Sword of the Philosopher

The discussions and work of Garc and the others continued until morning. Sophia and the others go to sleep, and I check the situation with the demon.

'- Um, you got it together. Now we're done. "

Finally, Gark sums it up, and finally we're done talking. There have already been reports from the user demons who observe the crusaders that they are moving.

"Garc, can we go?

"I don't know what to do about the magic team."

The spirits were moving around a lot, so I guess that's the countermeasure.

"Garc, I mean we're going to do an experiment this time, but can that be established as a method against the magic of the Demon King?

"I know there are some ideas that are fundamentally different in nature between the Demon Nation and the Demon King, but it's an experiment that includes whether the methods you build will be activated properly. In addition, validation will be carried out thereafter. You don't have to worry about that.

"Okay...... by the way -"

"Whatever we're doing, we're not gonna know we're intervening."

Gark says, as you would anticipate my words.

"The Magic Regiment rebels against the magic of the land."

"Then I guess we'll be fine...... so how do we move?

"I did the measures on the trap here, so the rest is crusader support... but I also have some grasp inside the cave. Explain?

"Oh, please."

- The story says the cave is pretty deep. At the time of the Crusaders' arrival, it is not known at this time whether the Demons will show their faces, or whether they will rely on the trap and remain lurking in the back.

"Garc, do you know more about the demon? I could see the demons out there."

Further exchange of information shall be carried out. The demons with the Demons can be dealt with sufficiently by the Sofias on a level.

"Considering the number of demons, I think Lord Luon and the others can handle it."

"Just us... we need to talk about this."

When I said that, my people woke up. Kuuza said after explaining that our measures were over and that we were the only ones who could handle the fight.

"The rest is about how we deal with the Crusaders."

"Oh. I don't know if I can handle demons and demons fighting this time because I don't have all the strength of a crusader. As much as Mr. Allete, I feel like I can fight it... What do we do?

"Am I allowed to decide?

"Kuza is the one who has the most to do with the Crusaders. By leaving the trap measures to the Garcs, it is becoming somewhat accommodating. I'll take care of it."

"Then you are... First of all, it would be bad if you didn't find an insider in the crusade to succeed. Nevertheless, given the possibility that there are other insiders besides him -"

"Yeah, but I have one opinion on that."

Gark suddenly interrupted the story.

"We are planting a magic formation to trap the crusaders, but naturally Marion himself will be involved if it stays this way. There are two ways to prevent this from happening, either by detecting the attack range of the magic formation in advance and not eating it at the activation point, or by using special protective equipment or the like to avoid the effects of the magic formation '.

"It's gonna be hard to avoid magic."

I'll sort out Gark's words in my head while I state them.

"A man named Marion is a captain, just like Mr. Allete, isn't he? Then even crusaders should be in an important position. I don't think it's that hard to change your position if you're just a soldier, but the captain isn't either."

"Then you possess magic tools and other things to prevent them from being attacked." It's a magic formation made up of demons. Tools, etc. to avoid being affected by it will be easy to create '

"... Garc, is it possible to make sure you possess the tools if you go near them?

"Probably."

"Okay. Then..."

I'll tell my people.

"I'll find an inside man for the Crusaders. Because I can use magic to kill signs and get close. If I know what's going on, I'll report it."

So I'm going somewhere where the crusaders march while I erase the signs by myself.

"Nevertheless, the crusaders are also wary of the magic of erasing the signs, so would it be dangerous to get too close?

"Probably fine, I suppose."

Raifin's voice. After I suggested to my buddies, she said she would accompany them, so this is how we act together.

"Because the magic used by Master Luon is so difficult for the Spirit to take into account."

"Oh well. Be as careful as you can."

When I responded, I saw a crusader in my sight. The lead is two strange knights, but behind them are Allete and Marion.

"... Garc, Raefin. Can you feel any suspicious signs from Marion at this distance?

"I don't feel it"

"Neither do I. The face of the Crusaders may have made tools to keep the Devil's side out of sight, beyond being those who engage with magic on a daily basis."

Even if there are tools, there are so many things that you wouldn't know if Garc or Raifin didn't approach you... when you can't even feel the Spirit Queen or the Spirit Spirit, are they made quite sophisticated?

"... hmm?

Garc speaks to the lid. In the meantime, the Crusaders are closing in on us... but in the meantime, we don't seem to have found out about this one.

"I see, is that what you mean"

Raefin says. I guess I was able to stare at suspicious figures on both sides more than Garc had reacted earlier.

Crusaders pass by me hiding in the bush. As far as I'm concerned, Marion can't even feel any suspicious signs.

"Lord Luon, let's conclude"

There's a voice from Gark.

'As you can read, I'm pretty sure you have some kind of tool in your possession. I can't tell if it's for a trap or if it has other uses. "

"... So, who's at heart?

"Possessed by a person named Marion and one of the other knights who was leading the way"

"I felt the same way"

I'm pretty sure that's what Raifin and Gark say. I mean...

"You mean knights and wizards, each with an insider"

'Sounds like it. There was no one else suspicious.'

"I don't think it's safe to be sure because I don't have the tools... but I found someone to target first. Talk to your people and deal with it."

What are you gonna do?

"This all depends on how they get out. Nevertheless, given where the traitor is, I can imagine to some extent… Shall we head back for one last meeting with our friends"

After I said that, I went back the way I was before and went back to my people.

That's why we're moving to do something about Marion and the other knight.

Explain the final steps to Sophia and the others.

"The Garcs carried out the measures against the demonic trap. And what movement the traitors will make… Sophia and the others should be able to predict"

"Do you mean to defeat an Arete or other person in command?"

Kuuza mentions it with a rugged face. I replied "Yes," and nodded.

"The aim of the Demons is the destruction of the Crusaders. I mean, after trying not to get away with it by demons and all that, when Marion and the others were behind it, they were after Mr. Allete."

"If so, does Luon observe trends nearby?

Sylvie asks. I nodded at it again.

"Oh... it looks like we haven't found out yet, so we'll hide and see how it goes. So, Sophia and the others..."

"I have an idea about that"

Kuuza raised his hand.

"Do you mind if I talk to Mr. Raefin and move?

"Okay. Sophia and Silvi will act with Kuuza."

"Fine."

"Okay."

After hearing from both of them - I told them again.

"I mean, the operation starts - honestly, it definitely turns two or three depending on the situation. This is a battle I don't even know how to play, so I can't give you any advice... but Sophia and the others should be able to make their own decisions. Please."

Nodding together - the operation has begun.
