get it back. So I don't care about that. I just like to play with humans. Nothing more or less. "

Ashtra's words, said with a cool face, were a affirmation of Setuna's imagination. Ashtra doesn't care if she's angry with Mibula. I am pouring out the whole spirit to delight in the status quo. I guess that's the presence of a god named Ashtra. What makes humans look like puppets and cause confusion.

"Seeing people with beautiful souls among them, I can't help but want to be obscene. I love it so much to see a man with a pure soul get dirty, broken, mad, and fallen in front of a desperate reality. Because that's the source of my power."

"... I finally get it."

Put the fist Bain gripped at the height of his gaze. A mysterious light gushing from his body entangles and degenerates in the cage hand of his right arm. It would be the one called disguise. Reinforcement of weapon protective equipment by rescue power. This allows the Knights Knights to gain comparable power to the Armed Summoners.

"You're not a god or anything! It's just a monster!

"Deny it if it's not convenient for us - that's the human limit. If Mibula, who emerged by the heart seeking human salvation, is God, so am I, who emerged by the darkening desires in man."

Ashtra was like a roar from Bain's soul and other winds that blow where. In fact, where Bain or Sid went, no, even Setuna's words don't sound good to Ashtra. It's God. Different beings of dimensions. If we don't share the same values as humans, we can't measure them on a human scale. Of course, that's why I don't feel angry about Ashtra.

Well, whether you admit it or deny it, it's none of my business, and it's none of Halbert's business.

"I do."

Sid tells, and Bain responds.

"Oh."

"Hmm?"

Ashtra couldn't have known what it was like to have two prepared thoughts. Sid raised a thunderbolt sword and Bain set up an iron nail fist. You two are ready to die. I guess you both understand that if you're not that prepared, you can't fight God or anything. Sid told me.

"I deny your existence."

"Ouch!

You want to fight me? You guys? Foolishly enough. "

Ashtra just smiled. A mighty force swirled around Ashtra and the aftermath reached Setuna and the others. Overwhelming flux of power. Even though he said it was just intimidation, Setuna couldn't stand without poking the spear to the ground, and neither Sid nor Bain had to kneel. Rem is carrying him backwards to keep Hulberto out of this.

"Turn yourself around. You were only wielding a power close to God thanks to the protection of Mibula. With Mivula absent, there are limits to protection, and you are both at your limits. It will never reach me."

"I don't mind."

"If you admit you exist, you'd rather die!

Sid and Bain stood up at the same time and yelled. Setuna's eyes can see the unlimited increase in the two rescues. My soul is burning. It's like that time. There was a dragon who risked his death to protect Setuna. Ragnacia-Elm Dorrus. It reminds me of the sight I saw in her last period, because she also created magic beyond its limits by burning her soul.

Stupid. Living is better for this country than dying, isn't it?

Ashtra said away to mock him, but what he said was best.

Sid and Bain are executives of the Knights, the backbone of this country. It's in the role of having to survive at all costs. If they die, the burden on other Knights executives increases for that matter. In the three of us alone, Ozfeld, Luveris and Rowfa, it is visible how the national territory of Benoagard has narrowed, but what is at stake in government. Even though, the Knights have two sides: face as an administration and face as a force organization, which makes them extremely busy. If there is any more strain on Knights executives, it is not something that I have figured out what will happen.

If you survive, I will destroy this country.

Ashtra laughed sarcastically. I know it's something that God has no creation for him, but there's no reason to accept that.

Setuna pulled out the spear she was stabbing on the ground and looked to Ashtra.

"I won't let you."

Lord Setuna.

"This is..."

I want us to leave it to ourselves - but Sid and Bain were going to say it, but Setsuna didn't accept those two readiness.

"Mr. Sid, Mr. Bain, leave this place to me. The fact that Ashtra is a god is beyond doubt. If you both die, you won't be able to scratch one."

I tell you, remembering the battle against Mayura in Kruselk, which is not even the battle. Even the black spears of the time should have had the power to the extent of the Sids' disguise. Still, I couldn't even hurt Mayura. At that time, it is also burning in my memory that I had no choice but to be overwhelmed by the force shown off by Mayura. Dimensions are different.

There is no other way to accept the fact that God is God and man is man without help. We have to prepare a means of confrontation after accepting it, but not with a large number of subpoenas. If we can't at least show more power than our true bodies, we can't even be enemies to God. In the present Sids, they will only be returned without the art of exchange. They're still showing their readiness and temper that they don't mind, but that's no good. There is no reason to let Sid and the others die.

"It's... but!

"That's right, Lord Setuna. How helpless, you can't pull it here."

"No, I'll pull it off"

Setuna glanced behind her back, to be very brief. Apparently, Lem has kept Hulberto in Flood waiting in the distance. How reliable it is to wait for instructions with the Reapers.

"Rem, I asked you two"

"Yes, sir."

Rem, acknowledging without a word or two, moved to control Sid and Bain with the Reapers.

"What...!?

"Lord Setuna, hey!?

Neither Sid nor Bain had the skill of exchanging against the “Reaper” opponent, who was on his side, and was quickly subdued. Neither of us, even if we were prepared to lay down our lives against Ashtra, would have had the idea of destroying Rem and the “Reaper”. That's the good of one of their Knights knights.

"That's a smart decision. The only thing you can do is pull your legs off, such as the useless weak."

"I don't care."

Setuna kicked the ground when she kicked Ashtra's bullshit.

"You're the enemy."

In an instant, he captures Ashtra in time and swings through the spear.

A flash of pitch black cut off three fingers of his hand against Astra's chest.
