Sword of the Philosopher

The operational meeting lasted several hours from there. The opponent is out of standard, so this one also fights in a way that is out of standard... it still takes a while to figure out what's going on. The apostle continues to devour the island as it stands, but now he has nothing else to leave behind.

And we decided to get on with Devals' suggestion, but the content is magnificent. The discussion went on everywhere and was endless.

"Ha, I knew it, but it's hard to draw conclusions."

Devals shrugs as he bolts his head.

Everyone is arguing and worried about the face of the organization and the child Garc who thinks on the desk. In doing so, one conclusion was drawn as to what to do about the power of the Demon Nation.

"Honestly, I don't know how far you can go..."

That's Oldia's presence. There were other candidates for Amel, but she said "no" at the time.

"I do know about Luon, but I was a Demon King candidate, and I don't deserve it as a position"

That is the claim, and as a result of the satisfaction of others, he settled in Oldia.

In addition to being born between humans and demons, it is above all the blood muscles of the wise - two of which enable us to follow Sophia and others even in unforeseen circumstances.

He will have the bracelet he obtained at Demon King's Castle - Croix, son of the Demon King, will use the weapons he said bow and arrow. It's just...

"I never dealt with bows and arrows in the first place."

Yeah, I know that, too. The only thing in the game was the sword.

"No, just because you're going to use the power of that bracelet in this operation, it's a little different than treating it as a bow and arrow, so why don't you figure it out?

"But there's just gonna be a need to get familiar with weapons, right?

Uh, is that true, too?

"... Katie, you did some validation on the bracelet, right?

"I did it before in the presence of Mr. Devals. I'm in charge."

I couldn't immediately decide who to use it on, but I checked the performance in case the user showed up. On that basis,

"Croix, the current demon king, called it a bow and arrow, but technically this is not like holding an arrow and attacking... it's possible to attack with a sword"

"Can we make a difference in the way we handle it?

"That sort of thing. Let me tell you something, the bracelet is just a flying tool."

More precisely, cannons…? Gather the explosive magic present inside the bracelet for powerful artillery fire. Just a weapon created by Demon King candidate Bizel, for example, given its size and so on. That one seems more powerful too. However,

"Actually, that weapon had powerful features"

"Function?"

"Like demons and phantom beasts, it increases its power over magical beings. It's hard to explain how hard it is... but it doesn't work twice or triple."

I don't know what purpose the Demon King created these weapons, but if they were created to counter the Star God... I can snort that they are properties like this, and more effective against the Star God opponent than the weapons that were in the Demon Realm - even against the Apostle.

"So I entrust Oldia's bracelet... but you need training to handle it freely"

"We are currently verifying how long it will last."

Terra says. Jin and I are face-to-face and glittering with the map.

"I am currently exploring the magic of an apostle eating the island. The first stage of observation and the state in which Lord Luon and his men attacked. More magic gained by eating islands… estimate them and derive how enhanced '

How strong is eating one island going to make it... If it doesn't get as strong as I thought it would be, it's going to take a long prep period... If I can do it, should I deal with it right away because it will crush the mirage of the phantom beast...

'... um, if we take this increase into account...'

"For one thing, the attack itself didn't seem to be in vain."

And, Jin speaks. What's this all about?

"There is no doubt that the apostles greatly reduced their magic power as a result of the attacks of Mr. Luon and his men. If you keep doing powerful attacks again and again, I'd like to think that one day... but it's unrealistic considering the total amount of magic. So, apparently the amount of magic you're getting from eating the island isn't that much."

"... if you eat all of the island, how long will you recover?

"Right, somewhat enhanced compared to the first stage of observation, or something like that? It's just that huge. Even if it's a little bit more magical from us, it's going to be a lot bigger."

For one thing, how much reinforcement was stopped by the attack?

"Therefore, not so much enhancement on one island… but if you eat exactly two or three, it's different"

"We'll do something about it here"

And, Jin starts talking. I don't know.

"It is impossible to stop because there is fast regeneration, but the enhancement can be suppressed beyond consuming magic every time it regenerates. We will continue to attack intermittently over here about it, so that we do not somehow ascend the Apostolic Capability"

'Nevertheless, don't expect too much'

Now Terra starts talking.

"Prepare for a direct confrontation with the star gods and use what you were prepared for...... you may have some good fight, but with what you have prepared here it may be tough to create destruction like Lord Luon and the others"

"Not so long ago, the apostle... do you mean the star gods are more opponents than expected"

'Well... in a way, phantom beasts - maybe he was proud of being different from other races'

"That's a yes."

And, the gin continues.

"Like my abilities didn't work, if I was fighting, my phantom beast would have been wiped out if I was bad. We were watching sweetly somewhere in our hearts with concern. If the phantom beasts gather, the attack will be easy."

After that, Jin sighed deeply.

"This battle made me unconscious... but I could avoid the tragedy of putting up a reckless battle and wiping it all out. Let's make it good."

"... back to you"

Sophia opened her mouth next.

"We said we'd rein in the enhancement, but then it wouldn't make a difference to keep eating the island, would it?

"That's, well, that's the part where you can't help it. I just can't get zero sacrifices or sacrifices… I just want to get something worthy of the price"

"How long do you think you can stop strengthening?

"Right..."

Jin is silent. As we remained silent, he eventually responded to Sofia.
