Sword of the Philosopher

The user demon probably responded to the magic and sent me a report... the user demon flying around the rock in the mountains. Is there anything around here?

"Dear Luon, how are you?

Sophia's asking again. I'm finally answering here.

"The user demon discovered something"

"Is it a being who was manipulating demons?

"I don't know..."

Frequent use of demons to observe the rocks. But the change in appearance...

It was when I thought so. All of a sudden, I discover something that moves into my vision. It's just not a shadow or a demon.

A shadow that existed in the shadow of a rock suddenly emerges and moves under the sun.

"Is...?

I shrugged unintentionally - but I immediately perceive him hiding in the magic of the dark system.

Did the user demon react to that... you might not realize if you didn't see it because you thought there was something there.

A little while later, the shadow hid in another rock. Then people come out of the shadows in no time.

"Knight...... right"

I squeal. A knight with silver hair who gives the impression of being somewhere noble. We know that silver hair is the hallmark of one of the five elites.

"Maybe he's one of the elite last?

"Master Luon, there's still a hand on the Empire's side?

"It's very likely."

The knight walks out in the sun. Maybe he made the move waiting for us to leave.

"Hmm, a shadow manipulating knight?

"Master Luon, it's true that the other four knights possessed groundwater fire winds and their respective attributes, right?

"Oh, yeah. Thank you Shadow for the one remaining... or maybe the dark attribute. Use this knight to chase him with a demon."

The knight is pushing through the mountains. Looks like we're going back to the Imperial City.

"Hmm, it seems to me that the knight was hiding alone in the shadows and observing the trends of the herd of demons...... can we be sure?

"I guess."

Richard agrees. When I nodded back at it, I saw a demon in his direction of progress.

Dragon...... or close to a dinosaur, big enough to make a human about two turns. That's three of them. Probably not like the demon you were manipulating. Massive outbreaks may have led to the emergence of demons like that in mountainous areas as aftermath.

Then the knight reacted. Immediately pull out the sword and drive to the three dinosaurs on the move.

"... that's fast"

He is smart enough to observe and understand from the demon of use, and he is on his way to the demon at the shortest distance. Then the demon side reacts as well. Trinity strikes at the same time.

The dinosaur-shaped demons were also in the game, but they were all troublesome enemies prone to long-term warfare when they were highly durable and low-level. If you're a knight, you can't have three at the same time.

What does this knight do? - Immediately after thinking so, darkness overflowed from his body. Whether the magic touched the demon, slight but irritating the senses.

Magic diffusing around. There must have been some implications of intimidation, but the greater power exerted than that would also be a reason.

As a result, the dinosaurs stop at their magic - knights go on offense. Ravage at once with moves using darkness... that's what I thought arrowheads,

Suddenly, the dinosaur stopped moving. As if time had stopped.

What happened - as soon as I watched through the user demon, darkness arose from the knight's sword tip, and I swallowed three dinosaurs as well. Widespread magic......?

Often only magic spread around the area... eventually the darkness suddenly burst into a balin, cracking a tall sound. And the dinosaurs, they were all gone.

"Looks like you knocked him out..."

But suddenly the dinosaurs stopped moving. I don't think the knight did anything.

"... ah"

Raise your voice. When I found out that Sophia and Richard were peeking at our faces, I said,

"Maybe..."

"Master Luon?

Against Sophia, whom I call my name,

"Ok...... what tactics the knight will take during the showdown"

"Huh?"

"It's only possible... but I need to see if I'm right with this idea."

I glanced at Sophia and Richard and mentioned.

"We need to hear from Romilda. We'll do it first when we get back to the mansion."

After returning to the mansion, Anastasia greeted him and returned to the room to discuss it. However, Romilda and Sofia will also be present this time.

"I want to confirm something. About the Final Showdown"

"Yeah."

Next to Anastasia, Romilda, sitting opposite me, responds with a strange look.

"As far as Romilda knows... during the showdown, me and Romilda are headed to Nehmeisa, right?

"Yeah, that's right."

"Before that, I fought five elite knights."

Romilda nodding cocklessly.

"When I heard you talk before, you had people around you, didn't you?

"Yeah."

"So, did those people start evacuating immediately?

To inquire, she shook her head left and right.

"Some fled in a hurry... but many lost their hips and were unable to move. That's why my brother Luon told me to evacuate those people. Focus on it, I could barely see the fight..."

"I was able to observe there this time, so I'm fine. Talk, thanks."

"So, what do you know now?

I answered Anastasia's question while organizing my mind.

"The Last Knight... If that's what we saw earlier, the name is definitely Shard-Alabas... and I think he could probably do something like shadow-bound without preliminary motion, as he uses the magic of the dark attribute"

"Shadow-bound? Hmm, by using it, you mean you detained the surrounding people, not Lord Luon?

"You can restrain dinosaurs, so it's easy to restrain people. And because they couldn't move, it was hard for me to do everything I could... just like the opponent did."

"Other than me, there were people who tried to do something about it..."

Some remorseful Romilda face.

"Looks like he got caught up in an attack..."

"I wonder if that means the elite knight has withheld it"

"Well, if I knew Tane, I'd do it."

Anastasia says. I nodded deeply,

"Nehmeisa wouldn't think that a knight could do something about me... its purpose is to buy time. Then I have to get to Nehmeisa as soon as possible."

That's it, I'll put my arms together.

"Ideally, I would smash Shard in one blow and evacuate people, and the other knights would knock him out at once... or bump the four elite knights into the faces this one has gathered to contain the movement, and me and Romilda would head under Nehmeisa as soon as possible... or something like that"

"Which one to take depends on the war situation"

I snorted at Sophia's words,

"Nehmeisa should be able to see where the showdown went in some way... except for the knights, who will naturally find out something different from the last fight"

From there, it's up to Lord Leon.

Anastasia says.

"We have some challenges, but we still have time. You just have to bury everything in between."

"What are we going to do about the remaining Marquis of the Four Dragons?

"Uhm, from the information I got from Lord Luon, I think he's the emperor. It's going to be tough to get him to go back to sleep, so I'm not going to let him do whatever he wants."

Speaking of which, she explored her pockets and retrieved a rounded letter.

"I also got an invitation from him. He wants to have a secret meeting at this place. It seems like you're talking about secretly forming a cooperative relationship with me. Actually, it wouldn't be."

The Marquis continued as he cleverly circled the writ over his hand.

"Lord Luon and Princess Sophia are also present in this discussion... It seems that there are occasions when Lord Luon will be active, so please say hello"
