Sword of the Philosopher

Return to the mansion without any particular handicap and talk to Anastasia in the room. Sofia will also be present to see what she will do in the future.

"As for the remaining Marquis of the Four Dragons, Saul..."

Anastasia sighed as I opened my mouth.

"It was written in the dossier that at the time of the showdown, he was taking a static stand... but he might have been working on it without our knowledge."

"... I think I've been observing trends with demons."

"Nehmeisa would have warned me. I didn't originally believe him, but it's certain that we need to explore trends."

... If we can contain Zaul's movements, we'll have to do it because it'll be easier during the showdown.

"Lord Luon, we still have some time before we talk to Zaul. Let's leave this for now."

"Oh... so what do we do next?

"The whole thing we need to do is done. During the showdown, it would still take planting to zero the victims, but in addition to the fact that there were four elite opponents, he also switched dragon demon stones. Let's see what we got."

Then next...

"In the dossier, there was a demon crusade, wasn't there?

"Oh, it's not like I'm making a request to Lord Leon."

- Anastasia was hearing about the situation from Romilda, so this is how we're working together now, but in our last fight, they asked me to crusade demons to confirm my strength by saying, "Can we work together without any information?"

"Well, with Lord Luon's strength, you won't have a hard time. So, please."

"... to the extent that it was a bit written in the text about the crusade, so you won't have that much difficulty"

"Then it seems that you took the opportunity to acknowledge Lord Luon, so I'm pretty sure that means you worked well."

Anastasia, who said so, smiles. Well, that includes something.

Perhaps you know more about demons by reporting them.

"Contents include the crusade of demons that emerged from mountainous areas. There seems to be quite a few of them."

"Is there any reason why all of a sudden demons appear?

"The elite knights are moving everywhere, aren't they? I'm not trying to retrieve the Dragon Demon Stone from the ruins… it's believed that the balance of magic has broken."

"Balance, is it"

Sophia says. Anastasia looked into her eyes,

"Demons appear in large quantities when there is a great strain on the magic present in the atmosphere. In addition to retrieving Dragon Demon Stone, this time when an elite knight is caught in a trap, it also affects both large and small magic."

"Their actions have led to more demons,"

"Um, if there's a lot of them, they want magic. In some cases, the demons go down the mountain. This crusade is not about demons trying to walk to the horizon."

... Ma'am, the quality of the demons that emerge on this continent is not so high that it would be easy to defeat them.

"It's not until later that the demon goes down the mountain. In the meantime, each may conduct training. As soon as the crusade is over, a letter will come from Zaul. I guess I can afford it now."

"Okay, sweetheart."

The policy is a decision. We decided to leave the room and train quickly.

Me and Sophia will participate in the demon crusade. The dossier said the two of us went, and she's just right to make sure she works with Forfa.

"Dear Luon, how is the sword?

Sophia asks while we head to the place where the demons appear in Richard's dragon. I'm already working with Forfa, and now Dragon Elf is inside her body.

"From the side, he seemed to be struggling."

"I have very little clue. It's dangerous and unusable to remain a force emanating from the ruins, and all this may not make it to the showdown."

On the contrary, it is possible to do everything possible, so if Nehmeisa, for example, has used powerful magic against me... a situation like that might help.

"Situationally, does it feel like it's not bad?

Richard asks. I shrugged my shoulders at it,

"Right. First of all, the measures are going well."

"And then you want some magical details about turning the clock around."

"That's the part that's left as a big mystery."

Do we have to expect the spirits around here... during the conversation, we arrive at our destination.

You can see the mountains directly in front of you and the streets leading to one of them. The surrounding terrain is a plain, not a problem to fight.

"Well, did the neighbors evacuate because of the demons?"

I've heard those stories from Anastasia, so they're not popular around the streets at all.

"It seems to be because there are so many of them... maybe the last time I went ahead and offered to cooperate because the demon appeared"

"Maybe."

Sophia in tune. Well, all I have to do is wait here...

Fly demons over the sky and try to observe the demons. There may be other knights on the Imperial side, for example, so they are stretching out antennas by demons even if they are not popular... one of them sent me a report. The contents...

"... hey"

"Master Luon?

"Wait, what is this... Anastasia, you didn't say it on purpose because you wanted to surprise me or something"

Sophia and Richard react to my voice and send a surprise glance.

"Master Luon, is there something you don't plan to do?

"Oh, well... no, wait"

I put my hand on my mouth,

"On second thought, you had no idea how many, because it was only a demonic crusade in the dossier"

"You mean a lot unexpected?

For Richard's sake, I'm the boss.

"Oh. It should be time to see"

Move your gaze forward. The moment Sophia and Richard turned their eyes, they could see the demons from a distance.

You're just lining up - a black demon figure lined up in a side-by-side row, pushing you through the flat.

"... Um, this is"

"Cause, shouldn't we investigate?

Recommend as Richard stares.

"Much more than I expected."

"I'm observing it from above, but it's over a hundred or two hundred."

"You think this is the only number that emerged because of a magical anomaly?

"Honestly, there are too many to think about that. Is it more reasonable to think that the Empire did something?"

Did you think about crushing Anastasia? Well, whatever the prospect, we have to stop it.

"- Les Bailes"

I call the Spirit and give instructions.

"That's all there is. There should be other demons out there besides pushing straight ahead. Find them and end it, or report it to me."

Resbail flies. Then Richard speaks this time.

"Sounds like there's no such thing as flying demons. I'll ride the dragon and cover the sky."

"Okay. Sophia, we're gonna do something on the ground."

"Yes."

Listening to the reply, I think one thing.

Even though the dossier said so nicely, it matters. Well, I'll figure it out eventually, so maybe I didn't have to go into details about Richard the last time, etc...

I begin to hear the roar of demons. He noticed our presence. Richard flies off on a dragon and Les Bailes starts to move too.

"... it would seem more convenient if we were alone."

I can also verify the sword I got in the fight. Sofia can also fully confirm its collaboration with Forfa.

Demons are slowly approaching. That seemed exactly like an army - me and Sophia started running at the same time.
