This is it. This is the place that Noel mentioned...

He did say it was called the Temple of Illusions, but...

Oh, Hans.

What are you doing here?

You say you received an urgent request from Akras Summoners' Hall?

I see...

Noel was the one who told me to come take a look at this place.

You want me to help you with your mission?

I'm sorry. But there are some things I would like to do on my own right now...

I have a lot to think about after all that's happened recently...

What? Oh, yes...

I can't deny that I do still think of Lord Eriole from time to time.

It might be that even now...

...I still want to believe that what he said to me then was not true.

......

Well, I should get going.

I will make it up to you next time.

...h-hello?!

I'm Lin Merylham from Logistics Support...

...Grand Gaia Survey Office Bureau of Investigation at your service.

Again, we would like to thank you for taking on this request on such short notice.

It would seem that this request comes directly from our superiors in Akras Summoners' Hall...

...but I was woken up just a few minutes ago to work on it, so...

Huh? The details of the mission?

Oh, yeah. Umm, the details of the mission are...

It seems to be...to defeat the demon within the Temple of Illusions, just ahead.

But I'm afraid we don't have any information on the demon at all. We don't even seem to have its name!

However! There is one piece of useful information I can give you.

Umm, just give me a second here...

This demon seems to have a power that no other demons or disciples possess.

Everyone who has been defeated by that demon is always found with an expression of horror on their faces...

......

Hmm, now that I think about it, that piece of information wasn't really that useful at all...

B-But you should be fine! I mean, you always are.

And I'll be right here to support you!!
