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

Episode One Thousand Eight Hundred and ninety-one: Feast of the Fighting God (I)

Martial Arts Festival of Fighting God.

The biggest and best festival of the Fighting Capital Areutheras is now taking place, he said, approximately two years ago, after the recapture of the Areutheras by the Polar Rigors.

Each city in Armador, including Areutheras, has been crushed by the Vashtarian army's quantity in the early days of the final war and is under the control of the Vashtarian army. Then there was the “Great Destruction” and the chaos struck all over the place. The shock of the earth changing shape and the continent splattering, became a natural mutation itself, and it blew away. It is clear from looking at the current state of Aleuteras that Aleuteras has also suffered its shocks. The “Great Destruction” claw marks remain as if they were indelible scars.

Led by Warren-Roon, who saw the opportunity for confusion caused by that “great destruction”, the Polar Rigorous Fighters attack the Vashtarian army, which ruled Areutheras, and successfully defeat them from Areutheras. That brought Areutheras under the rule of the Extreme Congolese Fighters, a system of governance that still existed before the final war, but that is not an issue. Rather, it would have made sense for one of the Areutheras to feel safer to be run by the most influential fighters in the struggle capital Areutheras than by a governing mechanism with no power whatsoever.

The great damage caused by the great defeat and “great destruction” in the final war was deeply wounded in the heart of one of the Areutheras and continued to remain as indelible. The aftermath and effects of the “Great Destruction” drove each person anxiously, and loss and despair blew away end-of-life ideas.

It was the Extreme Rigorous Fighters who stood up to break such a situation, and Commander Warren-Roon decided to host the Nanbu Festival, a martial arts tournament designed to brave the hearts of one who had been broken by “great destruction” as well as quell the souls of those who had been lost.

That was two years ago today - March 7th, he said.

"Apparently one of the Aleuteras was definitely aroused by the Nerimu Festival. Anyway, ever since then, Aleuteras has become vibrant."

"In combat...... is it?

"You saw it. These people in this city, they really like fighting."

"Sure it does...... very, incredible"

"Well, yeah"

Setuna, agreeing with Rem, threw the newspaper in her hand on the table. There was an article in the newspaper Setsuna was reading about the history of the Martial Arts Festival. As a result, it is known that it was not initially called the Martial Arts Festival and that it was called the Martial Arts Festival. And why it became known as the Martial Arts Festival was also noted there.

"I mean, that's not all."

"What do you mean?

"Kamisama showed up."

During the first Nebu Festival, which was taking place in the Central Arena, it happened.

The descent of the fighting god.

It called Mizuto Rajam the god of struggle, praised the martial arts for the soul, and unilaterally declared the patronage of Areutheras. That it is not just a hallucination or a delusion, because everyone who was in the arena at that time saw it, saw what God looked like, and heard the voice of God.

Rajam, the fighting god, has since become enshrined as the patron saint of Areutheras, and the Nerimu Festival has also been renamed the fighting god Nerimu Festival. I didn't just become worshipped. Since the god of strife became the patron saint, Aleuterrace livened up and allowed every man to live his days with hope.

"God...... what did Master Warren say?

"Probably, you will. It's called Rajam the Fighting God."

"... you have something to do with God"

"That's a nasty edge."

"Master Mauau was a good god."

"I don't deny that."

Setuna looked up to the ceiling as she kept her body behind the bench. The stone room is a combination of stone and ceiling.

"I feel like there's more of a god I don't like."

I guess that's not true, but I guess that's what I feel, because the unpleasant is more impressive and memorable. When it comes to the gods Setuna meets, Mayura, Mivula, Ashtra, Mauau and half of them can be called good gods for humans, but Mayura and Ashtra's impressions are still more intense. Although Mayura has not done enough to call herself an evil god, there is the fact that she has meaninglessly taken many lives. Not to mention Ashtra.

Compared to that, I wonder what Mivula's goodness is, but mercy may not change Mauau either. Mauau would not have even attacked Setuna if she hadn't even had a black spear in her hand.

With that in mind, he looks at the chilling light of the demonic crystal lamp suspended on the ceiling. I sense Rem taking the newspaper only by the signs, and I know by the sound that the door opens. Probably, Jade-Mesa. He left the room to add to his needs.

Setsuna and the others are now in the holding room of the Central Arena.

Today is March 7, 5006, continental calendar.

I mean, it's the day of the Martial Arts Festival.

When I left the Inn this morning, the entire city of Areutheras was stained with the color of the Martial Arts Festival. A bright red flag with the crest of the Extreme Rigorous Fighters was raised all over the city, and we have seen various offerings coloring the city and creating the exuberance of the Martial Arts Festival. The calories generated by the waiting citizens were the momentum that overshadowed the entire Areutheras with festivities to tremendous proportions, and Setuna and the others could understand how important this festival was for the citizens of Areutheras as.

The Nanbu Festival of the Fighting God is a festival for the soul of one who died in the final war, the "Great Destruction”, as well as a festival that inspires the heart of one who lives now. The souls of those born in this struggle capital, where fighting is the root, were thought to be comforted and quelled by fighting. And the hearts and minds of those who have lost their loved ones, such as family and friends, are also braved and aroused by fighting.

Desh's words that martial arts are at the heart of Areutheras, but exactly what was happening was right, and Setuna and the others, remembering his words, were convinced.

In such a fighting god Nerimu festival, the greatest celebration is the ceremony in the form of a martial arts club held in the central arena of Areutheras, the ritual of the Dedication of the Soul. Fighting, which the fighters themselves proudly collide with, he said, has been carried out in the name of comforting and quelling the soul of one of the Areutheras, who was sacrificed in the final war or “great destruction”, by virtue of that fierce collision of souls. Fighting is everything. When it comes to the Aleuterrace-like ritual, it may be. It's a ritual based on the assumption that almost everyone who died was born and raised on Aleuterrace, got used to fighting to the bone marrow, and thought fighting was life.

The truth is, I don't know if all the inhabitants of Areutheras are that much in love with fighting. But it was certain that it was a difficult city for humans who hated fighting at all, and there was probably a feeling that they would not try to live in anything that did not fit with the Aleuterrace's sense of air. Perhaps the one who lived on Areutheras for many years was one who could understand the enthusiastic exuberance of this Martial Arts Festival of the Fighting God, and perhaps the only way to comfort the souls of such one is still to fight.

And the liturgy of the feasting soul reached heaven and invited the coming of God.

The fighters keep their mouths shut that the fact is that while Aleuterrace is invited to an enthusiasm for further fighting and the influence of “great destruction” also remains strong, it is still recovering only thanks to the fighting. Perhaps asking a citizen other than a fighter will return the same answer. A city of fighters formed by martial arts. That is the battle capital Areutheras.

It was touched that the greatest festival in the struggle capital was at the Martial Arts Festival of the god of struggle, and that it was in the rite of devotion that formed its backbone.

Now, why Setsuna is in the fighter's quarters of the central arena where the ritual of the feasting soul takes place is the ultimate simple story.

The ritual of the Feng Soul does not significantly change the normal martial arts club and the format itself. Fighters decide each other's intelligence and compete for victory and defeat. It just doesn't mean that any fighter can compete, but that only a fighter who breaks through the qualifying sessions that have been held every few months since the last god of struggle Nebu Festival to this day can get the right to compete.

Sixteen, who added the top four in the Soul Feng ritual the previous year to the twelve who passed the qualifying session, said they would have the right to compete.

In short, it was a winning battle by the top sixteen fighters belonging to the Polar Gang Fighters, and the winner would be awarded the title, honor and prize of the best fighter of the year.

Setsuna was somewhat looking forward to the match where she heard the story and risked the fighters' pride and soul, but there was a more contested interview than Warren-Roon.

No, it wasn't about the clinic, etc.

It was a request, and there was something close to coercion.

If you don't listen to me, I won't give you Lyohan's information. Setuna worried, but there was also support from Urk, who took on the request to compete.

When Setuna-Kamiya's name is announced as the seventeenth contestant, the story is that the whole areutheras boiled down to surprise and shock, but I don't know how far it's true.

"In a country that was once a small group of nations, there is nothing unknown about the name of Lord Setsuna."

Warren has been acting strangely happy, but Setsuna didn't know what made her so happy.

I don't feel like Warren's up to something.

Behind Warren, there is God.

Rajam the god of struggle.

I don't have to doubt that God, who presided over the struggle and fought victory and soul quenching, ordered Warren to stop Setuna.

Where is the sincerity of Rajam God?

To destroy Setuna, the user of black spears like Ashtra? A harsh reaction to invasion of the divine domain, like Mauau? Or are you playing like Mayura?

Either way, I've never been over alert.
