Sword of the Philosopher

In time, roughly thirty minutes? The view suddenly stopped switching, and the giant bubble that wrapped us suddenly fell to the bottom of the ocean.

Our feet are on the ground, too. So Terra looked around,

"We reached near the island of Lug, the phantom beast... now still outside the territory"

"Territory?"

Asking back with her neck tilted, Terra gives an explanation.

"In addition to the entire island, the nearby waters… are around the island in a precise way, but Lug has an attitude that can be perceived if there are any anomalies. That was confirmed when I went to the island to convince him."

"Did the negotiations with Lug also have implications such as force analysis?

"Negotiations were the main purpose, but I put in a little exploration, concerned about what would happen if I went into battle."

I guess as a Terra, I don't mean to be useful in this way.

"If Lug remains unpredictable about our combat operations, his vigilance should remain intact. I would have liked to have looked into it more, but if I got any closer, they'd notice. '

Is it likely to be noticed even when using Resvail to observe the scourge in the sky for a moment?

"We magically get out of the sea once and for all like this and enter the island with momentum. From there it will be forced to break through while exploring the signs of Lug '

"Are you ready?

Jin inquired about Terra to the lid.

"Fighting between phantom beasts seems to have existed in the past, but at least not since I grew up."

"Uhm, it was a long time ago that we were colliding"

"It has tremendous power, but if we fight, the phantom beast will disappear on a pedigree basis… we have never fought to avoid self-destruction, but this time we will break it"

'The fact that we weren't under contract but still didn't fight before is heavy...... but we can't stop walking'

"Those who believe in the power of the underground...... so"

Terra nods at Jin's mention. As far as he is concerned, he seems to be quite worried about 'God'.

'I'm finally ready... how about that one?

"Me too...... so let's get started"

Terra's subordination began to increase her magic with Jin's words. Probably accelerate from here all at once through the water and force into the island.

I'll move my gaze to Terra. Besides, they noticed or sent their gaze, but they were silent.

Soon afterwards, Terra's subordinate magic activates - and we start moving again. Until now, however, it has moved along the seabed, whereas this one is diagonal...... that is, a move to land on the island.

The speed increases steadily while thinking. Are you okay? - I was just a little anxious. I saw the arrow tip, the sea level.

And with a big blister, we take off the ocean. What I saw up close was an island surrounded by woods. Go there. Terra sends instructions to the subordinates and goes in...!

As the facades of the organization became silent, including me, we entered the island, pushed the trees, and the junction pierced the ground. When it stops moving there, the junction is lifted.

'Let's go!

Terra releases the decree. It's not for us, it's for the delivery. Meanwhile, Terra and the others began advancing simultaneously.

"You're Terra in the lead. Then I'll take the back."

Jin shrugged like that, shifting his gaze to me.

"Are you nervous or something?

"Somewhat...... but no disruption to the fight"

"Best of all... Now, if you don't get in the mood, they're going to leave you"

Terra and the others rush through the woods as if they were even on the plains. On the other hand, the human side, including gin, opens up the difference. Just this as originally planned.

We just had to follow the path that Terra and the others had created as a result, so it was very easy... and the forest suddenly opened up while we were thinking.

It was the original surrounded by trees that showed up. The size is considerable, at least enough room to stand around even when there is a fight.

Terra and Jin stop at that place, and this one stops their legs as well.

"... well, I had some anticipation"

"Don't feel very depressed when it's in the middle"

Jin and Terra mutter successively. I thought something was wrong with the arrow tip, directly in front - a shadow from the gap between the trees.

I thought you were coming.

Talking about that is a being who walks on two legs and has five bodies, just like a human being...... but his face is like a lizard and even has a scale. If you like... yes, it's Lizardman.

"Who did you find out?

When this one asks, Jin lightly,

"Long."

"Huh?"

"His name is Olu. Just like us, head of the phantom beast."

I see... I could understand that explanation. In other words:

"Shall I check? Olu, are you a believer too?

- In those words, the questioned Lizardman, Olu, gave a tall laugh.

"Believers...... I see. Apparently, you understand the situation. Anyway, sleeping beneath the ground and being great… I'm sure he's a follower of it"

"Leaving aside why I came to such a thought, it is. Wait here. What are you gonna do?

"What I found out. I'll take care of you."

"Can't you convince me?"

Terra speaks. In the meantime, his men expand around.

"More than I believe, it's a parallel line."

"Things are clear and helpful. To tell the truth, I was here early. It was before Lug set us up together."

"You said you expected this to happen?

The next person to open his mouth was Sophia.

"Or that what we came for became a calling water and tried to set up a fight?

"Well that's what it is. I was supposed to fight sooner or later. Then I thought while I was alarmed... I'll admit this one was sweet."

Did I crush the enemy?

"But it's over here, too."

Immediately afterwards, the surrounding forest begins to creep in. If you look closely, there are many Lizardmans who are the same as Olu from the gaps in the trees. Are you surrounded already?

The opponents were at once, but not to be noticed here... did you use magic or ability here?

Plus, I heard heavy footsteps coming from somewhere. The giant who attacked our island... is light, but I'm guessing a presence with similar properties is approaching.

"Are you going to decide the female male here?"

Fist as Jin tells. And Olu laughed spirally,

"That's the thing. Lug will be here soon...... let's get you ready"

"Let's just say I'll give it back."

A Lizardman emerges from the woods, the arrowhead to which Terra replied. Further signs emerge from the woods, colorful wolves in sight.

Will Lug's men also come... in the form of a push in number? Exactly. Now the Terra and the others will be out of hand.

"Battle Preparation"

I give orders to my people. Shortly afterwards, Sophia and the others laid down their weapons - and at the same time, they heard the wolf howling, signaling the opening of the war.
