Sword of the Philosopher

Zemun started roaring after Croix explained everything about us.

"I see... the circumstances of Lord Luon and Lord Ange's prophetic abilities... with those two things, I can trust you even here"

unexpectedly favorable rating. But there's more to Zemun.

"However, you must explain the situation to the others before entering the safe house."

"Can't the others trust you two?

"No, it is the minister who will obey Lord Croix at his discretion… but if you are not aware of Lord Luon and his men, you will cause unnecessary confusion."

- In the meantime, it doesn't seem like paying in front of the door is an atmosphere.

"I'll come back once and talk to you."

"- What if it means you can't accept me into a safe house?

Question from here. Croix answered that.

"I'll do something on my authority."

"No, you're talking about not trusting us, aren't you? Even if Croix ordered it, the suspicions would have to be dispelled."

"It's all right there"

Such a reply...... well, do I have to trust him more than he says?

"I don't need time to do that."

Zemun tells Croix.

Please wait here for a moment.

Zemun raised his hand gently. What reacted to that was the demon that was swirling over the sky. Suddenly he flew in, and the water on the riverbank jumped when the giant landed.

Besides, Zemun rides... in this case I wouldn't call it riding, etc. The devil flies when I'm thinking about what doesn't matter. I quickly became invisible from my sight.

"Leave it to Zemun, he'll be fine."

... Sounds like I trust you, but how about fulfilling it? After all, I can't put them on trust if they're demons... or based on what we've done, don't be alarmed.

Anyway, we're going to have to wait here... so we've been waiting a lot on the riverbank.

In time, maybe thirty minutes...... I saw a demon in the air and slowly stepped down here.

"... only Zemun jumped at first for a reason?

Somehow I inquired, Zemun looked serious,

"Strangers...... because you were there, the devil got a little concerned. But after time, it became okay."

Oh, yeah. Sure don't like being attacked with that.

"Dear Croix, we've been through this, so there's no more problems."

"Okay. Mr. Luon, Mr. Sophia, let's go."

"Oh."

So, the way to get around from here sounds like a demon... I never imagined the day would come to ride on the back of the demon created by the demon clan.

Flying, we were able to see the scene of the demonic world from above… we can see the castles and towns of Croix that collapsed in the distance… plus apparently a town in the far east.

"Really, you can't imagine this place being a demon world without being told,"

Sophia shares her thoughts. I agreed and snorted deeply.

Based on the birth history of this demonic world that Croix told us, I can understand that it is not so different from the world we live in… Again, I think that in this place where the demons live, it is apparently the kind of business that humans live in. Although we have visited heaven before, heaven has been somewhat of a fantastic place, but the demonic realm is close to our world.

The devil turns his path to the mountains. The mountains were no different from the world we live in, and the grandeur of nature existed there.

Eventually, the devil descends in the middle of the mountain. There were a few demons there, waiting to see if they were picking them up.

"Dear Mr. Croix, I hope you're safe."

"Oh."

A leading Demon clan speaks up and Croix responds… a gentlemanly Demon clan with red hair and glasses. He smiled softly, not like a quizza, and glanced at me and Sophia and showed a glimpse of gratitude.

"We're talking, we're asking. Some of you will think of our demons who raided the continent… we appreciate their bravery and appreciate your cooperation again."

"... we have to get out of the demon world fast. He interpreted it better to work with Croix for that, and thus joined hands. At least we're not hostile... but can you trust me?

"Whatever."

It was a powerful reply. Somehow I wonder if there's a back because I'm a demon... hmm, this one's a suspicious ghost.

Or if the Demons are thankful for our cooperation, if we're weirdly suspicious, we're kind of sorry.

"At present, it would be impossible to trust them fully"

Croix opens his mouth to the lid.

"I fought a fierce battle with the Demon King. It's more natural to be vigilant, and this one understands that"

"Are you trying to say that building trust is going to be...

"That's right. If anyone does harm, tell me. Respond immediately."

"... ok"

I admitted, and Sophia nodded small.

Then we traveled along the mountain skin and caved in. Inside is a stone labyrinth, and the lights are not inconvenient for walking because they exist.

Through the aisle, we went out into a wide space. There, even though the Demon tribe... was greeted with faces that were no different from the appearance of human beings, all of whom uniformly expressed their gratitude to Croix. Twenty or so people?

"... Welcome and hard work. And I'm sorry that I'm in this situation."

Croix speaks... The demons are upright and listening to Croix.

"But from here... we start fighting back. All of you, inscribe that in your hearts and get ready."

The demons simultaneously raised their voices of consent and began to move... morale sounds high.

"Croix, was it all the demons that were there?

He nodded at the inquiry.

"Some of you will be working, but there are about thirty of us here, including Zemun and the others"

"So you fought back..."

"We don't need numbers in our battle... and numbers make up for it with servants"

Servant...... you mean the devil.

If we can generate such a demon, it's certainly not a problem on the number... it's just that we can say the same thing to our enemies, and in the end it doesn't make a difference that we're a few.

How to fill that hole......

"Zemun, Foscia, let's get into the meeting quickly"

Croix calls. Foscia - a red-haired demon tribe agrees yes,

"I have a room for you. Master Luon and the others are with us."

"Oh."

Take that leg to the back of the cave. The room passed through is also a boneless stone room, can't you help but catch your breath?

In the center there is one wooden table. Foscia put a map there, and we stood there trying to surround it. Zemun then opens his mouth.

"So shall we begin... Dear Croix, do you have any idea what the battle is going on?

"I thought I'd start with that explanation"

"I'll explain… but before I do, I need to explain to Mr. Luon and the others what's going on so far."

"I know how the fight happened, so I don't mind if you move on."

"Really...... then, are you sure?

When this one nods to Zemun's inquiry,

"So from the description of the current situation… Dear Croix, no damage has been done so far other than the castle and the castle town. However, the crisis is imminent."

"Are you coming to figure out we're alive and stab Todome?

"The opponent is not the one who raided the castle. The Raiders… have already been defeated by the impending Demons"

In other words, there are more enemies looming than destroyed castles and towns, he said.

"Then I will explain… please listen carefully -"
