Sword of the Philosopher

Operation Dark Night

The next night, we started acting quietly. I have learned about enemy trends via user demons, etc. It's a relatively long way from town, so if we don't do something bad, we probably won't be exposed.

But more than having a weapon derived from a star god, act cautiously not to expose it because you can't be alarmed. We slowly proceeded to the stronghold where our enemies were located, using even the magic of hiding the signs to inflict treatment that would never be distracted.

"You'll find the sound, so be careful."

I'll take the lead as I say. Now, it's not that hard if you simply knock it down. But this time we have to move forward quickly and accurately.

If it's our skill, it should be possible enough, but not defeating the enemy is an unexpected difficulty... It's easy if this is a normal person, but the opponent has a lot of skill. It is necessary to instantly detect the opponent's abilities, increase their magic and attack them so that they are not overwhelmed.

Well, if it's me or Sophia, it's not that much of a problem... so I'll reassemble the operation on the road.

"Me and Sophia, and I'll be in charge one at a time in Sylvie. Radi isolates the stronghold by magic barriers. The place to exchange information is the hunter's cabin, so it should be possible."

Copy that.

Lady nods. So, about Reese,

"And in addition to Radi's escort, Reese will be prepared in case the enemy escapes... Reese is the best at using all sorts of tactics."

"You mean deal with them according to their movements. It would be easier if I didn't show up."

"Just in case... So, it's an operation, but I have a pre-test for the hunter's cabin. There's only one entrance and it's a bungalow, but it's built higher than the surrounding land. About three stairs will be used for the entrance door. So, the windows are in two places, and the position is..."

Brief description of the cabin. So did you understand the situation, Sophia and the others snorted firmly.

"Specific maneuvers, but first deploy around the cabin. Formation to surround the cabin so that it would not be a problem to come out of the window. Then he strikes at the same time as Lady constitutes a barrier. I'll take care of the entrance. Sophia and Sylvie need windows."

"Okay."

"Should I move to block the window?

I snorted at Sylvie's question.

"The windows, though, are the type of things that can be opened in wood, not glass windows, so it's hard to imagine the enemy side kicking them out and running too... So, from there, we just have to judge instantly by the flow. There are many unknown things about enemy weapons, so take the utmost care."

With Radi constituting a magic barrier, even if he had a weapon of star god relations, he would be able to hold back somewhat. If they get away with it, it's just a matter of time before they get away with it... there's Reese, but I might have to move, too.

"And be careful... you don't have to worry about the damage to the cabin. I'll make it a monster anyway. The hunter's cabin looks like the town's property, so it's gonna have a little bit of an impact on the town's budget."

Apologize to the official in my heart, while I continue to explain further.

"The steps from there can only be considered after the battle is over. If we can all faint at the end of the line, we'll take you to Lord Forna... and you may find it a little more forceful to go home."

Enforcement.

"I can't help it there."

When Reese answered, we stepped into the woods. So when you look at Lady, he uses magic on us. It's the magic of dark vision. I can't even light the light just right, so this is the kind of treatment I got.

I just can't turn off the sound as usual. Killing footsteps doesn't just mislead the sound of leaf rubbing, etc. Probably should be fine, though, because it would be recognition to the extent that the beast is moving if you didn't make a flashy move.

"Luon, are the demons still observing?

The question came from Silvi.

"Mm-hmm. I thought it was dangerous to get too close though, so there's a distance. Specifically, directly above the hunter's cabin"

"You mean there's altitude... I'm pretty sure they're in the cabin right now, huh?

"Oh. That's for sure there."

Now it would be a hassle if the fourth person suddenly came out or something... but then we'll have to do it.

That's when I finally saw the cabin in the woods at night. There's still a little distance, but you should be ready now.

"The area around the cabin is open in a circle. The window position is as I just told you, so Sophia and Silvi need to spread out. My magic will be broken when I get away, but Lady's magic will continue, so I need you to move while I kill every sign possible."

Sophia and the others nodded quietly and began to act. And the three of us, including the rest of me, push towards the entrance to the cabin.

"Yes, that's good."

After Reese spilled her voice, we reached near the cabin. I've come to a place where the woods break off, so I hide in the bushes once to see how things are going.

"... you see the lights"

Lady's point. Sure, the windows are open, I can see the light from inside. It's just not magical lighting. Yura Yura is shaking, so it would be like Cantera or something.

"Can't you just hear your voice at this distance?"

"There's still a distance... well, the two of you"

Look around. The use of dark vision magic also allowed Sophia and Silvi to be captured at a distance. Yeah, we're ready.

"Lady, get ready for the barrier. Use your magic at the right time."

"Ooh."

He boosts his magic. albeit slightly in view of the possibility of being conceited. Launches simultaneous attacks when he uses magic. At this distance, you will be able to reach the cabin faster than the other person notices and moves out abnormally.

I put quiet effort into my legs. When moving, I want to see an athlete setting up a crowding start, and I feel like jumping out right after the start of the operation.

"Reese, I asked for the back."

And whisper to her. And Reese smiled and responded,

"Leave it to me."

With that word I didn't look back anymore. For a little while, silence arises in the woods. It's as if our presence has melted into the forest at night, and no one knows we exist.

"... then, let's go"

Lady's words. Immediately after I snorted in silence, the magic barrier unfolded - and the operation began.
