Whew... It seems as though we're broken free of them.

At least none of their repair functions were operating...

Lord Grahdens!

Ah, Reda.

It would appear, you've had a run-in with the enchanted armors, too.

Yes, sir.

Still, for that many of them to come bursting up out of the ground...

What exactly is this place?

Well, it seems to be a resting place for decommissioned enchanted armors.

A resting place for enchanted armors?

So, it's a graveyard, then.

That would be an accurate metaphor, sir.

Still, for a graveyard they didn't seem all that dead when they attacked us.

This is just speculation on my part, but...

...I suspect that on this world, being decommissioned after your mission is complete is the same as dying.

Hmm...

So even if an older armor was still functional and mobile, it would yield its duties and lay itself to rest here...

...if a newer, superior type of armor could take over for it.

I think that that's the cycle of birth and decay for the enchanted armor...

...on the world of Rokkzalm.

Hmm, I see...

A system where the old yield up their places and rest in their graves, even as they still live.

To a person like me, it seems absolutely horrifying.

But there's something I don't understand, as well.

Why did all those enchanted armors awaken right at the time they did?

Well... I hazard a guess that it was probably because we came here.

Because of us?

When you were heading for the Divine Armor, the Sealed God of this world...

...the enchanted armors were compelled to oppose you.

My theory is that they will attack any force that opposes the Divine Armor.

A force that opposes the Divine Armor...? You mean us?

Probably not according to the Armor's original nature, but since its contamination by this so-called Pious Emperor...

And this force that opposes the Pious Emperor can only be...

Summoning...right?

Indeed.

With that in mind, it seems we may have triggered more needless menaces with our visit here.

It is difficult to say whether all of you who rest here were ever alive or not, but...forgive us, all the same.
