Sword of the Philosopher
Artificial dragons and knights
A giant dragon and Sophia going for it - from a dragon, her presence would be the tiny one.
But dragons don't move. It's like... I don't just say Sophia is what I'm after, but I look to Sophia over a stomped building.
Lord Luon, do you have any movement?
I can hear Anastasia. Probably because I can't see Sofia's situation from her. While I was still on the move... I had one hunch.
"Hey, one thing, okay?
"Umm."
"Uh, confirmation before that, but is this conversation also hearing Sophia?
"She's apparently not magical."
Does that mean you haven't heard?
"It's not like me, Exon and Lord Luon are having a conversation in this situation."
"What's wrong with that?
Exon voice. I speak right after I put something like a square in front of me.
"You just don't know why an artificial dragon was created, do you?
"There will be Lord Luon, and there will be rebel groups. When I look specifically for a reason, I think of as much '
"At first, I think it was probably a presence against the rebel groups"
I wonder if my predictions are correct.
"But - if you think about us and use us... Nehmeisa must also understand that artificial dragons and Sophia clash"
"- I mean,"
Exon opens his mouth.
"You think the artificial dragon itself moved to defeat Princess Sophia?
I do have questions about her, not me. But she fought for the Demon King. Even if Nehmeisa doesn't know what's going on, she knows her power by repeating this battle over and over again.
While I was thinking, I saw the third castle gate. But before that, a large square appears in front of us.
Yet the confusion and the appearance of people trying to escape… Here I captured a knight on the road leading to the castle.
"... you're here"
"Mr. Luon, what do we do?"
Abel asks - first and foremost, the elite knights. And the warriors who fight the demons... are close to a riot, and that applauds the confusion.
And yet, if we keep going into the fight, we're going to make Nehmeisa realize that it's not the same as last time - this is the branch.
I'm near Sophia. Transfer consciousness to the light. Still no movement. I'm confused, are artificial dragons on alert?
Either way, apparently it's pretty much the same thing that elite and artificial dragons move out of?
"Lord Luon, one more thing"
Here Anastasia raised her voice.
"Through the light, Lord Luon's voice can also be hung by his opponent"
"... it's too late to say"
"I'm sorry, Lord Luon is the only one who can use it."
I breathed softly… I told Sophia as I saw the elite approaching.
"Sophia, can you hear me?
"... Master Luon?
"You can keep your eyes open from the artificial dragon. With the Marquis' help, we can have a conversation, and I can see Sophia's trends."
After I say that, I keep talking.
"The demon of use was wiped out by the work of Nehmeisa. So, about the dragons, there was a possibility that they were adjusting a lot to defeat Sophia."
"… me, is it?"
"Oh. But there's something unexpected for Nehmeisa"
"You mean the dragon elf and the sword of the divine spirit."
"Yes."
We don't have much time.
"As things stand, elite knights and artificial dragons are likely to move at the same time... best if you defeat artificial dragons, but that would be just as tight -"
"I'll deal with this one here"
Sophia affirms. I can feel the intention of letting myself try it instead of worrying about it.
After I was slightly silent... I said "please" back and put my gaze on the elites.
"Welcome to Empire City"
Knight - Balvo, the fiery knight, opened his mouth. The other faces pull out their swords silently and enter a combat posture.
We also... it's just that there are demons around, and the warriors and Marquis' private soldiers are turning to repel them, so the scene is pretty messed up.
"You can't just get into a castle. We'll hold them back here."
Talk cheerfully Balvo...... Well, we still have a distance from the elite knights. Running all the way out of here, shadowy...... we have to do something about the knight shard in the deepest part. If the response is delayed, the ability to do so stops people around them from moving and makes the situation worse.
It's meaty all at once and it's not that hard to stop moving. But I still have the ability to regenerate, so I can't stab Todome.
"... Romilda"
Speaking up, she replied, "I know." Apparently, preparations are already under way.
Do you want to distract them by talking about it...? Yeah, I thought for once, apparently, a lot of the elites don't talk.
Then let's get started.
Balvo said. Exactly. I don't think I can buy time.
"... are you all ready?
When I asked Abel and the others around me, they all nodded uniformly.
Plus, there's movement on the part of Sofia to interact with it. An artificial dragon moves one step closer to Sofia, and again, she pulls up her magic.
I have no idea what kind of battle it will be... but the opponent is quite a giant, so even if he fights, he'll have ideas.
Here the roar of the artificial dragon echoed around. Though warriors show vigilance and look around them... there is nothing hardened by fear.
Hmm...... apparently the artificial dragons and the elite knights are linked. As a nephmeiza, I'm probably going to aim at it at the same time so I can't work with it... but conversely, it's unlikely that the dragons and knights will push it all together. On this point, I can say that I am glad.
I pull out my sword and stand slowly. Then,
"What do you say, Romilda?
"Not yet, no"
Exactly. Is it tight in this short time?
"Then how long can you do it?
"A few more minutes"
It's going to be an endlessly long few minutes... with that in mind, I tell Sofia before the attack.
"Sophia, are you ready?
'... Yes'
After hearing a clear reply, the elites approach us with a slow foothold. It also looked like I was watching this way out.
In it... I stared at the elite knights. To settle once and for all in a short time...... I'm going to figure out what plan to make in my head. What matters though is how ad hoc you can move, right?
There are warriors fighting demons around again, and it's not strange when they start attacking you with their eyes on you.
If you're going to try, you should set it up here... the knights will be getting a lot of information from Nehmeisa. But this one also knows what the knights are capable of.
I'm not gonna let him do what he looks like... let me remind you.
"Well, what do we do?
While Balvo asks, Shird shifts his gaze to those who flee.
Should I think I'm ready to hold people... after one breath,
"... Sophia"
"Yes."
"Yuska and the others, be prepared."
I snorted at those words.
"... Let's go"
At the same time as the words, I put my legs forward.
