Sword of the Philosopher
Intervention of the Wise
Immediately after the magic ran through my body, my movements stopped completely... no, it's better that I can't move anymore.
"I see, this is it....!
Speaking out, I turn my attention to my right hand. I held my palm and tried to open it... but I needed it for about ten seconds.
Your body stays standing, but you can't move your feet well... unlike, for example, shoulders that weigh so much that you can't physically move. This feels like something is being used on the soles of your feet, even restraint magic, to prevent you from moving.
"Until now, Lord Leon has leveraged his power... and gained so much power from his ability."
García begins the commentary.
In the first place, it didn't go well with other weapons and protective equipment... but Lord Leon basically fought like that. Of course, it is not that Lord Leon does not have the help of others, as he has a track record of defeating the apostles of the Star God among the organizers. But "
So García stopped talking.
"... I've been wondering for a long time. It was the wise man who reincarnated Lord Leon. And the source of that power is in the star gods."
Oh, yeah.
But in that case, Lord Leon would have embraced all sorts of magic. Beyond the attributes of the Star God, it is more likely that Lord Leon will gain strength from the outside. But that's not true... because of the intervention of the wise man. "
"So you don't want to be like the star god?
"Hmm. To be perfectly clear, I don't want to be taken in by the star gods... I don't want to be human on the side of the star gods."
The wise man reincarnated me to defeat the gods of the stars... and that would be the same for the other reincarnated.
"Apart from Lord Leon, I can say the same about Alan... but only Lord Leon stands on this stage."
"And for what reason?
After all, the seeds sown by the wise man germinated only to Lord Leon. Regardless, consider Lord Leon's power to be in conflict with the star gods. It comes from the Star God, but by the intervention of the wise man, it is a different existence. That's why magic is so special... if you don't do so much, you'll never get along with others. This is both a benefit and a disadvantage. "
That's what Garc says. In the meantime, I'll move my body little by little.
I can certainly oppose the star gods as long as I don't interact with other magical powers. However, it is difficult to rely easily on the power of others... weapons and so on. Lord Leon made up for the difficulty by training, and it gained unparalleled strength by performing his work. Because it's a special magic, I'm sure it made me stronger. "
"But in the battle against the star gods....."
"Hmm. That's why it's a challenge... but it's not difficult. Simply put, the magical faction we created… imparts our magic and other magic to Lord Leon, and makes it his own… pseudo-self. That's the kind of technique that we have."
As a result, there is a status quo... Garc's magic is trying to connect my magic with an external magic force in the middle of the day. But it feels like my body is fighting to reject it.
My body doesn't move as much as it thinks, but this is because my magic doesn't recognize external magic as my own, so it's also interfering with my body's movement... It might be closer to the right thing to say that my body doesn't listen to what I say than that my body is heavy.
Neither does the wise man simply think that man can win alone to the star gods... That's why he provided all kinds of information. As a result, Lord Leon is preparing for the final battle, involving himself, Princess Sofia... and many other races. I don't know if this was the wise man's plan, but it was definitely the development he wanted. "
"As it is now, I'm ready for everything....!
Zun! and take a step forward. My feet finally started to move, but it was still going to take some time for me to move normally.
"Garc, what can you do if you get used to this?
I don't know because it is the first time for me. But I think it's very likely.
"So, once you've completed this challenge...."
We will carry out a full-scale plan to combat the star gods...
At that time, my vision blurred for a moment. I don't lose consciousness or anything like that. My body is difficult to move, but I am not feeling ill.
"... eh?
What's wrong?
"Master Leon?
You feel uncomfortable, and Sofia shouts. I blinked several times. The scenery does not change anything. But what was that feeling...?
"No, I'm sorry. I'm not used to it yet..."
That's what I was about to say. In front of me... someone stood right in front of me, as if they had been there from the beginning.
At some point... the other person looked at me and said something. By contrast, I...
"Ah...."
Lord Leon!?
"Dear Leon!?"
Garc and Sofia raise their voices against me, tilting my body. But I don't want to fall, and I stand upright with my feet together.
Immediately afterwards, I noticed that my body was much lighter. Looks like this... closes or opens both fists. This was done as usual.
Then jump gently. Yeah, I can do it normally.
"What... how quickly did you adapt?"
That's right, Mr. Leon.
Both of them praise me... but I doubt it. That person... doesn't look like a star god. That's...
Here, Garc interrupted his magic activation. Your strength just disappears... but your body doesn't get heavier or lighter. At the end of the day, I was able to move normally.
The first challenge is perfect...... Hmm, Lord Leon is special after all.
"No... I wonder."
While I was scratching my head... I wonder, I felt something like help. Somehow, you did everything you had to do in training.
Hmm, it's unexpected to accept it at this pace, but I'm glad it's a miscalculation. But let's take a break. Along with that, I'll see if there's anything wrong with my condition. "
"Oh, okay."
Even as I nodded... the sight just now stuck in my head and I couldn't get away.
