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

The beginning was “great destruction”.

The unprecedented catastrophe, to be known as the “Great Destruction," scattered the Wargrain continent, making Benoagard the country responsible for the tip of the small island. That's not all. The enormous power of destruction that tore apart the continent also chopped up the national territory of Benoagard, causing enormous damage everywhere. Benoa was no exception. A natural mutation bullied Benoa and countless dead people emerged.

Hulberto said he saw such a reality that he knew and was defeated by the powerlessness of his, the Knights.

When the Knights rethink what they exist for, it's not a story they don't know to be as disappointed and frustrated with despair as he is. Sid himself, when he saw Benoa ravaged and exhausted by the “Great Destruction," he deplored his powerlessness, and lamented what the Knights were for. However, I guess the difference between Sid and Hulberto was something I didn't know I was desperate about there.

Hulberto had entrusted everything to the Knights.

He is a Royal Benoagard. Until just before the revolution, he was as a prince and heir to the next throne. He lamented the political corruption that eroded Benoagard and hoped for reform, embracing the destiny of the Royal Family being destroyed by the Knights' revolution. But brought to life by the existence of failing rings, he probably tried to determine the whereabouts of the revolution by joining the Knights.

The Knights to him, who by revolution exhausted his kinsman relatives, had to be the ones who took his place in the royal family, protecting and rightly guiding Benoagart. Until then, the Knights must be responsible for everything the royals had done. Otherwise, the righteousness of the Knights is lost, and the meaning of the Royal Family's destruction is attributed to nothing. Therefore he was in the Knights, trying to see the future.

Hulberto was always a prince with a constant smile, but deep in his heart there were complex emotions that were roughly incomprehensible to others.

It seemed like such a halbert had embraced the likeness of the Knights and taken pride in the way they were as Knights Knights, after they found out that the Knights were giving up their whole spirit for Benoagard and that the philosophy was not selfish.

Meet Shivula, too, I'm sure, big.

The undivided knight Shivula Zan-Suor must have been the support of Hulberto's heart, who had just lost his family, and inspired him to open his chivalry. I smile when Hulberto talks about Shivula, and I also know very well from being annoyed by deep regrets. He regretted indefinitely that it had resulted in the loss of Shivula.

Anyway, the Knights for Hulberto were first and foremost the rulers, governments and protectors of Benoagard as a successor to the Royal Family.

If we try to make it such a halbert, it is also incomprehensible to come to the idea that, if we cannot prevent “great destruction”, we cannot even tolerate the existence of the Knights, who cannot protect Benoagard. Six god table knights led by Mibula risked their lives to prevent the resurrection of the Holy Emperor, which he, himself, should have felt in his soul. But still, there was a “great destruction”. It's not hard to imagine him being annoyed by his despair for the Knights when he sees the sight of everything being drunk by a wave of destruction and lost.

Nevertheless, he did not immediately disobey the Knights.

Less than a month later, as a Knights Knight, he desperately tried to fulfil his role as a Knights executive. I guess I had the thought that it was only by doing what I should do as a Knights Knight, and that it was by bailing out one of the Benoagards first and foremost over my disappointment with the Knights that I had the knighthood. But it didn't last forever either.

He said he heard his voice.

"It was my father's... voice"

Hulberto, looking out for the distance, went.

"Now my late father has spoken to me. I was wondering if I could keep this up. Leave Benoagard to the Knights Without Power."

The Knights restored Benoagard by revolution. Let's admit that as a fact. But if we are to replace the royal family and govern and run the country, we should have to protect the national territory and protect the people. What is the current situation? Many people are dying, and the land is terrible. Isn't this worth leaving the country to? After all, does Benoagard need a king as a leader, as a being at the apex of the people?

The voice said he whispered to him like every day and sank his heart into the dark darkness.

"Only when can I hear not only my father, but also my mother, sister, and sister. If you think about it right now, it must have been all the illusions Ashtra showed you."

"It wasn't just an illusion."

"Yeah... you had an entity. Indeed."

He laughed powerlessly. I guess I couldn't help laughing. Maybe there was no way to take the status quo but to laugh coldly at Mizu. His determination and readiness were all farce played by God.

"So I guess I am unnecessarily confused and can no longer distinguish between reality and fantasy. One day, I began to think that the rebirth of the royal family was the only way to save this Benoagard from his predicament. There's no way that's happening."

A word like Hulberto's throw-up would be due to his own recognition of the fact that there was a Royal Benoagard at the root of political corruption.

"Where the Royal Benoagard has rebuilt, it will be just the beginning of corrupt politics again. Most of the people who followed me kept them in spills of political corruption. The knights, too, I suppose. I have no reason to support my disobedience to Benoagard after the revolution."

In fact, the proud knights as Knights of Salvation, without departing from the Knights, were wrapped up in one under Captain Osfeld Zan-Ward. Whatever remains of the Knights after rebels like Hulberto, the Knights of Izfail and Markar-Talber leave, can be described as those who share the current philosophy and are not dissatisfied with risking their lives.

Ironically, the Knights became a true rock after all sorts of disobedience.

"Assuming Nair Benoagard was established, I would have had to be king of puppets, wouldn't I? No, I was just a puppet of God from the beginning..."

Unless it's a puppet of God, it's impossible, for example, for Hulberto to disobey the Knights.

That is something I know very well, even in the light of what he said. If Ashtra hadn't whispered to him, he must have continued to fight his pride as a Knights Knight on his chest, disappointed in the Knights' powerlessness but suffering from his own powerlessness. If you are such a thin person as to betray the Knights for no reason, Sid's is something that you do not trust and love with all your heart either. That much discerning power lies with Sid and his men.

"But good"

Hulberto told, in such finesse as to exhale only a tiny amount of air accumulated in his lungs.

"It's really good to be able to end my, Ashtra crap farce..."

"Oh."

Sid had no choice but to nod. I don't see any other words. Crap farce and he says. It was Ashtra herself. farce. How many lives have been lost for that matter? Shivula, numerous former knights and non-knights alike died for this farce. The thought that there would be such a farce or something and the fact that there was no other word worthy of it besides farce made Sid have complex emotions.

Sure, it's over.

Hulberto dies.

Nair Benoagard, who had existential significance by having Hulberto, would go to the end. Royal blood muscles no longer exist. Setuna sees no unlimited likelihood that Ashtra will use Nea Benoagard, but not unlimited. Ashtra seems obsessed with Setuna and the black spear. I might do anything to defeat Setuna and get a black spear, but it's hard to believe that Nea Benoagard will be used for that. If Benoagard had a lot to do with it, he would still not be able to attract Setuna in Nea Benoagard.

Nea Benoagard's supporters must have had the majority of what Hulberto said he wanted to keep to the benefit of the rebirth of the Royal Benoagard. Once the Royal Benoagard had rebuilt and politics by the Royal Benoagard had begun, all those who expected the days like those before the revolution to come gathered beneath him and became his pawns.

I can't help but think it's ironic.

Hulberto's rebellion elevated the Knights' revolution to something close to perfection over several years.

That also means that those who had deposited in the benefits of political corruption and were eroding Benoagard, even after the Knights' revolution, waited to see the day again, lurking themselves in the shadow of Benoagard. They were drawn to the title of disobedience and royal rebirth from the Knights of Hulberto and left Benoagard. That fact will be a force that will transform Benoagard into a more transparent country, but it will also be first and foremost reconstruction. Nair. He was hesitant that the conflict with Benoagard would put all his efforts into reconstruction, but from now on he will be able to invest more in reconstruction than Nair Benoagard has probably become a shortage.

One of the things that has been causing Benoagard since “the Great Destruction” is about to come to an end.

"But what a mistake I have made. Now I can't face His Excellency the Chief of the Failing Regiment and all of you..."

Hulberto must have recognized the imminent death of Mizu. All of a sudden, I put out such a good thing. The fact that his soul is beginning to weaken the power of life is something Sid himself feels strongly about. This is the hard part of the soul bond that binds the thirteenth knight. If you are in a state unrelated to death, you can even remember to rely on the radiance that can even be described as fierce in its vitality, but when vitality is diminished and death is imminent, you have to feel its weakness close to you. And there's nothing I can do about what I'm feeling about it. What can be done by salvation is as much as the healing of one's own wounds, which cannot be shared with others, healing wounds or reviving vitality. Hulberto's significant loss of vitality is due to a clash of salvation using his true body, and he has used up much of his power. There is no longer any help to stop his death fate.

If Mivula had been here, he could have prevented that, too. The XIII Knight can handle this immense amount of salvation by the protection of the Mivula. Could Mivula also bring back the lost vitality? There's no point in imagining that or knowing where Mivula is.

Hulberto looked at the void. Are you tired of staring at Sid, too, or, you can't stare anymore? It would be the latter. Given Halbert's character, it's impossible otherwise.

"No... if I'm the only one going to hell, is there nothing wrong with that?"

"What do you mean, like that?"

Sid told him quietly, staring into Hulberto's eyes. If Hulberto's too kind a character, it is also inexorable to come to such an answer, but I must tell him that is not possible. It's impossible that only Hulberto will go to hell.

"It's something I don't have to worry about. We Knights Knights will all go to hell"

"Mr. Sid......"

"Our Knights, who set forth salvation and whose philosophy is salvation, are not necessarily just organizations. There's no way we can go to heaven without hating any sacrifice for a purpose. I've killed a lot of people. The destination of death is hell."

Sid touched Halbert's hand. Blue, even his body temperature began to drop. His hands were cold, and he didn't seem very much like his body, although he was alive. Hulberto is already on his way to death. Time is running out. There's a limit to falling to hell.

"My lord Chief Failing, I'm sure he's waiting for you in hell,"

"Hehe..."

Halbert laughed powerlessly.

"Isn't it usually something to encourage you to pass away to heaven at times like this?

That was certainly true of him, but Sid, smiling back, said.

"What's the point of that bullshit?"

"Yeah. Absolutely, you're right."

He exhaled slowly. The fear that his soul might slip out as it were turns to peace of mind when he smiles.

"Thanks to you, I'm a little relieved"

"Are you safe to go to hell?

Bain is the one who has joined the conversation, for example. Turning around, he opened the door without a sound, so that his large body could be flanked by the door, and he was watching Halbert. The look of Bain, who was mad at Hulberto, is not there. One is Bain's appearance as a good senior watching over Hulberto, who is a colleague and a junior as a knight. I guess he has such a calm look on his face because he knows the fact that death is imminent in Hulberto. If this is true, if Hulberto remains healthy, he may have harshly reprimanded and encouraged reflection, but it is Bain who is pitiful for what is dying.

"Mr. Bain."

Hulberto looked a little surprised and immediately gave me a joyous look. Hulberto is a kind young man and a nostalgic character. He was open minded and nostalgic, not just for Shivula, but for Sid and Bain. That's why Sid and the others couldn't hide their shock at Hulberto's departure from the Knights, something they didn't even want to touch on for a while. Although we now know that that is for Astra to break Hulberto's heart, at the time, we had to assume that Hulberto had truly set himself apart from the Knights. Bain seemed deeply hurt, too. He adored Hulberto as much as his brother.

Bain unraveled his hips in the chair beside his bedside as he came in the room. And as I peek into Halbert's face, I tell him.

"You made it."

"Yes."

Nodding, Hulberto did not hide his happy expression. Hulberto did not dislike him as one of his colleagues, the Thirteen Knights. And I guess it's such a halbert that one lonely Drake Zan-Aetheria and Terrius Zan-Kayloon, who was only open minded to Ozfeld, also had a peek at his smile. The presence of Hulberto was no exaggeration when it came to lubricants for the Knights who burn their lives on mission.

"We're going to hell one day, too. Must."

Bain's getting stronger. Take Sid's word for it, I guess.

"At that time, show me hell as a senior."

"Yes... I promise"

"Pleasure."

"Me too... look forward to the day when Mr. Bain will have a senior face"

So, he just fucking laughed. Bain must have had a subtle look because he couldn't even imagine a halbert or something that would make him breeze seniors.

"But please come back to Sugu."

"Oh. I know."

"Live, live, live, and then die."

Bain laughed.

Fight through, not survive.

It seemed like a non-Bain-like rhetoric, but it was accepted that that was what Bain was thinking right now. With so many lives taken and scattered by the Great Destruction, surviving is harder and more important than fighting through. “The Great Destruction” is taking away Bain's family.

It's not just Bain's family.

Various things were taken away.

May I say that even the bond of the thirteenth knight was taken away by “great destruction”?

Sid narrowed his eyes to the pain in his chest. And I remember.

"... yes"

"Yes?"

"Hulberto. Mr. Shivula was there to guide you to the end."

"... Mr. Shivula..."

I guess it was a word that didn't depend on his thoughts. I was silent with my eyes open.

"I deeply regretted your sincerity, your inability to realize the thought of sleeping in the depths of your heart, your realization, your inability to guide you"

I want you to save me about Hulberto.

At this time, the thoughts left by Shivula to Sid are still in his mind. That was the only thing bothering Sid's head about how to make that happen. How can you save Hulberto to yourself, who has exhausted his power in a showdown with Shivula? If we can't even end the battle of Hulberto, there's no way we can, such as saving Hulberto's soul. Because that's what I had to think.

But if we came to the obvious fact that fighting is not the only salvation, the story was quick.

Sid told Hulberto what Shivula's end was like. How much he thought and worried about Hulberto. It's him. How many thoughts did you take to get down to Hulberto and challenge him to the final battle? Sid told me everything he knew.

Hulberto, nothing, was just listening to Sid's words. I guess it wasn't words or anything. I guess I didn't think of it. Only the look on Halbert's face that is still about to cry can tell the emotions that swirl in his heart. There would have been profound sorrow and regret, as well as penance for Shivula.

"I... I..."

Hulberto's voice was trembling and wet with tears.

"I can't thank Mr. Shivula enough... why, why...!

It was obvious from his reaction how great and important Shivula was to him. Ever since he joined the Knights, he was always around about Shivula. It would be because Shivula was his educator, but at the same time, it would be because Hulberto liked Shivula and immediately forgave his heart. It is the feeling of those who saw the relationship between Shivula and Hulberto that, when they heard those words, Shivula looked bitter and Hulberto seemed happy.

That's why it would have been more hateful for Hulberto to let Shivula die than anything else. That's why I had to tell him. Otherwise, he will die with only regret for Shivula. Then it's too sad.

Then there is too little salvation.

"I'm sure he'll be waiting in hell too"

"If you apologize, say no directly to the person"

"Yes......!

Hulberto nodded forcefully. And I'm going to tell you quietly.

"Mr. Sid, Mr. Bain... Regards, I wish you well and happiness from hell."

He looked up at the ceiling. I can see the rapid loss of life from my eyes.

"Oh... I hear voices -"

Whose voice did you hear?

Hulberto left the world with only such questions.

Sid and Bain, for a while, kept an eye on his remains.

Another, with the fact in his chest that his compatriots, bound by the bond of his soul, are gone.
