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

Silence ensued.

Everyone who heard the detailed explanation by Setsuna seemed to have trouble deciding what to say and what words to utter.

On Setuna's lap a little flying dragon shaped ragna faces, and the gods also mouth and contemplate each one. Midgard didn't talk in silence either, and Urk stared at this one with a worrying look on his face.

I'm moving the location from the outskirts of Magic Castle to a room in the basement of Magic Castle. With the effect that all the buildings that were on the ground have been thoroughly destroyed, the research facilities underground have been substituted as reception rooms, but there have been no particular problems.

We gathered in a large indoor area and talked face-to-face about an anomaly that was happening to Setsuna.

It's called a curse.

After a fierce battle with the evil god Ashtra, who scattered chaos over Benoagard, the stranded Ashtra let go of one hand. That's the curse, but at first, I had no idea what it was or what its effects were.

Days passed without coming in any way to interfere with everyday life or battle, unless there was any action from right after the curse.

I noticed discomfort in one of those days as if it had been long since I was cursed.

Ashtra set such a clever and complex curse on Setuna, and herself, too, was cursed and fallen. If you believe in the story of Towya, it means that Ashtra, who fell from the throne of God, was destroyed by the Towya, which was to show a serious fact.

Because there is a big premise that the only thing that can break the curse is the cursed one.

Thouya said that a lion god emperor could exceptionally break the curse, but I don't know if that's true.

If there is only one thing for sure, then, as things stand, there is no longer any way to break the curse placed on Setuna.

"... that was a chunk of self-esteem, but is it something that curses humans cheaply just because they've been cornered"

When the Followe God raised the question, the Ladanus God reacted. The three Midgard comrades, like Ashtra, are gods who were united in Vashtara.

For five hundred years, it was fused with Ashtra, so it's not surprising that I understand the way it thinks and is.

"After being cornered, if the opponent becomes the use of the Demon King, then Ashtra will have no idea what to do without calm!

"Hmm... if you say so, maybe so"

"But if Master Ashtra were to be destroyed by his things, the art of decursing..."

Only the Muza God in the Comrade Three God had a sympathetic attitude towards Setuna, and in his kindness, Setuna herself, had something to be struck by.

"He said that the Lion God could solve it."

"The king of the gods, the king of the lions, the king of the gods, may not be impossible."

It was the Mayuri God who reacted to Ragna's remarks. With a difficult look, go on.

"But there is no way that the Lion God Emperor can lift Setuna's curse without any benefit. If Setsuna were to pledge allegiance to the Lion God, he would solve it without a word or two."

"Because he said there was nothing to be solved."

Setuna quietly affirmed. A flying dragon on my lap looks up at me. Complicated emotions were swirling in his jade eyes.

"Setuna......"

"Lord Setuna, are you sure about that?

"There's nothing good or bad about it. I have to fight for the Lion God."

Setuna raised her face as she made sure to wrap Ragna around her with both hands. Next to Midgard, Urk is staring at this one. Her expression, which was no longer a doll but became extremely close to a human being, increased in abundance, but as a result, she could not help but think that it was as far as immorality was concerned that she was to remain cloudy. I want Urk to laugh more.

"The Lion God, the Emperor, is the vessel of power of the Holy King. You can't leave me alone, and go down to the military gate to break the curse, etc., so on."

"You just have to break the curse, okay?"

"That's not going to be convenient. They'll spot you."

"Mmm..."

"Besides, I know how the curse affected me. There's nothing wrong with..."

Hey, well, at the same time the words were jammed and my sight rocked. Eh, and I couldn't even raise my voice. As my eyes blurred rapidly, I felt every sensation disappear. The sensation of both hands enclosing the ragna, the limp body temperature of the ragna is no longer felt, and the voice and sound are kept away.

Only myself is left on the spot. It felt like the world was going away.

But consciousness does not fade.

Indeed he was there, and Setuna, therefore, bewildered.

I raised my voice.

I should have screamed.

But if you can't even hear yourself, your hands and feet won't move. I don't feel it, so I can't move it.

(What? What's happening?

It's dark in front of me, I can't see anything, I can't hear anything. I don't feel anything, I don't smell anything.

Nothing.

There is, nothingness.

Unknown darkness.

That's all.

(Ragna or Urk? Hey, you're in there, right? On my side!

Raise your voice.

Keep raising your voice. Scream with your voice. I don't mind a slit throat. I had to scream. I had to raise my voice.

I have to tell him that I'm here.

Otherwise, will it be left in the dark, unnoticed by anyone?

Such anxiety has pushed me like a flood.

(Answer me! Hey, hey......!

Scream.

Shout, shout, shout.

But it was also clear that there was no voice.

I'm just raising a cry in my heart that won't reach anyone.

(This is... the curse?

The doubt eventually turns to certainty.

It was inconceivable that it was an attack by a third party that had nothing to do with us or the curse. At a time when no one there has been able to react as one, it's impossible. Even if it is the attack of the Lion God, the more powerful it is, the less the gods can perceive it. There was Ragna, and there was Urk. There were a bunch of people who were good at sensing.

I mean, this didn't happen by some external factor.

Causes are within.

It was inside Setuna herself that this dark darkness existed and manifested itself.

(Is it a curse...)

I couldn't think of anything else.

Ashtra's curse.

More than an hour had already passed since Setuna suddenly passed out.

Ragna didn't understand what the anomaly that had happened to Setuna was, and she was reluctant to detect it beforehand, but the gods said it was natural.

"This is the curse, right?"

Midgard's reaction to calm itself was even a little hateful, but in these cases he also knew that it was more of a problem for someone in a position like him to disturb it.

Urk himself did not lack calm.

It was just something driven by helpless anxiety when Setuna, who was supposed to have been stroking Ragna, suddenly fell into the front and didn't stay up. Although I finally relieved myself by rushing over and making sure he was breathing, that didn't solve it.

The problem was serious.
