Sword of the Philosopher

As it is a retreat, if it is lengthened, it will be besieged not only by demons but also by elite troops. All the demons, starting with Croix, survive by means of measures, but can they survive in this battle?

"Croix!"

As the chaos began, I joined Croix with Sophia. Amel was also nearby, kicking the approaching demon with a big sword.

"Mr. Luon, you're here... well, we're getting out of here. Cross the mountains on the south side and head back to the castle once."

"Are you picking up Ange?

"That's right. Bizel would be interested in Angel's abilities. You should stay with me."

"I'm gonna follow that, too."

And, amel continues.

"My territory, well, you can handle it."

"That's about-- are you sure you're okay?

"This is the situation, and you have nothing to say from me."

Talk to relax somewhere, Amel...... no, maybe in this case you want to watch what Croix does and the end of the line.

"Is that territory really okay over there?

When she took the confirmation, Amel laughed,

"You'll be fine without me. If I'm gone, I'm talking to my men who do politics."

"Specifically?

"Don't argue with Bizel. Basically, he said," Be obedient. "

... As for Bizel, he seems to have some temptations to prepare him for the battle against El Asus and to leave him with his strength, and if he's submissive, he's unlikely to do harm...?

"So we cross the mountain...... even if this guy can handle it well, how about that one? Croix."

"This one's done the pseudo too, so the damage probably shouldn't be"

Turning his gaze, Bizel's army is setting the Demons first. Those are fake and actually demons. I also feared for a moment the possibility of finding out, but whether it was a trick by magic or how the enemy was being deceived.

Hmm, the Demon Clan will disappear and no body will be searched for... does this seem like it would have to be found out? We can only hope for the good work of the Demons here.

"That's why I'll be back as soon as I can"

Croix changes his gaze. That direction is south.

"Mr. Leon, act with me."

"Okay. All you have to do is take down all the enemies you're approaching, okay?

"Oh, that's fine...... please"

"Leave it to me."

It's easy to understand because it's simple to do...... and Croix put up his sword and waved it down.

This signals a change in the behaviour of demons and demons. Suddenly he stops engaging and starts spreading. There is no such thing as that or flow, just in all directions... then naturally the enemy forces set their aim on the Demons to reduce their power. In the meantime, the devil slips through the side of the enemy and takes off the siege... it still takes time for Bizell's elite to surround this place. With full speed alone and using the magic of the Demon Clan, you will be able to remove the siege before it is encircled.

We're the ones left... Croix turns south on the path and runs out. And me and Sophia, plus Amel, followed - that's all I ever accompanied.

As soon as the demons' spearheads are on their way to us. I can naturally say that there are more than two Demon King candidates... not so harsh. Rather, it is solidifying and acting so that it is inclined to battle.

You mean you don't want to take us down?

"At the time of the destruction of the troops, Bizell's victory is like a decided one. It would feel like you don't bother to tip your power and make more sacrifices for nothing."

Croix responded to my whining.

"The attack that we launched didn't work, and the troops collapsed... Bizell embarked on Western domination on account of this, making him submit... with surveillance eyes not to restart us,"

"From Bizell's point of view, if Croix or Aamel have a co-operative presence, punish them."

"That's what happens. We couldn't muster the power, and we made up our minds."

"Under these circumstances, what kind of hand do you take?

Amel asks. And Croix sent his gaze once,

"You'd expect that, too, wouldn't you? We'll head down to El Asus for a moment."

"Joining him for the final showdown, something like that?

"No, at the time I followed him, I would virtually disqualify myself from becoming the Demon King. I haven't given up yet. [M] Talking to him is another reason."

"Another?

Amel listens back as she crushes the devil with her great sword.

"A weapon of war...... if you use that one, Bizel can do devastating damage to the territory of El-Ass. Perhaps Bizel wouldn't have made a useless attack if he hadn't shown Eluaz how to compete."

So Croix looks up at the sky.

"It's possible that El-Ass is also using demons and other things about this battle... even so, there must be something he wants to know about what Bizel thinks from us."

"I see. You want me to negotiate something for the information? But what do you get with that?

In response to further questions, Croix saw me and Sophia once... what?

"Is this about us?

Sophia asks. But Croix didn't mention it.

"... talk about this sooner or later. Anyway, let's get out of here."

Break the conversation here. At least I'm pretty sure I'm drawing something in my head...... I haven't given up on becoming a demon king yet. What the hell kind of measure is that?

I had my doubts, but now I'm out of here for one second... me and Sophia will wave their swords to the fullest and drive out demons and demons. There was no struggle, and for a moment I was able to escape the demon herd.

Keep going to the mountains at once. In the meantime, I explore the information with a demon.

"Croix, take the path a little further to the right. Elite is approaching, but we're not in the kind of situation we're going to siege yet, and at this rate, we can slip through it."

"Okay."

Follow my instructions and change course slightly. That's how we managed to escape the battlefield.

We slipped through Bizell's army and we reached the mountain. The altitude was quite high, but the magic was used to break through all at once. Return to Croix territory.

Nevertheless, it is a terrible tragedy... although the demons are safe by the measures, the situation of the dispersed army remains uncertain. Even if Croix's men get together, they'll need time until they have the power to fight.

In addition, Bizell's surveillance will intensify… can he continue to deceive the opponent's eyes until he is fully equipped for battle?

"From here on out, it's a battle against time."

"Time? Before Bizell's army arrives, huh?

When asked back, Croix agreed,

"Those who follow me more than before they defeat Widels will flee south. I'm just taking Zemun and Ange."

"And the demons who followed Widels vowed to help the rest of Bizel in the castle."

"That would be the best way not to make more sacrifices to the people"

"I see... and then Bizel's surveillance gets thinner. You mean we start getting ready in the south?

"No, that wouldn't be good either. And if you turn south, you face another problem."

I immediately understood his words, what they meant to me.

"... human, village"

"Oh. Because it is a place covered in forests and deserts, it is likely that Bizel will leave it as worthless even if he discovers it. But if I try to lurk south, I don't know what I'm gonna do."

"In fact, it's a demon tribe that uses the villagers to exploit weapons... even if it's superficially convenient, it might interfere with things."

"That's the thing. So after we rendezvous with Ange and the others, we head straight to Ares. As you can tell by Bizel that it is. Caution will naturally turn to you."

"Even in the sense that the pseudo-demons secretly prepare, Croix says he shouldn't be in the West."

"That's what I'm talking about"

While we're talking, I see the castle. Croix had a hard look but never gave up.

I don't know what he would do... we rushed to the castle thinking we'd watch it now.
