Urgh...as expected of the Six Heroes. It seems I'm no match for them after all...

Fool...

You knew this would be the outcome. You knew that you would lose.

Yes, of course I knew of the Six Heroes' might when they were united.

That's why I prevented them from working together last time.

To prevent the spread of greater despair among humanity where hope blossomed.

Do you think this battle is your penance? Do you really think that it will lead the Six Heroes to forgive you somehow?

Hmph...I think nothing of the sort. I just wanted to try fighting them.

So many have said that the great battle's outcome would have been different had they all been together.

......

The Six Heroes were strong indeed.

The choice I made may even have been mistaken.

The world might have been saved by their hands...

...but I've spent too long dwelling on my regret. I even thought about ending my own life, at times.

......

But I am here, now...

...to save Ilia alongside Hans and Tilith!

Hans, Tilith, lend me your strength!

I have to surpass the Six Heroes!

Of course!

Let's go, Hans!

I won't let you do this...

You, who trampled all over Lord Lucius's justice, I will judge you here and now...

...for all of your countless sins!

Souls of the Six Heroes!

Stand at my side, and once and for all we will crush the man who stole your hopes away!

Unfortunately, you will be facing me instead.

Kalon!

Ghost, bound to Ilia's seal.

Ilia cannot be saved until you are eliminated.

......

What do you mean by that?!

When Ilia used her own soul to seal away Karna Masta...

...he left his own soul behind...

...in order to further secure the seal.

Even when cast down to this land, even when abandoned...

...he continued to obey Lucius's will.

......

As if you could understand...

A demon like you, who simply fights without reason or cause, who ended up slaying his own parents...!

It is precisely because I have lived a meaningless life that I understand the significance of a life with meaning.

Ark, you know what you must do, don't you?

Yes, I know. I'll leave Melord to you.

You don't have to tell me that.

Tilith, guard this castle, please.

We won't get anywhere if it's destroyed in the battle.

Leave it to me!

Let's go, Hans!

Lend me that strength of yours that overwhelms even the gods!
