Sword of the Philosopher

I will travel with Sophia and Richard and Gark. I relied on information gathered by the Spirit to dive into the ruins, and sometimes crusade demons.

"-But it's a lot of deep ruins."

Sophia speaks out. As if you agree with that, Richard speaks.

"Not at all. But the goal may not be that far away."

The place is the corner of the mountain range north of the capital of the Kingdom of Barks. It's in the ruins of an angel that exists to be embedded in the mountains, not underground. It has now been roughly two months since the battle against the Demon King.

Sometimes the ruins were on the mountains, or they remained untouched without people coming. The ruins themselves could be discovered under the influence of the demon king's invasion, which is why we are infiltrating - but there are demons, so the search is troublesome.

But if Sophia and I are capable of defeating the Demon King, it will not be a major obstacle.

It's just that it's dangerous to let Richard fight alone, so I'm putting Resbail on the escort. This is making things go smoothly without injury.

Walk in the ruins of stone while illuminating the surroundings by the lights I have created - and here I ask Garc.

"Hey Garc. As for the incredible magic that exists inside this ruin, how about it?

In response to the question, Gark answers as he appears on my right shoulder.

'There is an incredible magic, even if it is not underground. If we do well, we might be able to investigate it quite a bit.'

"Well... I can't help but be in a hurry... the ruins are still there. We'll just have to do a little research."

I discovered the demon while commenting so. But if it hangs in our hands, it's instantaneous.

- This is the fourth time I've ever dived into a ruin. It strikes a place where incredible magic exists, but it seems that there is a difference in its quality, and we are still in the process of analyzing it.

As for the moving surface, some dragons were created by Richard, and there is no basic trouble. Besides, the investigation itself is relatively slow because it doesn't mean anything will happen tomorrow.

And the situation on the continent, for now, is calm. Sometimes it seems like it could be a spark, but the efforts of the divine spirits and Canaans make it possible to deal with it.

"The situation in the continent is good, but this time you might want to pay attention to the outside"

Gark talks to the lid... outside, right?

"The Demon King is also from the outside. In some places, there are stories of war, etc. I don't expect those firepowders to fly this far. '

"Well, yeah...... I want to find out about the Demon King, so I might need to go outside once the investigation is complete"

That's what I'm saying. Keep going. I have a fight against demons, but I'm pretty sure I can afford it compared to a fight against demons... well I have to be alert to traps or something, so I won't be alarmed.

dusty hallways. We keep going...... Eventually,

"Oh, is it the deepest?

Richard speaks to the lid. If you look, there's one big iron door directly in front of you.

"Be careful, there may be powerful demons out there"

And, as I said, Sophia and I can handle it... after we make sure there's no trap, we open the door.

Normally, there is a bossy demon in the deepest part... but in this ruin, it didn't exist.

"Is that it?"

"Hmm, there's nothing like a chest in the back."

Gark says. Sophia and Richard also look inside and stop.

I'll be observing again. There's nothing indoors, but there's only one difference.

That's the floor. The ruins are made of stone and the floors are the same... only near the center of this room is different. White and circular floors are present. Doesn't look like I made it by cutting out stones and stuff.

"You care about the floor"

Sophia says. I'll go inside while I agree in my heart.

"You don't seem like a trap..."

"Hmm, I see you blushing."

Gark says.

'Perhaps, but this special floor serves as a transfer device'

"A transfer device?

Speaking out in surprise, Gark looked to the floor and said.

"Incredible magic is out of here... apparently a transfer device that uses it"

"You can do that too... if you step on this floor, you're not talking about activating it, are you?

'There won't be anything like something just stepping on it. If you don't use magic, you'll be fine.'

Is that true? I tried it on, but nothing happens.

"That's an unusual material."

Sophia also stands on the white floor again and touches it with her hands. In the same way, it was smooth to the touch.

"I wonder where you got these materials"

Richard says. In contrast, I opened my mouth.

"Maybe it's something we've seen. It's just processed and it doesn't look that way anymore."

"Oh I see. Is that what you think?"

Convinced Richard walks in the floor. When Resbail followed it and stepped onto the floor - there was a change.

All of a sudden, the floor glowed.

"To?"

"What!?"

This seems to have been unexpected for Garc as well... the next moment I thought something was going on, the light wraps us all up at once.

I gave instructions to Les Bailes - my vision wobbled for a moment immediately after the barrier formed to protect us.

"Huh...!?"

After a short groan, the light goes out. The indoors that have moved into sight have not changed - I think.

Barriers are lifted. I'll take a look around.

"Kind of, isn't it dusty more than earlier?

Sophia says...... if you ask me.

"Hey Garc. Could this possibly have triggered metastatic magic?

"I guess you reacted to Les Bailes' magic."

Seriously... should we be careful next time?

"In the meantime, go back"

That's what I said...... once out of the floor and stepping in again doesn't work. Same even if Resbail emits magic.

Whoa. What are we gonna do with this?

"Incredible magic is a lot smaller than in earlier places. Maybe it won't activate on this side '

Garc who says ominous things if he does. Then there's the thing to do...

"Looks like we're gonna have to go outside."

"Right."

"Mr. Luon, isn't there even a demon?

Oh, do I have to clean again... while I hold my head I open the door. But...

"... you're not here"

"Rather, you have little magic."

This is Gark's statement.

"It's as if someone took it away"

"What do you mean... well no. After all the verification. Anyway, we need to get out there."

Walk out. I don't like the sound of my shoes, and if there's a demon, it's not weird to come close... but I don't show up at all. Is it related to the fact that there is little magic?

"Richard, speaking of which, what happened to the demons in service? When you transfer, you don't get orders, do you?

"Oh, then don't worry. For a certain period of time, if my instructions have not come, I have given instructions to return to my address."

"That's okay...... but when this happens, it's a bad way to travel. Me and Sophia have mobility magic but... Richard, you want to ride on Lesbail's back too?

To the suggestion, Richard smiles bitterly.

"No, no, that's just it... in some cases you can leave it behind"

"Can we produce demons in the same way?

"I can, but you need time. And some demon stones."

"Yeah, I'll get it out."

Stay on the pretend and I'll try to pull the container from the base. However,

"... that?

I'm not coming out. The magic is working properly.

'... I can think of a number of factors as to why it doesn't appear, but I have to go outside and check things out first'

"Right."

I agree with Gark's words, and I'm fast paced. I have a bad feeling about this.

I kept going through the ruins with Sophia and the others... and eventually I went out to a place that looked like an entrance. But...

"You're blocked."

Richard says. The rock collapses and I can't get through.

"I'm just talking about destroying it."

"Mr. Luon, are you okay?

"Resbail, put up a magic barrier on Richard and Sophia,"

Resvail moving as directed.

"Now, wait a while until you open the entrance."

That's what I told the two of them, and I started work.
