Sword of the Philosopher

Confronting the real thing

Richard's dragon leads us to where Nehmeisa is. On the way, I'll tell my people.

"How the opponent moves changes the way he fights... I just don't think it changes that me or Sophia are attacked by the opponent and Romilda's magic is the main thing, I'm gonna ask you to do it."

"Mr. Leon, let me tell you something else."

And now Richard starts talking.

"After this battle, what are we going to do?

"I just want to say leave the continent and go back... but probably not either"

"Any reason?

"Nehmeisa is the mastermind in this battle, but the intrinsic enemy is the special one I met underground. Unless you do something about him, the fight won't end."

"This time, can't it be solved? And how to defeat it."

Sighing Richard...... but not without measures.

"I have an idea."

"Is that true?

"but... it's gonna be a long journey"

"What now?"

"I agree."

Sophia endorsed it.

"We are people who follow Master Luon. I'll be with you everywhere."

It would help if you could say that... but is Sophia really good - and I figured that would be now too.

"... ok. I'll tell you more after this fight."

"Then we have to settle it properly."

I nod at Sophia's mention and look under her eyes.

The dragon's speed is considerable, and the scenery passes terribly fast. As the battle has only been over for a few hours or so, this sudden assault, even as Nehmeisa, would be a sincere pain in the ass.

"Exploring the Emperor's Dragon Demon Stone, we're on our way."

Here, Sophia starts talking.

"Is it possible that that's the dummy?

"Not zero, but then someone with more than one power over Romilda's enemies should be caught... but we'll talk about that area, too, after the fight is over"

I'll move my gaze to Romilda. He's in the front seat, leaning down to think of something. Looks like he's still looking into Nehmeisa.

"What do you say, Romilda?

"... it's not moving."

"I'm getting ready, something like that"

I agreed with Richard that I might be.

Eventually we arrived in the valley. From one of the caves, located along the shoreline, was the power of the emperor's dragon demon stone held by Nehmeisa.

"... you've been in a lot of places again"

"After all this time, you thought you might find it."

I answer to Richard as he looks at the cave.

Looks like a cave without any weird philosophy. I'll jump from the dragon to the entrance as soon as possible and check inside.

"... you can't see in the back. From here on out, we're going to have to go completely by hand."

"Mr. Luon, what am I supposed to do?

"Stay around here and wait for me. I'll keep the demon by my side, so I'll get back to you."

Copy that.

Sophia and Romilda also fly away, and Richard manipulates and flies the dragon. The rest of us silenced with the cave in front of us.

"... then let's move on"

Into - Immediately after, pale magic touches the skin.

Nevertheless, I can't feel the offensive element...... Hmm, do you want to check your surroundings first?

"Les Bails"

Produce spirits, I give instructions.

"Analyze the surrounding magic."

Starting work...... apparently this cave itself is emitting magic.

"Loaded with traps, that doesn't sound like it. Well, what do we do?"

'I've come this far. We have to go.'

Gark appeared out of nowhere and told me.

"I've been doing a lot of research, but I don't see anything unusual."

"I don't know if there's anything, but it doesn't use magic... Sophia, Romilda. Follow me."

Walk out. Only rock skin existed in the cave with no philosophy whatsoever... but after a while, it changed to grey stone building, not just rock.

"... is it the ruins of an angel?

"It doesn't look like Nehmeisa built it, so that's what it's going to be"

Following my words, Sophia presents her views.

"The ruins that originally existed underground appeared on the shoreline in some kind of applause, where Nehmeisa used them, in things like that."

"You've often found a place like this... where you stumbled upon it after repeated battles"

There is no such thing as a demon to protect the cave. Probably because there's an entrance on the shoreline, I don't think there's any need for security or anything like that. And since it hasn't been so long since the showdown in Imperial City, you mean you weren't ready for us?

Well, that would be a good opportunity for us... but while I was thinking about it, I went out into the open space.

of stone...... is it a table? On top of what was originally present in this ruin, there is a bunch of paper - a pile of research material. There will also be scattered instruments that I don't know what they will be used for, so something like an experimental location for Nehmeisa.

"What do you want to do?

Sophia points forward. One door made of the same material as the wall directly in front. And one on the right from us.

"Romilda, can you feel any signs?

"I'm sure he's close, but which door is he at..."

You're lucky. After I get a little lost, I'm going straight ahead and I'm going to open the door.

Gogo, and the door opens with a loud sound. In the back is the passage. The ceilings are quite high but narrow in width.

"... in the back, I also feel like I'm here"

Romilda's words. I nod once and walk ahead.

Lesbail, who refrains at the rear, examines the magic and returns reports that it is getting a little thicker. It just doesn't seem like that's the level of magic preparation, just because there's a neph-meiza.

Turn the corner wondering if this passage is correct...... etc. Behind it, there is one door.

"... this is"

Sophia squeaks. I didn't have to go through Resvail to recognize him.

Obviously, different quality magic than elsewhere...... apparently, the end point.

"Romilda, are you okay?

"Yeah."

She nods...... the nose has a sealed weapon in the box again. That some enemies have encountered underground. Timing is important when using it.

"Sophia, we're going to follow the policy we talked about on the move."

"Okay."

Reach in front of the door. After making sure there were no traps or anything else, I opened the door.

Behind it - a spacious space reminiscent of the cathedral. Moreover, unlike elsewhere, tattoos are dug on columns and walls to give a sense of shaping beauty.

Was it the kind of place where the angels prayed...... keep an eye on the front with that in mind. There, one man stood.

"... nehmeisa"

"Come here with the momentum of the showdown"

It was like throwing up and throwing up. Beneath its feet is a magic formation that shines blue.

"I thought I could figure out where I was... but from this early, you mean I've worked out a plan ahead of time"

You can't let him get away with it.

Pull out the sword on your hips. A weapon containing a dragon demon stone, but it would most likely not work with my sword. Anyway, he possesses the power of the Emperor's Dragon Demon Stone.

Nehmeisa doesn't move. You're on guard, or you're waiting for this one to approach you... Either way, it doesn't look like you're going to set anything up at the time we meet.

If - I only move my gaze to Romilda for a moment. She nodded cocklessly - beginning to converge in magic.
