Sword of the Philosopher

In the end I never encountered a demon, and I was able to reach the Castle of the Count. Speaking of which, you didn't even count with demons from town to Earl's Castle in the game.

And stand in front of the gate, looking up at the castle. The white-toned castle, nestled in the moonlight, has an intermediate atmosphere. It's not the heavy type like a fort, but the look of a few towers poking at it, and it feels like it looks design.

The gates are open.

Balzard says. When I pressed him with my hand, as he said, it opened lightly. Unexpectedly... are you inviting me?

Maybe Arzac was sending even an intermediate into town, observing Lilitscha's trends - I opened my mouth, thinking.

"If you're luring him in, you need to be vigilant about the trap."

"Right. Be careful."

Eina agrees and pulls out her sword. Balzard also swords in the same way...... although it is a long sword, it is characterised by the thickness of the blade compared to ordinary objects.

And Lirisha did not pull out her sword, but instead began chanting in her mouth,

"Fire."

A whispered arrow tip, a light arises. When the white light was over, a boneless iron spear appeared there.

A weapon created by magic… There is also a method of creating and using weapons in magic. Only in the game existed advanced class magic such as "The Sword of the Wind God" and "The Sword of the Ice King".

Now that it has become a reality, it is not so difficult to produce simple weapons without characteristics.

I glanced at the spear as I pulled out my sword. As it looks, it looks like a normal weapon that's not even rigged. They use spears mainly, not hips swords.

We go through the gate. Immediately after, a change occurs. Suddenly there are signs from around...... it's still a demon.

I don't know if it's the same flow as when Lirisha visited alone... but anyway, the fighting is on.

A number of magic formations arise on the cobblestone path that leads to the entrance of the castle. It's probably the type of magic that activates at the same time that the intruder has stepped in.

"I knew the Count wasn't normal when demons appeared."

Balzard squeaks. Eina and Lirisha get into a combat posture as they nod to agree.

The light of the magic formation disappears and the demons reveal themselves. A skeleton with a spear in a guard-like outfit… is a superior species called 'High Skeleton' unlike mere skeletons.

Even when it comes to the top, it's easy enough for the Sofias to beat it. Well, what about Eina and Lirisha and the others?

It was Lirisha who made the move earlier. As he storms in a low position, he takes control of Skeleton's head as he moves to attack this way, causing the spear to snap.

This is a 'Rogue Slash' of lower generic moves. The spear has a towing effect due to its wide range of attacks, but the highskeleton that was in the range of attacks blew up without exception.

Lower moves but powerful enough. That's not even a blow, but the damage there looks like it was done.

"This one goes on too."

Balzard was the next one to make the move. Play the skeleton-in-one spear lightly that was about to strike, and go out to fight back.

The move is a very familiar one… probably an 'blast counter' for intermediate generic moves. It is a move common to long sword moves and big sword moves, it fights back due to sword speed increased by magic enhancement while preventing the opponent from attacking - it is a very powerful move if you hit it, as it consumes a lot of magic, it cannot be random and it is difficult to use because the attack that can be fought back is quite limited.

Also, maybe the thick long sword allows you to use the Great Sword moves - his attack is hit. Did you also do it critically, High Skeleton was smashed to pieces with one blow.

- He had the ability to specialize in offense in games. But there are other reasons to be called 'the Three Powers'. That has to do with his possession skills.

In games, characters may possess a unique skill. For example, if Kati becomes a fellow Fili, she has the skill of "Herbal Knowledge," which increases the effectiveness of her healing items by five percent. That skill should also have been strengthened if the level had risen, eventually to ten percent. If the level increases again, gain a skill that increases the magic power of the status "Magic Increase" somewhat by the skill.

In the case of Kaln, "Securing the escape route" slightly increases the chance of escape, and there are also considerable differences, such as gaining skills that increase the "Dodge Rate" and his own dodge. Few humans had such incredible properties as to just make them have personality that they were not often noticeable.

Among them, Balzard's skills are the exception. His skill is named 'Rigid Body' and possesses the characteristic of not knocking back below a certain amount of damage.

Knockbacks - If attacked, you can peek, but if the damage value is extremely low, you can move without peeking. In the case of Balzard, however, it possesses the ability to damage up to less than one-third of the total HP at the first point. This will eventually prevent you from glancing up to one-half of the damage. We can beat each other up without knocking back unless there's more to it.

There is also the possibility to continue to be attacked and pushed down, but it can be easily dealt with with with with its originally high status and HP, plus equipment. Besides, he also remembers the skill of "Anger", which increases the more he gets attacked.

This is reinforced by the number of attacks, not the value of the damage, so even no damage increases the attack power. How many enemies were defeated in the game by these two skills...... no doubt, it was a privileged character.

I guess he is a very liked character because the game reflects the producer's preferences not least...... there should have been a development staff who would publicly declare that they actually liked Balzard. To put it badly, it's a twisted character.

But now that it has become the real world...... High Skeleton moves to counterattack. If you take the spear properly, it's going to be a lot of damage.

Balzard moves. It's just that the operation is obviously an attempt to attack. Shortly after I thought the demonic sword would hit me...... a high skeleton sword was slapped into my left shoulder.

- It's not working.

After making a statement, Balzad rolled out his sideburn as if nothing had happened, blowing up the demon. Probably wiped out the damage from the Magic Barrier… even if it's real! I was surprised by this.

While making those observations, I use Holy Shot with an output that won't leak magic to accurately defeat the enemies Lilitha blew up. Plus Eina engages High Skeleton with Balzard. This one doesn't push as hard as he does, but determines the sword while avoiding attack. Besides, the sword is equipped with the lower demon guidance technique 'Holy Light Sword' - where the demon guidance technique is used may be similar to Sophia's.

Approximately five minutes in time. All demons created by the Magic Formation were defeated.

"... Hmm, that's an easy win"

Balzard says. A harsh look, even as Eina nodded in tune. Lirisha is also showing a rugged face and seeping a sense of vigilance.

You would have thought the Demons were more relevant than the demons were here. That is correct.

"Let's move on"

I'll tell you. All proceed to the entrance to the castle without saying anything.

When we reached the main entrance, the door opened on its own. I'm still inviting you... at this rate, I also feel like I can get to Arzak in no time.

The lights are somewhat on inside, but the atmosphere is dim and creepy somewhere. I know you're not under barometric pressure, but Risha and the others circle their gaze to see what's going on indoors.

There is no such thing as a demon so far. Further straight ahead, there is a big door... which is open again. Looks like he's still willing to welcome you in.

Step inside the mansion. Temperatures should never be low, but I feel a lot colder because of the magic of temper. That leads to maintaining tension, one by one, towards the main door.

At that time, a magic formation on the surrounding floor. Demons - At that moment of enlightenment, nature and we became back-to-back and intercepted.

Shortly afterwards it appeared to High Skeleton, the Black Lesser Demon. The numbers are high, but we can deal with them adequately - and with that in mind, we launched an attack on the demons coming at us.
