Sword of the Philosopher

"What's wrong?

Sylph asks because I whined a little. She apparently doesn't realize the existence of a demon.

So this one responds, "Nothing" and turns his gaze to Sofia.

The demon appearance... I could only see it for a moment, but that...

"Sophia, why don't we just move a little bit freely?

Because it was an abrupt suggestion, she tipped her little neck.

"Huh? Is it free movement?

"Oh. Maybe Silf is distant because I'm with him. If you're gonna make a deal, you might as well be alone."

Sylph said, "That's not true," but he didn't argue with my mention, and I show him the watch.

"I want to look around a little too... oh, I'm not going to bother you"

"Yes, that's fine."

Silf agrees with these words. Sophia kept her neck tilted, but I made the arrangement half strong, splitting it between my hands.

"Well, and"

First check for spirits around you. So, when you find out you're not here, you hide in the shadow of the rock and use the magic to erase the signs to start acting.

"Around the summit......?

The altitude of the place where there are signs is not so high, so it will be fine...... I use the magic of the wind and start moving. Climb to the summit at once in a bouncing motion.

- There are many continent-specific demons on this continent besides the demons unleashed by the Demon King. That goes hand in hand with wildlife, etc., but we have to be quite vigilant because there are so many aggressive beings.

"Because of the quality of the signs, you can't leave them alone much."

Reach the summit at once. I looked around and I was... there. The other side of Silf's residence. There, there was a dragon.

Dragon species may also have emerged as enemies in the game, but it exists that the Continental Unique Species and the army of the Demon King created them. So, this time it's a continent-specific species. Not big in dragons, but still twice as tall as humans. The name was definitely Air Dragon.

The figure of a dragon in front of you is a Western dragon where I say in my previous life, the type with limbs like humans, not torso lengths. Long neck on body covered in green scales. Bigger than humans, but smaller in dragons.

In the case of large dragons, they often suck and feed on the magic in the atmosphere, but in the case of small ones, they should have been feeding on animals or something... I think they probably wandered off in search of food, but I was just curious.

"What's up?

I chant and activate magic - inquire. Because the more intelligent the dragon species are, I think it is as good as the beast in the case of the dragon in front of them... I know the magic of being able to communicate with these kinds of opponents. That's 'marionette'.

In the game, it was set to manipulate enemies, but the essence is the superior compatibility of confusion in a state anomaly, which remains manipulative unless you release the magic or your buddies beat that demon. However, it only works for continent-specific species, and magic users will no longer be able to do other magic or attacks, which was either magic that falls into the category of hobbies... Now that it's a reality, we can use this to communicate with demons.

"... Hmm, he said an unfamiliar demon came and kicked him out of his residence"

Apparently, there's been an impact of the Demon King invasion around here as well.

I hear the dragon is looking for a new place to live... but I've gotten involved so far, do you want to hang out a little?

I'll get rid of the demons.

Saying so, the dragon roared with a grunt. It's a question of whether it's true.

"Oh. Instead, don't bother the silfs around here."

Naturally, the dragon leaks his nose all the time. All right.

"Then I'll go quickly... where?

What has poured into my inquiring head is a cave that exists in the mountain skin opposite Silf's residence in the neighboring mountain.

I turn to you immediately. At the same time, the magic was lifted, but the dragon was obedient to me, and he didn't seem to have to worry about a rampage.

Use magic to travel all at once. The dragon follows it too. We only have time while Sophia is searching for the Spirit, so we can't go to much trouble. Let's deal with this quickly.

As a result, you arrive at your destination in minutes of the thing. The cave is quite large because of the size of the dragon inhabited.

So, there are signs from the back... this is indisputable and annoying.

When I tried to turn my legs, I think. I've come so far with a stream, but such demons that dragons are driven away... what if they're like demons?

In that case, would there be any problem with me acting up? Assuming you're here on reconnaissance or something...... no, is there anything just like being in constant contact with the devil? There was no such portrayal in the game... just in case, let's be careful.

Into the cave. Dragons follow suit. Probably want to know what's going on in my house.

I am aware of the presence of dragons and I move on. I try to create lights and illuminate the cave, but there's no sign of any other creature at all because of temper.

Keep going, the road was second-hand divided. The direction I feel distracted is on the right... and wait.

"Coming close..."

Pull out the sword. It's a perfectly fine status to be ambushed, but it's also true that when you wait in a dark cave, you get alarmed.

Eventually the lights lit up...... a musculoskeletal demon. She has two horns and her body is red. His face is close to that of a human, but his eyes are crimson and terribly creepy.

Red and horned... the devil also has a variety, but this is a Crimson Demon that appears in the middle of a scenario. It's hard to be aggressive and troublesome for the time of appearance. It's just a direct attack by fist, so if you're equipped, it's not that hard to deal with.

It shouldn't be the kind of scenario stage where these demons start appearing...... no, wait. I remember. These are the demons who served to raid the spirits.

Some demons also have a role, besides those who invade the land of man, and others who try to interfere with the Spirit. In the game, if you go to the castle of that demon tribe, you can catch a glimpse of what you've been doing with materials and more.

According to that, he sent ten Crimson Demons to each Spirit of the Groundwater Fire Wind to raid the Spirit, but the whole thing didn't come back. To think from here, I sent a demon, but the operation failed. Moreover, he has not constantly communicated with the demons he dispatched, and has made the decision that it was a failure because he did not return.

Which means it's no problem for me to act here.

"I guess it's okay to ignore it because the spirits deal with it... but if you leave it here and the dragons and spirits are sacrificed, you're not sleeping well"

When I whined about that, the devil attacked me. He waves his fist up without a voice. He's approaching me.

I wave my sword badly and unconstitutionally - the aim is the right fist unleashed by the devil. When the sword passes, it disappears first from the devil's elbow.

But the devil is not frightened at all. I immediately tried to move my left arm... and there I flashed my head vertically.

As a result, the devil is brilliantly double-crossed. I succeeded in lightly defeating it... but there are still signs of it. Nevertheless, not all nine bodies seem to be here.

A little while later, the Crimson Demon comes into the light. Shortly afterwards, the devil will wave his fists and storm me, just like the earlier individual.

This one sees through it and avoids it reflexively. The attack does not work in any way, but my body reacts aggressively with a stained sense of my training years.

Immediate counterattack. Flashing laterally toward the torso before pulling his fist back.

As a result, the devil breaks off brilliantly... it seemed like there were two of them in the cave. Exploring the signs and confirming the discontinuity... I spoke magically to the dragon.

"Is this it?

Then the dragon roars with joy.

Purpose accomplished... but not exactly two demons defeating the Spirit. I start walking outside.

"Well... I'll check the perimeter."

Tell the dragon to get out of the cave. A little bit later, there were signs again.
