...this power... It is definitely unlike any other I have ever seen...

But it's still not enough...

Argh, this power...

Does that mean he was just toying with us back there?

However, it is a power that doesn't deserve to be crushed here.

Now I understand why that blue-haired man called you his "hope."

Summoner, I shall guide you henceforth.

Including myself, there are eight great demons in the land of Ishgria.

You should go face the rest of them now.

And perhaps amongst them you will find other demons as apathetic to Grand Gaia as I am.

Are you saying that you don't want to invade Grand Gaia...?

Fool. My only desire is to fight strong opponents.

I do not care for the majority of weaklings that composes your world.

Then why didn't you just say that from the beginning?!

There have been other powerful adversaries who have come here from another world, just like you.

Like those Summoners who came here so many years ago.

Summoners who came here many years ago?

However, there are other demons who do not share my mentality.

And those demons are the ones you should destroy.

I only seek to face you again once you have polished your skills on the battlefield.

So that means we'll fight each other again someday, right?

Head towards "Lem," the next land ruled by a powerful demon.

That particular demon is one you should aim to destroy.

And there you will be able to meet those people who have already faced me in battle.

......

He just says whatever he wants to, and then vanishes into thin air...

And not only that, but he completely ignored what I was saying...

...oh well.

What I really wanna know is who are those people he said had already fought him before.

It looks like he's definitely ran into Karl, but it's possible that he also met Seria and Lugina somewhere.

Whatever the case, we have no choice but to head towards Lem.

I'm going to go back to report the situation to the Hall, and then I'll return here.

Don't do anything too reckless by yourself while I'm gone, okay?

But I must admit, the two of us going on an adventure together has been pretty fun so far. He he.

Though I think saying that out loud may make Lady Tilith angry at me.

Well, let's do our very best on our way to Lem!

In order to free Lady Tilith as fast as possible, of course!

Hey, don't you think this is pretty bad?

Tsch, be quiet.

We've known that since the beginning.

I don't like this at all, but I guess we have no choice but to hope that idiot gets us outta this...
