Sword of the Philosopher

"First, Mr. Luon. Do you remember the last words of Anverate?

Devals suddenly shakes the subject. But don't be surprised.

"Oh, sure. She... left me wanting this continent of Shergia to build a grave"

That's what you told me, but for that reason...

"Maybe it has something to do with angel Yuno?

"It's possible, but let's leave it at first because it's something to do with her inside. As for this one, I've been getting ready for that..."

"Speaking of which, I hadn't heard much about the details."

"Oh. Her remains do not exist but her magic remains. It froze the residual magic of the Anverate, which existed in the faint of Rostaldo, and now preserves it. If you put that magic as it is in your grave than you have become a fallen angel, it could also affect demons and such. But I also didn't want to choose the option of making it disappear altogether more than you cooperated with me. I have a request for her."

"That means her magic is currently frozen and preserved...... calling her soul from there?

"Soul, is close to a metaphorical expression. To explain this, we need to talk about the concept of death. Shall we go from there...... does Mr. Luon know what happens after a person dies?

"No, I don't know"

"Didn't you know what would happen in your previous life?

"The scientific field was developing, but it was a mystery there...... can you explain it over here?

"Angels don't even know what happens to people's consciousness. But have you ever heard of what happens when people die?

... uh, I've heard people say that.

"Eh, when people die, magic leaks naturally outside at the same time as flesh... is that a stream?

"That's right. The collapse of the body that maintains magic leaks magic into the air and eventually disappears. However, the magic can be preserved like an inverate… but it cannot be brought back to life. I can't get it back on track any more than I have no flesh, and with current magic technology I can't have a vessel ready to do the same as I did in my lifetime"

I snort... but there was a continuation of Devals' story.

"I just have memories and such in my magic... when I try to force it into something that isn't the original vessel, it comes abnormal. But with magic, it's possible to form a lifelong will and have conversations with magic alone."

"You mean you shouldn't have flesh?

"If only we had a conversation. Moreover, this method is inherently difficult in humans. Sometimes the magic itself is lower than that of a variety of genus, and unless you have quite a bit of magic in your lifetime, you just have to assume that it's not possible... except for angels"

It can be executed. On second thought, magic will be the main thing over flesh for beings who possess a great deal of magic, such as angels and demons. I guess placing specific gravity there means that you have elements other than your brain that hold memories and so on.

"But..."

And here Devals clouded his words.

"For Anvelate, we ended up sleeping, and if we rebuilt our magic, we would have gone to sleep, but suddenly we woke up. Besides, I don't know when I'm going to fall asleep again, which makes me unstable."

That sounds like brutal magic to me too......

"I can hardly ask Anvelate what he will do... then here is what he can do, taking into account Anvelate's will as much as he can, so that he can stay in this world for as long as he can, and give him enough room to sleep of his own free will. Of course, it means a lot to listen carefully."

I'm sure this is like giving back, paying tribute to Anverate and wanting to do everything you can if you're going to resurrect him.

"... I get the big story. But you need to be ready to do that, right?

"We don't need that much time about building magic. I need to go back to heaven once, but I can be ready in about two days if you have the materials."

"You won't be long...... just for the record, it sounds tough"

"We need to be prepared to keep the Amverate consciousness in this world for a long time"

Devals foreshadow. He put a beat from it,

"Tie it to this world...... that's a bad way of saying it. There is immense magic to bring back the soul and sustain it. Materials in the heavens can create vessels that can contain as much magic as they can."

"The question is, what's in it?"

"Exactly. How do you get magic... Oh, I forgot to tell you, but start Mr. Luon's magic, and be careful because you can't use the magic of beings like spirits and angels"

"What kind of magic can I have if...?

"Right...... first take from minerals etc. This can be used by extracting magic. And then you can have the magic that demons possess. This is pure magic… that is, it needs to be obtained from a being that does not possess flesh like a demon, but only works with magic. There are some ways to get magic from demons with incredible magic."

"... the minerals are very understandable, but demons... do you have a specific example of getting a site?

"Soon I'll think of something like Terra's Horn."

- Terra is the name of the superior beings of demons, also known as' phantom beasts', who live on isolated islands of the sea that are not on this continent. Its power just doesn't extend to the Garc or anything else that is a god spirit... but this existence of "phantom beasts" has troublesome properties.

"Mr. Luon, have you ever fought a phantom beast?

"I don't. The main reason I didn't have to..."

"Then you think you can fight and win?

"... by the way, what trait did Phantom Beast Terra have?

Devals was a little silent,

"Briefly, it blocks magic attacks from outside"

"That's a hassle, equivalent."

- What we call external magic here, if you say so, is attack magic. I mean, magic doesn't work.

However, if, for example, a sword is put up against the body and magic is activated from its tip, it works. In other words, there are powerful magic blockers on the skin and so on, and if you don't use your weapon, you won't get hurt.

"There are other phantom beasts that come to mind, but they always have troublesome properties."

"... that's the only way to secure magic beyond just putting out phantom beasts to engage, isn't it?

"Exactly"

Now, what should we do...

"Whatever, you don't have to decide in a day or two"

After foreshadowing that, Devals concludes.

"I'll leave it to Mr. Luon and the others about the angel Yuno. You can leave it to me if you want to talk about Anverate. Based on that, do you want to fight the phantom beast and gain magic... let me know what Mr. Luon has to say about it -"
