Sword of the Philosopher

Steps required for descent

”Well... now that I've been found, I guess I'll have to fight”

The man tells me only with a long attitude... because it is under the circumstance of magic power disabling, my abilities will not be discerned... it is also a benefit in a sense because it is unlikely that I can escape if I take into account that I will not be exposed by magic power.

I held my sword in silence... my figure is close to Luon based on the game.Therefore, if you don't remember me, you're unlikely to be a reincarnated person... well, I'm a true storyteller, and unless it's a medium where many characters appear like in the game, it's unlikely that I'll be on my own--

"I'll finish you off with a single blow."

The man says, "Attack us."As before, I didn't name myself.I don't know what mechanism it is, but considering that telling the name strengthens the ability, I don't even think it's necessary...

Because it's in a building, spears are inconvenient---but their movement is sharp and inconvenient to fight at the same time, so it's difficult to dodge the spears that were released.

I was able to perfectly grasp the movement of the opponent and avoid sharp spikes.While the opponent opened his eyes and was surprised, we turned to counterattack.

The sword flashed and the blade entered the opponent.Then he groaned and tried to retreat.

However, I quickly set up a pursuit and decided to hit the sky... of course, it was a spike.However, I adjusted it so that it stunned with a single blow of magic power... even if I didn't eject magic power, I could still use some magic power to stand around.

And for the stunned man...... after a bit of thinking, I decided to leave the restraint magic outside near the entrance.When I found the knight, I contacted him... and went out for the time being.

Spot the area and see if there are any other enemies.At this rate, we can find Lodden.

"... nh?"

Feel the new signs. Besides, this time, there were multiple people.In addition, I discover the appearance of a knight as he travels through the city.

So I summoned the knights first.Informs that there are stunning people in the library, and reports that they have found enemies through sightings.

I'll take care of it, so can you catch the person who fainted?

I see……………………………………………………………………………

The knight who talks to me looks around.He seems to care that I'm the only one here.

Princess Emena must have told us about us, and she knows more or less about our strengths... I can understand that she can fight Roden and the others if she sees the battle so far, but she still cares about fighting alone...

It's okay.

For the time being, I responded.The knight was still in a state of shock... but eventually nodded tinyly,

If you need backup, we'll be in touch.

Yes.

With a reply, I stepped into that place... it was an adventurer's guild.Due to my presence in the capital, the building was quite large and the wide entrance greeted me.

And by entering the building, I was able to detect the signs without using magic.The total number of people is five.This many people were in the guild, were they originally waiting in this place, or were they gathered to see the situation?

”...... you didn't step on me like that, did you?”

A man emerges from the shadows.He looked like a skinhead in his thirties and narrowed his eyes at me.

”Alone, I guess... but I have more to win than just coming here.”

That's right.

When I answer, the man shrugs his shoulders.

"It's something I've been licked... but I think it's enough for one person in a war situation..."

"I'm not being alarmed."

Men don't answer anything I say.I just felt something.

"... we can't just leave them alone."Let's start the counterattack here. "

From the back, adventurers appeared.The equipment was uneven and fragmented, but everyone, including the skinhead man, had their swords pointed at their hips.

Among them, I noticed a man who appeared from the second floor.Even in his mid-twenties, he had blond hair... and his face looked more like an aristocrat than an adventurer.

The man frowned when he saw me.

"... you..."

Hmm, do you know anything about that?The question was about to come out, but the opponent silently pulled out his sword without saying anything more.

If you're going to call for reinforcements, how about now?

I've got a question, but I keep my sword quiet.It seemed that our intentions had been conveyed, and the skinhead man had a dazed look on his face.

"Sounds good... but we need to do a lot of work to turn things around."I'll let you be a hostage. "

Just to be sure, you're the leader here?

I asked, but the opponent didn't answer... In the meantime, the five swordsmen were coming at me.

--For the time being, I understood that all of us here are quite capable of fighting.At the same time, I can see why they kept these forces hidden.

I don't know what Loden was trying to do to stop time, but I'm sure he was trying to use this situation to do something... to bring down the Star God.However, it was probably a step forward.

First, the entire town was stopped, and then the adventurers were manipulated to attack important buildings.The concentration in the park suggests that there was something necessary for Loden to... the arrival of the Star God.But that's not the end.In front of me, there are people who are obviously not manipulated adventurers.With that in mind, they may have taken over important parts of the city and been trying to attack somewhere else.

The ultimate goal is undoubtedly the Royal Castle... If the people here are the ones to conquer the Royal Castle, I will explain.

Well, then... my enemies are closing in on me while I think in my chest.So I switched thoughts -- I stepped forward.
