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

Episode Two Thousand Four Hundred and Eighty-Nine: The Apostle of Mauau

The return of the Wolknakt to Noabur was extremely rapid and never disturbed along the way. And on that road, we are also urging demonic ships and others who are on guard at sea to return to port. It was obvious that he wasn't the one who could do something about it, even though I know he'd come across a payback where he boarded that castle on a demonic ship. Attacks from the sea have also become common.

The castle floating in that sea was not just a castle.

According to the Mayuri God, it was built by the power of God, and a half-breed attack would not even allow us to destroy the walls. He said it could even withstand the onslaught of the Setunas, who sank the majority of the ships weaving the large fleet. Mayuri, God's dedication to leaving that watershed is also something I understand. In that situation where Setuna and the others were exhausted, there was no way to hit them.

That was the same for the messenger of Mauau. Without attacking the castle, which appeared at sea, he chased the Ulknakt to the coast off Noabourg.

Setuna and Rem know to some extent about Mauau God. I believe that Mauau God and I have succeeded in deepening mutual understanding through dialogue, and that there is nothing like that goddess turning to the enemies of Setuna, because it was still unclear whether that apostle was on Setuna's side. I'm not even sure if you helped me attack the big convoy.

First, I needed to know what he really was.

For this reason, Setuna went to the Mayuri God to unload the ship at sea and tried to make contact with the Apostle of Mauau. Because I thought you would follow me as far as Noabourg. Noabourg is home to the Kneeweheins. It is not what the messenger of the Mauaw God found out what he would do to them, who have no connection with the Mauaw God. Therefore, it was necessary to make contact first and make sure that there was no harm.

"Talk to me, will you?

I don't know.

"I'm not sure, but how about trying to make contact?"

Setsuna laughed back as Miliu came as if he had been stunned.

"If he is truly a Mauau-like apostle, he will respond to dialogue"

Otherwise, there was a chance we could have a fight, but I believed it wouldn't. From the Apostle, you may feel the sign of the Mauaw God. Irrelevant, there is.

I don't know.

"Dear Miliu, don't worry. Master Mauau was kind."

"If that's what Rem is... well"

"What the hell is going on?"

"Setsuna is vulnerable to beauty, and Mauau is God, she says she's beautiful"

"Ha."

As Setuna sighed at Miliu's extra worries, the messenger of Mauau God approached the closest distance of the Urknacto and stopped moving. It was then that Setuna finally grasped that the Apostle was so immense that he could not compare himself to man. Apostolic height would be about twice the height of Setuna. The gigantic body was all whitened up, as if it was wrapped around something like armor knitted in scales. My long hair was tangled all over my body from above it. As a whole, it resembles a human being. He has five bodies and stands on two legs. Making faces looks just like humans. I have two eyes, a nose, and a mouth. I felt like I looked familiar somewhere, but I guess it's my fault. I do not know the Apostle.

In his hand, he holds a weapon like a giant wax. What he uses for mobility is an albeit whitened object as well. I guess it's more of a creature than an object. The whole thing is huge drawing streamlined. It had something to imagine a whale somewhere. Maybe it's a deified fish. For, should it be called a divine fish?

And when the apostle let go of his temple, he assimilated it so that the temple would be taken in by the divine fish. The Divine Fish may be part of the Apostle or vice versa. Either way, it is certain that neither is considered a creature of the world.

"I'm glad I didn't have to be mistaken for an enemy."

The Apostle laughed when he said that at the opening.

"Is...?

"Huh...?

Setuna looked at Rem with an instant understanding that the voice was strangely heard. And a tremendous shock pushes me like a fury. That can't be happening. It can't be. But I can't think of anything else. Other than him. Because that was his voice. No, I miss him, his voice.

"No, thanks to the protection of my God."

"General Rigford......?

"It is an honor for you to remember my voice. Lord Setuna."

He said, still with a voice he had heard and went in a flamboyant manner. There is no harm or malice there. Rather, it's just good intentions. Only good will for the Setunas is there. The fact was dazzling enough. Dazzling, vividly shocking.

"Oh no..."

"I don't..."

Setuna and Rem snapped at the heterophony and gazed at the apostolic anomaly. Once again, I lost my word. Rigford Zell-Vandalize. He is a former Western Empire Naval Admiral and his status as a Naval Admiral has not changed in the Unified Empire either. Naturally. What would have happened to the Western Empire had it not been for his activity of sending the Setunas to Lyohan by the Melissa Noah? His accomplishments, as immeasurable, were highly valued by Niewehein and other Unified Imperial Heads of State, who, as soon as he returned home, would be honored.

Even so, yes.

Setuna was just stunned as she took a serious look at Rigford, who was no longer even human.

It wasn't the Setunas who were shocked. Faria, Miliu, Elina, even Darks, should have been stunned.

"General Rigford..."

"You're lying...?

Regardless, for the Phalia and the others, there is only a perception that a person named General Rigford was the one who sent Setuna and Rem to Vashtalia. Nevertheless, it is only natural for us to be shocked if a person who is also involved in us has borne fruit with the Apostle of God.

He became an apostle.

If there is a difference with a divine man, it is whether there is an ego there, and I guess that makes the biggest difference and the only difference. Divine men, divine beasts, divine birds - those who have been subjected to albinism and transformed into monsters gain immense vitality and power, but lose themselves instead. Unless it is also served by God or the Apostle, it can only end up with a violent device that merely destroys and kills.

In that regard, the Apostle, was not. It is given by God the power to be selfish and to use divine men and divine beasts.

In other words, does Rigford mean that he was chosen by God?

To the sea god Mauau.

"Why... no..."

If Setsuna doesn't even know what to say, he'll just say it in a flash.

"There's nothing to be sad about. I died once, and was saved by Master Mauau. You should be happy with that."

"Dead...?

"What do you mean?

Setuna looked for his remnants as an old general, staring at Rigford's changed face. Is it overwhelming that there is still a slight look on his face in the human age?

"It was after I broke up with Lord Setuna and Lord Rem. We boarded the Melissa Noah and headed home. It went well on its way."

However, the ship's journey, thought to be smooth and full of sails, was suddenly consumed by a winding disaster.

"A flying ship appeared and attacked the Melissa Noah. We had no resistance. Regardless, I instructed the armed summoners to escort the ship, but they didn't make it. The ship sank and we were thrown out into the sea. And I lost my life."

"Nea Gandia......"

Setsuna bit her teeth. At that time, if I had acted with the Melissa Noah carrying the Rigfords, I would not even think about it as foolish. In that case, the islands of Zalwarn and Logner would have been devastated, and the southern continent would have been even worse off, remaining dominant in the Eastern Empire. And that's not what Rigford wants.

"Dear Rigford..."

"Neither I nor anyone aboard that ship lost my life without a single one. But there was no regret. Lord Setuna. Because you were there."

"I...?

"Yes. I promised you would help His Majesty Niewehein, and I was seen on that journey. You would certainly save His Majesty Kneewehein from his predicament. That's what I believed. So I didn't regret anything."

And he laughed lightly.

"- Nevertheless, it is also a fact that Master Mauau couldn't help but take the hand he reached out to me. In short, I guess the quality is poor. In the end, the desire to help His Majesty Niewehein prevailed"

So he was reborn as a messenger of Mauau God.

with the sailors of the Melissa Noah.
