Sword of the Philosopher
Preparation and invitation
Ever since we met Devals, we've been working even more closely with angels to defeat Villeser. Even so, the angels did everything they could to prepare, so we started with those who were prepared to fight fallen angels.
"Villaiser is probably a front-line commander."
Devals tells us - the day we were somewhat ready, we had an operational meeting before we took a break at the inn. It's me, Sophia and Romilda who listen to him, Richard. By the way, there's no Nell.
"Rothald is unlikely to emerge, but we will be on alert. I am also concerned about the trend of the Anverate, but sometimes I am forced to step in this time. If you come, you can detect it here, and it shouldn't be a problem."
"You'll be separated if you come, and it doesn't look like it's going to do you much good if you take it down"
Richard's thoughts. Devals nodded deeply at it.
"Well, if you're going to be quiet, I'd like you to go straight home... well, let me explain the destruction of the Villaiser now"
Roughly ten days have passed since I met him...... in the meantime I have all kinds of protective equipment and so on, in fact Sophia and Romilda are equipped with it in their arms. It also looks like a mere accessory, but looks like its high-performance protective gear.
"First I go into the demonic nest, and I go to paint the magic formation. Enough to weaken demons and affect the ground as well. The villagers should be producing demons sequentially, but this magic greatly reduces the amount of temper drifting through the atmosphere. Generating demons weakens them if they are not angry. If you are preparing to invade the heavens, it is a matter of concern. It should move bigger and smaller."
"Does it mean that the person that Villaiser is after is Devals?
When this one asks, he shrugs his shoulder.
"I don't know. Let's change the way they do it, depending on how they get out. Proceed, but at the same time prepare the metastasis seal as the magic activation. If we use magic together, he won't be able to move from the ground up. Just get ready and I'll use it when I show up on the ground"
The basic policy is to wait for the other person to come out... but Sophia raised her hand here.
"Are you sure you want to accompany us?
"Absolutely. You're giving me the armor, aren't you? With that, we can withstand the Villaiser attack, and even you will be able to respond."
By the way, it is also given to participants in banquets that fought fallen angels such as Serga and Eina. I'm trying to make sure whoever's after me doesn't have a problem.
"You can't be sure until you know exactly who you're going to attack. Let everyone prepare for what they deserve, and then it's best to follow the flow on the battlefield."
And the gaze goes here.
"After entering the nest, but in case the villagers show up, place the faces, starting with Mr. Leon, at the stronghold. So, I'm on my own... this is also for building magic formations. When someone is nearby during the prep phase, extra magic mixes up. I'm sure I'll be alone until I'm ready."
"If Villaiser were to aim, at what time?
"Right... the procedure for creating the magic formation is to prepare alone, emit magic and build the magic formation when it is complete... I will be defenseless myself during construction, and when I enter this stage, I will no longer have to be alone, so I will turn Nell and others into escorts. From the villagers, it's best to set it up while you're alone in preparation... and that's what I expect the timing of the raid to be"
"What if he doesn't come?
To this inquiry, Devals shrugged his shoulders,
"It's a failure. If magic succeeds properly, it will be difficult to produce any more demons in that demonic nest, and it is a good achievement."
"What do you expect to destroy the Magic Formation?
"How can you physically not do this? If we find it impossible to deal with it, the Villagers might move somewhere else."
"... do you use magic for another demonic nest in the same way?
"Because this magic interferes with the atmosphere and the earth, it also affects ecosystems and so on. Maintaining magic for a prolonged period of time may create other harms that you can't even anticipate. I hope you don't use it anywhere else."
And here he is temporarily silent. So I asked one thing.
"My offense, do you think it'll work?
"You've got everything ready to work, haven't you? Don't worry, you'll definitely succeed"
I don't know how to say that... No, let's not.
"If a villager emerges, perform a metastasis seal and stop the motion from sewing. Ideally, Mr. Leon or Mr. Sophia will come and destroy me while I'm at it, because I'm likely to be the first to fight."
"I'll do my best"
Sofia's clear statement. Devals said, "Please," with a word,
"Appearing elsewhere doesn't change the basic policy. The winning chance is twelve minutes away. So say hello."
I'm done talking. It will be dissolved and will mean waiting in this town until the day of the operation.
Shortly after Devals left the room, it was Richard who opened his mouth.
"I'm leaving a message, as an example. I'm sorry."
"Richard asked me to create a demon. Because you might need it sooner or later."
Copy that.
"Dear Luon, I see you've been training with Mr. Devals for the past ten days, have you finished it?
Sofia question. I laughed.
"It's done... but Mr. Devals seems confident, because the way he does it is special. It's unclear if you're going to succeed in production."
"Are you okay?
"Well, when this happens, we'll have to do it... what about Sophia and Romilda like that?
"I've learned a whole lot about how to use protective equipment, and I don't think I have a problem with how to handle it"
Romilda, next to Sophia, nods as she agrees with Kokukoku.
"Oh well. As for Mr. Devals' step, it feels like me or Sophia's move is like a trump card... well that guy will attack himself, and he doesn't seem to be able to do anything about it if I fail. I just want to make sure there are no casualties."
So I see Sophia and Romilda. I don't think you have to worry......
We'll be fine.
Sophia replied so. I got my head in a gutter,
"Ok, I'll trust you there...... now let's call it a dissolution"
"Yes."
Richard and Romilda take their seats. The rest of us, me and Sophia, were silent for a little while.
"Master Luon, you're kind of a bummer"
"Join the feast and discover the fallen angel... you're not busy. Oh, speaking of which, where's Eina?
"I'm working with Eina and Alto on the armor lectures."
"Oh well. They're in too... So, that's okay, right?
"Yes."
After the reply, silence again. I said something. That's right...
"... so, Master Luon"
"Oh."
"Looks like I'm going to be spending the next few days in this town, and I guess it's a good idea to train, but I've been busy, so I thought I'd take a break."
"Yeah, that would be nice, too. Sometimes you just keep putting your shoulders into it until the showdown."
"... So, it is"
Upbeat, she says, as she tries to spy on me.
"Can't we hope to hang out for a day?
... abrupt demands. I don't usually say these things, and suddenly I wondered what was going on - I immediately guessed.
"Sophia."
"Yes, sir"
"You were told to go around Callum."
Piong, and Sophia with a bouncing shoulder. Oh, yeah, sounds like the right answer.
"Uh..."
"Sometimes I need a change of mood, and I've been working so hard for the fight that I should do something about it."
"... Correct. I'm sorry, did I make you care the other way around?
But well... I guess that's good sometimes.
"Oh, I'm happy with the suggestion itself. If Sophia wants to, I think I'll take the suggestion."
"Is that true? Then..."
"Except"
And I looked into Sophia's eyes,
"If it was Caln who suggested it, it would definitely be a peek somewhere. Somehow I can imagine that diagram. Therefore, we will take measures to do so."
"Measures, is it?
"Oh."
Instead, as a Caln, isn't the purpose of peeking...... so let's go around the whole thing a little bit.
"Tomorrow morning, do you mind if we meet in front of the inn?
And Sophia nodded - it was going to be bone rest tomorrow.
