Sword of the Philosopher

"We fought well, but unfortunately... did you understand what we were capable of?

Asking Amel, she responded with a clear smile.

"Sort of. It certainly doesn't seem difficult to prepare the conditions for becoming a demon king if you keep the two of them on your side than you possess all this power."

"But if we make a big deal out of it, I don't know if we're gonna get support."

Amel says yes to these words.

"It's not a good idea to stand out and be active, but you still won't win the fight against Bizell unless you two fight. That's tough."

"I'm used to fighting inconspicuously, so I can handle it."

In fact, even the battle against the Demon King stood around inconspicuously... just this time Croix tells me I'm going to "break through with that force," so I might need some ideas. In addition,

"It's just that me and Sophia moved around quite a bit in the fight against Widels. If we don't find out who we are, there's a good chance Bizell's gonna be on guard."

"The battle against time... but Bizel doesn't have a complete grasp on the strength of Mr. Leon and the others. In the battle against Bizell, the neighborhood is a turning point."

"And one more thing"

to my words. Amel narrowed her eyes,

"Do you still have it?

"This battle is something we cannot win unless both the army of Croix and the army of Amel are aroused. That's enough to unleash all the potential."

"Oh, sure."

"Croix is left to Croix. As for Amel, if you get excited about yourself, you're going to be following his men."

"... well, if I lead the way, I'm sure my men will follow me at all costs to avoid annihilation."

I don't even feel pity for my men... but that's anyway.

"If that's the case, if Amel's in the mood, it'll boost morale."

"Right."

"Then I thought I'd show you one way to motivate me"

In that word- Amel seemed to have guessed.

"I mean, can we duel that way when this battle is over?

- Winning the battle against Bizell will also require the excitement of Aemer, as I said myself. So she thought she'd come aboard if she offered to "get a duel when the battle is over".

"A duel may not be an expression. It could be a unilateral ravage."

"No, that's fine... we interact with beings at the top of the world. It's more interesting that way."

Oh, it's starting to burn. It's easy to understand, but I don't have to say I'm kind of sorry to see it go as I thought it would.

Actually, it's a success... I'm just sorry that it's an operation and I'm not saying it in pure favor...

"- I'm not uncomfortable being put on board myself."

Yes, says Amel.

"Rather, that's enough...... Croix, this one fights with all his might. Good luck with that."

"Naturally."

... Somehow, even if my words were intended, you would accept them? I'm pretty sure I'll keep my word, so I guess that's okay if the reward is anything you want in any way.

It's an understandable personality, a humane demon... No, what I came to think is that they are so close to humans that we don't have to distinguish ourselves from humans.

Even when I encountered angels, it felt like they were formatted, but the head of the heavenly realm was human enough... I don't know how demons and angels were born in this world, but maybe they are beings with the same ancestry as humans.

"All right, I served my purpose, too. Let's go home and get ready for war."

Amel says softly if she has changed her mind. Besides, Croix dropped her shoulder.

"Next time you visit, come more calmly"

"You can't."

It was a quick answer. Croix sighs again...... you're going to have a headache Tane left.

"And Mr. Sophia, you'll have to fight again when I'm strong."

"I'll take it anytime."

In response to her reply, Amel responds with a full grin.

"Then we'll try again someday... well"

Next, Amel turned his attention to Zemun, who had kept his silence until now.

"If I were to say greed, I would have liked to try it that way, but is it difficult in the present state"

"... I'm not even under your feet."

"What do you think? There's also a view of the hidden powerful just because they weren't public, than they were near the Demon King."

- Hey, Sarali just threw up some awesome information.

I send my gaze to Croix. Sophia reacts the same way again. And he shrugged his shoulders,

"Didn't I tell you two? Zemun is a former Demon King... near the side of the previous Demon King. Nevertheless, as you can see from my arrival in my territory, I was never involved in the shelgian raid, and the reason I came to you in the first place was my exile from the demonic kingdom."

"This is why we fought the invasion of the continent."

... Was Zemun in a position to deny the invasion? About his mood like that, it could be affecting Croix's thoughts as well.

"Looking at that, you don't seem to be fighting me. Too bad."

It's a shame, Amel shrugs in such a way, but the face seemed very satisfied.

A visitor, who may be called the storm itself, leaves, and Croix starts preparing for war again.

"A weapon of war that Bizel possesses… the battle will begin soon more than we set it up before it is finished"

Croix says in the office - it's him and me who are here, Sophia.

"There was confusion, but I succeeded in joining hands with Amel. Nevertheless, this trend will slip through to Bizell. That's why I stood around so flashy."

"They'll stiffen up their defense over there."

"Oh. Break through that by Mr. Luon and the others. And then I just want to say that with all this power..."

Here Croix laughs bitterly.

"We haven't even been able to grasp satisfactorily the trends in Widels' territory yet. There will never be enough, no matter how carefully you prepare, than to set it up under that circumstance."

"Still, we have to do it"

Croix nodded deeply at my words.

"It hurts that I can't ambush anymore, but I've also had good stories about the noise of war weapons, and if Amel is going to arouse me, I have eyes... I just won't have much leeway here. I mean, once and for all."

"Failure is unacceptable...... but it is also not a situation that allows us to prepare carefully"

"You've got all the negative information."

Croix breathes small...... but his determination seemed stiff.

"Move on to action before it's too far away. Mr. Luon and the others are ready for it, and now we just need to rest our bodies."

"Okay. What's Ange gonna do, by the way?

"I'm going to leave it this time. The same goes for Sanak and Zemun."

"And Zemun?

"I'll leave Ange. Just in case... I need an escort when something happens"

"... hey, one thing? Does Zemun's proximity to the Demon King mean his strength was on par with executives such as Ledras?

"He said he was inferior in strength. If I had the strength, I wouldn't have been banished."

... the demon tribe that eventually exiled survived. It's kind of ironic.

"This one does the best he can"

And Croix spoke with a voice of determination.

"Once the battle with Bizell is over, we will probably not face Amel... so you can think of a settlement for the western strip. Then face to face with Ehras and aim for the Demon King... the battle against Bizel will finally clearly create the path to becoming the Demon King... both of you, help me to win this battle -"
