Sword of the Philosopher

I look to Loden and wonder when I'm going to step in... I'm in a situation where I'm neutralizing magic power, but there's magic power in this building.In addition, the opponent was a Reincarnator...... Vim's words crossed his mind and he was driven by the urge to question, but he managed to withstand it and missed the chance to attack.

If we don't defeat them here, the battle won't end... As it stands, our victory may seem assured, but we may still have the means to resist, and if we can get away with it, the battle will be lost.If there's a solution, I'd like to identify it.

"You're alert." If it's the same reincarnated person, of course. "

Loden looked at my attitude and raised his hands.

"Look, I'm surrendering."

"...... I can't really trust you."

As I gaze at it... gradually, I understand the magical power in this space.

This is what Katie observed emanating from the basement.Given that Loden was there and that I came up here... is it really underground?

Even though Loden fell, while I was still thinking... they started laughing.

"I'm not relaxed at all... that prediction is correct."It's set to trigger when I die. "

"The magic power of the underground..."

When I looked for signs, there were clear signs underground... Magic Power Nullification was only activated in anticipation of the whole town.If it's quite underground, it won't trigger the effect.

Did you create a monster?

"I'd like to say something like that... but it's okay to talk about it separately"

Loden shrugged his shoulders. Let's give it up somewhere, and it was a strange expression that made me appreciate how we fought.

”In a nutshell, yes... it's a miniature version of the Star God.”

"What...?"

"It was not created with the power of the star gods."In other words, it is a pseudo-stellar god... who mediated the spirit wisp to imitate the existence in the center of the stars in this world. "

Speaking of which, I couldn't see the Spirit Wisp.Although there are no spirits in the Magic Nullify space, there is no such thing as...

Is this what the Spirit wanted?

"Of course..." I'd like to say, but it's actually close to a deception.I needed some kind of reward for his help in the name of power... I'm sure he got it.However, I don't know if it leaves reason as a spirit. "

It's quite a mess... so I remember the battle.

"Suddenly, there was a person dressed in pitch-black, but it was--"

"It's part of the research." That said, the magic that humans possessed was the limit. "

I was silent against Loden, who shrugged my shoulders.When you hear the story so far,

"I don't know what to do if Star God descends... Vim told me, but I don't know the truth."But there's only one thing I know... no matter what inhumane thing you do, you're sure to do what you want. "

"That's right. This hand is only a last resort, and I'm going to fall down again... but I'm going to build a path that can bring down the star gods, and I'm going to leave it to you."

"That's it, Star God...?"

Believe what Vim says, he feels... but I doubt it's true.

"Did Vim tell you that?Even if you're half skeptical... someone must fulfill the descent of the Star God. "

"What... are you talking about?"

"I also thought of defeating the Star God."But how do we defeat that mighty being?... That's why we can't fight without the people of this world.There is no such absurd story, is there? "

I just keep listening to Loden... silently.

"That's why humanity... it's not the only way to survive the existence of this world. If someone is to gain power from the star gods and create a new world, they have to create a new one."

Is that why you're letting me come?

"That's right... that's why I've prepared such a troublesome solution."

Loden speaks... I haven't told you the details, but I can roughly understand what he thought.

The very scenario of a star god descending is certain given the future that the wise man has seen.No matter what path you take, the star gods appear on the earth... where Loden tries to stand as the star god side.By doing so, you can gain power from the star gods.I tried to use that power to create the world.

"... the power I get from the star gods is only from the star gods"

I'm going to question Loden.

“I don't know if it's really going to be something that can create the world?”

"Of course, but I didn't have a choice... I knew I would be defeated by a mighty enemy, or I could meet them, gain strength, and rebuild my world... or I could choose between the two."It's clear which one to choose, isn't it? "

I didn't answer anything.If I had been in the same situation, I might have made that choice.

"The Star God is definitely coming."Even if we stop civil strife in this country, it will definitely trigger a descent somewhere.It's a fact that no matter how much you resist, it won't work. ”

I guess so.

"That's why I chose. Even though it's a lot of exaggerated delusions to think of myself as the Creator, I still had to do it."

"Why did you do that?"

"Because I knew it. All of it."

- He did the best he could.As a result, it became a form dedicated to star gods.

"... I understand what you're trying to say."

I point the tip of my sword at Loden.

"Whatever the noble reason... you must pay for your sins in this country."

"If you fail, you will be prepared for capital punishment."I don't think you'd want to pursue that point anymore. "

I narrowed my eyes at the decisive words... and put my sword back in place.

"Then this is the end."

A miniature version of Star God… Is there a way to beat it?

"I don't know... but I..."

Tell Loden... to deny his words head-on.

"I... we have the skills to fight the star gods"

At that moment, Loden tried to scratch his hand - he reacted faster and took a step and released his sword.

A blow hits the head and Loden falls to his knees... and the battle in the Royal Capital is finally over.
