Sword of the Philosopher
Last Attack
"It's over."
I was nearby. The only voice I could hear. At the same time, Kobolt emitted magic all over the last resistance - at that moment, I had a hunch.
No way, this guy - right after I turned my head on him, I was starting to chant aggressively.
Boslo's spear touches the top of Cobolt's head. The blade tip went in as if it were cut even on paper - I doubled it all the way to the chest part of the cobolt at once.
"Yay -!"
Sophia's voice can be heard from the rear. Some of the knights who were around also cheered. However,
"General! Run!
Me screaming. For a moment, Kobolt's body suddenly - luminescent.
"This is-!"
Boslo understands and retreats with one body away from his hand if he has just stopped the spear movement.
"Sophia!"
As I scream, I advance against the glowing cobolt. Then Boslo looked at me over Kobolt, wondering what was going on.
"You too, if you don't run..."
Words didn't go on any further - the power and technology that could counteract Boslo. The art of creating more demons and the act of cutting lives. And the last measure left is... suicide bombing.
Exactly the demon created to kill Boslo. The next moment, a demonic body exploded in front of me.
- And when my sight opens, I hold my mouth and I nibble.
"Oh, boy, you're dusty"
After zeroing my voice, I breathed small.
But although it was good because I noticed it at the end...... this was pretty dangerous. I was fortunate to have acted with the general.
Even as a demon tribe, it would mean that the defeat of the general should have taken precedence over everything else. As a result, the General survived, but it is certain that he is the person the Demons are marking in this battle. After the battle, you should advise me to be careful.
"... Lord Luon"
I heard Boslo. I say yes, I pull the dust out and put him in sight.
"I'm glad I noticed at the end"
"I wish I was safe."
Boslo to appease. Then he leaned once and picked up the spear. His weapon caught in the explosion, but it doesn't appear to be special material or damaged.
"- Master Luon!
Sophia from behind. Turning around, she puts her hand on her chest and looks worried everywhere.
"Oh, are you hurt..."
"It's okay. It got dusty, though."
"Is that all you did for a reason?
To Boslo's question, I say, "Of course."
"Defensive Magic - Crystal Shield."
One of the magic that increases defense, targeted by the magic user himself. The effect on the game is a significant drop in Attack in exchange for a significant increase in Defense. Since the game was a more favorable balance of basic force pushing, fewer cases were used less frequently, such as prioritizing defense. Nevertheless, with the magic of the system, which is useful in times of need, I used to make the wizard speak to enemies with high aggressiveness, such as the Golem system, just in case.
The appearance of the real world forms a longitudinally rectangular junction around the user. It is true that the defense increases because it builds everything up, down, left, and right by a strong junction, but instead it makes it almost impossible to attack.
And what I used this time was a little application. Instead of building a 'crystal shield' around me, it targeted a cobolt on the verge of exploding. This kind of application is possible if the person who uses magic is in front of them.
This meant that the cobolt exploded in a confined space by means of a 'crystal shield', which also allowed Boslo to retreat.
Nevertheless, the limit was that it could be taken to magical activation, which could not be completely prevented, and eventually the junction was destroyed. Nevertheless, the impact was minimal, only to the extent that I was caught in the smoke blast.
"Ho, are you sure you're okay...?
Sophia can't stop asking. I'm kind of in tears... but I nodded slowly.
"Because... General Boslo. Now the commander seems to have destroyed it."
"Well, apparently the demons are losing control, too."
Look around. As the general put it, the demons' movements are clearly dull. There the knights attack relentlessly. Only a lot of numbers, but it would be only a matter of time before it disintegrates.
Thank you, Lord Luon.
And Boslo tells me.
"Preventing the last attack would not have been possible alone. Without Lord Luon, he would definitely have been killed in battle."
... Even for me, I didn't think I was taking all this action. Together, the biggest mountain ranges fell out. All that remains is the Canaan Awakening Event.
"... um, have you got knights from east to west?"
Boslo says. Clarify your ears and you will hear a whisper from afar. The general would be right.
Exploring with the demon, it looks like Sylvie and Kuza, who were east, are headed this way as well. East-West demons are almost done cleaning up, leaving only the north side losing their commander. If this is also the soldiers of the Kingdom of Alastin, they will be able to deal with it without any problems.
Now, here's the move... After defeating all the commanders, the demons who created this army emerge. Its presence alone raids the castle and heads to the throne where Canaan is.
Due to the merits of the battle, the protagonists are asked by the knights to go to the king and rush to the castle. But Canaan himself awakens, and his demon clan is destroyed by a treasure sword.
It's practically like an event battle from here... I'm checking the perimeter of the castle with the demons of use, but there's no sign of the demons emerging. Sure, in the game, the conductor was coming to either Attire or Sherk, who was near the protagonists, so if you're observing with the demon, you'll notice...
"Lord Luon."
So Boslo raised his voice.
"The battle is almost over...... but there is no demon tribe at heart. It wasn't the earlier commander who led this battle, it should be the Demons."
"Probably."
When he gave his consent, Boslo roared briefly.
"If we don't defeat him, the battle won't end... but will the battlefield retreat like this"
I can't answer anything - there's a knight running up to us.
General, I have a report for you.
"What's up?
"Your Majesty once headed to the North Gate."
- Wait a minute. What the hell is that?
An event that definitely didn't exist in the game...... do you mean a new stream created by the fact that Boslo and Attire and the others were alive?
Anyway, this was unplanned and I couldn't even read how the Demons would move. I was just observing my friends. I use the demon to start checking the situation in town.
"... still in the middle of a fight, but Your Majesty is probably just moving"
Boslo was right. There's some movement around the castle. An atmosphere that doesn't seem to require urgency, though.
"Lord Luon, let's go back to the North Gate once."
"Okay...... so, but"
View Sofia. Boslo nods and tells me if he understands it.
"As for the princess, first in the form of laying low"
"Yes, Sophia, if King Canaan is here, you might want to stay away for a little while"
"Right."
While Sophia agrees, we're going back once.
Along the way, he meets Attire and the others who rushed from east to west, and also meets Silvi and the others. Looks like they're going to act with us, and they're going backwards together.
"The battle is good with the interpretation that it's already over, right?
Silvi makes the confirmation. When this one nodded, Kuuza shrugged his shoulder.
"I guess it's short for war... but it felt a lot longer"
"Me, too."
Sophia agrees. As I listen to their conversation, I think about what I'm going to do.
The user demon captured Canaan leaving the castle and the SS figure. It was an event that happened because the General was alive, and I could no longer read how it would unfold.
Nevertheless, from previous experience, it is possible that the conversation will proceed as per the game even if you are not in the event location. For example, it was possible that the demons attacked the moment King Canaan went outside...
From here on out, things went in a direction I didn't even anticipate.
"- At least the general thought,"
For a moment, I heard a voice in my ear that I wasn't used to hearing.
