......

It would appear this human body has reached its limit...

It matters not...I will perish here...

Karna and I...all the gods have been destroyed...

I shall look forward to what kind of ruinous end the unshackled humans meet with.

Is it over...?

The Pious Emperor's power that had filled the room...I don't feel it at all anymore.

So it would appear that...

......

That's my Hans!!

Well, you could say it was a job well done. I guess...I'll praise you this one time!

Lord...Rahnas...

......

Grh...

Hm...that's a nasty injury.

It needs tending to right away.

Yes, allow me...

Huh?!

I will never forgive you... You interfered with Lord Rahnas... You never tried to understand his ideals...

One day, I will most definitely... accomplish his long-cherished desire...

......

Let's go, Mel...

......

Was letting them go a good idea?

They even refused our help with their wounds...

If we tried to force them to accept our help, they are surely prepared to resist until the very end...

I, for one, don't want to see any more die today...

......

Well, I will keep an eye on what they do from now in any case.

......

I guess those two hate Hans and the other Summoners...

Rahnas...even said it was his desire to eradicate all Summoners.

......

He...couldn't use the summoning arts, you know.

He couldn't...?!

But wasn't he in the Summoners' Hall a long time ago...?

Nowadays, the Summoners' Hall is an organization that manages and trains many Summoners...

...but back then, there were not yet many Summoners, and the organization...

...was more concerned with simply investigating the unknown in Grand Gaia.

Apart from passing through Lucius' Gate, you could also get to Grand Gaia by...

...coming and going through a dimensional door that would appear at irregular times.

The summoning arts themselves were also undeveloped at the time...

...and in battles, they played only a supplementary role.

There were more people like him who couldn't use the summoning arts then than there are now.

And as the organization developed...

...it gave rise to antagonism between those who could and couldn't use the summoning arts...didn't it?

......

Back then, we had been given a toy called the summoning arts...

...and like children, became completely engrossed...

If we had given more consideration...

...to the feelings of the ones who did not have it, all this might never have happened.

I will never forget the look on Rahnas' face when we announced his expulsion...

...like he had been betrayed by someone he believed in...

......

Hmph...

He was weak. That's why Alza Masta could take advantage of him.

That's it, pure and simple.

He was...

...a fool.

Little Owen...

In the end, the one who was able to...

...obtain the true summoning power that Rahnas so desired was you, Hans...

But I know you, this probably isn't what you wished for...

What do you plan to do in future with that power you've obtained by chance?

We definitely can't let power that strong get into the hands of people like Rahnas and his kind...

...I have to admit I'm a little anxious knowing it's in the hands of someone as impulsive as you can be...

Even though the threat's subsided now, there are still many dangers in Grand Gaia...

...as well as in Ishgria and Elgaia.

If you don't mind, I would appreciate it if you'd consider settling down in the Summoners' Hall...

...with Tilith and helping me out with a few things.

Sure... That might be nice for a while.

There's so, so much more I want to learn more about Elgaia!

But in the future, I still want to explore other worlds together with Hans!

Looks like...Hans did a good job.

It sure seems that way...

The Four Fallen Gods, Lucius, Karna Masta, and Alza Masta...

It feels like every last one of the great gods has been defeated now. Should we start calling Hans the legendary Summoner now?

What...? It's not like everyone else stood by and twiddled their thumbs, you know.

It just so happens Hans's always been in a position to deliver the finishing blow.

Don't be ridiculous... Anyway I'm off.

Hey, where are you going?! Aren't you going to meet up with Grahdens and the others?

That won't be necessary. Only thing left to do now is go home anyway.

I'm going to go and see how a certain other loser who can't do anything by themselves is doing.

...always taking care of someone, aren't you?
