Take this! Hyaa!

Grh!

Is that the best you can do after all that boasting?!

Gragh!

You...shielded me?!

That's...insane! Why would a demon protect one of us?!

You two are next.

Grh!

Why, you...!

Wait...

Against him...against Heresy Demon Kalon, regular attacks will not suffice.

You have to gather your strength, and unleash a mighty strike...

Gather our strength...? We don't have the time...!

Don't worry. I'll face Kalon alone and buy you the time.

I won't let him lay a finger on you.

If you do that, then you'll...

Either way, if we don't drive him off, we're all going to die here.

Well...

......

Okay...

I do not know what you are discussing, but your fates are already sealed...

You will all be killed here by my hand!

Grh!

I do not know why you all set foot in Ishgria...

But in order to protect this world, I will eliminate anything that threatens to disrupt the order here!

Gragh!

Grh...

......

My mission is to protect the seal...no, to protect this world!

Ugh!!

You may have your mission...but I also have something I have to do...

...something I must achieve, even if I must risk my life...

I am no longer who I was back then!

Your desperate attacks have no effect on me!

Gahhh!

Argh!

Oh, so you can still stand even after that? But this...will end you!

I can't let you do that!

Argh... Wh-Why, you...!

Argh!

Sorry to keep you waiting. But...you can relax now.

Even if you stand to face me again, your attacks will do nothing!

Wh-What?!

Eat this!

H-How?!

Argh!

It's not over yet!

Graaargh!!

Urgh...

I will lose this body if I continue this fight...

That...must be avoided...

Even I do not have infinite power...

*Huff* *huff...* Looks like we managed to drive him off...

If it had been just us, we might not have made it.

Grh!

A-Are you okay?! Krantz, heal him, quickly!

Right!

Ugh...

I'm sorry for doubting you! I never imagined there were demons like you...

Don't...get the wrong idea.

I merely battled that demon to achieve my own objectives.

It doesn't change the fact that...I am your enemy.

But...

Leave me be. Leave already, you fools...

You have a mission you must complete, don't you?

......

......

Alright. We'll go on ahead.

What? B-But, Krantz...!

We're just going to leave him here, injured as he is?!

......

We have our mission. We have to catch up with Mirfah as soon as possible.

Well...yes, but...

Also...I'm not sure why, but...

...he doesn't want us to stay.

You can sort of see that too, can't you, Libera?

W-Well...

...fine. Let's move on ahead.

......

I don't even know your name. But I won't forget how you helped us.

Please don't die... Good bye.

I don't know who you are, or why you saved us...

But let me just say this...

...thank you. You saved our lives.

I did it... I saved them...
