It's good to see you've somehow defeated the beast unscathed.

Very encouraging. That relieves me of one worry I've had on my mind for years.

Hmm... So you're curious about what the beast was?

Very well, then. You fought it and won, so you have a right to know.

That beast was created to fulfill a specific purpose, when the Bariura imperial family first came to this world.

Its purpose...was to slay the Mystical Wolf.

Having fought uphill in the war with the gods in Grand Gaia, Emperor Bariura...

...discovered the existence of the Mystical Wolf in this world.

He intended to tame the mystical wolf...

...and bring it to Grand Gaia, with all its immense power...

The emperor traveled across this world...

...and alongside the crown prince, he immediately challenged the Mystical Wolf in battle.

That demonic beast was made by a member of the imperial family at the time...

...but it was sealed away, because it was too difficult to control.

Hmm? You wish to know of the results of the battle between the forces of Emperor Bariura and the Mystical Wolf?

......

The results were appalling. Many soldiers were lost, and the assault was driven back with ease.

The emperor himself sustained a grievous wound, and is said to have died on this world soon after.

Later, those who remained on this world followed the crown prince...

...and searched for a way to return to Grand Gaia. But their search was fruitless...

...and we now believe they eventually chose to live in harmony with the Mystical Wolf on this world.

To make a long story short, we are their descendants...

All of this was no more than a legend to us, until recently.

However, with the arrival of your group, and with your knowledge of Grand Gaia...

...it became a reality.

Now, about that reward I promised you...

Here, take this scythe.

It's from the era of the emperor and crown prince I told you of earlier.

It seems to have been made for the Bariura imperial family.

Perhaps that's the reason why it remains as sharp as it ever was, even now.

Heh... I hope it serves you well in your future adventures.
