Sword of the Philosopher

Beyond the barriers of the Divine Spirits, the first to clash was a herd of Lesser Demons.

The shade is copper. It is undoubtedly the best of its kind and a demon that emerges in the last dungeon. Is there a role as a soldier in this battle, and a lot more.

At first, there was some anxiety as to whether the knights could be accommodated... but by forming a group, the quality depended on it. The knights, who have repeatedly fought the battle and dived through the dead line of the Southern invasion, are quite skilled, letting them try against the copper-coloured Lesser Demon.

"Always in multiple! Calm down and intercept!

Lirisha is the one who's exhaling in it. Grab the spear. She's alone against the Lesser Demon.

Powerfully, I proved clearly that it was a level where I could challenge the Demon King... dragons, demon wolves, and even Richard's demons are setting up and fighting again - and in doing so I move too.

"Wind - destroy the enemy!

At the same time as the words I release the 'Rune Cyclone' directly in front of me. Countless blades of wind tear the demons apart, surely reducing their number.

"... it's not like we're here."

Silvi is the one who laughs bitterly. I don't know if Sophia agrees with you, but she's snorting a little.

"It feels more like quality than quantity, but I still don't know if it's possible for me to defeat all the demons outside the castle... there's going to be a trick somewhere to create demons, and which way to leave them to the knights and dragons -"

"Lord Luon, enter the castle as you maneuver."

says Elder Dragon. The dragons are throwing up braces from above and destroying their enemies.

The pace of destruction cannot be compared to that of the humans, but in addition to the fact that the Demon King's side also has durable demons, the number is not as low as you might think from the point of view of the intermittent demons being produced.

Now... should we break through as forcefully as this, or perish the demons often? The castle door is closed, so there must be a trick outside the castle to create demons. If we do something about it, we can take control of the perimeter of the castle...

When I think so, Gark sends me a report. That was an unexpected word.

"Lord Luon."

"What's up?

"It's a bad thing."

Gark talks about -- the bad things that the Spirit says --

'That's what King Canaan said. That a traitor could come up with something.'

"There's betrayal on the human side?

"Lord Luon will consider the possibility that the knights on this battlefield have betrayed him? But it's not. '

Then the hell - that's what I thought, the arrow tip, the Elder Dragon over there growled.

"Hey what...!?"

"Sounds like you sensed it."

Garc's voice... if...

"A traitor on the human side, even if he moves, has no effect on a large number of people. But if it's a spirit or a dragon, it's not a story."

"Wait... spirits or dragons!?"

Sophia and Fili, who were nearby for something, look here at the moment of the absurdity of their voices.

"Dear Luon, what's wrong!?"

"Explain it to me."

Gark's on my right shoulder.

"Not on this battlefield, but some of the spirits and dragons in the rear betrayed"

"Ha!?"

Silvi raised her bare voice.

"Wait a minute! Isn't that a bad idea!?"

'At present, it seems like a situation my countrymen are suppressing, but it is confusing. It's also spreading to troops on the human side, which is very bad'

You mean the rear forces are no longer making sense as an army?

I tell you bitterly.

When this happens, the demons on the outside of the barrier become troublesome. If that aim is a confusing rear army, not us, we are cut off from exit, and the rear is in distress.

How it should work...... Gark's explanation goes on while I think about it.

"Guess what, the Demon King may have found it difficult to flip large numbers even fighting from the front due to the presence of Lord Luon and others. So I planted magic like temporarily brainwashing spirits and dragons in the battle ahead... I assume it was activated during this showdown '

"… the biggest question is how far this battlefield will be affected"

Sophia says. So Garc nodded as well.

'There seems to be no traitor in this place, which is the front line... but it appears that several dragons from the rear will soon approach this battlefield'

"Is there any chance that anyone else who betrayed you will come?

'It's hard for anyone but dragons to rush here...'

- There are two options. Continue to forcibly break through and step into Demon King's Castle. Alternatively, retreat once to re-establish your posture.

There is just no guarantee that we will retreat and everything will be resolved. There may still be demon kings who have planted them, and they will be plotting measures to fight us directly. I'm going to give him more time.

"Lord Luon, go to the castle with the blood of the wise. Whether or not, I will accompany you."

Gark's words. So I see dragons approaching from the south.

"We'll deal with the dragons here. In addition, let us, the Spirit, suppress the battle and the confusion of the Spirits."

"Can you do that?

'It's just a story someone has to do. Besides, it's just not a good idea to leave the Spirit raging. It is painful to leave the battle against the Demon King to the Lord Luon. "

"Originally, I had a grudge to fight without the help of the Garcs."

I told Sophia when I regained my sword.

"Step straight into the castle like this...... Knight Balzard!

"Uhm."

He was engaged with demons nearby, and when he waved his sword one kick, he approached.

"Me and Sophia will continue into the castle."

"Okay. Take the sage's blood muscle face, too."

I turn my gaze. Starting in Fili. Alto and Radi and their people...... a situation where Oldia is at the rearmost and can act quickly.

Turn your eyes to Sophia. Near her are Eina and Silvi the escorts. Plus the kuuza and the arrete beside it...... enough for battle power.

"... Knight Balzard. Here, please."

"Oh. Don't worry about that. predicament, but let them overcome it."

I nod at his words - I tell Sophia.

"Ready?

"Anytime."

"Okay...... let's go!

With the order, I step forward and start destroying demons. At the same time, Fili and Eina move out, trying to surround Sofia and start intercepting demons coming from the side.

"Garc, do you think if we defeat the Demon King, the traitors will stop?

When asked while using magic, the answer came quickly.

"Betrayal, though, was brainwashed by the devil king's measures, something like that. Naturally, if the Demon King disappears, his magical effects will disappear."

"Okay. Then I'd like to make the shortest possible showdown."

How confused... I will call the user demon who will serve to explore the situation. What we're observing is where Canaan is.

He is currently in the fort where we were, but the situation is that spirits and dragons are attacking... although the movement on the human side is rational and the control is decent.

Most of all, that's not why I feel safe. Conversely, the Demon King's measures proved that even Canaan's place in the rear could be attacked… we must move a little faster in order to contain the damage as much as possible.

I'm in the rear. Glimpse of Sophia. Hurry up and act and you will consume that much health. I'm trying not to get out too far in preparation for the battle against the Demon King, but I'm also trying to fatigue you by acting suddenly.

"It's okay."

So, Sophia said, as if to read my mind.

"Anyway, go ahead...... everyone should have their thoughts together. Hurry as much as you can, and with all your spirits, we will take the Demon King."

Kuza nods, who was nearby. I responded with a small "ok" and went further.

The demons attack relentlessly... but I magically blow it all up and finally reach the front of my castle. As soon as possible, the gate leading into the castle opened.

Instead of inviting us... you're ready to take us down, or something like that?

I went into the castle silently. The demon that was in the castle was attacked shortly afterwards - and it was magically crushed all at once.
