Sword of the Philosopher
Reunion with the protagonist
Oldia was observing the army in the bushes, taking care not to be found by demons. I managed to move closer to him. He's the one who noticed my magic before, keeping the magic of hiding the signs. And this time...
It's you again.
Oldia squeaks.
Speaking of which, you didn't even introduce yourself before.
"Ah, if you ask me..."
Here I am named, and Oldia replied - I know this one.
Then Oldia asks me.
"It feels like you found out about me and came here... isn't it a coincidence that you ran into me before?
"... well, there are a lot of things going on, but I need you to talk to me later"
Move aside while you keep your magic, and I'll open my mouth.
"What's the purpose of coming here?
"To destroy a certain demon tribe. It can produce weapons that can be used by its own people... but its abilities aren't as active as they would have been if it had counted from below within the Demon clan... except for someone who is prone to analyze dragon-like magic"
"I knew it."
"... what?
"I'm moving to take him down. But there was nothing I could do about it."
"I mean, you came to me to help defeat me?
"Correct."
Oldia turns her neck where I am. There will be as many doubts as there are when I get here - I just don't think I have time to talk long enough for him, or I'll turn my gaze back on the enemy army again.
"Fine... I'd rather have more allies"
"Oh."
From there, Oldia begins to look for the Devil Clan.
I know it's hard to confirm with your eyes from within the army... but no, wouldn't it be so hard if you had perceived signs through your eyes?
"... the Demon King seems to be moving again"
Oldia opens her mouth to the lid.
"The demons who were in the castle are also moving. You'd better run from the north, if you can."
"You're not running away?
"... I've left something to do"
Are you going to challenge the Demon King alone? If that's the case, I think it's pretty reckless.
This reminds me of the game setup. The Five Demons instill their magic in their castle and activate the magic that will cause the Demon King to crumble the continent. The measure is only well known to high-ranking executives. Maybe the Demon King himself was wary of leaking information.
Nor does Oldia know that information, and when he first destroys the Five Demons in his castle, he will know why for the first time - that is, he does not possess such information because he has not defeated the Five Demons now. If so,
"Are you going to defeat the demons who were in the castle and reduce the burden on the human side at all"
Oldia's shoulder reacted slightly to my mention.
His two long swords. One of them is a sword powerful enough to bury an executive Demon tribe in one blow. However, the effect can only be used once, and henceforth it will be just a sword.
If Oldia is the protagonist, there is little point in the story because she will use that power in the event. If each of the five protagonists destroys the five great demons, their power is exerted.
In the game, after the southern invasion, the remaining five demons move out with the Demon King. The protagonists intercept, but an event occurs in which Oldia uses the power of the sword to defeat the last five remaining demons and gain the power of the wise….
As it stands, any slight discrepancy in the story follows any course. Perhaps Oldia is willing to fight because she doesn't use the power of the sword either.
"But if you try alone, the demon king will kill you."
"I know."
"Are you dying?
"I'm sorry, but risking your life isn't the way to do it. That's why we're moving this way to increase our survival a little bit."
... Oh, I see. Do you use the dragons?
That's why Oldia is moving to take on a demon clan that will take care of dragons in this way.
"... you know what?"
I breathe small and then I move my gaze to Oldia.
"Okay... I'll tell you what I'm gonna do after the fight."
"What?"
Oldia tried to listen back - but suddenly, she narrowed her eyes and stared at a point in the army.
"There he is."
"Is that true?
"Oh. Definitely. If we can destroy him, the weapons generated by our abilities will collapse naturally."
Oh, that's good news. If...
"Garc."
'Um, I'm telling you the story. Do it right.'
Whispered I had a conversation with Garc - nodded quietly.
Oldia pulls out her sword. I tried to speak up, but he started talking first.
"I'll take the lead. You need backup."
"No, leave it to me."
I say to block it. And Oldia has a surprise look.
"Leave it to me?"
"Even so, you don't have time to explain... where is that demon tribe?
Oldia grabs her finger. of the army in line, near the center.
"Protected by durable demons and barriers. Breakthroughs will be pretty tough"
"I see. So the Demons are aware that it is necessary to fight the dragons."
This one also pulls out the sword and enters a combat posture.
"I can always go."
"Then match my timing."
I snort at Oldia's words... he gets his breath done.
I'll start the chant. Be careful not to be distracted by demons.
And
"- Let's go!
Oldia runs with her voice. At about the same time, I ran again and attacked the demon.
The demons lagged behind in their reaction - Oldia would have blown the enemy with a two-wielded sword and forcefully broke through. However,
"- Ice cubes!
I triggered the magic first. The Ice Attribute Advanced Magic, Queen of Blizzards, explodes countless ice blades. Erase the demons at once.
The roar sounds and the march is greatly disrupted. You can't miss this timing.
"Hey, where are the demons!
I speak up to Oldia. The other guy was surprised by my magic, but he kept his eyes a little rounded.
"Keep it straight! That's the guy who keeps the barrier!
I listened to him and went into it all at once. Oldia follows, and the demons arrive.
But continue with the ice blade. Apply it somewhat and adjust it to diffuse the blade around me and Oldia. As a result, the demons disappear again.
"Resbail!"
Call the Spirit even more. In a moment, the great sword blew away the demons that were trying to get closer.
"Defeat the demons around you!
Shortly after I give that instruction - I capture the demons that make up the barrier. Seeing this one, I perceived the purpose, or immediately gave instructions to the surrounding demons, who tried to escape.
In a moment, there's a dragon roar from the sky. At Gark's behest, the dragons came.
"So you just need to keep up the momentum and defeat that demon tribe...!
At the same time as I speak, I am approaching the demon clan trying to escape with physical strengthening on my feet. He looked panicked, but I can't handle it. The demon of the escort - the inflexible demon stood in the way to hold me back - this one produced 'Durandal'.
The devil intercepts. I swung the sword of light to the side and flashed.
The slaughter flatly doubled the demons - as did the barriers that were configured to protect the demons even more. The demon clan of purpose also touches the blade, and its presence becomes dust.
"All right......!
As he raises his voice, the demons that were around him attack him. I quickly started chanting, squeezing my sword - with the dragons in the air, and started a riot.
