Hans, Lugi, over there!

You Abel Faction idiots...have really been making this hard!

Looks like Bertz isn't here yet, at least we have that.

Agh...not you!

Wait! We're not your enemies! We want to help you!

Help us? You?!

After all you Summoners' Hall rats did to Lord Rahnas, you expect us to believe you?!

Lord Rahnas worked to save the world... To save all of Elgaia!

......

To...save Elgaia?

It was Lord Rahnas's dream...a world unthreatened by gods and demons!

That was why he urged caution against the threats from the Grand Gaian gods and the Ishgrian demons so early on.

But even within the Federation, few would listen...

...most simply sought to use Lord Rahnas's power and wisdom for their own gains.

Lord Rahnas once said...

"The Empire, the Summoners' Hall, and the Federation. The current system of Elgaian national politics will no longer suffice for the world we live in.

Humanity must consolidate power, and unite under a system that can face these threats."

After he gained the true power of Summoning...

...he would have rebuilt the Elgaian system, from the ground up.

......

Yet you louts from the Summoners' Hall trampled all over his ideals.

I'll never forgive the Summoners' Hall...no, the entire world for rejecting Lord Rahnas!

So that's why you ran off here...to where that demon is sealed away.

...... Precisely. The mysterious demon that once reduced this entire region to ashes...

If we can just remove the sealing stone up ahead from the demon, and use its power...

...then plunging all of Elgaia into chaos will be a simple feat!

I will personally tear down the power structure of modern-day Elgaia...

...and build a new nation in the image of Lord Rahnas's vision!

No... You're resurrecting a demon, in order to build a nation that can fight off gods and demons?! That's madness!

If you do that, just imagine all the damage it will cause!

What do I care?!

This is all the fault of those who would not accept Lord Rahnas's superior ideals!

Even if it ends with the entire Federation...or all of Elgaia reduced to the same state as this land...

...I do not care, not in the slightest!

Garrett!

Ugh...

Mel, I shall go on ahead. You hold them up here.

......

What is the matter? Respond!

Un...derstood.

Tsch, you think you can get away?!

......

You...shall not pass.
