Sword of the Philosopher

The moment they capture the figure of a demonized mercenary, all pull out their swords. The person who reacts to it - but it doesn't work.

Looks like Bossa's hair, leather armor and a long sword on his hands - I can tell at a glance that he's already stopped being human because the light that resides in his eyes is creepy and even more disastrous.

Of these, the thing I paid particular attention to is the thing I grip on my left hand. That 's--

"... of animals, feet?

Sophia says. Feet about the size of a dog or cat...... it just doesn't have the same vibe as animal feet. This is...

"Are you eating demons?

Silvi squeaks. At the same time as that word, a mercenary carried that foot into his mouth - eating it.

What, did you call the demons to eat? I just can't believe the demons are waiting to be eaten.

"It's easier to think of it as manipulative."

Kuuza says. Surely the demons have no indication that they will attack us even if we approach them. This will mean that the mercenaries are calling and manipulating demons and keeping them waiting for nothing to serve as their own food.

"Significantly, you have considerable power."

Sophia says. It's just a guess by the magic you can feel... but if it's just the size of the signs, would you shoulder to shoulder with the top class Demons, even if they don't even have to be executive?

What if this guy has strengthened his ability to eat demons this way without being defeated by the warriors requested by the Alliance - just normal, demons can't do this.

Demons live with basic magic as food, but it's harder to keep eating and being strong than there's a limit to the total amount of magic they can take in.

But not the mercenary in front of you. Is it because you're human, or is this guy just unusual - here, Kuuza spoke out even more.

"... you look worse than I imagined. What do we do?"

"They're alert to us, too."

The next speaker was Silvi.

"It's possible you're hiding something. We have to fight with caution."

The moment I stepped forward as I said it, the mercenary moved.

With a long sword to the side - that's the blade of the wind, and it's coming at us.

By the looks of it, the power seems low. I guess it's a move that emphasizes speed rather than.

But Sylvie already reacted, and I should have been able to prevent it - my body moves reflexively.

Take the sword and take the blade of the wind. Ginn, the tall metal noise echoed around me, and later all that remained was the look of me with my sword to cover Silvi.

"... that's probably the move when you're a mercenary. I think it's demonized and fortified."

I'll analyze it and try to get out a step ahead. But...

"Wait, Luon"

Silvi's voice. Now that I know what you're trying to say, I speak to her.

"I understand you want to fight, but you can also call it an emergency -"

"That's why. Sure, this guy seems strong, but if we can't defeat this many opponents, aren't we going to be useful in fighting the Demons in the future?

I'll be silent. In the meantime, Sylvie keeps looking at mercenaries.

"I also know Luon will be vigilant... but still, this place is for us"

- I'm pretty sure I'm pointing my nerves because of an unplanned event. That's why I was willing to fight too, but under these circumstances, does Silvi feel like he's proposing something like that?

"I agree with that too"

Sophia says too. The will to fight without me seems stiff. So I snorted a little too.

"Well, suppose you do"

Kuuza sets up a cane - the three stand side-by-side and confront the mercenaries. Signs of opponents pressing it, but along with that, I was concerned about the demons behind the mercenaries.

I don't show up from behind the bushes, but there are definitely demons around me. It doesn't look like it's moving at all, but if the mercenaries are manipulating the demons themselves, it's not weird when they attack us.

Shortly after, Silvi moved. Pack your time at the speed of the wind and swallow your sword. That's 'Belial Slash' for intermediate moves. A flashing sword on the side definitely had the power to blow it up but not strange.

But the mercenaries took it flat. That's all it takes, and even bounces back her blade with momentum.

It seems that physical strengthening is also done at a considerable level. Silvi realizes that the power battle is unfavourable or retreats. I thought mercenaries would chase, but they didn't set me up. Even if I'm pressed to deal with it calmly... from what I can tell, it also looks like a breeze that I have trouble dealing with it and don't want to move.

"- Light!

Shortly after she retreated, now Kuuza unleashed her magic. Does the blue and white light mean 'Holly Lance'?

A spear of light, which converges greatly in magic, is emitted towards the mercenary. Powerful enough. The opponent lays his sword in a slightly slower motion,

"-The thunder light!

Further Sophia's "Lightning" was rolled out. The spear of light also received mercenaries, but was completely delayed in responding to the lightning strike and struck decently.

Thunderlight pierces the mercenary's body...... but no visible damage seen just by stopping the movement for a moment.

"It seems to be very durable."

Silvi moves further after commenting. Trying to roll it out is the same 'belial slash' as earlier, but at that moment the mercenary attempts to respond, the sword movement changes dramatically.

Feint - Immediately after understanding, mercenaries also try to turn to counter-attacks for the first time to figure out what to do. But that's where Kuza's "Holy Shot" came in. Strike straight into the arm area and stiffen the movement for just a moment without damage.

As for Silvi, that moment is enough. Continuously, the high-speed sword, the "Dagger of Instant Breath," was decided brilliantly.

There, Sophia approaches and launches an attack. The magnitude of that magic power is considerable - I found it to be Dawn's Land Dragon, a magical guide advanced technique that I had ever unleashed.

A sword trident is released from Sofia. The mercenary looked like he was trying to move to dodge, but one step behind, a direct hit. From a sword that went vertically from his right shoulder, he must have definitely felt handy.

I thought this would destroy them - but the mercenaries would set them up without slowing them down. Its aim is Sofia. It was a mercenary blow that dumped her defense and turned into an attack, but against her, she retreated with a sword and with that recoil.

In the meantime, Silvi carries out the pursuit. Kuuza provided more cover in "Holy Shot" to retain the sword movement, and now slaughter was knocked into the mercenary by "Heavenly Impact Fiery Wave". As a result, mercenaries also finally retreat.

But it still didn't go away, and Sylvie tried to set it up further.

For a moment, magic erupts from the mercenaries - that was enough to surprise even me.

"Eh!?"

Reflectively Sylvie pulls back. Sophia also immediately retreated again, where a mercenary waved his sword.

It wasn't aimed at them. A black shockwave emanates from the tip of the sword and is coming towards us.

"- Protect!"

At that time, Khuza exercises magic. Probably in the application of "Magic Shield," a thin green barrier appeared before the Sophias.

If this is the case - right after you think so, the barrier and black clash. Khuza's magic was somehow overwhelming, but he still offset the other power of his thoughts.

"... the attack is dangerous if you eat it."

Sylvie says.

"In addition, it is also quite durable. Can you afford not to set me up here, or is there any other reason..."

Immediately after the words, the magic of the mercenary becomes even more full. If we're used to fighting, there's nothing wrong with it, but the average person has the chance of standing up or even falling in.

How many demons did you eat and get so strong... in the midst of endless questions, because of the damage done - the mercenaries moved out first.
