Sword of the Philosopher

Honestly, it's been an endless long day.

And in one day today, how drastically this empire has changed...... it began with a coup, uncovering the defeat of the emperor and what Nehmeisa has done, and we defeated Nehmeisa and 'him' who have rewound time.

When I rode the dragon back to Imperial Capital, it was past the evening. Seeing a beautiful sizzling view, I laugh unexpectedly.

"You've been in Imperial City for less than a day."

"Right. It was a terribly long battle."

Sophia shares her thoughts. Romilda and Richard also nodded and exhaled.

On the way home, Romilda tried to detect Nehmeisa just in case, but could not confirm its existence. You should still think that Nehmeisa, who was then destroyed by 'him' and was rewinding time, fell.

"Whatever it is, it doesn't necessarily mean anything... shall we move around a lot until the time when Nehmeisa activated the magic"

"I'll help you"

"Me too, let's try something."

Sophia and Richard answer successively. And this one responded, "Please."

Anastasia greeted me at the castle. "Well done," she said, reporting the upside of the matter.

"The battle is completely over... we are preparing for the feast, but will Lord Luon and the others join us?

"... I told Abel to be ready, are we going to do it today?

"Um, well, everyone must be tired, so don't be grand. Lord Leon seems fine."

"... I'm pretty tired too"

The last blow I unleashed against 'him' - Heavenly Seal's sword responded to this one's full power and could be defeated. However, because it countered a huge amount of force, I feel a little tired.

But again, this sword you got in the ruins is horrible. How much magic do you absorb? I'm getting kind of scared.

"But if you're gonna do it, there's no reason not to hang out."

"That's not what I'm talking about... then"

and Anastasia grinned,

"It's a new ship out of the Empire. Enjoy laughing at the end and end this long day"

- That's how in the castle, the feast was held. Even so, it didn't feel like we had a venue or anything, but everyone made a scene around the castle and in the town.

The inhabitants responded accordingly, and the feast spread throughout the capital. I could also understand how the oppression that was swirling in the empire was affecting people when I saw how many people were having fun making noise.

"... no, but you're in real trouble"

Looking out at the view on the upper floor of the castle, on the terrace, Anastasia approached.

"The long battle is finally over... Lord Luon, thanks for one thing to Lord Luon for containing the damage so far. Thank you."

"The greatest merit is Romilda. Without that material, we would have fought this battle over and over again."

"Mm, right... Speaking of which, Lord Luon"

"What?"

"What do we do with her?

- There is an original Romilda in this world. In addition to being irregular, Romilda, who was fighting with us, possesses the power of the Emperor's Dragon Demon Stone.

"There are two people in the same person, that's not a problem. But the fact that we have the power of the Emperor's Dragon Demon Stone makes the story more difficult"

"I have Abel to be emperor... what do you think of as a marquis?

"It's natural but unprecedented that there are two people with power. I don't know if we need to discuss this... but it's subtle if we can give her a good answer."

"... she's connected to us"

That's what I said, but I reckon it's a little different.

"No, to me and Sophia last time, I guess... there's something I haven't tamed yet, but I can get you a place if she wants"

"I invite you to Lord Luon's continent, don't you think?

I snorted... a lot of people know my situation, so I can accommodate it.

"Um, I guess that'll be easy... but if you're gonna do it, I'll see you soon"

"Why?"

"I don't know what happens when we go into a discussion. If you're going to do it, only now that the ministers are in a mess."

I mean, you want me to just run?

"Should we just disappear, too?

"Uhm... well, I can't deny the possibility of interfering with Lord Luon and the others."

"Then when the time has passed when Nehmeisa used the magic of turning back time, she decides to leave"

"You mean you'll stay that far... thank you"

And so Anastasia grinned.

"By the way, Lord Luon, do you remember your promise?

"... you mean the deal. Well, I appreciate the Marquis' help."

"If I can get some information, I promise to work with you… but it depends on where you go"

Anastasia shrugged her shoulders when she said so.

"Have you decided on your next destination, etc?

"I have a candidate"

"What's the place?

"It's..."

In an attempt to answer, I discovered what Sophia and Richard looked like. Further aft is Romilda.

"Was it this way, Master Luon"

"Oh...... and Marquis. I'll see you next time."

"Just fine. You don't mind telling me about the future."

Pickle, and Sophia reacted. Do you still care what happens next?

"Dear Luon, have you decided where you want to go next?

"Oh...... there are two options. It's not about one or the other, it's about which way to go first."

"To defeat the existence that was helping Nehmeisa, right?

When I asked for confirmation, I nodded.

"Exactly"

"Do you have any hands?

"The same goes for who he is, but I think there are a lot of things missing. Anyway, more than just being a mighty opponent, this one should be dealt with by pooling the corresponding forces."

"Gathering…"

"It's the story that helps as a way to do it. The first one...... the protagonist took possession of weapons of various races and defeated his enemies. The enemy seems to be the same as the one we ran into... but I don't know if he's with us to the extent of his power."

"How did you take him down?

To ask Anastasia, I looked up into the night sky,

"The protagonist, who was a human being, obtained weapons from various races. Spirit's sword, dragonman's spear. Demon Bow on Angel Shield. And the wand of the wise… I mean, I got the weapons of those who exist in this world, and I defeated them"

"Do the same thing in this battle...?

"Oh... there are two similar weapons to the story at the moment, but its power is more than the story"

That's what I said. I pointed to Sophia.

"The sword of the Spirit, for example. This is the sword that united the powers of the spirits that existed in the story… in reality, it has become a more powerful weapon"

Sophia looked at her right hand. There, the sword of the Divine Spirit is sealed.

"The same goes for the dragonman's spear. A weapon made by bringing together the power of Dragon Demon Stone… it undoubtedly has the power to draw a line with the object of the story"

"By the same token, this one didn't possess a powerful weapon."

I snorted at Anastasia's words.

"Well, it may not necessarily be necessary to align… and I have an idea, for example, to ask the spirits to prepare all kinds of weapons"

"Around here, let's promise to cooperate."

Garc emerges and a reliable word. I snorted,

"Nevertheless, Demons and Angels... there are many other reasons to look into these two races besides getting weapons"

"What's that?

To Sophia's question, I keep putting my arms together.

"Why did angels leave ruins on our continent and this one... and the Demons? No, the Demon King. The words of the demon king who invaded our continent... I think it has something to do with the existence that was empowering Nehmeisa this time."
