Sword of the Philosopher

The moment I was uncomfortable with Alan, my body would decipher the magic currents at will and half instinctively wave my sword. And the moment I played what I was after, I looked at it unexpectedly.

What I played was - Alan's sword. Even so, I'm not the target. It's

"Come on!"

Immediate retreat. Sophia also noticed or immediately pulled back, and Anverate also retreated greatly.

Rostaldo doesn't move. No, you can keep an eye on what's going on here.

"... although I'm not sure"

Anverate opens his mouth.

"Is there a reason you targeted me?

Yes, the spearhead of Alan's sword trident was her.

If, for example, this is being manipulated by Rothald, I can still tell. The situation is strange because I think I have arrived on the battlefield and have not been affected.

I don't think Alan, for example, is working with Rostaldo. That would be strange if we hadn't moved on to action at the time of our first arrival - rather, that would have definitely been our chance to tail us. The fact that he targeted the moment he missed it and dared to tie it off probably avoided sudden behavior because he didn't know what attitude Rostaldo would take.

"... Now, what about you?

Rostaldo asks. As for this one...... how do I get it right?

"There's only one thing I'll tell you. This is only a guess, but it's probably for sure"

Rostaldo, who told him so, continues with even a grin.

"A swordsman named Alan... he came here, but he was probably in heaven, too? Was it Devals, the head of heaven, or an angel close to him?"

He glances at Alan. His expression was bitter.

He must have come here to slaughter the others.

- It was something I wouldn't imagine.

"No, if you had any idea, it might not have been slashed."

"... Sophia, go back now and make sure"

My instructions. She toured,

"If that's the case, it's possible Eina and the others are destroying the magic formations they're going back to, etc. If you leave it in that state..."

"Ok, ok......!

Turn back immediately. It hurts under the circumstances, but it's a priority to check whether it's cheap or not.

"Well, that's getting very interesting"

"It's extremely unpleasant for us."

Anverate gets Alan. On the other hand, he keeps his distance and looks at this and Rostaldo's trends.

"What are you going to do?

"... Hmm, as far as I'm concerned, do I get to talk?

Lost Rostaldo. Is the secret and all this about Alan? Well, suppose...

"... Hmm, right. Let me tell you something."

"Stop."

Alan's sharp voice. But Rostaldo goes on as if to mock it.

"The number one feast meant I was looking into him a little… the track record is proven by the medal of martial arts, but thank goodness he defeated the demon completely alone and the way it fought was completely secret again. I mean, I was trying not to be seen by anyone."

"You think there's something wrong with the method of warfare?

Rostaldo shrugs his shoulders to my question.

"No, after I knocked him down. This guy... ate the demon."

... What?

I frown at unexpected words. It's just that Anverate seems to have understood,

"Does that mean you were absorbing the power of the demon?

"The weapons he possesses are, so to speak, objects that break down and absorb the power of demons. He kept sucking his strength with it… that's the source of his strength."

- How many big demons? I don't think it's very acceptable.

At the same time, I understand one thing. The weapon, if...

"Nevertheless. Perhaps a human vessel… and a weapon vessel came to its limits as well. It is not infinite when it comes to infinity. That's why I had to get a bigger vessel. There's one way."

If you say so much, I could understand what you mean.

"... take away the power of an angel or a fallen angel and get that vessel too"

"That's the thing. I told him because it seemed more interesting for him to move and stir me up, but wouldn't that be interesting?

- In other words, the aim is a vessel different from a human being. He's the one who kept taking away the power of the demon. It's not strange to set a goal for a fallen angel.

"Nevertheless, it would not be good if he acted suddenly...... as far as he was concerned, he would have wanted to take away the power around the head of the heavenly world. But I decided the guard was tougher than I expected."

Perhaps Romilda's advice worked.

"As a result, I set my aim for Anverate... as for the bottom line, is this the place"

Alan is silent. The gentle smile disappears, and now he's just looking to eat Rostaldo with us.

"The reason for my defeat is that you let me have information, and that you are more powerful than I thought, and that you failed even with your intentions"

Rostaldo speaks with an eye on me.

"Well, things have been chaotic... how do we get out of here? Do you still want to beat me? Or do you want to kill a swordsman named Alan?

- I'm not sure what Rostaldo was doing with the Heavenly Devil, nor why. I don't even know what would happen if I let it go wild here.

But it's also hard to leave Alan alone. More than this has happened, he would also be a part of the escape. It is possible to follow, but then to leave Rostaldo alone.

"Two choices."

Anvelate squeaks. Yes, that's just how difficult it is to follow them both in this situation.

"Nevertheless, I still have my hands. Mr. Leon, I'll go after Rostaldo."

"You think you can win?

"This isn't going to be such a stupid idea under the circumstances. But, well, you think you can get away with it?

Suspicious grin. That face in this situation is a lot of help.

"Mr. Leon, run after Mr. Alan."

"... okay?

"Don't worry, I won't do anything reckless either... gone"

At the moment of that word, a magic formation is born beneath Alan's feet. I thought it was metastatic magic or something, but apparently not pure physical strengthening abilities.

Naturally, it is used to escape - I briefly tell Anverate to "please" and exercise the magic of movement. Start chasing runaway Alan.

Dark temper in the rear. Turning only for a moment, I caught eyes on the amberate trying to chase the fleeing Rostaldo.

Now I just have to trust her...... I even go after Alan. The move is more than expected, and it does turn out to be a considerable enhancement of power.

The problem is that Rostaldo told us that he killed the Devals... and if this is true, he took away their powers too? I keep going after Alan even as my doubts swell. As an opponent, he seems to want to squeeze the power he can have and get away with it, but that's exactly what I won't let him do either.

Eventually - Alan stopped when he put a lot of distance from the battlefield. Surrounded by meadows. It is a space without shields, nor is it popular.

"… it seems difficult to escape"

Turn around. There's a determined face there.

"How dare you take me down?"

"I know you're at a glance. But."

Eject magic. Indeed, the signs are not comparable to those of a regular person.

"I don't want to waste too much power...... it seems I have to do it"

I just have to fight - and at the same time I squeeze my sword, I think. Why did you end up with such a heinous act...... you have to ask that.
