Sword of the Philosopher

Changes in signs caused by Sophia and I approaching each other... it's like we've been waiting, but I'm just saying. You want me to pull this one in and take down Sophia?

"Let it!

I'm like covering Sophia. Meanwhile, the demon king wielded his left hand, which had no great sword, and emitted magic.

I take that directly from the front... not attack magic. Only the feeling of magic passing through...

For a moment, the magic that Sophia was converging on, I could play.

"Become...!?"

Stunning voice. But not knowing who it was coming from, I screamed.

"Retreat once!

Fellows retreating with their voices. The Demon King tried to chase it, but I activated the Durandal and unleashed the slaughter.

The sword clashed between me and the Demon King. I didn't get to push back, but I was able to buy enough time to retreat my people.

I'll pull back again and distance myself from the Demon King. Get an idea of the situation first. I don't know what they did.

"... that's what you mean"

Gark says. Seeing it, I could see the anomaly at a glance.

"This is..."

Raifin was appearing...... no, that's not all. All the spirits who had made the covenant with Sophia were on the table.

"Can that move converge without the power of the Spirit?

The Demon King speaks.

'Rather than say that it is with the power of the Spirit that we will show our strength? The power of the wise and the power of the Spirit… the two together become one move. If one of you lacks it, it will be harder to exert your power'

A demon king who speaks softly. Many of my buddies don't understand what the situation is and look confused.

But I understood. Oh, well...

"... Did that white knight use it to analyze Sophia's power?

I ask the Demon King. I wasn't expecting an answer.

"That's what I'm talking about."

"But I didn't expect to use such a roundabout means..."

"I'm just saying I needed it to win."

The demon king who talks about it goes on sarcastically to me somewhere.

'It's not that hard to talk about. I could have expected to gain more power than just burying me than assembling up to the Divine Spirit. So if you don't avoid that blow, it's hard to win... until you've come to that conclusion. In fact, the princess had the trump card. So my prediction was correct. "

- In the game, the Demon King did not have the ability to do this to the Spirit. But the Reality Demon King applied countermeasures. That's probably because of the swelling up of beings that can start with the gods and call them threats.

"Though, morale would have gone down there, but it's not the end of it"

The Demon King speaks further.

"Many of the faces that are here... the blood muscles of the wise men who have regained their power from my subordination still have the power to destroy me... The princess would have been reduced by her magic too, but the power to destroy me is combined. But '

Immediately after that word, the power of the Demon King suddenly swelled. It's like reinforcing your powers.

"... did you even have a method to amplify your powers"

Gark speaks. I said earlier that the powers of the Demon King have not changed. But did you hide it to the point of inviting me?

"Handstanding is something to be prepared in triplicate."

Where the hell did this magic come from - the power felt here was present in the ruins of the angels examined with the Divine Spirits, an incredible magic. It should have been difficult to suck magic out of the ground due to the barriers of the Divine Spirits... but in this case, does that mean you've been storing magic for a long time?

That's less fortified than when you used the magic of continental collapse, but still...

"There is no earliest way to bury me in one blow. Let's admit everyone on this scene is a man of strength. But not everyone of them can pin me down with one or two attacks. Also, even if there were someone who would have prevented all my attacks, there would be limits to the method. This one has as many ways as it takes'

"... in exchange for some damage, you mean crushing every sage power holder"

The Demon King laughs at my words. Sounds like the right answer. Demon King who was moving according to the program in the game, but can now move at his own discretion. If so, we can think of who to attack first.

"What the hell is this?"

Raise your voice in a way that Fili is bewildered. So finally, Sophia spoke up.

"... a covenant with the Spirit"

"Contract?"

"The contract has been forcibly terminated"

Ghogging Fili - Yes, the measures set up by the Demon King didn't directly target me or Sophia. He exercised the magic of contract cancellation to erase the role of the spirits needed to build our trump card, Spirit World.

This was an unexpected attack for me, too. Nor has such magic appeared on the game. Techniques created because of the appearance of a threat to me or the divine spirit.

Of course I considered the possibility of setting a goal for Sofia, and I was on guard. But the Demon King was after the Spirit.

"So, what do we do?

Shortly after the demon king raised his voice, he raised his great sword. This is...

"Resbail!"

I uttered my voice and spawned the Spirit to confront the Demon King.

For a moment, the Demon King's sword is swung down vertically - the name of the move is' Dark Nova '. The moment the sword touches the ground, the black shock wave strikes like a tsunami.

As I thought, black shockwaves are coming all at once. My buddies tried to move to deal with it... but before that, Resbail put a sword up on the ground.

Immediately afterwards, a thin blue barrier forms to protect us. The ability of the defense system planted from the Garc… I first had to pay attention to the safety of my companions in the battle against the Demon King, so I let him master it, but it worked.

"Hmm, are you still taking action?"

The moment black and blue tried to clash, a voice came from the demon king. Shortly afterwards, a tall noise emerges as if iron had clashed with each other, with black raging on the outside of the barrier.

They weren't like mimics, but they were like a serpent trying to get to us.

"Keep the barrier."

I give instructions to Lesbail, then I turn my face to Sophia in the rear.

"What do we do?

"... the move presupposes working with the spirits"

With a hard look she speaks.

"You definitely need a contract to activate it in complete condition..."

"Is it difficult in a state of disarming?

Sylvie asks. The answer came from Raifin.

"It's not exactly the same as the state you're under contract for. You can't work with the magic that exists in humans from the outside in the first place..."

"You know more about magic than you were under contract, don't you?

"It's done, but it's still tough. Since a contract means eliminating obstacles around it…"

Silvi finally pushes silence, too. At least you're saying it's just as difficult to exercise your powers as it was when you were under contract?

"… but the meaning of the contract has not been completely lost"

Here's what Raefin says.

"There is little magic left of us in Princess Sophia. So it's theoretically possible to use moves and magic the same way you did when you were under contract."

"... theoretically?

When I ask back, Raefin says with a hard face.

"Yes, I need training because the magic flow is different from when I was under contract"

Naturally, there's no time for that... then there's another way - when I try to figure it out,

"No, I still have my hands"

The statement came from Gark.
