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

When the body of the lion Ourariel vanished without a trace, only Esq was left alone.

The battle is over.

It was just a death fight.

It was a struggle that risked my life, and there was what Esq kept asking for.

A triumph that did everything in its power, exceeded its limits and finally grabbed it.

Yet there is so much vanity.

Win and you'll be filled. Kill your enemies and you'll be glad. That's usually how I was supposed to feel, and all this time, I had myself that I couldn't be that way.

It is still raining in the area where the Lord is gone. The rain sounds strangely comfortable, perhaps because it also envelops the voidness.

(Done......)

Esq looked down at his hand. I don't see a single scar on my hand that's no different than a human. No wrists, no arms, no elbows, no shoulders, no scratches left on the torso or feet. Said it was all chopped up and split up, but there were no scars whatsoever.

Normally, they should be dead at the time they split up.

But he didn't die.

Why is that?

('Cause you're not human... right)

If you were human, Ourariel would have killed you and you would have been desperate.

If you were human, you wouldn't have felt the real sense of victory, with this kind of voidness.

So he thinks quietly about how he should receive that he is no longer human.

In the first place, at the time of survival of the “Great Destruction," at a time when a being called the Spirit reached out to me for salvation, Esq should probably be considered to have become different from man.

Originally, he lost his life at the time of the Great Destruction.

(... oh)

Esq slowly raised his face, finding another foot that reflected on the rain-soaked ground. I remember seeing phosphorescent feet some time ago. It's Doreen's leg.

If I looked up, Doreen and Remill stood. The two pale lighted smiles delighted that Esq has survived.

I know.

In his chest, he said.

What do you know?

Doreen and Remill standing in front of you are not real.

It is an illusion that the Spirit shows, it is nothing more than a delusion that does not involve an entity.

Therefore, both Doreen and Remill remain silent and look exactly as Esq wanted them to look, exactly as he thought they would.

It must also be for that reason that I didn't see O'Larriel.

Why did the spirits show such illusions to Esq?

You don't have to ask the spirits, I get it.

You inspired me.

I'm sure you do.

"Thank you."

The words of gratitude were addressed to the spirits who dwell in their own flesh, and shortly after that, the illusions of Doreen and Remill could disappear without a trace.

Not that there was a finish or anything, but I guess that's good.

Not if you're immersed in the aftertaste.

The battle is over.

He killed the lion O'Larriel, who lived during the Qing Dynasty.

I have to go.

We must move on and aim to rendezvous with the Setunas.

And we should defeat the Lion God Emperor and settle for all of this battle.

Oulariel was pleased to have been reborn as a lion and had the power to fight. But not everyone does. Some will despair of being forcibly reborn by the lion god emperor, and more importantly, the world is likely to be destroyed if the lion god emperor is left alone.

You can't admit that.

Health is still there.

I've worn out a lot, but my body is still moving, and I can fight as long as I have my life. There's nothing wrong with that. More importantly, you got a body that doesn't die that easy, so even if you run out of strength, can you be as good as a shield for Setuna?

That was a pleasure for Esq.

"Though..."

Esq looked around in the rain, about to walk out.

The terrain, dramatically altered by the repeated clashes between Esq and Ourariel, is only surrounded, but the unchanged scenery persists far away.

I'm pretty sure it's inside Narunnirnol, but it wouldn't be my fault it seems like a vaster space than Narunnirnol itself, and I had no idea how I could get out of this space.

(I thought that would be fine if I killed Ourariel...)

Apparently, that's not how it works.

And that was when I thought so.

"Nooo."

When I wondered if the space ahead of Esq's gaze was distorted, there was a big hole in the void, something descended from that hole, settling on the ground and flying muddy water.

"What a fashion!?

As holes open in the void close, the person who descends onto the muddy ground raises his anger. The appearance, the voice, the expression, everything looked familiar. It's Ragna.

"I thought it was another sudden appearance, nothing but a spatial transfer!? Who do you think I am? The Dragon King of the Three Kingdoms is the Queen in Green!? Shouldn't we be more respectful!?

The person Ragna was angry with was someone Esq didn't even know very well. Can I call you a person, or not? It is an alien being, with an appearance reminiscent of divine soldiers and apostles. However, the fact that it is not white, but a clear cherry blossom color, seems to indicate that it is different from them as well.

I clearly recognize that figure.

I'm watching right before the esc is transferred to this space.

Sometimes I waited in Narunnirnol and wondered if it belonged to Nea Gandia, but things are not right.

Because Ragna doesn't attack, she's just eating it. It didn't look hostile.

"Ra, Ragna..."

It's Elina who's trying to contain her by trying to pull Ragna's hand. Looking at both of them intrigued is Twa, which means that of the entry group, four could be confirmed safe.

Esq, somewhat relieved, spoke to the Ragnas.

"... if you think anything, Erina to Ragna, and Twa"

"Mm... isn't that an esc"

"Mr. Esq, you're safe!

"Hmm..."

Ragna and Elina seemed pleased with Esq's safety, but Twa had an indescribable look. I have no choice but to be involved.

"Ouch. I just shot a lion."

I mean, we killed the lions first.

"What...?

Esq couldn't believe what Ragna had told him to be proud of winning.

"We fought the lions, too, and we won."

"That's right. You've won by three of us!

"Ragna..."

"Ma... only if there was Elina's qi bone and Twa's driving would it be a potato"

"... I'm not sure what it is, but I'm glad you're okay anyway."

Esq did not ask for details. We agreed that it would be a long story. More important than that.

"So... how did you get here?

I don't know.

"I don't know."

"Ragna is right. We don't know."

So, Elina looked out for the back.

At the end of her gaze lies a beautiful monster of cherry blossom color.

"If I shoot a lion, this one shows up... so"

"Did they bring you here?

"Yes."

"I'm not sure he's hostile."

"No hostility..."

If you ask me, sure, I couldn't feel any hostility from that monster.

Ever since we first met, we have been.

Are you on your side that you joined the escs without hostility?
