Sword of the Philosopher

Me and Sophia's fusion magic was released again a few minutes after Romilda fired the magic.

The power is just less than the first time, but still succeeds in deciding the body of the Apostle. The enemy, on the other hand, is stopping the movement. There's no sign of moving to eat up the island, and it's our magic, but it's still there.

Can we do this...? With all my heart's expectations, I remain vigilant. If the apostle unleashes a counterattack like the one he showed at sea, it is possible that the war situation will be turned upside down. I think the angels are probably interfering with something right now...

And here's the change. The apostle wandered off. So I couldn't untie the light restraint, but I can clearly see that I tried to do something.

"Take it out of custody and fight back first, I guess."

Kati makes a guess. If you think about it correctly, that's the point.

Here the magic of the Kuuzas was unleashed again. Its aim is the neck muscle, not the head. When it strikes directly, the blue flame springs up again, burning the skin.

"... for being kept in custody"

And Kuuza said as he breathed.

"How much more magic do you have to punch in, and I guess you'll fall down"

- Has the situation taken the form of a protracted war? Our magic is sure to destroy the Apostle's body, but it's hard to do everything at once because it's too big.

Here's Romilda shooting magic again, deciding her body even more...... each of them twice, she could just destroy part of her head at the stage where she unleashed magic. It's just...

"You don't have to wipe it all out"

That's what I'm gonna say to Kuuza.

"The magic gathering point that is sealing the ability to play...... if you keep shooting magic into it, the place should gradually emerge as well. Or in the wake of the destruction caused by magic, the Apostle himself, the movements of magic should also become quite rough. If you can poke it there and completely destroy your ability to play..."

"Is that your immediate goal? But how far can you go"

I guess it depends on how much magic we can shoot... but if the Devals could afford it, it wouldn't be weird to let the magic bathe directly from the island and start attacking them, so unless there's any change in the Apostle from here on out, the war situation should have been an advantage...

Further changes came after me and Sophia unleashed their third magic, which hit them directly.

- Ooh, ooh, ooh.

Intimidation, rather than a howl as if you were determined to do something, was heard all the way to us. It is not a statement of intent to attack.

"What...?

Kuuza tried to unleash magic after us, whining. However,

At the next moment, the Apostolic Body… began to regenerate.

"Nah...!?"

"Suddenly...!?"

As Radi and Kati successively marvel, I fly down Devals the user demon who observes the Apostle above. It has a conversation function so I can immediately see what the situation is.

"Devals! We're starting to regenerate!

"... rather than being hit, this is the true summit of the apostle of the star god."

It was a voice as if it had chewed down a bitter bug.

"We are still exercising the Energetic Seal... but we have apparently disabled the magic"

"Disabled...!? That's what it had!?"

'No, if so, I would have used it from the beginning... perhaps the Apostle built a way to analyze and disable the capability seal in front of himself'

The Apostle of Star God plays more and more during the course of the conversation. The wound we unleashed magic twice and three times, so it won't be fully healed in an instant... but the wound will still be blocked within a short distance.

"The apostle of the star god... is it because it comes from the phantom beast, or was he given any ability by the star god... apparently he possesses the ability to evolve"

"Evolution…"

'In other words, keep evolving so that any obstruction can be prevented'

After telling him so, Devals began to smile bitterly.

"This is a power not even for us, the angels, or the demons, starting with the Demon King... and hence the Spirit, the phantom beast. I'm fundamentally changing the quality of magic if you say so… if you do business like that, you're supposed to need so much reassembly that you're no longer yourself '

"But the apostle of the star god can do it..."

'That's right. By the way, there are also species in this world that can survive reconstituting the quality of magic... it is humans that are typical. Some of the earlier species, including us, don't have flesh, and even if they do, magic matters. So we can't do things like change the quality of magic, but we can do it because the flesh has a strong connection to the spirit.'

"Human beings have gained the power... to evolve,"

Then what do we do... the wounds heal even while we are silent. Honestly, it didn't matter what our magic would do. But this state of affairs,

'... as I'm sure Mr. Luon knows, this operation is a failure'

Yes, Devals says.

"If you've been able to change the quality of your magic, then you can change your magic routine accordingly. Fortunately, it's emitting magic, and it's possible to analyze it. But I need time for that, and, well, during the attack, if it's instantly changed, there's no hitter here. '

"So you mean the second plan?

'That's right. Even if we analyze magic again and seal our abilities, we have to destroy them before they deactivate them again... that's all the firepower we have'

Whatever the method, the only way to win is to develop a technique that doesn't even exist anymore.

"This island abandons and returns once. Explain the situation to Phantom Beast Jin and Terra here. Let's discuss it on a base island '

"Then this island..."

"I am dissatisfied with the messenger becoming stronger, but I cannot do it. One thing to win… we must be stronger than the messengers of the star gods who eat the island '

- It was like it was a survival competition. Either we evolve to destroy the messenger, or the messenger who keeps eating the island ravages the world.

'Some island sacrifices are inevitable... but we have to do it anyway'

Devals concludes. It's just...

"Is there a way?

'One thing came to mind during preparation...... but honestly I think it's unrealistic. But only in that way, I can't resist the irrationality in front of me. "

Then we'll have to do it - I agree and go back to the base island one step ahead of the Devals.
