Lucius!

This is...Lucius...?

So much...power...

Just being in the same place as him makes me feel like I'm being crushed...

Looks like his power isn't just for show...

Argh...

Impossible...

When did you become able to move on your own again?!

Foolish humans...

You dare betray me, a supreme god...?

I shall destroy every last one of you...

Ahhhhh!!

Argh!

Blast... To think a single attack of his could cause so much damage...

Perish...you ill-fated beings...

Please stop!

Tilith...

This light...

The Goddess protected us with her powers?

Lord Lucius, these humans don't mean to bring chaos upon the world.

Please grant them an audience!

Being who shares my great power...Tilith...

I now understand your intentions...

You shall be destroyed along with the human race...

Grr... Lord Lucius!

Lucius's power is diminishing...

Is this the Goddess's doing as well?

Imbeciles...

It seems I will have to destroy even my own servants...

I will exterminate you all...seeds of chaos...

Damn it!

Hey! Ark!

How are we supposed to fight that thing?!

Is this the monster you really cornered back in the day?!

He has grown much more powerful than before...

Could the other gods have something to do with it...?

Urgh, it's too late to back down now!

He's right...

I had a feeling Lucius wouldn't listen to what we had to say anyway.

Then we have no other choice...

Obviously not!

But we're running out of time! I get the feeling we're being surrounded!

Wh-What are we gonna do?!

Seria, you know the answer to that.

Tsch, what a pain.

He he. So it looks like we'll do what we always do.

Ugh, fine!

I got it. There's no other way we can go about it anyway.

Hans!

Leave this area to me...

...and head towards Lucius with Tilith!

If you're gonna fight Lucius, then you'll definitely need Tilith's help.

So make sure to take good care of her!

You do know what you have all gotten yourselves into, do you not?

The enemies coming after us now are nothing but elite members of Lucius's servants.

If we fight fair, we won't last more than a few minutes.

Of course I know that!

That's why I said I would stay behind!

The situation down here is still a million times better than facing that thing one on one.

Ark, have you forgotten what it feels like to be human?

Well, it seems that way.

Ark, we're counting on your powers too, you know.

......

I had long forgotten this feeling...

This is what it means to be human.

Very well then.

Bear witness to the power the Oracle Knight commands!

You guys...

Tilith, what's with the face?

You guys are the ones with the hardest task!

If you lose, you can forget about calling yourself my friend! Understood?!

Oh, I wouldn't like that...

Then go out there and give it your all!

Okay! I will!

I will stop Lord Lucius no matter what!

Good. That's what I wanted to hear.

A happy expression suits you much better...

...so don't forget to smile.

Seria...

Hey! Will you all stop wasting time?!

The enemy is almost here!

Hans, we're leaving the rest up to you.

We can brag about all this when we get back to Elgaia.

We'll tell everyone that my best friend is a Summoner stronger than the gods themselves.

Okay everyone, let's go!

Make sure you all hold on...

...until Hans and the Goddess have defeated Lucius!

Hans! C'mon!

I'll make sure that everyone returns to Elgaia safely!

So...

...when this fight is over, let's go to the beach for real this time, okay?

Promise me, Hans...
