Sword of the Philosopher

The next day, we resume our journey. I want to act first to see what Sophia and the others have accomplished... I decided to leave the capital because it looks like there could be one of the disturbances close to town.

"The next time I'll be back, it'll be when it's all over"

"Mr. Kuuza, are you okay about Mr. Allete?

When Sophia asked, Khuza shrugged her shoulders.

"Whatever I say, it won't mean a lot. Besides, we should be on guard in the future, including about traitors. It shouldn't be the same thing."

"I hope so...... but when this happens, you're going to be in the battle for the Southern invasion"

"I think that's for sure. And when it did, it did. So, I'm just gonna fight together."

If Kuuza is okay with that, we have no complaints... so we left the capital...

"We have to decide where to go."

I told my people.

"First, we'll see what happens in the academia, but then we'll decide what to do."

"Are we going to the Holy Tree, as we are at the end of the west?

Silvi mentions. But I shook my head from left to right.

"The battle with the Five Demons hasn't started at the moment, but I don't think it's weird when or when someone gets involved... as things stand, I even think we should stop going to the end of the West"

"If that's what Luon says...... then what?

Ask me. I'll think about it. There is one thing that comes to mind here: to continue my journey without purpose.

"... right, for once I have a candidate, can I look at the achievements of Sophia and the others before judging?

"Luon, do you need a lot of strength?

"Sort of."

That's what I'm gonna say to Sylvie, and I'm gonna tell my people.

"Let's start by looking for a place that we can verify… hopefully by the end of the day"

Leaving the capital, we arrived in the less visible mountains. It's not that there's an altitude, but there's no shadow around because it's off the street.

The time is about noon. It's a mild climate, so even a picnic would make me feel good, but what I'm going to do now is fight.

"So, who do we start with first?

"Then from me"

Sophia raises her hand. When I confront her, I feel that the magic is different.

"Are you already in preparation"

"Yes. The quality of magic changes so the enemy knows what to do too. You won't be able to use it in action yet."

"So, what's the power of the heart?

"Well, I guess."

Pull out the sword. The motion is very slow and seems to confirm the feeling of elaborated magic, etc.

"So, Master Luon"

"Oh, whenever."

At the same time as words, Sophia drives. By combining the powers of the Spirit, or the degree of physical strengthening is definitely also increasing.

First, I took it directly from the front. Birds fly from nearby trees as metal sounds around them.

"It's not simply a force push, is it?

"Yes."

Nodded Sophia retreated once. Probably tried how far you could go with physical enhancement.

Breathe and pour your magic into yourself. The motion is terribly quiet, I can feel the magic, but I can see it converging to keep the waves from rising.

As things stand, you can feel special magic as Sophia put it, so it's difficult to use it when considering the possibility of exposing it to the enemy. But at this rate, it doesn't seem to take long to get to the usability level.

Eventually the magic flow emitted by Sophia stops. Apparently it's done, but it doesn't look like it has that much strong magic.

"... Dear Luon"

"This one responds with the right force. Come."

Sophia snorted as this one told her. For a moment, magic emanates from your body at once.

I thought it was the same amount of magic she had when she used magic and moves, but in this case the quality is different. How effective that would be - I took it straight from the front, with a desire to be sure.

Immediately after, the heavy feeling comes from Sofia's fullness. I never get pushed back, but when I was distracted, I was about to get bounced off.

And above all, the magic of convergence - the power of the Four Spirits is swirling, adding strength to my gripping sword as if I were even more willing.

No, the emotions of the Four Spirits probably reside in me - when I intuited, I got pissilli and hives in my sword.

The sword you are using is just a long sword. I pour magic into this. I usually use it, but naturally there are limits to the magic that I pour into my weapon, so if I can't receive magic, I can get cracks.

Most importantly, as far as I'm concerned, it maintains near the limits of the magic I pour on my long sword... a sword that I would have endured before was apparently unable to cope with this move.

"Oops."

Immediately receive the sword and retreat. Because Sophia was concentrating her strength on herself, or because she couldn't cope with my movements, she collapsed for a moment.

Her gripping sword also cut the sky - the next moment, the magic moves away from her body and touches the ground.

Suddenly, the ground at your feet exploded.

Due to the aftermath of magic, it became a shock wave and landed on the ground - while I retreated and avoided the winding dust, I commented.

Looks like you used blasting magic.

"Su, excuse me"

It immediately interrupts the convergence of magic, whether it was an unexpected result for Sophia as well.

"No, that's fine. The move, not yet complete, cracked into my sword and decided the ground with a shock wave due to the aftermath. It's quite powerful."

"Um, it's a sword."

"Don't worry. Because there's stock."

Call the container and replace the sword. Sophia then speaks again.

"I just had two problems."

"What?"

"One, I think Master Luon understood, is to emit a lot of special magic by merging the powers of the Four Spirits. If we don't get rid of this properly, it's going to be hard to sublimate to moves."

"We'll have to be temperamental. What about the other one?

It's this sword.

Sophia showing me her own sword. That 's--

"With that sword, you mean it's not enough to use this move?

"Mr. Heada said the magic was too special and would be unbearable if we did everything we could. I didn't do everything I could."

"You won't have to worry about weapons"

Here Silvi puts in a cross spear.

"Soon we can have objects that unite the power of the Divine Spirit and Spirit. So you can handle Sophia's moves, too?

"... that's what I'm talking about. I'm not worried about weapons."

When I say that, I tell Sophia again.

"What Sophia does further enhances the skill of fusing the powers of the Spirits… but also mastering other magic and moves. Don't leave us alone."

"I know...... now, is that good?

"From my eyes, I think it's a good way to counter the Demon King. What do you think of Garc?

"I agree."

Garc, who appeared on his shoulder, tells Sophia.

'As a person named Header also said, it's not something anyone can do. And the fusion further enhances the power of the Spirit. Definitely. Be the trump card'

"Thank you. When Luon and Garc told me, I felt confident."

That's good. Well, next thing you know...

"Then it's me."

Kuuza comes and switches to where Sophia stood. While paying attention to the cane in my right hand, I ask him.

"What was Kuza doing at the academia?

"I first considered if I couldn't do a technique like Mr. Sophia's, and I knew I couldn't, so I switched to another candidate"

"Another candidate......?

"Originally I was also researching myself, so I know to some extent what magic I am good at… and how to fight. On top of that, let's see what we do with the trump card - it's still far from finished, but just as far as we can go right now."

The atmosphere seems confident. Then, the moment this one nodded, Khuza moved.

"Well, let's get started."

With words, he threw down - the wand he was holding.
