Sword of the Philosopher

He acted fairly cautiously after negotiating with Eluas, eventually leaving the territory of Eluas and breaking into an area where the residence of the Demon King was located.

When we got here, it was surprisingly low in population density... and it's unlikely we'll be able to communicate our behavior from the inside out.

And the further we proceeded within the realm, the more the atmosphere began to change. Until now, there have been many views that are not so different from the world we live in, but the area has the same views but some inorganic air. The trees exist and the grass grows on their feet. But it's hard to describe the air… I can recognize that it's a different place.

Sounds like you noticed.

Croix tells me to look around.

"The territory owned by the Demon King is deliberately changing the quality of magic"

"It's changing...?

"We are putting magic into the land itself and making the air hard. This makes me understand that it is the direct domain of the Demon King and makes me try not to accidentally intrude... I and Amel can immediately detect signs change in the boundary part of the Demon King's territory, but Mr. Luon, it seems that humans cannot discern the changes in the air without going some depth."

I see, does it make sense to make you recognize it?

"The demons don't basically get in where they're sending this sign... it's unlikely that Bizel or El-Ass will interfere either if we get here"

"You mean safe... is there a distance from here to the castle of the Demon King?

"The direct jurisdiction of the Demon King is not that great, and it has gone quite a long way so far. It won't take long to see the castle."

I don't know what it feels like... well sooner or later I'll know, so let's not dare ask.

"There's a guardian there, and I'll talk to him first. I told you before, you can't go into the castle. As soon as you hear me, Mr. Leon and the others can go back..."

"Um, can I ask you a question?

Sophia raises her hand to the lid.

"If you can go back to the original world, where will it be?

"I can only specify one destination for the door. It's a deserted island. Let's use the devil to move from there."

... the demon kings invasion, is that where it came from?

I was wondering if my discussions with my guardian would go smoothly, but I can solve any trouble I have because Eluas is on the math of buying some time for the fight against Bizel......?

But you can keep fighting and finally go home... not simply go home, Demon Nation... and take home the Devil King's Son. But even if you can't imagine what's going on with us missing, if you're accompanying Croix and the others under this circumstance... honestly, I can't even imagine how the story will fall.

It's just me and Sophia convincing him, so all of a sudden it's not going to be an attack on Croix and the others, and I won't let him... and when I see Croix here, he returns his gaze, too,

"... Honestly, as far as I'm concerned, I'm not complaining if I fail."

"About the negotiations? But without us, we won't be demon kings again."

Assuming we're gone, Croix will fight the guerrillas to disable the weapon... the strategy itself exists. The biggest problem is how many weapons Bizel owns, but as long as we know there, we can snipe them and eliminate the sacrifice of the inhabitants first.

If we run out of weapons, we lose our advantage as bizels as well. If Eluaz launches an offensive before it is repaired, this time Bizel will be finished.

However, even as Bizel, you can't possibly not be considering those methods of warfare. How do you hide weapons? And where it is...... it is difficult to know that, and if we cannot destroy everything, weapons will be fired and a great deal of sacrifice will be made.

There is no doubt that the battle will also be El-Ass led, and Croix's position as a candidate for the Demon King will undoubtedly vanish.

But if the negotiations succeed...... we can use the help of spirits, including the Garc, and angel Devals. Then the possibility of being able to find a weapon widens. Me or Sophia, who are human beings, didn't respond to Locke about the tools that Bizel used to find his enemies. The angels and spirits can probably build a method of deception, and I think this method can make unlimited sacrifices.

"... Croix, are you going for the Demon King's throne because your predecessor, the Demon King, is your father?

I did not ask why when we had a discussion in my castle. But before you go back to the world, you should ask.

"No, slightly different... the answer is that I myself, the Demons, have to change"

"Change?"

"Should I even say change...... the Demon King crumbled in the battle ahead and the Demon King candidates are currently in contention. In it, Bizel, even out of the question, will solemnly rebuild the demonic kingdom once Eluaz has become king of demons"

"So you can't?

"I... think I need to strike a wedge that will change my perception. Predecessor Demon King...... little is known about why my father made that invasion. But if a blind compatriot has become a demon king, there may be a presence to inherit the will of his father without knowing why."

Think about the future?

"That's why we have to take steps now to prevent those things...... the same goes for reforming consciousness within the Demon Nation, but if we could set up a place to talk with the outside world...... but that would just be tough. Considering what the previous Demon King did."

"Still, you think I'll do it?

Croix nodded deeply at this question.

"I think the fact that there has been no such thing as walking away from the Devil's side has also been a factor that has made things worse... I don't think this obsession is about a distant future to dissolve. Because some people will rebel more than harm is actually happening."

So Croix looks forward.

"But still... we have to move to change. And that first trigger was this battle."

Croix has a strong tone. I can feel something like a mission that I have to do.

This must have something to do with the actions of the previous demon kings. He was talking about his own demon king's actions... but that probably has something to do with 'God'. There are many things that are not clear about the motive.

So, uh, questions arose. Is there anything Croix thinks about 'God'? As the son of the demon king, would he ever think about it?

I'm not going to ask because there are Amel and the like now... but after this fight, maybe we should talk.

"... speaking of which, Croix. Is there any problem with me or Sophia being a protector in Demon King's Land?

"I don't know what you think on the inside, but if you explain it to me, it won't be a problem."

I guess that means the guardian obeys the authority Croix has.

I'll say "ok" too and break up the conversation. From there, even in the form of walking forward. From the hard air of the demonic kingdom, or Sophia walks with her eyes on her surroundings. Croix and Ange, on the other hand, Zemun are used to looking forward and moving forward pale.

Amel is the one who looks around to contradict it. For her, it's the first time in the demon kingdom.

That's how I look at my buddies and move my legs, just like Croix and the others... then before long, I started to see the building ahead - the black castle.

"Croix, that's..."

"It's the castle of the demon king. The goal is close."

Croix paces slightly faster. We followed it and gradually the castle approached.
