Sword of the Philosopher

After face to face with the spirit Azure, my next destination was decided lightly. That's the kingdom of Alastin... the kingdom of Canaan.

I heard from Sophia that she's cooperating with Star God in terms of supplies.

King Canaan didn't move on his own, but without his help, Star God's research wouldn't have progressed as much as it does now.

That's why I visited the country at the same time as I thanked you... In addition to visiting to save the generals during the battle with the Demon King, I also visited when I was travelling after the battle... Compared to that time, the town has rebuilt a lot.

So, there's one problem... I used to be with Sophia, so I was able to see it lightly... I was trying to meet the king differently from my journey so far, and I thought it would be tough.

"You let me pass lightly..."

When I explained the situation to the gatekeeper, he told me the story... and I could easily enter the castle.

And in the midst of the throne that came was king Canaan. Alongside it is the appearance of General Bosslo, and it is recalled that he stood around here trying not to let the General die.

Welcome, Mr. Luon.

And King Canaan tells me.

“If you had told me in advance, I would have prepared the hospitality.”

I'm sorry to let you do that, but this time, I'll say hello.

After answering this question, I lowered my head first.

"You must know everything about the battle with the star gods... first of all, thank you for your support so far"

“We did what we should have done. Star God... If we are the ones that destroy the world, then of course we are also the target of attacks. Therefore, it is only natural to help."

King Canaan gave a slightly stiffer expression after saying so.

"We can only support you...."

"That's too much."

"I'm glad you said that." Until the end of the battle with the Star Gods, we promise to support you. ”

"Thank you. Perhaps the next battle will be the end." Until then, thank you very much. "

- I left the castle when I finished greeting you. If Sophia were here, she might have been entertained, but not today.

Lord Luon, where are you headed next?

"That's where Feus lives." Ah, let's go to Salamander's house first. "

So... I've been going around a lot, but the journey to fight the Demon King is coming up in the second half.

When I talked to Feus, the next thing I knew... was that while I was making a plan in my head for the future, I was only aiming for a purpose.

First, I reunited with Rezadi, the spirit salamander who had a contract with Sophia. He was also preparing to support the Demon King Castle.

Is Feus still in residence?

"Oh, I hear you'll be leaving soon."

Looks like it was close. In the future, I will travel out of the continent, but in that case, there is a possibility that I won't be able to meet the person I want.

Well, we'll meet eventually, so there won't be any problems... but I told Rezadi that I could help, and then I went to the place where Feus was.

There she was, not as a phoenix, but as a woman.

“Maybe you changed when you realized you were coming here?”

"Yes, it is."

Faith answers my questions with a smile.

There are cases where you're back to being majestic, but it doesn't mean anything to you.

"Well, I know about Feus... so I was told by Rezadi that he was on his way to the Demon King's Castle."

“Yeah, I'll be heading there in the near future, and I'll get ready to go further.”

I will go at the same time. Azua would have done the same. "

Gulk continues. I nodded tinyly,

That said, I think we still have a showdown ahead of us.

"If that's all we can afford, we'll be ready to do it responsibly." As much or as little as possible. "

Thinking of the words of the reassuring spirit..., Feus sighed smallly.

But I wonder if I can say it's all done.

"... what's the matter?"

"The existence of a star god is terrifying from the perspective of our spirit." You've been fighting against it... but honestly, our full preparation is probably not enough. "

― ― Well, more than the power of the stars themselves, Feus' view is extremely confusing.

"As things stand, if we do everything we can, but it's not enough--"

"The opponent is too big to understand everything." No matter how much the spirit is, there's nothing you can do about it. "

I shrugged my shoulders and said to Feus.

"The spirits can do what they can... I'll see what I can do later"

"... it's hard to put a burden on you, but please."

"Ahh... I've finished greeting you, but I'm going now..."

Yeah, I'll see you at the Demon King's Castle next time.

- I'm leaving Feus' house and heading to my next destination.

Is the Kingdom of Nateria next?

“Yeah. Maybe, but I think there's a quail out there.”

After the showdown with the Demon King, I didn't have to travel to visit that country... maybe I can take a look around the town.

So, I used movement magic... and along the way, Gulk told me something that bothered me.

Lord Luon, my body is also traveling to the Demon King Castle... and my parts are investigating the area around the Demon King Castle.

"Did you find anything?"

It's not that big of a thing. There was something like a mimicry building on a rock...... ”

Building?

I checked inside, but nothing happened. However, there was still some magic power left. I think I was storing a weapon or something...... ”

"Weapon...?"

"Moreover, even if it is a weapon, it is not of the demon king's origin." It's a magic power close to the artifact that exists in the ruins of an angel. "

I'm starting to get a bit worried... "

"Gulk, can you check it out for me?"

Of course, I'll let you know if there's any progress.

Weapon... If it's from an angel, would it be something that the Demon King had prepared?

As new questions arose, I continued to travel to the Kingdom of Nateria without changing my course.
