...h-hello?! Hans?!

Oh, it seems the signal has come back!

Are you okay?

Is that so? I'm so relieved.

As soon as you entered the area, the signal started getting worse...

I wonder if that too is one of the demon's abilities?

Oh, that's right! That demon!

It's presence has disappeared, but could it be that you defeated it?

Huh?! You couldn't confirm its location?

And a Fallen God appeared instead?!

Hans! This is not the time for jokes!

But still, it is rather strange.

The demon's presence has disappeared, but if you haven't defeated it...

...then that means it must've run away?

If that's the case, then we might be able to observe it from a distance...

In any case...

...the demon's presence has disappeared, so the Akras Summoners' Hall...

...has classified the mission as complete!

Hans, good job!

......

Ugh...! I still want to know what really happened though!!

No doubt about it now. Only Hans would be strong enough to have beaten the Four Fallen Gods.

That must be why this Summoner caught my eye in the first place.

The demon may have gotten away, but that couldn't be helped.

It probably used a good portion of its power to produce those fake Fallen Gods though.

By weakening itself so much, it actually made it impossible for the Hall to observe it in any greater detail.

My guess is that it weaseled its way out of the breaking seal on Ishgria.

If that demon really is calculating all of its moves, it must mean it's smarter than we initially thought...

Paris was just wasting time wandering around, so the results I was expecting were not the ones I got.

But we got to learn something new about that demon...

And I'm sure it served as good training to prepare Hans for any upcoming battles anyway.

So I guess I'll just satisfy myself with that...for now.
