Sword of the Philosopher

I could have come from a crumbling castle to the forest at the foot without any trouble... but I don't know when or when the enemy will attack me because I don't know what the situation is in the demonic world. You have to be careful.

"This way."

While I think about it, Croix leads the way in the beast path without getting lost... Ange follows behind him, me and Sophia follow the rear of the two.

I've been going silently for a while... but Ange was taken by the grass by the pretense.

"Wow."

Sophia supports her where she's going to be in danger.

"Are you all right?

"... yeah. Thanks."

"Sorry, Ange"

Croix tells him he looks sorry...... has the signs hardened a little since he went into the woods?

Approaching the safe house, the ministers may have once again wondered if they were safe. Or have you put your mind to the battle that is about to begin? For whatever reason, it's not like when I was in the castle. I can see you're nervous.

Though, as for this one, it's hard to say "let's get out of my shoulder"...... I've just gotten to know him in the first place, and maybe he's nervous about something he hasn't told me or Sophia.

"Mr. Croix, let's move on"

Sophia tells her after Ange regains her position. Croix nodded again and turned forward.

And the journey begins again...... but the silence is slightly heavier.

I wonder if we should distract ourselves by talking about it... etc.

"... it doesn't have to be now"

Croix has spoken to the lid.

"If it's all right, can you tell me what kind of journey you've been

"I don't mind, but you have a reason to want to know?

"Simply interested...... why are you trying to 'God' in the first place"

"... well, sooner or later,"

Sooner or later - after I have a relationship of trust with him, I guess.

We were even going through the woods with that in mind... but eventually we fell out. And what I saw were rivers flowing from the mountains and rock skin. It was just that the direction to the mountain was filled with trees, and it felt like a natural fortress.

"... from the moment I understood that this was the demonic world, I thought,"

And, Sophia opens her mouth.

"You're far from what I imagined... I didn't expect this kind of nature to spread"

"There's a reason for this nature"

And Croix started talking.

"These kinds of nature, terrain, etc. are not inherent in the demonic world, but are said to have been transferred from the world in which you live"

"Transfer the continent……!?"

Sophia sounded stunned. Hmm, I was a little surprised inside too... here's one question.

"So you're saying you moved the original continent to this place at its roots?

"Roots, that's different. We cut a part of the land and transferred it to this world, from where the Demon King himself increased the land… The trees that spread like this were native to the land that the Demon King had originally transferred"

"I see. It's just lame to say that you created it all the way to land..."

Once again, I recognize that the Demon King was the bearer of extraordinary power.

"And that's kind of weird. Though for his fellow Demons, he created this space on his own..."

"Indeed."

Sophia agrees.

"Because I thought the image we have of the Demon King and the Demon Nation was meant for those who destroy and destroy the world."

"There seems to be some reason why we cut off a part of the continent."

Croix says. I lean my neck against it,

"Do you have a basis?

"Not sure, but the continent on which this demon kingdom originated seemed to be in conflict at the time... and as a result the kingdom of men was destroyed and the demon king held a part"

"Doesn't that mean that the war was the work of the Demon King?

"Apparently not... but there is only literature from the Demon King's side on that point, so maybe the truth lies elsewhere"

"If it was true, does that mean there's something going on?

"Could be"

Hmm, don't worry about the formation of this continent either...... though, does that have nothing to do with sage or god?

"If you get a chance, do you want to look around? Evidence that civilizations have been built on this continent in the past... because there are ruins."

"Oh, please... that brings the mountain closer, but as for the means of communication with the minister..."

"Coming Soon"

Croix walks out along the river. We will follow it and often watch his actions.

A little while later, a large rock existed on the banks of the river. When Croix went near it, he began to touch the rock somehow.

"Sure, put your hands on this..."

Whimpering and often working. Eventually magic emanated from his palm. If you do something while touching the rocks, does that mean you can get in touch with the safe house?

Well, what happens... I looked at Sophia. She nods instantly. Croix said it was okay, but it's unknown how the minister would react to me and her. Therefore, stay in a position where you can respond.

A little... I heard something coming from the mountain. And then what voice...... no, roar?

"Could it be now... the devil?

"It would be a demon led by a minister"

"... confirmation, you're okay, aren't you?

"Oh, whatever."

Confident, but fulfilling - then there comes a demon with wings spread over the sky. It was quite large, and after swirling over the sky once... something like a shadow - jumped.

"To?"

shrugs unintentionally. At the same time, a flying presence landed and made a huge noise.

Is that supposed to be the old general in black armor? He is a knight with gray hair and his stern face clearly drifts the signs of being a samurai.

"... Dear Croix"

"Oh, Zemun. Are you okay?"

When Croix called, the knight - Zemun knelt.

"Safe and above all... apparently the crisis has left"

"The castle and the town are all broken... Both me and Ange are safe. Zemun, who else?

"We are healing wounds in the safe house. But many of the generals are scattered, and they are lost."

"That was all the battle, that's all there is to it... and you have the strength to fight, right?

"Yes, move as soon as Lord Croix tells you to."

That's it, Zemun turned his neck to me and Sophia.

"Are these people - human, are they?

"Alert, you don't."

When this one gives his candid thoughts, Zemun smiles,

"For the most part, Mr. Ange's ability has allowed Mr. Croix to accompany him."

… Ange's abilities are also recognized as an absolute force for ministers.

"Dear Croix, these men have come because demons no longer exist in the woods."

"Yeah, but I need them to cooperate in the fight."

Croix speaks - and Zemun opened his eyes.

"You two?

"I possess as much power as I can get for it"

... maybe we'll talk about our qualities, are you okay? It seems that Ange's prophetic abilities make him hostile, but I think the fact that he just defeated the Demon King is heavy.

"Well, let's hear more about it."

I hear Zemun talks here. Does that mean I can't show you to the safe house until I hear what's going on?

And Croix starts talking - me and Sophia got to watch things change.
