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

"You just have to be an apostle"

Speaking without further ado, Setsuna looked out for Twa. The Born Goddess doesn't seem to know exactly what Setuna is talking about, leaning her little neck. But she's also a natural goddess. You must have some understanding of what you can do to God.

"Twa's?

"That's right. That way you can extend your life."

"... ok. If that makes you feel better."

"I don't know, I'm sorry, I don't know."

Setuna was nothing more than a sigh.

It's not like I don't understand Kuon's mood either. It is no exaggeration to say that his battle with Setuna ended in Setuna's overwhelming victory, but it was also not a settlement that he was heartily convinced of. Therefore, it was impossible for him to show how he was reluctant, but there was no way to do it.

As for Setsuna, we couldn't have lost him.

That's why I didn't kill him.

I figured out a way to keep it alive and moved it to execution.

That meant breaking the connection with the Lion God Emperor, and making a covenant with Twa. That way we thought we could extend his life. It was a bet if I could really do it, but there was no other way. There's nothing I can do just to keep him alive. He is the apostle of the Lion God. While ruled by the Lion God Emperor, you can't welcome him as an ally or anything, and he will rebel.

"If you die now, we'll be the ones in trouble."

"Trouble?"

Don't ask me what I know.

"... oh yeah"

Quon nodded quietly, probably because he understood Setsuna's good wishes.

And he knelt in front of Twa. I just thought I'd take an oath of obedience.

Twa then touches Quon's head with his small, thin hand. He said he didn't have anything to say to Twa, but it seemed as if he understood Setuna's thoughts as a whole. In fact, she may be reading Setuna's thoughts. God is equipped with such powers.

In the next moment, the collapse of Quon's flesh stopped. On the contrary, it began to regenerate rapidly and quickly came back to normal. Regardless, it's not what you look like as a human being, it's what you look like as an apostle.

"Who gets the most profit when one of us wins as a result of me and you killing each other? I can see that. It was clear to me. But I got on with your childish provocation. I almost destroyed you and wiped you out of the world."

Quon gets up quietly and shifts his gaze from Twa to this one.

"... that's fine, I thought"

Kuon's eyes remain golden. There was no more animosity among the millions of gods of the world, his proxy, that existed until earlier. There is a soft, but somewhere choppy light. A light so calm that it is likely to disappear now.

"Me, Setsuna. I wanted you to destroy me."

Quon's confession was not unexpected for Setuna. You can call it what you imagined. So, nothing, I cleared my ears.

"I wanted to protect this world. I was summoned to this world, and I thought to myself as I came into contact with one of the people in this world, knowing this world, understanding this world. You were born to protect this world. That's why I was born, in the sense of being alive, thinking it was the significance of dying. You can say you believed. Simple, but that was all I had."

As for how intense and pure his thoughts were, we can also see from his full mission from Mizu. It was straight enough to emit a dazzling light that I was able to burn down my life. Even one of the impurities would not have been able to do that if it had been mixed.

"... thanks"

"Why?"

Quon laughed as he mocked himself.

"What are you thanking me for?" In the end, I couldn't protect anything. The world, the people around us, the precious ones, they all... couldn't protect themselves. "

"Still, thanks to your initiative, the world was spared its doom."

That is a very serious fact.

"That day, that time"

The last day of the continent.

"If you hadn't taken action, if you hadn't risked your life to face it, this world would have been doomed."

At that moment, it was precisely the ritual of the resurrection of the Holy King that was about to be accomplished.

It could be stopped because the collaborators led by Kuon's White Shield and the knights of Benoagard took action and broke the ritual. As a result, the continent collapsed and the world collapsed. Many lives have been lost and the world has fallen into a deadly situation. But blaming them for what they did is a big mistake. Instead, I should have appreciated it.

If they hadn't risked their lives to stop the ritual, if they hadn't stopped the resurrection of the Holy King, the world might have perished by now.

It is highly probable that the resurrected Miendia would have destroyed them in vain.

That the world is thus alive was not in itself an exaggeration when it came to miracles.

It was Quon who carried out that miracle, the ones who stood up to the world with him. So do the members of the White Shield, and so do the Messiah God Mivula and the Thirteen Knights. Many other collaborators gathered to stop the resurrection of the Holy King, to face it with Quon and to end the ritual to failure.

That is why the world still exists.

"You think there's anything but gratitude?

"... but we were reborn as lions and became spirits of Nea Gandia, the Lion God Emperor."

"That's for this time, too, right?

It wasn't so much Setuna that they didn't just stick around raw without darkness. There is no way that such a lowly bearer of hearts would take action at the expense of his life.

"... it's no match for you at all"

"Well said. It's me who's no match, Quon."

Setsuna did not want to scoff at herself with her shoulders flaunted.

"You've got everything in sight, and I've been able to get here the way you want."

Here, is not about the place.

Should it be called a state or a frontier? Either way, it points to Setuna's own current situation. And I don't know that. It's not a quon.

"But that's why you won't die again."

"I guess. I have my sins, and I must be punished. I can't live. I'm alive."

"What happens to me?"

As Setuna sighed, Quon tilted his little nipple.

"I've taken more lives than you, I have."

It is that, when it comes to the lightness of sin, Setuna's sins should be far heavier.

"You're going to save more lives. Is that all right with you?

"That's not the problem."

"Well, yeah."

Kuon didn't seem to be bound by his opinions. I guess it's because he thinks so himself. If sin can be redeemed in any way, that's fine, that's not the idea. I can't wipe it off, so I just have to hold it and live.

"And. I thought you said so. If you die, you're in trouble."
