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

Episode Two Thousand Three Hundred Fifty Two: About Esq (3)

"So, that's all I'm capable of, right?

"Yeah?"

Setuna twisted her little neck at Esq's insignificant assertions. That's when things come to mind when I clash with Larsen-Urknacto on the battlefield of Nearfellow. It was a fierce fight. That's what Lazen is doing, besides Swordcaine and the void cannon, in such a fierce battle that he didn't anticipate.

"Then who used the Holly symbol then?

Behind Setuna's brain there was a common figure of a warrior carrying a white circle of light. That is exactly proof that he is under the protection of the Holly symbol, and at that moment his improved physical ability should not be misremembered or anything like that. But he looked puzzled as though he didn't remember.

"I don't know that, so I'm in trouble, too."

"What do you mean? Why don't you understand? That was the ability of the Holly Symbol."

"Exactly as I said. In fact, at that moment, I felt the same way when Remill used the Holy Symbol."

"I mean, you used the Holly symbol, someone did"

"Who's Who"

"That's what I'm asking."

"So that's not possible."

Esq denied it in a strong tone. In a large training room. His voice echoes.

"The Holly symbol was used by Remill. That Remill died right in front of me. Holly symbol, he held it..."

"Hold it... and then, what happened?

"Neither Remill's wreckage, nor Dorin's wreckage, could secure it in that battle, nor move the place. So you don't know what happened after that..."

Though he gave a full look of regret, that's impotent. That battlefield. The enemy pushed like Yunxia, and no one could do anything about the remains of the war dead. And under those circumstances, there was a "great destruction”. The tremendous calories generated by the ritual of the resurrection of the Holy King destroyed the Wargrain continent and everything changed. Naturally, the storm of destruction would have blown on that battlefield, which was also the final phase of the final war.

Esq said he was being thrown out into the ocean when he noticed. And.

"You got here."

According to him and Nemia, he drifted on the beach of Magu, a fishing village on the southern tip of the eastern empire. So he meets the Cloud Gate, and he will live as a masked swordsman.

"Yes. I don't know why"

"I mean, there's a chance the Holly symbol got here, too."

"Bye. But if it were, it would mean someone in the Eastern Empire was using it."

"Don't..."

But in retrospect, I had no memory of an eastern imperial soldier like that. Setsuna had greatly expanded her sensing range with the combined use of Chaos Blinger and Mail of Dotor. If there's any movement within that sensing range, it should be detectable, and if there's anything that lists the Holly symbol, there's no way it couldn't have been discovered. In fact, the moment the light wheel of the Holly symbol appeared on the esc, Setsuna first suspected someone else's cross spear. But I couldn't even discover anything like using a similar subpoena weapon without something like that with the Holly symbol on it.

"Well, what the hell, then?"

"You said you were in trouble because you didn't know that."

Esq has rather gone on to denounce Setuna, but when he silenced him, he put his arms around him and thought. At that time, the Holly symbol, or some similar power, was definitely expressed. It is also clear from Esq's words and actions that it is not Setuna's misremembered etc. So what the hell is this all about? So Setuna comes to one hypothesis.

"... Isn't it the same thing as a void cannon?

"Yes?"

Esq makes it right.

"It means you made it express yourself. Holly Symbols"

"Huh? That can't be happening."

"Then how do you explain a void cannon?"

"Hey... when they say that, I can't even give it back"

He looked down at his left arm like he was in trouble and hoisted it to his left. Its rough left arm swayed in some recoil, while the atmosphere flexed and the light wall distorted. Heavy clash noise. They shot a void cannon.

"How did the void cannon become available?

"During the fight against monsters, use them unconsciously... then become aware, as you can see"

"Well, why don't you also be aware of the Holly symbol?

"Holly symbol...... hey. I don't know how to be conscious..."

He came up with it, with a surprising face. Setuna, staring at him like that, was beginning to think his hypothesis must be correct. It is by no means unlikely that the holly symbol and its similar optical wheels are some sort of unknown ability expressed by his unconsciousness, beyond the unknown principles of void cannons and doings.

And it happened. When Esq's back glowed, the white, bright light converged in a circle. It was precisely the circle of light itself expressed by the ability of the Holy Symbol, which illuminated the figure of the Esq from behind, and yet seemed like a backlight. Setsuna was surprised.

"Ooh..."

"This is..."

I guess Esq had a real feeling, too. He shook his hands and looked back. In his eyes, a circle of light would have been reflected in a tattered glow.

"I knew it was your power."

"... that's... okay, but why...?

"The best thing to know about an unknown event is to ask people who are beyond their knowledge."

Setuna operated and disarmed the light wall controller, seemingly nostalgic for the glow of the Holy Symbol and with some sentiment in the figure of Esq staring lovingly.

Whether it's a void cannon or a light wheel of the Holy Symbol, it's hard to think of it as a human ability to hold. In Tai Gu, magic existed as a skill, but Esq's magical ability was hard to think of as magic itself. Magic requires a procedure. It takes some sort of ritual, technique, just as Miliu constructs an incredibly complex surgical ceremony in Laversoul for the exercise of pseudo-magic. Esq's ability doesn't have it. There must be mental and physical wear and tear, but even so, it didn't seem magical.

So what the hell is it?

To know that, after all, it is God, who is beyond people's knowledge, who should run into doubt.

Once in the engine room, Mayuri, seated in a bench, sat next to Miliu and Elina as if to let a beautiful woman samurai, and was delighted. Seeing how it was, Setsuna, though what a bad bat, there was no way that the goddess would not notice Setsuna's proximity, and deliberately, she must be stroking Elina's head and holding Miliu's shoulder against her.

On top of that, Mayuri, sitting on a bench, was unusual and had no upper body of Mayura on his back. If I had Mayura on my back, I wouldn't even be able to hit my back, so I guess I'm doing something about it, but I've never seen Mayuri God alone, but he was fresh and at the same time just beautiful and mysterious and fantastic. And if I could do that, I always thought it was something I wanted you to do.

"Isn't it Esq to Setuna? What's the matter with you?

As Mayuri looked at this one with her golden eyes, Miliu had also turned to make sure she was caught in that gaze.

"Oh, Setsuna came to chat with Mayuri too... doesn't sound like it?

"Oh."

Nod, then watch Esq. There was something to be guessed about his lack of location, and Setsuna spoke to Miliu.

"Miliu, Elina, can I have your seat removed for a moment?

"Nothing, but is it something I have to take my seat off on purpose?

"Well, that's the thing. I'll tell you more later."

"Yes. Then I won't say anything. I'm coming, Elina."

I was relieved that Miliu accepted the request in a light manner. Miliu and Elina take their seats with regret.

"Yes, Master! Dear Mayuri, I'll see you later!

"Hmm. Both Elina and Miliu are fine."

Mayuri God also seemed to be sincerely sparing a temporary goodbye to the two of them, and kept staring at them until they left the engine room. Setuna flaunts her shoulders at the look of such a goddess.

It's not a long goodbye.

"Yes, but it's a shame to say goodbye"

"Do you like it that much?

"Hehe... Miliu, there's nothing more fun than a conversation with Elina, is there?

"Well... that's a bad thing you did"

When Setuna honestly apologized, the goddess shook her head.

"No, good. I assume you've come to talk to me about Esq?

The goddess, when she rose from her chair, had turned a transcendent knob. From behind his golden eyes he felt immense power, and Setuna breathed.
