Argh...

Ilia...why don't you answer?

Huh?! Hans, are you alright?

Ugh...this wound is...

Urk...I'm sorry...

I underestimated the situation...

For him to have so much power, even when sealed...

But I won't let you die here. I'll protect you no matter what.

Even if it costs me my life!

Don't throw your life away so easily!

Why did you go ahead, even though we said we'd all face him together?!

I told you, didn't I?

Hans is an idiot, so if we didn't get here first the fight would start without us.

That's how it's always been, so we couldn't expect anything different now.

But there must have been a reason?

Hans doesn't just act alone for no reason, right?

Here we have absolute proof that Hans's an idiot, though.

I mean, just how badly do you have to want all the glory for yourself?

Well, I will at least thank you for getting beaten down and making room for me to look good, though.

I'm glad we were just in time, anyway.

Hans, Ark...

...I'm sure you have your reasons, but both of you should stand down and leave this to us.

Everyone...

Don't go thinking you can rest!

Ark, while we're fighting you keep calling forth the Oracle Maiden's power!

As for you, Hans!

Tilith's power may have healed you a bit, but you're still holding us back in your current state!

Heal up properly, then join us! Got it?!

But if you don't make it in time for the end, I'm taking your share of the reward for this.

Don't get stingy before the final battle.

Hans, this is what you get for running off ahead.

This time, you get to watch us fight!

He he, maybe this will pay off some of the debts I've built up so far?

Watch, we'll show you we can fight, too!

Karl, you don't intend to fight like that, do you?

Oh, I know... I'll go all-out too...

......

Karna Masta...prepare yourself. I can't hold back in this form.

Karl, you look so cool!

Tilith, I really nailed that line. Don't ruin it...

Hans, it's our turn to fight for you, now.

We won't lose before you're back. But hurry...

...we'll be waiting on you, my friend!

Hans, don't worry! I'll protect everyone!

Sealed divine powers within me! Protect them all!

My...my body is overflowing with power...

Is this a goddess's divine protection?

If you could do something like this, why didn't you do it earlier?!

Not even I can do something like this all the time!

It's just that my power rose up when I thought of everyone...

Anyway, Hans!

Be sure you really get better!

I have faith that you'll come for us!

Alright, let's go, guys!

We're up against the Holy Emperor Karna Masta! We have to promise to survive and return to Elgaia together!
