It looks like Garrett filled the area from here all the way to the sealing stone with traps.

Should've known that crazy old man would come up with something like this.

Bertz, don't just stand there, help me disarm these!

Right, I know.

Watch out... A trap...

Eeek!

Thanks, Hans! You saved me.

......

Garrett said that he wants to resurrect the demon, destroy Elgaia...

...and build an ideal nation, but is that really possible?

Even the demon Zalvard, known as the greatest disaster in Elgaia's history...

...didn't shake the foundations of Imperial rule, though the incident did inflict massive losses.

The thing that destroyed St. Creek definitely holds enormous power.

But since the time of its first appearance, the number of Summoners has increased, and their techniques have improved.

I can't imagine that it's powerful enough to actually disrupt the balance of power in present-day Elgaia.

Honestly, anyone could figure that out if they thought about it a little...

...but this idiot Garrett seems to have lost his reason since he's backed into a corner.

......

More to the point, if he does resurrect the demon, there will still be massive casualties.

Old man Grahdens told us to spare both of the Abel Faction agents...

...if things go badly, we might have to consider Garrett a lost cause.

But...

......

Mel...

Lugina seems to think that you and I are alike.

......

What do you intend to do after this?

As I am...a prisoner...

You can't lie to me. I can see your injuries are already healed.

If you wanted to escape, you could. Am I wrong?

......

If you make it as far as the sealing stone and see Garrett again...

...will you work with him, and carry out Rahnas's final wish?

If Garrett...gives the order...

Do you sincerely believe that Rahnas wished for this demon to be resurrected?

I...am not sure.

However... One thing is clear. I...have nothing without Lord Rahnas.

If it is possible that Garrett's endeavor is Lord Rahnas's wish...

...then I...must see it through.

Are you happy with that?

Rahnas is gone. You know that.

Even so...I do not mind.

I...have no future. You know that as well.

...!

I...I see...
