Sword of the Philosopher

The day of the battle came with great serenity, and we were able to proceed without any problems to the border of the territory held by Croix.

"Really, there's nothing..."

And I glance at the battlefield and squirm my thoughts - plains as far as I can see. It doesn't mean the wilderness though, the ground is full of weeds and other lush greenery. There are also hilly ups and downs on the plains everywhere, but not like they can be used in combat.

"The enemy is now heading straight south."

Zemun, who is nearby, raises his voice - there were all the forces on this side, including him and Croix, on this occasion. So much so that Ange is also there, exactly in the form of total force fights.

Nevertheless, in just three days, few demons can be generated to become soldiers either... these few are less than a hundred. What's more, even the devil didn't work out well, so he said he's likely to be lower than his opponent even on quality.

It's hopeless, but we're here to turn it upside down.

"Croix, I've got a meeting. I'm going down the street, okay?

"Oh."

Croix nods - as an operation, he kicks his enemies with the fusion magic of me and Sophia first. Then Croix and the others rush to a showdown with the enemy demon family Widels.

I know where Widels is in the enemy army with the scouts currently unleashed by Zemun... about in the middle as a position. This put me and Sophia in the arithmetic of blowing up and setting up the demon in front of Widels.

"We're still halfway there when we blow up the avant-garde, but about that, we take down Widels first, and then we're good, right?

Confirm again that Croix suggested so. He was instantly overwhelmed.

"Oh, that's fine"

It feels like he has some kind of hand... he doesn't talk.

"After we defeat the Demons, we begin the annihilation of the demons, but what about their standing around?

"Lord Luon and his men should be able to fight as usual. This is also a measure... rather than defeat Widels, there is a method. But it doesn't always work."

"You're not telling me the details because you don't know if you're going to succeed?

"That's what I'm talking about"

As the battle progresses, but you know what I mean... anyway, the operation seems to prioritize Widels destruction.

And here I captured the enemy shadow by the user demon in the sky... even though the user demon I created is noticed when he enters their territory, so he's swirling over the sky.

What you can see from that user demon is an army of pitch-black. I have no doubt that all of that is the devil, and the intimidation is considerable from human me.

"... Hmm, there's more than one demon tribe besides the devil"

I use the demon to capture its appearance.

"What do you mean, Widels' men?

"Right. Is there any other enemy besides Widels..."

"We're pretty much in the avant-garde, so it'd be easier if we magically wiped out once and for all, wouldn't it?

"Can you defeat the devil as well as the devil clan?

Confirmation inquiry. Besides, I...

"Ma, watch... Sophia, let's get started"

"Okay."

Hold hands. At the same time it emitted magic and began to synchronize with Sophia and magic.

The growing magic...... it controls to keep it from leaking outside, so it shouldn't be noticed on the Widels side. If I perceive, do I retreat or come this way... do I have to hurry until I converge my magic?

The magic convergence itself is not so difficult because it does not use the finest magic, though. I trained even the most challenging in the battle against fallen angels. Compared to that, it's not hard and there's plenty of time.

While preparing the Fusion Magic, enemy forces approach. Eventually even the naked eye was able to capture its appearance.

"... you're rolling"

Sophia squeaks at the sieve. It's definitely a roll. If it were to strike a human country, it would be nothing but despair.

"I guess in the future, I'll be face-to-face with tomorrow's army even if I don't like it. More than just keep fighting like this."

It depends on what you do about it.

And Croix opened his mouth.

"Fool, you don't have to cause war and defeat everything honestly. Some Demon King candidates try to decide which one is more appropriate by a single strike, not a war."

"Maybe it's just not harmful, but it's also a hassle"

"As far as I'm concerned, that's better."

Because I don't have to sacrifice my people, I guess.

"But isn't it tough if you don't use a lot of force to win? Are we going to be able to counteract it with reinforcement?

"This battle will be very important to make up for what is missing"

... What do you mean?

"How we stand around in the future… how we should be stronger depends on the outcome of this battle"

Yes. Even while he whines, the enemy forces gradually approach the territorial border.

In time, I'm going to be ready before I get into the border... observing with the demon of use, I was eventually able to clearly capture the figure of Widels in the center.

Gray hair that stands out among black demons. The outfit also stands like a knight, whose appearance somewhere gives him a sense of intimidation as a samurai.

"... that demon was made by Widels, wasn't it?

Somehow questioning, the answer came from Zemun.

"You won't create everything, but many of them will be the servants of Widels"

"You can't even imagine it from the outside... well, in this case it doesn't really matter what the outside looks like"

"Right. It's just about how we fight -- it's what it looks like."

"I mean, you're superior to martial arts?

"Exactly"

"That's why I must win"

Strong words spilled out of Croix's mouth.

"He also specializes in melee combat using physical enhancement, etc. It's an obstacle that must be transcended in order to be the Demon King."

"... are you sure you can win?

"Oh."

Strong words...... I'm sure absolute confidence also means inspiring myself...... do I have to believe that now?

In the meantime, Widels' army is approaching this way. He hasn't found out about us yet, but if he crosses the territorial boundaries, he's likely to notice the magic. Can you make it?

At that time, the convergence of magic was complete. I'm ready.

"Croix, this one's ready. You can always go."

"Okay. Then Wydels enters the territory and we'll have him shoot us in a little while... Here's the timing"

Copy that.

"Finally."

Sophia says. As this one snorted, Widels finally got out of his own territory.

Fulfilling...... for once there is no change in movement. Haven't they noticed yet?

"Attract a little more. And from the moment Lord Luon shoots his magic into it, it becomes a battle against time."

The demons behind him nod with a heavy look... growing tension. Nevertheless, there is no fear in its face.

Everyone, are you ready... all you have to do is wait for Croix's signal. Everybody shut their mouths, and now or now I squeal in my heart, and...

- Lord Luon.

"Oh."

"Let's get started...... please"

"I'll take care of it. Sophia!"

"Yes!"

The moment I heard the reply, I boosted my magic at once - the battle began for Croix to become the Demon King.
