The Magic Power Feus unleashed was red, reminiscent of intense heat—as she pressed that Magic Power against the Material, its shape gradually began to change.

“Feus, are you alright?”

Azua’s question. Feus replied, “Of course.”

“You don’t have to worry about me.”

While she replied, the Material steadily formed the shape of a sword—is this truly the work of a Spirit God? The Material smoothly transformed into the desired shape.

As a result, it was probably about ten minutes. A magnificent blade was born by the hands of the Spirit God.

“Now, this is the main part.”

Garuku says. At the same time, the Spirits who made a contract with Sofia also appeared.

“We will also cooperate.”

Lefin spoke for them, and Corona nodded and began to speak.

“I’ll also lend my strength… I’m excited to see what happens.”

—It will likely become a sword with power unlike any other in the world. In addition to the Four Great Spirits, the Spirit God and the Great Tree Guardian Spirits… these are the greatest individuals on this Continent.

As we watched with bated breath, the Spirits and Divine Spirits stood surrounding the blade. Their presence was simply awe-inspiring, and the Humans around them also widened their eyes and gasped.

“—I hope this sword puts an end to the War with the Demon Lord.”

The moment after Garuku spoke, magic power was poured into the blade all at once.

The room was filled with an overwhelming power. It was so much magic power that an ordinary person might collapse if they weren’t being targeted. The people present here seemed to be fine, but—

“Leave the adjustments to me.”

Corona said. Since she created the material, she seemed to be taking command.

I stared intently at the scene. Sofia came to my side and watched with bated breath, also fixated on the sword.

Feeling the overwhelming magic power on my skin… I was convinced. A sword born to defeat the Demon King. This would truly be a trump card.

While everyone was speechless and could only watch, the Divine Spirits’ magic gradually subsided. Honestly, I had thought that such a large amount of power would shatter the material in an instant, but the sword placed on the stand showed no change even after receiving so much magic power.

Then, the magic power completely ceased. Someone let out a big breath. I, too, had unconsciously tensed up, and I loosened my clenched fists.

“…Hmm, that completes it then.”

Garuku was the first to speak.

“However, it will take some time for the magic power to fully enter. Once that’s done, we’ll give it the form of a sword.”

“It feels somewhat anticlimactic, doesn’t it?”

Phili remarked. I gave a wry smile and said,

“What they’re doing is pretty intense, though… From the Demon King’s perspective, it must be nothing short of a threat.”

“It will definitely be a trump card, won’t it?”

“Yes, I can say that for sure.”

Uttering those words, I continued to gaze at the blade. Divine Spirits’ magic was lingering on the sword’s surface. I could see the power gradually entering the sword, and I could watch it without getting bored.

The others seemed to feel the same… everyone was silent. As Sofia, who was beside me, also stood still—

“…Hm?”

Suddenly, Garuku spoke up. Just as I wondered if there was a problem, he, in his Human form, turned to me.

“Lord Ruon, may I have a moment?”

“Huh? Oh, sure.”

No sooner had I spoken than Garuku started walking. As the surrounding Humans watched, wondering what had happened, Feus reassured them, “Don’t worry.”

I followed Garuku outside. There, he said,

“There’s been a change at the Demon King’s Castle.”

Garuku stated.

“Something seems to be moving within the barrier we constructed.”

“…Have you eliminated the Demon Race’s magic power remaining underground?”

“So far, so good.”

“The Demon King knows that, right? Is he planning to interfere?”

“It doesn’t seem that way. I don’t know how the Demon King will act, but… I anticipate that the Final Battle will also be a fierce one.”

I nodded in response to Garuku’s words.

“What do you think about the Mysterious Magical Power…?”

“If the Demon King’s objective was to obtain that magic power, then the Five Great Demons might have extracted some of it while interfering with the underground.”

If that’s the case… well, no matter how it plays out, we’ll just have to respond with all our might.

“Also, I have one concern.”

“What is it?”

“Regarding the monsters…it’s highly likely that a considerable number are being spawned inside the Demon King’s Castle. Perhaps because we are monitoring them with a barrier, they haven’t stepped out of the castle, but if they were to come out all at once, it would be troublesome. Furthermore, it seems the Demon Lord’s side is issuing instructions through some method despite being obstructed by the barrier…the monsters outside the barrier are barely moving.”

“So, during the Final Battle, they’ll all come out at once, huh? Garuku, if that happens–“

“I don’t know if we’ll be able to enter the Demon King’s Castle. I thought that if we could remove the magic power of the Demon Race existing underground, there would be no problem in lifting the barrier, but…it might not turn out that way.”

If that’s the case, perhaps only I and Sofia, along with the rest of the Sage’s Bloodline, will be able to enter the Demon King’s Castle… We should plan our future actions considering such a scenario.

“Understood. Garuku, continue observing the Stronghold.”

“Hmm. The sword’s creation will be finished soon, but what then?”

“Some training to wield the sword will be necessary… Also, for the final battle, I need to discuss it with King Kanan…”

“Are the preparations underway?”

“Of course… I believe the day of battle will come before long.”

Garuku nodded at my words.

“Then I will call upon the Dragons and Demon Wolves.”

…There are no Demon Race members invading the Continent. Therefore, the Human Side can concentrate its forces on the Demon King’s Castle, and there are also beings like Dragons. It’s an unshakeable situation, but how will the Demon King move?

After discussing everything, I returned to the Workshop with Garuku. The Magic Convergence was already complete, and people, including Sofia, were working to give the sword its proper form.

Peeking at it, I saw that the hilt had few decorations. Compared to commercially available swords, it looked better, but at the same time, it felt too simple for a sword imbued with the power of Divine Spirits.

Well, this is Sofia’s intention, and it’s probably the result of prioritizing functionality… Just as I thought that, Richard stepped forward.

“I’m going to apply the effects I was told about by Ruon. Is that alright?”

“Yes. For now, that’s fine.”

Upon my words, Richard and the others drawing the crests began their work.

“Once it’s complete, it’s training time immediately.”

“What about the location?”

Sofia suddenly spoke.

“Given how powerful this sword is, won’t it be quite dangerous until you get used to it?”

“We’ve also put a strategy in place for that, though.”

Corona began to explain. What does she mean?

“Magic Power has the property of spreading when released. Magic is a typical example; it just spreads endlessly when released, right? But if you do that with this sword, the surroundings will also be damaged. Therefore, we’ve adjusted it so it doesn’t spread.”

“…You’ve come up with a very interesting counter-strategy.”

“Of course, we’ve considered things like that.”

That’s helpful… At that moment, Richard and the others finished their work.

“This should be complete, I suppose.”

I gazed at the sword. Complex patterns were etched into the blade. The power sleeping within it was far greater than any other weapon on this Continent.

“We’ll decide on a training location later… For now, let’s briefly verify what kind of sword it is.”

Sofia nodded at my words—and went outside.
