Sword of the Philosopher

”...... I had the same feeling about [Aina] who was engaged earlier, but he's a lot more militant.”

As I put my sword back up, I mentioned "Sophia."

Yeah, that's true.

"You agree with me lightly... is it due to the Star God?"

"I don't know. I've been influenced by the existence of a star god since I was born... it's only natural in our world to be influenced."

In response to [Sophia] shrugging her shoulders... I will mention one thing.

I'll make sure that your plan doesn't work anymore, but what if we keep fighting among the same people?

Hmm, the operation hasn't disappeared yet, so I'm not obliged to tell you.

”Ahhh... well, I could have imagined it all coming together like this.”

Picking, 'Sophia' reacts.

"After several battles, I found that you continued to emit magic power and were trying to interfere with our bodies." Especially because you have a lot of magic power. "

"...... I'm trying to influence you with my magic power. Are you trying to say that?"

"Maybe, but if it's the same existence, the magic power in my body is similar in quality... I think it's easy to interfere with it." And use it to shake emotionally or directly damage. "

The opponent was silent... but it sounded like the right answer.

Now that the plan is clear... based on how Ordia fought herself, it will take more or less time. If we end the fight before the effect of the opponent's magic power is decided... at least the enemy's plan won't work.

The current [Sophia] is quite strong, and of course the battle is expected to be a long-term battle, but... if we are now...

"I don't know what to do, but I don't think that solution worked for us."

"Are you saying that there is a difference in strength?"

[Sophia] responded by guessing the intent of our words.

"I can understand you stating that in light of this situation... although"

"Sophia" reveals magic power on her wipe. The amount is higher than before.

"We're not done yet."

And they're coming. Leaze and the others were struggling to contain their enemies. Among them, Ordia was particularly active, defeating the enemy at a terrifying rate.

The enemy seemed to want to cover [Sophia], but their allies prevented them from doing so. In the first place, the enemy didn't seem to be able to respond well to our movements, and there was a difference in the level of cooperation.

"... the demon tribe there was invited in preference to the highly capable race."

I'll tell you why.

"In the case of group battles, there are parts that cannot be deduced by simple abilities... It seems that they are obedient to the star gods, so they are by no means irrelevant... However, teaming up with a wide variety of races is limited by cooperation"

“It was a source of concern, wasn't it?”

and [Sophia] responded calmly.

"I thought that if it was a pure power match, I would not lose, but are you able to work together with a high level of ability?"

"I've been thinking so calmly, but the fight is almost over." What do we do? "

[Sophia] is silenced by the question. The battle against the enemy strongholds is coming to an end, as we say. It hasn't been long since I and she faced each other, but the enemy is clearly falling faster... because my friends have shown that Lion Expedition is working.

Even if we were dragons and demons with the power of the star gods, we can't stop them now... The enemies are quite strong and might have been driven into trouble without the training we've been doing.

"That demon tribe... made a big mistake."

"Oh, what is that?"

[Sophia] answers, not the other demons.

"You should have attacked us earlier." Although the demon world was leveled, it may have started to move... but at least it probably wouldn't have worked if we hadn't set it up before we learned the truth about the star gods. "

No, in the first place, the battle in the realm of the Phantom Beast was reminiscent of a variety of cases, but either way, I should say that I didn't make it when I started the fight at this stage.

I see, it was too late.

'Sophia' murmured as she understood everything.

“Based on the degree of power, that seems to be the answer.”

During the conversation, surrounding enemies are destroyed. Only [Sophia] and the Demon Clan remained.

It was such a shameful battle... I wonder if this meant that the demon tribe that brought them in was too sweet.

"We won, didn't we?" Looks like you had a lot on your mind, but it's all over without getting there. "

"... yes, it should be assumed that all the master's maneuvers didn't work."

--I felt uncomfortable. I get caught up in the way I say it.

"The Master invited us to prove his power. The purpose was to become a new demon king...... where he had nothing to do with the star gods, he rose up and confronted you head on."

'Sophia' laughs as she speaks so much.

"Honestly, I think it's a pretty stupid thing to do."

I-

Otherwise, the Demon Clan muttered. Something unexpected is happening from that situation?

"I knew it was a vicious enemy, but I missed the countermeasure nonetheless... you were right, at an earlier stage... I should have set you up before you got stronger." That said, it may have been impossible for the Master to move at the right time. ”

"Hey, you-"

The demons tried to mutter something, but Leaze and the others were thin. But Sophia didn't do anything. On the contrary, there is an atmosphere that leaves it to us to move.

I don't know what you're up to, but if you defeat the demons who summoned them, it's not like there's any chance that this will all end... so I left it to Leaze and the others to do what she did -- her Halvard cut both of those demons.
