Sword of the Philosopher

Down the stairs, an iron door existed, but it was not locked, and Croix opened it and went inside. What was in the back was a small, tiny room. There was only one pedestal there.

"Much better. Well, it's a killer landscape."

Go into the room and check the pedestal, whining about that sentiment. There, there was one black bracelet.

"... this is..."

"Apparently it's what you're looking for."

Croix speaks. I put my gaze on him,

"You know what I mean?

"I understand because I have the authority of the Demon King... but... this is..."

Croix puts his hand on his mouth and starts whining somewhat. arrow tip I tried to ask what was going on,

"This bracelet is probably… literally a trump card, prepared by the previous Demon King before the invasion began"

I assured you. What does it mean?

"... Mr. Luon, can I verify a little about this bracelet?

"I don't mind... or if you've come this far, but if it was created by an earlier demon king, maybe Croix will use it?

"No, I don't need it."

Shake your head left or right. When this one sends an astonishing glance,

"Anyway, I'd like to see some of this, including whether this is human...... that is, something Mr. Luon can handle. Can you give us a minute?

"That's fine. So what do we do?

"We've already got the rooms ready, so you can have them rest there. I'll call you when I'm done with the verification."

Neither I nor Sophia snorted at him for telling me so.

The rooms provided are almost identical to those in a human castle, sitting on a black sofa and waiting for me. Sofia, on the other hand, is roaring through the room.

Is the decisive difference between a human castle and a window at all? Speaking of which, there was no such thing in the hallway either. If I suck, maybe I don't have a place to look out in the castle.

"... that tool"

Second, Sophia opens her mouth.

"Let's say it's an object that brings together the powers of the Demons. And I think the magic was a lot calmer."

"... you share my view"

I snort at Sophia's words.

The tool in the stash room - it was a black bracelet, but I didn't feel anything when I looked at it. From the side, there was no harm to humans… in other words, it appeared to be something that even humans could easily use.

Because of Ange's prophecy, I visited here, but the weapons used by the Demon King... I was also considering that possibility. But when people ask me if I can use it... the main character used a weapon created by the power of the Demon Clan in the game, but there was a part of me that tilted my inner neck.

"It was made by the Demon King, but don't you choose the user or something?

"At first glance, we didn't have any negative feelings like fear, but if we actually tried it, it could be the kind of effect that would take over the body."

"That seems unlikely."

And here comes the garc on my right shoulder.

"Even the magic we capture doesn't seem to possess characteristics that threaten others. Although there is no denying that there is something I cannot observe beyond what the Demon King has created. '

"Right...... I guess we'll have to wait for Croix's results here anyway -"

Arrow tips accordingly, the sound of a knock. When I replied because Croix was the only one, the door opened and he showed up.

"I made you wait."

"No, it hasn't been that long... you get it?

"Oh."

Saying so, he threw something at me. When received reflexively, it was an earlier black bracelet.

"... I accidentally got it, but wasn't it dangerous?

"There are no effects that threaten humans. I am the demon king now, even though my predecessors made it. By virtue of its authority, it is understandable what the characteristics are."

"I see... So, what the hell is this?

In a nutshell, it's a weapon.

I also thought for a moment that this was a weapon... something like an aid that uses magic or something.

"Looks like a bracelet, but that's apparently a bow and arrow"

"... bow and arrow?

"Inject the power present in the bracelet by instilling magic."

That's a lot simpler... so deep down, there was a continuation to Croix's story.

"That's all simple as a function. But the power put into it... is definitely more powerful than any weapon that exists in this demonic world."

"Is it because the power of the Demon King is poured out?

Croix shakes his head to the left and right.

"... let's talk about the results of the validation. However, it is up to Mr. Leon to decide what to do with the bracelet by listening to it"

Sounds like a hassle.

"Oh, sure."

Agreed Croix. Meanwhile, me and Sophia decided to wait for the words... and eventually, he started talking.

"A weapon that poured the power of the Demon King. That would have been nice, but not the other way around... Perhaps the previous Demon King ordered his men to concentrate before starting the invasion"

"... Huh?

To the men you accompany? As he rebelled Croix's words in his chest, he went on further.

"I don't know how much power the Demons have poured out of each... but this undoubtedly pours the power of the Demons who invaded the continent. Isn't Mr. Luon hesitant to use it?

Me and Sophia face each other in that inquiry.

This means, for example, that there is the magic of the five great demons and the magic of the demon Sheldat, who raided the kingdom of the Barks. Again, I also feel like I do have something to hook up with.

"First of all, because no will exists in magic, the use of this will not result in the emergence of the demons who carried the burden of the invasion of the continent. But that's not a very good idea to make the most of this tool, even if that's just the idea in your head."

"... I see,"

After I understood, I just thought about it a little bit - but I got an answer right away.

"Croix."

"Oh."

"Croix is not a party...... but he decided to join hands with me and Sophia, who are human beings. For the prophecy and purpose of Ange...... for that reason too, there should have been little resistance somewhere in my mind. It's unprecedented."

"... you can't deny it"

"But even if there were all sorts of troubles to us... beyond that, Croix made a choice to join hands with us. And the battle against 'God' … I think I have to take in everything, like Croix, and still gain strength with it"

That's how I look at my bracelet.

"I know what Croix is trying to say... but that bracelet is what we were looking for. Get it, we move on like Croix."

"... right"

Croix raised his voice like he was convinced,

"Then I don't need any more questions. An instrument that brings together the power of the Demon Clan... take it."

"Oh."

Squeeze the bracelet as you respond - so I could serve my purpose.
