Sword of the Philosopher

We leave the island again, and now we go to the island of phantom beasts. The means of travel is the magic of the angels' movement, just like when they fought the Apostles... but it hasn't been a day since they woke up in the morning... don't feel the time is terribly long.

"What are we supposed to do when we get to the island?

Asking for confirmation, Devals said,

"If you can verify all sorts of things to bottom up your magical power... and you can afford about three days before the apostle of the star god arrives, so keep fit"

That's all. Looks like Devals and the others will do the prep...

"You're not gonna be stylish if you fall overworked, either, are you?

"Whatever, I won't force you... No, it might be a situation where you have to force me"

After such a grunt, Devals shrugs his shoulders.

"As it stands, I can't win if I fight directly... if I ask the head of the heavenly realm, it seems to me that it is the Almighty from a human being... in fact, it was to this extent"

"No, I don't think that's exactly what there was to be a head of heaven against a being that would destroy everything in that world..."

Me and Sophia know what angels are made of, and I don't recognize that angels are omnipotent beings.

"That being said, people expect me, don't they?

"Well, maybe..."

"Even the phantom beasts have many expectations beyond being angels. You have to respond."

"... don't you need to push it that far?

Sophia also follows. Besides, Devals smiled bitterly and thanked him.

Somehow, he also has the status of head of the heavenly realm, so his duty as an angel, I guess, means that he has a lot to bear as his being... a being living in a world different from people's. You're telling me we don't have a hard time.

"By the way, can I have one?

Sophia asks Devals to the lid.

"I feel like I'm asking you now... are you okay with the heavens?

"As soon as the Fallen Angel raids or something, we'll be in touch, and we'll be ready in case."

"There's that, too, in a ruling sense"

"Well, there's something going on."

It is ABOUT. I was worried you'd be okay.

"Uh, he said you two didn't have to worry about it. I'm here because I'm fine. That's all."

... Somehow, I see other angels. I'm immersed in the work, but some of them sighed small. You're struggling. Right.

I notice one change during those chats. About the walk of the phantom beast.

"... no heart or you seem to have slowed down"

"Hmm, down?

"I wonder if the stride is shorter... even if the stride just doesn't change, can't it be even?"

"Even if there was a change there, there would be no change in the time of arrival. I'm observing you here, but if you notice any faster pacing, tell me."

"Okay...... but three days? Honestly, we're going to fight so many enemies, so I was hoping we could afford a little more."

Even when I was a fallen angel, I had plenty of time to prepare, but this time I can barely afford it.

"Thinking about it can change a bit."

"Change?"

"Right now we're on the run to prevent the island from eating, but for example, it's an ant who's prepared to sacrifice more or less the island."

Assuming they eat the island, huh?

"Fortunately, I know the purpose of the Apostle, and the phantom beasts can evacuate, so the victims can be zero... well, if you leave them alone beyond continuing to devour the island, they will gain endless strength and no victory. We have to fight somewhere."

"... if this operation fails, don't take that form"

"Oh."

And Devals is - no, me and Sophia are sure to consider that possibility and be mindful. I just honestly don't know what to do.

Is that about what you can do to bring all the power together... The first piece of the game Elders Sword was a battle that brought together the power of different races. You mean do that even in real life?

However, the protagonists of the game were able to bring together the powers of spirits and angels with nature. I don't really remember if there was any reason... but in reality I have to clear that hurdle first. Me and Sophia's fusion. If we come together like magic, synergies are extremely likely to increase our power, but how much of a challenge we have to complete by the time we get there...

"... that's so huge. We also need the right amount of magic to defeat it directly from the front."

And, Devals speaks out with a bitter look.

"It's not just angels and phantom beasts, but dragons and spirits... and demon kings who might need help."

"... I've got an edge on the demonic world, and it's possible to call it, but is it theoretically possible to bind the magic?

"I don't know. I've never even verified it. Because I didn't need that approach... but if that's going to be mandatory, I need to be ready."

Ready? The power of the demon king and the power of the angels is definitely revolting. I honestly don't think it's going to happen... but if those two things - no, I can't imagine how powerful it would be if we could unite the powers of the species we're currently working with.

It's not going to be a fusion magic place noise between me and Sophia... and it's definitely going to be a trump card against Star God.

"… we must also refine our magic accordingly."

Now Sophia opens her mouth.

"We need to make magic so we can catch up with other races"

Magic beyond the finest, or... sure.

"Sophia, do you have any ideas?

"No, honestly, it doesn't take much either"

It's as if your eyes are wrapped in fog. There's something I can do, but what can I do... if this is something that has no deadline, I'll worry about as much, but I can't waste any more time than there's an impending crisis. I don't know what to do...... I have to make sure I get that answer out in a short time.

Anyway, now I'm worried about nothing else... and I say to Sophia, "I just have to think about it." She agreed with it or nodded deeply to show it.
