Sword of the Philosopher

Soon after I spoke up to my people, it was Sophia who moved first. I poured my magic power into the Divine Spirit Sword in my hand, and the monster that responded turned its gaze to her.

A monster is approaching. Of all the monsters in all shapes, I wonder if the monster holding the sword is the most troublesome. I don't know how to fall in a technical battle. Even more so than this, the Star God must have added something to the skill originally possessed by the adventurer.

Then, when I bypassed them... the monster waved its sword. And Sophia challenged him head-on.

"Hey, ahhhh!!"

The monster swung and the monster's sword clashed ─ ─ and the monster swept away greatly. Sophia won.

It was definitely a threat, and it was worth the caution because I didn't know the bottom of the skill, but Sophia still twisted her head. The results of her training... and she had the ability to judge the ability of monsters.

Not only the magic power of the opponent, but also the magic power converging on the sword and arm... Sofia now has the means to instantly judge and oppose it. I decided it was all right from the start of her fight, and I stood up and stepped forward.

I responded to it with a new monster. He looks like a lion, and it looks like he's targeting me. Turn your head... towards us.

Perhaps because of the motif of the lion, the movement was terrifyingly agile. When we were ready to intercept, we were already trying to be frivolous. An incredible physical ability that doesn't seem like an ex-human...... but I'm going to cut off all that movement and turn it into a counterattack.

I moved across the side of the monster that was jumping in and made a flash of confusion. That's why the monster's body was scolded so hard... but I couldn't hit it with a single blow.

That's a lot of defensive power.

Instantly defending rather than defending.

That's what Gulk commented on my murmuring.

The moment Lord Luon's blade entered, there was a change in the monster's skin.

"Is that how you prevent an attack?"

It must have been Star God who created the specifications.

"It was because of the Star God who transformed it into an alien form." I think it's better to think that all the characteristics of monsters are determined.

”-Haahhh!”

There is a person who speaks up while having a conversation. It was Aina, and she was engaging another monster, a monster that imitated a wolf.

Aiming at her neck and trying to bite, Aina dodged her swords. They were as resistant as the lion monsters I fought with... but she was sure to do damage to the monsters by delivering bursts of fire.

Not only that, but her attack also highlights her traits... to sense the flow of magic power, her skin changes according to our magic power... I don't know if it changes with the will of the monster or if it reacts automatically, but it seems that it will be strengthened the moment it is attacked.

The fact that it's an instantaneous enhancement rather than a constant reinforcement probably stems from the fact that its defense won't last long... magic power convergence is a momentary one, but it consumes a lot of magic power. That's why it's hard to keep using it all the time.

"To prevent our attack like this..."

Lord Luon, what should we do?

"That said, I can handle this much... can't I?"

Everyone nodded when I asked my allies. And it was Sophia who took the lead. Relative to the human-type monster, it further increased its magic power and filled the gap.

The monsters also boosted their magic power to keep up with it... First, the two swords clashed. But the next moment, the monster had a crack in his sword.

I could destroy the sword by swinging through it... but the monster chose to retreat immediately. They seem to have lost their reason because they changed into aliens, but apparently they could make tactical decisions.

But Sophia moved forward. Taking a step into pursuit, the monster enters a defensive stance against her, boosting her magic power. Unlike the defense I just showed you, it stiffens my body like a magic barrier and instantly prevents my sword from being slashed anywhere... It's like a prospectus.

But it was against Sophia. I look at the lion monster directly in front of me and observe how Sophia fought. Sophia could have grasped the movement of the opponent she was trying to defend, but her strategy remained the same. He increased his magic power and poured it into the Divine Spirit Sword - a monster that he decided could not be evaded.

Sofia's sword was on the verge of entering the monster's body ─ ― I could see that the monster that saw its trajectory focused its magic power on the place where it was hit by the slashing. It maintains its magic power to protect its entire body, so it activates automatically in response to the magic power of the approaching blade. This kind of trait is unlike anything we've ever had before... but perhaps Hoshigami has developed this kind of trait to prepare us for a showdown.

Or is there still something else...? Sophia's sword clashed with the monster while she was holding on to the idea...... Without defending herself, she severed both of her bodies.
