Sword of the Philosopher

Mysterious Ruins

The blue material was slightly glossy, like metal, and as it naturally emitted light as previous ruins, there was no need for lights.

"There are two possibilities."

As we go along, Anastasia starts talking.

"One created these places because the existence that created this ruin preserved something important"

"It's over the wall."

"There was originally some trick, maybe it was a mechanism to open it"

Oh well. But even if it is, you can't verify it because I tore it apart.

"The other was created by a different being from this ruin… in this case, the presence that created the earlier ruin intentionally hid this ruin, something like that"

"For what reason?

"It's only a matter of possibility, so we can verify it and we don't know why. Either way, we might be able to see something interesting."

Marquis with a dusty face. My eyes are shining... well, I don't think anything of finding something hidden like this either, so let's not comment.

"Sure, you feel something magical"

Sophia opened her mouth. As the word goes, within this newly discovered ruin, we can feel a different power than we have just discovered.

"Is this angel magic? Or the dragon elves?

"Probably Not With Both"

It was Gark's voice. If you notice, it appears on your right shoulder. Unaware of the circumstances, Forfa narrowed her eyes and poured her gaze.

"Who is that?

"From the continent of Sherzia, a being called the Divine Spirit. His name is Gark."

"Divine Spirit...... you've heard of it. Lord Luon looks pretty wide."

Having said that, Forfa asks Garc with interest.

"You said earlier, no? I believe it is different from them because it is a magic that is hard to describe even to me...... do you know what it is?

'It's definitely out of my knowledge. Assuming this is something different from what angels made, it would have been created more by our ancestors than that.'

... before the angels, hey. Maybe that's how you say it Ancient people... Hmm, that kind of setup wasn't in the game.

I thought for a moment about the existence we met in the underground, but that's the story of the future, and if it were the same, Garc would mention it. When that happens, it's completely different from the existence I've ever encountered...... hmm.

"Can't you even think of Lord Luon?

Anastasia question. I'm trying to snort at it.

"... uh"

"What's up?

"No, I remember one thing"

In the first one, the protagonist said, "A long time ago - something created by prosperous humans long enough back in antiquity" and there was a weapon he received. That's one of the top weapons the protagonist gets, and he managed to wipe out a whole bunch of demons in one swing... well, it didn't have that big of an effect on the game.

From the very beginning, our time is past. But before that, there was something called super ancient civilization, and there was something out there somewhere in the world that they created?

"Let's hear it later... in an unknown place. I can't imagine anything sleeping."

Anastasia is releasing a sense of anticipation all over her body. I laugh bitterly and try to encourage restraint.

"Don't let your eyes shine so much... it's not like you have what you want"

Moving on with the conversation... assuming we're talking about ancient civilizations, would it mean that the angels deliberately built a new building to hide it?

"For whatever reason, the angels wanted to hide something."

Sophia speaks to the lid. Plus, Forfa answered.

"What's possible is that there was something here that angels were afraid of, or decided they had to hide."

"A demon or something, is it?

"The power of angels is phenomenal. I don't think there are any demons that can't be defeated..."

An atmosphere where the anastasia next to it is likely to leap against the contemplating forfa. I don't get tired of watching it because it's emotional, but I also think it's troublesome.

Eventually, we're going out into a lot of space. A space for nothing carrots. Directly in front of you is a passage that continues further. Other than that, there are no side roads.

"It's a killing landscape."

Sophia shares her thoughts.

"With what intent did you create a place like this"

"We don't know what the creator thinks. Let's move on."

Turns out there's nothing, Anastasia moves on. If there was a trap, etc., I thought for a moment, etc., but there are zero signs that it seems to be. Pass without problems.

Thereafter, silence often occurs. There are no branches, just a journey to the back. Anastasia's expression also turns into something surprising in a view that is too irreplaceable.

"If you go in the back and there's nothing there, it's just a broken bone."

"It seems likely... but if nothing happens, I don't know why the angels hide it."

"Let's think there's something in the back"

Forfa concludes so, still walks.

It tells the story of how different this space is that no demons even exist. There is no doubt that magic is special, but magic exists to the extent that it can be felt - there must be enough demons in those places to be sure, but I don't even see them.

The mystery of this space stands out because there is nothing on the contrary… When we thought about it, we felt signs.

"... you're here"

"Of, sounds like"

Sophia nods at my words. How Anastasia and Forfa, plus Romilda, noticed.

At the end of the aisle...... still invisible but definitely something. Something like a more powerful demon than you can feel even though you have distance?

"Lord Luon is here, and we'll be fine."

Such words are emanated from Anastasia. I shrug my shoulders and move my legs to move on.

Eventually - the hall we reached. As usual, in the murderous landscape, he was there.

"You look like a knight."

Is the back length a little over two meters? A knight wearing full body armor, just as thin blue as this space, grabs the sword and faces us in nature.

Behind it, there is one door. Even the passage only lasted so far, and there was no such thing as a door.

Also, I don't see the look on the knight's face or anything - I thought I was somehow devoid of content. To be more precise, does it feel like armor is the main body - living room armor, etc.?

And the signs I can feel are pretty good... but I can also feel like I can't see the bottom.

"Looks, doesn't look very strong though"

Forfa says. Though I agree in my heart, I think. If the angels sealed the aisle because of the presence in front of them - "The Knight of Ruins," doesn't that mean he's the one that even the angels terrorized?

"... I move"

I opened my mouth here.

"Other faces, stay down the aisle."

"Be careful, Master Luon"

I snort at Sophia's words. Start chanting while walking here. Just in case, produce a sword to do all you can.

Then the knight reacted. The sword in your right arm moves slowly. Did you react to my magic, or did you make a move by getting close?

"... Hi, looks like the end point of this ruin is the back door"

When I say so, I lay down my sword.

"Sorry, but I'll push through"

Immediately after that word, magic leaked out of the knight...... I still can't see the bottom, creepy power. Another thing from the 'he' encountered underground - considerable magic.

I'll make a move. As opposed to it, the knight of the ruins reacted and rushed towards me.
