Sword of the Philosopher

Back in town, I'll get ready without sleeping. Eventually the sun came out and my people woke up... here I spoke to Sofia.

I remembered there was something I needed to do on my way home.

"Good morning, Sophia"

"Good morning. What's wrong, sir?

"Can you lend me your sword?"

"Sword, is it? I don't mind... what?

"I found a weapon-enhanced demon stone in town and bought it. Trying to use that."

"Enhance...... ok"

Sophia gives me the sword. A fine silver sword... but maybe just a little less powerful as it is. Therefore, I tried to reinforce it.

If it's true, handing over a powerful sword is also a hand... there are two problems with this. One is that when you give them a weapon that strikes or easily defeats all the demons, they are obviously noticeable.

Sophia is currently using artifacts to delude herself into being a princess, but just as prominent, the Demons will investigate as well. Based on the fact that the human side is still at a disadvantage in the present situation, it is better to be able to look into Sofia as little as possible.

And another problem...... or this one is bigger as a factor. During my training years, I had worked with someone at times by registering for the guild, and that's when I verified a lot. It is based on the conclusions reached thereby. Again, this should be called the difference between the game and reality.

I wonder if defeating a strong demon using, for example, a powerful weapon will raise the level at once, and I have tried it with someone who is not as good as my fellow characters, but who was quite capable of growing. Since the person had not mastered the long sword technique with the Great Sword, he verified whether it would make him hold the long sword and acquire skills faster, etc.

In addition to the strong demons for him, the experiment turned out by handing him powerful swords and protective equipment that could withstand an attack that could defeat them with almost a single blow... the level didn't go up enough to say at all, and the moves didn't remember Locke. Even when attacked, the state of mind also prevented him from working out a strategy, and he was applauded for his lack of success… Conversely, demons and weapons gear that fit his skill were better equipped to master moves and improve his abilities.

As a result of various other verifications...... the conclusion I have drawn is that defeating a strong enemy with ease just doesn't give you a lot of experience, or even something you don't get. Plus I can't master moves...... this means that the factor of gaining experience is not 'knocking down enemies', but 'how hard I struggled and continued to fight and train with swords and magic'.

That Sophia needs the hard work and effort she deserves to be strong in the future... in case she qualifies for the Demon King, this battle will be a very important experience. This is probably the same character who starts alto and becomes one of us. That's why I thought we should stop giving them powerful weapons combined with a noticeable meaning.

Whatever the case may be... by the way, Sophia is still wearing a bracelet that activates the junction and so on when it becomes dangerous. I guess I should give it to the rest of my people, more than just a battle with the Five Demons.

Return to the room as you draw conclusions and strengthen your sword. I estimate and enhance Ledras' abilities from the demonic abilities I have encountered so far, as long as they are as powerful as they can be against Ledras.

Items on the game that increase the ability of weapons and protective equipment appear as Demon Stones. Once you've completed the game, the items will be sold to tool stores, etc., so you can make the Longsword more powerful than just the longest weapon. Well, now that it's the real world, there must be limits to the magic that you pour, so I don't think you can do that.

That's why I reinforce the sword Sophia uses. If you feel underpowered, you can use the magic of rising attack power to deal with it.

I'll take care of it and return it to Sofia. Then I was thanked if I felt magic at the time I gripped the pattern or "thank you".

Plus when we all have breakfast, we give everyone an emergency evasion bracelet for the fight against the Five Demons. He explained that the best time to hand it over was when he explained it to Sophia and his defense increased.

And after the meal - go outside, Alto declares.

"Let's go."

Everyone nodded quietly... we proceeded to the castle of Ledras.

Approximately two days from the town you left to your castle… demons also appear on the road, all of which are at the level of something to be done in Alto and Sofia at this stage. Nevertheless, I'd like you to remember if you can do more than intermediate moves by the time you head to your castle.

"Huh!"

Alto to cut off the demons. Its power is sufficient, and it can be said that there are collaborations and no enemies against the surrounding demons.

The level should be going well too, but I haven't mastered intermediate moves or anything yet... I just can't help but rush. Besides, intermediate skills and magic mastery are not mandatory. If I don't master it, I'll switch to the appropriate method of warfare.

In that case, I will need your support… I finally stepped into the woods near my castle when I broke it in my heart.

"You're getting a little nervous."

Alto says. It sharpens the gaze that looks forward with it.

Finally, that's why. I've been through as many fights with the Five Demons as I can in the game, and I'm used to seeing the castle... but it becomes a reality and I get a little nervous too.

Is this tension due to anxiety about how the story is going to fall? Or is it because I feel no less pressured by the presence and curiosity of the Five Demons, albeit in a spot I found out... I went through the woods while I was thinking.

The other side of the forest was a kind of downhill, with open spaces ahead - basins. The terrain makes it feel like the forest surrounds a basin low above sea level.

In the middle of that basin was the place of purpose… the 'Lord of War', the castle of Ledras. The exterior is a deep blue castle. It is the castle of the devil, which cannot be seen like a window, and which has an even sharper and pointed ceiling.

King of War, is an alias for Ledras. It is an understandable alias that demonstrates the ability to be attack-specific among the five great demons.

The order in which you defeat the Five Demons is basically free, but the later this Redlas gets to use more of his overall attack moves, so if you want to make it easier, the opponent you want to finish by the middle or so. It's easy to be the first target because it's also easy to have events...... probably at the current level, the overall attack should be good and only have about one type. That's also less powerful, so it won't be that hard to deal with.

Most importantly, this is just a game story. Now that it's a reality, it's probably not the same way to fight. As we fight the Five Demons in the future, we need to look at the extent to which there are also differences around them.

Here I look around at my people. Sophia and Alto looked at the castle and had a nervous face...... but never looked distracted. Ignos kept quiet about whether he was trying to stay calm or not, and Caln opened his eyes and seemed surprised at the castle.

"... let's go"

Eventually, Alto says. With that word, we head slowly to the castle in front of us.

Around the castle, you can't see the demons. I was around the woods...... apparently it was definitely getting thin.

Reach in front of the main entrance. I gaze at Alto and talk with my eyes. Then Alto nodded and stepped forward and hung his hand on the door.
