Sword of the Philosopher

Take the exit outside and camouflage so that there are no signs of it being used. Then he started moving according to the demon's information.

"One side to chase, one side to be chased... I don't know how."

'Do you help the side being chased in some cases?

"No, it wouldn't be a good idea to intervene poorly. It could be a case in which Nehmeisa is deeply involved... and there's a possibility that it's worse to be chased."

"I see, indeed"

I push through the mountains... eventually I could see the two of them from a distance.

The voices are so far away that you can't hear them... but it's the two knights who confront them. The side to follow is the man. The side being chased is a woman.

The man is a swordsman with brown skin and gray hair. We can see from afar that weapons are great swords and not concurrent abilities.

The other woman has the same gear as the man, but I can't rely on her... she looked lucky. A semi-long blonde is shaking and confronting a man.

"It's a long way from listening to the conversation."

I realized here I had a magic to hide the signs and get close...

"... could it be"

"What's up?

"No, that male knight...... features match one of the elite knights"

If that's the case, that's your chance.

I started a magic chant and used magic to hide the signs. Approach both of them at once.

- Do you want me to give it back?

And I heard a man.

"Say no."

Followed by a woman's voice. It feels like intimidating a man.

Both sides have already pulled out their swords, but there is a distance. Women are more alert and laggier, while men try to pack their time little by little.

Hmm, given the outfits of both sides, are women spies or traitors of an organization that flies anti-flags against the imperial side? And do men feel like they've come this far after her for taking something away from them?

"What's that man's name?

Gark asks. Uh, according to the dossier...

"I'm sure it was Balvo-Izarde"

He was one of the five elites and should have been a user of the magic sword.

"... I'll tell you what, you're not gonna win"

Balvo emits. But women don't respond.

"Well, think about it normally. Drinking Valvo's demands will end up together."

"In this case, I guess I'll die here or in prison."

Shortly after Garc commented, Balvo moved. The woman decides to withdraw immediately. I turned my back and tried to escape with all my might. But...

"No use."

A word. At the same time, Balvo waved his sword away. From the tip of his body comes a flame.

His good attack is the fire attribute - the flame that emanates from the blade, the moment it touches the ground, it thrusts straight into the woman like a fire line.

The speed was considerable, quickly reaching under her feet and exploding. A magnificent sound dedicated to mountainous areas. The earthly smoke rises and out of it comes a woman so that she can roll.

You're not getting away with this.

At the same time as the proclamation, Balvo flamed out of his fullness. Flames spill from the tip, scorching the ground.

The opposing woman reassembled her sword. You look like you've shown a will to fight, but if there's a gap, you're thinking of running away.

Balvo walks out, no matter. The woman retreats to respond... but this is the same as earlier.

"... Lord Luon"

Garc speaks here.

"I don't know what a woman is, but it seems likely that she will be the same emperor as us in this battle."

"Probably... marquis forehand, or rebel bribe... just not a good idea to intervene after all. I don't want them to know I exist."

It could be that breaking into this battle will make Nehmeisa realize that it is "not like last time"...... what to do.

'You mean we just have to shut up and watch?

"... let's see how it goes a little"

Barvo moved, the arrow tip that responded to Garc's words. Spray the flame out of your body and beat it to the ground.

What happened - the flames became fireworks in front of him, hitting women like a tsunami.

"Ku...!?"

The woman groaned but kneaded her left hand. Light comes from that hand and tries to counter it.

"He's going to do something, but that's not enough!

Balvo barked, furthermore scowling his sword. Every time a sword strikes the ground, further flames are created, which strike women in multiple ways.

"... Is this Innovative?

I guess from that increase in magic. I can't be sure, but at least think of it as Valvo's specialty.

The woman put some light on it and blunted the flame movement - but it hasn't become a battle. The light was eventually swallowed by the flames, and she was also...

"... ah"

"Lord Luon?

Shortly after I heard the inquiry, I made up my mind.

"Garc, it looks like we don't have to break in."

"What?"

Her body was swallowed by flames while we had a conversation. The moment, the blast flames erupt into the air, and the roar fills the perimeter.

Fire columns rise to the sky and heat travels all the way to me. It's hard to tell if it's creative, but at least it will be highly powerful in the moves Balvo unleashes.

"Against the Empire, punishment"

Balvo says. And the flames go out...... all that's left is black smoke and him being transcendent.

Eventually the smoke clears. The place where the woman stood was burnt black, and there was nothing left to believe that there were humans until earlier.

"... something is falling to the ground"

Gark speaks. That Balvo seemed to have noticed, too, and when he approached the blast, he bent over and picked something up.

"It was a waste of time, you too."

When I abandoned him, he started walking. Without ever looking back at where the woman was... the figure disappeared.

'... Lord Luon, I said earlier that there was no need to intervene'

"Oh, because..."

Suddenly, the black scorched ground swelled with dust.

Watching, the look of a woman crawling out of the ground.

"In the meantime, I could have survived... but no harvest after all"

Leaking sigh. She took something and ran away, but it turned out to be a fight.

"... All right, I'll use that knight and her to observe with the devil"

"Um, yeah."

"I'm more concerned about women in particular... Marquis officials, or..."

The woman also leaves while she whines. After dropping it off in silence, I commented.

"Elite knights should have checked until the end."

"Finally, how was it? I understand that magic has come from women."

"Magic at the moment of being swallowed by the flames... I could see I was using the soil on the ground to create a golem"

"Instead of that, he said he dived into the ground"

"That sort of thing"

"But in the end, you didn't know how it happened."

"We'll have to observe it with the demon and find out as far as we can."

Either way, was it nice to be able to confirm the ability of one of the elite knights?

It's hard to believe Balvo was serious, but the flames that pushed him over were quite powerful. If you're going to take a ride, you're going to have to prevent it or endure it.

"Lord Luon, are you going back?

Garc asks questions while he thinks. I nodded and took the dragon demon stone out of my nose.

"Oh, right. It served its purpose, and the knights waited until they explored the ruins."

It was then. I felt it right after I got the Dragon Demon Stone at the ruins - gaze.

"What's up?

Gark asks, but I ignore it and look around. There is no one to check through the demon. Is it still your fault...?

When I think about it, I realize there is.

"... could it be"

Looking at the dragon demon stone,

- Oh, I noticed.

Suddenly, a woman's voice was heard from the Dragon Demon Stone.
