This place has also suffered a terrible fate...

Melord must be ahead.

......

You all be careful. This place looks a bit different from what we saw at back at the lair.

I think there might be something else here too.

Ho ho ho. Just what I expected from you, Lugina.

Lord Grahdens!

Hmm. Well, I am glad to see you are all safe.

Why are you here?

Hmm... The truth is, I simply arrived here while searching for Owen.

Huh? Which means all this carnage...

It is likely what Owen has left behind.

Tsk, likely, huh?

This is where that man guided us.

That man?

On our way here, we ran into a man who says he resents Lord Owen.

He then led him to fight other demons and beasts elsewhere.

Hm...

Actually, he also mentioned how he hated you too, Lord Grahdens.

Do you know anything about him?

Well, there are many people who do hate me.

Though I would imagine not many of them would be in Ishgria...

Th-That voice!

Melord's voice... speed=13>He really is here!

Wh-What is it now? Is that Melord?!

... So this is what Owen fought against.

Darn it. The call and the vibrations are coming from different places, but...

At this rate, that geezer will trample the floor with Melord!

...... It would appear that Owen has shared some information with you.

I think I have a pretty good idea of our current situation now.

Very well then. I shall head to where Owen is.

And while I do so, you defeat this Melord, or whatever the demon is called.

Lord Grahdens, thank you so much!

Hans, let's follow that voice!

Lord Grahdens! I want to talk to you about Karl first!

Hm? Did you meet Karl?

Y-Yes. But...

Ho ho ho. Good, good. So I assume he is doing well?

Well then, I am sure everything will sort itself out.

I shall leave him to you all. That is my decision.

Hans, that fool has the tendency to overdo things.

I want you to tell him to take things less seriously.

Well now, I shall be off.

If I do not stop Owen, you will all find yourselves in a terrible situation.

Tsk, we gotta hurry too.

Because we are going to run into demons along the way.

It doesn't matter who it is...

...but whoever makes it there first, make sure to beat Melord to a pulp!

That is if you want to keep fighting in Ishgria!

Well, obviously. I'm not gonna go until I learn Karl's true intentions.

Hans, you want to know what he's up to too, right?

So let's stop loafing around and hurry on our way!

I want to be of more use to the people as a member of Summoners' Hall.

That is why I want this mission to be successful. I want to earn the trust of others.

In order to do that, I cannot return to Elgaia without completing this mission.

Hans, please. Destroy Melord.

My power alone will not be enough. That's why...

I'm sorry. This really isn't the place to be chattering away.

Well, let's hurry!
