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

Lesson Two Thousand Six Hundred Fifty Seven: What Unites God (2)

"That day, that time, in that place, I died. That is a harsh fact, an unstoppable reality. The power that destroyed the world destroyed my flesh, and destroyed even my soul. But Setsuna, you never get sick. [M] It's not your fault. [M] It's nobody's fault. Because death was an inevitable fate."

Leongand's bluff is gentle, and his voice is also calm as it envelops him. It once reminded me of the days I spent at the Lion's Royal Palace in Gandion, shaking Setuna's heart violently. Isn't it indisputable, Leongando Ray-Gandia himself sitting on the throne? Doubt shakes and makes me want to believe in Leongando.

Setsuna honored, honored, believed and loved Leongando from the bottom of her heart. I have the fact that Leongand found me. It is the truth, no matter how the world changes and how transformed fate may be. Found by Leongand, got a place. For Setsuna, who had been summoned from different worlds and had no stopovers, the place Leongando had prepared for us was, above all, a comfortable and tranquil world.

Gandhian era.

That's the golden day for Setsuna.

Therefore, I could not tolerate anything that bears the name of Leongando, and I thought it should be crusaded, such as the leader of Nea Gandhia, who names him Leongando Raegnas-Gandhia and others.

But apparently, the lion god, the emperor Leongando Laignas-Gandia, is his beloved Leongando Ray-Gandhia.

"But this is how I live now. It's also the truth. You'll see, Setsuna. I am reborn."

"Born...... changed"

That one word crushed to the contrary reminds Setuna of her previous battles and many of them in the back of her brain. Man, if you die, that's it. Death is an eternal separation from this world and an absolute consequence. Normally, it cannot be overturned and cannot be denied or rejected. We have to accept it, we have to admit it.

But there was no way to overturn the absolute consequences of that death.

As Setuna did to Rem, by continuing to connect and stop in this world as immortal beings by assigning life with some force, it is a way of rejecting death or of transcending the absolute fact of death by reincarnating it as an apostle of God. In the case of Leongand, it was presumed that the latter would be the case. The latter has a precedent: Rigford Zell-Vandalize, who was reincarnated as Apostle Sagmaw of the Mauaw God, and Vishtar and the other Apostles, who are nearby, will do the same.

This means that Leongand overturned the absolute consequence of death by reincarnating as God's messenger, God's use.

Then I can be convinced by reason. There is in fact a person reborn in the Apostle, the fact that he was able to preserve himself and act independently of God's will. I guess Leongand also chose the path to remain in the world by being reborn as an apostle by some divine power. Like Rigford. Like the Quons.

"That's right, Setsuna. I am reborn. You never get sick of the consequences of a world war. [M] There is no shame in not being able to protect Wang Du. At that time, the use of all the power you could have could not have stopped the war. Your power alone. [M] No, you're not the only one. At that time, we combined the forces of all those who rolled out to the battlefield, and before the military might of the three forces, they were like dust before the wind."

I'm glad Leongand's words are called overwhelming realities. Yes, it is. The final war sparked by the three forces' pursuit of the "Promised Land” Gandhion, the battle over the King's capital Gandhion, which could be considered its final showdown, could not be helped at that time by the Setunas. Even if, at that time, we did not encounter Quon and were allowed to fight through to the end, it was clear that all Setuna could do was kill the generals of the three forces, something that would not contribute in any way to the final outcome.

Sooner or later, you must have done your best and lost your life.

But still, isn't that what you want to think about?

But Leongand continues as if he had even seen through such shaky thoughts in the depths of Setuna's mind.

"Besides. Even where you kicked through the three forces and defended the king's capital, the result would not have changed. The rite of the resurrection of the Holy King shall have been fulfilled, and the capital of the king shall have been extinguished by the power that arose at that time. So you don't have to be driven by your powerlessness and self-blame. It's not your fault. [M] Say no."

Leongand's voice was always full of mercy, and Setsuna realized herself that she wanted to hear it forever. The flame of the soul, which scorched his mind until earlier, and pounded his body, is no longer losing much of its momentum and is about to disappear. The fact that the person in front of him is the reborn being of Leongand himself significantly diminishes Setuna's will to fight.

He is there as he was at the time of his former master's service. Even if it's not Setuna, isn't it something that makes you want to get a spear?

"It's not anyone's fault. Whether the generals of the three forces are bad, the leaders of the three forces that caused the war are bad, or the gods who reigned on them are bad. If there was evil, there would be a man who made such promises to the world and made rituals."

Leongand says strictly.

From that look, from the ends of his words and deeds, Setuna could not help but recall the days of the former royal palace, and it seemed highly unlikely that he would be a phony to name Leongando more than that. I want to think, more of an emotion, maybe it's close.

I want to believe it's Leongand.

The loss of Leongando was a hopeless event for Setuna and ultimately unacceptable. Still, I had to accept it, drink it down, and try not to think about it, so I managed to do it until today. If Leongand is to be resurrected and alive, it also means to be free from such suffering.

"But the resurrection itself was prevented. By making a noble sacrifice, the ritual of the resurrection of the Holy King ended in failure. As a result, the continent has collapsed... but there is no way. It would be far better than the Holy King being resurrected and destroying the world itself. Don't you think so? Setuna."

Saint Emperor Miendia Raegnus-Wargrain said that, after his resurrection, he intended to destroy the world. It is for this reason that the ritual of the Resurrection of the Holy Emperor must be prevented, and the Quons and the thirteen knights risked their lives. And the ritual of the resurrection of the Holy King ended in failure, but the price was great, tearing the world apart. “The Great Destruction." It would be damaging or unimaginable, but certainly more than the world would perish. Even though many lives have been taken and the world is on the verge of doom, it is alive.

It leaves room for salvage.

"... Yes"

When Setsuna nodded small, Leongand looked surprised at how strange the reaction had been.

"... what's up, Setsuna? What, are you even questioning it? Don't you doubt me? No, is there any reason to doubt it? A dead man came back to life. I don't think there can be such a thing. Wouldn't you?

"No, it is not, Your Majesty"

"Hmm. So, what? Setsuna. Whatever. It's between you and me. Let's forgive any remark."

Leongand says to Eagle Deep Fried.

Even with one of its tricks, it is Leongando Ray-Gandia, whose facts shake Setuna's mind and cloud her vision.
