Sword of the Philosopher
The creation of the Spirit
"The creation of the Spirit begins by instilling magic in the artifact"
Gark's commentary that started with that kind of wording. I send my gaze to the artifact I received as I heard the explanation.
It's blue stained, like a leather bracelet. It's like using strings to wrap them around, and I feel like this would be good for feet or something.
"So, I wrap that artifact around somewhere in my body, but I guess I'd rather be somewhere where I'm conscious and emitting magic from time to time. It's easier to accumulate magic."
I took Gark's word for it, and I wrapped it around my left arm.
"Okay, you made it."
Garc in a boy says. Here I put a scratch in it.
"Maybe you'll stay that way forever?
"Oh. It's okay because he hasn't found out it's Garc, okay? I think it's a spiritual use."
... Well, is there anyone who thinks the boy in front of you is a god spirit? I don't blame you, though.
"So, you just have to converge your magic powers, huh?
"Oh. Gather magic for the place you wind up"
They tell me, I'll do it. I just thought if we converged magic all at once, it would break... well thought out, it's an angel artifact, and is human magic acceptable?
Little by little the magic starts to build up in the artifact...... and after some time passed the garc went into a stop.
"That's fine now. Yeah, from what I've seen, there's no magic leak. It doesn't even seem to expose itself to the Demons."
"I don't know if I can find out anymore than I'm going to fight."
"Look, you should let us stay alert without revealing magic until it's critical, right? Now, from here we enter the creation of the Spirit"
"Oh."
"Take out the prototype of the Spirit that you took into your body, remembering what the Spirit looked like in your image"
They say, I close my eyes. The prototype of the Spirit is probably the light that the spirits have converged their magic.
I haven't pulled one out since then... but I showed up light when I instructed him to come out in my head.
"Success. Next, pour magic accumulated in the artifact while maintaining the image"
Copy that.
Bring your left arm to the light and let the magic flow as you are told. I use my nerves quite a bit.
"Maintain the situation and slowly instill magic. If you succeed, the spirits you imagine will show up"
I repeat the image even more. Spirit in armor, with angelic wings...
When I imagined that far, the light began to swell. Oh, that's kind of a sign it's going to take shape.
"... ah"
That's when Garc suddenly raised his voice. It's kind of an unpleasant feeling.
"Hey, what's up?
"No, I want to ask you one thing, how big is it?
"What?"
"So it's the size of the spirits you produce."
I was told, I thought about how big the angel I imagined,
"You're bigger than me. I've been around for more than a while."
"When a spirit of that size is created here instantaneously, don't explode"
"Ha!?"
Hey, tell me first - before I finish, the indoors were wrapped in light, and Gark was right, it exploded.
The roar on my ears and the shock I can feel on my body. I can speculate that my body is blowing up, but the impact makes me in a situation where I don't know up or down.
I made up a magic barrier so there's no damage, but when I calmly analyzed that feeling is lost when I'm in the vortex of an explosion... etc., there's an impact on my back. No pain, though. Probably knocked through the door.
Jump straight out into the hallway and fall into the floor. I stumbled upon a knight nearby looking at me.
"... be the first to say it"
I zeroed my words as I looked at the ceiling... eventually I heard a familiar voice.
"- Hey, what's going on!?"
It's Alto. I'm slowly getting my upper body up, and I'm rushing over to give him my gaze... Ah, Sophia and the others are coming from the rear.
"Le, Master Luon!? How did it go?
"Are you the enemy?!?"
Eina putting up a sword next to it. I heard the explosion and the other knights are closing in... it has become a commotion.
"Uh, uh"
In which I speak out somehow. I still don't have any scratches as a result of the explosion, but my head is a little cranky. That's it. I guess it's because the flash burst up close, not shock.
"No, I was doing a little demon generation experiment."
The creation of the Spirit, etc. would be troublesome, so when I mentioned it, Eina gave me a surprise look.
"This is what happens in experiments that produce demons of use?
"No, well, I put too much magic into it."
And here I move my gaze into the room. The door was destroyed, so we could take a peek inside, but there's no Garc anymore. And...
"Experiments are a success for now."
Stand up whining. Inside the room were spirits of full-body armor with angel feathers, more than two metres tall.
Angel, should I say Heavy Knight rather than. When the knights and Sophia sent their gaze to it, they seemed surprised by the size of the figure.
"I'll be careful in the future. Oh, because I'll clean up the room properly, too. The door... has to be fixed."
The knights looked at each other in my words - Eina opened her mouth.
"Be careful in the future"
Instructions are then given to the knights who rushed, and she disperses the scene. Alto also walked away. Sofia stayed at the end,
"... Spirit, is it"
"Oh, this is the result of the magic that's gaining momentum."
Me laughing. Nevertheless, that's it.
"We're going to start analyzing magic and giving it a lot of power."
"Really... Dear Luon"
"Hmm?"
"Just don't do it."
A provocative voice. And I snort back.
"Of course."
"... then I'll be back too"
Sophia walks away. I'm the only one left, and I wonder what's wrong.
- You've done more damage than I thought.
Garc's voice. I stand beside the Spirit at some point.
"For once, the Spirit was able to produce. Let's try to be good."
"... tell me first"
"I was losing it. Sorry, sorry."
I have no color for reflection at all... well I can't help what I've done, so let's move on.
"So, I succeeded in producing the Spirit, but what do we do now?
"I have to let the Spirit study a lot, but it's also through magic again. Don't worry, I'll teach you how to do it properly. Oh, and make up your name."
"Okay."
... In the meantime, it looks like plain work awaits us from here.
"Garc, if the demons make a move on the way, I'll go that way."
"I know. Well, then, now..."
"No, wait. Exactly. There's nothing in the room today because it's impotent. We need to clean up."
More extra work...... while suppressing the urge to zero in stupidity, I went into a room with no doors.
- That's how the battle finally draws near while we make a trial and error against the Spirit. Move your troops south to counter the Demon King's army that Canaan invades from the south. The demons were not strange to ravage the land on all sides, but they are pushing north with no sides.
In addition, the demons gathered in the northern part of the continent have been prevented from marching by the dragons. In the east, moreover, countries that have not been invaded by demons, starting with the Kingdom of Nateria, are keeping an eye on surveillance. If it were to come, it would still be the western armies of the continent.
"So, that's apparently working, too"
Sheldat, the demon tribe that is taking control of the kingdom of the Barks, is moving. Apparently, he's the commander-in-chief.
"That's a total battle... are you trying to turn the Devil's side upside down again?"
From Richard's story, it is likely that the defeat of the human side in this southern battle will enter the continental collapse route - a total force battle on the part of the Demons, but also on the human side.
But I don't think the situation is any worse than when Richard overlapped the perimeter. There's plenty of power on the human side.
At that time, a report comes in from the user demon - it was something different from the scenario, just as Sheldat moved it out.
