Sword of the Philosopher

We will then begin to move to see what the enemy looks like. However, it can be a hassle if the enemy notices it, and more importantly, it's hard to chase it if they run away. I decided to move forward with great care and care to avoid getting discouraged.

Gulk, do you think you can fly the demon and observe?

Somehow I visited, but Gulk expressed a negative view.

Since the magic of the cognition inhibition system is used, it's impossible to observe it through the eyes of the demon.

"Is that so..."

In addition, it's highly likely that the demon that uses magic power will be detected. Even if I was in the sky. "

"... in some cases, it looks like we might even be able to find out where we are." Then let's not...... So, Gulk, is the surroundings still okay? "

The enemy hasn't noticed yet.

Gulk tells us that we're taking extra care to spot enemies.

If anyone ever notices me, I'll retreat on the spot.

Oh, that's fine. We've overwhelmed ourselves so far, but we don't know what happens when the main force comes after us.

Confirm the number of enemies, their appearance, etc., and assemble the operation again... so that we can proceed according to that policy. However, even if we get close, we can't specifically confirm the opponent's appearance.

"Is it hard to get closer than I thought?"

Please go a little further. With some approach, you should be able to penetrate through the opponent's sabotage magic and see what it looks like. ”

"... how?"

"As a countermeasure to the star gods, we devised a magic that captures the number of enemies and signs. It was based on the possibility of the enemy hiding."

I see, that's quite natural.

If you apply it, you can avoid the sabotage magic surrounding the star gods... however, the effective distance is not that long.

I see, we need to get closer to use it.

That's what I'm talking about.

We'll walk in the woods when we're explained. The area around the Demon King's Castle was originally barely filled with people, so it was difficult to capture our figure unless we were very careful as enemies. However, since this depth is difficult to escape, it is necessary to stand around so as not to receive only ambushes from the enemy.

Let's focus on spotting enemies and move on.

Umu

Gulk responds to my instructions, and we move forward, checking for enemies one by one. While making as little noise as possible and checking the surroundings with five senses......

Okay, at this distance, it should be possible.

Gulk spoke, so we stopped once.

Gulk, if you can penetrate recognition inhibition, hyperopia magic will work, right?

You want to know what the enemy looks like. Although it is possible, there is also a possibility that our trend will be more or less revealed.

"... what do you think?"

When I asked my people behind me,

I think you should take a look at it.

That's what Katie said.

"As it stands, there are no signs of enemies around us, so we can keep them out." Then perhaps it would be more advantageous to find out what the enemy looks like and grasp the details. ”

I agree with you, too.

Fili agrees. The others agree, and I propose to Gulk.

"So, please."

Okay, but is it okay to just observe Lady Luon because it is more likely that she will be exposed if she exercises her magic on a large scale?

Yeah, that's fine.

― ― Gulk quickly began to prepare. Meanwhile, I and my allies have not lost sight of the enemy, but in the end, there was no sign of them around us.

All right, let's go. We can break through the sabotage magic... Lord Luon, it's going to activate.

Roger

My sight changes with my words. Just beyond the forest... there was a huge base there, as if we had formed it.

The tent was well-placed, and it seemed that the enemy was in a position to fight for a long time. However, since the opponent is a mass of magic power, I don't think there is a need for meals or anything else... no, is this meant to maintain discipline or the army?

Describing the enemy's situation, Gulk expressed his view.

Perhaps that's why we're creating a base because we need to bring together a wide variety of races such as demons and angels.

It doesn't make sense, does it?

"Because it's a magical body, we don't think there's any need for rest... but it might be different."

I see, by tentative first life, you mean you can eat and sleep.

While I make my guess, I look around the base. I don't think I've noticed any of this magic...

With hyperopic magic, it's hard to grasp the signs.

Let's adjust that area... how about that?

Perhaps it changed the quality of the magic power, but the signs were clear.

"Ahh, it's okay... and the sight of angels and demons walking side by side is strange from the side..."

Is there anything else that bothers you?

"... there is a large tent in the middle." Maybe, but is there a leader there? "

Its existence must be quite powerful.

"... why do you think that?"

{That's why Star God is in control and listening to you... but I don't know what to do with the Commander. In that case, angels, demons, dragons... all kinds of races must be convincing. ”

If not, we can't control it.

There is no doubt that someone has taken command and assembled a plan for the first time in a battle. Therefore, it is believed that the existence of the leader can possess the corresponding power and instruct the angels. "

"On the other hand, if we take him down..."

The question that remains is whether or not this enemy force is in the base... If it's not the hands of the Hoshigami, I think it's in the base of 9 out of 10.

”I might be in the central tent... but I can't stay here much longer”

I wondered if I could observe it... and a figure appeared from the central tent. I couldn't hear the conversation because I was far-sighted... but apparently, I was in an operation meeting, and demons and angels... and people with strong gear came out.

"I don't recognize you..."

I will record it by my magic. So let's check it out.

Yeah, if any of us knew each other, we might be able to deduce their abilities.

From there, I kept observing... someone I knew jumped into my eyes.
