Sword of the Philosopher

The next day, Croix spoke while this one was cleaning up the camp.

"Ready"

If you look at it, the big devil looks out over the sandy beach. Unlike pure human form, it has a shape with wings like birds.

"I poured magic into my ability to fly to the limit, so as I said before I created it, it would be the limit one way"

"There will be another way when I come back here, so I'm not worried about that... shall we go when I'm done cleaning up"

Croix nods at my words and everyone begins to be pale and dominant.

Approximately twenty minutes later, all gathered before the devil, ready to leave.

"Are you ready?

Croix asks. Then Amel jokingly replied, "I knew I couldn't," but he shrugged his shoulders,

"... maybe this much air would be better"

"That's right. If you're only a Demon, it wouldn't be weird to get killed by a meetup."

"Honestly, I don't think anyone's fighting that fast."

While I answer that, I express my views.

"At least I can guarantee the safety of the two of you... or I think they'll recognize that you're gaining a certain amount of trust from acting with me and Sophia."

"I appreciate that."

"But that's why we don't know if the negotiations are going so well... rather than me and Sophia having another concern"

"Concerns?"

Croix frowning. You may have been anxious to hear my words, but it has nothing to do with him.

"We are now heading to the kingdom of Barks, the homeland of Sofia, but we will be in the form of a return when we encounter 'God Hidden'"

"Uh, I mean, when you make a fuss about the two of us,"

"That's right. Besides, I was close to the Spirit when I encountered the Divine Hidden. That may be making more noise than you can imagine"

If you are bad, there is also the possibility that a major search is taking place on the continent of Shergia….

"I don't have much information about hiding God."

And, this is what Sophia said.

"I'm sure Master Luon has imagined that we may be expanding our search not only within the Kingdom of Barks, but throughout the continent..."

"Right. In other words, it is possible that the Big Case is no longer at the negotiating table"

"... time will improve on that. I don't think I need to worry about that because I'm getting respite from Eluaz."

I really think so...... I had my inner doubts, but don't talk any more.

"All right, let's just talk about this for one second... shall we leave"

"Oh. Then get in."

Encourage the devil to get back on his back. Actually, there's quite a bit of room for me to ride, and I think I'll be able to sleep in big letters.

"I exercise the magic of the wind to prevent the wind, etc."

"I'll help you with that."

I say to Croix's words, activate the magic. A windy magic barrier wrapped the demon... in which the demon flew slowly.

They flap their wings and rise slightly. Something like a prep movement?

"... hey, can I check one thing?

and here amel opens her mouth.

"If the devil starts to collapse on the way to flying..."

"Ask Amel to instill magic while flying so she doesn't"

Amel dropped her shoulder disappointed by Croix's words.

"I had some anticipation..."

"The magic of Mr. Leon and the others makes it impossible for you to be an artist. And I can't because I have to figure out a way forward and manipulate the devil. We can't leave it to Angel, so it's up to Amel to erase it."

"All the while you were flying?

"I wish I felt strange, but if I'm serious, I want you to do it all the time"

"... ok. What would you have done without me?"

In that case, Amel put her right hand on the devil's back as she sat down when she whined in her head that maybe around Zemun was coming to this world to do it.

"Rapid magic can affect the devil, so we're going to pour it to a point where there's no problem moving around."

"Oh, please... well, enough altitude"

Croix shrugs. If I noticed, the island was about the size of a bean grain.

"Then let's go!

With the decree Croix also places his right hand on the devil's back, pouring out his magic. For a moment, the devil began to travel all at once.

Zero recoil, wind, etc. due to barriers. Increased speed at once, and the island's presence quickly disappeared.

"The devil doesn't keep going straight south. If we keep going straight, there's no chance we can't reach the Sherzian continent."

Croix pours magic on the devil as appropriate as he states.

"Now I know how to proceed by another magic. So I'm adjusting and moving on... Mr. Leon, do me a favor."

"What's up?

"I don't think there's a problem because I'm looking in the direction of the path and yet there are barriers... I want you to let me know as soon as something happens in the distance"

It's possible that you won't make it after you realize this speed... but do you need a lookout?

"Okay...... Sophia, stay by Ange's side. I know it's okay because Amel's working hard, too, but if something goes wrong with the devil, make Ange a top priority. The rest of us will be able to do something with local power."

"Okay."

Each role is determined. In the meantime, the devil pushes forward at an alarming rate... this won't be long.

"... I didn't know you were going to go where your father was in this way"

Croix utters her voice on the fence, with a sarcastic grin.

"Mr. Luon has found me and my father to be different, but there will be a number of people who don't think so... when will the time come when we can walk over to each other with humans... it's going to be a long, distant story"

"At least not while me or Sophia's alive."

However, if the consciousness of the demon clan, starting with Croix, changes...... there are long-lived spirits and angels here. They could take over well and create a path to fulfilling Croix's purpose.

"Croix, it is impossible for a relationship with man to ice melt any sooner than the presence of a demon king has struck the continent. For the first time, and on the assumption that the Demons will no longer be exposed in the future, we will be able to create a table for discussion."

"I know... the Demons are as long as the angels, but can they accomplish it while I'm alive?"

... Using my battle with the 'God' that Sophia and I are chasing, it may be possible to join hands with the head of heaven and the divine spirit. But it will take a terrible amount of time to penetrate the world.

"If this battle succeeds, it will be the first step"

Yeah, I'll tell Croix.

"No, it's not the first step, it could be a big change... it's just up to Croix to figure out how to use it"

"Right..."

Agreed, Croix thinks...... what to do. He seemed to be asking himself that.

From there, there will be no more conversation, and we will proceed with our work silently. The devil's speed remains unchanged, with the aid of Amel and maintaining endurance. And without disturbing our sight, the flight goes well.

That's how I see land in front of us. Shortly after recognizing it was a continent, Croix manipulates the devil and starts braking.

Finally returning...... and what happens. I kept looking at the continent with anxiety.
