So this is Mt. Nerga... It certainly leaves an impression.

Yeah, I've heard that the power of the dragons who have ruled this land for generations lays dormant here.

They're planning to use that power to open the gate?

Exactly. And that's precisely why I cannot allow you to go any further...

Liomerg!

Lord Karl, as I suspected, you've sided with them...

No, you've got it all wrong. Listen to me!

I want to speak with everyone!

There must be a solution to this problem that we can all agree on.

Impudent fool. Those are the words of someone who lives in a different world.

Lord Barion!

Th-That's Karl's father?

Heh, he's quite impressive, unlike his son.

...... Hmph.

Liomerg, it's almost time to begin the ritual.

Begin securing the location.

We have enemies who pose more of a threat than these fools.

B-But Lord Barion...

Listen to me!

Why should I bother listening to someone who can't even use their own demon power?

If you have something to tell me, you must first prove your might.

That is how things are done around here.

Bloodlines mean nothing.

I am the strongest in this world. And so I exercise my desires at will.

Karna Masta will be returned to the world of the gods...with the success of this ritual.

W-Wait, please!

Lord Karl, as I warned you before, this time I will show no mercy.

You leave me no choice. I cannot allow you to interfere with the ritual.

Liomerg!

Grh...

I like where this is going!

Don't you, "Lord Karl"?

You really are terrible, you know that?

What? All this time I thought he was just a spoiled brat, but just look at this broken family!

Go ahead, Karl, let it all out... All the dark feelings inside of you!

......

Ha ha, sorry to disappoint, Lugina. But I'm not like that anymore.

All I can do now is, face what's right in front of me head on.

Hans, you heard what Barion said, right?

If we have something to tell him we must prove our might.

Which means, all we gotta do is defeat him.

Pretty straightforward, don't you think?

Karl, are you really okay with that?

Yeah, I am. Actually, I'm asking for your help.

I alone won't be enough.

I understand how you feel.

I could feel his power, Mora was right when she said that it's on a whole other level from what we've faced before.

Tsch, gotta do what we gotta do, looks like.

Hans, our enemy is your good friend's father.

But don't you dare hold anything back!

Lugina, trying to slack off again?

Ha ha, Hans, I'm counting on you, too.

Let's do this.

Let's show that stubborn fool what the power that defeated Lucius is really capable of!
