Sword of the Philosopher
Challengers
Since then, as a result of my continued training, no one has beaten me in the end...... I can't help it. But the power analysis was solid, and it was a good mock fight.
So, I'll be waiting to investigate Devals while I train from now on... just wondering how far the angels can find out about phantom beasts - and I got in touch about five days after the start of the training.
I visit the guest room to see him... so I tilt my neck when I saw him.
"... what's up?
Devals had a complex look on his face. In response to this suggestion, he urges you to sit quietly.
So I sit down... while Devals opened his mouth.
"First of all, about phantom beasts… even if we were to look into ecology, we had to make sure where we were, so we used the angels to release the scouts to habitat"
"Is that the phantom beast Terra you used to talk about?
Devals nods. Yeah, I know how it went, but the look on your face...
"And naturally, I was investigating not to be found by phantom beasts... I wish I could have looked into the quality of magic and so on not to be found by phantom beasts as the best form, but as a result I was found by phantom beasts terra"
Whoa... you were okay?
"So, to conclude, we talked"
"... what?
Unexpectedly listen back. Have we talked?
"The phantom beast was more than intelligent. I was wary, but I could understand the language and talk to this one."
"... So, what's going on?
"He initially solicited that this one was an island investigation, but the phantom beast Terra nursed that the aim was herself"
"You can't... so the angel..."
"No, we're all safe. Terra, the phantom beast, based on it, has brought the story."
"Talk? Of what?
"Tell me why you're investigating… or why you're after yourself, and depending on that, you'll cooperate"
Well, I keep listening to what a wonderful phantom beast it is.
"After worrying about the investigation team, they contacted me. That's where we talked."
"So, what happened?
Asking as he swallowed his gokuli and spit, Devals said,
"Speaking honestly about challenging 'God' first, Phantom Beast Terra stated she would cooperate"
"That means the phantom beast knows the existence of 'God'...?
I could never have imagined it would be such a development......
"Seems so. For example, as there is an information network in the Spirit, or as there is an information network in the angels, there seems to be such an information network in the phantom beasts."
"Terra the phantom beast gave you information about 'God' from other phantom beasts?
"More precisely, I know about the awesome power of sleeping beneath the earth, not the concept of 'God'... they have phantom beasts that can perceive that power"
After that, Devals sat back down once.
"According to Phantom Beast Terra, the Phantom Beast who observes the power of the underground felt strange"
"Anomaly...!?"
"The magic in the depths of the underground is enlivening... I don't seem to know if this is related to 'God', but at least it seems certain that there is an anomaly underneath"
"The phantom beast is also noticing something... and?
"Oh. And hearing humans trying, Phantom Beast Terra suggested. If we show strength and prove that we can beat the existence of sleeping underground, we will cooperate."
So the phantom beasts are also afraid of their underground anomalies? And this has been a very good development. Instead of taking the power of a phantom beast, you can lend a hand... if you can join hands with spirits, dragons, angels, demons followed by phantom beasts, it's the best form.
"It was an activity to awaken Anverate, but the story went in the direction of not being... but rather a good flow. If you can also enter into cooperative relationships with phantom beasts, you can gain strength to challenge 'God'."
I snorted at Devals' words,
"Plus, if you're observing the power of sleeping underground, you'll get more information."
"Right. Nevertheless, the phantom beast Terra did not give the information. He doesn't seem to trust us perfectly... he also wants to talk to Mr. Luon, the head of the organization challenging 'God'"
- Even this one is a wish or a fulfillment.
"Oh, I'd like to talk to the phantom beast even as far as I'm concerned...... but how can I win my trust?
"I wouldn't know if I hadn't talked to Terra, the phantom beast, but it didn't look so bad because the angels were active."
We've come for Terra... I don't know if she's nostalgic.
"Amazing content, but let's follow that request for now"
Devals nods. I never came up with the idea of getting information from phantom beasts, but this is a very good development.
"Hmm, besides me, I'd like to see Sophia... should we get the gods involved too? What do you say, Garc?
"Um, I'd like to talk to you face to face, too."
Garc appears on his right shoulder and mentions it. Yeah, you've got a policy.
"If we talk about it properly, Sophia will get permission to go out too... 'cause we're not fighting."
"You may need to show a certain amount of strength to cooperate... but don't you have to worry about Mr. Leon"
So Devals shrugged his shoulders,
"However, if anyone besides Mr. Luon analyzes the strength of the organization's personnel..."
"I'm steadily getting stronger, but I'm still in the process of developing... but if that's what you're talking about, I guess the people in the organization should be taken"
"Oh, it would also be necessary to persuade Phantom Beast Terra to show what a facade the organization is"
"What's the date and time?
"It would be better if it were convenient for you."
Yeah, right...... I snort and decide what's coming from there.
It was a suggestion from an unexpected phantom beast... but, uh, I think. So far various races united their hands, but a phantom beast was to be added there. Of course I don't think all phantom beasts will be one of us, but that's still quite an achievement.
And this presents a way of challenging 'God' in all the races of the world... just someone who still doesn't know the bottom of his power. And based on the fact that we may get information from the phantom beast, this operation is bound to be a success… Yes, we were strongly determined in our hearts.
