Sword of the Philosopher

"Garc, what are you talking about?

When I asked, Gark turned his gaze to Sofia.

"The hand, rather than the Spirit, has only one advantage because his contract with the Spirit has been lifted."

Advantages…? What the hell is that?

"Princess Sophia, try activating 'Spirit World' once."

Our Sophia seemed puzzled by the demand... but eventually, she put her strength into it.

Then, the magic converged at once, and strong signs were felt from the sword.

"Oh, this is-"

"Again?"

Garc leaking his voice. Raifin raised his voice when he tried to ask what it meant.

"Convergence is faster than when we work together."

"That means if..."

"The cancellation of the contract brought the power of the wise man who had been suppressed to the surface."

Gark speaks.

'That's not the only thing that converges fast, regardless. It's a story that it's faster to converge only your own magic than to converge the powers of the spirits. "

That's what Garc said, looking to the Demon King.

"The power will drop, but apparently the moves themselves can be used... I guess this is the only way to go"

"Ok...... Sophia"

"Yes."

She responds immediately. I think this is unexpected for the Demon King... but still, the opponent was superfluous.

This situation is unplanned for the Demon King... of, it should be. But if you look beyond, were you considering the possibilities, or are there still any countermeasures?

A demon king whose measures activated and sealed Sophia's 'Spirit World'... but still no sign of set-up. Instead, there has been no movement since the release of 'Dark Nova' earlier, even though it carries things into favorable situations.

Instead, it still looks like there's plenty of room.

"If you're inviting me, I guess you can think about it"

When I spoke, I asked the Demon King.

"That's a long time."

'I don't mind a long fight. You're the ones who make things worse when time runs out. "

... knights fighting outside. And spirits and dragons of betrayal. Things outside will be getting worse for a moment while we're doing this.

Or are you waiting for something? If it is true that the knights outside are wiped out and the demon enters the scene, further confusion is imperative.

Then we have to hurry... but I'll ask Gark.

"There's still something going on, what do you think?

'... there may be some countermeasure to the move of pushing it forward and using it, beyond being most alert to the power of the wise'

Originally, moves and magic that harnessed the power of sage were event-only in games. In other words, Sophia's 'Spirit World' is something to be called an exception… maybe there are measures to be taken even if the move is activated.

"There is one possibility that comes to mind"

In it, says Gark.

"In this case, the power of Princess Sophia alone is difficult to confront. Lord Luon."

"Oh."

"If anything happens as I was supposed to happen, we need the power of Lord Luon and Les Bailes."

"Okay. Help as much as you can."

"Then Lord Luon will attack too."

When I snorted at Gark's words, the Demon King spoke.

"Is the operation meeting over?

"... Oh, Sophia"

"Yes, I will do whatever I can"

Take her word for it, and I'll give directions to Raifin.

"Raifin and the others, protect our people. Les Bailes makes defense easier than making an attack"

"Okay. Good luck, Sophia."

"Yes."

With that word Sophia puts her legs forward. But the Demon King doesn't move. It's just a set-up to fight it if this one comes up.

'... even if there were a measure, it would be a method of attack that wouldn't activate if it wasn't as close as it was earlier'

Gark tells the story further.

"The Devil King's measures also seem to be broken beyond Princess Sophia's convergence of powers...... but if the situation is as I think it is, it will not yet have defeated all of the measures"

I assure you, listening to Garc, I will go next to Sophia.

"Let's go... Sophia"

At the same time as the words, me and Sophia run again. The face with the power of the wise also moved.

The Demon King was silent and set up to intercept. There, as earlier, Oldia cuts in first.

Against the two swinging swords...... the Demon King responded with a sword trident enough to produce even a whirlwind.

Oldia took a blow, but couldn't flush it. I was not injured but I was forced to retreat greatly... there Eina turns her sword.

A temporal gap was created by the response to Oldia...... but the Demon King responds instantly to her movements. Quickly pulling back the Great Sword turned to counterattack.

She defended it again too... but gets bounced off. Here I looked to the Demon King.

That should also make it possible to use magic to keep us away from each other if we're serious. But what we don't do is obviously try to get us close... The aim is still Sophia.

Phili sees the Demon King's Sword Trident and slightly blunts his movements - in the meantime, I stepped into the Demon King's midst with Resbail.

"Leave."

One word. The Demon King fires a blow all over me. But I took the sword without moving. He was about to take his arm with him for a moment to the blow of the powerful Demon King - but now he turns to fight back.

Along with that, I understand that the Demon King is converging his magic powers on his left arm - is that the next trump card?

Push the sword back. The demon king wandered slightly, creating a gap.

Is that real or inviting - but Sophia doesn't mind stepping in. Unleash "Spirit World" to inflict a full blow -!

"Even if you peel off the spirits, will that be all the power"

The Demon King utters a voice that can also be regarded as admiration. With Sophia's blade looming, there's plenty of room.

For a moment, her sword entered the right shoulder of the Demon King. I didn't defend or dodge...... I couldn't, I took a blow on purpose.

"But ever."

With his voice, the Demon King unleashes the magic accumulated in his left arm. That power of whirlwind didn't show any direct harm to me, at least. However,

"Become...!?"

Sophia groans. At the same time, Garc's voice echoes in his head.

"Lord Luon, touch the sword held by Princess Sophia and put in your magic!

The instructions, I couldn't comprehend aggressively with my head but my body reacted. Instantly put a blade on Sophia's sword. There will be gaps, but Lesbail moves to follow.

And at the next moment, it comes through the sword… a situation in which the power of Sophia enters into the body of the Demon King.

No way... are you willing to take away the power of the wise man!?

"Considering the fact that I took in the magic of a wise man, it's also a lame story"

The Demon King spoke, as if to read this thought.

"I was supposed to seal the trump card and try to take away just an offensive move... but I didn't know I'd lose my Spirit and still be able to do so much. It could have been dangerous without the containment. But as a result, I was able to implement the measures I had in mind."

Calmly the Demon King spins his words - the Demon King's magic swirls as if he were trying to suck on me or Sophia. It doesn't affect me, but Sophia, who's supposed to be the dominant slayer, gives me a painful look.

There must be an option to pull the sword... but no, Sophia looked immobile. Yet a similar vortex of magic occurs around the barrier, keeping the rest of us out of sight.

"Lord Luon, maintain your magic."

Garc talks here.

"It manipulates my Resvail and uses the magic of Lord Luon to prevent the spill of Princess Sophia's magic."

... I guess it's the spirits created by the Spirit that can make it an artist.

"Now the magic of the Demon King and Princess Sophia swirls, unable to move... but if we put more magic into it than we do now, we can sever it without being deprived of our power"

"Okay -!"

Then there's one thing I can do… I poured out my magic.
