Sword of the Philosopher

Responsibility for the battle

The biggest problem in challenging the Five Demons now is the presence of Radi. I'm sure we'll be fighting together first.

"... Nestor"

Yeah, I know.

Nestor responding to Radi's voice.

"You're talking about joining the fight, right?

"Oh. Just leave it alone, too."

"Does that mean we're gonna fight together?

Sylvie asks. Then Lady nodded,

"Oh, I guess it's like saying hello over here"

- If we were to fight with Lady, naturally it would mean that we would fight against the Five Demons Beluna with him. That means fighting with two sage blood muscles, just like when Ledras was there. We must consider what happens if we defeat Beluna.

When I fought Ledras before, there were two Alto and Sofia, and the result was strength in Sofia. There is as much room as you can think of for the level, the person who stabbed Todome, the distance from the Five Demons at the point of defeat, and the amount of magic you hold.

If there were magic in Radi, it would mean that the Demon King would exercise massive magic and the continent would be devastated. To prevent that, we have to adjust so that Sofia has the power to dwell.

The best way to be sure is for Lady not to join the fight against Beluna, beyond the possibility of total randomness not being zero... even if we say here "we move independently" they will go to the fight separately.

Should I have acted separately from you two, or should I have you accompanied... in the fight against Beluna, it will be a riot until you enter the castle. I'll move as far as I can to the castle, but if it's another move, there's no chance that Lady will get into the castle before us... and then there 'll be cases where he won't be able to take it back, including if he dies.

It's very difficult to make a decision around here... the best way to make sure Sofia doesn't have him.

Between all the things I think about, I think. What's going on with the other protagonists?

"Let's gather information tomorrow and move so we can join the war."

Lady suggests it while I think about it. Sophia and the others agreed... it was open for the moment.

At night, I tell the ladies in the same room, "I'm going out," and I walk all over town. Walking silently down a quiet street, a voice comes from the side.

"Can I help you?

That's Raifin I was calling in advance. I nod small, go off the street and stand talkin 'in the right place.

"As for the Five Demons..."

"About Mr. Lady, right?

"Oh. There was magic in Sofia when we defeated Ledras. We have to put our magic in her..."

"That said, I find it difficult to remove him in the circumstances"

"Well, yeah...... and I have another concern"

"Concerns?"

I'm going to start explaining to Rayfin that I asked him back - thanks, but besides Lady, he's got Phili moving.

Besides, he is in line with the flow of events that existed on the game - the place to join the battle against Beluna in the game is another town. Visit there. Fili and the others are about to join the fight.

"There are no ex-children or ex-children left behind by the Philippians."

"Oh. The battle against Beluna will be the first turmoil. In the story, the protagonists reached the castle smoothly, but other knights and warriors are held back, so he and his people enter the castle alone. I don't know how we fight, but I don't know if we can make it as smooth as Fili. If it's stopped, it'll be tight if you don't have enough power to quickly defeat the demon."

If I'm serious, I'll fix the area, but this time I'd better stop because the Demon King is in danger of knowing this power. We will do our best with our power under control, but we will also need the power of the Sofias beyond being a riot. Since we still don't know what the situation is, we'd rather have a lot of fighting power if we were to think about Sofia's safety.

It's still hard to judge...... Raifin asked me a question, having thoughts.

"Any word on the demons led by the Five Demons?

"At this stage, only the demons around the castle originally inhabited him. I mean, we can't judge yet."

"Then work with Lady and the others and do a good deed to get to the castle. After we come in, we have to do everything we can to make sure Sophia stays with us."

"... is that all there is"

Breathe. What you can do in the fight is level Sofia up more than you do now? We just have to do everything we can, beyond knowing how to choose who the magic resides in.

"… let's also try to guide magic"

Raefin says - If the power of a wise man is changed by the Spirit, you don't have to think about it.

"Can you do that?

"I don't know. I never even tried it during the Battle of Ledras."

"Ok...... let's assume all possibilities first and join this fight"

"Yes... but Dear Luon, I was wondering if we should also assume the worst"

"The worst...... is that the power resides in Lady or Fili"

"Yes."

Defeating Beluna is a crossing point, and the biggest problem is preventing the Demon King, which I am concerned about, from becoming an enhanced pattern... so you should also think about it now.

While I think I have a headache, I have one end to the factors that made this flow. Take responsibility. And I'm gonna do whatever it takes to make it right.

"Raifin...... I'll just keep my heart full. At the moment, the best thing to do is go to the castle and defeat Beluna."

"I know. But if the Fili were to visit more in the course of the story, wouldn't it come from later, even before?

"You'd better get in first, wouldn't you? However, I guess we should consider both success failures..."

The problem with this battle is that the war situation is very difficult to read because various countries set it up at the same time… Unlike in Ledras, it needs to move on an ad hoc basis.

"Raefin, I know it's tough, but please"

"Okay."

So the conversation ended - I took a deep breath and went back to the inn.

The next day, we start acting - we will go to a different place on the game for where the event occurs, but the fight will start fine.

We gathered information and headed for the garrison of the Kingdom of Ramseed, which was prepared to defeat Beluna… Beluna is based in a place where the borders of various countries meet. Nevertheless, there are also countries inside that have suffered demonic assault and damage... which is why the human side is in the form of making up for it by coalitioning insufficient troops.

The Coalition strikes simultaneously to surround Beluna's castle… The opponent also intercepts, but here she tries to break up. Ledras, for example, was using the power of the wise to defend himself the absolute bond. However, in the case of Beluna, it was not good enough to defend itself in order to engage under siege, so it switched to attack.

Spread your own magic deep within the earth as well as on the surface, through which you exercise a junction with the power of a wise man. It is a measure to seal coalition alliances, so that the absolute defensive junction gets in the way and the armies of all nations become uncooperative, inflicting more damage from demonic raids.

But there are some good aspects to this on the human side. Because it diffuses the power of the wise outside, Beluna herself cannot exercise the bond as Ledras did. Among them, the protagonists break through the enemy's onslaught and reach the castle. Relative defeat with Beluna...... is the course of the battle.

We'll reach the desired garrison around noon. Knights and hired warriors are already preparing to fight, wrapped up in a vibrant atmosphere.

"Well, where do I go through the conversation"

Lady looks around and squeals. Then a regular soldier noticed and came near us.

"Are you a crusader applicant?

"Yes, it is"

When I say yes, the soldier begins to explain.

"Thank you for your help… We ask the Ghanaize warriors and mercenaries to march in such a way as to follow our army"

"Okay."

"Okay, let's go through the process."

Soldiers urge me to finish the process...... Now I have succeeded in joining the Crusaders. When the warriors from Garnise arrived this afternoon, they said they would move out, which meant waiting until then.

Now, we need to keep abreast of the state of the war when the battle begins… we will need to keep abreast of the trends, especially with regard to the situation in the Philippines. I decided to wait until the march began while working closely with the demon.
