Sword of the Philosopher

This battle will be settled in an instant... that's what convinced me, something like intuition worked.

In fact, that's right... shortly after my sword and [Sophia] 's sword bumped into each other... I cut her sword open easily and struck her body with a blow.

"... no matter how much you train"

[Sophia] murmured as she was about to be cut down and wiped out.

"No matter how much power you gain, it looks like you can't beat the opponent... Is that the result of training to defeat the Star God?"

"There's a more complicated reason... but it seems impossible to talk about it in time for you to disappear."

"Oh, is that so? It doesn't matter. Even if it's me, it's not what happens just because I know the reason--"

She disappears. Along with that, the belligerent demons, dragons, and angels disappeared.

Some of the demons were "Sheldats" who had stuck to the end... but they disappeared after they smiled mockingly at me.

"... this is it"

Well, I take a breath.

It's really over, isn't it?

"Good day."

Leaze called out. In contrast,

"Rather, it was Leaze and the others who were having a hard time." Are there any injuries? "

"Zero. Plus, I didn't have to do everything in my power... I guess it's better as a result of the battle."

"I guess I just showed you one trump card..."

I look around. There was still a tent, but there was no sign of anyone. Apparently, "Sophia" disappeared and all of them were gone.

"The battle is over." Let's go back and prepare for another showdown with the star gods. "

"Yes, I understand... what are we going to do with this base?"

"There's no one left, so even if you leave them alone--"

When I said that, I noticed something.

"...... Leaze"

Yeah, what's the matter?

Who prepared this tent?

Leaze silences herself to answer that question.

Katie enters the appropriate tent. But as soon as it came out,

It's all the tools you use when camping, such as household goods.

"I see... Gulk, are these tools made of magic power?"

“No, it looks like you bought something in this world.”

"In that case, it's still doubtful... even though it was the provisional body at the beginning, those who were in this place were resting under the actually created tent." Resting is not a problem in itself. Who prepared this and how? "

Isn't that the demon you summoned?

The question was from Sylvie. But I shake my head left and right.

"You had your first base, didn't you? I think this place was prepared in anticipation of its destruction... but it's highly unlikely that any other demon tribe would know about it."

"Oh, that's true... I wonder if the demons could have prepared this in the first place..."

“There are plenty of ways to get the money, but who put it in this place?”

Perhaps there are still enemies... but it doesn't make sense if you don't think so.

"Katie, Gulk, just in case, I need you to find some enemies around."

Roger that.

Okay, okay, okay.

“Let's check the tent for any clues.”

My people are on the move, as I tell them. The only Romilda is standing near Kati, searching for enemies and acting as an escort.

In the meantime, I'll check the inside of the tent... I didn't see anything that could be used as a source of information. I made sure that I didn't intentionally leave anything like that behind, so there's nothing I can do about it.

"That said, if it's intentional, it seems to be hiding the existence of this tent..."

Luon, I've spotted enemies, but I can't even see a single monster.

Response from Kati. And Gulk said, "Same," so I made up my mind.

Well then, let's go back once... Gulk, let's keep an eye on this place.

That's right.

I'll leave the demon in the sky, but please let Gulk look into the woods.

I'm in charge.

So we pull up. Just before entering the forest, I looked at the tent where the Lord was gone.

"That's the last mystery left..."

Does Star God have any thoughts around here as well? However, even if it were to help someone who wanted power, it would only be magic power. If so, does it mean that there are people who provide something in terms of such substances?

"The existence that uses the power of the star gods... it's not just the demons we defeated." You mean there are other factions? "

I try to ask questions, but I don't get an answer. If there's anything else we can do, there 'll be something when we get back to the base. If you don't do anything--

Let's keep going to the showdown.

Really, at last... even though I think about it, I can feel it somewhere in my heart. That said, I can't help myself if I'm lost here. We came to the Demon King's Castle to make a showdown with the Stellar Gods.

"Even after consulting with Sophia and the others, I will decide again... If there are no more obstacles, I will go into battle... Gulk, that's all right?"

Yeah, that shouldn't be a problem.

While listening to Gulk's voice, we entered the forest... and returned to our home in front of the Demon King's Castle without any obstacles.
