Sword of the Philosopher

Take advantage of Richard's flying dragon and head to your destination at once. By the way, about him...

"Mr. Leon and the others will be settled in about a day, no matter how long, right? Then we'll wait in the nearest town."

"Are you all right?

"No matter how much Nehmeisa rolls back in time, you have the information you know and you don't. You're not going to do exactly what you're going to do with me, and if you're hiding, you'll be fine."

... Well, is Richard right here?

"Just in case, I'll keep the demon close so I can get in touch. If anything happens to you, give it to me."

"Oh."

"Take care"

Sophia says. When Richard replies "Regardless," he finally approaches his destination.

"Mr. Luon, where can I put it down?

"Near the foot is fine. Besides, Marquis' information still doesn't tell us that the knights have moved to the mountains, and we don't need to be alert to the enemy."

There's no abnormality in looking around with the demon of use, and there won't be a problem here. The remaining problem is about runaway dragon men.

Even if only weapons containing dragon demon stones work, we have them now. Plus Sofia can even use trump cards. No matter how strong it is, it won't be just the Demon King or his side class -

"Hmm, magic is on your mind."

Gark says. Apparently, the destination is close.

Eventually, the Fei Long is on the ground. I go down looking around. On the border between the forest and the mountains, the ground is gravel.

"Mr. Luon, what do you want me to do about picking you up?

"It's not that far to the nearest town. If we get the Dragon Demon Stone, we'll be on our way."

"Okay. Praying for good luck."

The flying dragon flies away. I told Sophia after I dropped it off.

"Well, let's go."

"Yes."

With a strong reply - start walking to the mountains. Immediately after that, I'll make Resvail appear. I did a magic analysis, and I tried to find a runaway dragon man and I

"... you feel it, magic"

"Oh."

Before Lesbail began his investigation, he was more right to say that there were signs of dragonmen at the point of being at the foot, rather than being able to capture magic...

I guess this means the other person is less willing to hide the signs. Plus, it feels like you keep people away from you by emitting magic around you...

"I hope if I find someone, I'll be punished with a relentless blow..."

Reminds me of the information Exon gave me. It is possible to deduce to some extent whether there are dragon demon stones. But it doesn't mean definitive.

In other words, if we accidentally defeat the Dragon Man, we may not know where the Dragon Demon Stone is.

"... a knight on the enemy's side that he's headed this way"

Sophia speaks to the lid.

"Do you have a chance?

"You fought angels in the previous ruins, didn't you?

"Yes."

"The knight who was on the spot couldn't stand the attack of an angel and was an instant kill... I think the runaway dragon man is lower than an angel this time, and he can investigate more than he is spreading this much magic. It means we're taking care of it."

... Well, this is a story if the knights are serious about fighting dragon men. Even if the knight is in motion this time, there are faint signs that Nehmeisa is seriously trying to get the Dragon Demon Stone from the Dragon Man. Is it correct that there are troublesome obstacles to the place here, and that you left it alone? Or...

"And there's a chance that we won't fight."

"I see, when only dragon demon stones are plundered"

"Either way, I definitely want to avoid being taken by the imperial side -"

I heard an arrow tip, a voice, like that. like, because honestly, it was subtle to describe it as a voice. If you say it, it feels like you've made the crow squeak more treble.

"What if you encounter and fight?

"Based on the Marquis' story, the dragon man in question uses the power of the dragon demon stone. For twenty years, if you continue to suck power, even Dragon Demon Stone will lose its shadow and shape, so in this case, your body will be activated under the influence of Dragon Demon Stone, or something like that. Anyway, if you get hurt, you should go back to get that power."

"First of all, you're gonna hurt your hand."

When I snorted, my voice was again. Closer than earlier.

"Sooner than I thought, it's going to be a fight"

Since we're approaching, it looks like the opponent is responding and moving. If we go any further, they will surely be on their way.

Often, only the sound of sanding echoes around. I carry a sword so that I can come any time, but as the signs gradually approach, I also have the strength in my hand to squeeze the sword.

I don't know how to relate and how to respond...... until I can be cut off that I don't need to think deeply from my abilities, but signs that I can describe it as sticky released from the mountains...... this makes me anxious about something.

That's when something strange went into my sight. People... no, a little different-

"Is that it?

Sophia says. It was definitely in the shape of a person that got into my sight.

But its appearance is clearly different from that of people. Its appearance, which solidified its entire body with a scale that was creepy enough green, was alien enough to evoke horror films of poor nature.

As for protecting the whole body, although worn out armor... I didn't think it would perform a function at all. I didn't have anything on either arm, but the nail that reached out of my hand was as long as my finger and sharp enough to pierce my heart.

Different wind. In addition to that, the magic you can feel is also unusual.

"... I've fought demon kings, so I'm familiar with being called alien."

I exist today - I speak up to the Dragon Man.

"Even so, the signs are different."

The roar rises. It disappears at the earliest possible time, such as reason, and it is definitely moving by instinct alone. If these beings are arraying mountains, that would be an option that won't come any closer.

"What do you want to do?

Sophia asks. When I regained my sword,

"I'll come forward. I need magic so that Sophia can get him hurt."

"Okay."

"As for how to converge magic when using magic, are you okay?

"I verified how much on the road, so no problem"

"Then, please"

At the same time as the words, the dragonman moves. What I did, I took a step forward - it looked like it.

For a moment, I put my strength into both arms. The next moment the dragonman moves to disappear and appears in front of me.

"Have you greatly improved your physical abilities"

My nails are scratched. Are you after my chest?

Swords and nails intersect. I hear the sound of metal pounding and recognize that the nail hardness is equivalent.

I want to avoid Sophia being targeted behind it. Concentrate all nerves on the enemy in front of you because you need to be alert.

Coming - right after you decide so, the Dragon Man moves again. Use your right hand, a dull blow. I instantly played with my sword, and so did my left nail, which came even further.

For just a few moments, the sword and nails rumble with a squeaky roar of ears. A reward for speed that may be difficult to perceive even at the knight level on the imperial side. But I can handle it. Plus, if you're Sophia behind it, you can be caught -!

"Great thunder!

Sophia's magic activated shortly afterwards. At the same time I feel the magic, I lean.

The lightning attribute intermediate magic 'Lightning' was used from the wording. The flash pushed through my back and shot the dragon man.

Soon, a voice similar to a scream bursts out of the dragonman's mouth. It's a volume that makes me want to block my ears, but I put my foot forward to set up a chase.

But the dragonman moved before that. Retract and distance at once. Did the magic work better than I thought, or did it look like it alerted us?

And I could lose it out of my sight. Retreat due to injury, if you simply think about it, but if you still have enough reason to act, is that a trap?

Nevertheless, it's not a good idea to let them get away here.

"We're going after him."

"Yes."

With Sophia's reply, he began to follow the dragonman.
