Sword of the Philosopher

More power in maintaining resonance...... it's easy to put it into words, but you can see how tight that is if you look at Reese.

"Can you go?

I'll ask, but she won't concentrate and answer. Other members seem to be struggling, but we just have to watch.

In the meantime, I unleashed magic once. 'Resonance' is maintained, so it is powerful, and it definitely sharpens the magic of the Apostle… but it still receives it somehow.

"If you keep shooting magic at the output as it is... what happens?

"Just stormed this way, it shouldn't be like that."

Yes, Devals explains.

"The contents are supposed to be worn out more than all that magic you've been subjected to... even if you reach the island, restoring your health should be a priority. It's just not strange to go into battle in the process"

If they approach me, I will attack them directly... but I play and endure all that magic using 'resonance' as it stands... Given that, is it tough to be a decision maker?

If I can, I want to increase my power and decide the battle... then I have a step more magic to converge. I hear Reese made it.

"Can we go?!?"

"I don't have much time because I can't."

"Ok...... but now I push it off!

Shortly after I screamed, I boosted my magic all at once and unleashed it again. That's responsive magic compared to earlier - it flies to the apostle of the star god at more speeds than just now!

A moment of intense light appeared in front of us. Even if we subtract the fact that the Apostle is slightly closer than when we first shot him, we can see that its size is increasing.

The roar sees the surroundings and vibrates the body. As a result of Reese and the others increasing their output... that should never be a big one. But with all the races gaining strength in one step - and even more synergy with my magic - it was possible to create a tremendous amount of power.

The light goes out. Apostles visible from the sea were more damaged than earlier. No, that's not all.

"Is that... light?

Something like blue light was born in the body of the Apostle.

"Apparently, that light is destiny"

Devals speaks. That means

"Body to maintain regenerative capacity, etc. That's it, apparently."

"Then swallow whatever's my magic."

"Oh, I can take you down"

Quickly unleash magic. Reese's face looks pretty bitter, not as far away as the limit point.

I put up a battle within what I was able to sustain - yes I let go again whining in my heart. Light envelops the Apostle, and vision is blocked.

But only magic... only the magic of the Apostle is firmly perceived. I did feel it squeeze rapidly. Apparently, I can't stand this magic.

I guess our attack didn't arrive critical enough to maintain playback speed. I was about to turn it into a structure that would just endure magic while changing my body. However, the equilibrium collapsed due to the increase in output.

Immediately afterwards, the signs of the Apostle disappeared from the front of us. I knocked him down - the moment I felt that way, my eyes turned white, my consciousness - and suddenly he flew to the other side.

"That's right, let's just say"

If you notice, it's a white world there. Right in front of me is what I look like... a star god.

"I did all the prep and defeated him with hassle... let's say this is the power of the world"

"After all, what did you want?

That's what I was asking. At the same time, I stare at the star god.

"Do you have a reason to do this?

"If I say I do, I say I don't. It's just that there's a lot going on here... and maybe this time, it means I got hit myself."

"What?"

When I asked back, the star god smiled slightly.

"You can't just tell me the details... so shall we leave now? When will we meet again?

"... did you show your face to talk about this?

In response to pure inquiry, Star God laughs small.

"That's right. Do you need any other reason?

"... no, it was a mistake to ask you why in the first place"

I do it because I want to. I guess that's the intention. There's no such thing as wanting to see me there.

"Then wait... sooner or later, to defeat you"

"Oh, I'm looking forward to it."

The star god turned his back on me as he nicked.

"This one is always waiting. You can give it to me whenever you want...... but I don't even seem to be able to afford it. It's going to be a showdown not so far away, but if you come... be prepared."

"I know."

After throwing those words, Star God disappeared. At the same time, my space breaks down a little bit.

"... what did the earlier words mean?

Before my consciousness flies from this place, I just think a little bit. Star God said he was hit. Does that mean that the very creation of that apostle was unplanned?

If so, what did you do it for... I'm pretty sure you just tried to do us harm, and the mystery just deepens.

"If you fight the star god, you'll know straight away... maybe"

Because of the lack of information, it doesn't seem to make much sense to discuss it.

Well, it reminds me of this battle. We have gained a new power called 'resonance', but how strong can we use this?

More than just having the power to defeat the Apostle, this technique will be just the trump card for us. But it takes enormous magic to defeat the star god body. Stargod defeat is probably not possible with the current output...... more than that, the organization 'Elders Sword' may focus on this research in the future.

Should I talk to the Devals later... eventually my consciousness will be interrupted. At the last moment, I turned my attention only once to where the star god stood. Naturally, there's nothing left. I just remembered that my face appeared on the front, and again I thought it was kind of odd.

If I could grasp the details of Star God, would this feeling improve a little too... consciousness surfaces with that in mind? The battle between us and the apostle of the Star God thus came to an end.
