Sword of the Philosopher

Once we get back into the cave, we head to the dragon without hesitation.

I'll defend you. Sophia and the others will attack.

"Then Master Luon will not be able to earn a martial arts medal..."

To Sophia's words, I said, "No problem."

I'll give it to Sophia and the others this time.

"But..."

"I have plenty of room to test my magic... there are few escapes in the cave, and I'd better respond with tactics that will definitely hold me back"

to that opinion...... Sophia replied "OK,"

"Romilda, are you okay?

"Yeah."

"Okay, that's why..."

And where the dragon is where I said it would be. When the light shines, the dragon still stands.

Then the next moment, I raised my roar. He seems motivated.

"Let's go with the same method of warfare as just now. I can verify what Alto and the others said about cleverness."

If you have a clear intelligence, then there must be some reaction if I form a barrier - and with that certainty, the battle began.

A dragon spreads its wings and flies this way. Even so, since it's in the cave, it doesn't fly heavenly, does it feel like setting a goal here and skiing?

On the other hand, I'll fight it with barriers. My magic made it easy to deal with the attack earlier - the dragon was still hit by a barrier and bounced off.

The dragon has only acted foolishly... but lifted the barrier while whining in his chest. Sophia and Romilda's magic bursts -!

Thunder strike and purple light. Both of them capture dragons brilliantly and dye up the cave. A swirl of light even occurred, from which a dragon's cry was heard.

Damage is guaranteed. An atmosphere that doesn't seem to be higher than the giant beasts that fought in the woods, although I don't know how much endurance it has. Sure, it's a mighty demon, but from us, it doesn't seem hard to destroy.

Now, is there a change in the behavior of the dragon... thinking about it, the reinstated dragon opened his mouth wide. Flaming braces...

I'm just forming a barrier. At the same time, the flames flew towards us.

Fire burns behind the barrier and hides the dragon... here I call Resbail. Immediately perform magic detection to see where the dragon is.

"What are the chances of blinding the flames and leaving once?

Sofia's opinion. I nodded and confirmed. Fulfilling...

"... it's a bingo"

Sophia's right, she's trying to hide away from us. Most of all, the cave is huge, but there's no room for dragons to hide themselves. What to do.

A dragon emitted strong magic only for a moment as it was performing magic detection in Resvail. After checking the place, the flames subside. When you lift the barrier and look around,

"... you're not here"

Sophia says. I nodded and turned to where Lesbail had detected me.

A corner of a cave covered in pitch black, near the ceiling. It's a place where the lights don't arrive, so it can't be seen.

"... I can't even see it from here, so guess what."

Gark speaks to the lid.

"Even if it's illuminated with lights, you may not be able to see dragons by simulating them."

"Pseudomorphic?"

'Didn't you decide it was impossible to compete with a positive offense and think of ambushing you?

Oh, sure... I turned my face to Sophia,

"I know where you are, but what do we do?

"Shall we let the magic go and see how it goes?"

I told Sophia where the dragon was, and she unleashed 'Lightning'. A thunderbolt rips through the cave and hits the dragon directly...

And I didn't hit thoughts or lightning strikes. Resbail felt a little swayed by magic, so apparently he avoided it.

"... I see, are we constantly observing trends over here"

"Doesn't that bother you? Do you use advanced magic?

"No... this is Romilda"

"What?"

"Something I'd like you to try once."

... I was able to give the giant beast a decisive hit in Sophia's "Spirit World". Then it's time to test Romilda's abilities.

"There's also a way to attack a dragon by releasing magic so widely that you can't even afford to avoid it, besides identifying its position and attacking it."

"You mean it creates so much light that you can't escape?

"Correct."

- She nodded and began to concentrate her consciousness. Then the dragon responds or roars.

Nevertheless, if the dragon sets it up, it naturally has to be relative to my magic barrier. Because I know that, or the dragon doesn't move either.

And Romilda's power is freed. Our surroundings - so much so that it filled them - produced so much light.

Its light brightly illuminates the cave towards the dragon - shortly afterwards, a roar occurs. The dragon said... he hit it straight and heard the roar.

"Well, what do we do?

I thought sooner or later even as I remained hidden... the dragon went down to the ground with Dosun.

Then raise your shouts and intimidate this one. Don't come, but are you trying to tell me?

"... what do you do?

Sophia asks. I keep my eyes on the dragon,

"I won't change the operation. Sophia, Romilda, get ready."

For a moment, the flames are upon us. After plainly preventing it on the barrier, he caught the dragon ignoring the flames and storming them.

As soon as possible, a dragon hits the barrier. I thought I'd be bounced off, stomped on and set up more hits. Are you trying to physically break...? Nevertheless, the barrier is not yawning enough to break with such a thing.

Or - the moment one guess comes to mind, Sophia's voice.

"Master Luon, you can do it!

Immediately remove the barrier. Immediately afterwards, light is emitted on the front of Sofia.

This is' GUNGNIL 'or - light attribute advanced magic converges, which brings tremendous magic and strikes dragons!

Enemies cannot be avoided and receive decent. It was the chest that hit me. Then the light plays. Goaaaaa - and decides the body of the dragon with the roar.

Then the light of Romilda pierces. Both sides' attacks burst...... eventually, the dragon collapses.

"Did you knock him down?

Immediately after Romilda shrugged, further growling. I still have the fighting spirit.

"Sophia, make up your mind"

"Yes!"

With the reply Sophia releases Todome's 'Divine Road'. When the thunderbolt struck the dragon directly, a pillar of light arose in the cave around the enemy.

An awesome sound in my ear, like it was a lightning strike. I felt the dragon scream in it, but it was all erased too.

When the light broke, there was one black charcoal extinguishing body where the dragon was... it also eventually collapsed and the dragon disappeared without a trace.

"... you're done"

Breathe. Compared to the giant beast, it still didn't seem to have high endurance.

"It was a troublesome dragon, but more importantly without injury"

Romilda also nods at Sophia's words.

"In the words of Mr. Ignos, there is a further temper in the back..."

"Oh, let's figure that out. And..."

I think back and tell about the dragon's actions.

"When the dragon started attacking you after you hid, you tried to force me to break my barrier, didn't you?

"Yes, that sounds like it"

"Somehow, but that seems like something that exists manipulating dragons was doing intentionally... checking the durability of my barriers, or something"

"Intentionally...?

"If only there was a manipulative presence, but"

It was just a close thought in my mind to certainty. The presence of manipulating dragons… you can think of it as possessing more power than manipulating the most advanced class of demons.

We'll check the cave. As a result, we discovered a place from one of them that emits even higher concentrations of annoyance.

"Let's go."

"Yes."

Sophia nodded at my words - going to the back of the cave.
