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

"Before you go to our country, I just want to ask you one thing, will you listen to me?"

It was after the story of Setuna and the others came together. The hell with Willedo has spoken in such a tone that he seems sorry for Setuna and the others.

"What?

"... Agatara, our nation, is supposedly a contraindication that we should not inherently accept humans or other races, let alone reveal their presence to humans. We are trying to encroach on that contraindication more than this. That's good. We need it for our future."

"What's the problem?

"Revealing a lot of where you are is a problem."

"I mean... what do you want?

Setuna, unable to read Willedo's intentions, frowned. Looks like the lems said they had to tip their little necks too.

"You have divided the number of people. I'm talking about it."

"You want us all to follow you?

"I would ask you to do that if possible... but if that is no, I would ask you to leave the forest right now. The only thing you can find out is what follows you with us."

"... you mean that"

Setuna, understanding his fears from Willedo's story, immediately gave instructions to Lem and all the Asura squads. In short, Willedo doesn't want to tell humans where the entrance to and exit from a country like Agatara is. If that is known, it is possible that humans will invade Agatara. As the Imperial Devil abhors mankind, man also abhors the Imperial Devil like a serpent scorpion. Regardless, it is unlikely that Lyohan would plan a senseless invasion of the kingdom of the Imperial Devil, but it is not an unclear story that the Willeds do not believe in such a statement of man. Even as a human being, for example, if the Imperial Demon has told such stories, when it comes to trusting them, he won't.

Willeds' depth of caution seemed reasonable, and if I saw Willeds looking distressed for it, I thought it was a good idea to follow their word. There's no point in fighting here, or, rather, it could have a negative impact on the treatment of the Milius. Now, although there is no harm done to the Milius because they are treating Elina as a witch, if Setuna and the others are in a bad mood here, things can change.

And apparently, the Willeds in front of us are not thinking about attacking humans. Although the fact that the country of Willedo is extremely close to Lyohan is a source of concern, it is not necessary to reveal their location if they are unwilling to do business with humans. Besides, Setuna and the others can know where it is, so if it's over and we can leave Willedo's country, we can share the information.

(If you're going to make it home safely.)

There is no guarantee that Willedo is an exception among the Imperial Demons. Right now, he just might not get his hands on humans because he's treasured Elina as a witch. If Erina successfully finishes the role, it is never unlikely that she will attempt to process it as used. Isn't that why you invited all the Miliu squads into Agatara?

Most of all, that's why I didn't think it would be dangerous for Milius and the others. Even if Elina finishes her role as a witch, and Miliu and her men as the Willeds leopard their attitudes. They are all good armed summoners. Though the magic of Miliu is simulated, it is powerful and incomparable, and even if the Imperial Devil is his opponent, it can be no disadvantage. At least, it would be as possible to escape the kingdom of the Imperial Devil.

In that sense, it was significant to find that the Milius were in the kingdom of the Imperial Demons. If I hadn't been detained by the Divine Army, I would have encountered and killed a divine man. The Imperial Demon boasts tougher flesh and vitality than man, but is easy to cope with without having to compare to divine men and divine beasts. Depending on the number of opponents, it doesn't matter how many pseudo-magic they've destroyed in just one fort.

"Then we shall return to Lyohan from this, and we shall report it according to the matter. Master Asura, please be safe. Best regards, Miliu and Elina."

"Oh, leave it to me. You be careful."

I greet Rem again and see them leave this place.

Both Rem and the armed summoners of the Asura squad must have trusted Setuna and the others. Leaving the scene, he hurried out into the woods. Even if that figure disappears from sight, it takes some time from Setuna's sensing range until their signs disappear. The sensing range of black spears alone is vast, so there's no way to do it. But there is no need to wait for the Rems to reach the carriage. No matter how fast it takes, it takes hours.

The sky had already stained red and the night was approaching.

"Now, okay?

"Uhm. Thank you for accepting this request."

"If you enter the town, follow the town. Naturally."

That said, Setuna's flat acceptance of the demands of the Willeds is only due to the certainty that even the power of a black spear can be unleashed in any situation. We have been through battles here with divine men, with God's blessings, and also with God himself. The Imperial Devil no longer deserves a threat. Whether it is a sense of black spear user-friendly setuna, there is no difference in the threat itself for a regular person or a concurrent armed summoner. With self-vigilance that the feeling should not be forgotten, Setuna asked the Willeds.

"So, what are we gonna do? You're moving out of here?

"No, you don't have to. Our entrance to Agatara is here."

"Here?"

It was also in the meantime that Setuna wondered, that Willedo and the others walked over to a single great tree. It was the great tree that Miliu was pointing out by clue, and Setsuna finally understood why Miliu had urged him to go to the great tree.

"This tree. This tree is the gateway that connects our Agatara to this land."

Willedo said that, as he succumbed to the roots of the trees, he touched the roots sticking out of the ground with his stern pointy fingertips. I can see how power flows from Willedo's fingertips into the roots of the great tree. When I wondered if a dull light had run on the surface of the root, the great tree itself trembled tremendously. And a big hole is worn from the ground up to the trunk. I had the impression that the monster had opened its mouth. The cavity seemed to continue underground, not on the other side of the great tree. Apparently, Agatara, Willedo's country, is deep underground.

Willedo pointed to the cavity born in the great tree.

"If we jump in here, we're in a straight line to Agatara."

"It's in the basement, right?

"That's the thing. We were chased by heaven. Therefore our fathers sought paradise deep in the earth."

"Heh."

"In fact, it was in the ground that we had our paradise. If we were on the ground, we would have had a constant fight with you humans just to make sure we had a place. In that regard, the basement is good. You don't have to compete with people, you don't have to compete with others."

He went to the sigh mix.

The others would mean other Imperial Demons. Although Willedo, Resbelle and Leudice are called in bulk with the Imperial Devil, they are not originally of the same race. Perhaps they are each things that have been distracted from different worlds into this Illus Valle and should not otherwise be collectively referred to as the Imperial Demon. However, as can also be seen from the fact that the name Imperial Demon implies the demonization of the Holy King, it was not a mistake in itself to refer to it collectively as Imperial Demon. I guess that's why people in this world have different names and classifications for each type of Imperial Demon. A single race can only be named the Imperial Demon.

"I just don't know if it makes sense to have a vain time, but at least the idea of my fathers that it's better than killing each other in the dark clouds, I don't know"

"You don't really hate humans."

"I hate you. I hate you."

The bottom of the fallen eye hole, red light like blood, doesn't even look like it's burning with hatred. But what I felt from Willedo himself was something completely different from emotions like hatred, anger, and resentment. Deeper, more complex emotions.

"We'll never forget. Our fathers, who flew into the land without knowing it, were denied and rejected by you humans just because their appearance was ugly. Even though our fathers didn't want to fight humans, He called again and again and appealed for a negotiating forum to be set up. So much so that I learned the human language for it. Until then, our fathers tried to avoid the struggle. Do everything you can. But what about the results?"

Willedo shakes his head. I can see his emotions turning to anger. I'm trembling. It's not just his body. His surrounding atmosphere itself trembles, fevers, and swirls. It was as if his emotions had become magic and started interfering with the world.

"The humans lured our lord into the bargain and slaughtered you and all the people on your side. Our fathers mourned and grieved greatly. Angry, crazy. We didn't even want to walk with humans. I'm just glad we made a deal with humans and respected each other. I didn't ask for anything more. Yet the humans betrayed us with ease. No, you're not. It's not about betrayal. They were going to destroy us from the beginning."

Setuna didn't know what to say to Willedo, who made a statement that could be taken as a mockery. I have heard and known many times stories of humans and imperial demons having become hateful and hateful relationships with each other by tragic encounters. But I had never even heard of stories such as it was aggravated by human hands. All unilateral killings by the Imperial Demon remain as a story.

"It was... I didn't know"

"I'm ashamed... me too..."

"I don't know. It makes sense. Five hundred years ago, the Vashtarian story. There is no way the Church, which preaches God's teachings as absolute justice, could hustle that Willedo was deceived and deceived, etc. If a group of righteous people declare such a thing publicly, the values of righteousness can be shaken."

"Well then..."

"Besides, nothing like that is just a story in the human world. There are as many similar things in our world of Willedo as there are. Not all humans are bad. So we stopped resenting humans. The humans were just desperately trying to protect their territory. Besides, we might have done the same thing if we were in the opposite position. I thought so."

Willedo's words were a conveyance of how calm and sensible a race they were. Normally, that would not be the case. It's not strange if you think about hating, accumulating resentment, and someday avenging the humans who betrayed your expectations and deceived you. No, it would be more normal to strike out immediately and try to destroy the humans. That's all the Emperor Willedo has.

"Therefore we caged ourselves in the basement and severed our ties to the earth. It was almost 500 years ago."

"So... why did you guys come out on the ground? Why did you take Erina and the others again?"

"… First, I would like to invite you to Agatara"

Willedo, narrowing his eyes, shifted his gaze into the cavity of the great tree. The cavity leading into the underground world remains as silent as ever until creepy.

"Talk about it, then."
