Sword of the Philosopher

What I expected as Croix's next hand was a series of highway moves, or an ambush. Nevertheless, if we fail, we will stand in distress and lose our chances of winning.

And as I expected, first he used high-speed travel. momentarily turning to the side of Widels...... but

"I couldn't catch the first time"

Widels only received and stopped the sword that Croix had unleashed.

"But if I know it's coming, I can handle it. Get some rest."

"I don't know..."

Move again. But Widels followed it, and this time waved the other way against Croix, who tried to turn behind him.

Gaggin, and a metal sound occurs. That made it clear that the attack was impossible, or Croix used another high-speed move - back to its original position.

That's it, Croix.

It consumes a lot of magic and I don't have much time to fight with all my might... I look to Croix. If we find ourselves in a critical situation, we just have to help... but can we help him here and be the Demon King with that?

Exactly what he wouldn't want me and Sophia to be in charge of, either. So how do I...

And that's when I looked at Croix's expression... and I looked straight at him looking at Widels, and I changed my mind. It's not like I'm desperate. This is...

"It's not over yet"

Boost your magic. I gather magic on my toes to use high-speed travel... but I get intuition. How do we make use of it next, but it's probably an assault.

"Are you ready to smash balls? Croix."

That seems to have been clearly understood by Widels as well. Set up a sword and show the attitude you receive directly from the front.

"Then I'll smash it with this hand and finish it all off."

- Could it be that Croix was waiting for this kind of development? Did you dare wait for the opportunity for Widels to respond rather than evade?

If so... Croix boosts his power silently. For a moment - the atmosphere is like betting everything on a moment of clash, but you're never in a hurry.

Instead, I would do everything I could, calmly everywhere against the last blow... it looked that way.

That's how me and Sophia destroy the demons that will strike Croix while they both silence and confront each other. If the army disappears like this, it should be at a disadvantage for Widels... is the idea that we should even consider Croix?

Eventually, the magic emitted by Croix temporarily swayed and ran. Fast travel leaves us meaty to Widels - this battle determines a lot of us.

The assault was tremendous and the momentum seemed to blow up even when I knew it was coming, but Widels didn't move. I thought it could be countered...... probably the result of reading Croix's abilities.

If so, the end of this battle - there is a change in the moment, Croix. Not only my toes, but my body... magic emanated from my sword.

As soon as I saw it, I recognized it as this, and Widels understood it again, or I was stunned in its eyes.

Avoidance is probably the best choice, but Wydels, who stands still, is unable to cope with Croix's high-speed travel. You should take it directly from the front rather than half-way up if this happens... Yes Widels seems to have made a decision and waved his sword to rapidly increase his magic and respond to the sword Croix tries to release.

Both swords clash. Shortly afterwards, the magic scattered like a spark and the roar rang.

Croix's strategy is... to gather and set up magic on the sword, not an assault. It's just that at the stage where the assault is held back, you're going to succeed.

At the same time, there was a change in my eyes. Croix's blade devours the sword that Widels was holding.

"hey...!?"

Widels was also stunned by this. The strength of the sword should be sufficient. Croix broke through that...... well, was this what he was after!

In a moment, Widels' sword was beautifully amputated from the middle, and Croix's slaughter went into the opponent's body as the momentum continued - into it.

"But..."

Groaning, Widels took a few steps back due to the sword trident aftermath. Croix strikes to just fold up there. At the same time, he gathers his magic into a sword just because he doesn't need to hide it at the earliest, and swings it to slap in further slaughter.

- Without a doubt, Croix was aiming for this shape from the beginning. Fast travel acts like a swing to alarm Widels. Poking at the intent and causing damage, Widels considered this ability to be Croix's trump card.

Actually, no. His real trump card is a heavy slaughter that gathers magic all over himself... rather than this is the same reason to gather magic on his feet and travel fast? His abilities are physical strengthening, but to that strengthening he acts not only on the whole body, but even on the magical sword that he produced himself - as he strengthened his legs and traveled fast, he raised his cleavage by focusing on the sword, breaking both Widels swords. Enough to fortify Widels' sword to amputate it with force. The degree of enhancement is definitely greater than the enhancement magic I use.

Unlike simple weapon enhancements, they can also be used for magic, weapons, etc. so to speak, the ability to be used on the body... I guess those are the properties. Perhaps you should be somewhat free to grant any abilities other than simply a sharp increase in the weapon itself.

In other words, his abilities are not so much about enhancing his abilities as about his ability to grant magic and arbitrarily enhance what he is eligible for, be it biological or material.

And Croix's pursuit - a direct hit. The transverse flash takes a firm hold of Widels' body and causes him to tilt his opponent's body wide.

"... lick, don't rub!

But the opponent doesn't fall either. Stepping on the way, he regenerated a sword that lagged behind and disappeared from the middle.

I probably found out about my abilities. Then later it will be a simple comparison of power...... can you defeat it?

Croix still heads to Widels. Probably not to give me time to think. As a result, Widels can't even respond by just playing Croix's sword somehow.

And Croix clearly prevails...... can we keep pushing it off? Or is it first that the magic runs out?

"Not yet...!

Widels screams. Determining that Croix's power was probably not long, he went into defense.

However,

- There are two things to lose.

Croix began to speak calmly somewhere.

"One thing was that I was alarmed. Even if you didn't know what I was capable of, you could have been vigilant enough, and you could have built an immediate countermeasure."

Croix still persists in waving his sword.

"And one more thing... I do have a time limit on my abilities. But"

Immediately after that word, the magic swelled up all at once... still hiding the power!?

"The limit is, we're still ahead of you... you misjudged me, Widels"

"- Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Bark. Widels emits power to resist and tries to push it off.

But Croix dealt with it calmly - perhaps the opponent would not have been too late if he had been intact. But the double-edged spear plunged him into such a situation that he could no longer reverse it.

Croix swallows his sword. Widels tried to play it, but his body was also slashed and skipped - a third time a sword trident ran through his body.

"but ah......!

And he whines, falls down... while Croix unravels his abilities. It must have drained a lot of magic, albeit still ahead of its limits.

At the same time Widels' body disappears...... so Croix's first battle marked the end.
