Sword of the Philosopher

"Well, I wonder where you are"

Looking around from the front of the cave...... there are eight remaining Crimson Demons. Start looking for where they are.

Along with that, a dragon comes out of the cave from behind. When I magically see what you're going to do - they want to cooperate.

I didn't have a system to keep the demons company... I'll think about it for a second while I respond to the dragon that I'm okay.

If the Spirit and the Dragon work together, it will be easy to defend... to try and work with the Spirit to the Dragon, demanding that we not be able to fight demons like just now.

As a result, it seems that the dragon herself was pioneered by the demon's onslaught - a light acknowledgement. He has dealt with the spirits somewhat, so he seems to spare no cooperation.

Hmm, this is a quick story. I observed the surroundings even more - I discovered them - while I thought that the spirits would be able to defend themselves enough if we strengthened our security and so on in the future.

There you are.

A total of eight flying demons. Was the two earlier in something like the advance team? Either way, the number of ten bodies is a threat for the devil to move simultaneously, but now I wonder if he's willing to defeat the spirits.

There was no mention on the game, but this time he was probably going to point further demons at it later with a scourge connotation. Around there was no depiction... or maybe the human side started fighting back as the story progressed, so he focused on you and didn't end up turning his power.

I interrupt my thoughts here and observe the devil. I can see you're forming a squad...... it must be a Crimson Demon, but as many as the three in the rear are armed unlike the two. The weapon is only like a fist, but can you tell if it's a soldier or a captain by its armed difference?

There are no elements in the game around here. While I try to remember, I use the magic of movement to go to the demons... then the enemy perceives this presence and approaches me.

It would have been a hassle if it had been dispersed... but the conversation is quick and helpful.

Okay, so we engage... I don't feel good about using very flashy magic either. There are no signs of spirits around, but if you turn up the blast, there's no chance the spirits will notice either.

Therefore, I will attempt a melee… The opponent is eight and the captain class will definitely be above the normal Crimson Demon, but I had an idea.

The devil approaches even closer. Flying in the sky but on the game he should have gotten off the ground and fought. Now, what do the demons in front of you do?

The whole demon starts a steep descent. Then the other seven bodies move the same way. Ops like the whole thing set up ahead of time and put a stop to it later... Hmm, that well-reasoned move could burn the spirits' hands too.

But not in my case - if you move sideways and avoid the first whole assault you've stormed, you'll definitely take a blow. The devil is thus extinguished. But the seven bodies that remain are pushing in unchanged.

Meanwhile, I went into a magical chant to defeat the devil.

- On the game, proficiency exists in each of the moves and magic, with a slight increase in power in the case of moves and a slight increase in chanting speed in the case of magic. I don't get to zero when it comes to chanting, but still, as a result of my training, I am able to activate some magic immediately.

One of them is Durandal, a light attribute intermediate magic that will emit from now on. It is a range attack magic that produces a sword of light several times the length of a great sword and rips it to pieces.

If you continue to fight alone, there are naturally a lot more places to pay attention than when you organize a party. It is remarkable when it comes to mass warfare, and many measures have been taken during training.

It is this magic that can be described as one of its achievements. Blow up the opponent trying to get to the present by fanning forward - no, you can sweep it away. Powerfully plunged into advanced magic with one foot, a powerful category in range-based magic. So it was the magic I used the most.

Against the impending demon, I activate my magic and flash the sword of light -! If it's true, it must be one of the momentary resistances that touched the demon - but without feeling anything, I erased and skipped the seven bodies that had stormed flat as if cutting even paper.

"Okay."

One whine...... until earlier there was a demon looking around like a lie.

The aim was achieved. You can leave the dragon alone, and we'll go back to Silf's place like this.

Let's give Sylph some advice that he needs to be vigilant because he saw the devil... he thought of that and returned his heel.

That's when I realize.

Directly in front of the inverted body - there was an elegant silf that I had just encountered.

"... Huh?

I accidentally raised my voice. At the same time, Silf meets small.

"Hi..."

- Never, I'm not less capable of detecting signs. I mean, I should be able to tell if the spirits are around.

When in doubt, Silf read my thoughts or gave a commentary.

"I can be in tune with the wind that exists around here… I mean, I've been assimilated to the atmosphere to hide myself"

Such ability, would it have been in Sylph...... but I have to ask one more question before such a question.

"Uh, well, since when?

"Ever since you left your companion,"

So, from the beginning...? Bad, I was alarmed. An unpleasant sweat came out of my back.

No, I just intercepted the demons, so can I still be deluded...? I thought about it and tried to open my mouth.

"... who are you?

Oh, this sounds like you're sure of my abilities.

"I... that, other silves... and therefore unlike other spirits, can use the wind to measure the multiplicity of magic. I could somehow speculate that you retain a higher ability than a normal adventurer... but the moment I exercised my current magic, I sensed an uninterrupted force"

... This is not good. If they understand exactly what I'm capable of, I can't come up with an excuse no matter how hard I try.

As for Sophia, she still doesn't have a problem because she doesn't understand the depth of that power, even though she recognizes that I'm strong. But not the silf in front of me. Now, what do we do with this?

If this one is silent, Silf tells me he's in trouble.

"Honestly, I felt that the power you showed for a moment… was that you could compete with the high-ranking Demons"

... a high-ranking demon class? In my case, I think it's enough to defeat the Demon King in a few attacks without a connection by sage blood muscles, so I might still call this an underestimation.

"... uh, yeah"

Squeeze out the words. A strange silence arises between me and Silf.

And, for now, do I mislead you for any reason? But thoughts don't work well for rapid expansion.

Let's suggest we change places to think about excuses for a moment… When I tried to open my mouth to that, Silf moved.

"I am late… I am responsible for the role of Queen of Silf on that occasion… My name is Raifin"

- Hey, you spirits. What did you just say?

"If there's anything wrong with showing strength, I'll keep my mouth shut... if you tell me why"

... That's it. She must have guessed that I would lie. So, I made it clear that even if I did, I would know this one.

Also at the same time, I guess it's the Queen who can assimilate to the atmosphere or see through lies.

This is an unexpected opponent...... I guess I can push it through with no comment, but when things get weirdly suspicious here, they're spirits, and they're queens, and they're not what I found out. I just want to make sure I don't get too many horns up if possible...... apparently it's a sign that if I'm honest with you, she'll keep quiet, too, and if...

Worried about what to do, and strange silence. But I can't keep quiet all the time, so I finally opened my mouth.

"... well, to be honest, I don't know if you can trust me."

"I'll judge that."

Resolute words. Her expression was extremely serious and I could see the atmosphere of firm acceptance of any story.

... It's hard to do, but this looks like we're going to have to talk. You'll just be fortunate that the other person was a spirit. There are aspects of this that I've learned in a way.

Being different from people like spirits is a different way of looking at things, so you'll be able to recognize beings like me with some clap... the Demons will also discern people by the quality of their magic, so measures will be needed in the future around here. Even the Demon King wouldn't keep his mouth shut if he just broke my abilities.

Let's just say I think they were good this time... yes I shrugged in my heart and I started explaining to the Queen of Silves.
