Sword of the Philosopher

As successive angels fall into heaven, no way even Shen the leader - soon after staring and being heartily stunned, black magic begins to take shape and elephant like wings. And that's not one or two pieces. Three, four, and a further number begin to increase, transforming into what can be termed alien.

The magic that emanates further is out of standard with other angels… Apparently this is...

"If you are going to fall into heaven, you seem to strengthen your powers in proportion to the magic you possess."

Gark says. I had the same view.

"This is... just not good"

As I confront Lesbail with Shen, I call on the other angels.

"Retreat once!

"Huh...?

"Keep your distance and see how it goes. If the others become even more corrupt, report them immediately!

It's not a good idea to keep retreating like this. I just have to ask you to stay here for one second and see what happens, beyond knowing what causes you to be a fallen angel.

"Sophia! I'll stop Mr. Shen with me and Resvail, so shoot in the magic!

"Okay!

Accepted, she immediately begins a magical chant. I stood with Resbail to intercept Shen, who had turned into an alien.

My purpose is to keep it down. You only have to avoid inadvertently knocking them down, and you need to respond immediately if you act strangely. I don't know what I would do as a result of a rampage. First, wait till Sophia's ready.

The arrow tip, Shen barked. Is it also painful due to a situation that is encroached upon by magic, or is it another factor... The next action I took was an assault on me.

Definitely being unreasonable - judging by that, I was the first to take his offense. In its hands, like the angels who fought earlier, there is pitch-black clumping around. It took shape like a sword and clashed.

Zuo - The sound of the wind sucking in comes from the pitch black. Considerable magic was concentrated, and other angels would have been killed instantly.

But I've been walking through the training ground, and I can fight it even if it's reinforced... I want to buy time on the brink, but I don't necessarily have to show unexpected behavior -

"Master Luon!

Her screaming from the rear. At the same time, when I forced Shen back, he fled to the side.

For a moment, an empty light bullet hits Shen's chest directly - just like before, it's a 'soul breaker' that only sharpens magic. Now that the black magic has disappeared earlier, he should clean up as well.

But things go in an unexpected direction...... the empty light bullets may have allowed Shen's magic to be greatly sharpened, but still the opponent is moving.

"Dear Luon, this is..."

"It doesn't seem to be enough yet. Sophia, do it again -"

When I was about to say it, a tremendous amount of magic erupted from Shen. Obviously a different look than before. I mean it... no, it's possible that...

"The magic of a fallen angel has begun to erode the magic inherent in Lord Shen."

Gark says. Pretty troublesome, apparently.

"If the black magic merged with the original magic, he would be a complete fallen angel. I won't be able to help you."

"You mean we have to do something about it by then...... now we can still make it?

"The pitch-black magic is currently eroding his body, but it has not reached the depths of his body. It is difficult to assert because it is unclear with what logic Fallen Heaven began, but if only the magic on the surface of the body can be blown away, it is possible '

"Then we'll have to... Sophia!

She begins the chant without saying anything to everyone. The operation to contain Shen has already been decided. And then if Shen doesn't make an unexpected move...

He's coming at me. This one works with Resbail to increase the magic power of sleeping in your body and start preparing magic.

Simultaneous attack with Sophia blows up the dark magic at once...... that kind of prospect but does it work well to fulfill it?

Either way, we have to do it!

The magic preparations are over. Even more, he is forced to push back Shen, who is obstinately attacking him, and he sees a kick. Lesbail's sword swept away in pursuit, slamming the target with the belly of his sword. This leads to a slight tread, Shen.

In that gap, me and Sophia activate magic -!!

"With my power - defeat the Devil's Sanctuary!

At the same time as my words are released, an empty light bullet is fired out. Sophia exercises the same magic again, and two magics - fly to Shen.

For a moment, Shen takes the magic into his hands. But the simultaneous attack between me and Sophia was unprotected, the defense was played, and the light bullet hit my body directly.

"- Aaaaaaaa!"

Shortly afterwards, Shen screams if it's a scream. I started chanting further here to loosen my hands - it seemed that Sophia was the same, activating the same magic again one step sooner!

An empty light bullet pierces Shen once in a while. And not to mention Todome. My magic hit Shen - the combined light bullets even created something like a fire column rising into the sky.

There shouldn't be any physical damage, but there was also a little anxiety about the unexpected power...... but when the light crushed, Shen had lost all his pitch-black wings and stood down on the spot.

Temporary silence wraps around him... turning to him in silence, I inquired.

"... okay, is it?

Besides, Shen raised his face and threw his powerless eyes,

"Somehow, though... if it weren't for you both, we would probably have wiped it out"

He replied so - the battle was finally over.

Shen decided to wait here and ask me and Sophia to liaise with Devals as "our actions do not necessarily create further fallen angels". As for the two of us, there are no physical abnormalities, and we can assume that pitch black magic works only for angels... regardless, see if there are any pitch black magic fragments in the body to prevent it from affecting Devals... to the nearest town.

That's where Devals waited. We'll rent a room at the banquet liaison office and finish the report.

"Sounds like it's been tough... Fallen Heaven, huh?"

Devals putting his hand on his mouth and thinking about it. That's what I ask him.

"The dispatched angels are not moving from the battlefield. I'm just making sure it's okay."

"That's a hard decision. Don't worry about them. Deal appropriately"

"... In the end, what was it called a celestial demon?

When questioned, Devals shrugged his shoulders.

"One thing I can say is, apparently, that the celestial devil created the trigger for fallen heaven. I'm going to find out how it works."

"What do we do now?

"I want you to fight the same. There is also the possibility that angels cannot be used against the devil in this case. Ask Mr. Leon's people to help, maybe."

"If you want to prevent fallen heaven, that's the only way."

"Oh......"

Devals narrowed his eyes to troubles and eventually,

"... Rostaldo may not simply invade the heavens"

"What's that?

"I'm pretty sure we're moving toward heaven...... but even if we fight like this, we lose by numbers, etc. That's why I can't help but take in a fallen angel... the worst thing that ever happened to us who are angels."

It's not good for angels not to figure it out...

"Anyway, there's still time for Rostaldo to issue a reconnaissance. Next up in a few days. You have to have some attitude by then."

"Then what?

To this question, Devals grinned.

"Train Mr. Luon's people to fight the demons and find out why we've fallen apart... now, don't get too busy"

- The respite is only for a few days. Tough, but we just have to do it before we fight Rothald.

"I'm counting on you two."

Devals calls. Me and Sophia snorted deeply as a sign of willingness to leave it to me.
