Sword of the Philosopher

Two Simultaneous Attacks of the Five Demons... There was no case of simultaneous attacks on different Demons in the game, and this is my first situation.

At the time we've defeated the two of them so far, it's never been possible for the conversation to proceed at the same time... it's been a hassle, even though I predicted it.

Rayfin, check it out.

"Yes."

"We still need time to figure out what to do with the Demon King's magic, don't we?

"Right. If you hurry, you need to move a lot, but then you'll be exposed to the demons."

Right there...... I guess it's possible if you just get ready, but if you don't find out, the story will be different.

Thinking about what to do, Sylvie asked me a question.

"Luon, what's needed to fight the Five Demons...... can't we stop that?

The most serious question. But I shook my head left and right.

"The premise event is to discover, if you say so, the signs that each of the five demons is moving. If you get in the way on the way, the demon side will undoubtedly move more than the Five Demons are moving. Besides, it is possible that you will not be able to enter the castle without following the course of the event properly. It's also risky to interrupt poorly."

"Mr. Luon, why don't you just wait for me to overthrow those five demons?

Now kuuza question.

"Eina, for example... you must be Sophia's cousin, right? If she talks, she'll definitely listen. We need to consider how to explain it."

"I can't do that either. Especially one."

The five great demons fighting this time are Guddis, whose western castle is the root, and Daklide, whose eastern castle is the root. Both are awaiting very troublesome events when they move.

"First of all, western... I'm a demon named Guddies, but you've explained it to Raefin before, haven't you?

"You're a demon who experiments with the power of a wise man."

"That's right. Use the power of the wise to produce numerous demons. Ledras, for example, was releasing demons for the sake of strategy, but in the case of Gdyce, an experiment that produced a lot of demons and turned them into spiritual soldiers. In other words, the purpose is to experiment."

"You mean if you leave it alone, there could be massive demons and damage."

Kuuza speaks bitterly. I nodded instantly,

"In view of those current circumstances... do you think the knights will be convinced?

"Hmm, that doesn't sound like it"

"Guddis did plan to expand the experiment enough to cover the central part of the continent, so leaving it alone would be devastating... and it could be enough to hinder his defense against the southern invasion. Besides, after time, the demon gets stronger... I don't know what will happen if I leave it alone"

"Then what about the other five demons?

Sylvie asks. Besides, I shook my head left and right.

"This one, we definitely have to prevent it"

"Do you do anything worse than assert that way?

"I don't know what to do first. If you do poorly, everything around your castle will be wilderness."

All Sophia and the others gather their gaze and wait for words in my statement.

"... the other five demons, Daklide, is conducting an investigation into the mighty magic unleashed by the Demon King, etc. What he's trying to do is test the magic."

"Suppose, if activated, it's a reduced version, but when magic is activated?

To Sophia's question, I say yes.

"I got nothing in the story without any damage, so there was no problem. But what happens if you leave it..."

"In how many days does that magic experiment take place?

Now the inquiry from Raifin. I answer with a sinister face.

"You don't know. There's no depiction of how many days have passed in the story... but it's not like there's just over a month of respite"

"Indeed, measures will need to be taken as soon as possible. We have to hurry."

"Take care of the demon king?

"It's also about counteracting the southern invasion."

"Um, we have to do everything we can to make this happen."

Garc's voice. A child garc appears on the table and begins to explain to everyone.

"At present, Feus and Azua are also completing the measures faster than planned by acting… but we will still have to hurry. There, Lord Luon."

"What?"

"About the Southern invasion, but how long will it be over?

"Honestly, you don't know. Nevertheless, I'm sure it's not the kind of story that ends in a day or two. I heard about the demons gathering in the south, and the troops began to concentrate around King Canaan, and the battle began... at that point, it seems like it's been about a month."

"Uhm, right"

"You think you can handle that?

"By the looks of it, it's critical... if we know that the Spirit of God is moving, we are in high danger of being able to take measures. Therefore, it takes time because we need to move not to be enlightened by the Demon King '

"- Master Luon, there's another problem."

Sophia speaks out. I kind of had an imagination.

"I know what you're trying to say. You mean the kingdom of the Barks or something, right?

"Yes. If the southern invasion were to begin after the battle against the five great demons... what would happen to the demons who invaded the country, starting with the kingdom of Barks?

"For example, in the case of the Kingdom of Barks, it was just a case of liberation at the beginning of the southern invasion..."

Was this neighborhood convenient for the event flag, or even if left unattended, it was eventually treated like a recapture after the southern invasion. There are no penalties or anything in particular that I did not release. Gamely, as a result of the victory of the human side, the demons who were invading various countries may also feel like they have retreated - I give my view.

"If you leave it alone, there's no chance you'll be blackmailing the forces gathering in the south."

"But if you divide your power there, the battle in the south will certainly be a struggle."

While Sylvie calmly analyzed it, she referred to me further.

"Besides, isn't it going to be a bad situation for demons and other people working elsewhere?

"... I'm a user demon. I'm looking into King Canaan's trends to some extent, but deal with them faster than I expected. Because we saved the knights, I think we have more power than stories. If we keep this up, we'll have plenty of room even at the stage of destroying four of the five demons."

That's where I turn my neck to Sophia.

"Perhaps just in time… If you're going to Eina and the others, it would be best for Sophia to accompany you and engage you"

"You mean talk at this time?

"Oh. I can't deny the possibility that the Demons on the side of the kingdom of Barks will move... but it will be fine now that the King Canaan's movements are stabilizing around the king and some aspects are holding the Demons back"

"So, Luon. We attack them both at the same time, but what do we do about the power of the wise man at heart?

Silvi asks more questions. I was paying her back.

"As things stand, we sometimes have magic measures for demon kings, so the power of real sages translates into more beings that can counter demon kings. Sophia and Lady are the two people with the current power... given the strength of Fili and Eina, I'd like them to be a force of war, though -"

Worst of all, if there is one person in possession of the power of the wise man to produce the sword that unites the powers of the spirits, it is likely that we can do something about it. If that person is also Sophia, we don't need more people to gain the power of a wise man than this.

"Dear Luon,"

Here, Sophia raised her voice.

"I... think we should try to get as many people as possible to gain the power of the wise"

Her claim - I listen back to it.

"Is that, considering all sorts of things?

"Yes."

- Something unforeseen has happened so far. I can't believe Sophia herself can handle that. I will do everything in my power to avoid the future, but I need to consider all the possibilities.

"Okay. Then let's move in such a direction as to increase the number of holders of the power of the wise as possible"

That's what I said, and Sophia nodded deeply.
