Dialogue

Briefing

Lucille-NFace1.png Lucille Redmayne

How long are we going to chitchat and stand in front of the Chaos Gate?

Teida-NFace1.png Teida Beonarr

Sister Lucille is right. Time is of the essence. Everyone, let's lead our troops into the Gate.

Judy-NFace1.png Judy Ringwood

Yes, sir.


In-Dungeon

(Upon entering the Boss Room)

(Upon entering the Gate, the party is unexpectedly surrounded by lush greenery; a small oasis in the desolate land of Dark Side. At the center of it lies an old standing cross, emitting a holy aura.)


Completion

Judy-NFace1.png Judy Ringwood

This place...

Oberith-NFace1.png Oberith Rosenbach

What is this? I didn't expect this at all.

Shinjang-NFace1.png Shinjang

I was bracing myself for an army of savage Imposters waiting for us. This lush greenery...

Grandis-NFace1.png Grandis Gracia

Look, there's a cross standing in the center.

(If the Adventurer is a Lightbringer)

Lightbringer-NFace3.png Adventurer

(Michael... I can feel his energy.)

Oberith-NFace1.png Oberith Rosenbach

Grandis is right. I can feel the holy energy radiating from that cross.

It must be the source of energy that's filling the area around us.

Grandis-NFace1.png Grandis Gracia

By the looks of it, it's a remnant of the Black Crusade. I can't believe it's still capable of generating such powerful energy.

Oberith-NFace1.png Oberith Rosenbach

Perhaps it belonged to Saint Michael or one of the Holy Five.

Shinjang-NFace1.png Shinjang

Hm... I agree. Probably to Michael, judging by its density and how long it's lasted.

Lucille-NFace1.png Lucille Redmayne

...Lemidia Capella will investigate and dispose of it after this war.

Oberith-NFace1.png Oberith Rosenbach

Pardon? What do you mean, dispose of it? Sister Lucille, that cross can be related a saint. It must be managed by the main church, Lemidia Basilica.

Lucille-NFace1.png Lucille Redmayne

Please stop referring to that evil Apostle as a saint.

If that cross is related to the Holy Five, we'll hand it over to Lemidia Basilica. If it's related to Apostle Michael, it'll be purged by the flames of Capella.

Oberith-DFace2.png Oberith Rosenbach

Sister Lucille!

Allen-NFace1.png Allen Grant

Please, we're about to fight a holy war. We shouldn't fight among ourselves. I don't think you can reach an agreement as to the treatment of that cross anytime soon. How about we do this?

Since it's discovered in Chest Town, which is Imperial territory, the Empire should manage it for the duration of this war. After that, the Priest Order can decide what to do with it.

Lady Judy, what do you think?

Judy-NFace1.png Judy Ringwood

Ah, sure. Since the Dark Side used to be Imperial territory, what you suggest is proper.

Teida-NFace1.png Teida Beonarr

I also prefer that to fighting among us instead of fighting Imposters.

Grandis-NFace1.png Grandis Gracia

I agree. The Saint's cross is not important right now.

Lucille-NFace1.png Lucille Redmayne

Okay, I won't mention it until this war is over.

Oberith-NFace1.png Oberith Rosenbach

...If everyone else thinks so, then okay. We can do as you say, Brother Allen.

Allen-NFace1.png Allen Grant

Good, then let's talk about what to do from now on.

Teida-NFace1.png Teida Beonarr

We've been doing nothing but talking. What more is there to discuss?

Allen-NFace1.png Allen Grant

I understand the urgency of the situation, but we're about to enter Ozma's territory. We can't do this unprepared.

Grandis-NFace1.png Grandis Gracia

Then, Brother Allen, what do you suggest?

Allen-NFace1.png Allen Grant

This place is sustained with the painful memories of the Black Crusade that crippled the Empire and the Priest Order.

It's not exaggerating to say that the war created Lemidia Chrysos.

I'm sure Lemidia Basilica owns various records about the war, but they don't show the pain and desperate situation of the locals as vividly as their own records.

The record of the Black Crusade created by the Empire and Lemidia Chrysos even contains possible countermeasures for the same situation should it happen again in the future.

Shinjang-NFace1.png Shinjang

And they are...?

Allen-NFace1.png Allen Grant

This record includes a detailed map of the Dark Side, the process of sealing Ozma at the end of the war, and what to do in case his seal breaks.

First, this Dark Side in the pocket dimension centers around Elerinon Castle, which used to be a big city.

During the Black Crusade, Ozma occupied Elerinon and built up his Imposter army in there.

Michael sealed the castle, separated the Dark Side from the continent, and sealed it in a pocket dimension.

He double-sealed him, if you will.

Lucille-NFace1.png Lucille Redmayne

Don't forget the seal by Kazan the God of Destruction.

Allen-NFace1.png Allen Grant

Yes, that too. According to the record, there were signs of Ozma's resurrection even after Michael sealed him away.

Michael's seal wasn't perfect. Instead of Ozma himself, Michael sealed the castle with him in it, and then the Dark Side.

We believe Kazan intervened afterward.

We just don't know why the God of Destruction helped seal the God of Chaos.

But since Astaros stole the Coffin of Extinction containing his body, Kazan's seal has to have been broken.

Moreover, Michael's first seal over the Dark Side was broken when the Three Dark Knights resurrected. That leaves...

Adventurer-NFace1.png Adventurer

Only Michael's ward.

Allen-NFace1.png Allen Grant

You're shrewd. The Three Dark Knights, having released the Dark Side, will now try to lift Michael's ward around Ozma's castle.

Teida-NFace1.png Teida Beonarr

You're saying we must find and stop them before that happens.

Allen-NFace1.png Allen Grant

Yes. That can stop Ozma's resurrection. Maybe. Even if it can't, it'll at least buy us some time before he returns.

Lucille-NFace1.png Lucille Redmayne

If finding the Three Dark Knights is our priority, then we should split up.

Allen-NFace1.png Allen Grant

Sister Lucille, I can't beat you when it comes to fighting. That's what I was going to propose. The Three Dark Knights must have scattered to lift the ward around the castle from different directions.

We should split up and take care of them at the same time.

Oberith-NFace1.png Oberith Rosenbach

But that means we'll be spread thin. Our strength and firepower will be diminished.

Judy-NFace1.png Judy Ringwood

True, but we're working against time. We have to take risks to find the Dark Knights quickly.

Lucille-NFace1.png Lucille Redmayne

I believe that's been settled. The Inquisition and I will head west.

Judy-NFace1.png Judy Ringwood

Then, the Imperial Army and I'll head in the opposite direction.

Allen-NFace1.png Allen Grant

I'll go with the Imperial Army. The other Priests of Lemidia Chrysos will set up an outpost here and supply the rest of the forces. The Imperial Army will need help.

Teida-NFace1.png Teida Beonarr

Understood. Lemidia Basilica will split into two groups and join the Inquisition and the Imperial Army. Shinjang. Grandis. Go with the Imperial Army.

Grandis-NFace1.png Grandis Gracia

Got it.

Oberith-NFace1.png Oberith Rosenbach
(If the Adventurer is not a Priest)

Adventurer, what would you like to do?

(If the Adventurer is a Priest)

[ Brother / Sister ], what would you like to do?

Adventurer-NFace1.png Adventurer
(If the Adventurer is not a Priest)

I'll go with the Inquisition.

(If the Adventurer is a Priest)

I'll go with the Imperial Army.
