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

(But... I wonder what's going on...)

Setsuna was standing on the spot in front of the trials presented by Rod of Envy.

Around, there is a dark space of ignorance. Darkness, darkness, darkness as far as I can see. Whether you look up to heaven, look back, or look far ahead, absolute darkness fills everywhere. No sound, no wind. It doesn't even look like there's something if it doesn't look like there's someone else besides me. It may not actually be flat ground, just out of sight, but if you can't see anything like this, you'll also have to mistake it that way.

Darkness, in which no light exists, is regarded as a feeling, just as nothing.

Actually, no.

I know that.

But in this absolute and immutable darkness, even my own hands and feet could have been perceived as uncertain. Whatever, bring it right in front of you, you can't see it. Fortunately, if I touch my face with the hand I've brought to its front, I can feel it for sure and confirm my real feelings, but if I do, everything feels unstable.

Under those circumstances, we have to find Rod of Envy.

Rod of Envy has the key. And getting that key is the purpose of this trial. In order to serve its purpose, we must first find a place for Rod of Envy, and to do so, we have no choice but to stand in the same place. Instead of ending anything, it doesn't even begin.

Setuna first took a step forward after looking around her. There is ground. Flat ground. There's no trick whatsoever. However, it is only to say that there was nothing on the ground in front of us, and if we go further, we do not know what terrain and what obstacles and traps await us.

Setuna, when she stopped her legs just one step, succumbed to the spot and touched the surrounding ground with both hands to make sure. Step-by-step, if we do not do this, we cannot walk safely. At least, as it stands. Nor can the feeling of the ordinary man allow us to walk freely around in the darkness of ignorance. Even if the ground were flat, you might lose your sense of equilibrium and fall over.

(... well, don't you need to try it well behaved in trials where exams devour inebriation)

(I hear you...)

"Uh, yes, yes. Armed Summoning"

Miscellaneously streaming the voice of Rod of Envy's heart, he uttered a spell conclusion. Moments, explosive light emanated from Setuna's entire body, and for that moment Setuna did not miss the dark darkness blowing away and the intricately monstrous terrain spreading forward. Grasp the black sword pattern embodied from within the light and distort the edge of your mouth. For a moment, there was a destination and thought in the glimpse. It was burned clearly behind Setuna's brain, and even now that she had returned to the dark space, she could grasp the way to it.

The side effects of having a black sword in your hand expand and sharpen Setuna's five senses. Running forward with his pulled up physical abilities, he broke through the intricate terrain burned in the back of his brain with only his senses. He jumps over a large hole that was worn on the ground and, with that momentum, jumps onto a wall that stands. Raise the sword, use the momentum kicked recoil to flip upwards, land on the wall by means of a retreat, and return and re-summon the Black Sword. The light produced by the re-summons again blows darkness out of his sight, making the road to his destination even clearer.

The grasp of the complex terrain also comes close to perfection. On the many holes and walls arranged to interrupt Setuna's advance, the undulating terrain would never have been known in the darkness of ignorance. Setuna, however, has an armed summons. The light produced at the time of the summons was something that got in the way of night raids and such, but I never imagined that it would ever be available this way.

(It... cowardly...)

What accidentally sounded in my brain was the voice of a stuffed boy.

"Which one?"

(But well... no... I miss you)

"What is it?"

(You... I'm not tired at all...?

"You're the one who's wearing me out!

(... I guess...)

It was Rod of Envy crushing on his lack of confidence, but Setsuna, there, on the contrary, began to wonder if he was a good character for an outgoing relationship. I want to sleep, I hope I want to devour my inebriation, but I guess I even have to thank you because you're the talker of Setuna.

Second, when I thought about that, I heard a laugh of tickle.

(People love you... you are...)

"They say that a lot."

He did not deny it, relying on the terrain burned in the back of his brain, leaping forward. Wall to wall. It jumps into a scaffold fixed in the air, but it jumps continuously. If the darkness deprives you of consciousness and forgets the terrain, you will send back the Black Sword and perform the summons again. Check the surrounding terrain again by using the luminescence phenomenon during the summons. However, repatriation is not unlimited. Summoning and maintaining a Summoning Army involves mental depletion. If this breakthrough in the dark space takes too long, it will drain so much mental power that it may eventually be exhausted.

Most importantly, there seemed to be no time limit or anything like this trial, and I felt like if I ran out of strength, I would just have to rest slowly.

(No... that's... hey...)

"Why not?"

(Find me...)

Then tell me where you are.

(If it was my place, you'd have found it earlier... Come on, come on...)

"You admit it honestly there..."

Setuna lost track of Rod of Envy's thoughts and was puzzled. What Setuna set as the target point was the top of a hill that looked far ahead, and there seemed to be some meaningful object there. Due to that outrageous placement, I thought there was a Rod of Envy there, but with Rod of Envy himself acknowledging it, Setsuna is now better off just heading there.

(... I want to sleep anyway... find out where...)

"Wow. We just have to get there."

(Yeah... I'll be waiting...)

In a strange mood for the fact that the family of the examiner's black spear was rushing him, Setuna then flew across the scaffold as she made another repatriation and summons to confirm the terrain. The terrain is complex, but there was no particular problem if only the dark darkness could be managed. If only this unknown darkness and complex terrain are trials, then nothing is simpler and easier. There's nothing like an obstacle hitting you while you're on your way to your destination.

(I guess it's because I'm the one who thinks so.)

(That's right...)

Setuna lurked her eyebrows in an unwilling gavel in her brain.

It is an indisputable fact that the return and re-summons can be carried out continuously because it is Setuna. Normally, activation of an armed subpoena requires the construction of a long spell. Setuna, which can be activated solely by the term armed summons, was heretical among the armed summoners. It's about Quon if there are other people who can do that, but in the case of Quon, you might just want to constantly deploy the Shield of Messiah.

That shield could have been a light source.

Second, I remember Kuon and I get depressed.

(... if you are depressed?

"I know."

Even if they don't say so, I know.

I'm here now because I lost to Quong and broke my heart.

I went to hell.
