Sword of the Philosopher

"Are you here?"

Ordia... and Romilda were close to him when one of Loden's crew arrived.

That's a strange arrangement.

The person I told you about was an old man... a skinny, gray-haired man with a sword on his waist.Compared to the gadia that Lise and the others were opposed to, their body looks poor... but it is clear that they are not ordinary swordsmen in such areas as waist and movement.

"A swordsman, a child... well, when this magic isn't working, I know it's a pretty good use."

The men wave to the adventurers behind them - no, the swordsmen.If you look closely, they're all equally close to the outfits of the leading men... like apprentices or something?

"You work for Loden?"

When Oldia asks for confirmation, the man laughs.

Have you figured out the situation? Very well... it's Ezwa-Brodell. "

"... why do you name it?"

Oldia asks surprisingly. By contrast, the man, Ezwa,

"Besides, we just need a few steps to get serious."

Gently pull out the sword. The opposing Ordia... even with the Magic Disable, Ordia can step into it in one step, but she won't attack.Until then, Ezwa has no gaps.

Master level… Unlike anywhere else, does it make any sense that he visited the park?

"You don't have to worry about naming... oh, you don't have to. Forget it."

Oldia drew her sword silently.Then Romilda, who is in the rear, also stands.Sofia used to say that she taught the same kind of self-defense.Nevertheless, basically, the main attack is to use the weapon that brings together the Dragon clan's power.In an environment of magic disabling, I think she might be able to take a leap... but of course there's a reason she's in the park.

"... as we discussed earlier"

Oldia groans little to Romilda.She nodded with cockroach and took a step back.

"Are you gonna fight alone?"

Ezwa asks. Then the swordsman who was around him comes forward.

Are you surrounded by apprentices?

Oh, that's right.

"... why follow my disciples and help Loden?"

"For a great purpose."

Again, that dialogue... I don't know how Loden solicited it, but at least it's clear that persuasion doesn't work.

"I'm busy. I have plans ahead of me, so let's get this over with."

When Ezwa tells him, his disciples go further... there are five disciples.Not manipulating the Adventurer as we have just done, so you won't be able to do more than your potential, but the trouble is definitely up.

On the other hand, Oldia looks sharply at the opponent while holding her second sword.How are you going to fight?

Ezwa and the others are slowly approaching.We don't have much time to engage... one of our apprentices rushed to Ordia.

It's a sharp move, no match for the manipulated adventurer.They are acting of their own free will, whereas that is what they were forced to pull out of.Based on that, it was clear which one was more powerful.

At once, Oldia was stuck in between, and he reacted again, even though he wasn't moving.But one of his disciples waved down his sword.Typically, the timing is not in time.

But Oldia responded brilliantly.It bounces back when it receives a sword that has been fired.Shortly after the opponent raised his voice slightly, his blade passed through the swordsman.

Although it was a blow, the opponent blew up at once and was unable to accept it properly and crashed into the ground.And when he stopped, he couldn't move... he fainted.

"Hurry up... what did you say?"

Well, let's do it.

Ezwa responded praiseworthy to Oldia's move.

"I didn't expect to get hit by a single blow... and I'm stunning you.I can't do it without a difference in strength. "

Now you know what Oldia is capable of... but he's not being serious.Even if the disciples jump in at the same time, they have enough strength to respond... I think we can win if we fight at this rate...

"Well, that doesn't change the policy."

Other apprentices are closing their distance.But Oldia doesn't move. Apparently, he himself is going to fight like a counter. The reason for this is:

"I understand. You're worried about the girl in the back."

The allegation was undoubtedly correct.Oldia is not moving because she suspects Romilda in the rear.Romilda, on the other hand, looks at Ezwa in silence.

"The reason for this is some kind of support magic... no, that's impossible in this situation.I don't suppose you're here for any reason to get your feet together.After all, I'm having enough trouble pulling my feet right now. "

Be vigilant... I'm trying to analyze Oldia's abilities and guess Romilda's role.

However, Romilda doesn't know anything about it, and even if she can guess, she can't be sure... the question is how does Oldia move?Even in the case of Magic Disable, Romilda has the means to fight.That's why I placed it with him… The Oldia had an atmosphere of fighting alone while protecting her.

"... what do you want to do?"

One of his disciples asked Ezwa.He murmured, "Hmm."

"There seems to be a solution, but it makes no sense to think about them... should we push them through here?"

The decision was quick. Nevertheless, in view of the current situation, which does not necessarily require other enemies to come, there was a temptation to end the fight.

They also seem to want to finish the fight early... but why?The Rhodes are moving apart to various locations, but is there a time limit?

As the doubts swelled, the battle between the Ordians resumed.... At Ezwa's behest, the disciples all began a raid on the Ordians.
