Sword of the Philosopher

- Finish discussing with Exon for one second, and me, Sophia, and Richard start the operation meeting again in my room.

"Dear Luon, he said it would work in a possible way..."

"Oh. I think I'll get Sophia to work too"

"What about the candidates for emperor?

"If it's going to happen, I want them to move too... because Mr. Abel needs to focus on the organization, and yet the Marquis will think a lot about it"

Nodding Sophia. And here Richard opened his mouth.

"Mr. Luon, on the magic of turning back time..."

"You're telling me you don't have the materials to look into it, right? I have an idea about that."

"My turn."

Garc appears on the right shoulder.

"At present, I am not connected to the body and consciousness. But if we return to the continent, our memories will be transferred to nature and to the main body."

"I see, you turn to the spirits for help."

"The Garcs would be happy to work with you. Besides, if you contact Rayfin or something, you'll be able to get in touch with Kuza or the academia."

"Nevertheless, Mr Luon, the problem is the means of movement…"

'I have a plan for that. Lord Richard, use the Dragon Demon Stone to create the Monster. "

"You mean we can deliver it to the continent?

'Exactly. And I don't use all my magic in Lord Luon. With less magic, it takes the form of producing identities and moving them to the continent.'

"The demon will be bird-shaped... but on its back?

I thought it was a smiling sight to imagine... but Garc shook his neck left and right.

"It will be in the demon of use. Allow me to operate if I have to.

"Okay. What's due?"

"You'd better hurry."

"Then let's use some of the magic of the Fei Long that we have created. I can do it tomorrow."

'I don't think it's a problem, but give me some room for magic. For the convenience of my magic, I can only use this hand once.'

"Are the spirits coming to this continent?

Sophia's Question. Gark narrows his eyes and answers.

'If you can afford it in time, you'll have the thought that somehow... It's just magic from the Demons that we look into. I don't know how long it will take because of the information I don't have in my knowledge. You better act on the premise that you're not coming'

"The question is, how much time do you need?"

All eyes gather on my words.

"As Richard asks us to examine the materials that are within this continent... is there a limit to looking into them?

"You have people."

"You consult with the Marquis and Abel around there...... so, the deadline in question, but we start to prepare countermeasures from the stage where the investigation is completed...... we only have a two month deadline at the longest. As soon as possible...... I just want to come to a conclusion in a month or so"

"It's hard, but we have to do it."

Gark says. Sofia strongly agrees, too,

"Let's do our best to break Nehmeisa's ambitions"

"Oh. So, we're working with the Marquis and… preparing to defeat Nehmeisa's measures"

"What exactly are we going to do?

Richard asks the question. I'll leave you alone for a little while... and I'll talk.

"To be honest, I still haven't thought of the hand of defeating Nehmeisa for sure. Rather, there is too little information at the moment. The biggest concern is how far Nehmeisa has come to think about this battle."

"What do you mean?

I answer Sophia's question with my hands on my forehead.

"It is certain that Nehmeisa is rolling back time. I think they recognize that we exist more than they produce artificial dragons. I'm just uncomfortable with one thing. I'm moving to leave the demon in the Imperial City to capture the situation in the court, but my security is tightening."

"Weren't you recognized by the fact that you brought that child, Lord Luon, within the Empire City?

Sophia's words. If you think about it normally, yes.

"Yeah, I think it's natural to think that way in the circumstances... I had one guess"

"What's that?

"Nehmeisa dared to give me information and bring Romilda and Yuska here."

'Cause from him, we're in a bad situation, right?

Gark says. While I agree with that, mention it.

"For example... Right, Sophia"

"Yes."

"Assuming I can turn the clock around... in my battle with the Demon King, my dear companion has been hit. Sophia rewound her time to help her companion and rematched with the Demon King. In this case, how does it work?

"If you make the same move, do you get the same result?

"It will."

"Then I'll move to avoid it"

"So what if another fellow gets hit as a result of doing it?

"… repeat until all survive, is it?"

"If space-time magic can be used unconditionally, you will"

I sigh... keep talking.

"From the looks of Nehmeisa, I rewind quite a few times. That's all I'm repeating despite my diminishing magic... let's think I'm compensating for my magic with something. Anyway, there's no doubt that Nehmeisa's repeated triad errors many times, creating a convenient path."

'I mean, here's what you're trying to say, huh?

Gark states as he staggers his gaze with me.

"Losing a girl named Romilda or Lord Yuska... that's the way for Nehmeisa to lead the fight to victory"

"If we hadn't stumbled upon Romilda, we might have acted a lot within the lab. Even if it wasn't a sabotage, I didn't think it would be zero chance that Nehmeisa would have moved me to prevent that from happening."

- There were novels and games in previous life that also had a time-leap. There were many settings that if you behave the same, you repeat the same thing, but now Nehmeisa is just that. How many measures are there against me...

'Though, it'll be hard to get information from them'

Gark says. I agree with that, too.

"I don't know if we're working as planned right now for Nehmeisa... but it's not a good idea to just care about this place. How much power can you accumulate by the final showdown... let's focus on that first"

"Does Master Luon have any thoughts?

Sophia's Question. I snorted.

"First of all, that's a weapon measure, including an artificial dragon. We need to be able to get rid of it because there are a number of obstacles before we reach Nehmeisa."

"You will naturally need Dragon Demon Stone."

"Oh. My weapon doesn't seem as good as I'd like it to be, and I have the option to leave it to Sophia... but I have more concerns than that"

Silence. Everybody wait for my word.

"As I was saying, if Nehmeisa had given me a peek into the lab to move on to the future she wanted, that artificial dragon could be seen... there might be some other weapon besides that"

"The trump card is different, so..."

"Exactly. In order to break Nehmeisa's trump card… that's what we need to produce weapons or tools that have as much power as we can to deal with creating any weapon"

"Can you do that?

Richard's question. And I nodded.

"It's not impossible. Trump tags on this continent are determined by the presence of dragon demon stones. In other words, if we can get powerful dragon demon stones, it's possible to produce objects that fit the purpose."

"It's the same shape as the sword of the Spirit, created in the battle against the Demon King."

Exactly - let's start here.

"So I look for Dragon Demon Stone. Even so, I'm not looking for it in the dark cloud. Aside from the dragon demon stones owned by the Marquis in the story, there were also natural and powerful objects. Find it… let's create a trump card"
