*Huff* *huff* *huff*

We've finally made it to the Ocean Shrine.

Looks like you're about at your limit, I see.

It's her again.

I recognize the courage it must take to stand before me as bruised and broken as you are.

Hmph. How conceited of you.

Even though I tricked you into telling me where you were holding Karl.

...You fools.

I see you've struggled your way to me through Lognea Cove.

Do you think you can escape me with injuries like that?

Nngh...

My minions!

Gather here and rid the world of these insects!

Wh-What is this? Where'd they all come from!?

Isn't it embarrassing for a god like you to call upon so many just to fight us humans?

Stop it with your foolish ranting.

Here is where I will finally rid myself of you.

That is all.

Hans!

Regret your foolish defiance of the gods and die!

Nngh... This is bad, there are just too many of them.

It's unlike you to be so timid in a situation like this.

That voice!

H-How'd you...

Hey there. Sorry I made you wait.

Karl!

How'd you...

You were still locked away in that room last time I checked...

It was when you came to check that I realized where I was.

Oh god of such low intelligence.

How dare you...

Lugina! What took you so long!

Quiet!

It took a long time rescuing him thanks to how lazy he is!

I already told you, I'm sorry.

Oh yeah, and Seria...

How could you let yourself get like that?

It's not my fault, a certain someone was holding me back!

It's fine, let's forget it!

We've got something to deal with here.

Right, Mare?

Your plan has already fallen apart.

What do you plan on doing now?

Human, do you dare think you stand above the gods?

I praise you for having surpassed my expectations of you.

But despite my respect for you, I will now abandon my plans and simply have you destroyed.

I, Mare, disciple of Lord Zevalhua, command you!

My minions!

Gather upon me and destroy my foes!

Kill all the humans before me!

It seems quite a number of them have already gathered here.

There are way more of them than before.

Humans. You've fought well.

I'll be sure to remember you...

...and the tragic end you're soon to meet.

Where do you think you're going!

All of you get out of my way!

There are so many of them.

Karl, you're injured...

Haha, that disciple just roughed me up a bit, that's all...

Don't play it off like that!

But Seria, you're injured too...

Th-This is just...

Just look at all these pitiful creatures!

Hey! Hans!

I'm sick of just running around.

You chase after that pale woman and take her down!

I'll take care of these two while you're gone!

We don't need you taking care of us!

Sorry to worry you, Hans.

Leave things here to us and go after that disciple.

I'll be sure to make it up to you afterwards.

We're counting on you, Hans.
