Sword of the Philosopher

It was Devals who launched the attack first. Light is ejected from the spear he grips, and he approaches me.

- Unlike Amel and Yuska, who fought earlier, there's not even some kind of magical trick. I could feel the strong power of purely trying to break through this one in the front. As angels... we dare to challenge ourselves from the front because of our pride in being strong.

In contrast, this one... decided to intercept. Receive a spear of light with a sword. An awesome shock comes from my body, but by cutting it off - I succeeded in putting it out.

"Brilliant. But not yet!

Yes, Devals shouted, releasing a spear intermittently. imminent immense magic. If we keep releasing all this power, it's going to run out of gas soon...... well if it's a disposable premise weapon, is this operation natural?

I take it, I bounce it off. It must be a powerful attack, and if you hit it straight, it's going to be a pain in the ass even though there's no damage... and here's one thing I realized.

Keep playing the spears of light that are rolled out one after the other, and still dare Devals attack... but the magic hidden in the spears is greatly diminished.

After all, when I thought it wouldn't last long... the blade tip of the spear finally collapsed. At the same time, the light emitted weakened rapidly and the magic broke off before it reached me.

So Devals retreats. I decided to drop it off and wait for the way out.

Silence arises between the two sides. The spears are starting to wear out, and Devals isn't launching an attack in those circumstances either.

And

"... more brittle than I expected"

Yes, he shrugged.

"In action, the durability changes depending on the magic power of the user… I thought I could work a little harder."

"I didn't take the spear directly... but if I'd hit it, I might have smashed it."

"Oh, it must be"

Saying so, Devals threw a spear backwards. Then Nell retrieves it and throws the new spear at Devals.

"The next spear... but its magical power is a threat"

"I feel a little saved when you say that... it's an irreplaceable technique compared to the Demons and dragons... but it would help if you could hang out with me a little more"

"I don't mind that..."

I refer to the head of heaven here.

"Earlier attacks, I'm pretty sure they were powerful, and there was an atmosphere of quantity over quality"

"Than one magic, it's true that you did make it a policy to get quantities out. I just want to improve the quality from here."

"Well... the problem is. What would have happened if I'd done it all earlier?

Devals frowns.

"What was going on, what?

"No, I know this space we're in is protected by strong barriers... but it's the most magical class of attacks I've ever had, isn't it? Isn't it right that if you get an intermittent attack like that, you won't even have a barrier in this room?

Devals regains his spear and looks at me... the look on his face...

"... yeah, maybe it does"

"Well, you didn't consider that area, did you?

"No, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Couldn't afford to consider the surrounding damage in the process of creating the weapon...... yeah, you sure do"

And as I said, Devals put up a spear.

"The faces that Mr. Leon fought first were in such a way that there was no damage to his surroundings due to technological changes, but only angels were different."

"... there's a chance this place could break. I've told you enough about the power, so why don't you stop it around here?

Devals is often silent on the proposal. But the spear will not collapse.

I don't know what to do...... he thinks

"Until this weapon breaks, let's do it. I haven't tried it yet."

"You can't avoid that as far as I'm concerned, can you? 'Cause if I screw up badly, the room will be destroyed."

"Right...... but Mr. Luon isn't even willing to run, is he?

"That kind of provocative behavior, I'm not going to get on..."

If this looks like it, I'll try to fight for some reason... I don't know what else to do.

"... you got the data, didn't you? I also understand to a certain extent that you received a sword for your power."

"Right."

"Then the next and last... So, okay?

"That's fine... no need to spare this one"

The spear shines. I'm pretty sure you're trying to unleash magic the same way you did earlier, but apparently it's a more cumbersome method of warfare than just now.

To parable...... earlier every piece of magic was unleashed one after the other like an arrow. But now we bind that arrow together and shoot out something huge like a shell... well, instead of releasing it in a row, we concentrate and eject our forces?

However, it also seems to pay the price...... the spear started making noises with the guillotine. If you try to unleash magic at once, it can damage the weapon... it seems faster to unbearably self-destruct by unleashing magic in one go than to consume all the magic.

You know, I think I understand.

And Devals said.

"Unlike earlier, we bind magic into one... but since there is also a limit to the amount of magic that can be released at a time, we are unable to fully deploy it and retain it at the limit of the weapon... well that's it after one shot"

"It's powerful, but compared to the forces that converged on Resvail -"

"I'm sure it's inferior. Unfortunately, with current technology, this is the limit... but it's good to know that limit. Next, drill more technology to get beyond this."

... Angel Limits, huh? The spear Devals hold definitely has the overwhelming power to just slaughter a large number of demons. But neither does its power prevail before the apostle of the star god.

I guess I regretted it as Devals when I came to that conclusion. That is why I believed in the possibilities of angels and developed this armament. It's far from complete... but he showed me his power now and tried to make me recognize it.

All the power of an angel... then shall I take this one directly from the front? Is that such a thing as courtesy to Devals?

I boost my magic silently. That seems to have been the reply and received...... Devals, immediately after a grin, moved to shed light - this one packed the intermission at once to respond and fleshed out to Devals.
