Sword of the Philosopher

"Gulk"

When I catch someone, I call them by their first name.

{...... Looks like you're a leader. Obviously, he is obedient to the others. '

Gulk answered, and I nodded deeply.

In addition, there are people who have summoned those people.

"You mean the man in the black robe?"

{Ah. It seems that the signs are from the demons... but the quality of magic is obviously different from the rest. Different from those who were summoned and given a provisional body... it's a real demon race. "

”So he's using the power of the star gods...”

Now that you've achieved your goal... what do you want to do?

"Let's observe a little more and then go back to the base." I was able to figure out the number of enemies, so I decided to rework the plan. "

Very well.

I nodded in agreement as I called out to my people. From there, we've been observing the base for a while, and Gulk's recording it... We've decided to go back.

Well, I've roughly figured out what the enemy looks like… I've been able to get a lot of information against Gulk's footage.

Some of us were the head of the Heavenly Realm or were candidates for the Demon King... so we were able to roughly figure out the identity of the angels and demons.

“I understand that Devals knew, but I'm surprised that Emel knew so much.”

"There's nothing I can do about that."

And that's what Aemel himself told me.

That said, isn't it natural to keep an eye on the strong?

Yeah, yeah. I don't even know why.

And about the existence that called me the leader at the heart. Emel knew about these demons.

This is the demon tribe that the demon king was fighting against.

"Contraindications...?"

"Well, to tell you the truth, I was the one who insisted that I was worthy of the Demon King." Probably because the demon king was studying the star gods, he also investigated it himself and set it up under the star gods this time. "

"... what is the purpose of this demon race?"

If the inner world hasn't changed, maybe you can take the current Demon King's throne as a stepping stone by destroying the demon king's defeated existence with your own hands.

"... we definitely want to avoid it." We need to settle this here. "

"Although there are only demon kings in strength, compared to those who were candidates for demon king... it's not difficult to deal with... the problem is the leader."

--And so we looked in one direction at a time. I was there.

"Am I...?"

Sophia says - yes, she was the only leader of angels and demons. By the way, Eina was holding back. The relationship between the two seemed to be unchanged even in a world ruled by star gods.

“Emel, is there a reason you made Sophia your leader?”

"At least he's gotten all the information we've been fighting for from Star God." With that in mind, the possibility of mere guessing is not zero... there is also a line that we adopted as the one who defeated the demon king... but that doesn't give us a reason to bind demons and angels. "

"It's only natural that Sophia should be on the front line because of the sage's bloodline so far, but you can interpret it as having enough power to convince angels and demons..."

Probably.

Gulk is going to answer.

"Well then... I'll fight it."

Isn't it hard to do? The enemy may have made Princess Sophia their leader with that intention in mind. "

“If that's the case, it doesn't change what you do.”

That's right.

Sophia, who was surprised, turned her face back and looked at me.

I'm here to defend the base.

"Ok... Gulk, I understand the enemy's strength roughly, but how does it work?" Do you want to increase the number of people? "

That's right. Now that we know the details of our enemies, we'll select who's here and who's not, and we'll launch an attack. The main enemies were angels, dragons, and demons. Therefore, if you choose from humans, there will be no problem. "

"I was wondering if there was a Devals or something... but I couldn't see." Gulk, are there any signs? "

I didn't observe it. Let's think about strategy after thinking that there are other enemies besides that base.

We nodded in Gulk's words... then we continued the meeting and finished with a certain conclusion, and I went out.

We'll rest for today and attack tomorrow.

”I see... I and Feus will be on the alert, so you should take a good rest.”

"You're the guardian of the spirit." I can't help you anymore... and that's right. This time, the enemy doesn't have the appearance of a spirit, right? "

It seems likely that the spirit could not be called because it has no body in the first place.

Can't you call me?

"Hmm, I was wondering why the number of enemies was finite, but perhaps there is a limit to the initial flesh. If so, I can be convinced that the number of people is limited."

”Well then... even if I created the flesh, I couldn't call the spirits that didn't make sense?”

"Probably, prepare a vessel and call for the existence of power from a number of parallel worlds, and embed consciousness into that vessel... I can guess that this is the way. If that were the case, the spirits would not enter the vessel even if they were invited."

"I see, I can summon you, but I can't keep you in this world." If so, will the spirits also participate in the operation? "

But it's not direct, it's support. Lord Luon can use his training to counter the power of the star gods...... ”

"Is it because the spirits can't do it?" This battle will be fought by members who have always been part of the organization. Well, that's how it works. "

Don't overburden me.

“That's why I got stronger. Everyone in this room has nothing to complain about."

--While interacting like that, the time comes at night. Eat while watching your surroundings, but the atmosphere is never bad.

As expected, I don't have anyone to drink alcohol with before the showdown, and it won't be a problem in the camp... Sophia is putting together all the people here, and I think I should concentrate on tomorrow's battle.

In the meantime, I was calling out to all the faces we were going to fight together tomorrow... and that day ended calmly.
