Sword of the Philosopher

Immediately after the enemy appears, explore magic. Angel's Armor...... but that's apparently a replica.

"Bringing the real thing is a avoided form."

"... now it seems like we're going to push in numbers."

Silvi squeaks. Further demons from the rear of the first demon I could see.

That could have been described as forming a row. If we line up like that on the ground, it would be magically exhaustive, but in the cave, the story is slightly different.

Exactly unleashing the magic of an extensive system risks causing the cave to collapse. I want to avoid being buried alive, and most importantly, even the location of the ruins of angels is buried, so it's natural, but you shouldn't do it. Therefore, we use small-scale magic and so on... but that makes it difficult to defeat them all at once.

Well, there's a way to do it... but if it feels like it, the demons are going to push on. The magic of the range system is dangerous because if demons spread out and become a mix-up, they could also shoot their allies... it would be easy to fight normally because the situation is different from outside.

"At least, there are no tough enemies... no, angel weapons inside... there may be a mixture of individuals in possession of the real thing. Fight with caution."

After successive replies to the instructions, the allies began engaging. The demons were all over the place when we approached them. Sounds like the mastermind is going to bring it into the development I was concerned about.

It's a replica, but you should want to sharpen this ability wherever possible... but if it's a real weapon, it's still just a fake... and now you can't stop this one.

I lay down my sword and match it with the approaching demon... but I immediately use my strength to break each replica's sword. I do not know the characteristics of the weapons, etc., but I know in the raid on the village that with some effort we can defeat them sparingly. So let me do it relentlessly.

Continue to slap the demon nearby. The opponent can't even react and vanishes lightly. There's nothing wrong with me.

What about my people...... Sylvie is standing in front of me and waving her sword. Its sharpness and speed do not even allow it to take the means to cope with demons, decreasing the number one after the other.

Other members besides her have been annihilated only seconds after being relative to the demons. Can't you deal with a monster equipped with a replica? In the village and elsewhere, we needed to focus on defense, so we needed to do the right thing, but this time we're attacking and we're even getting reinforcements. Though the opponent has a local interest, the power difference is widening rather than narrowing. For the enemy, is this supposed to be, or is it more than expected?

"Huh!"

It was a raid by demons that could also be called squadrons, but in just a few moments it quickly decreases in number. Apparently angel weapons...... no individual possesses the real thing. Is it painful that I used it in the last raid?

If so, this is a good opportunity for us… eventually we will defeat all the demons. There are no injured people here either. It was just a complete victory.

"As for the monster with the replica, do you want to deal with it?"

"Though different from ordinary demons"

Alto waves the sword gently and barely, stating.

"The battle against the Demon King… for those of us who have gained experience in the battle against the Star God, there is no problem."

Don't be alarmed, Alto.

"I know."

After responding to Caln's words, Alto turns his neck to me.

"At this rate, I'm going to take down the demon and find out if there's any ruins... right?

"That's right. I didn't know where you came from about the demons earlier... but if you repeat the fighting, you'll know where the demons hide themselves. That narrows down the location of the mastermind"

"It's not necessarily the same place where there's demons and there's masterminds, is it?

"Sure, but... even the mastermind wants to keep the demon on hand, right? Even if it means" escort. "

"Well, it's true... that if we look for places where many demons appear, we may inevitably reach the mastermind,"

"It's only a prediction... well even if the mastermind is in the wrong place, we can reduce the number of demons... it's not a bad development for us"

It is a concern when it comes to it, because we also have to put long-term warfare in perspective, beyond just not knowing where the other person is. It will be bad if we don't get rid of the anxiety in town and village quickly, so that depends on how quickly we find our base.

"There's a chance that demons will sporadically set you up, and there's a way to use it to find out where you are... well, you should move actively"

"I wonder if the demon has gone the other way."

Kati's words. It will be easy to move in the direction of the demon.

This cave is like a maze, so I might be taking a detour or something to keep them from understanding where they are... but anyway, I'm just going to have to base my progress on information that's going to be clues.

"All right, let's move on."

Yes, it was when I called my people.

Pakin, and I heard a dry noise. That wasn't weird to think of the sound of broken ice or anything like that... but I wasn't. The sound occurred with magic.

"... what?

"Now you've got some weird magic."

Kati is in tune. If you turn your gaze, you are also nodding about kuza and ignos.

Did something happen to us when we broke in? Or did the mastermind set something up to see what we were capable of? There were a lot of questions, but the only way to confirm them was to move on.

The direction I heard was the path the demon had taken. The magic just occurred for a moment with the sound, and there has been no change since.

"... it's not like the cave collapses or anything, is it?

Caln raises his voice as if he was somewhat anxious. Not unlikely story, but if that kind of trick worked, there should be a sound as well as a grunt, etc.

Because there is no change in the cave, it is probably not...... I give instructions to my people to move on and start walking.

Apparently the battle is headed to the next phase...... with the sound of earlier, kind of a bad feeling, we moved on to the back of the cave.
