Sword of the Philosopher

"We have to start with the disposition of the unusable."

Demons, Daniele speaks out. The next moment, Marion had a startling look on her face,

"Wait, wait."

Shortly after he uttered his voice, the Demons snarled their fingers - a scream leaked out of Marion's mouth instead of his words. Plus the betrayed knight shows the same reaction.

I thought something was going on. Arrow tip, you two collapse. There must have been some trick on the tools I was giving them.

"... I thought it was a useful tool."

I say, shifting my gaze to Daniele.

"I didn't know it was meant to dispose of a fledgling human being"

"He told these guys it was a useful tool of sorts. I took it as a pleasure."

Daniele responds to my words while creating a distorted grin.

"In the end, we demons are everything. It's weirder to try to have a reciprocal relationship with a deal or something when it comes to human beings."

... I don't know what the intentions were for Marion and the others to work with the Demons, but you mean they only ended up getting thrown away by Daniele?

"... is that all you want to say?

Allete says. To a voice with a lot of anger, I advise.

"Better not attack the detour. The fact that there's an inside man means that your information is out of the question. We might still have one or two traps."

"That's very helpful."

Daniele responds with no gestures to hide.

"I'm telling you, I wasn't going to tell you guys I was dying. I guess it's for my own good."

Shortly after the word - the ground sounded suddenly.

"Become...!?"

Someone in the rear groaned. I know exactly what I'm talking about. It feels like magic coming up from your feet.

"It's a magic I've constructed quite carefully to keep you guys from finding out. It's not as powerful as dying in an instant. Let me see you suffer a lot."

Immediately after that word, the magic at your feet pushes at once. It felt as if a large number of demons emerged from the ground, and I could have expected that if measures had not been taken, they would have been quite dangerous.

But - on the verge of the magic formations being activated, I heard Gark.

"Our win... naturally."

The next moment, the magic pushing from the ground suddenly squished.

- What?

Daniele frowns.

What then arose was the spread of magic. It's fundamentally different from earlier movements that have been aiming and pushing at us. The magic moves in a direction where there is no magic, and the magic clashes and offsets each other, and the power decreases.

"Stupid, why..."

"I thought you said you were licking it.

I opened my mouth to surprise Daniele.

"Sounds like magic was a failure... I don't know how it works, but aren't we talking about not being able to demonstrate your abilities in the land where the Spirit lives?

"Stupid - they say their magic is poured into the earth"

"To the earth?

Alete speaks to a word that hastened Daniele ran.

"I wonder what that means? You think you're doing something?

Asked, Daniele looked to Allete after he gave a bitter look as to whether he thought his remarks were poor.

"You don't need to know... because you're going to die here!

The demons roared in unison. Immediately after realizing they were going to attack, the crusaders' faces responded immediately.

Begin interception. It is not strange to float in a series of unexpected developments, but the face of the Crusaders is well adapted.

"... the information was definitely missing"

In it, Allete, confronting Daniele, speaks.

"But apparently you couldn't do a good job of analyzing the power of the war... no, like a human being, maybe in a crisis situation, logical thinking stops working?

"- Shit!"

Tongued Daniele turned her back instantly. There Allete puts a wand on it, releasing a number of light bullets - but the Demons avoid it as they turn their backs, exploring the signs.

The demons around you will be reduced in number by the face of the Crusaders. There's no reinforcements or anything like that, and we won't have a problem leaving it to them like this.

If so... I will follow suit because Arrete has begun to follow Daniele. Directly in front you can see the forest exit and Daniele rushes all the way there.

Alete follows it. After that, when I pull out, there's...

"You were quick to come back."

It was Silvi's voice. In addition to her in front of the cave, Sophia and Kuuza stood to hold Daniele back.

Naturally, the Demons stop moving against strangers... but they immediately seem to have guessed.

"You're one of the guys who was hiding you...!

"That's the thing. The demon near the entrance to the cave was cleaned up. No more reinforcements."

Kuuza declares. Then Daniele seeped the killer,

"You guys......!

"Yeah, I think there's something we need to deal with before we hit the spear of anger."

- It was too late at the time Kuuza said it. From behind Daniele, Allete was relentlessly trying to unleash magic.

As a demon tribe, it was sandwiched and the response was decidedly delayed - not all of that. The magic unleashed by Allete was so intense that it altered the ambient air.

"It's over."

At the same time as the proclamation, magic overflows from the iron wand. A number of light bullets occur… the number will be enough to fill the perimeter.

"There's a human flair to it!

"You were less than a fool to lose to that human being."

Light bullets are emitted to the demonic tribe with the cold words of Allete. The light that ravaged the space but filled it all up, without giving Daniele a moving gap - countless light bullets struck the demon clan directly.

I hear the scream of the disconnected demon. It would have been a shameful settlement if it had ended, but if I hadn't intervened or the Garcs had taken care of the magic formation, it would have been a battle that would have wiped out the Crusaders.

Eventually, when the light bullet disappeared, the demonic Daniele who was on the spot was without shadows or shapes. It was undoubtedly annihilated, which is why Allete breathed.

"... first of all, thank you for your help"

Words that can be directed at us. Then Kuuza shrugged her shoulders,

"If you're safe, we'll be happy."

"... although I have a lot to ask..."

Demonic roar. Daniele has been destroyed, but the demons have not disappeared. Besides, it would be like a rampage because my husband disappeared.

"Let's start with the extermination of the demons."

"We're in a cave. This is the woods, please."

"Are you okay?

"Trust me."

Sophia and Silvi snort silently. Looking at the two of them, Allete seems to have thought about it for a while.

"... ok. If you decide it's dangerous, go right back."

"Oh."

Allete returns to where his people are. That's how he disappeared into the woods. After dropping her off, Khuza said.

"Mr. Leon, the operation is a success."

"Oh. Garc, how was the magic done?

"Good. I found some problems, but this time it didn't affect me."

"Does that problem get fatal when it comes to countering the Demon King?

'We need to verify. But make sure you fix it and show it.'

"Please... Now"

I said, after a glimpse of my people.

"Much of the operation is over...... but the demons remain. Don't be alarmed until the end. Let's go!"

With our voices we enter the cave. The demons who were supposed to be pulling in the back near the entrance had the sight of heading to the entrance ahead of us.

Kuza and Sophia's magic hold it back. I also intercept by magic, and Sylvie is fully active by sword moves.

The actions of the demons who lost their masters were terribly simple, and we were just glad we kept knocking down the demons that stormed. Relatively from the front, the Sophias have the power to win... and it didn't take long to defeat the demons in the cave.

And back to the woods. There's an Alete and the others who have already destroyed the demons.

"... well, I have to hear from you guys next time"

She speaks...... Thus, the battle of the Crusaders is over.
