Sword of the Philosopher

The next day, start with the verification of 'Spirit World' as soon as possible. As a result,

"... about this technique, you certainly do it differently. The power of the wise is on the table."

Raefin says. Hmm, looks like it was a hit.

"Then let's use this as a basis for verification."

Garc on my shoulder overlaps words, and Sophia starts a trial and error. Gark raised his voice as he watched as he talked with Raifin that it wasn't, uh, not this one.

"Lord Luon, so far the Demon King has not moved"

"That's good"

'... this is a simple question, what measures do you think the Demon King will strike at?

"Isn't that what Garc predicts himself?

I'd like to hear Lord Luon's opinion.

I don't have an opinion...... well, nothing I haven't thought about.

"We're only talking about possibilities, but the Demon King is trying to exploit the incredible power that Gark also said."

"... well, that magic that existed in the ruins of angels"

"That's right. No, more than that."

I say to Gark, slightly in between.

"I also believe that the purpose of the Demon King could be that magic power itself…"

'Do you have a basis?

"No, unfortunately. I just have a feeling about that."

Gark answers nothing. Normally, I don't think it would be strange to get your neck tilted if you made these unfounded assumptions, but that's not true either.

Instead, from the knowledge of the games I have, Garc probably thinks this guess is not wrong either... etc.

"Assuming that is the case, what action will the Demon King take?"

"Hmm, right... to strengthen the power of the wise... but even the demon king after activating the magic of continental collapse in the story, because the sage's blood muscle attacks were working..."

Or would it be a different way to combine it with the power of a wise man?

'Though, you seem to need to consider the various possibilities'

"Right."

Sophia's magic swells. When Raefin instructed it to be contained,

'... you said the purpose of the Demon King was to gain magic?

Words from Garc again.

'Assuming that's the case, why try to ravage this continent?

"About that... I don't even know. It wasn't even told in the story."

"If it's a story, I don't think it would be strange if details such as the purpose of the Demon King were portrayed."

"Sure, but in this case, things are a little different."

"Things?"

"I think the purpose of the Demon King itself is to create a line... of sequels"

I answer with my head on.

Gark told me to reconsider, but the purpose of the Demon King… itself, is missing in the story.

It would be hard to imagine that the producers of the game, for example, had lost sight of the purpose of the culprits striking the continent, so this would mean that they did not speak intentionally. Now that it's a reality, for whatever purpose, it's no different than attacking the continent, so it was the part where I left it half alone.

"Volatile Line, Ka"

Garc narrows his eyes slightly and squeaks.

'In the first place, I don't even know where the Demon King came from. The situation... does that have anything to do with the area?

"You have to look into all this to find out. Even so, how far can we investigate with our hands..."

That's when Sophia's magic gets stronger. Sending her gaze, she was swirling magic around her.

"There's also a mix of sage powers... Hmm, that's what you mean"

"What's up?

When asked, Sophia's magic subsides. Raifin spoke out here.

"Master Garc, apparently this is..."

"Uhm, sounds like it"

The arrow tip I thought you could explain, Gark raised his voice.

"The power of the wise man itself is on the table enough. I think it's enough to confront the Demon King."

"But you have a problem?

'It's not like that. Princess Sophia just found herself in a situation where it was somewhat difficult to give the power of a wise man because she was under contract with the Spirit'.

To Garc's words, Sophia's expression clouded.

"Not good, is it?

"There's nothing wrong with the power of a wise man because he can put it to the surface. It's just that a little bit of Princess Sophia should be trained to draw her strength with care."

"I see... by the way, how do we prioritize the power of the wise?

"You just have to cancel your contract with the spirits."

Exactly that... Sophia also shakes her head about Garc's allegations.

"My power is with the spirits."

'Um... Whatever, I know how to do it. A day and a little bit left, but let's just say we do it where we can.'

"Yes."

Sophia replied forcefully. I approached her to help again.

- That's how the third day comes. Corona calls me around noon, and me and Sophia go under the tree. Fili was already waiting.

"Good luck"

"Tired, Fili...... Corona, what's his accomplishment?

"As for the technique of using the power of the Spirit, it feels somewhat acquired. I don't know if it's enough to fight the Demon King. So, what about you?

"In the moves she possessed, there was something that put the power of the Spirit and the power of the wise man on the table. Starting with that validation… we can now use our strength enough"

"Then let me show you."

To Corona's words, Sophia comes forward. Gark appeared on my shoulder to watch, and she pulled out her sword.

"I'll go."

"Go ahead."

Sophia speaking and speaking - shortly after, Corona opened her eyes wide.

"Heh... the power of the Spirit is also on the surface, but I wonder if the intensity of the power of the wise man is nearly the same as that of Mr. Fili"

Can I say this is highly regarded? Silence makes Corona even more vocal.

"Hmm, this is a very confusing place."

'Can I assume you're antagonizing me?

Garc's question. Corona nodded quickly,

"It's just, yeah. If I saw it in terms of the power of the Spirit, would Mr. Sophia be better?"

Here Sophia and Fili exchange their gazes. Results -

"... I think the power should be a little greater"

Fili said. The words led to a conclusion as to what to do. However,

"If I left the front, what would you do?

Sophia asks. I'm gonna do everything I can to protect you.

I'll take care of it then.

Corona speaks up.

"Because it only creates based on Mr. Sophia's power, it becomes exclusive to those who possess the power of the wise... but I can adjust it so that the user can handle it by staying in the sword. Well, that's only an emergency, so I'd like Sophia to take the Demon King directly."

"Okay."

- I have one question for you, too.

Here I put my hand up.

"It's the sword I created... what are we going to do after the battle? The spirits manage it?

If it is a sword adjusted to the power of Sophia, it may not be a problem to leave it...

"Well, if you think about the rest of the world, you should make the most of it."

Corona says. Making the most of it?

"If we keep it sealed in the Holy Tree, we can change the nature of the sword one by one, though very slowly. In the event of a future crisis on the continent... it might be a good idea to make a new sword so we can fight the mighty enemy."

Well, then... maybe it's better than giving it to the human side. Besides, if the Spirit of the Holy Tree were to manage it, the human side would be convinced as well.

That sounds like a lot of questions.

Corona speaks further.

"Well, let's get into creating the material… Sophia, we need your help."
