Sword of the Philosopher

Eventually, before us, a new vast space appeared… but this time it was an unparalleled size.

"This is..."

Sophia groans. Spread forward are the unseen cliffs at the bottom.

I thought for a moment that if you think it's the same as a gorge like outside... but this one can't see anything in the light, and there's quite a bit of temper. I can see Romilda stopping and stiff in front of the cliff if he was drunk by the atmosphere.

"... resbail"

Summon the Spirit and perform Magic Detection. There's something down there more than a hunch... and the conclusion I've come to...

"... Sophia"

"Yes."

"According to Lesbail's detection, the ground just seems to be spreading underneath... the temper seems to be out of the ground"

"Is there no such thing as a demon?

"Sounds like it. It doesn't seem to make sense to go down there, and let's turn back."

"Okay."

Sophia glances at my expression as she replies. Guess how it goes... I don't think you're going to pursue my words here.

Then we went outside the cave once. The time is already around noon. Have lunch at the lunch box I was bringing with me, and I'll tell Sophia and the others.

"Eh, Sophia seems to have noticed at the end of the conversation... at the bottom of that cliff, there were signs"

"That's the presence of Master Luon manipulating the presumed dragon, is it?

"It was possible, so I went outside for a moment. I don't think there was a problem when they asked me."

"So much so, you mean the vigilant person?

Sophia's questioning expression is harsh.

"Enough for Master Luon to deal with it with caution?

"... that's the real deal from here. Sofia, Romilda. I'll step into the cave again, but this time I'll go alone"

"You think we can't fight that?

"I don't know who the existence is underground. I can predict that you have more power than you manipulate a dragon... but if it was buried alive in a place like that, I'd be the only one who could help."

"But..."

And, after what Sophia said, she became a strange face.

"... even with the power, there's still something missing from me"

"You mean you want to be enough to be impotent like me?

"I don't know if I can... I understand the circumstances. Be careful, Master Luon."

"Oh."

After the reply, I leave Sophia and Romilda standing up.

"Stay back in town first. If you rendezvous with Alto, he might ask you how you joined the feast or something, but I'll leave it up to Sophia to decide if you want to talk."

"Okay."

Look at Sophia, who accepted, and I turn my foot to the cave. Well.

Shortly after we get inside, we create and run Resbail. Being underground...... is it possible from here that 'he' was previously encountered on the continent of dragons?

It's just somewhat uncomfortable. Something else... seems that way.

It passes lightly where the dragon was and returns to the ground. I looked down from the top at a cliff that was pitch-black, and I watched for a while,

"... go"

I leaped into the darkness. I immediately use mobile magic and descend all at once.

At a distance...... I honestly didn't know what it felt like in the dark though. It should be pretty deep. Reaching the bottom, I detect magic through Resbail. Then,

"... there you are"

Found it right away. Dark temper ahead...... but

"You're not what you've encountered before."

Garc determines.

'Seems to have some power... but it's clearly different from the one before'

"So you can think of..."

"- You know what I mean. And you've come this far?

The voice from the other person - the sweet, confusing voice of a woman.

"You're an interesting man. And I can't believe you're bringing an angel... but it doesn't seem real."

I still don't see him. However, I feel awesome from the front... and it feels awesome.

"... you were looking at us, weren't you?

Inquiry. Then the opponent's temper wavered for a moment.

"You were manipulating that dragon with distraction or something, weren't you?

"Are you guessing that far? That's amazing."

It was a compliment, but I can also feel the atmosphere making fun of this one.

"Hey, I'm sure you're right. That dragon was manipulated by me... another thing, I created that one."

"What's the purpose?

"Hey, I don't know... I'm teasing the ones who do the jokes, something like that, maybe?

"Them?

I asked back, but there was no response. It's just that they guessed something with it.

"You're just like the person who came here to see my signs. I want to welcome you, but unfortunately, I can only kill you."

"... unfortunately, I didn't come here to get hit"

"To destroy me, I suppose?

Can you say anything else? There was an inquiry. I don't say anything, I produce a sword out of my palm.

"Oh, that sounds motivating...... but I have one unfortunate news. I'm here because I'm just a different person."

"Until we find the main unit and bring it down."

The target is silent on determination. This one can magic the sword.

"... a much more motivated swordsman."

"At least, I know you're moving demons and doing something. On this feast, there are things like trying to get in the way."

"Well, that's what I mean."

Tips and shoe sounds. The person who showed up in front of the light - a woman as sounded.

Looks like a mid twenties woman in a red coat. Characteristic is its skin. Black - even so, just pitch black. Apart from the face, it is pitch-black and gives a different atmosphere.

Moreover, its eyes are as crimson as its coat of law, giving it an atmosphere so alluring that it is illuminated by light and frizzy. Those looks look terrible in this underground and even seem fantastic.

Also, I don't have anything in my hands. But the red light runs from time to time on the nail area of the fingertips. You can think of a lot of magic enclosed in the arms themselves.

"Honest story -"

Women preface and talk.

"This is one of the few places I can walk around, so I hope you don't spread the word too much"

"... you mean kill me for mouth sealing?

"To put it bluntly, that's what happens."

... I can barely understand the expression because my skin is pitch-black, but maybe I'm laughing.

"Speaking of which, what's your name?

I answer somehow, wondering what to do with it.

"It's Luon-Maddin. What about you? You gonna tell me?

"Something happened and I got these bodies... but I think I was reborn at that time... if it was the name before that, there would be one. If you can get out of here alive, tell someone and understand what I am."

"... I mean, he said he was pretty famous before this happened"

I won't deny it.

Now my eyes moved. Definitely laughing.

"His name is Anverate. It's been a while, but it's nice to meet you."

The person who told him that - Anverate puts his right hand on it.

"Let's get started...... reckless swordsman"

At the moment of the word, a temper erupted from her.
