Sword of the Philosopher

The healing magic cured the injury, but the magic is not immediate.The wise man sits in a chair at the base and breathes.

Along with that, the wise man often has a place to turn his eyes.The discomfort with the distant forest you saw as you retreated earlier.I wonder what it is and whether it should be checked.

"... one thing, okay?"

A wise man asks a woman. Because I felt uncomfortable, I offered to investigate and the woman agreed.

"But be careful. As it stands, there are people who can follow you..."

"I know. I'm not going to be rude in this situation."

After responding to the woman, the wise man starts walking.The magic hasn't healed yet.Move your body somehow to move forward to the target point.

From the woods that eventually arrived... there were definitely signs, but they were never monstrous.But it's not like being an animal.

"... what?"

The wise man slowly enters the forest whispering.At least there's no hostility. The bushes are stirred up by the judgment that there will be no problem even though it is a full-bodied wound.

The wise man then encountered something he had never seen before.Same goes for me. An extremely colorful sphere... that's what it looks like to describe it, but something like that was floating in the air.

You can feel the magic from there.The wise man never stood up for weapons or took an interest in them.It was purely questionable.

"What did the demons leave behind? But there are signs..."

Well, I didn't know anyone would find me.

I heard a voice. The sphere definitely emitted it, and for the wise man... it sounded familiar to me, so I reflexively raised my cane.

"That voice... demon king!?"

Did you think that was the end of it?

Ruthless words are brought about... The battle between the wise man and the demon king must have taken the form of a seal.As long as the Demon King was alive until our time, it didn't seem to have been settled.

Human, you did well.Even though I will be destroyed by my hand, I deserve praise for having resisted this once. "

Against the talking Demon King, it seemed that the wise men had begun to think of a solution with their canes in place... In the first place, was it a fake that the wise men defeated?Or did the body just escape your consciousness like this?

"... I see."

It seems that the wise man understood what was happening to the Demon King.I held my staff and put my magic into it quietly.

"Why did you do this?"

And the wise ask. Was it meant to buy time, or was it a pure question?

Why do you ask me that?

"If you've valued me, don't you think there's a right to know?"

"... a lot of weird stuff.But may I speak of a souvenir to the Underworld?Nevertheless, nothing is going to destroy humans.Until this happens, the only way to keep fighting is to save the world. "

"What?"

The wise man answers. Of course.It seems ridiculous to speak of saving the world from the mouth of its mastermind in a situation of conquest.

It's true. There's something nestled in this world... No, let's just say it's there.Once upon a time, you human civilizations were destroyed by the presence of a deity called the Star God.An ancient weapon... would you understand if you fought with it? "

"Ancient nations long before we were born... disappeared by the star gods?"

Yes, and the gods of the stars still exist.After destroying everything, I fell asleep... but eventually I will be resurrected. "

"Are you trying to stop it?"

That's right.

As a wise man, it must be an incredible story... if all of a sudden you say you can trust the gods of the stars.Not to mention the demon King who is trying to destroy us.

Around the world, information about the star gods is sleeping.I'm sure we can still look into it now.I knew it, I was desperate... no matter how prosperous or how powerful it gets, it's just going to crush us in front of the star gods. "

"... that's why you invaded the continent to defeat him?"

"That's right. I use magic in this place... magic that strengthens the existence of the Magic King to the extreme.I gained a body and mind that could withstand the power.My body is gone, but I can rebuild it again.Still, the spirit remains.And just by destroying the vessel, you're at your limit... then it's over. "

"You think there's a replacement?"

That's right.

Point to the ruthless facts. Nevertheless, the Demon King who talks about it verabella seems to have a much sweeter side.

No, you're buying time because the real wise man blamed you....?Anyway, the battle is still going on.But the wise don't seem to win.

"Well done as a human being... I can ignore that achievement and just let you and that woman go?"

"... I'm sorry, but I can't do that."

Are you going to keep fighting? I know it's full of ingenuity.I can't win anymore.

Maybe so.

A wise man who admits lightly. Besides, the demon king remained silent for a while.You might have been surprised.

"But I'll decide my limits myself... hey, demon king, why don't you bet on one?"

Bet?

"I can understand that you're not just conquering the world... and that belief.If it goes this way, you win... but we haven't lost yet. "

It's true, but do you think it will be a match in this state of war?

"I wonder... if we win, if you're right, when will this world perish?"

Definitely.

"Then... if we win, we will succeed."

Hearing that, the Demon King silenced again.

"So don't worry, demon king."

That's a lot of grand language under the circumstances.

"Ah, maybe so..."

Increases the magic of the wise man. We're at our limit, and we're still trying to fight.

"I can't lose... that's all I can say."

"Well then... I'm afraid I'll have to disappear."

Declare, the darkness melts. The Demon King will be resurrected - and so will the wise.
