Trinitas Mundus

Episode 84: Full Light

Around 10 a.m. on September 2.

For his dialogue with the Holy King, Ray had followed five men: Ashley, Stella, Hamish, Alberic and Gareth, coming west of Lark Hill, to Westlaw Hill.

At the top of the hill awaited more than a hundred armed saints, and the Holy King welcomed them with an invincible look. Then, say you have been commissioned, and order the Holy Knights to unleash the magic of the arrows of light.

Ray faced only one of the Saints in anticipation of his armor, the defense of the Snow Clothes (Nixwestis), in order to take responsibility for the situation caused by his own alarm.

It was a desperate situation. No matter how high the armor's defense was, it was extremely unlikely that it could bounce back an attack from a hundred saints.

But that's where the miracle happened.

The Holy Knights were unable to gather the power of the Spirit at the root of their power and to activate their magic.

This is not so much the interference of the gods as what the Spirits of Light did voluntarily.

Ray is also supported by the Spirit of Light, just as Luna was supported by the Spirit of Darkness in Sochius. The Spirits of Light were not willing to harm the rays they supported and did not acknowledge the exercise of magic.

Maggioni Gastaldi, executive bishop of light divinity in this situation, said, "It is a miracle of God!," he proclaimed aloud, inviting the upset of the Holy Knights.

Gastaldi continues his words in an attempt to further confuse the Saint Knights, who are confused by the words.

"This is the most important proof that Lord Arklight can reveal in the manifestation of the God of Light (Lucidus), who presides over the magic of light!

And as if to stab a stop, he fingered and began impeaching Holy King Augustino I.

"Augustino did not believe in the trust under the Archbishop General and was confused by the Word of the Evil God! Holy knights! Discuss Augustino, who bowed to God! This is what I command as the deputy archbishop of God, under the name of Bernardino Rolfo!

I wondered what the Saints should do with the words.

Sure enough, I wonder who didn't activate the magic on one person, but with it, the Holy King decides that the Evil God has confused me.

But Gastaldi brought up the authority of the Archbishop General, the supreme power of the Holy Kingdom of Lukes. If the Holy King was indeed bewildered by the Evil God, it would be fatal to follow him.

"What are you doing! We have to shoot him!

The Holy King screams with his eyes running blood.

"We can still make it now! Beg God for mercy! If you follow the hand of the Evil God any more, you may not be able to use magic forever! In that case, you will permanently lose the status of a prosperous Saint Knight!

The Saints wandered over Gastaldi's words.

It is thanks to their status as Holy Knights that they have been able to leave their power in want. The Holy Knight, who has influence over both the Church and the Holy King's Palace, has more privileges than any other priest.

But it took two conditions to become the Holy Knight.

One is to be born in the line of the Holy Knight. And the most important condition is that light attribute magic can be used.

If you can't use light attribute magic, even your oldest son can't be the dominant one. Conversely, there is a good chance that even the Lord will be stripped of his status if he can no longer use the proof that he is the Holy Knight, the Light Attribute Magic.

Ray was confused, watching how it went.

(What's going on... I know the magic of the Saints is no longer available, but why is Bishop Gastaldi threatening the Saints...)

He does not understand exactly the power structure of the Holy Kingdom or what the Holy Knights are like. Also, the situation is changing too fast to follow my head.

But he switched heads.

I thought this situation might be a one-of-a-kind opportunity for the Holy King's Army.

(If you ride the words of Bishop Gastaldi here, you may be able to master the Holy King's Army. Besides, if you try to escape from here, it is possible that the Holy Knights will return to me. If that happens, the entire Holy King's Army can be attacked at the behest of the Holy King. Then we should go on a bet here!

Ray renews his resolve and leaves further forward.

(The Saints are confused. Then you can make that mess even bigger. Bishop Gastaldi declares that I am the manifestation of Lucidus. Only a small part of you can attack me in this situation. [M] If we let the magic shoot and take it out with this armor, the Holy Knights will have no choice but to believe the Bishop's words...)

He was forced to have an extra grin.

The Sacred Knights who saw it slip back. thereby distancing ourselves from nature and the Holy King.

There were only a few Saint knights left around the Holy King, who were close by.

"What are you doing! Kill him! You can't listen to the rest of the orders!" Though he shouted, he had not recovered from the impact that even the proximities could not use magic, and that distance had shrunk to about ten meters (melts).

"I follow the life of the God of Light (Lucidus). If you can still use magic, you can try shooting. Come on, shoot!

When Ray shouted so, he spread his hands wide open.

One of the neighbors casts a spell to unleash magic about whether he has become self-inflicted. But it wasn't the usual arrow of light (shining arrow), it was the arrow of flames (flame arrow).

"O Ignis, Lord of Fire... I seek the arrows of the fierce flames of your family, the Spirit. Wow, I'm not giving you the power of my life. Burn my enemies! Flame Arrow!"

Successfully create a flaming arrow while grasping the tension too many times. And released that flaming arrow towards Ray.

Although the distance was close, it was slow when it came to arrows, and his physical abilities were fully avoidable. However, without avoiding it, he did not make the flaming arrow slightly so as to receive it with his chest armor (Cuiras).

"Ray!", "Master Ray!" The cry of Ashley and Stella echoes.

A red burning flaming arrow hits Ray's chest directly.

The arrow of flames instantly extinguished his armor, the clothes of snow (Nixwestis), without scorching them.

A sigh of relief leaks from the Ashleys at the sight.

At this time, Ray was not as anxious as the Ashleys. Because the Sacred Knights' skill as magicians is low and even better at sealing light attributes, he was convinced that a single shot of magic would sufficiently prevent them with a highly magical performance Nixwestis.

Gastaldi kneels instantly and opens his hands as he looks up to heaven.

"Behold! The manifestation of God has descended! Lucidus, give us the light!

Ray approaches the Holy King without breaking his painful but serious look at his play-dyed tricks.

The Holy Knights accept Gastaldi's words into a scene they have never experienced before, kneeling one after the other.

The Holy King looked at the sight with a flashing expression, and began to tremble even more smugly.

"Consider Augustino, the hand of the evil god who rebelled against God!" Gastaldi's voice echoes, but still the Holy Knight cannot react.

In the meantime, Langess Fortunato, who was behind Ray, moved. He approaches the Holy King as if to obey Gastaldi's words.

"It is clear that it is treason to God. I will detain you as a heretic."

Fortunato slowly grabbed the Holy King's arm when he declared so in a low voice.

In response to that bold action, the Holy King said, "Disrespectful!" and absurd their voices, but none of the nearby tried to stop it until they had sacrificed themselves. Though they were close to the Holy King, they were not swearing allegiance to the Holy King, who was nothing more than a puppet of the Archbishop General.

When the Holy King realizes who is not on his side alone, he begins to ramble with his full strength. Fortunato, originally an active knight, cannot be rivaled, but Fortunato is also unwilling to harm the Holy King and cannot be contained.

"All those who side with Augustino, no, who do not move here, are guilty of the same sin as his! I'll cut you off as a traitor!

In one word the Saints moved in unison. It was enough to push Fortunato away until he even came out with something approaching the Holy King. Exactly. No one listened to Gastaldi and pulled out his sword, but he still holds it down with strength.

Ray could only watch the sight.

(I knew the Holy Knight was rotten, but I didn't know it was this bad... even if it was such an easy betrayal of someone I swore allegiance to as my lord...)

Though I set myself up, I was pioneered by the ugliness of the Holy Knight.

The Holy King and his neighbours were detained by the Holy Knight.

"Rude! Augustino's voice echoed, but there was none fearful of it.

The Saints bow their heads with a single knee poked towards Ray.

The sight seemed to be against the master.

Priests such as bishops and priests who watched in the rear renew their perception of being the manifestation of God, as Gastaldi put it, in response to Ray, who revamped the arrogant Holy Knight.

"You would have seen it! Lord Archrite, who is here, is Lucidus, who descended upon the earth! That proof is what the spirits do! There can be no other than God who can completely disable more than a hundred magics! Carve this into your heart and tell the faithful!

Gastaldi rose to his own good fortune at this time, stirring with a more lofty manoeuvre than usual.

(If Lord Arklight is recognized as the manifestation of God, he should be raised to Archbishop by the merits of this case. Even more meritorious, the Archbishop's seat is not even a dream. You have to find it useful for that. What does this person want......)

Ray was grateful that Gastaldi was able to master the Holy King's Army by raising his voice.

(I don't really like this guy himself, but it's true that he helped. I wish you could sincerely revamp me, like Mr. Fortunato... what more could we do now? I want to talk to someone, but that's not the atmosphere either. Now I have to work hard...)

When I put my temper back in my mind, I smile toward Gastaldi.

"Thanks to you, it helped. I will not forget this," he said after thanking Gastaldi, beginning to speak in a powerful tone, paying attention to the remaining Holy Knights, priests and officials of the Holy King's Palace to appear as honest as possible.

"This war is not God's will! It was caused by someone who was manipulated by evil gods, like His Holiness the Holy King earlier. But they're just victims too..."

The voice should only be heard by those who were originally in the curtains, but also by soldiers of the Holy King's Army around them and the people of the meadows further afield. This is because the spirits of darkness are delivering directly to their hearts, according to the will of the gods.

Although Ray used the word Evil God, he did not use the name Nothingness (Vanitas). Because within the doctrine of light divinity, evil is the god of darkness (Noctis), and if you name Vanitas here, you thought it would be confusing.

Ray continues his speech, thinking of people like religious leaders and saints in his memory, who should be mastered here at once.

"... there are beings who are trying to destroy this world. But its existence has an overwhelming strength, and no matter how many heroes it gathers in man, it cannot be overwhelmed..."

So I forcefully said, "But we also have a chance!," he let go.

"We pray to God who believes, without every man contending! God be sure to hear our prayers! Conflict creates nothing. No, strife creates hatred, and that is what powers evil gods! What we need to do now is not fight the Empire! It's not a weapon, it's taking the hands of someone you love! I assure you that is what God wants!

He himself thought his words were clean.

But he believed that vague words would give him a gap to penetrate, and he affirmed that it was God's desire to stop fighting and return to his homeland.

No one could react to Ray's words.

The spirits of darkness conveyed his thoughts directly to his heart, and Gastaldi, who was about to use him, and even the Holy King, who had earlier targeted Ray's life, was struck by his honest thoughts.

All the soldiers of the Holy King's Army kneel, drooling their heads (like this) and whining, "O God of Light (Lucidus)," praying in tears.

The people of the meadows had also prayed to the God of the earth (Mons), their own patron saint. Tears also appeared in their eyes, recognising once again that their king was the servant of a great God.

Mercenaries in the Mercenary Corps of Markat (Red Arms) also prayed to their own faithful gods. Some of the young mercenaries were secretly weeping.

In the meantime, Luna didn't know what had happened.

She had heard Ray's voice too, but it never meant that she would weep with emotion, like the others, either because she was under God's protection, just like him. Still, I felt the crisis had left.

(Saint) You did the miracle. And it's amazing. So much so that I wanted to go back to Rasmore Village too......)

Ray's speech continued in the meantime.

"... the God of Light (Lucidus) gives light, regardless of the good or the bad. Shall we not give light to all as well!

That said, raise the love spear, white horn (Albumcorne) high and activate the magic of the light source (Light).

The light was golden, containing kindness like the light of a spring day.

At this time, Ray was in a kind of trans state. But it is closer to self-implication by its own words than interference by the gods.

Following Ray, Fortunato, who held back beside him, also raises his sword and activates the magic of the light.

The Holy Knights and the priests, in the same way, shed light one after the other. Hundreds of magic of light lit up the hills.

The soldiers were further moved by the sight, abandoning the spear in their hands and laying flat.
