Sword of the Philosopher

― ― The next morning, we started the activity at the stage when the sun began to rise.

”As long as the opponent is a human, it's not good to end up with a blow to the neck...”

It's an enemy, and it's definitely as good as a war.

"However, about the measures around there..."

"I struck my hand. All of you, please arrest me."

Sophia says that it's best to be relentless... but there's also a desire to get information from the other side.

"Okay. We'll all catch them and use our magic to restrain them... okay?"

Yes.

"... then let's move." Leaze, I'll take care of it. "

Yeah.

Leaze nodded. Along with her were the bloodlines of wise men such as Alto, Fili, Radi... There were also Ordia and Romilda, and the situation was like that. In addition, each of them was accompanied by a companion who acted together.

Meanwhile, Sophia and I, in addition to Aina, were working together like Kuza and Sylvie. There are members from other continents, such as Yusca and Katra, but this is a smaller group.

"Well then... when I leave the base, I'll move in a flash." From there, it's a race against time. How fast you can get to the enemy base... that's going to make the difference. "

Well, basically, Mr. Luon and the others should lead the way.

Kuza opened her mouth with a bitter smile.

"No one can catch up to you in the first place."

”... practically, it looks like the cougars will be clogged up before us.”

“That's right. Depending on how the enemy gets out, we'll be around.”

Roger that... Well then, let's go.

We're up north, Leaze's down south. Her way of fighting is the same as ours, and she's a member of the Sage lineage, and it'll be like the other guys will be backfilling. I always try to observe the situation with a magician...

Gulk, are you ready?

Um, no problem.

Gulk has been asked to observe the enemy's movements... so I'm ready to go.

Maneuver!

As soon as I give the order, we move like a bounce. We walk out the gate, we head north, and Leaze and the others head south.

Sophia and I raised our magic power and pushed through the woods at once. And I used "Bird Thor" at the same time. The next moment, we run through magic like sewing between the trees.

It seems that it was immediately passed on to the enemy,

Lord Luon, there was movement. They said they were coming, so they were ready to intercept. ”

Apparently, I'm willing to fight... I know I've failed in my plan, but I can't retreat without instructions from Star God. Then I and I will go even faster. In response, Sophia also increased her speed - instantly thinning out to the enemy base.

It was a base with the same appearance as the [Sophia] in the parallel world. Seeing that, I figured it out. The bases of the [Sophia] who fought the other day were prepared by them.

I deactivate the magic near the entrance. At the same time, the enemy is on their way. They were made of swords, spears, and many other things, but they didn't have a sense of unity. Everyone looked like an adventurer, but some of them had a lot of brand new gear, and some of them were warriors or newcomers.

Honestly, I don't think there is a sense of solidarity. Those who believed in the power of the star gods and gathered accordingly. As far as we're concerned, if we don't work together, we might as well call ourselves a mixed-up crowd.

"... ah?"

At that time, an abnormality occurred. One of the swordsmen who tried to challenge me with his sword raised his voice - and suddenly screamed.

"What...!?"

"Hey, what's the matter...!?"

And the people around them cried out. In response, we stopped in surprise. I didn't mean to engage you before.

Lord Luon! Watch out!

But Gulk's reaction was the opposite. I was very vigilant towards the screaming opponent.

Rather, it seems that the screams made it clear what the star gods were aiming for.

”That's right, this is...!”

"Gulk, what the--"

It was the moment I tried to ask questions. Now another human is starting to scream... no, that's not it. The people at the base started to say something.

"What is this...!?"

I was so stunned that I forgot to hold my sword. Then the gulk,

Lord Luon, this is a trap

"Trap...!?"

That said, the base doesn't have a trick. The subjects were gathered here. However, those who wanted to gain power from the Star God... apparently-- "

The moment I tried to explain, suddenly something like a pitch black came out of the body of the first screaming swordsman. I look down and back off with Sophia.

"This is..."

{Star God had made sure that the trap would trigger when we approached... I don't think Star God himself thought he could beat us in this battle. But we're trying to figure out what we can do. That's what I mean. "

The swordsman's body was wrapped in black... and eventually transformed into something else.

We've transformed those who sought power and strengthened it... We've given humans the power to lose their reason and turn it into a metamorphosis in an attempt to get information on what kind of solutions we have....
