The enemies we just fough were the group I used to defeat the Six Heroes when I became the Dark Figure.

Their feelings were genuine and I took advantage of that, telling myself it was in order to save everyone.

I knew they couldn't defeat the Six Heroes, and I still sacrificed them as pawns.

By becoming Lucius's disciple, I cast aside my human heart as well as my body.

I...I am a coward.

Seeing that I could not defeat the Six Heroes with my own strength alone, I came up with a plan to secure a certain victory.

What's more, it was a monstrous plan, in which I would use and betray those who had believed in me.

Ark...

B-But I'm sure they understood how you felt, Ark!

Yeah, you're right.

I'm sure Kuhla and Kuda understood what I was thinking.

And even knowing that...

Ark, don't beat yourself up so much.

Tilith...do I really have the right to save Ilia?

If I am able to save her, I...

......

No, enough of that.

Either way, I will pay for my sins no matter what.

Ark...

I'm sorry, Hans, Tilith.

Let's move. The Flying Castle that Mora spoke of is right ahead.
