Sword of the Philosopher

The battle is decided, and Sophia and Silvi breathe. From the influence of being sucked by magic, the two drop their shoulders and expose their fatigue.

"Oh man... you managed to take him down"

"Oh, is that it?"

Kuuza agreed and breathed just like them.

The battle is over - the battle against mercenaries is over, but there was still more to come.

All of a sudden, demonic voices stick around me. Sophia and the others who put up their swords instantly. Shortly afterwards, demons appeared in the woods.

"Are you saying that the demonized mercenaries were still manipulating it?"

"Of, sounds like"

I agree... I try to get out in front of both of you. Then Sylvie tries to stop it.

"Hey, Luon -"

"The strength of demons is not so great. Even if they're tired, Sophia and the others should be able to handle it."

After I tell you, I quickly chant - producing spears built with magic in my hands.

"I mean, you don't have to intervene here, you can handle it without a problem...... but you're just tired, aren't you? I'll take care of it later."

Coverage, are you there?

"You don't have to."

Check the surroundings with the user demon in the sky. There are demons in the woods, but the way all of them are behind the defeated mercenaries.

And the demons' eyes are on us, without exception, because they emitted considerable magic in earlier battles. There is no zero chance that it will go to town if you take it away because of the high number, but at this rate it looks fine.

"I only let you see the strength of the three of us. Now it's my turn to move."

"But don't these demons need to give it all away, do they?

Sylvie asks the question. I just nodded naturally,

"Oh. But I guess I can get to know one end of my strengths"

Spear with words...... In fact, I saw the battle of Sophia and the others and felt a little higher. Enough opponents to dissipate it.

Demons storm. I fought directly in front of the demon - just like the demon, I started the assault.

- The battle is a totally unbittersweet one-sided thing for me. We will defeat the imminent demon with a spear... the sight could have been pleasant to see from the Sophia and the others watching.

"Huh!"

Destroy a few demons together by a spear blow. Grab the spear again and another shudder, and the demons that attack you disappear in an instant.

I remember when I hunted demons underground before. Compared to that one, the number is small, and the response is easy. However, given the fact that there are Sophia and the others in the rear, we need to make sure they don't break through.

Well, that's not a difficult story in and of itself - and even more demonic destruction while you think about it. Here's one, divulge your thoughts.

"I'm surprised you were able to follow this many."

"You had all that magic, I can't explain it without some principle."

Sylvie says from the rear.

"But Luon...... that feels good. If you take it down so lightly."

"I'm telling you, I didn't do anything special. With the strength of this demon, Sylvie and Sophia can do the same."

Explain as you blow the demon away. Approximately fifteen minutes after I started waving the spear. There are definitely fewer signs.

"Garc."

"Um, what's up?

"Just to be sure, there's no such thing as the origin of the demon somewhere, is there?

"No, you don't."

"Okay, then it's okay"

Speak up, and intercept more demons that storm. It's pretty aggressive because the demonized mercenary's brainwash is unraveled, and it's coming straight at us. Some beings are supposed to move according to this movement, but the more reason they come at us - the more I doubt it.

- The aftermath the mercenary was manipulating, I guess.

Kuuza is analyzing it backwards. In contrast, I raised my voice.

"Can you explain what you mean?

"I don't mind, but it's just a guess, okay?

"That's fine."

"Then… what I'm trying to say is that I've been manipulating so many demons that I've planted my own magic in them."

After speculation, set aside for a short while and he gives an explanation.

"Mr. Sophia and Sylvie were absorbed by that demon... given that they were eating against the demon, they can't eat us with complete flesh, but if we touch our bodies, we can assume that we can take away our power. I was wondering if it was possible to send magic to demons instead."

"I mean, you said you were sending magic and stopping the movement?

"Yes," Kuuza said to my question.

"In other words, the mercenary has disappeared but its magic remains. If the demons are under the influence of the magic instilled in them, I'm convinced that they're running off and attacking us."

"... hey, one question, okay?

Momentum blows the demon away and turns his neck toward Kuza.

"Is it possible that you have the same capabilities as a mercenary?

"Is that your ability to take away magic? Exactly. That would be an inherent ability."

Signs of demons approaching. Even more demons strike intermittently when you look back.

But I wave my spear flat - then for about five minutes. At last the battle was fought, and the demons were wiped out.

"... it would be more convenient for the town to get attacked here."

Take a breath and I'll tell Sophia and the others.

"After defeating the mercenaries, it was a pain in the ass if they got scattered"

"That's all an aggressive demon... if he got away with it, it would have been tough to exterminate him"

Sophia agrees. Here I look at her and ask.

"An earlier move... did you bring the power of the three spirits under contract together?

"Yes, it's a method that Amalia has devised... but I haven't been able to fully converge the power of the Spirit, and most importantly, I've been able to do very little such as apply my power"

"So that power... whatever, don't make this a pretty weapon"

There was no way on the game to merge the powers of the Spirit. Plus, there are few examples of what I've learned in this world. Not zero, but the user should have been limited to a considerable number of powerful people.

"Is it still working here that the descendants of the wise?

When Kuuza says, I return the words "I don't know".

"What I can say for sure is that it's never a move that anyone can imitate... all that power with no contract yet with Salamander. If we refine it further, we won't be in a hurry."

"Enough to defeat the Demon King?

Sylvie asks. So I'll think about it.

A move that unites the powers of the Four Spirits and Sophia herself… If there were a sword there that combines the powers of the Divine Spirit to create, it would undoubtedly be the strongest blow against the Demon King.

"... you've got one more thing to do"

"Right."

Sophia speaks happily.

"Learn about spirits in academia. And in doing so, you're going to pursue this move further."

"That's right. I wonder if that would mean a contract with Salamander first."

Saying as he sent his gaze to Kuuza, he nodded.

"I guess. Within the Kingdom of Nateria - I can guide you quite a bit around the capital. I'll take care of it."

"Please... then -"

Return, reminds me of something important. hunter's cabin. There, information sleeps about Sylvie's vengeful opponent.

"... Speaking of which, I have one question"

Sylvie opened her mouth before I could talk to her.

"Why were the mercenaries here earlier? According to what I've heard in town, it was quite a while ago that he destroyed the house... which means he was based here and eating demons harder"

"Do you want to find out?

Sofia suggested. Silvi and Khuza nod successively and head to the hunter's cabin.

How does Silvi react when he learns the information? In the game, I didn't see much of a response at the stage where I found the information.

Silvi leads the way and goes inside. The interior was quite dusty, but Silvi begins to look inside, no matter.

I don't know how you react...... while this one was keeping silence, I discovered something Silvi had.
