Sword of the Philosopher

Demons that appeared on the ground. I hurried to the entrance to the cave thinking it might be troublesome for Sophia to have quite a few too... the result was:

"Do it!"

The moment I left the cave, I heard Sophia's short hanging. You can see him turning to fight back while avoiding the demons he attacked, and the exact sword trident only kills and destroys the demons.

The demon looks, Lizardman - but its urchin is similar to that of the dragon man who was running wild. Probably a being that borrowed and created the power of Dragon Demon Stone.

Something like a trap activated by taking the Dragon Demon Stone? I started a magic chant to go in for cover. Shortly afterwards, Sophia cut with further Lizardmans and destroyed them.

Now two at the same time. But Sophia was calm. Lizardman's score is a sword, but when he recieves it, he determines the spike.

A sword that goes firmly into the head. Lizardman disappears with dust after leaking a fine scream.

There comes a second body. She immediately avoided laying down the crosshairs and waved her sword to soften.

As a result, a slash runs from the abdomen to the head. Lizardman couldn't stand this, either, and vanished.

"You don't seem to have a problem."

Gark says. I create Resbail while maintaining my magic cover.

"Monitor the demons from the sky. If there's a demon running away, report it immediately."

Armored angels fly instantly on instructions. Nevertheless, if this were a trap, the demons would be more on their way than fleeing.

Sophia destroys the demons while she thinks about it. Now three at the same time. I thought this was just cover - but for a second,

She retreats and hovers her sword horizontally with the lightness to begin with even dancing. At the same time, Lizardman comes at me. How do I respond?

The demonic sword looms. The opposing Sophia dodges it in a mild step before instilling magic into herself.

- It's over.

Flashing sideways with words. The first big blow that doesn't suit her. The moment it touched Lizardman, the shock wave burst directly in front of her.

Demons can blow up and disappear without exception with the roar - it looks slightly different from the game, but this is the 'Dragon Wave Sword' from Longsword Advanced moves. It's supposed to shock waves extensively forward and damage quite a few enemies, but I guess she adjusted. The range is narrow.

And when I realized, her battle was over. Resvail, who is in the air, also sends a report that the demon has disappeared.

"Sophia."

As she walked over, she looked back instantly.

"Dear Luon, are you all right?

"Oh, I'm fine"

"From about under my feet, I felt some magic... was it the Dragon Man's work"

That's because I fought all I could.

"I'll explain that later."

"Did Master Luon do it?

"Oh. I had a nasty opponent."

With that said, I take the Dragon Demon Stone out of my nostalgia and show it to Sophia.

"But the purpose was achieved"

"That's good. Is this the end of the battle?"

"But Sophia, by the way. What about that demon earlier?

"Master Luon has been in the cave for some time. Suddenly it appeared."

"Did you defeat the Dragon Man, or did you get the Dragon Demon Stone... Either way, it sounds like you could think of it as the Dragon Man's work"

Then the mountains will be calm.

"Then we'll rendezvous with Richard and go home"

"Yes."

With Sophia, who nodded, he followed the mountain.

Rendezvous with Richard in the nearest town. I had no problem getting back to the mansion on that leg... because Gark said he wanted to 'talk to me', so I ended up having a meeting in one of the rooms of the inn.

I'll tell you about 'him' I ran into underground. As a result, it was Sophia who opened her mouth the most.

"Who must you relate to with all your might, Master Luon?"

"I don't have to do everything I can to take it down, but I thought it would be better if we had a short showdown."

"You think Mr. Luon decided he should because he knows who he is?

Richard's words. I nodded.

"Oh. In the battle with the Demon King...... I had made all sorts of assumptions, but it finally came to a certainty"

"The Demon King did say that."

Gark on his right shoulder speaks.

"On the verge of doom... you might be able to save everything," he said. Is that why you squealed those words, the guy you ran into today?

"Oh, probably"

Sophia and the others' expressions harden on my words.

"Aside from Nehmeisa, he said there was a nasty opponent out there"

"No, as things stand, I don't think we're going to fight right away"

"Do you have a basis?

"He himself said he wouldn't do anything from himself. Pulling out memories from previous lives, there was no situation where he would do something spontaneously during or after this battle."

"If so, you think it's a good idea to leave it alone?

"Yes, but I guess someone will interfere any day"

'... Lord Luon, first of all explain it to me from the ground up'

I'll cut the story here, Gark says.

Who is he?

"... I didn't have a specific name. Depending on who you are trying to touch, you can say it in different ways."

I pull the memory of the game out of my head and say.

"One man called it the 'Creator', and one dragon man called it the 'God of Destruction'. If any of the angels called him 'God', some demon clan said it was' chaos itself '"

"You're falling apart"

"Well, it's falling apart... what you're trying to say is that even angels and demons couldn't grasp who they were."

"Unidentified...?

"Oh. By the way, was the Spirit 'the heart of the world'... I don't know if you see it as good or bad"

I breathe.

"It's... it's hard to explain that this is exactly the case. I wonder if I can say that there is a huge mass of magic somewhere in this world."

'That's all I ask, it doesn't seem like much...'

"What I'm telling you is information from a previous life... I wasn't affirming it in the story. Maybe he was going to explain it in the sequel. However, I can explain what happens by his power."

"... I have a bad feeling"

Richard says. That's right, I smile and talk.

"A tremendous amount of power… it is also possible to crumble the world"

"In fact, did that happen...?

Sophia inquires in a plundered voice.

"The world...?

"If you believe what he says and does, that doesn't happen spontaneously. I guess the trigger was caused by someone interfering."

Sophia and the others who are silent on these words. The scale of the conversation is getting bigger. Naturally.

"You told me the story was a series, didn't you? In fact, the first one is a story of a distant future from now on, after its collapse. After the second one, it dates back to the past and the presence that appeared in the first - angels, demons, dragon men and spirits. It is a story with them as the subject matter. And what happened between the present and the future is not discussed in detail"

"Dear Luon, if we stop that cause… for example human interference, can we prevent collapse?

"I don't know."

Put your head on. It won't just stop and end humans, either. Power itself continues to exist.

"Anyway. I don't know how that collapse could happen, but I think we should defeat the existence that interferes with him."

"Maybe my magic was interfering with him the same way."

Richard says. But I followed him.

"Let's assume that we have no choice but to win the battle against the Demon King. It seems the Demon King was about to make some moves, but he's no more forgiving than he has caused so many sacrifices. All we can do at the moment is stop Nehmeisa from committing the crime... which means we won't let her use any more of the magic of turning back time."

Sophia and the others snorted at my words.
