Trinitas Mundus

Night of September 3rd.

Ray succeeded in taking control of Luke's Holy King's Army.

For this reason, it was necessary to return to Lark Hill, where the front-line base of the Caerm Imperial Army is located. Because the Humans and Horses (Centaurs) and other people of the meadows, they have left 70,000, and we cannot leave them alone, and we have not finished responding to the commander of the Imperial Army, Prince Leopold.

I told the Holy King Augustino and others about it, but they beg me to accompany the Holy Capital Paxlumen. Because if Archbishop Bernardino Rolfo, the substantial ruler of the Holy King, resisted, it could lead to a civil war.

We needed to show our legitimacy in order to avoid a civil war, and we needed the authority to "manifest the God of Light (Lucidus)”.

The claims of the Holy Kings are legitimate, but we cannot do two things at the same time.

I stayed up late that day inconclusive, so I dissolved it once by holding a meeting tomorrow morning.

Ray joins Hamish and the rest of the Mercenary Corps of Markat (Red Arms) and reports on the outcome of his discussions with the Holy Kings.

In the end, this discussion did not draw any conclusions, and it was only decided that we needed to return to Lark Hill once.

Ray lay down feeling tired on a tumultuous day.

I have Ashley and Stella beside me, but without talking, I fall asleep immediately.

Shortly after he fell asleep, eleven pillars of gods appeared in his dreams.

Next to him was Luna's appearance. I understand that it's connected to her dreams, too, for no reason.

"O son of the God of Light (Lucidus). And son of the Dark God (Noctis). Well done."

So cut out the eagle's winged god, the heavenly god (the frog).

"I've done very little," Luna says bitterly, but Ray denies it.

"Thanks to you, I've helped a lot. If it weren't for you, we might not have made it."

"But that's because Mr. Zach prepared me. I didn't do anything."

When Ray tries to say more, Luna stops saying, "You better listen to the gods first". Ray realizes he was ignoring the gods and apologizes "sorry".

"I don't mind. If you're ready to listen to us, I want you to listen."

The two nodded loudly.

"In this case, the measures prepared by the godless (Vanitas) over two thousand years were attributed to blisters. Vanitas is also on the adventure of descending into this world. At that price, it would be about a thousand years before interference could be carried out in the same way as before. The work of those men has enabled us to reclaim three thousand years."

The two give subtle expressions to the words.

Because I found out that Vanitas had descended, although I would be relieved by a long time that seemed like three thousand years.

"Is Vanitas already showing up on the ground? I thought the plan was to rely on Luna for money?

"Ruri. Vanitas is already down on the ground. He acquired the body of a species called the Black Demons as a connection until he acquired the body of the Son of Noctis. Now I'm lurking in a place called Desperationis."

The two of them were puzzled by the fact.

"If Vanitas is on the ground, isn't the crisis leaving?"

to Luna's words. Kaelm replied, "Riri,"

"It is fully conceivable that his people will leap. On the other hand, his people made great mistakes"

"Is it a mistake?" When Ray hears it, "he nods instantly.

The flesh has made it possible to destroy his people.

"Can you destroy God?" I'm surprised.

"Ruri. Technically, it cannot be completely destroyed, but it will take at least 5,000 years, or tens of thousands of years, to revive the soul."

"Does that mean that if you defeat Vanitas now, there will be peace until your soul is resurrected"

"Nari," he nodded loudly.

"Do you want us to confront Vanitas?

Frogs deny the word "no," and continue the conversation with a rare and gentle look for frogs that often do not break the grim look.

"Then he fulfilled his duties fully. The equilibrium of the world has not yet returned, but then it can lead the countries of the east and the west to prevent the collapse of the world for the time being. We're not going to ask for anything more."

Luna was relieved by the words, but felt something to catch on to.

(Conversely, that Vanitas, who got the body of the Demon Nation after we were gone, can also get his hands on the world directly. If so, isn't Sochius the first one to be targeted?

I hit the frog with that question.

"Sure, Vanitas' plan may have ended in failure, but doesn't having flesh mean he can now act directly? For example, the first person to be targeted is the nearest Sochius. I think it's far from peace."

"It's hard to answer that question. It is true that his obtaining flesh has allowed him to move freely in this world. However, it is too fragile a flesh (vessel) to accept God. His people naturally know that if we do not move carefully, we can destroy every flesh. More importantly, we know where we are. I can't imagine going on an adventure that confronts us while still having the weakness of a fragile flesh."

"Does that mean Vanitas will behave more cautiously than ever because he is in danger of being destroyed by every flesh"

Answer Luna's question "Run Ri".

"But wouldn't Vanitas poke you in the back," Ray asks.

"I can't deny that possibility"

So Ray thought.

(Is it a good thing to live frightened by Vanitas? If something bad happens, I suspect Vanitas is in the dark. Can you tell me that doesn't make me suspicious... but the wilderness of despair was a dangerous place. Even with Mr. Uno and his men, Lauri and Derve are both sacrificed. Wouldn't it just be payback if we went to fight...)

A bitter memory in the wilderness of despair, a little ghost warrior on his side with the magic of a puppet (kutsu), recalls the loss of his life.

Ray spoke frankly about it.

"Does this mean we have to live frightened by Vanitas beyond this? Every time something happens, I suspect it's a Vanitas trap...... so even if I try to fight it, it just makes me pay back. What should I do?"

In response to that question, Frogm contemplates it without an immediate answer.

And I started talking in a slow tone about whether my thoughts had come together.

"The concern of Lucidus' son is the best. Vanitas pokes a slight gap in his heart. At first, even a small doubt would be a story that his people could increase it and turn it into a great distrust. And another concern, the wilderness of despair (Desperationis), but that land is the imprint of his people. In the heart, our strength is not extended."

"Does not the power of the gods mean that magic cannot be used"

"Ruri. That is not the same condition for the enemy. But we do not know much about his people. You'd better think you could use some kind of force."

That's all I heard, Ray turned to Luna.

"What do you want to do about Mr. Tsukiya? They don't have a lot of prospects of winning."

"I wonder if we're the only ones who can fight. What do you think?" Ask the frog.

"At the heart of Desperationis, we can only go with our blessings. If you go, Vanitas could take over your spirit and even make you a family member"

"Does it mean that it is not just me and Ray who are sheltered, but also the Ashleys who entered the Temple of Claretor"

"Ranri"

"Still not a good bet for the minute. Desperate wilderness is full of dangerous demons. Just going is life-threatening. Even if we are lucky enough to get to the center, the enemy is God. I think we have little chance of winning."

Ray was worried about whether he should be forced to confront him. That's because you don't want to put your people in danger. Especially I didn't want to imagine Ashley, the first lover I could ever have, getting hurt.

"I think I should fight. It may not be convincing for me to say that I've been helped so far, but if I miss this opportunity, Vanitas feels like he's hiding somewhere else. If that happens, I'll have to live in fear of Vanitas' shadow, like I was saying earlier. And our enemies are not invincible."

"Isn't it invincible?

"Yeah, I'm fighting once. in my heart when you helped me. I almost lost then, but thanks to you I could have repelled it. So if we put our hands together, I don't think we're going to win."

Luna was about to be deprived of her body when Sokius' "Witch of the Moon” Elise Nortia performed a forceful ritual of divinity. Fortunately, Stella's driving and the dedication of the Rays prevented her from being taken over, but she was attacked by Vanitas, who lurked in her mind at the end.

At that time, with the help of the prayers of Ray and Ashley, he is repelling Vanitas.

"Right. The wilderness of despair shouldn't have to go as small as it used to be. It'll be a lot easier just to get Mr. Hamish and the others to help you along the way."

Ray confirms to Caerm about the desperate wilderness.

"I heard that the center should only be sheltered, but to what extent can the fellows go"

"I have no problem with it if it is a place I have been before. It is also possible to give my instructions as we approach."

"You mean you can tell me it's dangerous from here on out"

"Ranri"

"How many wins do you think we have?"

In response to Ray's question, Caerm replied, "Not so many," and when he tried to go on with his words, the Dark God (Noctis) blocked it from speaking to him.

"You have something to tell me before I conclude,"

"What is it?," Luna asked,

"If you lose to Vanitas, your souls will vanish. It means you'll never be able to go back to the world you came from."

The two of you are surprised by the words.

"In that way, we can go back to Japan!

"Exactly. Originally, you guys were going to put it back in its original world. Even if our request fails. We didn't have to fight Vanitas like this. We were supposed to tell you about it where both the West and East countries were stable. I was going to have you make a choice between going home on the spot or going home after a full life span."

"I can go home... but now why..." Luna mutters.

"I just wanted to tell you that you guys don't have to do it. The frog pinched his mouth because it seemed like he wasn't going to dare to mention it."

When Ray looked at the frog, he was staring at Noctis with a hard look.

"I didn't mean to hide it. I decided to tell you this at the right time. As Noctis said, it was to be confirmed that the kingdom under their rule had settled down."

There's an excuse for that. Noctis coldly says, "Sure, it's not a mistake, but I think it lacks integrity," he says.

Ray was beginning to think that Noctis could believe it.

(The gods have character, too. Frogs have a verse that thinks individuals can be unhappy if it's for the world. I guess this time it was the conclusion that defeating Vanitas was best for the world. When I think about it, I feel like I've been led to think about it... and in that regard, Noctis is thinking about us too...)

Did you hear his heart, Caerm said, "It is our duty to try to survive the world. I'm not ashamed of anything," he reopened.

Ray's grin leaks into those humane words.

"Now I'm determined," he says, looking at Luna.

"I hate it when my soul disappears, but I don't like it any more when the children I'm going to have, and the descendants that go on, become unhappy. I don't know if my children will be born, but if my people's descendants will be unhappy, I will fight."

"You're realistic because you have Mr. Ashley," Luna laughs.

"I feel the same way. If the Lockhart family people who risked their lives for me, the Periclitle and Sokius people who accepted me, are going to be unhappy, I think they should fight even if they risk their souls"

At the end he declared forcefully with a serious look.

"I appreciate it, but don't rush to conclusions. We often discuss it with your family, and with those who need it. Tomorrow night, I'll show up in my dreams again. Let me know if you have any conclusions at that time. Of course, you don't have to be out."

to Noctis' words. They both bowed their heads at the same time.
