Sword of the Philosopher

After a few hours of rest, I finally succeed in finding out where the Demons are based.

The place is the shoreline of the mountain - a cave that exists on the ground. It is difficult to observe from the surroundings surrounded by woods and hard to find.

"You've found a lot of people in this country... and wait."

We deliberately circulate the information that the Demons themselves are in the cave and intercept the crusaders - possibly a ploy in itself.

"There's a chance it was set up from the start... anyway, it's a move"

It's bad for Sophia and the others... but I woke up my people and decided to move all the way near the Demon stronghold.

As a result of a slight detour, we arrived beside the woods in a position, albeit remote. If we're going to focus on the cave, we're on the west side. The crusaders should probably be attacking to break through the woods from the south side.

The surrounding area seemed to be a forest zone, with as many places to hide oneself. On their way to this place, Garc and Raifin were confirming the signs of the demons in sequence, but when they saw that they couldn't be confirmed, there seemed to be no doubt that they were pulling into the cave.

"Crusaders should also be scouting using demons... other than being in contact with crusaders insiders lurking in caves, probably to avoid giving them as much information as possible"

Kuuza says. He's right, it's not like mine. I could also confirm the existence of a user demon. Reefin discovered it beforehand, so he couldn't find it.

"The forest is full of demons. These would be for intercepting crusaders, not traps'

Garc on my right shoulder speaks. Then...

"Garc, check, but we haven't been noticed, have we?

"Oh. I don't see how you're on guard over this one."

"From this place, can you confirm the placement of the demons or anything suspicious?

"Um, about that... there's a trap that can be felt even if you're separated"

"Trap?"

"Oh. But the details..."

Gark throws his gaze at Sofia.

'You should leave it to Gnome. Given the properties of the magic that sleeps on the earth, we should also be able to analyze it in this place'

"... Loct"

Norm's loct appeared with Sophia's words.

"Loct, do you have the details?

"We need to find out a little bit... about the possibility that the Demons will look at us"

"Follow Me About It"

Gark made a clear statement. Thus the Spirit and the Spirit join hands and move to grasp the dwelling place of the Devil Nation.

Then Raifin joined in on it. Plus you thought it looked interesting, even came out to Amalia.

"Uhm, with the power of Loct, you're going to be able to grasp the inside of the cave."

"Yes, it looks like Lady Raefin and Lady Garc can figure it out outside the cave."

"We didn't really work together this way, but it's very good to be able to make enemies naked round depending on how we do it"

Spirits in conversation - or in addition to spirits that are high among spirits, there are divine spirits, albeit identical. It even seems natural to do so.

"For example, can you grasp the demon castle?

Silvi asked the lid. The one who responded was Amalia.

"This time it is the natural cave where the enemy is lurking. You have a strong side that you can analyze because you can interfere even more successfully with the earth. I wonder if it would be difficult to do the same thing at the Demon base."

"Besides, you could be exposed."

Raefin follows Amalia to state.

"Consider this case because we can build a method that this movement does not expose. Even if we can analyze it, if we expose it, we'll be attacked by demons."

"So this was convenient. It's not a good idea to rely on it, okay?"

When I answered, Rocto said, "I'm done."

"Apparently the enemy is building magic throughout the forest"

"Magic? Is that magic to destroy people who have broken in?

To my question, Roct nodded small.

"But in the case of magic that turns forests into scorched soil, you should just as well notice the crusaders. This time it forms a magic formation deep in the ground, cleverly hidden by demons and other exasperations. I just don't know about the effect, but I was wondering if it might be magic that would stop the movement or hurt my hand more or less."

"You mean you were prepared in anticipation of the crusaders coming? If the demons were arranged to hide the magic formation, it would be your fate."

"What do you want to do?

Loct asks. I sent my gaze to Gark,

"Magic Formation... If the Demon Nation formed it, it would be very difficult for us to deal with it."

'... um, maybe we could do some demonstration experiments here'

Gark says abruptly. Empirical experiments?

"What are you going to do?

'Before I give you an explanation... Roct, do you know about the magic the Demons unleash?

"It's very easy compared to being called the Five Demons. Not to mention the magic formation by the Demons alone this time. I was wondering if I could."

Roct seems to know what Gark will do. A commentary came in from Gark as he tried to put his doubts to the mouth.

'The mighty magic that the Demon King would unleash... countermeasures to it, but I had to verify if it would happen as theoretically. Whether or not, the experiment was meant to be done in cooperation with the spirits, but for once I wanted to see if it would work for the demonic powers unleashed'

"I mean, what we're going to do now is do the measures against the Demon King work properly?

'Yes... it's the way the Demon King does it against magic, but it's a combination of several means'

- It's about the Demon King, so my people, including myself, are drinking and listening.

"First, don't let the earth work with the magic of sleeping. The magic of the Demon King is activated using the magic of the five great demons that eroded the earth, according to the description of Lord Luon. Then the idea is that if the Demon King can't lift up those powers, the magic will not activate, and it can be prevented. '

"However, there is a serious risk of relying solely on this approach"

Raefin makes a statement following Gark.

"You may be pushed by the power of the Demon King... if you do, the continent will collapse"

'That's what I'm talking about. That's why it inhibits magic activation while offsetting magic and dampening power.'

"It's primarily our job."

Gark continues after Raefin states it to supplement it.

'Offset, even if you say it in one bite, there are different ways to do it. Let the power of the Spirit and the Spirit be embedded in the power of the five demons who sleep in the earth, for example, and let the magic quarrel with each other when it is activated'

"Fighting...?

"Use the magic of the spirits to manipulate the magic of the demons. You can't manipulate everything because of the amount of magic, but you collide with the magic that's turned over and what's not, and you kill the power."

"There are many other methods… we use a combination of measures, as Mr Garc said, because it does not mean that we can respond completely in one way."

After Gark, Raefin makes a difficult face here.

"I analyze how much magic is asleep, so I think if the measures are activated properly, they can be suppressed theoretically... because of the combination of many means, I also had doubts about whether all of them would work as expected"

"That's why we're going to test it on our demonic opponents here once."

Gark said, glancing at us.

'Regardless, I'll set up other measures to seal the magic so the trap doesn't start. Can you leave this place to me?

- There is nothing but snorts as far as we are concerned than what the Spirit and the Spirit say. I just have a question.

"I'll leave the trap measures to the Garcs...... but how do we move?

"Including them, think"

I mean, this time, the operation will be planned by the Garcs - what will happen to them?

"Regards"

Raefin also says. As a result, we agreed... to rest for a moment.
