Sword of the Philosopher

"Sophia, go"

"Yes."

Me and Sophia, we're on the move. How common fusion magic is...... make sure of that first.

"We support defense etc."

That's what Devals says. The operation is carried out at sea, but naturally it is necessary to stand magically on the surface of the sea. The angels will do such aids.

"Luon, Sofia. Be careful."

Reese hangs the words of drop-off. This one nodded small and left the island with the Devals.

The magic of the angels' movement brings us closer to the Apostle. It will take a little while for me to see it because of the distance.

"Mr. Luon, is there any change in the observation by the user demon?

"No, I'm just walking silently... nothing more"

I keep pushing along without even shaking my sides...... I think it's like a straight line to the destination and the island, so I guess the knowledge that Lug the phantom beast definitely possessed and so on is in my head.

I'm literally going through the shortest distance, but the speed is the same. The evacuation of the phantom beasts doesn't seem to be a problem with this.

"But the star god will set up a battle..."

To the lid, Devals raises his voice.

"You mean you can get a lot of information if you just defeat the Apostle, right?

"At least that's what Star God himself said"

"I didn't know it would extend to purposefully passing information... somehow, Star God is a whim"

"You don't know what you're doing... normally. It's just, you know, it's fundamentally different from the creatures that exist on Earth, so maybe it's useless to just think about it."

Magically run through the sea while we have that conversation. I still don't see him in my sight... but it shouldn't be.

"… this operation determines the direction of how to fight"

Devals opened his mouth to the lid.

"If Mr. Luon and the others were able to work their magic out, that would solve everything, and the clapping would be a good place... it wouldn't happen."

"What we can think of at the moment is an amazing defensive ability. Or the ability to play."

"It's extremely simple if it's the former, and it's possible to deal with it if you boost the magic output anyway. If it is the latter… could we destroy the area to maintain regenerative capability?"

"Head or chest?

"If you have a beastly body structure as it seems, there would be organs to maintain your body either way. But the target is the apostle of the star god. It's not strange to be in a different spot than this one… for example, the toe."

"Then in both cases?

It was Sophia who asked.

"If you possess both defensive and regenerative capabilities,"

"Ah, well... it might be quicker to end up aiming for the steeple than to erase the Apostle himself..."

Yes, Devals said, putting his hand on his mouth.

"It's unrealistic to continue to apply magic to an opponent with an overwhelming mass... if you can get close and observe magic, you'll know which areas magic is gathered. Guess where the weakness is from there -"

At that time, I saw ahead - the apostle of the star god. Still about the size of a bean grain, Devals orders his men to temporarily interrupt the move.

"You see... well, at last... we need to pack a little more distance to use magic"

"Oh. Exactly this distance is too far away"

"Nevertheless, the question is whether we come close and the Apostle will react. We have every chance of reacting to this magic and moving it, so we're gonna get a little closer from here."

Resume the move. Nevertheless, its speed is very slow and its apostolic appearance grows slightly.

"Both of you, get ready."

Devals instructions. Me and Sophia snort hands together... slowly, we start to get ready for magic.

"Mr. Devals, if that one reacts..."

"Perhaps we should retreat... once the opponent reacts and strikes even when the magic is complete, let's prioritize fleeing. If you run out on that giant, for example, it's going to be a hell of a speed, out of hand."

If you suck, even mobile magic is going to catch up to you... me and Sophia are going to get ready for magic while you whine in your chest. Even though we have to look at the Apostle, we can afford it differently than when he was a fallen angel. You can take as long as you want, so be careful.

So far there has been no change in the Apostle. Are you unaware of our proximity, or are you aware and thrown away?

"... eating the island is probably a meal act for the Apostle"

Plus Devals guesses.

"Maybe we haven't eaten enough yet, and there's a chance that we're pushing along with an island hanging nearby without even shaking our sides."

"If I were, I'd ignore cancer about us."

"Thank you for that."

At that time, the Apostle raises his voice. But is it not intimidating or hostile, but also exalting the mood?

Gradually the appearance of the Apostle grows larger. Turning their gaze separately, the angels, including Devals, constitute a magic barrier, and they release their demons to see their enemies from the sky, just like me.

- Confirm the operation now.

And Devals told us.

"Keep approaching the Apostle, stop at a certain distance and attack with magic. I'll leave that distance to you at your discretion, but let me know as soon as Mr. Leon and the others feel distant."

"Okay."

"After releasing the magic, leave this place immediately. Keep your distance and see how it goes. Observations are all made by demons, including Mr. Luon's … but we decide to stay in a place where we can see them for once and see how they react and think about whether to fire a second blow"

That being said, Devals looked to the Apostle.

"... the extent to which the magic of Mr. Luon and his men will prevail will change future operations... but the place of the showdown will take place on the island to which the Apostle is headed"

Maybe the angels are going to use the magic inherent in that island to launch an attack. Well, that's all the mass. Not on a scale that can be accommodated alone when it comes to angels.

At that time, the fusion magic is complete. Look at that. Devals,

"Did you... the Apostle is still unresponsive. Then let's get close and decide all at once."

Devals instructs his men to move further. I looked into Sophia's eyes and she nodded back small.

The magic is abundant... in heavenly experiments it was the magic of deciding and blowing the earth. I was nervous about how common it would be... and I quietly put my hands around it and turned to the Apostle...
