Sword of the Philosopher

Around the Demon King's Castle, we started to prepare for the showdown. The rendezvous between me and Sophia made the preparations much easier... I was alert to the enemy, but I was always ready to step in.

"The problem is the trend of the enemy sent by the star god...."

Well, you can't just ignore it.

And the one who reacted to my murmuring was Anverate, who was nearby.

"The decisive battle has been fought so far... Those who remain will be responsible for the protection and support of the base, but if the main force attacks from a distance... it's a bad idea."

"That's right. If you don't do that, you won't be able to step in unless you wipe out the enemy." Gulk, what about the enemy? ”

The demon king castle area is roughly finished. Since we know the position of the enemy, we will fight back around here. "

That's why we're holding an operation meeting in a tent near the center of the base. In addition to me, Gulk, and Anverate, the members are people like Sofia.

Devals and Anastasia are here, but they prefer to stay on the alert. Defeat the enemies by humans alone... The humans have taken on the role of defeating the star gods, so Devals will be left to intercept them.

The observed enemies have no growing atmosphere. The star gods could summon soldiers from the parallel worlds... there was a possibility, but apparently there was no such possibility. "

I'm not calling everybody flesh, but it doesn't seem like I can call every number.

Whether it increases or decreases, there is no increase or decrease in the number now, so it is better to slap the star god before he strikes the next move.

Do you know the details of the enemy?

In response to my question, Gulk shook his head.

Although consciousness exists in a parallel world, the body is derived from the magic power of star gods. I can tell the difference between a human, an angel, or a dragon by the amount of magic power, but I have to confirm with my naked eye exactly what kind of person they are. "

"I see... Ordia showed up, and according to the story, there were Fili and Alto, so it's not strange if someone else is here."

"--Maybe it has something to do with the lineage of the wise man."

And Sophia mentions. Hmm, it's true that it's better to choose a presence that can be clearly asserted as having power than to randomly pick and call someone.

"Our ability to inherit the blood of a wise man is higher than that of ordinary people..."

"If that's the case, I can understand why Fili and Alto came out." However, when that happens, there might be Sophia and Eina as well. "

I'll be ready.

"It's possible that the missing figure is preserved as a trump card."

And it was Ordia who expressed her views here.

"In the first attack, I found out from meeting with myself, but I was certainly only saying it and had considerable power." In addition, there were other discomforts. "

Uncomfortable?

"When I was exchanging swords, I was surrounded by a strange feeling. Perhaps the enemy was doing something when confronted with him.”

... if that's the case, shouldn't we let them fight with each other?

Only Lord Ordia fought against himself. I will use that information as a reference. "

and Galk speaks.

Is there any problem with your physical condition at this time?

I got a magic test, but there's no problem.

If so, did the enemy fail or was it on the way...? But this time, everything was a short-term showdown, including those fighting around Demon King Castle. Therefore, it might not be a problem if we were able to defeat the enemy before they could devise a plan. ”

I think we need to be vigilant.

When I say that, I turn my gaze to Sophia.

"The most important concern is Sophia... she's a key player in this battle, and she's been told by the Star Gods that she has information about the area."

"... should I stay here?"

"Then, split up." Humans defending the base and those attacking. I'm on the offending side, and Sophia's on the defending side of the base. Sofia was an important part of the organization, so everyone would follow her instructions. ”

Got it.

What about the selection of people to attack?

Sometimes there were angels and dragons. It would be better to prepare our forces accordingly. "

That's right, Gulk said, then turned his gaze to me.

In the meantime, I think you should let out someone who might not be on the enemy's side.

"... possibly not?"

"Those who believe in the star gods... moreover, like the lineage of wise men, those who excel in power are invited to this world. It is definitely related to literacy, but if you choose someone who has grown stronger independently of that, it is unlikely that the enemy will have the same person."

I'm that kind of representative.

Pointing to himself, Gulk nodded tinyly.

”That's right. He is a reincarnated being who has gained strength through his knowledge... but if the Star God himself could not observe the events of Lord Luon of another world......”

It's not bad for an adventurer to have the skills that Luon Maddin had originally, but I don't think it's enough to fight a demon king.

I'll tell you what. In the game, I was able to raise the level and become stronger to Kanst.

"In the first place, I was originally a human who had died in a battle with the Demon King." It's hard to imagine whether such a presence is under the power of a star god or not. "

It's unlikely that Lord Luon will be among the enemies, including the fact that he's a Reincarnator.

Even if they were, they wouldn't be reincarnated.

”That's right... so is Lord Ordia, who has already defeated himself.”

Ordia nodded tinyly.

We should gather those humans and intercept them... we should select the humans we've already defeated and move on.

"Well then, let's fight... right away." Sophia, I asked for a base. "

I'll take care of it.

Then we left the tent and started to act.
