Haha. It seems you're the first one here.

You have nothing to worry about.

I haven't done anything to any of you this time.

But your friends should also be arriving soon.

Well then, I shall take my leave.

I'm sure Mordlim will come soon once she notices there are intruders.

Haha. Although I did want to see her reaction once she suddenly finds herself in trouble.

...... So you're the intruders.

However, it appears that you know nothing.

...... Essentially, you're being tricked by that woman.

...... This is what makes humans stupid.

Lacking power causes the development of your technologies, but in the end you lack the wisdom to use them.

Such treasures, completely wasted.

This is why I have decided to make use of them.

Humans, you should be thankful.

Those technologies coupled with your fertility are extremely useful.

Come and walk with me. To a future where you are controlled and used by me.

No one needs that future.

Hans, aren't you a bit early?

It seems Lord Owen hasn't arrived yet. We made it in time...

So,you're that Mordlim demon?

Well, that's too bad for you.

Because you're going to get disposed of before you even get a chance to invade Elgaia.

Well, it seems you do know who I am.

My name is indeed Mordlim. And I am the demon in control of this land.

I'll give you the opportunity to make a choice.

The first is a future where you pledge your loyalty to me, and walk by my side.

The other is a future where you fight me and lose your lives.

Now, choose.

What are you, stupid? You forgot one choice.

The future where we've crushed you into a pulp.

To those of us who chose independence from the gods, the idea of following a demon is a joke.

Fools. You choose to die while dancing to Mora's tune.

Who's the fool?

Being fooled by Mora got us all the way into your lair.

...... I see. Humans truly are interesting.

There are those who know things and those who know nothing.

Despite knowing everything, you choose to stand in front of me still.

Humph, of course we don't know everything.

But it's fun to guess and surprise the ones who do know.

...... There's something quite wrong about your thirst for knowledge.

Well then, I suppose there is nothing left for us to talk about. I'll let my underlings destroy you.

Tsk, another round of a bunch of weaklings, huh?

This is all thanks to your pointless provocations!

Pft, with this number, it'll just be the same as always.

You're...

Ahhh!

W-Was that Seria?

*Cough* *cough*...

Lord Owen, this is a bit too much...

Hm, since you were struggling with the weaklings, I just came to help.

There was no struggling going on here! We hadn't even attacked!

Your first strike was too slow.

While you were gazing at the enemy, I had already struck five down.

Of course, but if your enemy has a dangerous attack...

Ah, Hans! And Paris and Lugina, too!

It looks like you had some problems of your own...

Took you long enough to get here.

We couldn't help that!

At first we were moving along at a fast pace, but along the way we suddenly encountered a lot of enemies.

Pft, that Mora really messed with your progress, eh?

But you should've seen that coming, yeah?

But Seria, you were too slow. We're already done talking with the demon.

Or in other words, you all missed your opportunity while it was right in front of you.

No! Where do you get that kind of idea?!

Hm, more excuses.

So, you were tied up with the weaklings and were not able to chase the demon.

Fine. I shall handle everything.

You all can just watch.

However, you all better be prepared for when I come back after destroying this demon.

Hey! Hans!

Have you seen Grahdens?!

Owen won't come to his senses without him!

Huh? He's taking care of other business?

You've got to be joking! Hurry up and bring him back!

Hm, Grahdens's worrying is pointless.

It is his business. He is clearly doing something behind your backs.

No! I'm worried about us!

Darn it, this again, eh?

Hey! Hans! We'll take care of things here.

You go out there and take care of Mordlim!

Go as soon as possible, all right?! Got that?!
