Sword of the Philosopher

The moment my voice sounds, everyone, including me, turns their gaze. Behind where the boss existed, there stood a man at some point.

Silver - rather than gray hair, black and disastrous armor. The shoulder area is an evil hobby that embodies a wolf opening his mouth and screaming. Eyes are sharp inside. The black eyes were somewhere cloudy and gave off an atmosphere of praise for us.

"You guys are strong."

Still a whining opponent. Without a doubt, it is the Demons who are in front of us. And

"Huh...!

Sophia groaned briefly. I know why. Yeah, this guy...

"Nice to meet you, I guess. I'm Sheldat, one of the Demon King's army executives. Later, get to know each other."

An honorable courtesy - this is an executive who attacked the kingdom of Barks, the land of Sofia.

Bad...... Sophia's presence here may help us understand that the Kings are dead. No, you're wearing artifacts, so you're okay? Or...

"Demon clan."

Alto squeals out in front of us. Plus Ignos also squeezes his cane and shows him the setup to intercept.

"Whoa, that's belligerent"

Speaking with laughter - this is a demon tribe that waits as a boss when Eina steps into the castle. Because they are enemies that emerge in the second half of the scenario, they are naturally highly capable, and they are not the kind of opponents that Sofia and others can fathom today.

Plus this guy has some nasty special abilities... I could kill him instantly if I wanted to, but he should realize what I'm capable of. There was a case in the game where the high-ranking Demons were on the verge of being played, giving information to other Demons in just a moment. Sheldat, who is a high-ranking demon and has power, would be able to do that, too, and there is a danger that the information will cross somewhere.

This guy wouldn't even act alone in the first place. There is a good chance that the demon or demon tribe under his command is lurking somewhere... it is also possible that a report will be sent to the Demon King via it.

Because of the risk, I do not want to give the best of my ability as it stands. But if you're gonna kill us, you're gonna have to do it.

At that time Alto and Stella come forward slightly. Then Sheldat grinned,

"Then I guess I'll just play with you a little bit"

The moment, Sheldat's appearance - disappeared.

Short-range transfer......! This guy had the ability to suddenly disappear and move somewhere else even on the game. It doesn't seem to be that wide of a range to transfer, but at least it seems possible to move to where we are in an instant.

With Sophia and the others upset, I concentrate my consciousness trying to capture them. If Sophia had noticed, I might have targeted her, but I thought - arrow tips, I felt signs and waved my sword.

Gin - and the metal noise echoes around. The place was behind Stella - the sound I played of Sheldat's sword trident that appeared there and tried to attack her.

"Hey, brother, let's do this."

Praise. It then transposes once in a while and appears in the position where it was until just now.

"Hmm, that's a little cumbersome. Besides, the ladies there have troublesome people... they're tired, and I think I'll let them disperse here."

Sheldat says as he looks at Sophia and Caln... a troublesome guy would mean a spirit. I've noticed Raefin and the others, but there's no sign of Sophia.

"... Was that demon you created earlier?

Here I come forward and ask. Then the opponent nods,

"That's what I mean. I only made shapes... it was my sister's dagger that prompted me to grow rapidly."

Sheldat tells Stella as she points her finger at her.

"Because I wasn't interested in her fight. I was going to disperse... but you guys came from behind. That's why we just played a little bit."

"... Do you mean the speed at which the root plays?"

"That sort of thing"

Answer and at the same time make small extensions. The word that you are exhausted seems true.

I'm pretty sure this guy intervened because we're here... then he can snort the speed of root regeneration too.

Plus, Sheldat doesn't have the will to fight today, and he doesn't seem to have the same atmosphere about Sofia or my abilities. Most importantly, we need to check with the demon in the future around here...

"Well, what do we do?

Sheldat asks. Alto and Stella still indicated their willingness to fight... but eventually, they lowered their swords.

"Sooner or later, I'll rust your sword."

I'm looking forward to it.

Leave a mocking voice somewhere - its appearance disappeared.

Breathe at the same time. In some cases, I needed to fight as hard as I could... but I managed to avoid it. I don't want to take the risk that my abilities will be exposed at this stage.

"... but you've been a long demon clan"

He opened his mouth as Alto sheathed his sword.

"He said he defeated the demon, but he didn't seem interested in us."

"... maybe he alerted us"

It was Raifin who spoke out here. When she shows up, she mentions us.

"From the mouth, you must have noticed about our existence. Even if we can defeat the contractor, our counterattack is coming... that's why we're out of here."

- Sheldat didn't put it on his face, but he may have felt the power of the spirits to contract and wary. Sophia has a covenant with the Spirit recommended by the King of Gnome to the Queen of Silf. In addition to the fatigue, I warned the Raifins... maybe that's what I'm talking about.

I just don't know if you've detected that Raefin is the Queen of Silf... but we need to send a demon to observe him carefully in this regard. If you had been exposed, you'd have to move after consulting with Raifin.

"I see. I have to thank you for that."

says Alto. I shook my head and replied, "I don't need it," and then I sent Sophia my gaze.

"Are you all right? Sofia."

"Yes."

The expression remains stiff. It would be more than natural to be a demon tribe that has been boarding the castle.

It's not a good idea to talk about the area on this occasion, so later... Alto spoke out even more when I was thinking about it.

"Perhaps in the future, more places will be affected by these demons across the continent"

- He's right, the game also increases the proportion of problems generated by the work of these demons whose requests to dance to the guild since the middle of the day.

Moreover, even this forest could be visited to fight demons that have become more powerful at the request of the Alliance... There are many patterns around the use of background paintings and such, but it hurts to watch it sweetly because the dungeon structure has changed.

"Whatever it is, it looks like the demons that were on this scene could be defeated... go home"

Plus Alto says. Seems unwilling to look for the ruins in this situation.

"I want to talk to you guys."

And yet I'm going to say that. I kind of set my sights on Sophia and Callan. The two nodded small in the atmosphere that either was fine.

"... ok. It's also on the edge of something that we met this way. Let's go out with a lot of things."

"Hey, nice to meet you."

Alto says, walking out of the woods. And then we're going back to town.

Go back to town and go to the tavern to eat. I will explain the journey to the table divided between men and women. I can't talk about Sophia exactly, so I talked about it in the woods, and as I said, it felt like there was a reason for the individual. Alto, on the other hand,

"I'm lucky the Demon King came and made it easier to verify the ruins, so I'm just going around a lot."

"I bet your sister feels the same way"

"Well... it seems the ruins of that forest weren't out there... but I was wondering if I could keep it that long this time."

Says Alto as he drinks beer. By the way, I'm just milk.

"Mr. Alto, can I have one?

"Hmm? Go ahead."

"How do you know Mr. Ignos?

"I guess it feels like I've done a little work on him and I'll be stuck with him in the future"

You mean you made a request to keep him company.

"Ignos is a man who wants to get rid of demons and stuff just like Mr. Luon and the others. My purpose is to explore the ruins, but that's why I'm following you."

I see...... by the way, his ability, but having reached the back of the woods, you can assume that he is showing as much growth as Sophia.

If the event continues smoothly, any of them will have the ability to fight the Five Demons… The strength of the Five Demons will change depending on how well the scenario progresses. All the demons in their castle were created by the five great demons… their purpose is to wedge into the earth. Since the beginning is focused on its work, it is set to be weaker than normal.

But the lowest line exists. On a level, it has to be hard enough to start remembering intermediate moves or something... like another stomp for Sofia or Alto to get to that level?

"I see... ok. Different purpose, but good luck."

"Oh. I've thought a lot about this one though, and I don't know what to do in the future..."

He looks at his sister Stella as he groans. She's bickering with Sophia and Caln at another table.

"What's your sister gonna do?

When asked, he shrugged his shoulder.

"There's no way I'm going to stop saying something... I just told you, for the time being, I've decided to act with us"

- Alto's sister means that she is also the descendant of a wise man. Considering I was single in that forest and decorated with demons... there was no such thing as talking about my sister being stronger than my brother at the start of the scenario. So you won't be one of them in the game, but you can assume that they possess the same high growth ability as Alto.

We both act...... what should we think about this. Hmm, I guess I should check with the user demon to see how they are... while I was thinking in my chest, I talked to Alto and stayed up late.

There were more things to observe because of the incident of encountering the Demons... but the fact that I was still able to save Stella lightened my mind.

Is that why - I'm going to be stunned by what happened the next day?
