Sword of the Philosopher

The real battle

"--It seems that it was still tough to directly fight an unharmed attack on me."

The person behind the smoke was [Sophia] - she was standing opposite me.

With the Master's methods, it seems that logging was naturally impossible.

"...... Was it a fake that you were fighting earlier?"

When I asked, [Sophia] laughed. It's a demonic smile that Sophia in this world would never show.

"Fake? In the first place, we're the first body, right? There's no point in verifying whether it's real or fake."

... when I heard that word, I somehow understood it. Perhaps they're not the only ones.

"Was it the Master's Demon Clan who gave you the instructions?" In that case, I don't think I allowed a suicide bombing. "

"Our master has imposed various restrictions on us, but unfortunately it was easy to break through due to the difference in power... However, if we finish off the master ourselves, we will be forcibly repatriated due to the magical effect." So I had to have it defeated by others. ”

"That's why you deliberately tried to make us do it."

Yeah.

"...... why do you keep doing that and execute the operation?"

"I visited this world and thought about it." The power of the star gods... which will bring about their collapse. "

Nikoli and - she tells with a full smile.

"If we can serve and control you... this world can also be ruled by a star god, right?"

"...... you've got a really troublesome enemy in your heart."

From the beginning, it was unlikely that one demon tribe would be able to handle it. The star god must have known that and helped him.

Eventually, [Sophia] ran towards us. Once I tried to regain my posture, I immediately tried to launch a pursuit - but before that, more magic power came from the ground of a base without a trace.

Reflexively, I stopped... the next moment, the magic exploded again. The enormous amount of magic power gushed up from the earth... but it was inferior to the previous scale, and it was obvious that this was the effect of blindness.

Still, if I stormed, I might have been able to track down [Sophia]... but I told my people to be on their guard, that there might still be some kind of trick. After that, the magic disappears and we check the surroundings and make sure there's nothing left to discuss.

Gulk, can you spot the enemy?

"Hmm, it looks like there's a new base ahead." It seemed to be concealed by the magic of the cognitive inhibition system. "

It's a level that deceives Gulk, so you can assume that the enemy's abilities are more advanced than ever before.

”In the first place, if you scrutinize what the other princess just said, there is a verse that was deliberately done.”

"... it looks like you have to put in your temper." What do we do? Let's get closer to the base and find out? "

Will you give me a moment?

I have an unexpected suggestion from Gulk.

I'll call Feus and several spirits and see if I can get information by ignoring their magic in this place.

"I wish I could, but... do I stand a chance?"

The magic at the newly discovered base is almost as strong as the magic that was stacked here. If we solve the magical range problem with the help of Feus and others, we should probably be able to find out. ”

Well then, let's wait while communicating with our base.

Umu

Gulk nods to my words. The people around me agreed... and for the time being, I decided to check the area for any problems.

Feus and the spirits arrived and investigated, and after a few hours, the results came out. Gulk is right, I have some knowledge of their base, and if I can tell where the enemy is, I will be able to spot them immediately.

And once we got back to the base. So we started the discussion again and decided to move to settle the matter next time.

The main forces of the enemy are still angels and dragons.

Gulk - Child Gulk sits on the table and proceeds.

The humans started with Princess Sofia, and there were also Lord Ordia, who was the first to engage and perish.

In other words, the enemies with the lineage of wise men who have fought before are coming back to life.

Hmm, the number itself is decreasing, but it seems that the number of angels, dragons, and demons is decreasing, and the number of humans is almost the same.

Sheldat seems to have come back to life.

I don't know the details of the demons perfectly, but it's highly likely.

I was forced to fight again... no, from the enemy's side, I wonder if this is the real battle.

Gulk, if you want to launch an attack, do you have any men?

Even if the attackers are the only ones who can move this time, we'll probably need support personnel.

Then the angel will take care of it.

And it was Devals who started talking.

"The main fighting force is only those who have been preparing for the duel with the star gods." Otherwise, let's move as support personnel to secure the escape route. "

This way, too.

The next thing I raised my hand was the Phantom Beast Jin.

"You don't have to be the only one to cover me." We need to get rid of the worries of the guardians, right? "

There is no Phantom Beast in this enemy. Based on that, it might be a good choice for support personnel. ”

Words from Gulk. So Jin answers, "Yes."

Spirit Gulk, how is the enemy moving?

There is no change at this time. Maybe I'm going to wait for it. "

Well, let's go out in the morning.

The discussion is over, and the attackers will rest once. I'm going to go into the tent and sleep again.

"... I'd like to settle this next time."

The opponent's purpose... With that in mind, I'm quite obsessed with Star God. Therefore, there is no denying the possibility of escaping further and finding a solution.

But do you really have the resources to keep the enemy going twice or three times? If you're getting power from a star god, that's not the limit... "

"...... Gulk"

What's the matter?

"If the enemy maintains the initial body from the power of the star god--"

It's a subtle thing. If so, this battle could be prolonged, but there's no way to end it in the short term. ”

"... what is that?"

However, this will also lead to the crushing of one of the solutions against the star gods.

That means a trump card?

There's no doubt it's one of them.

Whether or not to use it here... I thought about it and opened my mouth to Gulk.
