Trinitas Mundus

Episode V: The Power of Vanitas

Before noon on April 1st.

The Rays, who left the village of Leriche, were on their way to the fort Toa on the border of the Kingdom of Kaum.

A hundred fully armed Little Ghost warriors and two hundred goblins led by the Great Ghost Warrior Nestri Kronvar and Einar Slangs of the Little Ghost are imminent on them like that.

Immediately after the council of chiefs began, Einar took off the mask that was making it look like it was being revamped. Most of all he had really changed his mind in front of Luna and Ray, and he himself was sincerely sorry at that time.

But it was clever psychological manipulation by the God of Nothingness (Vanitas). If it were a superficial act, it would have been nursed by Uno and Stella, but the perfect psychological manipulation also deceived the Unos, the middlemen of practice.

Having undergone a new psychological manipulation, Einar used his current position to forge orders from the chiefs and move soldiers. At that time, it also says that Nestri's prudence is to be lifted, and none of the soldiers in the village of Leriche suspected.

And the chosen soldier became a member of the Slangs family of his children, and a “white sorcerer” blew in that he was about to abduct the son of the moon. The soldiers followed him without question. Even here, Vanitas was manipulating the soldiers.

Ray stands in front of one giant fallen tree in the woods and waits for them.

(If only Nestri and Einar are manipulated by the Nothingness (Vanitas), they can also be magically defeated. But if the other soldiers had been manipulated, it wouldn't be a good idea to have a riot here. This place could buy us some time if we stick together with Ash, Stella and Uno. But it's hard not knowing how much time to buy...)

Ray is convinced that if soldiers of this size have moved, Tarvo Kronvar and others in the village of Leriche are aware of the actions of the Nestori and are on their way to rescue them. But I couldn't read the extent of that time difference at all.

Little ghost warriors came running ahead of Nestri. Nestri's expression is an ugly mix of hate and joy, and Luna is turning away unexpectedly.

"Lord Nestri, what can I do for you," Ray spoke in a tone that could be described as pleasant. However, Nestri continues to run without answering any of the queries.

Ray instructs Luna to "Speak to the Little Ghost Warrior" and sets up a love spear white horn (Albumcorne). Around him the Ashleys were pulling out their swords.

"Little Ghost Warriors! Do you know who I am! I am Luna, son of the moon! You are all my comrades and comrades fighting evil gods! ……

Luna's inquiry stops with the feet of the Little Ghost Warriors and Operators (Tamer). But that expression was completely different from that of yesterday, when it was dark and had an enthusiastic reaction.

(Are the little ghosts being manipulated too... you don't seem complete. If it works, I might be able to unbrainwash it......)

Ray's hopeful observations are immediately smashed.

"My fellow countrymen! Don't let your child confuse you! Your son now is being manipulated by a white magician! Now is the time to defeat our enemy, the White Mage, and bring your son back!

That's what Einar, who was behind the group, shouted, and Nestri also said, "Clear the mindless of our countrymen scattered in the west! Go on!" he shouts and shakes his axe up.

"Nestri will be dampened with me and Ash! Stella, please Luna! Don't let the Unos surround you! Consider buying more time than defeating your enemies!

When Ray yells like that, he points the spear at Nestri.

"Your brother, Lord Orvo, has responded to a single ride with me! You coward, you're not like your brother! You're afraid of a ride with me!

Nestri growls furiously at the mockery.

"You! Are you trying to tell me I'm a coward!

"If you're not a coward, lower the Ghost Clan and respond to a single ride with me! Lord Orvo ordered the nearby warriors to step back."

Nestri rode Ray's provocation.

"You and me alone are enough! Nobody get their hands on me!," he shouted, poking at Ray. Ray will be relieved when he can handle this,

"The opponent is a cowardly white magician! Steady around Lord Nestri! Don't lay your hands on the white magician! Except for the others! Destroy them!"

Einar's orders say, "Ooh!" In response, the Little Ghost Warriors arrive at the Ashleys. I don't think Nestri will intervene in his battle either, and I don't pay attention to the movements of the Little Ghost Warriors.

"Coward! You want me to solidify myself around the ghost tribe and prevent my attacks! Respond to a beating with dignity!

Ray screams like that again, but Nestri says, "Shut up!," he says, slashing it.

Ray thought he couldn't do anything with his words and had to concentrate on fighting Nestri.

Luna knew her words wouldn't reach their hearts and was wondering what to do.

(In this situation, nobody listens to me. If I had a bow, I could help a little, but I can't do anything right now...)

Ione, who was next to her like that, calls out.

"Let's pray. If your child's prayers go through the noctice, the miracle should happen."

When Luna looked back, Ione, with such a serene expression that she didn't think it was a battlefield, was staring at her. The figure is exactly what should be called the Virgin, and Luna also immediately understood the purpose.

"Okay. Let's pray together."

Luna drooped her head over the giant tree and began praying. Next to it, Ione also prays, but as far as possible as the last fort, she clenches a stick about two melts long.

Ashley was desperately waving her sword as she was swallowed up by the waves of goblins with her pushing little ghost warrior.

(It's an unsavory situation. I'm still better, but too narrow for Stella and Lord Uno. It could be two dances to the battle on the outskirts of Periclitle......)

At the end of the Periclitle offensive, the Unos Beastly Slave Squad was consolidating around to protect Ray, but they fell prey to the Little Ghost maneuvers who had used and abandoned Goblins.

(It can be difficult if Ray can use magic even if we buy time...... we've only spent a year together! You can't end this here!

When Ashley was ready, she began to provoke the Little Ghost Warrior.

"Are you still the samurai" Houfu "! One belly aches when a coward who is just hiding behind a goblin tries to take the son of the moon! If you regret it, call me!

Several little ghost warriors said to her provocation, "What!" and raise the voice of anger. But soon, from behind, Einar pushes it and holds it in a fierce tone.

"Don't get on the cheap provocation! To protect your son! How much humiliation and so much more!

The Little Ghost Warrior stops at the word of the Commander. While Ashley is greatly discouraged inside, she slashes the goblins with her proud sword.

"It can't even be a goblin or a shield! If a coward can't come out, I'll go here! You wait there trembling!

Young Little Ghost Warriors erupt into further provocation.

"Get out of the way! I'll beat you up!

He forced his own family back. As a result, there can be a subtle gap with other goblins.

Ashley entered that gap forcefully, swinging the Great Sword horizontally through it like a wheel. At the next moment, the neck of the five goblins is bounced, and blood sprays up like a fountain.

Furthermore, he put his sword up against the little ghost warrior who was wolfed by the sight and quickly returned to his original position.

But that effort can't change a lot either, and soon the goblins will swarm us.

Stella had masterfully repositioned and defeated the Goblins while working with the Unos. Her twin swords already defeated more than ten goblins and wounded several Little Ghost warriors, but at their feet accumulated the bodies of goblins, gradually narrowing the range within which they could move.

(It will be crushed as it is... This is what Lady Ray said about the “number of violence”. There are two more swords to throw, and the sharpness of the sword... I don't know what to do...)

Though there was still room, the blood paste and the sharpness of the sword were getting worse, making it harder to keep pace with a single blow.

(Lady Ray and Lady Ashley still seem to be able to afford it, but it would be dangerous to keep it that way. But Master Ray can't move now either. If I could do something about it, it would be that guy...)

I think of Luna, who prays behind herself as she waves her sword. But I saw no signs of change at all.

Ray could afford it while fighting Nestri.

(Nestri is no big deal compared to Lord Tarvo and Lord Orvo. Of course, I'm sorry if I hit you, but I don't feel like I could do it if I didn't even make a mistake...)

In fact, Nestri's skill is low, and that's why he hasn't been selected as a Western dispatcher. However, only the Great Ghost Clan and only Stamina are phenomenal, and the more distracted they are, the more they continue to slaughter each other for more than five minutes.

(Even if we defeat this guy, the little ghosts will attack us. I guess I won't have time to use magic. Looks like the Ashes are knocking down about fifty as well, but it doesn't feel diminished at all... I don't know what to do...)

With that in mind, he definitely hurts his enemies with love spears. As a result, Nestri is bloodstained, but the Great Ghost Clan, which boasts comparable endurance to the Auga, has not even shown tiredness, rather than falling.

Conversely, Ray, who was supposed to be keeping the stamina warm with minimal movement, was starting to get more tired.

I had to keep waving my spear while I couldn't see a way to open it.

When I was losing my sense of time about how many minutes I was fighting, I gradually saw a change in the enemy's movements.

The voices of the little haunted manipulators (Tamers) who were running the goblins from behind were diminishing. With that, the movements of the goblins are also beginning to lack glory.

Ray kept fighting Nestri, so I don't understand what's going on. But soon it turns out why.

"Prayer made sense! Give us all your words, my son."

Ione's voice reached him and he understood that Luna had the effect of continuing to pray to Noctis.

"What are you doing! Your son will not come back to us unless you finish off the white magician!

Einar's hurried voice woods spirits in the woods. But no Little Ghost Warrior responded to his voice, looking around as if confused.

Einar boiled his business and sent his own family, thirty goblins, under Luna.

"Yes! Take your son away! Go!"

The Unos tried to react to it, but the goblins are still surrounding it, so they can't make a move.

"Dear Stella! Please," Uno exclaims, slashing and throwing away the goblin in front of Stella. "Thank you," Stella thanked, backwards in a buck turn, climbing over a giant tree.

The goblins desperately try to climb a giant fallen tree, but because they are short torso, they cannot climb inside. Einar is in a hurry, but there were no more hitters.

I thought this would work out, but someone overturned it.

Nestri, who had been slackened by Ray, said, "Ooh!" I raised the roar. The roar didn't make him feel his natural heat, it even made him feel the cold rejecting everything like a snowstorm blowing through the mountains of Aquila.

The roar drove the goblins crazy.

Originally, we could not order Goblins, who were not family members either, but some power worked and the Goblins were struck by the Unos as if they had panicked.

Behind them, the little ghost manipulator (Tamer) desperately tries to control his family, but the goblins are danced to Nestri's roar as if to laugh at the effort.

"Behold the power of Lord Nestri! This is the power of a warrior, loved by Noctis! Hostile, take care of the white magician!

Einar strikes the goblins like crazy. The Little Ghost warriors and manipulators (Tamers) began to follow it, bewildered.

(Luna's prayers were cancelled? Is this Vanitas' intervention... If so, defeat Nestri (this guy) and we might figure it out...)

Ray stopped buying time and went on offense all at once. However, Nestri changes from his many wasted moves earlier, showing an axe that makes a superior warrior a "howl".

(Is this also the power of Vanitas?... to avoid being hit from the point of pushing it off...)

At this time, Nestri was just waving his axe as he craved and was drunk on the power.

(I will defeat the white magician... I can be me... instead of my brother now, I even exceed my father...)

At this time, as he thought, it was beyond the physical abilities of Tarvo, the best warrior of the Ghost Nation, or his successor, Orvo. Time is seemingly flowing slowly for him, and his body is reacting even more as he wishes.

(Now even God can slaughter and kill... I am the strongest warrior! Cookkkkkkkkkk...... with this power I can even conquer the world to the king of Sokius, no......)

I wave my axe like a storm, intoxicated by my powers.

Ray regained his calm, although he was confused at first.

(Sure, the slaughter got more accurate and sharper, but that's all. I'm not as desperate as I was when I dealt with Mr. Hamish...... well! I'm just waving my axe at the mercy of my strength, and I don't have a strategy to hunt it down. If so, there's a way to do it!

He had been trained by the fierce men of the Mercenary Corps of Markat (Red Arms) and beaten into the way he fought. From that look in his eyes, although a slaughter just sharp is a threat, it never gave him a sense of despair.

Conversely, he begins to explore Nestri's weaknesses.

(You can't poke me with an axe. Besides, Nestri is only going to make a monotonous fuss right now. If you weigh the timing and put a blow in the steeple, anything should stop moving......)

Ray was carefully targeting back while dodging a huge axe with a piece of paper.
